How much better was that shooting of
prisoners of war, charged with no crime,
than the shooting of Candy and Thomas,
which was no greater violation of the
laws of war? Yet no steps are taken to
punish these murderers. Shall they go
free and the others be hanged? After this
massacre If Gen Davis should string up
ten Modocs, as he proposed, to warn other
tribes, it would fail of any effect except to
justly intensity the bitter feeling of the
white mans injustice, and instead of wear
ing the appearance of an execution, it will
be classified by the Indians as another mas
sacrc for vengeance. Will the United
States government presume, in the face of
a civilized world, to turn captured Modocs
over to death at the hands of military or
civil tribunal, without making even pre-
tense of an attempt to capture and punish
the assassins of the Modoc prisoners of
war!

Brick walls are springing up in every
part of the burnt district" and some of
the new stores are now occupied. Bust
ness is dull of course, as where indeed is it
not? People are fiocking out of town, and
there is an uncommonly large quota en-
barking by every steamer for Europe
Still the streets are often thronged and the
club" revOlves just as of old.
New York is little suspicious that Bos-
ton has been playing sly game; giving
her credit for foresight in planning the
through connection by rail to Halifax, thus
shortening the trip to Europe to six days.
Moreover there is the Portland and Ogdens-
burg road, soon to be finished, which bids
fair to be an artery through which the
riches of the great west shall, many of
them, find their way to the sea. board. The
Grand Trunk railroad has awaked at last,
and great reforms are projected in that di-
rectiOn, and so on.
The allopaths and homGopaths of this
section had a tilt lately ; some members of
the medical society of Massachusetts, hav-
ing come down upon the latter for NAL
practice or something of the sort. The
homGopaths came off, however, with fly
ing colors, and though they were quite so
licitous that the proceedings of the court
should he published, their assailants would
not consent. The action of those members
of the medical society who began the suit,
was very much reprehendcd by their con-
freres.
The farmers are predicting light hay crops,

in the cloudy sky and the easterly wind.

Excitement In spain.

The session of the gortes Sunday night,
was one of the stOrmiest on record. Owing
TO the confusion which prevailed in the
chamber, the closing of the doors part of
the time, by which reporters were exclud-
ed, and the late hour of adjournment, the
morning papers were unable to obtain COM
plete or correct reports of the proceedings,
and. in consequence, many false rumors
obtained currency. The statement among
Others that the ministry proposed by Senior
Pi y Margall was approved, is incorrect.
The House finally rejected his ministry, and
called upon Senior Fgueras to resume the
conduct of the government, with his old
cabinet. The following is an accurate re-
STUNT of the sitting The Cortes, after
passing resolution proclaiming the re-

THE VILLAGE MEETING.

The village meeting yesterday refused to
vote any tax to carry on the village gov
eminent. and another meeting is called for
Saturday week to reconsider the NATTER
Part of that refusal was due to the anger
excited in the minds of citizens who found
themselves denounced as misers, incendia-
res and thieves by member of the board
of trustees, who stood by and unprotesting-
" saw $4,000 engulphed in worthless
sewer. Such language came with special
i'll grace from such quarter, though al
ways in wretched taste in arguing qucs-
tons of public finance. Men are not ustl-
ally driven to change their course by in
temperate, abusive language.
While the GLOBE pays ut least as much
taxes as any other paper in the village, il
has been ready to pay as high Il tax as any;
yet it has not thought fit to abuse like pick.
pockets people with different opinions. II
has thought proper to suggest that the
facts. figures and reasons be laid before the
people leaving them to vote as in thciI
have n tax voted to pay current expenses,
we hope some advance will be made to-
wards that contamination by the substitu-
ton of facts and arguments for ribaldry
and hard names. Between now and the
next meeting is good time to introduce
that much needed reform.
The men who yesterday at . o'clock
dropped their work at the railroad shops
and stepped over to the village hall, did not
look like incendiaries or thieves. They re-
scented the attempt to rule them out of theil
right of suffrage by fixing the time of meet
ing at an unusual hour, announcement and
expensive to them Having shown theil
power and made a manly stand for the dig
nifty and the rights of honorable and hon.
est labor. they will, perhaps, at the next
meeting vote the % cents asked by the
trustees Something like this was thought
to have been intimated by one of their
number who was at yesterdays meeting. Or
the meetingmay choose to vote 20 cents. 1t
will be as it chooses. But certainly every
man has right to his opinion, and should
not be sneered at for regarding his interest,
because of its smallness. A mans taxes
may bear hard on him, though they may
not exceed three or four dollars. If the
amount is small his means are proportion
ately limited The attempt to bully him
ont of showing himself on the negative side
at village meeting is simply shameful.

heartless abuse of Mansfield Waworth to

read "Wc make great mistake, when we

is 1t a mistake for a wife to trust her hap

come as one flesh. to forever fulfill those
most sacred VOWS which before God they
have promised to do? When the husband
treats her in such british manner, till at
last she is compelled to leave him to escape
personal violence, and dare not live with
him again, and frees herself from bonds
more irksome than iron letters, then he il
not contented but hunts and persccutes

to love and cherish. And the son, having

Fair Alberta, child Of love!
So we sang the dark eyes beaming,
Thrilling all the days with pride,
In our gladness never dreaming
Angels walked so close beside.
Low they whispered, "Sweet Alberta !"
Strong we clasped thee but In vain,
For the pearl-gates slowly opening
Left our spirits filled with pain.
And we saw our winsome baby
Mid the tears that filled the hours.
Laid to rest In dreamless slumber,
Low ami d the garden flowers.
Oh, we miss the precious birding
That hath scared away from sight,
Though blithe voices waken music
Round our hOme-nest day and night.
In our grading arms, Alberta,
Thy sweet head no more may lie,
But thy sweet voice cleaves the sunshine
Throned within the bending sky.
Sweetly calling from earth's duty
To fair Eternal shore,
Where Wen clasp thee, child OF beauty,
Claim thee ours, forever more.
