THE SPANISH ANACONDA,

Cuba, though somewhat toploftically desig-
mated by loyal Spaniards 1.-The Ever Faithful
ISLE" might with much more truth and pro-
priety be called the Spanish Anaconda, for it
has developed an ability to devour human
beings that might make forty millions of real
anacondas turn green from envy. Year after
year Spain sends out her veteran legions to
Cuba-ten thousand and more at a time
to thrash the rebels into submission to the
mother country, or to grind them into finest
powder if they persist in their determine
ton to be free. Year after year the rebels
refuse to submit, and still worse, not only re-
fuse to be ground into powder but actually
go to the length of attacking and beating
the national troops. BY and by the fevers
which infest the island, the hardships en-
dured by the soldiers and the bullets of the
patriots, pretty effectually extinguish the
send over another set of soldiers
to be gobbled up by the great Anaconda Just
as the innumerable hosts that preceded the NJ
were.
telegram from M.drid, dated 18th inst,
inform us that the government intends send
ing ten thousand more men to Cuba Now the
question for the United States to determine
and for the civilized world to determine, il,
how long this dreadful sacrifice of human life
can be permitted to go on. Despite the
stories circulated by the Spanish authorities
the rebels seem to be quite as able to main
tain themselves now as at any previous
period of the war, and it is both a shame and
scandal that, almost within sight OF our
own shores the most dreadful cruelties should
be permitted to be enacted from year to year
upon men who are simply struggling for the
right of elf-government-for the privilege
of being Free The time is not far distant
when the Government of the United States
will be compelled by the force of public SEN
timent to put a stop to the useless shedding
of human blood upon the beautiful but
war; cursed Isle of Cuba

THE OWL CLUB.
The unco righteous is a foo,
The unco wise anither.

The unco wise anither.
There is nothing like association to de
yelope force and to render it efficient. w
have in our midst great number of mel
who are, in their own estimation, wise. The.
are for the most part ready TO give advice Il
all sorts of people on all manner of subjects
their excellence consisting chiefly in under
standing any citizens business better than ht
does himself. Their opinions, consisting o.
the Installations of facts, combined with ak
IONS and everlasting truths, are fixed and'un'
changeable. Statements and theories, after
passing through their infallible mental alem-
bic, must come forth perfectly purified.
These wise men might greatly enlarge their
influence and potency by forming guild into
which every wise man should be admitted
upon the payment of moderate fee of initia-
ton, no other test of wisdom being required
than his own opinion. As for a name, since
the broad-eyed nocturnal owl was sacred to
Pallas Minerva, goddess of wisdom, and was
the emblem of reflection and profound
thought, we suggest that this association of
the wise be called the "Owl Club" and hold
its meetings after
The gaudy, babbling and remorseful day
Is crept into the bosom OF the sea,
when "the crow makes wing to the rocky
wood" and when scare only wakes and
moping pensiveness."
A candidate for admission should require
no recommendation, and the only question
to be asked as a test of fitness should be:
"Do you think yourself wise man ?" An
affirmative answer being given, he should be
introduced and seated.
1t should be one Of the leading rules of the
Owl Club that no member should at any time
demand Of another member reasons or facts
in support of any opinion he may utter
Each should obligate himself not to disturb
the pet theories and opinions of his brother
Owls, but to batter down every other mans
hobbies on all available occasions.
The chief purpose of the formation of the
Owl Club would be to multiply opportunities
for giving gratuitous and unmasked advice.
As two or more members might sometimes
concur in opinion, they would both seek the
same victim and increase his respect for the
wisdom of both. The club would keep q
directory of the names and address of those
who can be imposed upon, and from time to
time the members might in succession, re-
late in full meeting the opinions rendered and
their effect
Various other methods of enhancing
the enjoyment of superior wisdom would
be suggested by experience. Perhaps some
valuable hints would be taken from the
constitution and bylaws of the Artesian So
ciety by which the distribution of spontane-
Gus wisdom could be made a bore to others as
well as pleasure to the Owls themselves.
Of course the members of the club would
be men independent of all business, and who,
therefore, would have ample leisure to attend
to the business of their neighbors.

income of 3d. francs. In addition, Car
dinal Patrizi has 10000 francs as Cardinal
Vicar of Rome and an equal sum from his

vate fortune. Cardinal Amat draws 10, 900
francs from his enormous benefces; he pos
sesses, besides, immense estates. Cardinal
di Pietro receives $4,000 francs as Bishop of
ALBANIA, and an equal sum is allowed to him
by Portugal Cardinal Sacconi has similar

Alfred Caps. the supposed negro murderer
of Mr.. Masdexexarts, was captured about II
A. NJ. Saturday. at the Dryades Market, by
Sergeant Slabowski and Officer Mooney.

asleep at the time the deed was committed
that, having been offered work about four
miles from the city, he went the morning
after the murder and returned Friday evening
to the city, where he would not have come if
he had been guilty.

The contest in Ohio would appear to be
rather one-sided, judging by the following
which we take from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
at is unnecessary to argue the question.
The election of Allen is conceded by the most
intelligent men in this end of the State.
Against him there are no wagers worth
taking" Referring to the same subject the
Republican =" anti-in fation," too remarks ::
" One fact is worth remarking, viz: that the
Republicans are actually tame and spiritless
in their speeches, while the Democrats alon e
exhibit enthusiasm and aggressiveness The
indications at present are stro ngly in favor of
the latter, but there is no conjecturing what
may turn up between now and the day Of
election. -NashuiUe Banner.

"Young gentlemen" said the Judge, 81
want to say thing or two to you. You have
passed as good an examination as usual, per-
haps better; but you don't know anything.
Like those young fellows just back from their
graduation at college, you think you know a
great deal. It's great mistake. Ii you ever
get to be any account, you will be surprised
your present ignorance.

LEVY, THE CoRNET PLAYER.-Mr. George
Atkins in a conversation with reporter OF
the New York Sua, gave the following bit OF
information concerning Levy, the great cornet
player:
Il can remember when Levy, the cornet
player, had not whole pair of trousers. His
father. tobacconst, lived on one side of an
archway in poor quarter of London, and my
folks on the other. l often wished that young
Levy aud his cornet, which hs was always
playing were in Australia, or a warmer place.
The neighborhood was mainly Jewish, an
on certain Good Friday, upon my honor,
their houses fell into ruins. A tempest may
have been to lane, but the CHRISTIANS there
about attributed the destruction to the wrath
OF God Levy is now drawing $500 week,
and is famous. To his honor, be it said, his
old father is well cared for

CHASING Cara friend of ours chased
a cat across the back yard with knot of stove
wood, the other night. He didn't hit the cat,
but he caught the clothas line in his mouth,
and when he gathered up the slack he nearly
unshipped his spine. When he smiles now
he has to hold the corners of his mouth out
OF his ears with his fingers.

Affairs are growing serious at Fall River,
Mass among the 10 900 mill operatives who
have chosen to remain idle rather than work
at reduced wages. Public sentiment seems
to have taken sides against the strikers, and
the grocery and provision merchants have
taken a stand which will either shorten the
strike or precipitste a violent conflict. They
refuse to allow the idle workmen to run up
bills at their stores, on the ground that people
who can afford to voluntarily quit work tor
month can afford to pay cash for family
supplies. The citizens in general will, it is
said, oppose any extension of municipal relief
TO the operatives beyond that absolutely ne
cessary to prevent starvation, and the mill
owners are firm in their determination to re-
sist the attempt to force them to TERMS
Exchange.

Herald says anent the "pull-baek dresses"
This year the woman is complete. She
wears less clothes than ever, and has more
covering, less braid, but there IS more glory
in her hair; no more height, but she is ex-
allied; more colors, but what is like her own
We think we understand it is currency con-

the species.

The following incident in the life of Nine.
Mac Mahon is related. In the middle of the
winter of 1888 fire broke out in the female
seminary at Limoges, France, and spread with
such rapidity that it was feared all the in
mates would perish. Suddenly there was q
cry that one little girl had been left in her
room. AS the excited spectators were begin
ming to pray for the unfortunate child, a tall
girl, with disheveled blonde hair and flowing
ing nightgown, cut through the crowd, and,
with q shrek of 'TIl save her" that rose
above the sound of the cracking timbers and
falling masonry, dashed into the doorway. A
loud hurrah that was prolonged to the echo
only to be repeated again, attracted the atten-
ton of the deyotees, and the pale-faced girl was
seen skipping through the flames with the terri
fed child A few days thereafter King Louis
PHILIPPE sent the heroine gold medal for her
bravery, and a captain of the French army
who had with essed the girls pluck, begged
an introduction. The captain is now Presi-
dent of France and the brave girl Nine. Mac
Mahon.

ANDREW JOHNSON.
THE FLAG IN WHICH HE WAR BURIED.
[ From the knoxville Press and Herald ]

From the Knoxville Press and Herald
Major SterI Hambright, though opposed
| in political sentiment to Mr.. johnson, recog
nized in him warm personal friend, and
| feeling a regard and high appreciation for the
| oft-expressed sentiment of the dead states
man, 'to be buried in the flag of his country,
telegraphed yesterday morning to the be-
reaved family that he had flag 6OxS0 feet,
which the family could have to bury the ex-
President in if acceptable.
This is the finest flag in East Tennessee,
and is the Individual property of Major Ham
bright, and the offer speaks well for the es-
TEEN liz which Mr. Johnson was held by his
political opponents.
The flag was captured from Gen. Rosecrans
by Gen. Bragg at Chicamaug4, and taken TO
Richmond. subsequently it was retaken in
the battle before Salisbury, North Carolina,
by Gen. Stoneman's command, with which
Major Hambright was connected as Provost
Marshall, and fell to the possession of Major
Hambright. 1t has since been used on pub
lie occasions at Knoxville, such as decoration
days. etc.
Major Hambright received telegram from
the family of Mr.. Johnson accepting his kind
offer. and the flag has been forwarded with
the request from Major Hambright if that is
too large to answer the purpose, to present it
to Mrs Slower, the daughter of the ex-Presi-
dent, with his regards, in order that the flag
may be as memento in the Johnson family
of the high regard in which the ex-President
was held, and a lasting emblem of his faith
fullness to the Union and the Constitution.

| Making reference to Miss Clara Fisher
| the accomplished vocalist now singing at
Robinson Hall-The Baltimore Sun gives these
facts: "She is niece to the Clara Fisher OF
| fifty years ago, then q brilliant and preco-
cious child actress, and who is yet living, as
| Mrs. Maeder. Her father was for many years
a brilliant hewspaper writer, connected with
The Ne,c Orleans PicdyIne. But with her
mother the strongest local interest is asso-
ciated. She was Elizabeth Jefferson, daught-
er of the first Joseph Jefferson, and a most
celebrated actress, the first to play, Pauline, in
the Lady of Lyons, in America, and esteemed
in her early life the best juvenile actress on
the American stage.
"She was born in Baltimore, and married
early in life Samuel Chapman, who was
grandfather to the Chapman sisters by an
earlier marriage After his death, leaving her
widow at eighteen years Of age, she became
Mrs Richardson, her husband, a Beati morean,
diving by an accident, ike her former hus-
band After some years she married Charles
B. Fisher She il still living and returns to
Baltimore after an absence of thirty years to
live with her daughter who is engaged pro-
fessionally to Mr. Ford for the coming season.
1t is proposed to add here that Mrs. Vernon,
the famous old woman actress, once at the
Holiday, and for many years at Walack's,
was sister TO Mrs Fisher. Mrs. Gormon and
Mr. Joseph Jefferson are niece and nephew of
Mrs. Fisher As a singer the latter was IN
rivaled on the dramatic stage, aud to her
tuition her daughter Clara owes her present
success. "-Erchange

The Firemen's Picnic.

On Sunday Washington Garden was
crowded by the Thirty-Eights and
their friends and the day passed pleas
antly. The firemen We're present in
uniform and many ladies graced the
occasion. At half-past one O'clock,
Piepenberg's two bands struck up the
music for the dance and the lovers of
terpsichorean exercises repaired to the
new dance hall in the grape arbor,
where dancing was continued until 8
o'clock in the evening. During the
afternoon two prize foot races were
run. The first was by the gentlemen.
The first prize, a silver goblet, was
won by r. w. Hill, and the second, a
pair of gold sleeve-buttons, by Robert
Eckert. The second race was between
young girls for silver goblet and a
napkin ring and bouquet holder, but
we could not get the names of the
winners. The Wilmington Hook and
Ladder Company were invited to the
picnic, but, not being able to attend
in body, they sent Mr.. Fred Burkle
as their representative.

Fire.

On Sunday about II O'Clock in the
morning, just as the firemen were
commencing to enjoy themselves at
Washington Garden, an alarm of fire
was rung, and the boys had to stop
their fun and get to business in a
hurry. Messer's vineyard had been
fired in five places and the flames
were making sad havoc among fences,
brush and vines. Both companies
made heroic exertions, though the
heat was intolerable and the under
brush burned like tow. The Conf
dence boys, after the fire was under
control, ex cused the Thirty Fights, so
that they could go back and have
their fun out, but stayed on the ground
themselves until five O'clock in the
evening. Mr.. J. y. Smith, Assistant
Foreman of the No. q, had his right
leg badly bruised below the knee, but
was improving yesterday.
