NEW YORK, November ia Wash
ingtOn correspondent has had an inter-
/ view with Secretary Fish, regarding
the shooting of passengers of the Vir-
glnlusi and the secretary said it was
cOld-blooded murder, and no one of
sound Judgment pretends TO apologize
for the butchery; but the Cubans them
selves are a misguided set, and they
have had, it is presumed, patriots run
ming loose in New York and Washing
ton cities, who, had they been made Of
| sterner metal, they would have been
lighting their battles on the Island, in
stead Of manufacturing useless and
pseudo enthusiasm in those cities. No
one denies that RYAN and
his cOnfreres were in the commission
of the CuOans. If an American is will
ing TO enter the service of foreign pow
er, he does SO at his own risk, and has
no right, at every turn which proves in
imical to his own interests or life, to ask
the Intervention of the government he
has voluntarily left to battle for another
power. 1t would have been much more
creditable to the Cuban authorities to
have kept their officers at home doing
service where it was valuable. Battles
fought or enthusiasm breathed in New
York and Washington will not gain
victories, or add one chaplet to the
cauee. If they had done more service
in Cuba, and less elsewhere, the cause
on the island might to-day wear more
fattering aspect. The Cuban warriors
should be made of better stuff than those |
who fioated around these cities, So
liciting aid and encouragement for the |
insurgent arms. Mr.. Fish added that |
he sympathized with Cuba, but could |
not render aid in any degree which will |
conflict with the comfy of nations; and |
further, he wanted to see better metal
from Cuba than has yet been sent, be-
fore he could hope to hear of their ulti-
mately achieving gtheirindependence In
the present juncture of affairs, he said,
''the State department will use the ut
most diligence to be advised at the earli-
est practicable moment. After we have
full facts we will act. This government
cannot now act, because it does not have
any basis upon which to proceed firmly
and intelligently. 1t may be a week
yet before the news is presented in an
official shape.v

A Good Work.

Here is a homely little matter, says an exchange, worth attention, as it may mean life or death before long to many poor woman or child. A few years ago an overworked, sickly Welshman, with his wife and child, came to mill town in this country and found work in a steel factory. The hard labor and heat aggravated his disease, and very soon all the symptoms of rapid con sumption showed themselves. His wife, country-born and bred, tried sewing and washing, but, hungry and weak, she was poor seamstress and poorer laun- dress. Want and misery were already in the wretched little shanty, and death, as the old song says, stood knocking at the door, when lady noticed the man with his sunken chest and hollow cough creeping past her door daily to his work, and told him, what he knew too we'll already, that to continue in the mill was suicide. "What can I do?" he replied. eff I quit it for week, my wife and child will starve." The woman had no money to give, but instead of heaving a sigh over the necessities of the working classes and letting the matter slip past her as so many of us would have done, oAAO AOOAOo cbOOuU uO A11I b fdCdAU u1CuO for him. Presently she remembered another needy case, a friend of her own, woman of wealth and refinement, with two or three children and uncertain health, who, simply because she lived in the country, was forced half the time, like Lady Anne, to "cook, brew, bake, make the beds, and do all herself" {" Here was need which would relieve the other. In month the Welshman and his wife were quartered in snug cottage on one of the highest, healthiest localities in the country. He helped in the barn, in the stable, did light work afeld. His wife proved an invaluable house servant, and presently was pro- noted to be housekeeper. The child was rescued from the streets and grew up in the pure air and pure influences of the country. This was ten years ago. The Welshman is now hale and hearty, has his own little patch and works the rest of the farm on shares with the owner,

A Railroad Seized by an Armed Force.

A railroad war of some magnitude has been in progress at Youngstown, Ohio. About year ago, the stockholders of the Liberty and Xenia Railroad Company sold that road to the Ashtabula, Youngstown and Pittsburg Railroad Company, receiving in payment part in cash and part in bonds of the latter Company. Owing to some subsequent misunderstanding the matter was taken before the courts, and for the past four or five months the Ashtabula, Youngs- town and Pittsburg Railroad Company have held control of the former road by virtue of an injunction which expired lately, at which time there appeared upon the premises two of the principal stockholders of the Liberty and Xenia road, with large force of men, who tore up the track, cut the telegraph wires, stopped alltrains, took possession of the rolling stock, and are now in for cible possession of the road with force of two to three hundred armed men. William McCreery, President, and other officers of the Ashtabula, Youngstown and Pittsburg road are now at Youngs- town, and it is reported that 0 special train has left Pittsbufg with reinforce ments for McCreery, who is backed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Great excitement prevailed, and there was imminent danger of riot.

VOL. II.

Yet the force of habit was such, that her tongue refused to stop, and, as there was no more argument or debate to be had, she fell into train of exhortation. The judge evidently appreciated the difficulty, and made no effort to proceed with any other business. Abby there fore took out her Bible and read about three verses. She then commenced an exhortation, which immediately ran into the history of her family, the good quail ities of her father, etc. She then read perhaps as much more, and exhorted back to her childhood, showed how she was trained and the like. Thus the whole time was spent, while the jury deliberated.
 When the jury returned, every face in that broad court room looked anxious. Whether the feeling which pervaded the audience arose from sympathy with Mrs. Folsom, or from desire to see her lawlessness restrained, or from sheer curiosity, it matters not. The feeling was strong one, and no spectator was free from it's influence. Even Mrs. Fol som showed degree of solicitude which had not before appeared in her counte- nance during the whole day. But the AC0u0SJ ODS0EfCI9 W4Uu d11 .111S DOWCI O1 penetration, could read nothing in the eye of single juror. Every look was stolid, blank, unintelligible. The clerk mechanically propounded the question:
 "Mr. Foreman, have you agreed upon verdict ?''
 "We have"
 "What say you, MT. Foreman, is the prisoner at the bar guilty, ornot guilty?"
 "Not guilty 6y reaso's of partial i'a- sanity"
 A deathlike silence for moment en- sued, when Abby with strong effort called out:
 "Mr. Foreman, will you answer me one question ?'
 The Foreman replied, Certainly, if I can."
 "Do you, from the very bottom of your soul, believe that I am partially insane ?"
 The Foreman, in a firm and decided tone, replied:
 "I do."
 This was the most cruel cut of all. If the verdict had been "not guilty" she would have triumphed. If guilty" she would have proclaimed herself 8 martyr, and have gone to jail, a heroine. But to hear jury of her peers declare her insane We'll, for once Abby Fol som was prostrate, and for few weeks, by order of the court, enjoyed the kind protection of an Insane Asylum.

 Caught up the little meaning sound, Another voice had breathed it clear, And so it wandered round From ear to lip, from lip to ear, Until it reached gentle heart, And that tt broke"

Getting the Boys Up.

Calling boy up in the morning can hardly be classed under the head of "pastimes," especially if the boy is fond of exercise the day before. And it is little singular that the next hardest thing to getting @ boy out of bed is getting him into it. There is rarely a mother who is 8 success at rousing a boy. All mothers know this so do their boys. And yet the mother seems to go at it in the right way. She opens the door, and insinuatingly observes, "Johnny p There is no response. John-ay !'' Still no response. Then there is short, sharp "John p fol lowed moment later by 8 prolonged and emphatic |" John Henry" A grunt from the upper regions signifies that an impression has been made, and the mother is encouraged to add, "You'd better be getting down here to your breakfast, young man, before I come up there an give you something you'll feel" This so startles the young man that he immediately goes to sleep again. And the operation has to be repeated several times. A father knows nothing about this trouble. He merely opens his mouth as a soda bottle elects its cork, and the stJohn Henry" that cleayes the air Of that stairway goes into that boy like electricity, and pierces the deepest recesses of his very nature. And he pops out of that bed and into his clothes and down the stairs with promptness that is com mendable. It is rarely boy allows himself to disregard the paternal sum- mons. About once year is believed to be as often as is consistent with the rules of health. He saves his father 8 great many steps by his thoughtfulness. |-D0,abn4y NeaUs.

How She Stopped It.

An exchange says the subject of bor- rowing and lending came up in the course of a conversation with one of it's subscribers the other day, when he sud denly recollected a funny reminiscence of that character which had happened in his own neighborhood He said he had neighbor whose family were great borrowers, but not 50 distinguished as paymasters-they were always borrow ing, but seldom, if ever, returned the exact amount borrowed An old Quaker lady, another neighbor, who had en- dured these invasions for long time patiently, hit upon very philosophical mode of eventually putting stop to the nuisance. Keeping her own coun- sel, the next time her good man went to town, he had a separate and express or der to purchase pound of the best tea and also new canister to put it in. As he knew she already had plenty of tea and also canister, he was puzzled to determine what the old lady wanted of more tea and 8 new canister, but his questionings and rCasonings elicited nothing more than repetion of the order.
 "Jim, did I not tell thee to get me pound of the best tea and a new canis- ter Now go along and do as bid thee."
 And go along he did, and when he came home at night the tea and new canister were his companions. The old lady took them from him with an anus ed expression on her usual placid fea- lures, and depositing the tea in the canister, set it on the shelf for special use. It had not long to wait, for the borrowing neighbor had frequent use for the aromatic herb. The good old lady loaned generously, emptying back in the canister any remittance of bor- rowed teas which the neighbours con- science inclined her to make. Time went on, and after something less than the one hundredth time of borrowing, the neighbor again appeared for ''just another drawing of tea, when the oft visited tea canister was brought out and found to be empty, and the good old lady and obliging neighbor was just one pound of tea poorer than when she bought the new canister which now only remained to tell the story. Then she made a little characteristic speech, perhaps the first in her life; she said: Thou seest that empty canister. I filled it for thee with a pound of my best tea and I have lent it all to thee in driblets and put in to it all thou hast sent me in return, and none but myself hath taken therefrom or added unto it, and now thou seest it empty; therefore l will say to thee, thou hast borrowed thyself out and I can lend thee no more ]"
