CUBA.
from the New York Tribune. !

Neither sides, strictly speaking, has gained
ground. Both have lost strength, bnt from
the circumstances of the case, the loss On
the Spanish side is of greater significance
and importance than that of the Cubans.
1t was evident to every one that, sooner or
later, if the Spanarls did not succeed in
putting down the insurrectiOn they would
lose their bold upon the Island. Since the
rebellion began, the Colony has ceased to
pay anything into tho treasury of the
mother country. 1t is true that Spanish
officials have continued to administer the
military and civil service in Cuba in man.
ner highly lucrative to themselves; buD to
the home government, the Great Antilla has
been nothing but an expense and embar
rassment ever since the outbreak at 1ara in
the Autumn of 1868.
The exigencies of Spanish politics make
it impossible for the governments which
have succeeded each other in Madrid to let
the Island go, and the poverty Of TIL. ma
tiOnal finances prevents any such eXpendi-
ture as would be necessary to eXtinguish
the insurgent movement. Men could be
sent from time to time, but only enough to
.upply the waste by disease and battle and
desertion. The expenses of the war had to
be paid with the money which an unscru-

Elements of the Pcninsuar officers left no
great surplus for these Legitimate purposes.
The Island has therefore been slowly
bleeding to death under the double drain OF
the insurrection and the merciess eNactons
of the Spaniards. The limit to this process is
naturally the limit OF the war. As long as
the Cubans can sustain themselves in the
mountains, they will not give up the contest
for their independence. As long as the
Spanish officials, and those Peninsular resi-
dents in league with them, can wiring g
commodious subsistence from the ruin anC
misery of the Island, they will not reiinquisf
the attempt to subjugate the Creoles. With
in the last few months there have been two
important indications of failing strength anC
confidence among the Peninsular leaders il

One was the prompt and unexpected man
ner in which they yielded to the orders of
| the Madrid Government for the release o.
the Virginius. The other is the feverisf
and alarming condition of the money mar

The Washington correspondent of the

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes as follows:
Summers death probably terminates the
slavery contest in every particular, and
leaves the Supplementary Civil Rights Bill
suspended for several years, or until the
colored people in bulk matriculate more in
citizenship. That race will continue to
press for equality, through Congress, with
diminishing chances but finally the pro-
longed anomaly of distinction with equal
citizenship will compel reawakening on
the subject But no man, not a negro, can
make any more reputation out of the slavery
question. This nation of white men has
paid fearful price per capita for the free
dom Of the slave. 1t has paid for, say,
600, OOO,O 900, or about $3.50 per head, in debt
alone, bearing interest-the same the dusky
race would have cost bought up by the ma
ton without losing life.

ACADEMY OF MUsIo. Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather last evening,
there was large attendance at this theatre,
likewise at the matinee at noon. The eve-
ning's performance was replete with novel
ties. Hurley and Mari, in their original
and own peculiar style of representing Greek
statuary, created much fun and laughter.
This evening will be the occasion Of the re-
appearance of Miss Alice Harrison, who will
mske her rc-entree in her protean drama, en-
titled ''Stratagem." Monday will bring
with it new attractions, in the persons OF
Miss Leona Dare, gymnast; Quilter and
Goodrich, in songs and dances; and Neil
Conway, character dancer. Next Saturday
there will lie grand lady's solitaire dia-
mond ring gift matinee. The ring in ques-
ton is beautiful gem, and the fortunate
holder of the lucky ticket will certainly
have obtained a valuable prize.

The death of two noteworthy English
duchesses has lately been announced. The
Dowager Duchess of Richmond was a
daughter of the famous Marquis of Anglessy,
who commanded the cavalry at Waterloo
and there lost leg. His children were re-
markable for their beauty and their matri-
monial difficulties, most of them betraying
an unfortunate prediction, according to
their sexes, for the wives or husbands of
other people. But the Duchess Of Rich
mond was, on the contrary, lady OF spot
less reputation.
The Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos,
whose death is also announced, is wife of
the present Duke, whose early life was 80
heavily clouded by the inter wreck OF his
fathers fortune, which necessitated the sale
of every table and chair he bad in 1o4o
Great sympathy was felt for the present
Duke, then Marquis Of Chandos, whose
behavior, from 6rst to last, under most
trying circumstances, has been admirable.

Hangmnn FOOte Duels with S.S.Prentiss.
From the Paris Kentuckian.


A friend of the late S. S. Prentiss, Of Missis-
sippi, was at the point of death from an attack
of mama a potu. For q week his physician
had tried every known remedy to put him
to sleep, but in vain. Prentiss knew that
Foote had made visit to Texas. He was
rursing his sick friend when a consultation
Of the doctors was held, and they announced
that the case was hopeless unless the patient
cond be put to sleep, but that would ex-
haust all the means known to the profession
Prentiss sprang from his seat, and said to
the doctors: damn it, give him Foote's
book on Texas to read, and | will insure its
soporitic effect" The remark of Prcntiss
was too good joke to be kept, and it
reached the ears of Foote, who challenged,
and Prentiss was too much Southern
cavalier to decline, and they met and
Foote was wounded and the parties made
friends.
1t happened that the meeting was so
notorious that very large collection
crossed the river at Vicksburg to witness it,
and among them number of boys, who
were so anxious to get full sight that
they climbed up many trees about the
grounds. When the seconds had planted
the parties, Prentiss looked around and
saw the boys in the trees, and jestlngty re-
marked: Boys, you had better take care );
Foote shoots mighty wild" This remark
was published IN the papers, and annoyed
Feete to such degree that he again chal-
lenged Prentiss, who met him second
time. At the meeting Foot fired and
missed, and Prentiss fired his pistol in the
air, and the parties were again reconciled.
There many men who deem their calling
inglorious and humble, who have an ambi-
ton to see their sons elevated as (they con-
ceive it) to some profession, and their
daughters idle ladies', forsooth. According
ly, nothing is more common than to see
young men, thrust by their parents into the
professions, idlins away month after month
in musty, briefless law office with little
or no business, making themselves despised
by honest hard working men, in their at
tempts to live without work, which has
come to be synonym for Giving genteely."
Or perhaps the luckless wight is turned in
to doctor, to peddle drugs and endanger
human life by empiricism. Look at the
swollen ranks of doctors and lawyers for
proof 1t, with the same education they
have been obliged to graduate as NJ. DIS or
lawyers, these same young men would 60
back on the farm and labor earnestly and
with the enthusiasm necessary to eminence
in any profession, the results would soon be
manifest on the farming system throughout
the country.

The Republican papers in New Hamp
shire ascrbs the defeat of their party, in
the late election, mainly to the appointment
of Simmons as the Collector Of the Port OF
Boston. The people Of New Hampshire do
not know Simmons personally, and they
will not be directly affected by his good or
bad conduct as an officer. If he is con-
nected with personal interests in Massachu-
sets, that seems to be a question Of State
politics not ordinarily likely to affect
parties in other States.

A good many people outside of Washing
ton are in a state of feeling similar to that
described by Washington correspondent of
the Springfield Republican in the following
paragraph: i" People here wonder why the
ways and means are SO tender with Butler
in The moiety business. Why isn't there a
vigorous and thorough investigation Of the
subject If Mr. Boutwell, and Mr.. Richard
sou, and Sanborn and Jayne We're put under
oath and asked certain questions, maybe we
should get at the secret history Of this bust
ness, but there is a timidity and hesitation
which one cannot quhe understand. To say
the least, it is strange, and l have come to
the conclusion that very little reform may
be expected from this Congress on that
subject, unless things take different turn"
