GABB1Na.-B Blessed is the man or
woman who knows enough to keep
his or her mouth shut. Some people
live thirty-ive years (no allusion to
the widow Shelly across the way)
without learning the art. Indeed,
the Older they grow the wider their
mouths open. A man or woman who
is q gabbler at fifty is dreadful
aff1iction to a house, church, a
lodge or a community. There are
two things this age needs to learn
when not to say anything and when
it says anything to say it we'll. At
this moment there comes through
our sanctum door such whirlwind
of words-such Cabling that one
might well suppose flock of geese
had congregated and were discussing
the late Congressional debate with
the "comps." Then we are occa-
sionally visited by some inveterate
gamblers who cause us to feel the
need of home mission and hope
capital punishment may never be
abolished.

ing the situation of affairs, he
says: 1t is N0U, the desire of
this Government to satisfactorily
adjust all questions and in this
desire we have been patientalmost
to the limits of endurance"
He insists that the Spanish
Government will bring Gen. Bur.
riel to trial, in accordance with
the protocol F.; that in reference to
all the pending questions, the
relations of this country with
Spain are endangered by delay,
and that, as to all equally, the
Spanish Government should be
informed that the maintenance of
good relations with this governs
ment depend on an early, salts.
factory and conclusive adjust
ment.
A telegram from Mr.. Gushing,
November 16, says: "The Span.
ish Government repeats the assu-
rance of the trial of Burriel."
The correspondence shows that
the Secretary Of State sent copies
of the instructions of Cushing to
London, Paris, Berlin Vienna, st.
Petersburg and Rome, the object
being to ascertain whether the
foreign governments would sus
tain the United States in it's
policy regarding Cuban affairs.
There is nothing to show that any
of the governments assented. The
Ministers respectively read the
instructions to the governments to
which they were accredited, and
noted the replies. There is moth.
ing new in the correspondence
later than December 4.

IMPROVED DRAINING MACHINE.
Mr.. Edmond Leblanc, Of Little
Gallon, Terrebonne,is the inventor
of a draining machine which is
now attracting a great deal of
attention. 1t is entirely different
in principle from any ever before
used in this State, and can be
effectively worked by horsepower.
1t is q large wheel, with immense
buckets attached, which is worked
the same as an ordinary horse
power machine, and while q large
one can be constructed at a cost
not exceeding $500, including the
$50 right, yet 1t throws water with
such rapidity that it will soon
drain any field, and it is claimed
one can food a field Of one hug
dred acres in rice. MI. Celestin
Lejeune, near Centreville, is the
agent for Attskapas, aud one can
be seen as put up on the Phillips
and other plantations in that
vicinity, where all are we'll pleased
with It's operations. Those inter.
ested should inquire into it's
merits.
