THE LEEwARD IsLANDs.-A bill
has been introduced in the British
Parliament for the confederation of
the Leeward Islands, consisting of
Dominica, Montserrat, Antigua, st.
Christopher, Nevis, Anguilla and the
Virgin group. BY the letters patent
issued from the British Crown in
1889 separate Legislatures were es-
tablished in each of these islands,
together with a general Legislature,
but the latter body only met six
times, the last time having been i'll
179S. Prior to 1866 each island had
two legislative houses, one nOmina-
ted by the Governor and the other
elected, but this system was cum
brous, and a single house was adOp-
ted. Under the new plan the Gen
eral Legislature is TO consist of ftWen-
ty members, of whom ten will be
elected by the separate Legislatures,
three will be ex-OfficiO members, and
the President and six others will be
nominated by the Crown. Each Is
land will have one nominated mem
Der and the ten elected members will
be apportioned according to wealth
and population. The Legislature is
to have the power to deal with the
currency, mercantile and criminal law
and the postal service.

HUMILITY.
by JAMES MONTGOMERY.

The bird that scars on highest wing,
Builds on the ground her IOwly nest;
And she that doth so sWeetiy sing,
Sings IN the shade when ali things rest.
What honor hath humility2
When Mary chose the better part,
she meekly sat at Jesus feet;
ana Lydia,s gently opened he9rt
Was made for Gods own temple meet;
arrest and best adorned is she
whose clothing is humility.
The saipt That wears Heavens brightest
Clown,
- In deepest alteration bends;
The weight ofglory bows him down
Then most when most his soul ascends;
Nearest the throne itself must DO
The nootstOOl of humility.

The Fastest Train in the World.

The new express train from Ply
mouth to London will probably be
the fastest train in the world, in the
part of its journey which lies over
the Bristol and Exeter and Great
Western Railways. Leaving Exeter
at 10 80, it is timed to reach Padding
ton at 2 :45 including a stoppage of
five minutes at Bristol, and the in
evitable and veXatious ten minutes
at SwindOn, the journey of 1914 miles
will occupy four hours and quarter.
The Irish mali, hitherto considered
the fastest train, occupies six hours
and thirty five minutes between Lon
don and HOlyhcad, being at the pace
of only ITO miles in four hours and a
quarter. The fastest train on the
Great Northern line is between Lon
don and Peterborough, 76, miles,
which is done in one hour and thirty
seven minutes; but the Great Yves
tern accelerated express will run
from SwindOn to London, II miles,
in one hour and twenty-seven min
utes. The IL 10 train from Padding
ton viii perform the journey to Ply
mouth i'll only five minutes more
time than the new up express.

"No man is a gentleman who,
without provocation, would treat

A SPANISH SPREAD-EAGLE SPEECH.
Resolution to Prosecute the War and Never to
Part With Cuba.
TELEGRAM TO the New YORK. HERALD.

The following despatch has been received
from the HERALD correspondent at the CAPT.
tal Of SPAIN -
MADRID, July 10, 1871.
IN spite Of the depressing heat the Cortes
has been engaged tor the last two days In
exciting and fruitless debates on the provin-
Eial policy of the government.
NJ. CASTELAR,, the leader of the republican
party, attacked the Ministry vehemently. He
said that the government had not fulfilled any
of the promises which it had made to the
country and that its policy has thus far been
barren of results.
The party in power, he said, had one by
one put in practice all those measures which
it had censured under preceding administra-
tlons.
RATHER SEVERE ON THE MINISTRY.
Senor Tollentes, Of the moderados, then
pombated the vacillating conduct of the gov
Arnment with regard to Cuba.
He denounced the Cabinet for having enter
tanned the proposition said to have emanated
from United States Minister Sickles for the
sale of Cuba-a course calculated to encour-
age the instruction in the island aud to keep
hp useless agitations in the United States.
HIGHFLowN PHRASES.
The speaker said while patriotism beats in
Spanish hearts Cuba will not be alienated from
The mother country.
In the name of his party he presented
motion for the vigorous prosecution of the
tvar to prevent the loss of Cuba.
He urged the Cortes to grant additional
funds, if necessary for the speedy suppression
of the instruction.
Sehor Arvuelles, of the Carlist party, sup
ported the motion. He secuted the PROPOSE
tion of selling Cuba.
1t was finally resolved by large majority
that Cuba should be kept at all hazlrds.
THE TOBACCO MONOPOLY MAINTAINED.
The Cortes then approved, without discus
sion or amendment, the bill providing for the
continuation of the tobacco monopoly in the
hands Of the government.
