CuBA-SPNrN.-Th are warlike rtt-
mors from the direction of Cuba and it
is thought possible that there may be
trouble with Spain because OF the savage
cruelty of the Cuban populace. The
President is evidently sired of listening
to the stories of Cuban violence and
wrong, and one of these days there will
be display ct force off Havana which
will compel respect to American citizens.
There is n feeling that Secretary Fish
has been little too Spanish IN his feel
ings and conduct, and that it is time tor
the President TO assert bolder policy.
Some think it would be wiser to have
the war vessels which are lying in
SANTANA Bay off Havana. A display OF
force certainly could do no harm to civ
ilization and it might prevent much
harm by restraining the cruel zeal OF the
Cuban volunteers. There is something
to be said, doubtless, on the side of the
Cuban government. For many years
the attempt to overthrow the Spanish
government in Cuba have been managed
from our soil. Fillbustering expeditions
have departed from our shores SO often
as TO have become matter of history.
1t is natural therefore, that those Cubans
who are thoroughly loyal to Span who
hate revolution-shouId have strong
pIcjudices against Americans. They
should however, remember that we are
a mighty people, loylng liberty, and that
there are outrages which cannot be
endured.
There probably will be no serious
trouble with Spain, but if she cannot
learn how to govern Cuba there is no
certainty tha: our government will not
interfere. Gen. Grant naturally sympa-
thizes strongly with the Cuban revolu-
tionists, but he means to do his duty in
the light of International law. The
Cuban people must take care, however,
not otto'tempt him too much.

The extraordinary increase that has taken
place in the sale of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters during the past year, is another
proof that an intelligent people, although
they may try all things, hold fast only to
that which is good. No amount of puffery
can lift inferior articles to the position of
standard specifics. To use the words of
Tom Paine, they may go up like rocket
but are sure to come down ANONYMOUSLY
like its extinguished stick. Hundreds of
such nostrums have gone up and come down
since the introduction of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, nearly fifth of a century ago.
Yet it still remains the supreme tonic of the
age. 1t has not, and never has had a rival
in efficacy or popularity, and now stands at
the head of all proprietary remedies manu-
factured on this side of the Atlantic. In
every civilized community on the continent
or in South America, it is the accepted rem
edy for dyspepsia, bilious complaints, con-
stipation, general debility, nervous weak
ness, and many other unpleasant or danger
GUS maladies. A medicine so widely ex-
tended is of course pirated and initiated by
dealers without conscience or integrity.
Therefore, let every man and woman who
designs to purchase the genuine Hostetter's s
Stomach Bitters, see to it that they have
what they pay for, and not the results of an
infamous imposture. Look carefully at la
bel, stamp and name blown in the glass. and
name blown in the glass. and do not forget
that the true bitters is sold in bottles only.

EUGENE Barnard, of Sdnfiower county,
Mississippi, wi no died AT college, In TeDnes-
| see, 22ad March, ISL, in the 18th year OF
/ his age.
In mentioning the name of this young
man. who fell victim 10 disease away from
his home, and his kindred; We do not wish
| to open afresh, the wounds that perhaps
time, the gentle consoler and the holy power
of religion have sOothed in the hearts of
bereayed relations Neither would we mock
their feelings by cruel fiattery OF their
beloved dead. In attempting a brief iR
D1emOrfdm OF this young mau. we feel a
timidity in knowing that but few pens are
capable of pay ing just tribute TO the
virtues of one so young. Suffice il TO say,
he possessed all fond brother could wish.
an affecTionate sister could love, or a devo-
ted and bereaved mother could have asked.
Actuated by the noblest ambition. and slim
ulated by his convictions OF right and duty,
he was preparing TO consecrate himself 10
the service of his native State; to be star
beam to aid in guiding her through the dark
clouds which overhangs her present and
future destiny; being too young TO offer his
life willing sacrifice upon her bleeding
alter when in the great struggle for her
rights. But fate has decreed IL otherwise,
and we must give him up.
Ii is a beautiful and touching thought,
which prompted our Southern women 10 set
apart the anneryersary of the surrender TO
decorating with flowers the graves OF our
noble dead. We will bring thy grassy
mound in their devoted remembrance and
ask place for it in their sacred obsequies.
Metinks mother nature will appreciate
the holy motive, and each returning spring
will bring their fairest offerings to the sacred
shrine. Yes, methinks on that day the sun
light will liDger more lovely on thy lonely.
grassy mound; that the moaning night
winds will murmur more muslcally around
thy messy pillow, that they will fall more
tenderly on thy turfy bed; that the pale
faced moon will throw her silver beams, like
a halo of glory on the still beautiful earth,
and the silent stars. like calm angel-waSch-
ers will keep their sad, lone vigiis above the
peaceful dead. Then while Southern women
live and Southern flowers bloom, your love-
ly manner will not be forgotten. Weep on,
you trembling night -dews; the sod which
wraps his clay is worthy of thy silent tears.
Oh. night-let thy song be softer, wild birds
of the forest, for it is meet that thy notes
should be sad over the grave of the lovely
dead.
To the mother. sister, and brother of
EUGENE we would fain express our sympa-
thy, but know that theirs is a grief too deep
for human sympathy to soothe, too sacred for
earthly balms to alleviate. We know that
mothers heart must ache indeed, when she
looks upon her children and misses his manly
form. In vain does she listen for his foot
steps; he sleeps that long dreamless slumber
from which the voice of love cannot awake
him. Sadly we will twine the cypress and
the laurel, and wreathing it around his sa-
cred grave, leave him
"With all" his friends .'best wishes blest,
In the remembrance of his God"

DISTRESSING CAsUALTY.-From a
private letter received from Capt. I. s
Hardee, we learn that on Saturday, 9th inst,
his two little boys, aged nine and six years,
with two other little friends, went out
hunting for grapes and other wild fruit in
the woods near Chatawa. On their return
at night all four of them were strick-
en- down with burning fever, and some OF
them Immediately became delerious. The
Captain took the little sufferers to New
Orleans on Monday mornings train, and his
younger son-a bright and beautiful lad,
died soon after reaching the city-death
being preceded by convulsions. The others
were In a precarious state until the 18th,
when they began to improve, and are now
out of danger: The symptoms attending
these cases indicate that the children were
poisoned during their rambles. Their ac-
count is that they only eat fox-grapes, but
it is said that there is q poisonous grape
resembling the fox grape; also that there
is a very small spider which webs mp in the
lunches Of the fox grapes which b exceed
ingly poisonous.

ANTONIA Nj. GREEN.
Our valued friend was one peculiarly be-
loved by all who knew her. Her thorough
education and varied accom- plishments,
combined with her universally cheerful and
genial disposition, and her force of charac-
ter, pre-eminently fitted her for the society
she adorned. and the life of usefulness she
led. Her natural benevolence. refined and
ennobled by every grace which piety and
religion give TO the character, constituted
her a model of womanly virtues-whilst
her faith( patience, and fortitude, during a
long illness, and her brave, triumphant
death, illustrated "the beauty of holiness"
She was a devoted member cf the Pro-
testant Episcopal church, and it was in the
midst of youth and hope. she was called To
leave all here below, for the purer society
of angels and of Christ. In the calm, sweet

inquiry concerning her willingness to go to
God, when and how He might choose to
than that clear and never to be forgotten,
"Oh, perfectly" which was so promtly spo-
ken? Oh, who that saw that radiant look
as they heard those gentle pleadings to her
loved ones to meet her in Heaven, could
dread the passage over the dark river
thus illumined by her faith and love! Truly
the only ''sting of death is sin''-and with
the certainty of the precious SaviOur's low
ing forgivness. and supported by His strong
arm, may we, like her, pass through 1.-THE

ing behind us the same 'bright and shining

The opponents of Radicalism in our coun-

curing in these surroundings that we want
you to know. There is complete split in the
Radical rank and file in this county. o. 5.
Miles and his faction. the Longs, Balch and
others (all except Miles, carpet -baggers) is
running a tilt against Merriman Howard
Cesar, Mcclure and others. Miles and
Howard are both out for the Office of Sher-
iff. Miles don't want it to go out of the
Iamily; since reconstruction. he has held
it about two years, his relative, w. L..
Long, has held it about the same time, it
has been his opportunity to feather his
nest, he will die hard, but die he must, for
the colored people will rally to the support
of Merriman Howard, one of their own
color, and who has heretofore been the fu-
gleman of the Radicals in this county. One
blast from his trumpet has rallied them from
hill top to valley, from the piuey woods and
the swamps.
On last Friday night, Perce and CASTILLO,
from Natchez, proposed to hold a railroad
meeting at the Court House. 1t was SUBJ
terfuge, for they said only a few words
about railroads; their main speeches being
a TRADE against the Democrats, and made
up as is usual with CASTILLO, with some very
bad advice to the negroes, calculated to de-
stroy all confidence between the whites and
blacks.
We do not calculate to have any regular
nominees for Office in the field as our cOun-
ty is so largely Radical, but We will vote for
Franklin county's nomination for the Senate
from our Senatorial district, and thus show
our strength to some extent.
Can we do more? If so, suggest what.
