SPEAKER BLAINE is reported in
trouble as to what to do with the Cred
it Mobilier members in the reconstruc-
ton of the congressional committees.
The secret of Mr.. Blaine's anxiety lies
in his aspirations toward the Presiden-
cy. There have been hints that he
would dodge the issue by leaving the
matter to the decision of a party eau
Gus. If Blaine is made Of Presiden-
tial stuff, he will decide the matter for
himself.

TIE SPANISH SITUATION.

Our dispatches this morning go far
to indicate that the agony is over. All
the demands of the United States are
said to be accorded by the Madrid jun
Ia. How far our original demands may
have been modified, in order to bring
about this peaceful result, remains I'M
known. The primal question, the le-
gality Of the seizure Of the Virginius,
is left in doubt. So long as this re-
mains undecided, it seems to us that all
the other vital points must remain in
like predicament. OF one thing only
are we certain, and that has
been our repeated opinion through
out, !. G., that no war Will
come if Grants administration and
CASTELAR, combined can prevent it. All
the reparation demanded, if no contin-
gency attached, would be butpoor salts
faction for the massacre of the noble
Capt. Fry and his crew with their limo
cnt passengers. The present position
GEMS to be: first, Spain slapped the
United States in the face, and second
iy, Spain acknowledges that she did so,
and will leave to mixed commission
the question of her right to do SO.
Isn't that glory enough for one day?
Let the American Eagle scream!

THE Nclv York World states that the
evidences of fraudulent practices at the
last election in that city are found to
afford full and conclusive legal proof of
almost every possible violation Of the
election laws, and consists of the de-
struction and substitution Of ballots,
the exclusion of watchers, the neglect
to require the necessary deposition of
challenged voters, and the refusal of
votes on false and frivolous pretences.
As these frauds were committed by Re
pubicans, it is not probable that Grant
will appoint an Assistant United States
District Attorney to prosecute the per-
petratOrs.

WHO'S DAT KNOCKIN' AT DE DO?
In a convention Of colored men which
met at Frankfort, KY, a few days ago,
to appoint delegates to a national con-
vcntion Of colored men to be held in
Washington on the 9th of December,
resolutions were adopted which go to
show that the members are not partic-
ularly grateful to the Republican party,
and Will demand something more sub
stantial than the empty right to vote
the white Republicans into all the fat
Offices. They want an equal division
of the spoil, and threaten to bolt iftheir
demands are not granted. The IN
djoaopoIis Journal, the Republican or
gan at the capital of Indiana, treats
the matter in this tiippant manner:
The colored men in some parts of
the country are appointing delegates to
a colored national convention to be held
at Washington on the 9th of December.
Among other rights which they propose
to assert is the right to an equal divi-
sion Of the offices with the white portion
of the Republican party. No man,
either white or black, has a right to
hold Office unless the people call and
elect him, and in taking the ground in
dictated above the colored men Will not
win much sympathy or support from
right-minded people. There is a trife
too much, on all hands, of this claims
to Office"
The imam and brother" is a marvel
lousy proper person for an Office of any
kind in any of the Southern States, but
when he talks about wanting Office in
the Northern States, he is cavaherly
told that his place is among the drudges
who do the voting. If the imam and
brother waits for the Northern people
to "call and elect him. to office of honor
and profit, it is likely his great great
grandchildren will be found standing
out in the cold, and "knockin' at de
do" as he is to-day.

tralia by the Captain Of her Majesty's ship
Basilisk. We now learn that the whole of
the Island of New Guinea has been taken
possession of in the name Of the Queen.
The possession of this island, one of the
largest in the world, teeming with every
variety of mineral and vegetable product,
occupied by three distinct races of men,
numbering several millions, intersected in
every direction by nayigable rivers, and
having every graduation of climate, is OF
more than ordinary Importance, as it vir-

the South Pacific and the China seas, and
must have a very important influence in
augmenting her Eastern commerce.

anecdotes of Public WOrthies.

George Washington. day, in fit of alb
straction the juvenile George cut down Bush
rods favorite cherry tree with a Ratchet His
purpose was to cut-and run.
But the old gentleman came sailing around
the corner of the barn just as the future Father
of his Country had started on the retreat.
"Look here, sonny" thundered the stern old
Virginian, "who cut that tree down ?"
George reflected moment. There WASH t
another boy or another hatchet within fifteen
miles. Besides it occurred to him that to be vir-
tuous is TO be happy. Just as Washington Sc
nior turned to go in and get his horsewhip, our
little hero burst into tears, and nesting among
his fathers coat-tails exclaimed, "Father, can
not tell lie. 1t must have been FROST"
''My son, my son." stammered the fond pa
rent as he made pass for his offspring, "when
you get to be first in war and first in peace just
return your back-pay into the Treasury, and the
newspaper press will respect you ~
abraham Lincoln. EARLY in the war a party
of distinguished gentlemen from New England
called on Mr. Lincoln to urge the appointment
@: certain Mr.. Brown to the post of quarter
master. The President, who was amusing him
self by splitting portions of the staircase of the
White House into rails received them cordially.
They stated their errand in an earnest but re-
spectful tone, and calmly awaited his answer.
Mr. Lincoln, drawing himself up to his full
height and clapping the spokesman of the party
on the shoulder, began to tell a story about a
dog-6ght he once saw in Kentucky.
By and by it had gradually grown dark sew
eral hours had passed away. and neither dog
appeared to get killed or to gain any advantage
over the other. One by one the party had drop
ped out, till the leader (who did not wish to dis
turb Mr.. Lincoln's hold on his shouder) was
left alone, trying to conceal yawn and to look
interested. Suddenly Mr.. Lincoln, with that pc
culiar smile on his countenance which Mr.. Car
penter can talk about, but can't paint, remark
ed, "By the way, my friend Pm sorry for Brown,
but gave that appointment to the other man,
yesterday"
Daniel Webster-The following anecdote OF
the great Massachusetts, statesman has never be-
fore appeared in print:
One day. Clay Webster and Calhoun met
upon the steps of the Capitol. Mr.. Clay ventur-
ed to remark, affable style, that it looked like
rain. Calhoun looked wise, but said nothing
Evidently be took in the whole situation at a
glance 1t was a crisis for Webster Carefully
laying bis thumb behind the third brass button
of his blue coat, he gazed from out of those cav
ernous eyes and grandly uttered these prophetic
words: mo, gentlemen, the American people
will never forsake the Constitution. We shall
have fair weather."
And so it proved.-LPpeneOrs NagJzine.

RoUGHISG Ir.-A few evenings since Detroit
chap was sparkling West-side girl who wore an
Elizabethan ruff Expecting his coming, she
had dressed for the OCCASION and her ruff, stiff
as an unrestricted use Of salin-starched gloss
could make il, was Of the most stunning char
aeier. The lover came at the orthodox time,
and was ushered into the parlor, where the en-
chanting maiden and her father and mother were
seated lie was cordially received, and tha even
ing passed pleasantly, although the old folks sat
up good deal longer than the youngsters
thought necessary. Finally they went to bed
aud the twain were left alone. After a certain
amount Of preliminary bashfulness, the maiden
assented to her lovers reques, for kiss. He es-
sayed TO take il, but was met at every point by
a brisilng wall of taratan and starch He came
up to her in front, and was gouged in each eye.
He sidled up to her and the right-hand prong
cut one OF his ears half of lie attempted to
reach the prize over her shoulder, and a chevaux
de freise of lace icked his nose till he obliged
10 take seat and sneeze Then the maiden
came to the rescue, and held down one side OF
the provoking ruff and again the lover advanc-
ed. Just as he had but reached her blooming
cheek, the damsel lost her grip, and the razor
like decoration few up with force that took
an "under bit out of his right ear" Then be
got mad. Then she got mad. Then they both
got mad, and an anticipated wedding has come
| to premature end.

IN InteLLi0ent Bird.

The Cardinal Grosbeak, commonly known as
tie ridbird, is quite iavorte in those localities
which he makes his home. The plumage is beau
tifu and the tones clear and varied. Being
birds of song they are much sought after for the
cage. But il is not our present intention TO con-
dense well known facts from the ample page OF
natural history. We simply desire TO tell lit
tie story. Last Summer lady wandering among
the cedars Of Cardome discovered the nest of a
grosbeak, and in the nest was tedgling which
she made captive. IL was wee thing aud had
to be reared with care. She transferred the nest
with the bird in il 10 cage, aud then hung the
cage to the limb of pear tree. All day long
the mother of the youngster hOvered IN the vi
cinity OF the cage. You coald not ;righisn her
away In the morning and likewise ia the even
ing she would gather insect food and carry ii to
her young, tenderly feeding il through the bars
OF the cage. Al night she made her perch upon
the limb beneath which swung the cage. As the
hedgling grew larger and stronger, the mother
became more attentive TO il. For an hour at "A
tine she would hulter around the cage and cluck
To il, and il was evident from her actions that
she was trying TO encourage ii TO use its little
wings as much as possible in its narrow prison
space Ii was slow work. but the lessons were
not wasted the young bird persevered and at
last was able TO fly or hop with confidence and
CeEtdluty PciSh " peiSh 1uu D"t W
bar. All this time defective bar of the cage
tad been confined to its place by little cord or
string The old bird may have studied the con
dition of affairs, but she did not molest the cord
She did not seek to arouse suspicion before her
tender offspring had the strength ard courage TO
use its wings But as soon as the young bird
was able to A., she watched her opportunity,
aud, when unobserved, went to work atthe knot.
She pecked away at the cord until the knot was
united, then pushed against the loose wire end
displaced it so as to admit Of passage from pris-
on to liberty. 1t was bold stroke and there
was touch Of genius in the whole performance.
When men pursue such tactics as this bird pur-
sued, We call the work generalship and applaud
the authors of it as heroes. Shell we not then
admit that this scheming mother bird, in taking
care of her captive young as she did, in teach
ing it to fly, and then in rescuing it from prison.
was guided by higher clearer and more intel
ligent light than that which comes under the
head of blind, illogical instinct ?-7"J, Field
and Farm
