the vessel. The schooner Moses Patton
has also arrived at the same port in a
bad condition, having cast portion OF

the vessel A number OF other vessels
have arrived, all more or less damaged,
including the ship Othello, from Havre.
The Cuban Policy.
The reply Of the President to Senior
Roberts on the occasion OF the latter
presenting his letter OF recall as Spanish
Minister has been the theme Of quiet
speculation since the date Of its
delivery. The friends OF free Cuba
look upon it as an intimation on the
part OF the President Of that change in
the policy of this government in Spanish
affairs, which has been so often
announced as speedily TO take place
On the other hand gentleman, whose
relations with the State Department are
of a confidential character, expressed
the opinion tonight that SO long as
Secretary Fish remained in the Cabinet
there would be no change in the Cuban
policy, unless brought about by some
additional acts OF aggression by Spain
toward American interests in the West
Indies, requiring the active interference
Of the President.

The 81. Louis Postofiiee-Reported
Wholesale Destruction OF frinteo
Mail Matter-An Investigation ke-
suits I'm the Removal OF the Assist
ant Postmaster.

CHICAGO, April "A dispatch from
ST. Louis reports that startling state
of affairs has been discovered in the ST,
Louis Postofice. A discharged en-
ploye has reported to Washington that
the wholesale destruction OF printed
matter sent out by merchants OF Cincin'
natl and Chicago is common; that the
clerks often throw out letters whose
addresses they cannot readily make out
and rever send them at all, and that
they discriminate in the distribution OF
newspapers, sending those which meet
their political and religious tastes,
Roman Catholics being favored.
4. J. Smith, Postmaster, is charged
with leaving his Office TO the employees
aud knowing nothing OF its abuses.
Last Monday, in obedience to the direc'
tors from Washington, Mr.. Patheridge,
special agent OF the Postotlice Depart
ment, arrived in the city and COM
menced an investigation Of the charges.
A secret examination OF witnesses was
held. over a hunurci in number and
the result was peremp,ory discharge of
Assistant Postmaster F. F. Walsh, who
has been connected with the postoffice
for leeven years, and the chief clerk Of
the paper and printed mail matter de-
partment
1t has just been made public that the
entire mail which lett here on the Fort
Wayne railroad on the night ofthe 2Oth

The Queen.

LONDON, April Her Majesty
Queen Victoria left Baden Baden yes
terday afternoon, en- route for England.
On the day of her departure she pre-
sented to the Burgomaster the sum OF
800 forins for distribution among the
deserving poor of the city. 1t is be-
lieved that the recent interview at
Baden Baden between her Majesty and
the Prince Imperial of Germany, at
which several other members OF the
Royal family of England were also
present, although ostensibly OF a prl-
vate family nature, may have an i'm
portant influence upon the future
political relations of England and Ger
many.
1t is reported in we'll informed official
circles here that at the interview at
Baden Baden, last week, between Queen
Victoria and the Prince Imperial Of
Prussia the question OF the expediency
of her Majestys abdication in favor OF
the Prince OF Wales was discussed.
The ultimate result Of the interview
cannot be learned but it is believed that
her Majesty, who it is affirmed, has for
several years past seriously considered
the question Of abdication, had decided
TO take counsel and advice Of her royal
relations of Prussia before taking any
decisive action in q matter OF such
grave importance.
The Nine Hour Labor Movement.
The nine hour labor movement
which, until lately, has been chiefly
confined to the larger manufacturing
cities, is rapidly spreading into the ag-
ricultural districts. The system of the
formation of labor unions is also find
ing great favor among the agricultural
communities throughout the the coun-
try, and many have been organized and
are now in successful operation. Nu-
merous agricultural mass meetings are
being held, with the view Of furthering
the movement.
Terrible Earthquake.
LONDON, April s, ! A. M.-Dis-
patches just received in this city con.
tain information OF a terrible earthquake
in Syria, on the 3rd inst, by which the
ancient city OF Antioch has been almost
entirely destroyed. The calamity has
been attended with a fearful loss Of
human life Upwards Of 1900 Of
unfortunate inhabitants perished, being
instantly killed by the falling buildings.
Thousand are injured and rendered
homeless. The whole city is in ruins,
scarcely a building being left standing
The internal commissions, which con-
tinued at intervals during the day Of
the I'd inst, warned the people Of the
approaching danger, and many had
time to flee before the climax arrived.
The earthquake also extended over a
large tract of the surrounding country

KENTUCKY OUTLOOK

The Courier-Journal takes the follow
ing philosophical view of Liberalism in
Tennessee:
That it should take an old party
strumpet, like Andrew johnson, IN the
absence of more acceptable leader, is
to be explained only through its local
its personal passions and prejudices.
Johnson not only does not represent it,
but he Is sure TO disappoint it. He is
simply disorganizer. The moment he
is elected he will make his peace with
the men who opposed him and turn his
back on his present supporters. He is
not merely a selfish and insincere uoli.
tician, but he is an unreliable man. But
the danger is that he will, when elected
as he is likely to be-reorganize and
establish, around his own person. the
identical spirit and system which he is
now trying to break down because be

CALIFORNIA COTTON CULTURE.

In 1866 the cultivation OF cotton IN
Kern county, California, was attempted
as an experiment, and thirty thousand
mounds were raised, which was sold in
San Francisco at thirty cents per pound.
In that county the farmers are entering
into the culture of cotton with spirit and
success, and in other portions OF the
State, where the alkali lands predomi-
nate and the climate is favorable, the
textile fabric has become one OF the
staple productions. This year a large
area Of land has been planted in cotton.
In less than two months from the time OF
planting, the fields are covered with bolls
and blooms, while in the South it takes
from three to three and half months
for the plants to reach this stage OF de-
velopment. A gentleman who is praeti-
cally engaged in the cotton culture
writes to the San Francisco Bulletin that
he regards the valley Of the Kern as
superior to the famous cotton belt OF the
Mississippi for the growth of this staple,
He believes that the yield per acre Will
be greater than in any of the Atlantic
States, that less labor is required TO eul-
tivate it successfully, and that the growth
of the plant is more rapid and uniform
than anywhere else. He says that Cali
fornia is the only country that has ever
produced an entire crop which has been
classified by experts as Of the uniform
grade, New Orleans middling." This
gentleman has made careful estimate
If the cost of production Of the grow
ing crop, from the time Of planting to
its delivery for shipment. which he sets
at thirteen and fourth cents per pound.
Other estimates place the cost Of pro-
duction much lower. An English firm
in San francisco agrees to give twenty
two cents per pound for all the cotton
that offers Of the same grade which is
now produced in the State. AS in the
South the question Of labor is il the
way, viz: to procure the requisite labor
at such rates as will leave the producer
a profit. From the accounts in the
California journals it would appear that,
so far, the cotton planter has been well
remunerated for his enterprise.

From the Saturday Review.lJ iH9
Nothing surprises men more than the
odd ignorance Of women concerning
them; and half the unhappiness in mar
ried life, at least in England, springs
from that ignorance. They cannot be
made to understand the difference be-
tween a man nature and requirements
and their own, and condemn all that
they cannot understand. In those few
rational homes where mems sports and
gatherings, undisturbed by the presence
OF petticoats, are not made occasions
for suspicion or remonstrance, the stock
Of love and happiness with which mar
ried life began is more like the widow Z
curse than elsewhere; but unfortunately
for both wives and husbands, these
homes are rare; while those are common
where a game Of billiards 10 the evening
is occasion for tears or poutlng, and
deadly offense is taken at club dinners
or a week shooting. The consequence
of which is deceit or discussion; and
sometimes both, lsfs. r..a,r fsT
The Woman's ideal man has acne OF
