THE CRISIS IN THE ISLAND OF CUBA.

1t is tolerably evident that a crisis
exists in Cuba, and that this fertile
island is in danger of sharing the fate OF
Hayti and Jamaica, unless the rule of
the Spaniard, that has been growing
more and more insecure for the past
fifteen or twenty years, is greatly modi-
fed. Instructions occur anew as often
as one is suppressed, and now the negroes
are deserting the plantations to join the
camps of the insurgents, in many cases
carrying the cattle and portable property
of the owners along with them. On the
one hand, the slaves share in the restless
ness of the whites and demand their
liberty; and, on the other, the terrified
planters are forced to offer them
freedom through fear of their laying
waste to their plantations, sugar mills
and buildings, and the murder of their
families. 1t was reported few days
since that the Government has received a
memorial from the Cuban shareholders,
asking for the prompt solution of the
question of slavery on the island. The
memorialists add that unless the Govern
ment dispoSes of the question speedily
they will have to solve it for themselves
by freeing their slaves in order to save
their property from being burned. Oh
course complete emancipation of the
slaves will be the ultimate upshot, but il
will need great tact and more judiciou'
treatment of the Cuban population, botl
bond and free, than Spain has shown fol
many years in that island, to prevent the
condition thatexistsin in Hayti and Jamaic'
from overtaking the once prosperous
Gem of the Antilles on emerging from
the existing agitation there. The situa
ton would be sufficiently embarrassing
to the planter without war on han(
between Spain and the disafected native
white population, How much more 81
then when the horrors of this are addet
to the other difficulties that exist in ad
justing the relations of property to labor
so that the interests of both shall be sub
served and the rights of neither disre
garded.

EXPOSITION LITERATURE.

There be those who are inclined to
make light of the eagerness with which
a large number of the visitors to the Ex-
position gather up the great quantity of
pamphlets, cards, dodgers and other ad-
vertising inventions that are rendered
them by exhibitors or the eragents. Many
of these are elegant specimens of the en-
grsver's and printers skill; some are
amusing, not few are useful, and all of
them are more Or less instructive.
The person who goes home with a com
plete outfit of these guide boards to new
inventions and improvements-andit it
would fill an ordinary-sized cIothes-basket
by giving them an attentive study, will
learn much of the worlds progress in
these latter years. No matter what his
calling may be he can not fail to stumble
on to some new thing that can be utilized
in his business Or for his pleasure Or COM
fort. Such literary and artistic pot
pourri would have been liberal educa-
ton to our ancestors two generations
back.
Even now he must have been an ex-
tensive general reader and hard student
who can not find here something new to
engage his attention and excite his inter-
est. So we would say to the visitors to
the Exposition, do not turn away with
scorn Or an assumed air of dignified con-
tempt from the proffered circular OF
dodger or advertising fan or illustrated
catalogue, and even pocket the twelve.

They had a sweet artistic sensation in
Westfeld, N. j., the other day. Cassidy
and Bendemecker fell out. To revenge
himself, Bendemecker sawed off the horns
off Cassidy's goat and painted him, a la
zebra, with stripes. Then the indignant
goat-owner whitewashed Bendemecker's
jackass. The lime so affected the poor
creature that he became insane and COM
mitted suicide. Actions have been brought,

side, and bill of costs for one or the

various kinds at handsome profit to the
shrewd mill owners of Manchester and
other foreign cities. That there is now
a vast movement looking to the trans
planting of many of the large manufac-
turing establishments from England to
the United States is evident. Within
few weeks the papers have chronicled the
fact that the chairman of the
strikers of the cotton mill dis
trict of Bradford, England, has left that
country for the United States to complete
arrangements for the emigration of seven
hundred and fifty of the striking hands
to this country, and for their engage

to the new world, until the seat of cotton
manufacture for the worlds supply will
ultimately be transferred to the country
