respect for the law of nations, she has
scrupulously preserved her neutrality /;
but the moment has now arrived whep,
without infringing upon the laws of
nations, or danger of bringing down
upon her the wrath ofjealous European
powers, she can interfere In the behalf
of the oppressed and outraged Cubans,
and aid them in their so far glorious
fight for liberty; and if the General
Government decide thus to act, she
will without doubt, be supported by
the majority of the lovers of freedom
in America.
We do not believe in plunging the
nation into long and bloody war to
avenge small or imaginary evils but
we do think that every government is
Ia duty bound to protect its own
citizens, and if it should in anywise
fail in doing this, so far will it come
short of the grand object for which it
was framed. Hence, if upon due
investigation..it should prove true sthat
any of our citizens have been watonly
butchered by the lnhuman authorities
Of Spain, We do hope that our govern
ment will exhibit pluck and nerve
sufficient to demand of Spain all the
reparation in her power for TIE insults
and indigniues thus openly and

Yesterday morning we gave an ac>
cunt OF the arrest of William Clark and
wife, charged with selling liquor
without the required license. When
arrested they gave bail for their ap-
pearance before the Police Court In the
sum OF $50 When the case was
called yesterday morning the defend
ants could not be found and the bonds
were forfeited, the surities paying the
amount. As it became known that the
parties had lett the city, the baker, the
butcher and other tradesmen might
have been seen about the saloon lately
occupied by Clark and wife endeavor>

left behind, what they were worth, and
what the chances were for securing
their pay thereform. 1t was found
however, that the effects were not
worth much and ar all mortgaged so

We were informed last evening that

Lynch, more famiiarly know as
"Scotty." He stepped ON to the ferry

the influence OF liqaor, ind when about
thirty yards from the East Portland

to catch him before he went under. but

They sat in the sun together
Till the day was almost done;
And then, at it's close, an angel
Stepped over the threshold stone.
He folded their hands together,
He touched their eyelids with balm,
And their last breath fiOated upward
Like the close OF solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they trayersed
The unseen mystical road,
That leads to the beautiful city
Whose Builder and Maker is God.
Perhaps, in that miracle country,
They will give her lost outh back,
And the flowers Of a vanished spring time
Shall bloom in the spirits track.
One dranght Of the living waters
Shall restore his manhood's prime,
Aud eternal years shall measure
The love that Outliyes time.
Bw the shapes they left behind them,
The wrinkles and silver hair
Made ga red to us by kisses
The angel imprinted there
Well hide away in the meadow,
When the sun is low in the West,
Where the mOonbeams cannot find them,
Nor the wind disturb their rest.
But wen let no tell-tale tombstone,
With its age and date, arise
Ger the two who are old no lJnger
In their Fathers house in the skies.
