deeply agitated towards change OF govern

blage was an exceedingly important one for
Madrid The leaders were outspoken in their
opposition to the government and fervent
in their resolve to strike hands in friendship
with the In!ernaionals and radicals in all
parts of Europe. The Spanish political crisis

The latest news from the South Pac.flc-of
which we publish n very interesting telegraph
report to-day-is quite encouraging. Political
excitement appears to have abated in Peru
and Chile. The vast resources Of both coun-
tries were being developed more health;y,
railroads were at work in Chile and large
amounts of valuable produce were being
transported on the lines for export. Gold bad
been discovered in new fields in Peru. Legis-
lative affairs and Cabinet calculations were
permitted to progress peaceably in Santiago,
Chile. The politicians had 1oated out the
old rumor of coming troubles between Chile,
Peru and Bolivia; but the people appear TO
have paid very little attention 10 the ma
neuvre-a hopeful sign, and one more valu
able than gold or silver to their country. Cop
per had been found in new beds near Iquique.
A Cabinet had been formed in Lima, and
preparations we're being made for the in
stalation of the President. Oar neighbors
on the South Pacific territory will come to
estimate their own national interests in good
time. When they do they will cease to revo-

Disasters by Wind and Wave.

Flood and flame, storm and tornado, appear
to be vying with each other in their sweep
and destructiveness, not only over our own
land, but in other and distant regions of the
earth. The telegraph yesterday brought us
intelligence of terrible tornado which for
two days had swept over portions of Canada,
unroding or blowing down houses, rocking
churches and public buildings, tearing up
trees and hurting them with the savageness of
a fend against persons and property, and
| carrying terror and CONSERVATION to every
heart. Montreal, Kingston and other cities
are in a fright from which they suffer much
more than by actual contact with the storm,
and Halifax harbor has been visited by a
hurricane of such violence as is seldom known
| in northern waters.
Turning from Canada to the far-off shores of
the Celestial Empire, the Atlantic cable reports
Tien-.sin, Hong Kong and other parts Of that
empire swept by wind and water, which leave
a terrible wreck behind. In Tien-tsin ten
thousand square miles have been submerged
and the people are suffering greatly. In Hong
Kong hundreds of Chinese have been drowned,
buildings have been struck by lightning, YES
sells wrecked, and devastation and ruin stalk
abroad God is no respecter of persons, and
His physical agents treat the Chinaman and
the Anglo-Saxon alike, and the common enemy
makes common friends of mankind. While
we must, of course, feel a greater degree of
sympathy with our own people in suffering,
we must also in our measure feel for those
who suffer everywhere, and especially with
the Canadians and the Chinese, VITO will one
day become citizens Of the great republic.

Prince Alexis Reception by tho Navy.
1t will be expected, of course, that Admiral
Rowan and the other naval officers Of the
squadron at this naval station will do the best
they can to entertain the Grand Duke Alexis
and the Russian naval officers who come with
him. Admiral Rowan and all under him must
feel that they are called upon to show gentle
manly lberality to the distinguished foreign
ers. Our gallant fellows would feel mean if
they could not do this. We have no doubt
they would rather take the money for this
object ont of their own pockets and scanty pay
than allow themselves and their country to be
so Inundated. In all probability they have
made suitable preparations ont of their own
money. But ought this to be Ought this
distinguished guest Of the government to be

ment ought to bear the expense-ought to pro-

We believe there is q contingent fund under
the control of the Secretary Of the Navy, and
some of it should be used for this purpose
Let it not be said that the government acts
meanly, while our naval officers are ready to
strain their resources to save the credit of the
republic for generous hospitality, Will Mr.
Robson hunt up that naval contingent fund
and give Admiral Rowan and his officers
chance of treating the Russians generously
without taxing their salaries for the cost?
Whatever is to be done let it be well done.

The Gloucester Fishcrmen's War on Canadn.
The Gloucester fishermen, in their efforts to
involve this country so far as they can in war
with Great Britain and thereby abrogate the
Treaty of Washington, have at last taken very
desperate step. A party of them, secretly
organized for the purpose, recently recaptured
the American schooner e. A. Horton, which
was lying at Guysboro, N. S., awaiting the
decision of the Admiralty Court upon charges
Of violating the Canadian fishery laws, and
put to sea with her. Immediately an English
gunboat and cutter started in pursuit, and at
last accounts were still on the chase. The
Gloucester men are greatly excited in view of
her speedy arrival at that port, especially as
British gunboat has appeared off Gloucester
to intercept her. The Surveyor of the
Port at Boston has sent an American
gunboat to Gloucester to look after Amer
lean interests, and the good will,
peace and amity so lately negotiated be-
tween ourselves and Great Britain are at the
mercy of any little breez, that may blow this
spark into fame. In the meantime General
Butler is lecturng on the disadvantages of the
treaty, trying in his magnetic way to prepare
the people for any difficulty these hot headed
fishermen may precipitate upon US. The act
of the fishermen was undoubtedly a fragrant
violation of our laws and of the laws Of nations,
and whatever the original seizure of the
schooner by the British may have been, and
in view of the very recent suppression of
attempts 10 more unlawful on the part of
General O'Neill and the Fenians, it would
seem that the government has no course to
pursue but to teach. these brawny sons of the
sea to have more regard for the peace and
prospects of their own country, even If they
must have less for their own private pockets.

The Emperor of Germ any on the National
Situation.
His Majesty the Emperor Of Germany
opened the legislative session in Berlin yester-
day. He delivered an address from the
throne, Of which we report the main features
in the HERALD to-day by cable. The EN-
peror was animated and decisive, both in his
action and expression. He pointed to the
grand results which have Injured to the Ger
man nation from territorial unifcation. The
spirit of patriotism which produced such re-
suits must not be permitted to relax until the
people of the whole empire share in
the profits. The treasury must be
replenished and kept full. Provision
must be made to cover the cost
of the border adjustments with France.
In view of the financial requirements Franco
must pay up her war indemnities. Parlia-
ment will arrange and legisate the establish
ment of a uniform gold coinage for Germany.
The foreign relations are amcable and
friendly, the correspondence with Austria
being Of the most ''corda nature" Emperor
William is not only most powerful sovereign,
but most prudent political organizer. His
present speech may be accepted as a new evil
dence of this fact. He closed with the words,
''thcre is no cause for anxety'-a very pithy
but truthful expression, which must prove
very grateful to his subjects.

BENEFIT OF LAUGHTER.

1t is said by good medical authority that
there is not the remotest corner OF little in
let of the minute blood vessels of the human
body that does not feel some wavelet from
the convulsion occasiened by good hearty
laughter, and also that the central MANI
or life principle is shaken TO its innermost
depths- sending new tides of life and
strength to the surface, thus materially ten
ding to insure good health to the persons
who indulge therin. The blood moves
more rapidly-probably caused by some
chemical or electric modification occasioned
by the convulsiou-and conveys different
impression to all the organs of the body as
it visits them on that particular mystic
journey, when the man is laughing, from
what it does at other times. For this reason
every good hearty laugh in which a person
indulges tends to lengthen his life, convey
ing as it does, new and distinct stimulus to
the vital forces. We doubt not the time
will come when physicians conceding more
Importance than they now do to the influ-
ence of the mind upon the vital forces of
the body, prescribe to the torpid and mel
ancholy patient certain number of hearty
peals of laughter, to be undergone at stated
periods, and believe that they WILL in so do
ing, find the best and most effective method
of producing the required effect upon the
patient Our advice to all is, indulge in
good hearty, soulful laughter, when the op-
portunity offers, and if you do not derive
material benefit therefrom charge us with
uttering false principles of nsaterta n,edsca.
