Stepping 4 Nasal HemOrrhaxe.
From the Indiauapolio Herald

In the early part OF the week We saw
Dr.. Wright operate on South street
patient for nose bleed, which was seri
ously threatening fatal termination,
despite the restraining influences of
yarn strings tied around his fingers
and cobwebs administered by old wo-
men. The doctor took a hollow,
crooked thing, with brass wire inside
OF it, and passed it up the patient 8
nose and down into his mouth. He
then withdrew the cathcter, and tied a
string to the end of the wire in the
patients mouth. On the end of the
string he tied a plug of raw cotton
saturated with sulphate of iron. Then
he drew the wire out, brought the
string up the patients nose until the
cotton plug was in the right place,
when he tied another plug to the othe r
end of the string in the mans nostril,
to mako it tight and secure. Then the
eftusion of blood was stopped, and the
funeral postponed.

CUBA AND CASTELAR,.

The Spanish President Anxious to be
Kid Of the troublesome Qucc n OF the
Antlllcs--SmprObsbl Kumors.
Washington Dispatch to tho New York Graphic.
Among the many rumOrs fitting
about respecting the imbroglio with
Spain, is one that is remarkably curl
Gus, and yet so we'll substantiated that
am compelled to- send it to you. 1t
is to the effect that President CASTELAR,
and Gen, Sickles had already agreed
upon plan to practically render Cuba
independent, and that the Virginius
affair comes very opportunely to pre-
cipltate the execution of their joint
programme. President CASTELAR,, as
you know, is an ardent anti slavery
man. He is also really anxious to be
rid of Cuba, which, with all it's showy
Importance as "Queen of the An
TILES" is, in fact, burden and
a source OF weakness to Spain. It is
the slave holding power in Cuba which
practically de6es Spain-which carries
on the war in 80 brutal manner,
which embroils the mother country
against the latter's will. Senor Castel-
lar believes, not without good reason,
that much of the money employed in
supporting the Carlists in their armed
attacks upon the Madrid government
comes directly from the Cuban slave
holders. But of course, as a Spaniard,
CASTELAR, dare not openly surrender
Cuba. It would upset his own govern.
ment and seriously injure the republi
can cause in Europe. But he is not
unwilling that the United States should
seize Cuba, provided it will abolish
slavery, and thus finally suppress
and forever discourage the bloodthirsty
old Castilian shareholders who have so
shamefully abused the island, and to
whom the atrocities of the present war
should be credited. It now leaks out
that the navy has been gradually get
ting ready for some move of this kind,
and It is believed here that when the
American fleet is reinforced in Cuban
waters it will find no enemy in the
Spanish war vessels, but that these lat
ter will be prepared to co act with our
naval authorities in taking absolute
possession of the whole sea. coast as .
war measure, proclaiming universal
slave emancipation and establishing
an American protectorate. This would
be satisfaction to our injured honor,
and could be easily MAJ. tained until
Cuba was in o condition to declare
hrrself an Independent State or join
our Union-whichever she preferred.

Seizure OF Presents Designed for King.

According to the French papers a
diplomatic difficulty has arisen between
their government and the Khedive.
Some months ago Marshal MeMahon
received from the King of Abyssinia a
number of valuable presents consisting
of skins, ivory, etc. Wishing to recip-
rocate the attention, the Marshal for
warded by way of Alexandria five boxes
addressed to King John I. These
boxes contained arms, trinkets, and
other Parisisn articles, and were all
stamped on the lock with the seal of
France. But the Egyptian authorities
nevertheless stopped the boxes, tore
off the seals, and confiscated their con.
tents. The French Charge d'Ahairs
has naturally protested against this
outrage. and threatens to haul down
his flag unless full satisfaction is Of
fered.

How she Began.

The first idea to become an histOri-
cal romanclst was suggested to Louise
Muhlbach by the perusal of manual
of German history, which she lad
bought for her little daughter Theo-;
dora. "What a dull book that is 7"
she exclaimed. "And how attractive
history could be made for children -
She went to work at orce, and. wrote
for her child settles of tales, embrac-
ing the most memorable events in the
history of Prussia. These tales were
read by some of her literary friends,
and they urged the authoress to write
a series of novels of the same descrip.
tion for grown people. At first the
idea almost frightened her; but she
prepared vaiiantly for the arduous
task. and soon ber busy pen began
to evolve those vivid historical ro-
mances which instruct the reader as
much as they amuse him, and which,
it may Justly be said, have done more
to popularize the history of Germany
during the last two centuries than all
the dry and dull historical mammals
written by learned professors. At the
same time they re.kindled among the
Germans that spirit of nationality:
which had almost became extinct, and
perhaps the success of the Prussian
policy since 1867, in the Regeneration
and uni6cation Of the Fatherland, may,
in part, be due to the deep impression
which the Muhlbach novels had made
upon millions of readers, whom no
more serious class of literature was able
to reach.

Coming Home.

In our school days we used to come
home for our holidays; in ripper years
we come home when they are over
Yet it is, after all, a question whether
we do not enjoy the return to the do
nestle roof as much IN the latter case
as we did in the former. A great part
of the pleasure of going away un-
doubtedly lies in the anticipation of
getting back again to our old haunts
and habits. We take our holidays as
a kind of annual bitters, to give Us
appetites for our ordinary modes of
life; and perhaps there is no morn
ing during our absence 50 thoroughly
welcome to us as that of the day on
which we set out for town once more.
Everything at home has acquired
some fresh charm during our absence.
The servants, though they do not be-
long to a particularly grateful race,
are glad to see us back again. The

tired of before we left have now 4

A specimen Of spanish Cruelty.

A most touching instance of heroism,
and one of the most atrocious acts of
cruelty, the truth of which is vouched
for by the most respectable authority,
occurred during the Columbia struggle
for independence.
The Spanish General Molillo, the
most blood-thirsty and treacherous tool
of the Spanish King, was created
Count of Cartagena and Marquis de la
Pueria for services which rather entitle
him to the butcher or hangman.
While seated in bis tent one day, he
saw young boy before. him drowned
in tears. The chief demanded OF him
for what purpose he was there.
The child replied that he had come
to beg the life of his father, then a
prisoner in Morillo's camp.
"What can you do to save your faith
er?" asked the General.
"I can do but little, but what can
shall be DONE"
Moril]o seized the little fellows car,
and said:
"Would you suffer your ear to
be taken off to procure your fathers
hfel" - " y =, ~. *,,:s~
''I certainly would,s was the un-
daunted reply.
. The boy wept, but did not resist
while the barbarous order was exc
cuted.
"Would you lose your other ear
rather than fail of your purpose2' was
The next question.
"I have suffered much, but for my
father 1 can suffer st,ll,'' was the answer
of the boy. I'd
The other ear was taken off piece
meal, without finching ON the part Of
the noble boy.
"And now go!" exclaimed Morillo,
untouched by his sublime courage;
"the father of such q son must die. "
In the presence Of his agonized and
vainly-sufferlng son, the patriot father
was executed. .
Never did life picture exhibit such
truthful lights and shades in national
character; such deep, treachercus viii
