WHEN q woman has a hen to diveip,o

WHEN O woman has hen TO drive into
the coop she takes hold Of her hoops with
both hands, and shakes them uuietlV
toward the delinquent and saws, "SbeW

and then stalks majestically into the coop
in perfect disgust Of the sex. A man don't
do that way He goes out doors and saws,

reason and dashes 70 the opposite end Of
the yard The man straightway dRshes
after her. She comes back again with her
head down, her wings ont, and followed
by an assortment oil stove wood, fruit
cans aud coal clinkeIs, with a much
putting and very mad man In the
rear. Then she skins up on the

fence or two. and around the house, and
back again TO the coop, all the while
talking as only an excited hen can talk,

THE Boston AdOsrtiSsr'S view Of the
consequences OF resumption Of specie
payments Is not a cheerful one. 1t says :
ave have no faith in any cunning devices
to secure the benefits Of contraction with
out tho evils. We believe that specie
payments must be the result Of stern
and bitter fight, Of a life.and.death Strug'
Gle extending over years almost without
tntGrmission. We have no doubt that it
ID the manifest interest ofthe nation to re-
turn TO specie payments at whatever cost;
Vehave as little that such return must
nvolve vast losses and even ruin TO many
individuals and classes"

force in the several Provinces, relating
to the representation of the people in
Parliament, is to be submitted. A
measure providing for the construction
of the Pacifi3 Railway is also to be sub
mitted. Parliament will be asked to vote
for bill providing for additional assist
anee in the Executive, and to take into.
consideration a bill for the establishment
of a general Court of Appeal. Meas
ures relating to their navigable waters
and to the inspection laws, and bill for
Dominion Board of Agriculture, are
also promised. The law relating to in
solvency will likewise be considered,
and Parliament will be asked to aid IN
encouraging immigration. The esti-
mates will be submitted, and vote of
supply asked for. From this outline it
will be seen that a good deal of work is
laid out for the session, which is likely
to be somewhat lengthy one, unless the
Government gets suddenly tripped up
which, from present appearances, is a
highly improbable event. Government
supporters at the Capital count on ma
iority of between 20 and 30 on test
vote. A dispatch from the Imperial
Government, approving the Governor
Generals course in proroguing the
House on the 18th of August, and APP
pointing a Royal Commission, was re-
ceived at Ottawa few days ago. The
effect of this dispatch is to strengthen
confidence in the Government. There
can hardly be any question now as to
the constituttoaa5itg of Lord Dufferin's
course, whatever may be thought of the
prop-iety of pursuing the course he saw
fit to take. .,t-,-t -,-.e
The election of the notorious LouisRiel

the Government has to great extent
given way to conjecture as to what is to
be done with Riel 1t seems hardly rea-
sonable to suppose that he will attempt
to take his seat, considering that war
rant for his arrest has been issued in
Manitoba This warrant will hold good
in any part of the Dominion, and he is
liable to arrest wherever found.
We earnestly hope that the members
of the Canadian Parliament win cast
politics aside and unite upon a course of
action in regard to Riel which, while
maintaining the dignity of the House,
will not give offense to the people whose
constituency Riel has been elected to re-
present in the Legislative Assembly of

BEAUTIFUL CUBA.

The struggling Cubans are yet ham
mering away at the Spanish troops of
the "ever-faithful isle" for independence
and separate government, while the
Spaniards at home are fighting to main
tain a republic one and indivisible.
The energy and perseverance that the
Cuban patriots have exhibited in their
efforts to establish their freedom and
rights, is most eommendable and de-
serving of reward. They have struggled
on through hardships and sufferings,
reverses and disasters-struggled on,
sometimes victorious and sometimes de-
feated in their engagements with the
enemy, till to-day they are apparently
as unconquered and unconquerable as
they were when they first kindled the
fires of their revolution. Let US hope
and pray that beautiful Cuba will MAN.
tain her rights, and take her position
among the republics of the earth. When
the Cubans first asserted their rights and
announced their determination to fight
for their freedom, every true-minded
american citizen, thanked God that an.
other star had arisen above the horizon
of European despotism, ana earnestly
hoped and prayed that the Spanish yoke
would be thrown off from the nec&s of
the inhabitants of the beautiful isle of
the sea-" Although the strict principles
OF international jurisprudence prevented
any active interference On the part of
our government in the then pending con-
fiict between lihefty and despotism, still
the sympathies of the people at large
were wholly on the side of the Cubans
and opposed to the Spaniards.
The conflict has been carried on for
long weary years; the Cubans are sp-
parently as unsubjugated as at the com
mencement Of their struggle. And now
the question is again presented to our
administration as tc whether the time
has or has not come for just and law
full recognition of their rights, Yes, it
seems as though they had gained all the
rights of belligerents. Balligerency is
A'"' " ~ "'SspSo, bSIoidlDE w Iub6IudkEOH-
al law; it is fact, Hence belligsrency
entire must, as a general thing, be found
to exist, by such proof as the facts of
the existence of proper form of gov
eminent, of prize courts, OF seaports,
and of navy; also, there are other cir
cumstances which should accord to q
struggling people the rights of belliger-
ency, such as the length of time of the
conflict, the existing state of affairs, and
the justice and righteous demands of
their cause. The Cubans have struggled
long and manfully for their independ-
ence; they have apparently an estab-
lished and well-constituted form of gov
eminent their chances for success are
better and stronger than ever the Span
ish government has proved its inability
to subjugate them their cause is a just
one, and they deserve to win. There
fore we hope to see at the next session
of Congress a full and just recognition
of their rights, and we hope the moral
influence and support of the government
will be thrown into the scale in favor of
the Cubans in their struggle for indie
pendence and the rights of freemen.
