THE VALUE OF CYPRUS To THE
ENGLISH.

Situated just on the coast Of Syria, COM
manding the sea way to the Gulf of Sean
deroon and the mouth of the Orontes, and
therefore the Mediterranean entrance to
the valley of the Euphrates, Cyprus, with
its deep harbors, offers singular advantages
to power interested in India, but unable
for the moment to secure possession of its
natural gateway, the valley of the Nile. It
would be impossible, if England were once
seated there, for any power to attack
Egypt or Syria by sea without her full
consent; while the island itself, as a
possession, offers some singular advan.
tages.
1t is probably the one place in the world
which could be easily turned into store
house of timber for the national dookyard.
Much of its mountain ranges is already
clothed with forests, which belong, we be-
lieve, to the State; the oak grows in pro,
fusion, and the cedar of Lebanon would be
in home where it would need no accli-
matization. The forests could be protected
by the State with any neelful care, with
out interfering with the people, who have
been reduced by oppression and misgovern-
ment to hundred thousand, perhaps a
twelfth of their proper number, and who
for years to come would be employed in
repeopling and resubduing the beautiful
valleys, where every cereal and every
known fruit will reach perfection. The
tobacco plant and apple tree will grow in
Cyprus almost side by side.
With little care and energy in the
formation of tanks, on the south Indian
plan, to be filled by the torrents which now
waste themselves down the hills, Cyprus
would have all the natural advantages OF
Jamaica, better climate, and popula-
ton now degraded indeed, but once among
the mort industrious and enterprising in
the world. Within ten years, in Anglo
Indian hands, the island would pay all ex-
penses, provide much of the wood needed
for the dockyards and be in fair way
toward that prosperity which, to be full,
must wait for the recovery of the popula.
ton, now depressed by misgovernment,
debased by want of freedom, and declin-
ing in number through want of the means
of subsistence. -Spectator.

A DIPLOMATIC CIGAR.

Bismarck's attitude in Parliament had
been much noticed at Court. The King,
Frederick William w., had taken . great
liking to the JIaker, and when the post Of
Prussian Minister at Frankfort became va
cant, he thought of Offering it to Bismarck.
He was rather surprised, however, when
this latter, without asking time for refec-
ton, declared himself ready to accept the
Kings proposal. "But are you aware that
it is very difficult post, and it involves
great responsibility said the King.
"Your Majesty may at all events give me
chance" replied Bismarck; "if I do not
succeed, can be recalled at any time"
The position which he at once assumed at
Frankfort created considerable astonish-
ruling power in the Bundesrath, and the
minor German States not only suffered
this, as being legitimate and unavoidable,
but they actually favored the pret tensions
of Austria; for they saw in the House Of
Hapsburg their natural protector against
the Hohenzollern. The last representative
of Prussia at the Bund had not been
able to resent this, and had quietly con-
sented to play an humble second part,
Count Thun, the Austrian Minister and
President of the Bund, being unmistakaly
No. l. This had gone SO far that Bis
marck's predecessor had, like his COL
leagues, allowed Count Thun to be the
only member to smoke during the com.
mittee meetings. No consideration could
prevent Bismarck from protesting against
this. He took cigar out of his pocket,
asked Count Thun, to his amazement, for
light, and puffed away freely long after
the Austrian Minister had thrown his cigar
away. 1t was but trihe, but that trihe
required more courage than any of his
colleagues possessed, and Bismarck ac'
quired thereby personal position which
his predecessor had never enjoyed-Bldck.

Science is abstract, impersonal, where.
as our experiences are concrete and per-
sonal. 1t is systematic, and systematiza-
ton is troublesome; our native Incidence
renders US impatient of labor, and our im-
patience leads US TO prefer the facile
method of guessing to the difficult method
of observing; we have to be trained into
the preference of observing what the facts
must be. Science, moreover, is greatly
occupied with remote relations; now to
feel IN interest in these we must first have
had them drought home to US. Knowl-
edge springs from desire. 1t begins when
prolonged observation, stimulated by emo
tion, replaces the incurious animal stare at
things; and for this prolongation there is
needed sustaining motive. The sustuin-
ing motive of research is the conviction of
the vast increase of our power which
science creates Measuring by foot-rule
and measuring by trigeronometry may be
taken as types of common knowledge and
science; the result reached may in some
particular cases be the same, whichever
method be used; but the incompatible ex-
tent of the second method, which is appli-
cable where the foot rule. reach
which measures the heights of mountains
and the distances of stars-furnishes
the sustaining motive of the study
of trigonometry. Science demands ex-
&ctuess, and this demand irritates the
vulgar mind. The impatience with which
your cook listens to your advice that she
should measure and not guess the guam
titles (advice you can never get her to fol
rouses your resistance when any one de-
sires to test your opinions by weigh
ing the evidence, or endeavors to
show that your traditional belief rests on
no verifable observations. Is not he who
insists on evidence commonly styled "a
bore by all whose opinions have been
adopted quite irrespective of evidence? Is
it not pronounced marrow" to hesitate in
accepting wide conclusions without keen
appreciation of data The distaste for
accuracy, and the impatience at any re-
st iction of the divine right of judging
without evidence, will disappear with the
advance of knowledge; and with this ad-
vance will also disappear certain mistaken
pretensions of scientific men too ready to
step beyond their own domain. 1t is this
which causes the dstaste of artists, men of
letters, and moralists, and their opposition
to the spread of scientific teaching. They
do not oppose knowledge in the abstract,
nor any particular knowledge; what they
resist is the idea that the conclusions
reached in one department of inquiry are
to dictate conclusions in another. The
artist is quite willing to accept the chem
lists methodized experience of chemical
facts, but refuses to listen to the chemist
theorizing about art. The moralst will
accept from the physicist equations of
light, and from the anatomi ions of
structure, but reserves to himself the right
of deciding on a moral question. G. II.

THE BANNACK WAR.

coming General.
Every day seems to increase the
magnitude Of the Bannack war. In
fact. it looks now more like general
;naurrcction of the tribes of southern
Idaho and Oregon. The kilograms
give the situation in detail. Until
recently it appeared the Bannacks
were on foraging and numbering
raid. and would, on being pressed,
retreat TO the Lava Bed fortresses
north and west Of Three Buttes; now
it seems they have acquired sufhcient
strength to meet the soldiers ON open
ground, are gaining accessions faster
than the troops, and are forcing their
way to the settlements of Oregon.
Whether this is only to afford disaf-
fected tribes opportunity to join them
and then retreat, or whether they are
going TO force the war in the settle
ments is not developed. Eight hun
jred brave and well armed warriors
led by skilled chieftains can go al
most anywhere on the Pacific coast,
and if they are shrewd enough to
take smaller comma nds in detail We
NAV hear of sad massacres soon. The
mobility of the Indians with fresh
borses and unincumbered by trans
portation renders their smaller num,
bers greatly more effective. Howard
is in the field with 600 or 800 SOL
diers. Crook with 200 men IS at
Fort Hall. The Indians are pow over
400 miles northwest from Fort Hail.

THE FRVER PLAGUE.

A dispatch says that Holly Springs
is 200 feet above the sea. The yellow
fever from New Orleans and Grenada
passedoxford and entered uollySpnngs
where United States soldiers from New
Orleans and fugitives from many South
ern towns were encamped. Since the
soldiers encampment was kept per
fectly clean and that of the multitude
was uncleansed, and thoroughly filthy,
it might be we'll to ascertain facts of
relative heslthfulness of the two
bodies of people. Oxford is among
the hills and the site was selected
for the State university because of Its
loftiness and supposed, and it seems
real, exemption from the presence of
plaques from the sea coast. Holly
Springs is on level plain. There is
no deep cut on the railway as it APP
proaches Holly Springs as there is at
Oxford, and the Tallahatchie river,
slow, sluggish and poisonous in sum-
mer time, is not many miles
from Holly Springs. The repor-
ter of dispatches is surely
as to the elevation Of
Holly Springs. Oxford is hardly more
than seven hundred feet.above the sea,
and Oxford has barely escaped yellow
fever which passed Oxford in passing
from Grenada to Holly Springs.

Tracy and Still. Know Nothingism

Of the secret society came forth from

ment and history the doughtlest leader
of the Democracy. The people were
dealt with fairly. There were no one
sided Misrepresentation of pub

were no base appeals to the basest
passions and impulses of men. Fair
ness and lofty courage at least charac.

posed to restrict the exercise of the
privilege of suffrage to Americans.
But this conduct of the timid fol-

the people will never tolerate it. The

THE PARTY OF sNKAKs.

The Georgetown Era, of the fifth
instant, the regular organ of the Green
hackers for this district, says:

pointments in this county, beginning

others, are GrseRbdck meetings, and not
for the benefit of Democratic candi-
dates. Very cordial Invitation is ex-
tended to the people generally, and if
people do not hear what suits them, it
will not be their part to accept what
they hear. Democratic speakers
should accordingly govern themselves.
Judge Terrell, not understanding
the exclusive character of the canvass,
attended at Macedonia the day the
above article was published, and
was courteously extended hear
ing. but could not of course force
himself on the appointments of his
competitor after being told that they
are mot for the benefit of Democratic
candidates When Hamman appeared
