The Best Ever Known.

People we're beginning to think the ne

death of some of the early artists and
managers in that line. 1t had degener-

such inferior hands that decent people
avoided il, land the audiences were generally
composed of rowdy, vulgar men and boys. |
But it has been left for Jack Haverly to
revive the cork profession and give
the country entertainments exceeding any
thing ever known in that line. Haverly
is not minstrel by profession. He is
gentlemen who has an eye to business and
who has the ability to organize company
on higher principles than such companies
have heretofore known. He is gentle
man of Intelligence and taste, and can rec
ognize talent and reject mediocrity and
rowdyism, He has the ability aud the
nerve to do it. Good habits, talent and
gentlemanly ways are required, to remain IN
his employ. Actors who have only CON-
mon ability can not keep situations with
him. And refined people can visit his
entertainments without being Disguised, or
having their self-respect Inundated. Every
person in his employ wears Excelsior" as
e his motto. The entertainment last even

will the shadows be lifted tomorrow
Does the sun ever shine in vain?
And the clouds that are loud in their sorrow.
VIII they ever cease weeping again?
Will the fields ever put on their greenness,
And the flowers bloom sweet as before
will the sky in its bluest sereneness,
Look smilingly on us once more?
Will the shadows be lifted tomorrow
From my heart in its grief, storm rent9
Will hope. the kind soother OF sorrow.
With her bow of promise be seen9
will the valves of my lifs's troubled foun-
tains
Ever cease in their ebb and fiow7
viii the shadows that darken by pathway
Be scattered like phantoms Of woe?
All yes, will the shadows be lifted
From the hilltop and valley and plain;
And life-giving sunshine and gladdess
Replenish the drear earth again?
And then will tho weeping Of nature
Be hushed by the joy giving ray,
And the beauty of sunset as ever.
Be the lovliest hour Of day,
All yes, will the shadows be lifted
From my pathway so dreary and lone,
And the dark, dun cloSlds be rifted
Aud the wines cease their pitiless moan.
Though walk amid darkness and shadows,
One promise unfailidg is mine;
I know in future tomorrow
About me one love will entwinc.

UNITED STATES RELATIONS
WITH CUBA.
A British View Of the Situation.

There never was time in which
the American people were less dis
posed to NEEDLE in their neighbors'
affairs. 1t is not that the United
States are afraid Of Spain, feeble rs
she is, distracted by rebellion at
home, and overwhelmed with debt.
The Americans think that they could
sweep the Spaniards out Of the An
TILES in month. Very probably
they are justified in believing this,
nor do they conceal their belief.
But, though they feel thus confident
in their strength if war should unfor-
tunately be forced upon them, they
are not, in one sense, prepared for
war, and are decidedly not prepared
in any sense for the complication of
difficulties, political and social,
which, even after a war crowned with
all imaginable successes, would meet
them in Cuba. The forbearance with
which the Government of Washing
ton has treated Spain during the long
provocations of the Cuban difficulty
is, therefore, easily to be explained,
though it contrasts sharply with the
language of sympathy which the
popular organs of American opinion
employ in speaking of the insurrec
ton, and not less with the notorious
ambition of the Southern States in
years gone by. = The Cuban
rebellion is scandal to Spain, but it
is, moreover, nuisance to the neigh
bors of the unfortunate colony which
Spain is seemingly unable either to
conquer or to abandon. Every
country when the commercial rela-
tiuns with the Antilles is veXed and
hampered by this tedious strite-our
own West Indian possessions have
great reason to complain, but the
greatest annoyance is INFLICTED on the
United States, at whose very doors
the spaniards and Cubans have been
slowly exchanging brutalities for the
last six or seven years. More than
once the which those who wage
it pretend not to recognize as war
has gone near to involving Spain in
trouble, and, probably, if she had
been less pitiably feeble, she would
before now have drawn upon her the
anger of one of the maritime powers
by her reckless and as yet futile ef-
forts to suppress the resistance of her
Cuban subjects.-London Times, Oc-
tober 10th.
