Possibility of War.

0pr Washington advices this morning
,,e 10 the effect that the most important
Cabinet meeting thathas been held BY the
Drpsept administration took place yester'
5sy The esubjec matter oft was Of course
,becsp,urc Of the yirginius and the shoot
;ogot her crew In such a summary way,
without aftordiug an opportunity 10 the
cso,lycs to make any defence OF them
selves.
At Now York some stress seems to be
I.ld on tho possibility of difficulty with
sosin, iuasmuch as gold went up above
loOsgain. No wonder that this should be
the case, considering tho tone OF the New
York papers, which is warlike.
Spain herself Is, Of course, anxious to do
anything and everything to prevent war.
For that matter she will go down on her
knees slmost, If required, 10 order to avoid
difficulty. She has difficulty enough on
hand without incurring anything further
in that line. She has On insurrection at
home and another in Cuba, and her finan.
clsI and military strength Is far spent In
deed. 30 far, in fact, that one blow from
,be United States would settle matters in
Cubs and wrest that Island from her pos
session.
Notwithstanding the news this morning
we do not conclude that the Government
will be drawn into an actual armed collis-
ion with Spain. But 1t is quite possible
,h., very decided action on the part Of
spsiu towards her Cuban "Volunteers"
will be demanded aud obtained. We may
compel her to lnilict summary punishment
ou the parties responsible for the massacre
OF the virginius crew. When she does
this, as no doubt she will Il we demand
II, what more can we do to exact repara.
,ony What more ought we to do3 No
duub. some people think he ought to
wade In and take Cuba and annexit. A
sorry, expensive and never ending job
that would be: We have dlscordant ele.
ments enough Of our own to deal with
without annexing that moDgrel hot bed
Ol sedition, . .....
As TO the Virginlus crew, no doubt
they were fillibusters and no doubt they
deserved death. But this is not the point.
The points, were they rightiully captured
according to the laws Of nations, or were
they run down, overhauled, captured,
taken on shore and shot in defiance Of the
laws OF nations? 1t Is claimed that they
were thus illegally and wrougfally cap
tured and shot and that no time for a
hearing Of the case was allowed by the
rabld and bloody Spanish Volunteers.
This Is the point that creates the feeling
and excitement that we now see aroused
at New York and Washington, and even
in London.

DIR. REEvRs Address IN New YORK.
We tlni the first days proceedings of
the American Public Health Association
reported quite fully in the New York
Times Of Wednesday,, and among them
the address Of Dr.. JAMES E. REEVES, Of
this city. on the "physical and Moral
causes Of III health in American Women"
His address covers great deal Of ground
and discusses the question in almost all
its aspects, commencing with the infancy
Of girls and continuing on up through
their girlhood to their married relations.
Under this last head he discusses early
marriages, marital excuses, marital
crimes, SO, and in q general way ira
verses the length and breadth Of pretty
much all that hos been written ol late
years on this fruitful theme.
We do not see that the Doctor offers
any new antidotes or specifics on
the Ills Of female lie that he
points out. he agrees with almost
all who have written or spoken on
the same subject that there should be
more attention paid to the physical and
moral training Of girls, and under some
heads o! his address goes into particulars
as to what sort Of attention Is required.
he concludes his remarks with the fol.
lowing quotation:
"They who owe their birth and educs-
cation 10 healthy, well informed, and in
dustrious parents; they who from their
earliest infancy have constantly breathed
apure, fresh, and dry air, and have been
allowed the Tree and natural motion OF
their limbs In dsily exercise; they whose
person and apparel are always observed
strictly clean; whom regard to their dress
observe moderation, order, and simplicity,
and drink nothing but pure water; they
whose habitations are orderly, clean, dry,
and well ventilated; they who have been
accustomed from their youth TO order, as.
siduity, and industry; whose reason and
faith have been fortified and improved by
early instruction and example; and who
have been taught to honor God, love man,
kind, and do Justice to all-they, and they
alone, can enjoy continued health and
hSppinCss, and have q well'grounded
hope Of preserving their mental and
physical powers to the latest period"

at different times by the Governor, and
there has been o bill prepared TO carry

sue. A geological survey for West Vir-
ginia could be obtained OF really Q tritiing

The old State ordered such survey and

the expense had been incurred. The

THE NEGRO REPUBLIC OF HAYTI.
Children the Prepared FOOd--.
Annual Sacrifice 10 the Evil
Spirit

At a recent mission meeting held in
Brooklyn. Bishop Coke, of Western New
York, delivered an address on the condition
of Hayti, in which he made some remarka-
bic statements in regard 10 the population
of the island.
Hayti, the western part of the island has
100000 inhabitants, and st. Domingo, the
eastern part, but 200 0GO. OF the 100000
people in Hayti, Bishop Coke says that but
100000 are nominallv Christians, while 300,
600 are savages and barbarians. For II
miles back of Port au Prince is one unbro-
ken desolation, The mud houses and half
naked savages greeting BishopCoXe every
where made him think he was travelling
with Livingstone in the heart Of Africa.
As to their religion. he says that they wor-
ship the spirit OF evil, not because they love
him, but to propitiate him; that they are
mild and inOtteusiVe, and receive the preach
ers kindly, but merely because they think
that by doing this they will propitiate the
white mans devil. There are even men in
authority who, when they enter the Chris
tan catnedrals, humble their barbarous
prayers to their own evil spirits. Bishop
Coke adds that E'their superstition leads
them to the most horriG rites-the most
fearful orgies. At least once "A year they
make sacrifice TO this evil spirit which
they worship and human life i the sacri-
flee. Between Christmas a d Epiphany
they make this sacrifice, and they prepare
children for it, and they feed upon them

SHADOWS

/ The slantiug rays Of suns. shot
Up from the glowing West,
! And glinted through the tall tree tui~,
And touched the high hills crest:
And long and cool the shadows tel
Back from the swayiug Z eeS:
And gently stole the evening on
With breath from Northern brctgr.
With splasAings here and cooling- there
The river Haunted by;
And through the tall, wild timothy
Young voices floaled nigh;
Then come" said Love, and "come - said
Faith,
"We'll see this sunset glow -
And through the grass, and TO the West
Four doubling FOOTBALLS go.
For Nay" said Fear, and "Nay"' said
Pride
This is but Fancy's whim,'
And, "Scorn and Mirth await my words
And ''WEat mean they to him :"
The red drew back, the gold dropt low,
The sun forsook the dav.
The shadows fell upon heart
Where mirth a-dying lay.
The years fled by like spectral things,
With olden smiles and olden signs,
But not year in all the train
Ere brought the golden skies:
The high hill is but hillock plain.
The river runs in dreary wise,
The shadows long no more are cool
To dulld though youthful eyes.
Yet who shall know, and who shall tell
Who miss'd the truth that day?
And which was right, and which was
wrong,
And which Il lover could say
Though one stands in the bright sunlight.
And one in the shadows cool.
As hearts are hearts, why who can say
What thoughts therein may rule?

1t is impossible for bonnetS or hats to as
sumo lesser proportions while the Spanish
comb continues to be in favor. This comb
has now taken its place in the very centre
| the modern female couture, and seems TO be
| considered Indispensable TO hold up the nu-
merous coques, rouleaux, curls, plaits and
crepes which compose the elaborate edifice
| OF fashionable head dress.
| The diaden comb, is now exchanged for
| the high Spanish or Giraffe comb, which is
| quite OF different shape and is cut into
| thin, transparent leaves. or chisseled into a
| gupicure like penwork pattern. This
comb appeared strange at first but it is
now worn by all ladies of fashion.
We shall, therefore, see this summer
quite different style of toilets from those
of last year. High towering coiffures, hav
ing the neck and shoulders quite degage,
deep Medicis ruffiles and collarrttes, long
princess shaped dresses. draped into a full
tournoure at the back. and scarfs and man
tillas for out-ot-door yestments.
The chaussure should correspond with
the tout ensemble OF the costume. Evening
shoes are made with bows, disposed ac-
cording to the period to which the style of
toilet belongs. 1t is the bow which makes
the shoe look stylish. There is the collar
cite bow. forming Outings of ribbon and
lace TO suit Henry IL. costumes The
Bearnese bow. like a large treble cocarde,
Is made to accompany the Gabrielle dress.
the Bearnese bow is charming-it makes
the foot look small, and gives it an aristO
cratic shape by raising the instep. Fancy
three cocards quilted one or two colors to
match the dress For the Summer very
pretty boots are made Of black gros grains, |
with series of narrow straps buttoned |
over the instep with tiny olive-shaped but |
tons.
For the country and seaside we shall see |
the same model of toile ecru neatly stitched |
and buttoned with small pearl buttons
Slipper and babOuches are to be found to |
match with the robe de chambre, and very
coquettishly trimmed with bows of ribbon
and lace.

particulars:

Seven more bodies have been taken up be-
sides that of DIR. York, with three graves
vet untouched. Six OF these have been
identified. II. Longchos and child. eighteen

finger of his left hand, with the initials of
his name engraved thereon. The body OF
John Geary was identified by his wife fr IN
Howard county, whose terrible grief over
the mutilated remains of her husband was
heart-rending. All had been killed by
blows on the back of the head with a
hammer.
The threats of all had been cut except
that of the little girl. The whole ground
will be dug up to find more graves. The
excitement is increasing hourly. Some
suspected parties will be arrested tonight.
