There has beeu a battle fought in
Cuba at last, in which respectable
number Of men were killed and
wounded The losses of the Spaniards
are said to be have been heavy, and
the Insurgents claim a decided victo-
~. If this be true, the authority of
Spain over the Jem of the Antilles
may be now considered as virtually
at an end.
THEODORE Triton says that the
hardest thing in the world to do is
to smile and speak pleasantly when
a man weighing 300 lbs. treads up
on your cOrns. Unless Vic. Wood
hull is a Iineal descendant Of Sap
phira, a Brooklyn man weighing a
bout 200 lbs. made him smile and
try TO look resigned under heavier
pressure than that.
Why is there such agony among
the bankers upon the subject of in
flation, if il will ruin the people
and enrich the banks?
Why cannot Government notes,
(greenbacks) be made as safe a basis
on which to transact business as
gold and silver?
And what good does the gold and
silver do, when it is locked up by
the Government, and not used as a
circulating medium at all?
We do not care to give our read
crs anything upon State politics in
this issue of the WING AND TRIB-
UNE, beyond the admirable address
to the people, issued by Messrs.
Harris, Quarles, Henry, House, and
a number of other prominent citi-
zens of GAINESVILLE, which we pub
lish elsew here. 1t is calm and tenn
peratc i'll tone, but there is the pow
er of the tempest behind it. AS will
be seen from the address itself, the
proposed basis of action is the Bart
lett platform.

Montgomery station, point near
Bay St. Louis, Miss, is fast acquir-
ing a bloody notoricty. a few
months ago Judge Cooley was kill
ed at this point by Mr.. Rhett, the
weapons used being doublebarreled
shot guns, loaded with single ball,
the distance being 40 PAGES. On
Saturday last at y o'clock, at the
same point, fighting with the same
deadly weapon at 40 PAGES, Aris-
tides Bienvienue was killed by T..
3. Phillips, being shot through the
brain. Phillips was unhurt. The
parties were both of New Orleans.
The GRANGE OUTLOOK The
first number of this paper, publish
cd at Knoxville in this State, has
! reached us. The Outlook is a quar-
to weekly, and is filled with very
Interesting reading matter. 1t does
not propose to enter the field of po-
litical or religious discussion. but
viii be devoted to building up the
agricultural interests of the coun-
try. NIessrs. Barns, SimmOnds 81
Co., are the publishers of the Out
look, and Mr.. c. w. Charlton is the
editor. The subscription price is
| 81 90 per annum. We wish the
new paper success, and judging from
the style and general make up of
the first number, it is very likely to
secure it.
The modcsty of a jackson con-
temporary is positively painful. 1t
prepares funny paragraphs and
sends advanced proof sheets to the
Danbury News man, thus permit
ting their publication in Connecti-
cut several weeks before they APP
pear in his own paper. Jackson has
n right to the celebrity that would
attach to her, if it were generally
known that the Danbury paper
draws it's inspiration from our
midst. Hereafter we hope that 9TH
er papers will head paragraphs ia
ken from it in this way: "The gem
uine Danbury News man, who
lives in Jackson, Tennessee, says,
&C." If our modest contemporary,
after this gentle hint, does not come
to the front and boldly announce
himself, we will be compelled to
give his name.
The Falcon of the End contained
the following deserved compliment
to Judge Snecd, of the Supreme
Bench. We do not know that Judge
S. would exchange the high and re-
sponsible Judicial position that he
now occupies, for that of Governor
even, but there can be no doubt that
he would make an admirable exec
utive:
"Judge John l.. T: Sneed was in
Somerville last week. He is still
spoken of throughout the State as q
probable candidate for Governor,
and many of his friends and admit
rers urge him to make the race. He
has not yet consented, and is not to
be regarded as candidate, but if
his friends persist in bringing him
ont we doubt not that his name
would prove tower of strength be-
fore convention of the Conserva-
tive element. He is universally
popular with the people and would
make powerful race"
