Tho Carlis: revolution III Spain is still
in progress. and the revolution in Cuba
goes unsurpassed. Now the Govern
ment, and then the revolutionists, have
the smiles of fortune From all this one
would infer that Spain is unable to sub
due the rebels. But strange reports are
in circulation III the foreign papers to the
affect that, so far IS the trouble. in Spain
are concerned, there arc numerous con-
tractors in Madrid, Paris and London,
who are literally making money by the
hat-flll,n in the same old fashion of
''army contracts and are having such
a good thing OF it they dislike to let it
90, and SO are using all the influence
they can command to control the opera
tions i'll the field against any decisive
results.
AS an exchange says, the Spanish
firms it is supposed sell arms and ammu-
milton to the AIfonsists alone, but tie
Parisians aud I.ondoners are hampered
by no such restrictions. They dispose
of cannon to the Insurgents and cartrid-
gos to the regular troops reyolYers TO
the rebels, and sabers to the Alfonsists.
If it was necessary AID could be made
profitable. no doubt they would not hesi-
tate 10 sell ta1tcss TO Lang the prisoners
on either side, and coflilta IN which to
bury them. In short, these thirty 1el-
lows have as many reasons against peace
as the annual dollars they realize in their
questionable traffic

THE DIAMOND SAw.-Diamonls arc
likely to become useful as they areorna-
mental. The diamond drill is the only
drill that can bore its way through GER
tain rocks whose hardness soon dulls the
best steel drills. And now a diamond
saw has been invented which promises
to do with stone what the finest steel
saw does with wood. It consists of a
thin metal disk, the teeth of which are
nothing more than minute black dia-
monds, EMBEDDED in the metallic edge of
the sheet. When revolving at high
speed, this disk cuts into the sides of
stone slab as though it were piece of
timber and not only can straight cut
tings be made, but, by an ingenious
mechanical device, bevels and rounded
edges are cut. AS labor-saving ma
chine, the inventor judges that one of
them will do the work of fourteen stone
cutters.

RECOVERY AFTER THIRTEEN YEARS
INSANITY HemenWay, OF
Boston, one of the richest mel. in Arneri-
ca, who has lately resumed business,
after thirteen years of retirement from
the world, has had q remarkable
history. When lad, he was sent to
Valparaiso. to manage the affairs OF tho
late benjamin Rangs, and, after few
years of importing South American pro-
ducts and exporting American manu-
factures on his own hook, he returned a
richer man than his former employer.
Oyer-work induced a nonomania, and
he fancIed he could not meet his liabili-
ties. But he had sense enough to take
the advice of physicians, and he retired
to Litch1ield, Connecticut, where for
thirteen years he remained IL what was
supposed hopeless insanity. \ year aud
half ago his reason suddenly returned
and lie tclegraphed to lis brother.
'IIring on your trial-balancc.n and sure
enough he was able to review the ,isto-
ry OF his house during his long absence.
lie is now Mt his old desk, and dropped
thousand dollar bill into the contribu-
tion-box on a recent Sunday.

How Lone no M1LK 4 Cow.-There

not profitable TO milk COW moro than
eight or nine months, and most dairy

the best practice ? We think not. A
COW is kept for milk. She should be
bred for holding out her milk rs long
as she can, with due regard for health
It has been proved in the case of thou
sands of cows that have lived to good
old age, that they can be bred to give
milk ten months in the year, bear a good,
healthy and strong calf and be ready for
as good a milking season the next year.
We should seek such cows and discard
these that persist III drying early, even
if they do give good mess for q short
season. RiatI Ngao Yorker.

and Of such q poor quality that Mr..
Mount was compelled to feed them to
his cattle. Mr.. Mount sEed for dana
ages before 4 justice OF the peace, and
was granted d Judgment of 500 dam
ages. The plea of the defendants was
that they had purchased the seed under
the impression that it was first class,
and, having paid the ordinary price,
no fraud was intended An appeal
was taken to the court of common pleas
a year afterwards, and tie Judgment OF
tile Justice of the peace was sustained
by the full bench. The case was then
carried TO the supreme court OF common

then taken to the court of errors and
appeals, tho tribunal of last resort, and
at the last term al the judges concur
red IN the opinion of Chief Justice,

ion of the Monmouth county Justice of
