letters from Abroad.
By HENRY DAY, ESQ.

In my former letter | referred to some
of the great public works of Holland.
There are other and grandcr examples
of the enterprise and public spirit of
It's people.
In the sixteenth century, Amsterdam
was the most flourishing commercial
city on the continent Of Europe. BY
looking at the map it will be seen that
its natural connection with the coast
is through the Zuyder Zee, which runs
"orth about tifty-onem miles to the North
Sea. The city is about twenty miles
directly east from the North Sea. In
1919 the navigation of Zuyder Zee had
become SO difficult on account of the
sitting up, head winds and numerous
sand bars, that Amsterdam began to
lose her prestige as commercial city.
Between 1919 and 1924 new ship
canal called the North Holland Canal
was constructed, running from AM
sterdam Harbor, which is on an arm
of the Zuyder Zee, (called Jj, and pro-
nounced y north about fifty miles to
Il natural harbor on the North Sea
called the Helder. 1t was one hun
dred and twenty-four feet wide and
eighteen feet deep. The great sea
gates at the Helder are noble speci-
mems of engineering and masonry
This canal when it was built was one
of the grandest public works in the
world. But it is found that its depth
is not sufficient for the largest sea- 60
ing vessels. They are from eighteen
to twenty-four hours in being towed

From the Aldine for March.
THE LAST HOUR.

They came to bear his corpse away
Before her grim and stark it lay,
With blood bcsprent from shield to crest,
And five wounds open in the breast.
They said to her, The grave is made
Wherein your lover must be laid,
And you nor We have time to spare,
Unless we seek his fate to share
She answered. Yet little space
Give me to look upon his face:
Until this final hour be sped
Leave me alone here with my dead
They turned away, those Stern-faccd men,
And left her to her watch again
Nor stifed sob, nor whispered word,
lIeucetorth the wotul stiffness stirred.
Outside the window, droning bees
liummcd drowsily about the trees;
The hot san blazed along the sky,
The wandering wind crept idly by.
It shook the sweetness and the bloom
From trailing vines across the room;
one white leaf futtered down TO rest,
And turned TO crimson on his breast.
She, kneeing by the awful bier,
Made no lament and shed no tear;
But the dumb anguish in her eyes
Might have compelled the dead to rise,
Could any yearning look or speech
Avail alas the dead to reach p
And the still lips that made no moan
Were pale Us lips are, cut in stone.
His head within her arms embrace,
Her cheek laid close against his face,
And all SilkPn lengths nm bound
Her dark hair streaming on the ground
So clung she silently and fast.
As one BY one the moments passed.
Aud with the passing hour once more,
Her brothers entered at the door.
For, marching downward through the land
There came apace hostile band,
And be y ho met its lawless horde
Might choose his death by fire OF sword.
Brief time remained for funeral rite
" hen need like this arose for flight,
50 they approached. full sore al heart,
To break that last embrace apart.
And one-the ,endercst-at her car.
Spoke soothing words Of love and cheer;
But won no answer. Mute as clay
And moyelcss 1T his voice she lay.
Then, with sudden vague alarm,
lie touchrd her check he raised her arm =
The arm dropt liieIess from her hold,
The cheek already had grown cold
The grave they followed cut for one
Held two before the day Was done.
Around il rang the battle din,
The lovers slept at peace within.

The National Republican, the winter organ of
the administration, discusses the argu ment of
the HERALD in favor of national convention
Of peace and reconstruction upon the theory
that the Southern men should all feel grateful
that they have not been hanged, and that be-
cause there have been no imprisonments, no
executions, no trials for treason, no ransoms
exacted, no sureties demanded for the future
and no confscation, that it is an error to COM
pare the Southern States with Poland and AL
SAGE and Westmeath. 1t is dificnlt to impress
an idea upon the mind of journal which
really believes that the Southern people should
feel that reconstruction was completed when
they were not hanged, and which does not re-
member that Mr.. Lincoln proclaimed emanci-
patton not as a measure Of humanity but as
an act of war; that he declared that he deemed
the maintenance of the Union to be paramount
to emancipation-a journal that feels that be-
cause Of Libby and Andersonylle" the South
ern States should be allowed to DRIFT into
anarchy, a war of race with race and legisla-
ton that means reputation.

Virginia City. And tomorrow there will be
some more of these party conventions, includ-
ing that OF the Michigan democrats at Kala-
mazoo, that of the Nebraska democrats at
Lincoln and that of the Nevada democrats at
Virginia City. We shall have others Of these
conventions scattered along to the 23d of this
month, when the New York republicans will
assemble III State council at Utica, which will
bring the schedule for this year nearly to a
close. II will be observed that various new
parties appear in these conventions, and no
doubt some very curious results will appear
from the elections soon to follow

GOLD MINERS BOUND FOR THE BLACK
HILLS. Notwithstanding General Sheridan s
warning that bands of white men attempting
trespass upon the reservation of the Indians,
as gold hunters bound for the Black Hills,
will have their wagons burned and will be ar
rested by the United States Army we have the
information in despatch from Bismarck, on
the Northern Pacific Railroad, that party of
fifty men, experienced gold miners, are organ
lied at that point for an expedition to the
Black Hills, and will probably leave inside Of
thirty days. They expect to evade the United
States Army and to give the Indians the slip,
and to live on the game in the Black Hills,
Indian fashion, while engaged in prospect
tng." The chances are that if this party of
miners are permitted to leave on this fool
hardy enterprise they will never return, for
the Sioux Indians, by hundreds make the
sheltered valleys of those Black Hills their
winter quarters.

SENATOR ANTHONY, of Rhode Island the ed
itor of the Providence Jo,un1l in alluding to
the HERALD as ga paper which has an i'm
mense circulation" says that ''as an indicator
and mover OF public opinion it is entitled to
the serious attention of all who understand
the American public" For this reason the
Senator controverts the HERALD argument in
favor of national convention at much length,
and with temper SO judicious and admirable
that we must commend 1t to the bowling ours
who lie around the administration kennels
and imagine when they bark they speak the
Presidents sentiments. We may have occa-
sion to dwell more at length upon the views
of the Senator, but just now we advance this
polnt:--"How much better will the Union be
if we permit the success of Southern repudia-
ton than it would have been if we had been
defeated in the rebellion And how can We
better avoid this danger than by nationa
convention of peace and reconstruction tc
consider all these questions and determine
them?"

ONLY REPUBLICANS OR BoNAPABTIsTs. Jules
Simon, who was a member of Gambetta' s
Government Of National Defence, says that the
monarchy in France is impossible that the
nation comprises only republicans and Bona
partists. This fact has been apparent to the
outside world for some time--that is, since
the rigid orders of exclusion against the Bona
parties from the government of President
Theirs and his vigilance in his efforts to sup
press the imperialists They gained strength
from his prosecutions, and the remembrances
of the splendors glory, prosperity and in
ternal peace Of the Empire have been steadily
growing stronger under President MacMahon.
The Bourbons have now become a mere
makeweight as between republicans and Bona.
partists. The contest is between the Republic
and the Empire, and the republican party in
France is sounder and stronger at this time
than it was ct any other time in it's eventtu
history.

The Proposed Republican Convention.

The Republican National Congressional
Committee have agreed to aid and support
the call for a convention of the republicans of
the Southern States, to meet at Atlanta, Ga,
on the 18th of October. 1t has been decided,
too, that the most thoughtful wise and fair
minded men of the party shall be appointed
as delegates to said Convention, the object
being to set forth to the nation the true con-
dition of the South, and to show the wants
and to suggest the reforms necessary to secure
o perfect reconstruction of those States on the
basis Of the new amendments of the constitu-
ton. Prominent republicans of all sections
are engaged in forwarding the movement, and
it is expected that President Grant, Vice
President Wilson and other distinguished
national officials will attend the Convention.
By very large portion of the people of the
United States, including all the political ele-
ments opposed to the party in power, the OBJ
lection will doubtless be made against this
Convention that it will be only party affair
for party purposes, regardless Of the rights or
wrongs of the Southern people. In our judg
ment. however, this Convention will at least
be STEP and an lmportant step, IN tne Work
of ascertaining the true character and extent
of the political and social troubles in the
Southern States, and their causes and the
remedies required If the opposition elements
of those States find from the representations
of this republican Convention that their mo-
tives, objects and acts are outrageously falsi-
fed, can they not set themselves right before
the country through an anti-republican con-
vention of said States? Weighing the law,
the facts and the testimony which would ba
thus furnished on both sides, we cannot doubt
that all parties would be brought to pretty
clear understanding Of the actual necessities
of the States concerned. For the reason, too,
that this coming party Southern Convention
may open the way to national no-party con-
vention for the same objects we have no OBJ
lection to enter against the movement

The War in Cuba.

From Spanish sources we learn that two
fights have lately occurred with the insur-
gents. It is almost needless to add that in
both the Spaniards were completely victori-
ous, and the insurgents if not de-
stroyed, so dispersed that we shall not hear of
them for week or two again. One combat
took place in the Cinco Villas, where the
Cuban patriots charged with the machete,
evidently having no powder and ball. 1t is
well known that within the past year many
gallant soldier has fallen, owing TO the alb
solute want of munitions among the insur-
gents, and yet no adequate efiortseems to be
made to supply the need by those Cubans out
side the Spanish dominions who could aid
their countrymen If they would. In the
Eastern Department General Calixto Garcia
is reported to have fallen. If this is true the
cause of Cuban independence hos indeed re-
cieved severe but nota fatal blow. Could
the men who have SO long maintained

the necessary military supplies there
would be no danger that the struggle for 'nds-
pendence would be abandoned. But even tho
rudest courage must sink when exposed TO at
tack without the possibility of defence. In
committing tho death sentence OF three cap
tured rebel prisoners the Havana authorities
show signs Of returning good sense. ms
action is not merely humane; it is wise, ana
If persevered in may lead to the pacihcation
of the island.
