been done 20 augment the revenue of
Spain from Cuba Cuban pstriots-the
rich and wealthy Cubans that Joined
our cause-have destroyed a large por.
tion of the property on the entire is
land, burning their own sugar estates
among Others, in order that Spain might
be deprived of the revenue from them
! tell You the revenue from Cuba now
is so much less than the expenses of
the war that Spain cannot follow il up
much longer. We can continue for an
indefinite period, having no expenses
to meet, and the troubled condition of
affairs in Spain at the present time will
surely not contribute to her victory in
Cuba. The revolutions there will pre-
vent Spain from sending out any more
troops, and those now on the Island
cannot last very long. Nearly half the
Spaniards that came to Cuba have died

The New German Peers.

The latest foreign papers contain
sketches Of the newly created Peers in
the German Parliament, by which help
the Government succeeded in carrying
through the Counties Reform Bill.
There were twenty-five of these Peers
in all. Five of them were from the
army proper, including General Won
Steinmetz the fighting General of
1866, who was deposed after the battle
near Metz, IN 1870, and Won Peucker,
the author of work on "The Military
System Of the Ancient Germans. "
Nine of them are from the Ministries
and their dependencies; three from the
landed Interest; three from the inactive
civil service;" two from the diplo-
matte service, Won Magnus, formerly
Minister Resident in Mexico, and Won
Eichmaln, Ambassador at the Court of
Saxonyt one from the provincial Adj
ministfation, Won Bardeleben, Presi.
dent-in-Chief of the Rhine Province !:
and Viewer, Attorney General of the
Supreme Court, and Henriel, Vice
President of the Court of Appeals.
Nearly all of the new peers are octo-
genarians and are considered by the
European press as mere bureaucrats
selected to carry out this special pur-
pose and nothing more. The real
friends OF reform III Germany consider
that this addition to the Upper House
is no reform at all, and are unanimous
in asserting that the Government has
adopted only half-measure. The Co
logne Gazette pronoHnces the confu-
sion of opinion to be chaotic.

latter Association has membership Of
100000. 1t is contemplated when the
season opens to send at least half a mil.
lion Of German and English farmers and
mechanics TO various points in the New
World, but mainly to the United States
Both these associations have for their
principal object the relief Of the present

$4,000 to carry out their plan. Its pro.

BURNED AT SEA.
Arrival OF a Disabled SehOoner-An I'M

Crew Supposed TO be Lost.

Arrival OF Disabled SehOoner-An Un-
known ship Discovered on Fire-The
Crew Supposed 10 be Lost.
The schooner Louisa, Capt. Martin,
from Cape Haytien, for Boston, and
loaded with logwood, arrived at New
port, r. l., Tuesday evening, with the
loss of her deck load and main boom.
Her sails also were split, she having
experienced heavy weather. Captain
Martin reports that ON December 20, in
latitude 81 80 and longitude rs, about
2 p. NJ, the wind blowing a heavy gale
from the south, he saw, about five miles
distant, vessel on fire. He hauled by
to windward, ran down to the vessel,
and found her to be ship, about
1000 tons, and completely enveloped
IN flame and smoke. Her masts were,
burnt of, and the hull burnt down to the
second deck. Most of the house and
stern were standing. Captain Martin
could not get near enough to her, on
account Of the binding smoke and
heavy weather, but he remained short
distance from her for two hours, and
had his crew in the rigging, so as to
ascertain if any boats could be seen
to leave the burning ship. None were
discovered, and it is supposed that
they, on the outbreak Of the fire, took
TO the boats and were swamped and
lost, as it was very boisterous at the
time, the wind blowing perfect hurri-
cane. The vessel was probably loaded
with petroleum or naval stores, as the
heat was so great.

Up with the sun in the morning,
Away 10 the garden he lies,
To see If the sleeping blossoms
Have begun TO open their eyes
Running race with the wind,
With step as light and feet,
Under my window, near
The patter OF little feet.
Now to the brook he wanders,
In swift and noiseless fight,
Spiashing the sparkling ripples
Like fairy water sprite.
No>sand under tabled river
Has CLEAN like his golden hair;
No pearly sea-shell is fairer
Than his slender ankles bare
Nor the rosiest stem of coral
That bushes in oceans bed,
Is sweet as the flash that follows
Our darling airy tread.
From broad window, my neighbor
Looks down on our little cot,
And watches the "poor mans blessing
] cannot envy his lot.
He has pictures, books, and music,
Bright fountains and noble trees,
Flowers that blossom in roses,
Birds from beyond the seas
But never does childish laughter
HIS homeward footsteps greet
His stately halls Le'er echo
To the tread OF innocent feet.
This child is our speaking picture"
A birding that cnatters and sings,
Sometimes a sleeping cherub,-
lOur other one has wings.)
His heart is charmed casket,
Full Of all that's cunning and sweet,
And no harp-stTing holds such music
As follows his twinkling feet
When the glory OF sunset opens
The highway by angels trod,
And seems 10 unbar the city
Whose builder and maker is God,
Close to the crystal portal
! see by the gates OF pearl
The eyes OF our other angel
A twin-born little girl
And | ask to be taught and directed
To guide his footsteps Alright;
So To live that | be counted worthy
To walk liz sandals of light;
And hear, amid songs Of welcome
From messengers trusty and feet,
{ n the starry floor of heaven,
The patter Of little feet.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY.

Cespedes had hitherto maintained a
calm and dignified demeanor. He
seemed tothink that the American Gov
eminent had acted halshly in frus.
trating the plans of the numerous Gu
ban expeditions of relief. He dwelt at
some length on the object which the
Cuban patriots had in viewl and in a
semi-mournful tone observed that the
cause being q worthy one should have
met with more substantial sympathy
from a free republic. l advanced the
idea that the interference of the Gov.
eminent with the expeditions 10 which
he referred was on account of the Ala
ALBANIA negotiations.
- believe that said President
Cespedes quietly; "and yet would you
not think that we deserve the strongest
sympathy from a people who did SO
much 60 abolish slavery The very
first act with us was TO declare all
slaves free-the unity OF blacks and
whites on terms of equality
lt struck me, coming through the
stacks ofrifles, that whatever difference
existed between the Spanish authorities
and their colored brethren, the pro-
ieSsions of the Cubans, SO far as the
slavery question was concerned, were
true. In camp life, nc all events, men,
black and white, could not have been
