The REPUBLICANS in Cuba are loyal, if their
own words may be trusted. They fear the
restoration Of royalty in Spain They address
words of warning to Captain General Pleltain
and offer their services against the ''conserva-
tives," who are called "the enemies Of the
Republic" It might be we'll if the so-oalled
republicans of Cuba thought more of Cuba
and less of Snain.

From MAINE TO VIRGINIA the telegraph brings
Us the intelligence of the wholesale destruction
of property and the same unvarying account
of the inefaciency of fire departments in
great emergencies. This Summer bids fair to
rival its predecessors in the number and ex-
tent of fires in various parts of the country.
We hear great deal at times about blocks of
magnificent buildings being erected in cities,
all of them, of course, being freproof. When
q confagraton occurs these freproof struc-
lures seem to burn as readily as farmhouse
or barn. Again, on those occasions there is
generally an unaccountable scarcity of water
and lack of discipline on the part of the
fremen. When will business people pay at
tention to these plain facts and thus avert
what now appear to be the necessary cdncomi-
tants of long and dry Summer

The BROOKLYN TRUST COMPANY, through
the receiver, makes statement of the assets
and liabilities of the concern, by which it
appears that the act Of suspension was not
caused by immediate pecuniary embarrass-
ment The statement gives a surplus of over
one hundred thousand dollars above all La
bilities. There will be q meeting of the stock
holders on Monday, when some satisfactory
conclusion may be arrived ct and the company
may be once more set in running order.

There is q pleasure In the painless woods,
There Is rapture on the lonely shore;
There Is society where none intrudes,
BY the deep sea, and music In its roar.

need sea voyage. But the paramount reason
for this general exodus Of our fashionable
world is that it is the fashion. This season.
moreover, business inducements, the general
peace of Europe, the Vienna Exposition, the
Shah Of Persia and the reviving destinations
of Paris have made the trip to the other side
more the fashion with our people than ever be-
fore. At any rate, from twenty to thirty mill
lions of American money for 1873 will have
been expended by our travellers in Europe at
the end of this Summer, which would be saved
to our Summer watering places were there no
transatlantic steamers.
We are thus confronted with the embarrass-
ing inquiry of the old Tammany Ring,
"What are you going to do about it?" We
must make our Summer resorts more attrac-
tive. They need many reforms. Hotel keepers
should provide more for the substantial COM
forts of their guests and expend less upon
wasteful glitter and extravagances Their
general charges should be reduced, and at
least their most glaring and offensive Incl
dental extortions should be abolished. Our
railway and steamboat kings should organize
system Of Summer excursions, cheap and
attractive, from our great cities to oil the
enjoyable scenes and wonders of our grand,
glorious and beautiful country. In these
enterprises there are mines Of gold richer than
the richest of California, in properly develop
ing which our railway, steamboat and Sum-
mer hotel managers will be amply rewarded.
The proof is in profits of the cheap excursions
adopted TO Long Branch or the Fishing
Banks and in the occasional experiments to

AN AMERICAN MULATTo LAsHRD WITH CARO-
NINE-TAILs By A BRITISH SOLDIER.
From the Wslland (0nt.) Tribune.
Welland jail on Monday morning last witness
cd, for the first time we believe an exhibition of
the power OF the cat.O-nine-tails as o moral sua-
sive agent The victim In this case was one Will
liam Armstrong, mulatto. His age IL set down
in the Jail register as thlrtythree, but he looks at
least ten years older. He says he used TO live in
Montreal, but he came from the States here. One
Of his legs Is OF wood, having LEFT the original
away down In the Shenandoah Valley while fight
ing the battles Of Uncle Sam. The offence by
which he became eligible to illustrate the reform
ing influence Of the many-tailed cat was that OF
assault upon young girl named SayIer, at farm
house near Fort Erie In December last.
The punishment took place at the early hour of
7:20 q m, In the day room Of the old wing OF the
jail ahd was Witnessed by only the ShefIh the
Jail surgeon and two or three others, and the
prisoners-~all Of whom were summoned to have
the fearful e1nmpie fully impressed upon their
minds. The cat consisted OF nine whip cords
fastened 10 a staff about foot In length. The
lashes were about twenty inches long, and were
scientifically adorned with couple of knots each,
for the more efficient torture oftheir victim. The
instrument appeared light and inefficient, but the
fact that It's knots deeply lndeuted q board, even
when welded by an unaccustomed arm, evidenced
that appearances in its case were deceptive.
The whipping-pOst was the most formidable
featuFe of the affair, ana 1t wss not surprising
that the victim turned pale upon being led to It.
and feaFfuIly inquired If they intended 10 kill
him. II was q stout upright post, with strong
cross-piece. The prisoners arms were stretched
along the horizontal piece, and finally tied; bis
feet--nO, foot, for the wooden pin dehed the man
acle-was iettered, his back barred, and dhagelatiOu
began. -,sr
The executoner claimed to no familiar with
The use of the cat, and from the artistic, regular
emil nnremltting manner In which he laid on thS
stripes, no one need dispute the claim. At th'
eEss cut or two the victim ground his teeth and
teonxnlsiyely pressed his head against the post
/ buf no further expression Of agony escaped him
| The knots on the lash cauae beEweenthe shoulder
every time, and amer the first few strokes th'
neah began TO give way and the blood to stans
out In places where the knots fsll repeatedly, q
lwell as to allghtly crimson the lash.
Il After the tWeniy-ive lanhea had been duly ad
Imlniatered The pEaoner waa united and laid dow
II and his laceraAlona washed with aalk and waite
and aflerwaTd with oil. He stood Tho punlshmcn
