1t is reported that serious movement of
recruitment for the Cuban cause is going on
in Canada. A considerable number of men
have been enlisted, who are to rendezvous at
a given point in the United States prepara-
tory to sailing. Ever since the outbreak of
the insuIrection these costly and inefficient
measures have been the favorite resource of
the Junta for getting rid of the money which
seems so plentiful with them. 1t appears i'm
possible for them TO make up their minds
that a people is never saved by any power
pXCent itself.

A curious defense was offered yesterday by
German sea-captain charged in the United
States Court with starving two of bis steerage
passengers. The laws of Germany require
that only half the amount of food demanded
by the United States laws be furnished each
passenger, and this was advanced in extenua-
tion of the crime ought to be understood
that offenders against United States laws are
to be tried under them, and not those of Ger
many; and that no laws of any country Justify
the violation of those of humanity.

The reign of lawlessness seems to be estab-
lished in permanence in the neighbOrhOod OF
the AmalOr Mine, in California The men of
the Miners League yesterday set fire to the
buckeye Branch of that famous mine, and the
cravest consequences are feared from the ex-
cited state of public opinion. The only law
that has any especial sanction in those regions
is that which is accepted as conducting to the
common good, and when the instinct of self
preservation is perverted by the spirit Of preju-
die. alil riot. chaOs is come.

One Of those absurd mistakes which are ut
terly insignificant in themselves, yet some
times lead to important consequences, was
yesterday made in the House of Commons.
Mr.. Gladstone presented a Royal Message
which was addressed in reality to the House
of Lords, asking that provision should be
made for Prince Arthur The announcement
of this trif1ing error was greeted, we are told,
with "derisive shouts by the Opposition, and

Prince for receiving his income is very materi-
