Cuba still bleeds. In the face of over
ten thousand outrages committed by daylight;
in the face of Q myriad of unheard-of crimes
committed under cover OF night and spain's
dark power; in the face OF daily recurring
scenes of cold-hearted brutality, the world
stands by and gazes on with cool indifference.

the pineapple and the golden-green banana.

Senator Sargent, -'of California, suggests
the name of Senator Frelinghuysen, of New
Jersey, as the next Republican candidate for
President. Senator Frelinghuysen Is one Of
the purest men In the nation, as well as q man
of large capacity. Were he ichosen as Pres
dent Grants successor, the country might i'm
plicitly rely upon having an honest admins
tration of the laws. Frelinghuysen is q popu-
lar man, and is particularly prominent as the
second man on the ticket.
General John B. Gordon said among other
things the other day, "that as an excuse for
the preparation of many of the outrages that
had been heaped upon the people Of the South,
the Radicals gave out that we were disloyal--

billion or so OF cocoons in the city, and that
each cocoon will issue five hundred editions of
the caterpillar, making in all five hundred

animals will creep and crawl through their
households seeking whom they may devour.
Right on the heels of the Brooklyn scandal it
is mean to start such fear-creating rumor,
for sudden shock to nervous systems already
weary nigh unto death may prove fatal.

writing to the Miner describes It as follows !,

G. Peck discovered on War Eagle creek, in the
foothills, at the base of the Bradshaw noun

which carried mineral, and which had probably
been passed over by thousand prospectors

these lodges he found a crevice Of two feet in
width which disclosed gray sulphide of silver
and other mineral beneath the groupings; and
some of the ore being brought to Prescott, 1t

judges to be Of the very highest grade of silver
ore-as good as that taken out of the Eber-

lodges has been traced for nearly four thou

lodges form one large and valuable mine, at
