Keep Files of Your Love Letters.

The multiplicity Of breach of promise
suits during the last few. years. is fast
establishing ashost Of precedents, which
will serve to regulate hereafter the al
ways granted damages. It is curious to
note these attempts, to reduce emotions
to a cash valuation 1t is the general
practice for maids and widows all forlorn
TO file the love letters of the perfidious
man, in order that the jury may gather
from their inanity the depth Of his
affection, but it has been reserved for a
delicately organized sensitive Indiana
maiden to file her own letters as well,
so that the. jury could see the intensity
of her love, and transmute each heart
throb and soul l-thrillin the more praor
tical form of dollars and cents. 1t is at
best queer love that seeks to soothe
its wounds by plastering them over
with greenbacks, and, it is difficult to
see how any amount of money. can
recompense true woman for the in
evitable publicity and scandal that u
plaintiff in such a suit must endure.

A Lesson for England.

Itseems that the Alabama claims have
taught the English one lesson, if moth
ing more, for a very interesting case, in
volvipg heavy claim against Glad.
stones officersfor the detention Of two
steamers at Liverpool, has recently been
tried. 1t appears that in the beginning
of last year two steamers, which we're
about to clear from Liverpool for New
York and Havana, were. seized by order
of the British Government, on the sus:
picion, it lis said, that they were Intended de
to be used as war vessels in the interest
of the Cuban insurgents. The owner OF
the vessels satisfied the Government
that the suspicion was unfounded, and
he now seeks to recover about Ella 900
for the loss which he Sustained by the.
detention Of the vessels.

CONSEQUENTIAL Damages.

..r If England has to pay our modest
consequential claims, she can reapa
rich reward therefore by fling a. little
bill against France. Whom Franklin
met Silas Doane in Paris, in l776, the
two rebels built and equipped q feet of
-priyateers against England, while Franco .
was at peace with her. The losses they +
caused were enormous. Silas Deane
wrote TO Robert Morris:l :" We have
alarmed England, stopped the ,gHeat fair =.
at Chester, raised the rates OF insurance..
and deferred the English merchants
from employing the national flag, 80
that there has been seen, during the
Iast.few weeks, ~ the singular spectacle
of forty French vessels loading in tho
Thames with English merchandise"
Conyngham and Paul Jones won their
victories in vessels built and armed at
Hayre and Brest. IF it had not been
for the aid of France in ships, clothing,
arms, men, and, above all, money, dur
ing the two years before she acknowl-
edged our independence, there would
have been no oindependence to &clSnowl' .
edge at that time. The war woald have
been ended by % our defeat. If conse+
quential damages are o valid claim, how

God be thanked for booksl They
are the voices of the distant and dead,
and make us heirs of the spiritual life
of the past ages. Books are the true
travellers. They give to all who will
faithfully use them the society, the
spiritual presence of the best and great
est of our race. No matter how poor
am. No matter though the prosperous
of my own time will not enter my OBJ
scure dwelling. If the sacred writer's
will enter and take up their abode un-.

threshold and sing to me of Paradise,
or Shakespeare open to me worlds of
imagination and the workings of the
human heart, and Franklin enrich me

CUBA.

HAVANA, May 2s.-The insurgents have
again appeared in the Eastern Department :
While the gun. boat Canto was entering the
Bay of Banes, on the east coast of the iuris-
djciQn of Holguin, she was fired upon by
hq&2t rebels, who had taken up position on
GIN which overhung the channel The
channel Is narrow and crooked. and the rebels
had every chance To pour upon the gun-boat a
deadly .hre, Owing 10 the prssence OF mind
OF the commander Of the Canto, and the man
at the wheel, the boat was kept on her coure
until an opportunity was afforded her to use
her guns. As soon as she could be got into
proper position, she opened fire with her
heavy guns on the rebels, and the clif was
soon evacuated. The commander. pilot and
two sailors OF the CantO were wounded. This
10 the first time the rebels have attacked a
gun. boat. A company belonging to regi-
ment under command of the ex-irsurgrnt
UnQuiza, captured and executed the insurgent
Col jamie Moreno and his two sOns. and
four others, and killed ten of the rebels under
Vincente Garcia. In different engagements.

MoRE THAN THREE THOUSAND women are in

Many Of this number are in the departments II
Washington, but large proportion are also em.

some az light house keepen, and some occupy
positions ut military head quarters as copy lists

1878, under the administration Of President
Monroe, made postmaster Al Lancaster, Penn

post master at West Point, New York. in the
year lS4S, still retains the position. The law
giving regular appointments TO women in the
post Office department was passed in 1865 and
the salary was fixed At $500, but ii was after

points. the fire is ended by the Prussian consul
rushing upon the stage. mounting the engine and
waving the red, white and black flag OF Deutch-

Enect OF Fruit and Berries.

Fruits and berries at this season of the
year are not only precious luxries. but great
liver. promoting that secretion naturally
which many are in the habit Of obtaining only
by the means of artificial medi cines. They
thus avert many disease resulting from 4
torpid condition of the liver, Another way
ehanical effect their little seeds produce in
passing through the bowels, very much the
same as the watering Of an irrtated eve bali
when any hard substance touches that deli.
cate organ, and this water, by dssolving the
keeps them in healthier state than any pill
or purgative invented by the apothecary.
There can be no doubt that In the summer
and fall seasons people who live mainly on
fruits and berries and coarse bread can almost
ensure exemption from sickness, while those
who eat heartily Of solid meats and veRets-
bles two or three times day are liable to all
the diseases that flesh is heir to.
