Spaniards wounded. The number of in.
surgents killed, if it is stated correctly.
indicates that there must have been good
many rebels present in the fight, and they
must have fought with courage and deter.
mination. The Cubans are fixed in their
resolution to separate that Island from
Spain.
According 70 the agricultural returns of
Great Britain for 1877 only six per cent
OF the population are engaged in tillaee
and husbandry. The number of the agri-
culturists amounts to two millions, while
the entire population in 1871 was 81 ,Sl7,.
los. The labor expended and the land
titled are inadequate to furnish food for
the inhabitants, and hence the large and
increasing trade in breadstuffs, hams, beef
and pork taken from the United States
As England now consumes large quantities
of canned fresh meat from Australia, II Is
highly probable that exports of the same
kind of food from Texas will shortly be
sent over to Great Britain.

We have never much favored corporal
punishment In schools, but whether the
substitute adopted by Wisconsin teacher
Is desirable is little doubtful. When a
pupil is disobedient, idle or refractory, he
administers to the delinquent dose of
castor oil. The only result of this treat
ment of which we have report is n pun
strangely and fearfully cxecrable, made by
the editor of u local newspaper. He says
such treatment ought to render the schol-
airs "dose'ie" He evidently needs a
quart or so himself. Teachers of Carroll
county, take notice.
The escape of the remnant of the Mo-
docs seems to be assured, and they have
spread themselves over the country hoping
to conceal themselves among other tribes.
1t is now question whether they will
obtain any assistance from them, it is stated
that it is possible that all the tribes except
the Warm Spring Indians sympathize with
Captain Jack, but will be afraid to aid
settlers throughout the country over which
they are retreating.
The Chicago Ereniag Journal states
that since the great fire that city has Dor.
rowed over fifty millions of dollars, and
that her realty is mortgaged to non-resi.
dents for about seventy millions. New
York, Hartford and Boston have furnished
this money mainly, and one Of the mon.
eyed institutions of Hartford has nearly
ten millions of Chicago mortgages drawing
an average Of nine per cent.
