cedness IL would present.

Whatever may come of the new movement
in behalf of the abolition of Slavery in Span
ish dominions, humane people will be glad to
learn that the Spanish Cabinet has formally
taken steps in that direction. For centuries,
Spain has either openly encouraged and fos-
tered, or covertly connived at, this infamous
traffic; and, though often promising, has never
taken any honest measures for the ameliora-
ton of the condition of the slaves in the
West Indies, or for their ultimate freedom.
This time Amadeus has an opportunity to win
favor and renOwn.

THE JUBILEE CANNON.
From the Boston Globe, juno s.h.l


Yesterday afternoon, at 1 o'clock,
quite \ crowd gathered on the Common
to witness the trial OF the electrical
apparatus which Is to b. used in firing
the guns ut the Jubilee. Three teiI-
FOUNDER Parrot guns were brought
upon the ground and connected with
the battery by leading wires. The
apparatus used consisted ola powerful
battery connected with n keyboard
containing twenty keys, each one Of
which unites with the usual coil OF
wire. Higher up, and a little farther
back OH tho keyboard, Is second set
of keys, which connect with a smaller
aud weaker battery, the current Of
which 10 inst strong enough, when the
primer IL placed In the gun and Joined
with the wire, to raise this key, thus
indicating when the gun Is loaded and
priined. Should the primer be bad the
circuit Is not completed and the key is
not raised. The primer Is the one
ordinarily nsed In artillery practice,
with the addition ola piece Of platinum
wire connecting With two ANAL copper
wires which are used to complete the
electrical circuit. When this Is done
the weaker battery Is reinforced by
switching on the stronger one, and the
gun Is discharged by pressing upon the
key. The machinery used was invent
cd by Ii. j. Smith, and Is manufac-
tured by Geo. Z. Lincoln q Co.. Sum-
mer street. The trial yesterday was
made for the purpose Of testing some
Improvements In the keyboard. The
guns were loaded aud discharged
separately at first, but afterwards the
wires were connected and the guns all
discharged at the same time.

quently made; so, taking a candle, che
led the way, followed by her young
friends. When part way through the
party suddenly saw the light disappear.
Calling to Miss Richardson, their guide
aud light bearer, and receiving no re-
ply, they rau out of the tunnel and
called her father, stating that Edith
had disappeared. He hurried to the
shaft and commenced descending, but
had not got down when the bell from
the bottom Of the shaft, ITO feet below,
rang for them to hoist, and soon the
tub came up frelghted with the CHASTITY
remains Of what was, a few moments
before. the sprightly, and full Of life,
Edith Richardson! Il seems that, from
some cause. she walked right Into the
shaft, and fell a distance Of ITO feet.
Two men were working In the bottom
of the shaft, who, hearing something
coming down, succeeded in getting out
Of the way. Miss Richardson must
have been killed instantly, being com
pletely crushed.

The romantic poet editor Of the En-
terprise is convalescent. He draws u
deep sigh Of relief In this mornings
issue Of his paper, as In noting the de-
parture Of Mr.. Sharon-"the only man
he ever loved, for San Francisco, he
sentimentally ~exclaims, "Adleu. VIII
lam" We can Imagine this editorial
Joseph r~esolutely buttoning up his
Dolly Warden coat Of many colors as
he says this, and then going on to PEN
Gil of the balance Of his farewell re-
marks, and gradually working himself
up into q virtuously vicious mood Is
he writes. How dreadfully does he
cut Sharon up, and try to say things to
make the unfortunate man feel bad.
How he does rip and tear Sharon's liz
tie ratification speech into shreds
with his critical pitchfork, for the first
time In his life realizing that Sharon
can't make a speech; that he never
could, never did, and never will.
Wonder II Joseph remembers any Of
the jolly little speeches he has himself
made In times past, OH certain public
occasions, and the amount.of applause
which they didu't receive, especially
that one where he bearded tho Repub-
lican Convention In Its den, and round
ly declared TINT unless certain per-
sonal friends Of his were favored In the
nomination, he would scuttle tho ship
and wade ashore, leaving tho party to
20 to Davy Jones. Staunch Repu6ll-
eaus even then were presumptuous
enough to doubt the ability Of the En-.
,erprise to scuttle tho old ship, or to
rule the party, aud are still skeptlcal
In that respect.
Does this redoubtabls editor think
he can dictate or direct the opinions
Of tho people Of this section, that lie
can erect a golden calf and make his
fellow-citizens bow down and worship
it? Does he thiak that, by his blind,
reckless abuse of his formerly much
laujed friend and lucrative patron,
Sharon, he will the most benefit his
new found idol, Jones? Thus far the
effect has been discouragingly tho OPP

way he came. around by Carson. Slia-
ron will probably return In the course
Of a week or two, and then, perhaps,
maliciously throw that editor into the
deepest distress by coming in over the
Geiger grade on horseback, instead of
riding over the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad, or In a stage coach. But the
agony Is over for the present. Sharon
is gone, and the editor Of the Emtsr-

TnR London Economist recently con-
tiined an article on the approaching
Presidential election, In which the
following appeared "There are
some general considerations patent to
all observers, which seem to Us strongly
in favor Of General Grants prospects
of reelection. One OF these Is that he
Is, of all men on the American CONT
nent, the man best known, IL perhaps
the only whose name, look and
history are familiar in every house,
hold, In every State OF the Union. And
in an immense majority of those house
holds, certainly In five millions out Of
the seven, tho knowledge Of him is
more or less favorable and pleasant.
Quite a fifth Of the whole body OF cleo
tors have been In n way or another
under his command, and have felt per-
sonally benefited and raised in the scale
OF being BY his triumphant success In
the war. That Is a very strong feeling
In q mans favor anywhere, and it is
especially strong In the Union where
men. who YER passionately interested
In their war, entertain q great admira-
tion Of soldlership, and accord to gem
erals, and to generals alone, that kind
o fra1I, ofiuherent right to respect and
following, which In England Is only
given to the old mobiles. It Is a feeling
which, unless wounded by new events,
Is not at all tieeting, and nothing has
occurred during General Grants presi-
deucy to wound Il. He has not lowered
the national flag In any way, has not
been visibly defeated in any enterprise,
has not proposed to do anything very
much disliked By the masses Of the
people. No reason plain folks can see
exists for voting against him now,
which did not exist for voting against
him four years ago, when he was cleo
ted BY a clear majority OF 100000
votes"
