ET There may be something little
more serious in this Spanish sensation than
appears upon the surface, says the Kentucky
Courier Journal. II is just possible that
Grant has come to the conclusion that bis
bayonet game in the South won't win--that
the votes gained by the combined agencies
of terror and manipulation will be more
than balanced by the votes lost through
the discomfort and disruption which the
despotic and bare-faced cruelty of his
Southern policy threatens to cause in the
Republican party. There are no means at
hand of knowing whether this Cuban cru
sade is justifable or not. It is just posi-
bic, we say. that Grant has struck upon a
new plan for making certain bis own re-
election. And it looks alarmingly like
success. Suppose he should plunge the
United States into war with Spain upon a
plausible pretsxt. and come out with flying
colors. Military glory carried him to the
White House before. and. having miserably
failed in all things else, it is very plausi-
bic presumption that be will resort to it
again. IncipieDt disruption is everywhere
evident in the Republican party, and, un-
less something is done to stop it and pre-
serve the unity Of that party, the re-elec-
ton Of Grant is hopeless. A foreign war
would serve the purpose admirably, and it
is just possible, again, that poor, decrepit,
downfallen Spain is to be made the victim
Of cause for which South Carolina and
be South have been made to suffer.

IT The Troy Press Of recent date
says: The name of George Brazee and the
record Of his family squables have oft found
prominence in our local Police Courts. -
Recently George Brazeo, with his wife, has
been living in Union street, and we have
had lull in the news from this interesting
family. The troubles, however, have con-
tinued in the Brazee household, and culmi-
mated yesterday morning in gross outrage.
Brazee charges that his wife is not true to
him, aud. as fitting punishment, he arose
early yesterday morning, and while she
slept he scissored all the hair from her head,
procured pint Of tar and some feathers,
and applied it 10 the shorn poll. Awaken
ing from her sleep, Mrs. Brazee found her
self all besmeared with the sticking mass,
and after liberal application of soap and
water, had the husband arrested. He ac-
knowledged his guilt, and handing the scis-
sors to tie Justice, exclaimed: There,
give these scissors to the old-when she
comes down." Brazee was admitted to
bail yesterday, and will shortly be tried on
the charge.

ANNA DICKINSON.
THEY DON'T GIVE HER CREDIT.
From the Ney.York' Stapdai


The Philadelphia Telegraph in commet-
ing on the dedication of the beautiful
monument to the martyr President Just
completed in the Quaker City, slludes to
the fact that the first suggestion of the
popular tribute came from Miss Dickin-
son very few days after the murder.
She was invited to deliver, in her native
city, her lecture on "Woman's work and
wages VIII CHI she had then recently de.
livered in Brooklyn. She replied, suggest
ing that in view of the
great national loss then claiming
public attention, she would talk about Mr..
Lincoln instead Of upon any other topic.
The committee asscnted. Her lecture was
IA decided success. In IL she proposed tina,
Philadelphia should build Lincoln monu-
ment by a popular contribution, each do
nor of one dollar to be member Of the
| association. To start the fund, she gave
| tho proceeds of the lecture, something
more than nine hundred dollars. In the
interview Telegraph reporter had with
her last week, she says that the COMMITTEES
who has had charge of erecting the monu-
ment not only failed in any way to notice
her connection with the enterprise during
the late public ceremonies, but have never
even furnished her business receipt
for the money she 90 generously gave
More than that, abe says they have circu-
lated false story that they have given
her house. Miss Dickinson don't CON-
plain, but says she thinks the gentleman
have acted very strangely toward her, in
ismuch as apparently without her exer-
tions and her noble donation the nonG'
ment might never have been erected. In
the course of the conversation Miss d.
stated that during the summer she has

Of them a thrashing; he dressed the three
