The Effect Of the Sprague Failure On
Washington Socie1y.

The following is from the Washing
ton Chronicle: "The social world OF
/ Washington received stunning blow
one day last week in the reported fail
ure of Sprague Brothers. Not that
such failure affected the social wolld
Immediately, for the charming queen
OF society, Mrs. Sprague, is yet in
mourning for her distinguished father,
the late Chief Justice, and, giving up
her princely residence in the city, has
withdrawn to her fathers latest resi-,
dence, three miles out upon the Bla-
densburg road. This lady, whose heart
was nearly broken by the death of one
so near and dear to her: announced her
intention to give up the place III
society she has made so graceful
and celebrated, and devote herself
to the domestic cares and the pr.
vate duties of her beautiful life. But
we all know that one cannot SO readily
abdicata throne or throw aside q
crown, and that after the first keen
grief Of her great loss wore away, the
claims of society would again prevail.
Rumor says that, however embarrassed
financially the Senator may be, he bas
yet provision made to his family
that makes them independent. Aside
from the marriage portion settled on
Mrs. Sprague, the advent Of each child
born to tie Senator was the occasion
for gift of $500,O00. This is as it
it should be. In the hazarlous results
of business in our country it is we'll
for the father, in the hour oil pros
perity, to remember the helpless
beings dependent upon him, and make
ample provision for their comfort when
the hour comes, as come it will to
such, of adversely.

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 dull book that is -
she exclaimed. "And how attractive
history could be made for children !"
She went to work at orce, and wrote
for her child a series Of tales, embrace
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.
ton for grown people. At first the
idea almost frightened her; but she
prepared vaiiantly for the arduous
task. and soon Der 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 doae more
to popularize the history OF Germany
during the last two centuries than all
tue dry and dull historical manuals
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, i'll the regeneration
and unifcation 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.

Stepping u Nasal nemorraaye.
From the In.lisnanllia Herald

IN the early part OF the week We saw
DIR. Wright operate on u South street
patient for nose bleed, which was seri
ously threatening a 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 s
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 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 +
end of the string in the mans nostril,
to make it tight and secure. Then the
cttusion of blood was stopped, and the
funeral postponed.

NUMBER "a.
A Specimen Of spanish cruelty.


A most touching instance of iIeroism,
and one of the most atrocious acts OF
cruelty, the truth of which is vouchcl
for by tue most respectable authority,
occurred during the Columbia struggle
for Independence.
The Spanish General Mo,illo, the
most blood-thirsty and trcacherors tool
OF the Spanish King, was cre"tca
Count of Cartagena and Marquis de la
Pueria for services which rather ertitle
him to the butcher Or liangman.
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 q
prisoner in Morillo's camp
"What can you do to save your faith
err" asked the General.
81 can do but little, but what can
shall he DONE"
Morillo seized the little fellows car,
and said:
"Would you suffer your ear to
be taken off to procure your fathers
l1fel"
81 certainly would,'' 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 purpose % was
the next question.
81 have suffered much, but for my
father can suffer $1ill,'' was the answer
of the boy.
The other ear was taken off piece
meal, without finching on the part OF
the noble boy.
"And now got" exclaimed Mcrilio,
untouched by his sublime courage;
"the father of such son must die. -
In the presence Of his agOnlzed aud
vainly-sutferlng son, the patriot father
WAS executed.
Never did life picture exhibit such
truthful lights and shades IN national
character; such deep, treacLercus vii

Washington Dispatch to the New York Graphic.
Among the many rumOrs fitting
about respecting the imbroglio with
Spain, is one hat is remarkably curl
Gus, and yet so we'll substantiated that
am compelled to send it to you. It
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 OPPORTUNITY to pre-
clpltate the execution of their joint
programme. President CASTELAR,, az
you know, is an ardent anti slavery
man. He is also really anxious to be
rid of Cuba, which, with all its snowy
Importance as ''Queen of the An
TILES" is, i'll fact, burden and
a source of weakness to Spain. It is
the slave holding power in Cuba which
practically defies which carries
on the war in 50 brutal manner,
which embroils the mother country
against the latter's will. ScnoT 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 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 feet 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 q
war measure, proclailning universal
slave emancipation and establishing
an American protectorate. This would
be satisfaction to our injured honor,
and could be easily ma: tanned until
Cuba was in a condition to declare
hrrself an independent State or join

Seizure Of Presents Designed for King.
According to the French papers 4
diplomatic difficulty has arisen between
their government and the Khedive.
Some months ago Marshal McMahon
received from the King of Abyssinia !,
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 T. These
boxes contained arms, trinkets. and
other Partisan 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 contiscated their con.
tents. The French Charge d'A1airs
has naturally protested against this
outrage. and threatens to haul down
his fling unless full satisfaction is Of
fered.
