not the only Eidorado Of riches upon
which the sun shines after ali, and
these statements ba. reiteTate the
opinion We had.already formed some
time ago concerning the labor status
ri the country which Is literally
swarnaed with laborers. A large
proportion of the young men who go
there from the Eastt>n and Central
States leave good homes and posi-.
lions with implicit assurance that in
very few years they Will return
with overlooking Golfers Of wealth.
They go there with no capital, only
- fad every chair Of labor in this
pew land occupied and q dozen stand
ing behind, thankful for the crumbs.
In some Of the countries, perhaps all
Ct them, men with apital TO invest
Ia prominent enterprises, can succeed
admirably, as they can in Iowa and
elsewhere: as, for instance, In COlora-
do where men with capital engage
IN raising with great success.
But because such men accumulate
rapid fortunes, there Is no assurance
that pennjless young men can do
likewise, and in general it Is true
that f0rtuBe-making in the West is
limited 10 those who have respecta-
bic purse AZ basis OF their operations
from the beginning.
1t Ii therefore accidental rather
than general when "a young man
without money is more prosperous
farther west than in these or more
easterly regions, and happenings can
not be relied upon In business under
all circumstances. In the future as
the vast resources Of the Great West
become more developed the occupa-
tons Of labor will become more di-
yersified and the industry Of the
country more extended. There are
doubtless great uDmined fortunes
waiting many thousands OF this and
coming generations in the new lands,
but now every avenue Is full, cran-
med aud overilowing--and we be-
lieye that every man will consult his
own best sense, and reap the greatest
benefits to himself by violating the
philosophical ordinance "Go West
young man." and staying at home.

SPAIN-CUBA-U STATES
THEIR RELATIONS.

Spain is u republic under the admin :
istratiou Of CASTELAR,. There IS q rebel
lion in Spain against the Republic in
favor Of Don Carlos which has not yet
been sahdued. What the result will Ill
timately be is not now fsreseen.
Cuba is under :he Government Of
Spain. There is and has been for sever
al years a rebellion in cuba. This re-
belion is wsged by tho Cubaps against
the SpaDiards andashe Spanish Govern
ment end in favor Of independence and
tie Cuban Government. Thus far the
Spaniards have been unable to subdue
the rebellion and the CubAns have been
unable to secure their independence.
The Cubans have long maintained war
fare but az yet there has no Government
acknowledged the independence Of Cuba
From the beginning the war has been
ws2ed by tue Spaniards upon the Gu
bans with great atrocity and inhumauity.
Still the warfare has been continued with
its revolving atrocities and inhumanities
without interference or remonstrance
from other nations. Recently events
have trvnspired which must necessarily
require Investigation and perhaps inter
ference by the United States and per-.
haps also by Great Britain
On the Iast Of October the Virginius
approaching and within about twenty
four miles of Cuba was espied by the
Tornado, undersail sabout eighteen mi es
from Cuba, which, expecting it to be the
Virginius, speedily got up full steam an !
tarted for the Virginius. The Virgin
ias, suspecting the approaching steamer
10 DO the the Tornado, directed her
course under full steam for Jamaica. The
race continued about eight hours when
the Tornado commenced firing. This
Virginius surrendered without reslG-.
lance and when boarded Capt. Fry hand

UNITED STATES VS.. SPAIN.

Now that all Americans are dis.
cussing the Cuban question, the re
cent outrage, and the possibility of q
war between the United States aud
Spain, it will be we'll to note the
strength Of the naval forces of both
nations.
According to the Navy Register
OF Jul y /, 1873, the United States
navy consisted of vessels clAssed a.
tlst-rate, 81 second rate, % third
rate, 5 fourth rate, iron vessels, ana
% second rate, and 4 fourth-rate
sailing vessels. It will thus be seen
that the American navy comprises,
Altogether, 90 vessels, of which So
are iron, and 20 wooden vessels Of
the whole number on July LIST, thirty
five were on service in the various
squadrons, ten on special service,
twenty-five were in the several har-
bors of the country, put TO various
uses, and twenty were in condition
to be made available tor service in
p, RODS ranging from two to four
months. There were twelve monitors
at League Island, carrying two IS
inch guns each, all Of which ure now
ready for use, and win Oh are said to
be able To protect every harbor in
the United States. Since July, a |
number of changes have of course
been made in the location, and quite
recently in the armament, Of several
of our naval vessels.
The Spanish Navy comprises nine
iron-clads, carrying from IA to 40I
guns; ten wooden frIgatss, first
class, carrying from 26 to 81 guns );
twenty six wooden frigates, second
class, carrying from to 10
guns; eleven thirk-cluss wooden

THE CAREER OF THE VIR-

The side wheel steamer Virgin,
now called the Virginus, was built
on the Clyde in the year 1864, in
tended for a blockads-runner, and
was reported to be, when launchsd,
one ofthe most rapid vessels ever
constructed, her lines being most
symmetrical and her engines remark
ably powerful for her size. After a
successful career in running our
Southern blockade, she wap event

that city. Subsequently the Virgin
was brought to New York, and was
transferred by the Naval Depart
ment to that Of the Revenue, but after
she had entered the service Of the
United Stated she was found insult
ed for her work, and she was sold At
auction 10 Mr.. Isaac Roberts, son
OF Mr. Marshall O. Roberts, of New
York, but was subsequently trans
ferred to Mr.. john E.. Patterson, Of
New York. She was then fitted up

tons of cargo-which gave her unu-
