A GREAT deal Of praise has been bestowed
upon Capt. Fry of the Virgnius, for the he
roism, GOODNESS and even Christian spirit he
displayed after his capture by the Cuban Off
cials. When it is known that this cammand-
er Of filibustering vessel, was the confeder-
ate captain who so inhumanly butchered the
men of the United States vessel Mound City
while struggling in the water, into which they
had been thrown by the explosion of their
vessel, he will not be likely to be regarded in
better light than the blood-thirsty officials
that shot him at Santiago de Cuba.

THE SALARY BILL.
The provisions of the bill repeating the sala-
ry law extend to all officers and members bene-
fitted by the law except when prohibited by
the Constitution, and includes Cabinet and Bu-
reau officers. The only exceptions are the
President and Supreme Court Justices; and as
to the President reduction to $25, 900 is pro-
vlded for after the expiration of Gen. Grant s
term.
An additional feature of the Caucus Com
mittee salary b H. it is reported, provides that
the salaries of every new Justice of the Su-
preme Court shall be reduced. Many Western
and Northern members declare they will not
support the bill. Some who have taken back
pay say they will oppose it. The committee
are not unanimous, but have agreed to report
the bill.

1t is also probable that Mr.. Carpenter will be

The Machias Union takes decided grounds

The Machias Union takes decided grounds
against the proposition to reduce the number
OF customs collection districts in Maine to
three. Itdeclares that it is equally sensible
to abolish the small postofices on the
ground that they do not pay their ex-
penses and let the people go without mail
facilities as to do away with the smaller col
lection districts because they do not pay.
The Union urges that the offices are neeessa-
ry to the convenience of the marine interests
of all of the ports where collectorships
are now established. 1t is to be presumed
that it is the intention of the Commission to
have deputies at all these places who can per-
form the duties just as they do at present.

THE SAN DOMINGO PRoTEcToRATE.-The
application of President Baez of San Domingo,
for an American protectorate of that country is
made in letter dated August 18th, 1873 The
writer reviews the historic struggle of San Do
mingo to establish its independence and to Sc
cure internal peace, always against the
secret instigations and open hostilities of
Hayti. 1t was for these reasons that
annexation to the United States was de-
sired. The failure of that plan brought new
difficulties by adding to the jealousy and hatred
Of their neighbors, and, says President Baez,
the SANTANA Bay Company has given the fin
ishing stroke to this situation, especially since
the noise of its establishment has been succeed
ed by the most absolute silence and the most
listless Indifference" This is hard cut on
the projectors of that enterprise The DUmini-
cans believe, therefore, that security for the flu
ture can best besobtained blythe establishment
OF an efficient protectorate, which may preserve
them from unwarranted attacks made at their
very existence" and they hope that this will
not be dstasteful even to American oppo tents
of annexation. The manner, however, in which
the proposition will be received here will be
likely to have an enlightening effect

message to the third Legislative Assembly of
Wyoming Territory, makes the following state.
ment in reference to the practical working of
woman suffrage there:
The experiment of granting to women 3

A "HRILLING SALOON EpIsopE.--Th

A "HRILLING SALOON EpIsoDE.---The
New York Tribune tells the following story .:
A nan named Wiebold, entered saloon
in linda street, Brooklyn, Il. d., last Satur-
day, aid called for glass of beer. After
drinking, he seated himself in chair in the
centreof tho room, and soon after began to
stare t the proprietor, who imagined the
customer to be deeply engaged in thought.
The sloon keeper desiring to 60 out, asked
the visitor to attend to his affairs in his
absene, and although there was no reply,
he tok it for granted that his request wonld
be cmplied with, and Immediately left the
salool A little while afterwards hc re-
turne, and the visitor still sat upright and
motiolcss near the table. The brewer who
suppbd the restaurant keeper with beer
soon fterward came in and invited all hands
to dlnk. The man at the table failed to
respod, and the saloon keeper, becoming
cnraed at his indifference, came from be =
hindhe counter, pulled him out Of his chair,
dragged him up to the bar, and showed a
glass of beer toward him. As the proprie-
tor vthdrew his hand from the collar of the
visitr, the latter sank to the floor, and the
starting discovery was made that Wcibold
was cad. lie had probably expired imme-
diaty after drinking the beer, and had been
co,se more than an hour Coroner White
halleld an inquest in the case yesterday,
and was ascertained that Weibold had died
of hart disease.

Governor Letcher, the other day, related
an incident Of the war. He said that in one
Of the battles before Richmond, four flag
bearers had been shot down, and call was
made for volunteer to carry the colors. A
STRIPPING took the torn standard. In few
minutes the staff was snapped by shot.
The boy sat down, unlooscd shoe string,
and tied it. He started in front again An
other bullet splintered the staff. Is was
then fastened by the other shoc-string. He
then hardly shook the folds out a second time,
when down fell the flag, struck by ball
The shoe strings gave out. He unbuttoned
his jacket, ripped his shirt to ribbons, and
wrapped the broken rod and carried the shat
tered ensign through the fight Governor
Letcher said: "When they brought me the
boy with the shattered staff patched up with
shoe.strings and shirt tails, made him an
officer, and gave him the best sword Virginia
had"

MAKE THE BEST OF YouRsELvEs.-Are
you making the best of yourself? Are you
using to the best advantage the natural pow
ers of body and mind given by your Crea-
tor?-or are you droning through life in
half efforts, and steadily drifting behind
men of less ability than yourself; men who,
with even fewer talents than you possess,
are making the best of themselves.
Think of this. Put the question to your
self as we put it to you-and do it honestly.
Look the matter right in the face. Are you
making the best of yourself? If not, begin
a new life at once. Do your best in every
thing. In your thinking and in your doing.
BE man in self ccmpulsion. Rise out of
Incidence and selfindulgence. And not
