When the Consular and Diplomatic bill
came up on Friday, Mr.. Voorhees, spoke
against it because it contained an appro-
priation for the consulate at Havana. He
spoke of Spain as being brutal, bloody
power, against which the Cubans revolted,
being supported therein by the sympa-
thies of the people Of the United States.
The struggle in Cuba for the last three
years has beenalmost unparalleled. Though
Spain had in 1869, 100000 soldiers in
Cuba and fifty seven vessels of war in
Cuban waters, it was given out at the
State Department in Washington that
the struggle was not worthy of notice.
Mr.. Garfield hoped the House would be
very slow to take any measure in regard
to Cuba, to Spain, to Great Britain, or to
any other nation with which ws are new
at peace, to harrass and iritate and deepen
the angry feelings which already exist.

In show windows, and do not crowd goods

mitted in warehouses, particularly where
goods are stacked or cotton stored. Where
furnaces are used the principal register

HARPER's PERIODICALS.
HARPER,s MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed in
the English language than appear perpetual
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
It's scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popu-
lar understanding, and designed as much to
diffuse correct information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Ditfu
sion of Useful knowledge"
The great design of Harpel's is to give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not q cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly more popular magazine in the world

The most popular in its scheme, the most
original of our magazines.--Nation.

HARPER,S WEEKLY.

The best publication ofits classin America,
and so far ahead of all other weekly journals
as not to permit of any comparison between
it and any of their number
Its columns contain the finest collections of
reading matter that are printed.
Its illustrations are numerous and beauti-
full, being furnished by the best artists in the
country.-BoSton IEareler
Harper's Weekly deserves its primary in
this class OF publication, alike for the value
of its matter as the excellence of its illustra-
tons. The spirited and telling pictorial sat
dictated in aid of sound public opinion, and
against public wrongs and follies. The edi-
torials on public affairs are models of discus
sion, weighty and temperate, supporting high
principles in an elevated tone and chasten-
ed literary style.-Eran.iste' and Chronicle.

rTsHE SCIENCE OF HEALTH.
PROSPECTUS OF
Anew Independent Health Monthly.

The object of it is, to teach the people all
that pertains to the preservation of Health,
the prevention of Diseases, and how to live
in order to develop normally in body and
mind.
1t is not a Medical journal, but PHYsIo-
LOGICAL and HYGIENIC, a family aaGgdzine,
containing just that practical information on
the laws of Life and Health, useful to every
member of the household, and cannot but he
worth many times its price to every family
in which it is read.
Quack Medicines, and quack doctors will
be exposed, and swindlers will not be al
lowed to impose on the people where the
SCIENCE of HEALTH is generally circulated
This journal will be exponent of all known
means by which Health, Strength, Vigor,
and Long Life, may be attained by using
and regulating those agencies which are all
ways accessible and so vitality related to
Health and the treatment of Diseases, in
GLIDING Air, Light, Temperature, Bathing,
Eating, Drinking, Recreation. Exercise, Rest
Sleep, Electricity, Montal Influences, Social
Relations, and all Normal agents and Hy-
gienic materials. All that is required to
keep well and to preserve health, is a
knowledge of the uses and misuses OF these
agencies.
The SCIENCE of HEALTH will be the hest
exponent of the Scientific principles of these
subjects, and not the organ of any particular
institution, or of the professional practice
of any one, but devoted to the best interests
of the whole people.

This paper at the outset occupied place
not filled by any American periodical and
won for itself a deserved popularity. 1t is

While fully maintaining its position as a mir

spared no labor or expense necessary to make

with his private aims or desires. In
fact he recognizes his public and po-
litical duty as subordinate to his per-
sonal interests.
These are some of the considera-
tons that impel us to recommend a
participation in the proceedings of the
convention at Cincinnati, and there
to- take such action as wisdom and
patriotism may dictate.
This convention will be composed
of many of the leading minds of the
Republican party, and is exclusively
a gathering of the members of that
party. Many of those who will be
present have made iliustriOus records
of devotion to Republican principles,
and are historically identified with
the proudest of Republican triumphs.
But they will be men of independent
character aud fearless purpose-not
prepared to how the knee to the Baal
of o personal despotism who
are in favor of Republican govern
nent in the United States, and who
believe we are in supreme peril of
losing it.
