There is going to be some fun in Cuba before
Christmas. Spain has just embarked large
number of her soldiers for that island, and the
patriot Cubans are working assiduously to
make room for their graves. Death is so GER
tain to those who leave the shores of Spain to
fight for the throne in the West Indies that
they make all the necessary preparations
before setting out, the same as a murderer
does before leaving his cell for the gallows.

=
The Yaxkton Press and Dakotaian is
emphatic in opposition to the Sioux City
and Pembina railroad, and strongly urges
the people of Sioux Falls and other plac-
cs along the route of the latter road to
give it noaaid, but instead to throw their
influence in favor Of a road running
across from St!Paul to Yankton. Having
secured railroad connection via Sioux
City, and haying gained both prominent
growth and stability therctrom, its pco-
pie are afraid that like benefit to Sioux
Falls would cnsuc With like connections
and therefore scltishly seeks to retard the
growth of Dakota city which from its
artificial advantages may some day over
shadow the present capital of Dakota.
This is the view held by the Sioux
zcityHTimes. There is something novel
and refreshing in the idea that Yankton
has gained prominence ETC., from its
railroad connection with Sioux CITY, but
we are not prepared to deny it. We
rather incline to the belief that the con
slant war waged by that burg TOWARD
lankton and its interests has tended tt
unite and strengthen our people, and b,
so doing has been beneficial to us.

THE DOMESTIC GRowLER.--Look at him
he is curiosity. He was pleasant enough
an hour ago, as he sat in his Office talking to
Jones. With his chair tilted back. the toes
of his boots resting against the mantle-piece,
his mouth extended into guffaw, in reply to
one of Jones' yarns you would have said he
was one of the jolliest fellows in the world
But he does not look SO now. He considers it
bad domestic policy to come home looking
smiling aud cheerful, it would not only lower
his dignity as master Of the house, bat it
would encourage his wife and children to the
asking of all sorts Of favors, and running into
goodness knows what cxtrayagances. The
only way, he believes to keep up proper sys-
tenn of household authority and reduce house
hold expenditure to its certain limits is to al
ways find fault, and never relax from system
of domestic snubbing OF course the coming
home of the growler is not looked for with
joy. All pleasant influences take wing The
very atmosphere is charged with depressing
or explosive influences.

AN AWFUL SToRY.-There was once an
awful little girl who had an awful way of say
ing lawful " to everything. She lived in an
awful house, in awful street, in an awful vii
lage, which was an awful distance from any
other awful place. She went to an awful
school, where she had an awful teacher who
gave her awful lessons out of awful books
Every day she was SO awful hungry that she
ate an awful amount Of food, 80 that she look
ed awful healthy. Her hat was awful small,
and her feet were awful large. She went to
an awful church, and her minister was an aw-
full preacher. When she took an awful walk,
she climbed awful hills and when she got
awful tired, she sat down under awful trees to
rest herself. In Summer she found the
weather awful hot, and in Winter awful cold.
When it didn't rain, there was an awful
drought ; and when the awful drought was
over, there was an awful rain. So that this
awful little girl was all the time in an awful
state and If she don't get over saying /" aw
full " about everything, am afraid she will
by and by come to an awful " end.

SAcRIFIcrAL CURES bath of blood has
been frequently employed to resuscitate ex-
hausted patients. When Caesar Borgia barely
survived swallowing his share of the poisoned
wine which his respectable father, Pope Alex
ander vi, had intended for the nine Cardi-
nals but took by mistake for himself and his
son, an OK was brought into CAESARS apart
ments and disc mboweled, to enable him to get
into it and receive such vitality as the warm,
bleeding carcass might impart. We are here
at the point where sacrifcia1 medicine as
sumes the vicarious form, and the poor brutes
are made to suffer instead of the human pa
tients for the benefit of the latter. In an ac-
count of the birth of the Duo de Bourgogne,
grandson of Louis XIV, in the Curiosites
Historiques, Up. 4S, amid the description of
the raptures of the splendid court assembled
on the occasion, there is a casual mention of
an incident affording wonderful contrast to
all this royal joy and magnificence. The at
tendant chief accoucher, the celebrated DR..
Clement, to prevent suffering on the part Of
the mother, (the Dauphine,) applied to her
person the skin of a sheep, newly fayed. To
obtain this quite fresh, a butcher was engaged
to skin the animal alive in the adjoining room;
and being anxious to offer the skin as quickly
as possible to the doctor, he carried it into
the chamber of the Dauphinc, leaving the
door open. The sheep, in its agony, followed
him, and ran in bleeding and skinless among
the shrieking crowd of courtiers and grandees.
In modern times worse things than these are
done to animals, professedly for the benefit of
mankind but they are now performed quietly
in physiological laboratories, not paraded in
public, else it is to be believed that even the
most selfish among us would cry, Hold we
desire no cure of disease, no scientific know
ledge, at any such horrible price. "-CornAill.

To REMOVE MILDEw.--Make weak sou-
ton of chloride of lime in water about a
heaped up teaspoonful to quart of water)
strain it carefully and dip the spot on the gar
ment into It and if the mildew does not dis
appear Immediately, lay it in the sun for a

done, and the chloride of lime neither rots the
cloth nor removes delicate colors when suffi-
cient diluted and the articles rinsed afterwards
in clear water.

POETRY.
FADING.

The past Is fading, fading.
Never to come back again
The cypress tree is shading
Half the sunny plain.
Unchanged wot, is each wel-known scene,
Not branch shows new in the hedgerow green,
Just so the lark from the meadow sprung,
When life and alike were young;
Just so the primrose heedd to light.
Yet Natures self peryading,
Is the sense of something gone;
The Past is fading, fading,
And the wheel of Time rolls on
The Past is fading fading,
And gathered in its hold,
Its mighty pinions laden,
Is much we priced of old.
The grass grows rank DER many grave
OF the young and joyous and gay and brave;
Many a well-known voice is hushed,
Many golden hope is crushed,
Many happy dream is over,
With smile of kindred, friend and lover.
The Past is fading, fading
The blood runs cold and Slow
Harsh wisdom is degrading
The creeds of long ago.
The Past is fading, fading,
We cling and pray In vain,
Where the cypress tree is shading
The tombs of all the slain.
Slain by the years and put aside,
The darlings of love, the idols of pride,
One by one the frail links part,
Hand drops from hand and heart from heart
One by one the sweet things given
To brighten earth go back to Heaven.
Till love and life peryading,
Signs the sense of something gone
And the Past is fading, fading,
And the wheel of Time rolls on.
