the coast defenses, and volunteered
their services tn the Seminole war of
1895. The company still preserves its
military organization. and continues
with 1t n societyfor the support of indig-

ebrate their centennial on the 3dday OF
May next, with ceremonies appropri-.

The DESTRUCTION OF PRoPERrl IL
CuBA Vast quantities of property are
being destroyed By War III Cuba. In
Trinidad twelve estates, producing
over eight hundred thousand iihgs
heads Of sugar, have been burned, and
in Villa Clara and Cienfucgos. more
than forty thousand hogsheads OF. the
same commodity have been lost by in
roads of the patriots. To this destruc-
iion of property must be added thai in
Sagua Ia estates, and also the sugar
warehouses at sierra Morena and Car
ahutas, numbering over sixty vast
structures, well filled with sugar wait,
ing for transmission to Havana and
other ports.
GREAT lCE GoRGEs. .-7ln 1SiSa glac-
ier 5000 feet long, GOO feet high, dec-
ended into the valley of the river Drapse
Above it lake was formed which
contained 5000, 000,0 600 gallons of
water. The authorities drove tun-
mel through the ice barrier and
drew nearly half of tfc water safely,
but then the current and thawing had
so enlarged the tunnel that the ice bar
rier gave away, and the other half of
the water was discharged in half an
hour. In 1945 a similar lake was form
ed by the Nernagt glacier. When the
ice barrier gave way 10000, 600 gal
Ions of water was discharged in an hour
In both cases there was an immense
destruction of property and lives.

The workings Of this modern legal
elephant are not al that the citizens,
for whose benefit the law was enact
ed. could desire. Theobstacles which
are thrown in the way to prevent its
enforcement, are some times amusing,
though frequently Objectionable.
This Is The way one Of the Jolly
gentlemen who presides over the Of
fee of Il Cincinnati and Wheeling
packet, circumyensed the majesty Of
the law and lost = couple OF Gus&y
passengers: Just before leaving
Cincinnati On her last trip up, 4
gentleman OF color toting IN aged
carpet sack, stepped up to the clerks
Office and made the important en-
quiyy if dis am a Pittsbcrs packet?
On being answered 10 the contrary,
he impatient!y desired to know where
de beat went? To Wheeling was the
urbme reply. Well what I'm de fare
to Wheeling, want FIST class tick
ct? Twenty dollars said the Clerk,
with 4 gaze rs fixed, and an express
sion as unconcerncd as Minister
Schonk issupposed TO have had when
teaching a LoaJoncr how to hold four
aces in that noble american game Of
Bluff. Twen-ty-lol-lars! exclaimed
the woul&-beiirst ciass pas niger, and
turning sorrowfully away was never
heard CT any more.
This same wicked clerk perpetrat-
ed another at GGl!ipolis, which we
Will note and quit. This time it was
the geatler sex who wanted a cabin
passage and 4 state room in the ladies'
cabin, nowhere else would suit, par
tieq!arly was she opposed to quarters
in that part Of the cabin allotted to
gemmen, but before she paid hcrfarc,
She desired 10 know how long the
boat would remain at the wharf
Upon being notified that an hour
would probably elapse before her de-
parture, the lady stepped ashore to
lid another adieu 10 her friends and
take a las. look st familiar things.
She had but fairly got up the wharf
when the last tap Of the bell was
sounded, the plank hauled in and the
steamer started on her way up, leav-
ing Dinah on the wharf denouncinS
the good-for-nothing white trash and

Mexican Raid.

News from Galveston, Texas, Of
the 9th ult., reports that the Next
cans in large body, have invaded
Texas, and are committing all kinds
of deprcdations, robbing, numbering
and plundering, and burning houses
and towns. They have also took a
large number of American citizens
captive, among them Judge Gilpin.
and two women. They compelled
the captivcs to walk before them IN
til they were exhausted, and then
mounted them on horseback and hur-
ried them across the border. They
robbed and burned the Postofice at
Neuccs, and robbed and took prison
CT one mail carrier. Information re-
ccived from Ncuces county says, the
Mexicans are continually raiding
through the country, robbing, mns-
dering ard driving stock across the
river. They have become so daring
that nearly all travel or the high
ways has ceased. At present there
seems TO be a concerted movementon
the part of these villains to clean up
white men within striking distance
of the Rio Grande, for fifty or seven
ty-fvc miles, and even further, where
ingress and egress can be safely eff
fcctcd.
This matter calls for the immcdi-
ate attention of the Government
While troops are kept in the South
to tyrannize over peaceful, quiet
citizens, our soil is being iyaded
by foreign bandits, and ourcitizens
robbed, murdered and their proper
ty destroyed. Send the troops from
the South, where they are no: need
ed, to Texas, where they are needed
to protect our people from foreign in
cursions into their territory.

4 Few Statistics.

as the county court, upon petition
Of more than one hundred voters,
has re-submitted the question of the
Alternative method CT keeping the
county roads in repair, and which
election is ordered for the Sth day of
October next, we annex below a few
statistics, to help the voter to arrive
at a correct conclusion as 70 whether
it would be best to adopt the
Alternative method or continue
under the old plan. It is an easy
matter to find out the number OF
miles of road in a District, and upon
the basis OF the figures here present
ed, make your calculation. Then
the voter can readily determine as
to which plan viii be the best, cheap
est. and most beneficial to his section.
Under the old system, VIC are inform
ed, it costs from $4,000 to $4,000
a year to keep up the roads, exclu-
siyc of bridge appropriations. It
certainly would cost but little more,
If as much, under the Alternative
system. We give these figures for
what they are worth. They are as
follows:

Tur Fr7rgy OF THE NATIONAL

TIE Future OF THE NATIONAL
Observation-Disclosures, writes cor
respondent, VIII some time be asplen-
did city. AL its changes are now
improvements in the right direction;
there is an immense amount of build
ing going on, and expensive laying
out of the public grounds. The
changesin thestreets are probably pc
culiar to Washington, for noothercity
could ever have been forced to make
such. The streets were originally Of
such great width that when the time
for paving them came-people sub
mitted for years TO almost fathomless
mud-the city found the expense al
together too great to be horne, and
so made a plan for extensive park
Ing, or planting doublerow Of trees
alongthe centre, and paving thesides;
this was af.erward given up. And
the similer plan adopted OF moving
all the fences and throwing the sup
er fuous width ofstreet into the front
wards of the abutters; so those have
wards who neyerhM before, and those
who always had now have the more.
The open spaces, or reservations, as
they are called in Washington, are
very large, and would have delighted
the heart of Sir Arthur Helps, who
pleads 50 earnestly in his last book
for Just such spaces. There are the
generous grounds of the Capitol, and
those of the Smithsonian adjoining
the gardens of the White House, and
many small parks, besides the great
streets and avenues for air and light;
and now there is talk of i beautiful
and extensive water park or the
banks of the Potomac.

The Alabama Legislature, just be,
fore adjournment, passed a law with,
drawing the license tax from hotels,
and allowing them to makecontrac
with boarders as a boarding-house
may do. The hotels in Alabama are
not inns, but boardiag-houses, and
consequently are-not within the puf-
view Of the Civil Rights Bill. This
will be n serious disadvantage to The
travelling public in that State by re-
leasing hotels from responsibility as
insurers, and viii deprive the ex-
landlords OF important privileges,
such as that of . lien on baggage
But this is one Of hclegitimate fruits
Of the outrageous Civil Rights Bill.

very good ones naturally, and even
this I think doubtful, but it would
be death to those haring numerous
highways and naturally rough and
difficult ones TO keep up. Since at
present each District keeps its own
roads up, and those having good
roads and few of them, can easily
keep them so under the old law, it
does not seem right to Cypress our
neighbors in poorer and less fostu-
nate districts, BY adopting an e1-
pensiye method.
This principle Of keepingup roads
by Districts, let me say right here, |
believe to be wrong. There is TOO
much Of q community of interests in
a county for one District to say to
another awe have no interest in your
roads, keep them up the best you can
and We win keep ours up" By the
same reasoning We would soon reach
the custom of Independent roads,
working upon and keeping up only
the road upon which we happened
to live or to use the most, and this /
am sure would be bad state Of af-
fairs. If nature and Circumstances
enable one section to have good roads
with little expense, then We should
all the morewillingly help cur neigh
