it confesses that its growth is slow-only 100000
in less than forty years-it is not owned or car
ried on by eastern capital; it makes its own
plans; spends its own money, and goes its own
way. OF course it has parks, and water-works,
and handsome churches, and SNOWY shops, and
large hotes-all great cities have these-it does
not have good theatre; the Lingard troop are

The telegraphic report that the presidents
message had caused great excitement at Mad
rid, can not be explained by anything found
in that document. 1t may have been inter-
preted bv something in the diplomatic rela-
tons of the two countries which has not been
made public; and perhaps the Spanish govern
ment resolved to make the appearance of the
message an occasion for diplomatic endeavor
to remove opposition TO a seizure of the steam
er Hornet by the Spanish squadron at Port
au-Pnnce. They have not dared to seize this
vessel against the direct protest of our gov
ernment; but, if our government has right
to protest, in this case, why should it not in
terfere and release the Hornet from her Span
ish blockaiers? Probably the SpaniaIds have
asked this question; and seeing the possibility
of asking it with some degree OF perunence,
they may hope to turn our government from
protesting, by means OF the friendly repre-
sensations" of other powers.
The Hornet is a steamer of go IONS burthen,
built in England in 1862 to be used in running
our blockade. She was captured and sold to
parties in New York, and was used by these
parties, for a time, in the coastwise freight
business, and at length sent to the West In
dies. 1t was charged that she carried supplies
for the insurgent Cubans. This led to her
seizure at Wilmington, n. c., where she was de-
tanned several months. Nothing being found
against her, she was released Some time after
this, she LETT New York in ballast for Nassau,
followed by an cutlery of the Spanish officials,
who insisted that she meant mischief In con-
sequence OF this outcry, she failed to get coal at
Nassau, and therefore went on to Port-au-
Prince, where she arrived towards the latter
part of December, 1870 She went next to As
pinwall, returning to Port-au-Prnce about the
10th of January, 1871; and there she has re-
manned ever since, blockaded by a Spanish
squadron.
The Spaniards claim that the Hornet has been
condemned in Spanish court at Havana. This
is their alleged reason for attempting to seize
the vessel. They have never captured her. She
has never been in their hands. They have never
done anything more than bring charges against
her which could not be proved, although they
made an attempt to prove them at Wilmington,
where all they could say received careful atten-
ton. This being the case, we cannot see why
they are allowed TO detan the Hornet at Port-au-
Prince. If there be something more, she should
be seized by our government and brought home
for inquiry If the Spanirads have a right to
blockade her at Port-au-Prince, they have
right TO seize her. She is an American vessel
with correct papers, and no government but our
own should be allowed 10 interfere with her. At
any rate, the vessel and crew should be rescued
from the possibility of being taken to Havana
and delivered over to the tender merces of that
mob of cutthroats known as Cuban volunteers.

in this way the smallest details are brought out
with astonishing minuteness.
Dr. Burg, in reviewing the statistics of deaths
from cholera finds out that out of about 80 900
artizans in copper, brass and bronze employed
in Paris and other cities during the last out
break of cholera, only 16 deaths resulted from
that disease. Another interesting fact bearing
on this question is that the city of Mino-Tmto,
surrounded as it is by copper mines, has never
been visited by this epidemic.
A western paper says: "Any person wishing
to trade a pair of arctic overshOes or a pair OF
bucks1in mittens for steamboat can be ac-
commodated by calling upon any of our steam
boat men. Lots Of men have GOT more steam
boats than they know what to do with. One

EDITOR CHRONICLE :-On a short visit
to the Mecca Of America, you will find
that the busy farmers have not neg
lected to plant a large quantity Of corn,
which, Notwithstanding the very dry
weather we have had, looks prosperous,
being about a foot high and Of good
green color. On account Of the good
home market, there has been a very
large amount Of fax sown, which looks
much better than could be expected
Wheat that was sown In the fall is not as
good as we were in hopes to have had,
being quite short and backward. Our
cheese factories, that I have spoken OF
heretofore, are doing nicely, the milk OF
our township being manufactured by
them. They have quite a large amount
Of cheese on hand, holding it on account
of depreciation in price. Some three or
four oil wells are pumping, but not as
successfully as in the winter, the best
averaging only two barrels per day
The anniversary of the Teetotal Tenn
perance Society was celebrated the v
of the 18th, at the church, by songs,
essays, declarations, &c, which was
quite gratifying. L.E.R'

The Niles Independent, Of Friday
last, contains the valedictory Of the late
editor, Mr.. J. H. Fluhart who %reires
from the paper, and is succeeded by MI.
NJ. d. Sanderson. Mr.. Fluhart labored
hard to establish the paper on a perma-
uent basis, and had the satisfaction Of
being able at the end of his administra-
ton to announce that "pecuniRrily the
Independent is a success" Mr.. Sander
son is a practical printer, editor and law
yer. We expect that under his capable
management the paper will continue to
prosper.

in numbers sweet and full. Entranced
we listen, God made those instruments.
Midst this great joy was some lone
