Indecent Literature.

A decided step has been re-
Gently taken in London for the
protection of Innocent and sus-
ceptible youth from perilous
contamination, to which they
are Increasingly exposed, An
indictment containing twenty
one counts was produced
against one publisher of a
newspaper which was largely
sold not only in England, bat
in this country. The case was
tried at one Of the criminal
courts in London. BY advice
of counsel the defendent plead
ed guilty. He was condemned
to pay a heavy fine, and further
sentence was reserved, to be
based upon the future course
of the paper.
The counsel for the prosecu-
ton stated that numerous COM
plants have come from influen-
tial gentlemen of the baneful
effects upon boys of the public
exposure of the paper in shop
windows, and showed that thus
they were more dangerous and
corrupting than the vile books
and pictures, which, on account
of the risk of prosecution, could
only be procured with the ut
most secresy. They conten-
ded that history taught nc
Surer lesson than that the sure
preliminary TO the downfall OF
a nation was the general indul,
gence in lust and sensuality
The Judge, in pronouncing sen,
tence, said that every right
minded person must regret tC
see such papers publically cir
culated, and that it was a scan
dial to the age that boys solo
them in the streets. He
thanked the Society for taking
upon itself the duty of prose
cutting the offenders.
The principal grounds fo3
justitying the publication taker
by the counsel for defence, who
admitted that it was properly
the subject for indictment
was that the pictures were less
immoral than public exhibi,
tons in the theatres, and thu
Publishers only wished Il
amuse the public! The Wise
Man of old aptly photographed
their plea when he said,
Gas a mailman who eastetI
firebrands, arrows and death
so is the man who deceived
his neighbor, and saith, Am
not in sport 7''- American

SAN DOMNGO.-Mr. G. c.
Fulton. prints an editorial in
the Baltimore American enti-
tied Now for San Domingo"
After declaring that both polit-
zeal parties in Maryland are in
favor Of annexation, he calls
upon the two Republican Rep
resentatives which the State
has just elected to Con-
greSs to be ready to take the
initiative in giving expression
to the popular demand. Mr..
Fulton says no time should now
be lost in bringing the matter
before Congress. In this con-
nectiOn, it is now believed here
in Washington that those who
are anxious to secure annexa-
ton are looking to- its accom-
plishment through direct action
in Congress. The President it
is thought, will adhere to the
terms of his message. in which
he announced that he should
leave the matter in the hands
of the people, and that the next
move would be.made TO revive
the whole subject by a joint
resolution.

4 Beautiful Incident.

mails in distress. About a
year ago a dog was set upon !
by a crowd of cruel boys, and |
pelted with sticks and stones. |
The poor dog lad given no
offence, but this mattered not. |
He tried to escape from his
tormentorS, and had nearly
succeeded in doing so when a
stone hurled with great vio-
lence struck him Oh the fore
leg, bruising the flesh and
frarturing the bone. The an
imaf howled piteously, but
none Of his prosecutors went
to his relief. Having injured
him, they. turned carelessly
and colby away, and left him
to his fate. The dog limped
into the stable of Mr.. Edward
Fitzpatrick, moaning piteously.
In one of the stalls of the
stable was a well-bred young
horse of more than ordinary
intelligence. The distress of
the deg seemed to move the
heart of the horse to, pity
He bent his head, carreSSed
tie canine, and inspected the
broken leg: Then with his
fore feet he pushed some clean
straw into one corner Of his
stall and made a soft bed on
which the dog was induced to
lay himself down. 4 close
and affectionate intimacy was
at once established between
the horse and dog. The horse
was being largely fed on bran
mash, and one day when re-
ceiving his feed, thinking the
} dog might be hungry, the
equine bowed his head, caught
the canine by the skin of the
neck, and with his teeth lifted
: him into the trough or box
, The dog fell to with a hearty
: will, which showed that his
hunger was great, and that his
gratitude was equal to his APP
: petite. Days and weeks pass
ed, and the dog and horse con-
tinued firm friends. The bran
mash fed them both, and the
invalid grew strong and fat on
l the wholesome diet. At night
the two animals thus strange
; ly brought together slept in
the most loving manner. The
horse would arrange a soft bed
{ for the dog, and then lay down
and tenderly encircle the ca,
nine form with one of his fore
. legs. 1t is seldom that such
: a beautiful and authentic Incl.
dent is brought to our notice
The horse showed for the un.
fortunate more of that feeling
which we term humanity THAI
than did the dozen lusty
youths, who were presumed tt
walk in the image of their God
Nay, it took the poor victim o
mans persecution to its hear
and home, and tenderly nurseC
r the same back to strength anC
health.

The sympathizers with the insur-
gent Cabans who are struggling to
throw off the yoke Of Spain are
greatly excited in New York and at
Washington over the execution by
the Spanish authorities at Havana
of General Ryan and three Cuban
patriots, who where recently cap
TIRED on board the United States
steamer Virgihius. If, as is alleged,
the steamer was sailing under the
United States flag at the time of
her capture, it is not improbable
that our Government will call Spain
to account for what is evidently an
outrage.
Two expeditions against Spain
are enrolling in New York, which
are claimed to number already 1000
aud 5000 respectively, the former
being composed of American sym
pathizers, and the latter Of Cubans
the object being to revenge the
death of Ryan and his associates
The sum Of $4,000 has been raised
in that city to defray the cost Of re-
taliation mass meetings are to be
held to renew the agitation for a
recognition Of Cuban independence
by our Government, and altogether
the Cuban cause has received a new
and powerful impulse from the eru-
city of the Spanish authorities
Before the United States Gov
ernment can decide what action to
take, if any is to be taken, with re-
gard to the capture Of the Nirgini-
us and the execution Of the passen-
gers, it must know authoritativcly
all the facts of the case. Minister
Sicllcs, at Madrid and United
States Consul-Gicneral Hall, ut Ha-
vana, have been directed by the
State Department to forward a full
account of the affair, but there Is
some delay in doing this, owing to
arrangement of the telegraph be-
tween Santiago de Cuba and lla-
yana. One of the vessels Of the
North Atlantic squadron is to re-
pair at once, under the orders a.

FREE EXCHANGES FORTHE Press.
Among the grave errors OF the
late Congress was the repeal OF the
free carriage Of newspapers to reg
lilar subscribers within the bound
aries Of the county, and the repeal
Of the free delivery of exchange
papers. The local press is the bull
warl Of Republican institutions,
and especially the champion of the
Republican party. If any interest
in our entire land is deserving of
especial protection it is this, The
late enactment was bounty for the
city press, and III the interest Of gi-
gantic publishing monopohcs,. The
carriage of u journal like the Mde-
3cndcm from New York tuSau Fran
cisco thirteen times for five cents is
Il large bounty to that journal The
local press having very little gorcr-
al circulation, it can reap only to o
limited extent the advantage of this
cheap transportation to long dis
tanccs, Therefore it should not hc
taxed the same rate for the service
of cerrying it inside OF m average
Of twenty miles, No additional cX-
pensc for carriage has ever been
caused, and We hope that at al early
day this relief will be given.
