BRITISH vs.. AMERICAN IRoN.-The ca
BILE account of the wreck of the Schiller
states that she thumped four times on
the rocks, and then settled down. The
divers who have examined her say that
her hull is confused mass Of broken
meterial The Schiller was built of
British iron. at one of the oldest and
most important ship-yards on the Clyde.
The sudden destruction of this splendid
ocean steamer is in strong contrast with
the experience of steamers built Of
American Iron. The Wilmington and
the Juniata, with full cargos on board,
thumped four hours on the Florida
Reefs, and came off with scarcely any
injury. They both proceeded Oh their
voyages, and afterward had the plates
which were bent "rerolled cold" and
replaced. American iron bends under
conditions where British ship plates
break. The tensile strength Of Ameri-
can ship plate will eventually lead to its
expectation to Europe, or else the trans
fer of iron ship building to the United
States. The loss of the Schiller will
serve as powerful impetus in this move
ment.

THE BROOKL EAGLE

few weeks ago the Eagle noticed the
existence OF the City of Phoebe, which
il situated on the western borders OF
Brigham Young's dominions, three hun
dred miles from a railroad. 1t appears
that we were not sufficiently Mandatory

ton taken by the editor of the Phoebe

istence Of Phoebe, even though we must be con-
tent to grope along without that cheering phase
of civilization exeinplifed in Brooklyn scandals
and other social vagaries which our mountain
air would not admit OF.
II is hoped that when Phoebe rises suf-
Gciently in the scale OF civilization To
make scandals and vagaries possible, ii
will profit by Brooklyn's happy example.
AT present 1t is in no danger from them.
The people OF Phoebe, when they got
their town under way, started that civic
necessity, a graveyard. To do so man
had first to be strangled. and the records
of the case do not show the cause thereof.

The Brooklyn editor must be inspired,
for he certainly betrays intimate knowl-

we believe, Phoebe must plead guilty

It is noticeable and gratifying fact
that the entire American press are COM
mending as most favorable the rumored
recognition of Cuba's belligerent rights
by our Government on the frat Of next
January. Cuba's struggle for freedom
resembles in some respects the fight of
the American Colonists against the
mother country century ago. They
too have been battling for seven years.
Spain, like England, has been eending
mercenary and brutal soldiery to fight
against their own countrymen, and as
the thirteen American Colonies formed
their own provisional Government so
the Cubans have organized Govern
ment. administered justice and main
tanned civil order. We would rejoice to

MosD.--"Th First Spiritual Society oil
Richmond, Va.," undeterred by the recent
exposure of Katie King aud other luminarleS
in the spiritualistic frmaneni, have issued an
address to call persons desiring to inyesti-
gate the phenomena" The address is signed
George w. Swan (president) and I. j. Bar
net, and they say: /" Having witnessed for
the last four years many remarkable mani
festations under, such circumstances that
fraud was impossible, we are convinced that
'men commune with angels that spiritual
communion has untolded to us truths that
cannot be doubted by reasoning aud un-
prejudiced mind. 1t has given us more in
telectual light, closer conception of our
future life. and more exalted idea of God
than all things else. 1t constantly points out
the beauties Of pure and holy life. Il
leads us through difficulties, consoles the a.
flicied, lightens our burdens, and draws us
nearer 20 God"
In inviting people to join them they say I:
nWe. deem it proper to say that '6e are

Bible to be of divine origin. 1t is the duty
OF all men to search after truths, especially
those pertaining to their spirit ual welfare
