To nav at once her backward coin of rent;
For he, cursed by the wealth. that should have
Forgot that he, too, in tenement

More than the widow, lived in poverty. ~
Though. by the poorest, gold has been obtained,
For Gods sweet love no yellow price will pay,
Blind to the peaceful joy he might have gained,
The craven landlord, on q winters day,
That, pierced with cold and wind-thrust icy
Drove forth the widow to the roofess street. g
To charm away her grief; yet, in his heart,

Whitened and ceased. ghe Widows son be-
A truthful painter, in whose life's bright cup
The world dissolved the tasteless pearl of fame.
Then, with his brush, which spoke in every hue,
The accusing picture in his heart he drew.
Near by the landlords home the painting hung,
AS at his threshold in public place,
To view it came the town S folk, old and young,
And said, ''This is the landlords ruthless

And this the cruel deed that he has done

Guilt is no fettered slave; it ever speaks,
And of its troubled owner, scorns the part.

Flamed with the guilty watch-fres of his heart.
In vain he brought temptations, coined and vast,
To lay the brush-raised spectre of his past.

Probably the largest sale of cattle on
record was that of the herd of short
horned cattle owned by Samuel Campbell,
of New York Mills, Oneida county, N. Y,
which were sold at auction Sept. 10. Buy
eis were present from England, Canada
and all parts of the United States. One
hundred and fifteen cattle We're disposed
of, the total receipts being about $3.50, 900.
The highest figure paid was $40,600. This
bid was made by Mr. P. Davis, of Glouees-
tershire, England; 5000, $4,000 and
$40, 900 were bid for single cows. One
seven-months-old cali, sold for $4,000, and
another for $4,000. =
Additional complaints have been received
in Washington of thieving incursions over
the Mexican border in which the maurau-
ders succeeded in driving off many head of
cattle. 1t is also reported that several
murders have been committed by these
desperadoes. The attention of Congress
will be called to these outrages, and the
Government will doubtless adopt some
measures to put an end to them. q aa

shown, as our newspapers and our dema-
gogucs have been trying to show, that this
vessel, i'm the interest of the insurgents,
and nobody denies that she was in their in
tereSt-was proyisioned, armed and manned
at one of our ports. with the knowledge,
yea, with the tacit consent Of our govern
ment officials, if She embarked upon this
warikc enterprise without their hindrancc
but rather with their conniyance, then the
United States is guilty Of a breach of inter
national law for which she ought to make
the humblcst apology.
5uch however, Is not the opinion Of the
metropolitan dailies, which have been seek
ing to form the "war sentiment They,
with the New York XauH in their van,
for while poured forth at every issue pro-
found IDEAS upon the subject of inter
national law. evolved from the inner con-
scousncss of the precocious youth who
writes their editorials. According to them
it is this nations privilege, since the Cubans
are not recognized belligercnts, to supply
them not only with the ncccssarics Of life,
but with arms, ammunition and troops,
which every one is willing TO admit are
cOntraband Of war.
1t is just here in the phrase, 'contraband
of war; that the newspapers and dema-
gogues aforesaid make their finest point.
These nice stickcrs for the technical set
up the prelcnce that because there has been
no declaration of war the can be nothing
contraband, because" they say, Spain
does not acknowledge the belligerency of
her colony let her take there chances of
quelling an Instruction which may be aid
ed by the United States and whatever other
nation chooses to take hand, let her, more
over, in the pursuit of this undertaking not
venture beyond marine league Of her
colonial territory lest she became a yiolatcr
of international law
Such is the theory of the leading metro
politan dailies, theory emincntly worthy
of the inspired precocity wi ch originates
it, It's statement is ITS rcfutation. 70 say
that a nation must declare war against its
subjects in order to have the right of con-
trolling them IS moderately absurd. To
say that country must be actually en-
gagged in war in order to have the right of
pursuing foreign vessel which has landed
hostile troops upon its territory is simply
false. LUDovICrs.

In the discussion Of the "Nrgnius' at

pains has been taken to show that the
Nrgnius was an American vessel, lc-
gally registeredEand cleared at an American
port; as. lift were desirable to prove that this
tilibustering expedition against II friendly
powergwas undertaken not by Il horde of
reckless adventures, but by the United
States itself This is the point of fact on
which all sympathizers with the Cuban IN
smrection, individuals as well rs news
papers, lay particular stress 1t lis by them
regarded as the cardinal point of the dis
cussion-the sine qua nan of their argu-
mcnt
1t seems strange that so soon after the
punishment of Great Britain for the depra-
dations of the Alabama men and newspa-
pers of the United States should be eagerly
claiming that their Government had com
mitied the very same crime. For it is to
this that their argument surely comes.
IT is idle to pretend that, because Spain
has not recognized the belligerency of
Cuba, therefore other nations are at liberty
to assist the insurgents to whatever extent
their sympaihizers or their agents may sug-
gcst.
If Spain is not at war, then our relations
toward her are not those of neutral but
those Of friend. So far from being al
lowed to entertain the insurgents of a
friendly nation, to afford them shelter,
points of attack, and places of refuge, CAS-
has been donc), our Government is obliged
not only by treaty and the general spirit OF
international flaw, but by its own munich
pal laws to he at least not hostile to {
