were gloomy beyond anything that

Stanton, with some feeling, remarked
that no order TO that effect bad been
issued from the War Department.
The President calmly, but with some
emphasis, said the order was his, and
he would be responsible for it to the
country. With retreating and de-
moralized army tumbling in upon us,
and alarm and panic in the communi-

said, that something should be done,

MIND YOUR STOPS.

The omission of a comma has fire.
quently given a very awkward turn
to sentence. We remember an ep-
itaph which suffered severely from
such an oversight. 1t ran pretty
much as follows;
Erected to the memory Of John
Philips, accidentally shot as n mark
of affection by his brother"
A printer, meddling with the yer-
dict Of a Coroner's jury, struck out a
comma after the word "apoplexy,
making it read thus;
Deceased came to his death by
excessive drinking, producing apo
plexy in the minds of the jury"
A correspondent introduces apiece
of poetry to the editor Of an Ameri-
can newspaper in these words:
"The following lines were written
fifty years ago by one who has for
many years slept in his grave merely
for his amusement"
A Gamma at "grave" would have
;endered the sentence, at all events,
comprehensive, though nothing
would eface its absurd diction.

DEATH OF A SPIRITUALIsT.-On
Sunday evening, Nov. 10th, at the
Atheneum Assembly Rooms, in Bir-
mingham, a Spirituallstic service was
being held, and in the course of it a
medium named Benjamin Hawkes., a
toy dealer of New street, addressed
the meeting. He spoke for fully half
an hour, appearing to be in his usual
health, and then be described, with
startling yividity, seaace in which

There was great excitement, for the

BARBARITY OF THE CuBANs.

The New York Herald of the 7tll
inst. contains a letter from Santiago
de Cuba to well known broker Of
New York, relating the details OF
the murder of Masons in Cuba, and
the brutal treatment inflicted upon
their surviving families. The name
Of the writer is suppressed, as his life
would probably pay the forfeit should
the authority Of the communication
be traced by the Spanish authorities.
The Letter states that the Grand
Lodge in 1869 met in Santiago de
Cuba, according to a custom which
had never been interfered with by
the government, although the time
and place of meetings was well un-
derstood. At the time referred to,
however, the Lodge was informed
thatarrests would be made, and that
ifAny resistance was made to the
free entrance of officers and troops,
they would burn the building and all
those within. The Grand Lodge,
therefore, held its session with open
doors, and its members were arrest
ed and imprisoned on the following
morning; although promised trial,
they were taken outside of the city
and shot without one. The families
Of these men were tried for their
Masonic offences, their property con-
fiscated, and they declared paupers,
while the populace was forbidden
under pain of Imprisonment to rem
der them any assistance. Left desti-
tute and unable to leave the iurisdic-
ton of Santiago de Cuba, the help
less creatures sought refuge in the
woods near by and became o COM
mon family.
The inhuman and barbarous treat
ment visited upon the women and
children are represented as outrage
GUS and cruel beyond description or
the belief of civilized people. They
were accused o4Rleeds in which they
had no part, bioodhounds were set
upon them by which they were mu-
tilated and often killed, others died
of starvation or exposure, and of the
three hundred who lived in 1869, but
thirty or forty remain. An attempt
was made by the Volunteers and the
crew Of the Tornado to exterminate
this remnant of outraged humanity. |
On the night of the festivities in eel
ebration Of the capture of the Virgin
ius and the murders of the occasion,
three men fired with liquor and the
spirits of tiends, started with their !
hounds to the further prosecution of
their victims in the woods, and after
wards boasted on the streets Of the
violence to which they had subject
ed the women and children, some of
the latter being only ten years of age.
Nine of them had died and others
were in agony of untold suffering. |
The letter concludes with an appeal
to the United States to do something
in the cause of humanity; to petition
the government to bring some inhu-
ence to bear by which the prosecuted |
victims of Spanish barbarism can be
got out of the country, or by some
means relieve their sufferings.

Wterd Legend OF the baltimore Locks
There is a sadSnd weird story O
/ an oyster-eater, which still floati
: around the wharves of Baltimore
where oyster-boats do congregate
, One morning, twas years ago, the
{ sloop Martha Mary came from some
oyster-bed on the Chesapeake, lader
gunnel deep with prime oysters, and
, was moored safely alongside a Balti-
more wharf. The skipper, pleased
with the prospects of his voyage,
lounged on the wharf awaiting q
customer. There came to this Cap
tain lean, lank and sallow-faced
man, who said i'll u cavernous voice,
"I would eat some oysters" "Plenty
on board there" was the bluff reply.
"But who would pay for what /
ca" interposed the stranger. "All
right, go aboard, eat your fill for a
quarter. cheerily replied the skip
per, for in those early times oysters
were worth not more than Is cents a
bushel. "Willingly," said the thin
man, producing with alacrity the old
Spanish quarter with the pillars on
it, the coin of that time, and drawing
a large rusty oyster-knife from his
pocket. Then the thin man opened
the hatch of the little vessel and
dived below.
The Captain went to his breakfast.
The meal over, he returned to his
sloop deck. Below he heard the
measured click of an oyster-knife. -
He thought little about it, only said;
''He has good appetite" Oysters
were not rapid Of sale that day, as
two moro oyster smacks had come in,
and purchasers were slack. "Makes
no matter" said the Captain, "the
weather is cold, them oysters is
sound and they will keep in prime
order for q week." The Captain
went to dinner. Again he paced
his little vessels deck, and still he
heard the monotonous, incessant
'click, " "click, from below, work
ing away with mechanical regularity.
Anxiously, then, that Captain strobe
along, and was full of fear. As the
sun set, still the click of the oyster
knife was heard. In terror the Cap
fled from his smack, Next morning
as he approached the wharf, still his
affrighted ear heard the click. He
could stand it no longer. Rushing
below, scattering aside whole heaps
of shells, he found the lean, lank.
and cadaverous man, still opening
away at the very bottom of the ves-
sci. "They was good" said the
cadayerous man, swallowing with an
artistic firt a singularly large oyster,
"but scarce as salty as l like ''em; ef
l had cracker or just dash of
vinegar, mebbe l might have enjoy
ed 'em more. See here, Capting,
it's jest case of knife with me. This

attenuated blade, worn now to the
size of small penknife, "waren't |

fill, and saying this he slowly and |
deliberately climbed up the hatch
way, and still lank and lean disap-
peared in the distance. This is the
story of the oyster fiend, as whisper

fessional oyster-openers of Baltimore.

And NOW his own We haa turne.

And now his own wife has turned
against him. That venerable and
much-murTied man, the great Prophet
of the Mormons, seems destined TO
die forsaken. Ann Eliza, his nine
teenth wife, has rebelled against the
authority OF her liege lord, and is
now actually going about to reveal
the secrets Of the family. She says
this prophet is but whited sepul-
cher, and she intends TO proclaim his
wickedness from the Pacific TO the
Atlantic, from Canada to the Gulf.
Ann Eliza is an exception. Eighteen
doting spouses precede her in the
affections Of the too loving Brigham,
and all who live still cling to him
like the ivy to the oak, OF the many
who came after her none has yet
complained. She only Of all the
host has given way to o violent tenn
per and o shrewish tongue. The
proportion is great; one against an
almost counties number, how many
nobody knows, not even Brigham
himself. in proof Of this a story is
told Of an appeal in business matter
made to Brigham by q tidily dressed
woman, with n pretty child about
three years Of age. Said she, "You
don't recognize me?" "No," re-
Piled Brigham, II do not. What is
your name, my good woman?" "Luey
M. Young" she answered, "and /
nm your Wife" 'Indeed," said
Brigham, gazing at her thoughtfully,
"Wben did / marry you?" -Four
years ago this coming March" said
Mrs. Young. Brigham called for his
memorandum book, and upon look
ing over it, said: "Well, that is 80,
You we're my ninety-ffth."
