SALARY BILL,

1t seems to have become such a
generally accepted fact that the
Congressional salary bill is to be re-
peaIed at the earliest possible mo-
ment, the Maine Republican News
papers are calling Mr.. Hale's atten-
ton to the fact that he is the fortu-
nate Congressman whose name
stands first on the roll on the call
for bills and resolutions, and urge
him to immortalize himself by be-
ing the first to move the repeal OF
the obnoxious law. Mr.. Hale's op-
portunity is a grand one and we
have no doubt that he will seize 1t.

THE SPANISH AFFAIR.

The clouds of war gather thick and
dark on our national horizon dur
ing the past week, and are still hov
ering about, and it is only a ques-
ton Of time as TO whether they will
Gear away entirely without bursting
ing upon us. The Virginius affair
has. caused intense excitement
throughout our country, and the
world at large. The affair is SO com
plicated that it is hard to tell what
che result may be. It is our opinion,
however, that Spain will not go to
war with the United States. Ifthere
is any way to get out of the muss
honorably, she will do it rather
than go to war with US. 1t is true
that many if not nearly all of the
murdered crew of the ill-fated chip
were Americans, and sailing under
the American Colors, yet they were
engaged in carrying arms to the in
surgents in Cuba who were fighting
against the Spanish Island. It has
now been ascertained that the fill
buster Gen. Ryan, was not patriot,
but a Contractor. He was to have
received $1,000 in gold for the safe
delivery of the arms and recruits
carried by the Virginius on the coast
of Cuba. The more we learn of the
characters and motives of the men
engaged in that ill-starred expedl-
tion, the less inspiring the subject
be comes. 1t is to be hoped that
this matter will be amicably set
tied without going to war. The
Spanish authorities are doing all
they can to bring about this end.
As the Republic of Spain Is of but
tender age, it would seem hard that
our Mighty Republic should endeav-
or to crush it out.
1t is absolutely certain that the
Spanish Republic owes its existence
to the American Republic, and, in
deed, may be fairly called its child.
The Spanish Liberals have derived
their inspil alton and courage from
American principles and example,
and whatever hopes they entertain
of establishing free institutions in
their country rests upon American
success. Figueras, CASTELAR, and
others new prominent in the Span
ish Republic, have been our admirers
and eulogists from their youth, and
are therefore bitterly hated byBour-
bonists and royalists ofevery shade.
As we have always professed to
sympathize with the champions oi
free institutions everywhere, our
sympathy is especially due to such
men when at length they have. at
tanned to power and to position in
which, however imperfectly, they
may seek to realize their long cher
ished dreams. Let it be remember
ed that the celebrated men just nam.
ed are only specimens ofa great Lib.
eral party in Spain, party which, ia
vored by fortune, may permanently
govern the country. Is it,can it be
the right thing for the great Ameri'
can Republic, eren by pushing it'
right to the uttermest. to crush this
child of its own; to cover our life
long euloglsts with ignominy and te
blight the prospects of Liberalism in
Europe?

Harper's Bazaar.

Notice of the Press.
The Bazar is edited with a contribution OF
tact and talent that we seldom find in any
journal; and the journal itself is the organ OF
the great world of ffashion,-Boston Traveller.
The Bazar commends itself to every member
of the household-To the children by droll and
pretty pictures, to the young ladies by its
fashion plates in endless variety. to the prov
ident matron by its patterns for the children,
clothes, to paterfamilias by its tasteful designs
for embroidered slippers and luxurious dres-
sing gowns. But the reading matter of the
Bazaar is uniformly of great excellence. The
paper has acquired wide popularity for the
fireside enjoyment it afords.-N. \. Post.

The Leader Is a Republican paper, supports
Republican principles and the best interests
of the Farmer, the Mechanic, and all classes
generally. While doing SO, it will not support
The nomination of bad men for Offices merely
because they happened to be nominated by a
So called regular Convention packed with un-

they are nominated.
The Leader will oppose feariessly the at
tempts now being made to divide the School
Fund for the benefit of the Roman Catholic C
Church, and will defend our glorious School
system against the slanderous attacks of the
Romanists; it will do this fearlessly without
infringing on the religious freedom of any
sect.
The Leader will continue to advocate the
growth of Il home market for the agricultural
products of our soil by favOring Protective
Tariff with which to stimulate the growth of
manufactures and thus increase consumers of

SHORT CROPS ABROAD

The most Gloomy and discourag-
ing reports regarding the failure of
the harvest in Russia are constantly
coming. The misfortu ne will be
seriously felt in that country, as the
failure extends to the southern por-
tions of the empire, which are the
most fertile. So great is the injury
that famine is unavoidable in many
districts unless relief is furnished
Immediately, while the extent of the
calamity can as yet be only imagin-
ed. Some idea of the destitution
already existing may be formed
when it is stated that in the dis
trict of Samana alone more than
nine-tenths of the population are
entirely destitute, and it is estima-
ted that it will require 100000 of
rubles to meet the exigencies. In
H q H
Odessa an association has::been or
ganized and the intention is to raise
several millions of rubles to provide
food for the starving.
The demand for our breadstuffs
will be greatly accelerated when the
reports of the failure in Russia shall
have been officially established. II

raisers of the Northwest may con
sole themselves that their prospects
arc not as bad in the midst of the
stringency which has prostrated
every other industry as they were
led to believe.

One of the victims of the yellow few

Samuel Peters, member of Congress
elect from the Western District OF
Louisiana. He was cashier of the
Freedmen's Savings Bank Of the
above mentioned city, and had the
funds of that Institution under his
control. The dreadful disease car
ried him off so suddenly that he
had not time to give any directions
concerning the affairs of the bank,
and he died without making known
the combination" on which the
safe was locked. The books show
that there are $4,000 in the safe,
but there are no mechanics, in thst
part of the country that can open
the safe without destroying it, The

Boss TWEED SENTENCED.

Boss Tweed is at last convicted
felon with twelve years of imprison-
ment at hard labor, and a fine of
nearly thirteen thousand dollars
hanging over his head. In the des-
perate strait to which his fortunes
had fallen he found that courts and
juries were no longer his playthings
and that all his host Of friends, his
eloquent counsel and his own as
sumed airs of injured innocence,
could not avert the stern verdict and
sentence which twelve honest jury
men and competent, fearless judge
were about to pronounce upon his
crimes. The most curious and sig
Inificant thing about it all is that not
only the Boss but the city Of New
York as well, we're amazed by the
verdict and sentence. Neither could
hardly believe their eyes and ears.
The great thief who rode serenity
through one trial and confidently
hoped to go as easily through the
second, stood up and faced the jury
with the confident smile of a man
conscious of innocence and certain
of acquittal. When the word "guil-
ty" fell from the lips of the foreman,
the Boss dropped into his chair as
though he had been shot. He could
hardly believe what he heard. In
stead of the release from the an
noyance OF repeated trials upon
which he had so securely counted,
he suddenly found himself preRounc
ed q real criminal, with the barred
doors of the penitentiary yawning
to swallow him up. The thrill OF
incredulous surprise that went
through the great city as the news
Of the verdict spread, showed to
what degraded condition justice had
fallen in New York. Here was q

Trees Upon Stills.

Did ever you hear of trees upon stills?
A lady who had been reading book called
the Desert World" told little bird about
it, and the little bird brought word direct
to me- In Guiana and Brazil, the lady
said, are found the immense forests which
supply the whole world with nearly all
the dye woods in use, and the most beau
tiful timbers for cabinet work. These
trees love the sea air, so they grow as near
to the shore as they can without having
their roots and trunks washed by the salt
water which would kill most if not all of
them Between these great forests and
the open ocean stretch vast swamps, which
at low tide are only marshy, but at high
tide are covered with several feet OF water.
In these swamps grow immense quantities
of mangroves, their dense foliage seeming
to float on the surface of the water when
the tide is in, but when it is out the
branches present the appearance OF grow.
