SATURDAY, NOVEMBER Is, 1873.
Cuban Affairs.

eighteen souls of all those on board the cap
tured steamer had been spared. ln all proba-
bility By this time ninety four human beings
have been executed 10 addition to those who
met their doom at Santiago on the 4th, It'll
and S,h iuStauts There were one hundred
and sixty.fxe persons on board the Eirginius,
and one hundred and forty seven OF them have
fallen victims.
The dispatches from Washington say that
at the time of the Cabinet meeting yes
terdyy this additional butchery was not
known, but the Administration had never.
,heless resolved upon decisive steps, which can
only be made more positive by the greater lm-
petus which the cousummation of the crime
must impart. Ii is Indicated that if immediate
satisfaction is not obtained from the Spanish
Government, the u S, will proceed to peremp-
tory intervention in Cuba.
\ At the Brooklyn and Boston navy yards war
vessels are being fitted out for Cuban waters;
the Kansas sailed yesterday for Santiago, and
Admiral Scott will shortly have under his COM
mand powerful feet ready to execute the or.
ders Of the Administration. And it Is said to
be certain that President Grant coutemplates
the necessity of throwing an armed force Into
Cuba and bringing the muzzles Of American
guns to bear upon the island. The position OF
affairs is grave indeed. -
Immediately after the adjournment of the
Cabinet yesterday, Secretary Robson repaired
to the Navy Department, aud had a long con-
ference with the Chief of the Bureau Of Con-
struction aud Repairs as to the fitting out for
sea several vessels now laid up, and then with
the Chief of the Bureau Of Equipment and Re-
cruiting, relative to furnishing such vessels
with the complement of men, stores, &c.
The Madrid Impartial has long article to-
day on the executions at Santiago. 1t endeav-
ors to show that it is not possible for the U. 5.
Government to make any demand on Spain in
consequence Of these proceedings 1t argues
that great majority Of the American people
want to see the Spanish republics united and
successful.
An enthusiastic meeting has been held in
Baltimore expressing feelings Of Indignation at
the proceedings 10 Cuba. Meetings. OF u siml-
lar character. have been held in St. Louis, and
other places'in the West. The feeling runs
higher than ever. -,
Mr.. Caleb Gushing 10 a convctsation stated
there were three very important point
to be settled before any steps could be taken by
the government of the United States. First,
the question of the fag second, the location of
the vessel when captured; third, her mission.
All vessels carry flag of some kind. Whether
they are rightfully entitled to the use of the
flag is another matter. y
The power vested in the President does not
confer upon him the discretion to put 10 opera
ton, without the assent Of Congress, offensive
or retaliatory measures.
The New York Times, takes the ground that
Spain having ceased to have any power in Gu
ba, the United States must take the control of
affairs in that island into her own hands.

PoE.-Rev. 6. W. POWELL pastor of Uni
versaist Church, on Sunday evening, delivered
lecture upon the fate Of Edgar Allen Poe,
and gave graphic picture of his sad career.
He quoted from the biographies Of Poe, and
more particularly that portion which referred
to the curse Of his hfe-strong drink-which
planted demon in his soul, dulIed his intelIec-
tual capacities, degraded his nature and made
his life miserable. No man suffered more from
strong drink or made more VOWS Of abstinence
than Edgar Allen Poe. A most vivid and thrill
Jog description followed Of Poe's last debauch
10 Baltimore, his death bed at the Maryland
Hospital and bis last words Beware OF the
power that bouod his noble soul and sent him
10 the MONDAY Of life to his grave. Baltimore

DEATH OF THE SLEEPING WoMAN.-Niss
Susan Caroline Godsey, known as the Sleeping
Beauty, died at the residence of her mother,
in Obion county, Tenn, on the 9th ult. She
had attained the age Of thirty-ooe years, and,
as was alleged, had been in her sleeping eondl'
ton for about tweniy-four years The Nash
vile Union of the 18th says: "Her case has
excited great interest and gave rise to much
investigation and discussion among scientific
men. The true nature of her affection, how
ever, was never understood She was brought
to Nashville iu the fall Of 1867 for the ostensl-
Bile purpose Of procuring medical aid, but was
really 10 charge Of an agent who contemplated
making an exhibition Of her. She was accom-
panied by her brother and other relations, who
were very much attached to her. While they
we're in Nashville they boarded at the house OF
Major Bruce, Oh Market street, aud the sleeper
was constantly watched by Mrs. Bruce, who
took great interest 10 her. She remained un-
der Mrs. Bruce's care eleven days. W nile there
she was visited By great many persons, and
had with her one or more physicians all the
time She awakened every hour, night and
day, at almost the same second each time anu
remained awake from seven to ten minutes.
Just after going to sleep each time she had
convuIsions that shook the room, and at such
times she appeared to be suffering great pain.
When asleep she was dead to everything, but
when awake talked pleasantly and lnteligeutly,
sometimes complaining Of pain, and exclam.
lug, oh, my head ! and when she awakened
she invariably asked for water, but ate very lit
tie. She said she had 20 consciousness of ever
having dreamed and that it was no pleasure
for her to live afflicted as she was. She was
very sensitive, and appeared mortified to
think that she was being exhibited Her
af1iction was inaugurated by a spell OF
chiIls. Some medical men have attributable to
the medicine she then took; others, that the
chills were precursory to her long sleeping
state Upon leaving Nashville she went to ST
Louis, and remained there short time. 1t is
said that the physicians there unanimously
agreed that she was an imposition. She 5000
returned to the home Of her mother, and has
remained there ever since. The Sleeping
Beauty is said to have been a truly beautiful
woman-not go cmaciatcd as one would think k
aud of shapely form.

EXTRAORDINARY snrsical Operation.

The Lancet gives an account of nm ex-i
trpordinary operation in which he nerves
Of the left npper extremity, frofn their
origin at The veriebral column almostto
their insertion at the hand, were rai,ed
from their beds and subjected to s'rsich-
ing and pulling. The patient was q sol
der who had been struck on the nape Of
the neck by tho butt end Of a nusket, and
following the injury there was the most
violen contraction Of the muscles Of the
upper extremity, attended by "a loss Of
sensation in the skil over the same. This
continued for nearly two years, when the
operation was performed BY making three
long incisionss one on the arm, one in, The
axilla, and one over The left clayicle; The
nerves were raised. submitted TO the ma
nipulations described above, then return
cd, and when the wounds healed the parts
were entirely restored TO their normal
state.-[Scribner' for March.

The New settler.

r. While Texas isimaking every honorable

immigration, we do not.undersiaDd that it
is any part Of her duty, interest, or incli-
nation to furnish money, brains, industry,
pluckror any other requisite 10 those com
ing here 10 live. She offers the enigraut
q soil as rich as that Of tho delta of the
Nile itself; seasons mild, balmy and as
favorable rs that oflItaly;a market at
home, and fair prices for every product Of
industry or skill. Thsrest, the Immigrant
must do himself, leaving nothing 70 chance,
luck, or any other doubtful means; aud
the sooner those coming here recognize
this fact, perhaps tbs better it will be for
oil concerned. ~
No where on the green foot-stool can
life be sustained alta less outlay OF phys

soluie protection to life or property. And
those seeking homes here have only to
bring an honest intent and determined
purpose, and their course is plain, safe
and easy. Competence,peace and plenty
is within The reach Of every honest, indus
irious, prudent man within all her broad
boundaries. No combination is necessa ry;
no advantiiious circumstances q lcgiti-
mate persistent effort, tempered and toned
by industry, and economy is all the capt

WIN, ofthe Timcs,

Napoleon Bonaparte, whilst on the
Island of st. Helena, said, that in halt
century the world would either be RepGo-
lican or Cossack. That length Of time
has passed by since the prediction was
made, and the world is neither one nor the
other. Was there anything at oil in the
iprophecyl Will the time ever come when
Russia and the Republics ef Earth will
cross swords and battle for the mastery
over the tribes and nations of the world |?
Just now Russia is moving TO the conquest
of vast territories in Asia. with the view
doubt less OF incorporating them with her
hitherto almost boundless domain. Upon
the other hand, Spain has to all appear
ances shaken off the shackles of despo-
tism and declared for Republic. Other
European Empires and Kingdoms are
swaying in agitation, land Kings and
Emperors look with alarm upon the pro-
grass of Republican principles.
The political condition of all christen-
dom is agitated and disturbed. Great Brit
ain is watching Russis, least she take q
share of her East India possessions. France
looks angrily across her lost territory to-
wards Prussia, and only bides her time for
revenge and when that hour of retribu-
tion comes, Austria, we imagine, will not
be absent from the fray, for she, too, has
her account to square. 7 f5
What is to be The end of all this solicit
itude and alarm Shall we have great
carnival of reyolution and bloodshed and
anarchy all over the earth, or will the ma
tions come forth purified and be willing
and ready TO proclaim heloug ,looked for
era of '''peace on earth and good will

Chincse Executions.


The Chinese Government is based on
two fictions: What the Emperor is the Son
OF Heaven; that he is the parent Of Chi
nese people. In harmony with these
principles, loyalty to the state is inculca-
ted not only as religious but as filial
duty. But all sentimental fictions are
liable to abuse, equally,in politics and re-
