The cuban InsurTectlon,

by the detailed accounts of the Operations car
rIed into effect by the Cuban forces against The
towns OF Santa Cruz and Manzanlllo we are en-
abled To Judge the increasing strength and daring
Otthe insurgents. In the earlier period of the
war such an event as the attack and sack OF a gar
Tisoned and fortified town was almost unknown.
The smallest spanish gaFFisOns were able TO hold
their own against their inexperienced enemies ;
but now the circumstances are altered, and the
spanish soldier nnds himself unable to cope in
the open field with the men whom a few wears
ago he despised. The temporary occupation OF
towns has enabled the Cuban forces to obtain, not
alone munitions OF war, but such other supplies
~ were most useful TO them. This policy has
paralyzed the Spanish authorities and compelled
them to 30 divide up their forces that they can 40
longer undertake important operations in the
Held. At thls moment the eontending parties
have changed their roles, aud, frsm being hunted
mgitiyes, the Cnbans have assumed an aggressive
attitude, which has already produced The best
results
1t would be difficult TO Overrate the heroisM
aud devotion shown by the insurgents in the
seemingly hopeless struggle they have waSed un-
aided against their Spanish Oppressors. aud we
hope the day Is not far distant when the Ameri-
can government will put itself in accord with
public opinion by adopting a vigorous policy In
dealing with Spain. The barbarous war Of races
must be brought TO an end, and ths can only be
done by the armed intervention OF the United
States, TO which, sooner later we shall be fore
ed to come.-N. Y. Herald.

On Nov. l9, at the sittings in banco OF the Court
OF common Pleas, before Justices Heating Brett
and Grove, the new Lord Chief Justice, Sir John
Coleridge took his scat on the bench.
The DAILY Net0s gives this account OF the csrs-

For some time before the usual hour for COM

tlemen OF the bar and other persens who had cot
70 know that the new Lord Chief Justice was
likely to take his seat upon the bench, and that
the preliminary process of investing him with the
colt would be gone through in open court The
audience were kept waiting, for it was close upon
II o'clock before the Judges took their seats upon

Sir John Coleridge almost at the same time
made MS appearance at tho back of the bar, and
advanced along passage opened ia the centre of

Mr. Justice Keating, as soon as thu counting
was completed, said-BrOther COleridge will Won

Brother CoieTidge accordingly stepped Into the
nont row of the bar, and bowed right aud left
TO the Queens counsel, serieants, and other bar
risters present.
Mr.. Justice KsatiDg then said-Brother Cole
ridge, will you move anything?
Brother COleridge having nothing to "move "
simply bowed to their loFdships, shook hands with
his professional brethren near him, and took his
farewell of the bar
Mr. Justice Heating observed that the court
would adjourn for few minutes in order TO give
time for the Lord Chief Justice to take his seat
On the reassembhng of the court the Lord Chief

The Arena of America.

Cast a momentary glance over the surface
of this broad continent You will see at
once that it is the most magnificent theatre
upon which human power has ever had an
opportunity to exert itself. Remember that
upon it forty millions of beings are already
placed, and that the future will doubtless
contribute its annual millions in an eve1-
increasing ratio. You will also note that,
fiocking in from abroad, come the Celt, the
Teuton, the African, the Aztec, and the ma
tive of far Cathay; all rushing in to form
parts OF one huge conglomerate mass of rest
less humanity, upon whose fat depends the
realization of the highest hopes ever yet
formed of approaching the image of uto-
plan commonwealth. Surely never in any
preceding record of human history has there
been fairer opening for the full develop
ment of the noblest aspirations for good,
which the Divine Being has been pleased to
implaIt in the bosom of his creatures.
Here is ample space and verge enough for
the most fan seeing statesman, the most per-
suasive orator, the most profound philoso-
pher the most exalted philanthrOpist. Here
is field the like of which Aristotle or Plato
never trod. Here are problems on which
Cicero never could have speculated, or Ba-
con exercised his wonderful ssgacity. An
swer me, If YOU can, I pray you, shall it
indeed be that this marvellous scene will be
occupied by actors worthy of their place,
who viii strain their utmost powers to rise
to every great emergency, and do for their
fellow-meu all that mortal power has been
able to effect, since the forfeiture of para
diseg-C. Z. AdamS.

The London Engineer states that the
highest railway speeds in the world arc at
tanned in England, and that the highest Of
all is reached on the Great Western rs;lroad
tho speed on the latter being given round
IL as fifty miles an hour. Instances are
given, however, OF sixty-fve and seventy
miles an hour, and the Engineer believes
that it would be possible to lay permanent
way so well, and 10 maintain it.in such ex-
cellent order, that trains might travel on it
with perfect safety nj one hundred miles an
hOur-indeed, miles upon miles of such
tracks are now to be found on most of the
great mnin lines but nowhere can one hun
dred consecutive miles Of permanent way
in perfection be found; and, as a chain is
no stronger than its weakest link, and so
few hundred yards of bad track would
spoil for the purpose OF travelling ut one
hundred miles an hour whole line The
really important question, argues the En-
giaecr, is given the line and the cars fit for
it, what shall the engine be like, and is il
possible to construct an engine at all which,
with moderately heavy train, will attain
and maintain a velocity of one hundred
miles an hour, on line with no grade heav-
Ter than. say one in three hundred. After
a thorough examination of the question in
all its bearings, the Engineers figures prove
that it is absolutely impossible to obtain a
speed of one LII ldred miles an hour on mil
way, if the resistance is anything like one
hundred and twenty pounds per ton.
