We may have Cuba on the brain, this

aspects, so many and so grave complica-
lions, its past history in connection with
flibustcmng expeditions from the United
States is so interesting, and the other move

WON'T TAKE HEED.

In looking back upon the Cuban invasion
of 1850 and 1851, some curious facts are
DEVELOPED in reference to the ideas of the
southern statesmen on the question of state
and national sovereignty. Some of these
questions were finally settled by the rebel
lion and there are some, possibly, which
were not. In any event, these documents
Show that the government ought to have
been prepared for the action of the south
in 1861. John A. Quitman was then GOV
crnor of Mississippi and was in the secrets
of the Cuban invading forces. He coun-
selled with the leading spirits of that move
ment and was offered the chief command
which he declined solely on account of his
official position, promising, however, in
effect, to take charge thereof at the expira-
ton of his term of office. For his alleged
or real connection with breach of our
neutrality laws, he was indicted by the
United States circuit court of Louisiana.
and warrant was issued for his arrest.
But for his patriotism, conflict between

dence was published, by Harper and Bro
theirs, before the outbreak of the war. so
that the government were informed of
their plans and purposes. United States
Senator Brown,and others high in position,
wrote him that they only obeyed the Unit
ed States because the state of Mississippi
or their individual states, commanded them
50 to do. He was advised to resist arrest
by all the power of the state, because he
represented the sovereignty of the state. In
letter, Brown uses these significant words
IN reference to Mississippi and the United
States, "But when she says | owe obedi-
ence no longer, right or wrong, come veal
or woe, stand the behests of my legiti
mate sovereign" They cared nothing for
Cuba, but that was the chestnut, and Gov
ernor Quitman was the catspaw to with
draw 1t from the fire. The governor did
care for Cuba, and, although he was an in
tense state rights man, he did not propose
to bring on war, il it may be so called,
between the general and state government
lie thought the neutrality law was contrary
to the genius of our institutions, but he did

always determined to pursue similar
policy. 1t is taking the same course now.

CoRPoREAL PUNISHMENT. Judge Dean,
of Pennsylvania, ruled in the case of L. o.
1aberacker, teacher, charged with as
sault and battery ON one of his pupils In
Tyrone school, but it does not follow in all
cases that because there has been beating
therefore it is unlawful. Though pain and
injury have been inflicted, beating, in the
case of q teacher charged with assault and
battery, must 20 further than the mere
striking before criminal prosecution can be
sustained. Criminality depends not on the
beating alone, but upon the degree of force
used, and the cause of the beating A
master may nilict punishment upon his APP
prentice, parent upon his child, and a
teacher upon his pupil, without necessarily
being guilty of battery. But neither parent
nor teacher can beat the child To- crafty a
cruel or revengeful disposition, no matt9r
from what cause revenge may have risen.
The punishment must have for its object
the reformation or good of the child, or
the maintenance of order in the family or
school room, Any teacher who malicously
or cruelty beats a pupil should, without
hesitation, he convicted of assault and bat
terry.

COASTING.

Wednesday morning, snow covered the
face of the earth more particularly those
parts whose club" is Rutland. The day
was comparatively warm, so that it melted
from the roads, leaving the sidewalksex-
cept in front of the premises of those who
in compliance with the law, had removed
the snow therefrom--wet and 'sloshy."
Wednesday night and Thursday morning,
the atmosphere changed, and the mercury
descended far below the freezing point. As
result thereof, the sidewalk on the north
side of West street, and, perhaps, Of other
streets, was covered with ice. An ordi-
nance of the village of Rutland-which is
as of much force and effect as law of the
state of Vermont or of the United States
declares that "no person shall coast, course
cor slide on any sleigh, sled or other We
"hicle in any of the streets or highways of
"thc village, nor upon the sideedtts thereof,
Except such streets and highways as shall
"be designated by the trustees" west
street has not been so designated by the
trustees, but it was in constant use, yester-
day morning, at least, by boys in coasting,
coursng and sliding with sleds. The prob
abilities are that the present snow and ice
will not long remain thereon, but, whether
they do or not, the law is the same. Two
difficulties and dangers were experienced,
yesterday, both growing out of this illegal
use of the sidewalk The walk was rem
dercd almost one continuous pieccof glare
ice, making it nearly impossible, and ex-
ceedingly dangerous, for pedestrian to
pass up or down the same. We have been
told of many instances in which individu-
ais were seriously hurt by falls, occasioned
by the condition of the ice-rendered more
slippery by coasting, sliding, etc. The
other danger was in avoiding the sleds of
the boys, as they came down the hill with
constantly increasing momentum, when,
perhaps, their slcds were beyond control
We like to see boys enjoy themselves in
these winter sports. We remember how
down hill" as we called it, These sports
should always be allowed, but never at the
risk of the lite or limb of others. There
are streets, but little Travelled, that the trus-
tees could designate for such a purpose, but
the sidewalks should never be so used. Bet
ter still, there are hills that can be used ;
hills that are near by, whose use could
readily be obtained, where there would be
no danger Now is the time to start right
for the winter. Fix it right, both for the
boys and their parents.

m1e.sur HAVE BEEN AVOIDED

1t is strange, more than passing strange,
that the American people, and its govern
mcnt do not take heed to the past and gov
ern themselves accordingly. Much of
trouble, danger and difficulty might be
avoided thereby. Vast expenditures of
treasure might be saved and many valuable
lives preserved by such a course. Human
life is valuable, without regard to the
character of the man. Under certain cir
cumstanccs, il is true, it is right, proper
and lawful for the government to destroy
human life as Tor example in case of war,
the suppression Of a rebellion or riot, or
for high crimes, which the law pronounces
punishable with death. In our rebellion,
for instance, every person voluntarily en-
gazing therein was punishable with death.

OF charitable discretion and with an al
most unheard Of clemency, decided to re-
lease all participants in the rebellion from
the penalty of their crime, just as an cx-
ecutlve, Oftentimcs, commutcs the sentence

rlficed, recently, in Cuba might have been
saved If they had regarded the experience
of the past, or if the administration had
been on the alert to give practical effect to
to that portion Ct the fourth resolution of
the national republican convention of 1872,
which declares that ''thc national govern
= ment should seek to maintain honorable
peace with all nations" How can such
honorable peace be maintained if vessels
are permitted to SAIL from our shores, with
arms, ammunition and soldiers, to aid the
Cubans and with which to fight Spain?
They, surely, have the same cause of COM
plant which we had against Great Britain.
IL is cowardly for our government to pur-
sue different course toward Spain, be-
cause she is engaged in struggle for free
institutions at home, than it would toward
Great Britain, with all her wealth, power
and influence. The government by taking
heed to the past-both in reference to fill
clustering expeditions against Cuba. and
our claims during the rebellion, could have
prevented the sailing Of the Virginus and
consequent loss of life. If these men. or
any OF them, who were executed, by order
OF drum head court martial, were COM
petent to take command of, or prominent
part IN, such an expedition and the conse-
quent warfare, they must have known how
such adventures had ended in the past. If
so, they took their lives in their hands
knowing full well the consequences, and
s,aked THERE lives against success. They
played the game, they both lost the stake,
and suffered cruel death Should we
embroil ourselves in awar with Spain on ac
count thereof

EVENING SERVICES.

The services commenced at the church
at seven o'clock, and were opened by read
ing the results of the council by the scribe.
This was followed with singing by the
choir, and followed with prayer and read
ing scripture by Rev. II. II. Shaw, and
Rev. j. w. Bennett After singing by the
choir, Rev. j. G. johnson preached the
ORDINATION SERMON,
which was founded upon the 1st Epistle to
the Corinthians, LIST and % verses. The SER
mon was an able one and highly interest
ing to all present. As Paul preached Christ
and him cruciiied, 50 should the preacher
at the present day. This was the founda-
ton of all evangelical effort. The simple
story of Christ meets the need of all. Moth
ing else would answer, as all other modes
had failed. 1t was the preachers mission
to labor for the souls OF men. There were
no other means whereby we can be saved,
but through Christ, and to proclaim this
message to fallen man is the duty of the
ministry. If we reject this offer, where is
our hope? This sermon was full Of thought
and showed that the reverend gentleman
had expended great study upon the subject.
We regret that We have not time TO give
full abstract.

The American Eobacco Crop.

The great mass of the tobacco crop of
the United States, says the Philadelphia
LedgeT, is raised chiefly in Virginia and
Kentucky, although large quantities are
grown in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Con-
necticut, and other states The crop this
year in Virginia, it is said will be large,
and, though damaged by drought and
other causes, will be good average one,
with much fine tobacco. In Kentucky.
with the exception OF the Green River Dis
trlct, the crop will be very good, and in
some places large and better than last
year, In Indiana the yield falls off about
one-fourth, and is not SO good MS last sea-
sons, A similar report of a short crop
and poor quality comes from Illinois. Ten
nessee will give full average yield of fair
quality. Missouri will have an average
yield, but the crop will be materially dam
aged in some localities. In North Carolina
the crop is large but damaged, though the
yield will be an average one.
