KING ALFONSO AND cUBA.

King Alfonso says he is willing to sign
an instrument for the emancipation Of the
slaves in Cuba. He wishes TO abolish
slavery from that island. If he desires to
retain Cuba as q possession Of Spain it
will be well for him to hasten legislation
against slavery there, aud take vigorous
action for the welfare Of that distracted
island. 1t is evident that the Cnbans will
never have permanent peace until the
slaves are freed. II the strifes of recent
years continue among them, it is probable
that the liberation Of the slaves will be
effected Is . measure Of war. A vast num-
Der Of slaves have already been granted
their freedom as the price OF fidelity to
their masters in an emery ncy, and the
emancipation Of y lively conflict Is Tar
more lively than any the Spanish govern
ment is likely to grant. In fact, the pro
ject Of Spain is to hberate the slaves OF
Cuba very gradually Unless King Alfonso
comes resolutely forward to right the
wrongs of Cuba, Spain cannot hope to
long keep the control of that island. Cuba
has the right to demand protection or in
dependence of Spain.

THE recent drift Of the tide in New Jer-
sew and Connecticut has tesn towards the
Republicans. the New York u alleges,
but it will be perceived that New York and
indiana cast so votes, and if the Demo-
cratic candidate can add these TO the 13s
Southern votes, he will have 1SS. which is
three more Than a majority. But it will
be seen also that Indiana. New Jersey and
Connecticut cast only % votes, which is
10 short of the number Which the Demo-
cratic candidate must have from the North
in order to succeed. Therefore it is that
the Democrats cannot get along with
out the vote Of New York. The case is just
as clear with the Republicans. Tn whole
number Of electoral votes in the North is
23l. Take away the so votes Of New York
and Indiana, and the remainder is Isl,
which is four short Of a majority.

The Synod Of Kentucky in It's de-
alterations at Maysville, was deeply
agitated over what disposition was to
be made with "Campbellites" when
they applied for admission into the
Presbyterian Church. The question
was whether the baptism Of Camp
belliie" is valid baptism. This ques-
ton has engaged the attention Of the
Synod before. and one year agoa com.
mittee was appointed to devise a
means of putting the question to rest.
This committee reported last week,
recommending the reference Of the
entire question to the General Assem-
bly,. This view was taken by Drs.
Yerkes, Humphreys and Archibald,
but Or. Beatty, President Of Centre
College. argued very forcibly in favor
Of committing il to the discussion Of
the sessions Of the churches, and inti-
mated that that this would be the re-
suit of its reference to the Assembly.

to whom il has reference, and they

er for thelast thirty or fortyyears. This
is by simply taking none but fresh
and sound eggs, and setting them, in
layers on the tip or small end, in a
box or basket or any thing that will
hold eggs. We do not put any thing
between them, nor do we put them up
''air tight" but we always keep them
IN the cellar. Eggs that we have put
away in this position last fall are to-
day--after six months--as good and
fresh rs the day they were laid, and
we have never found one that was
spoiled or stale among them, when
thus served. We feel confident that
they would keep good and fresh for
one year.

There goes the woman that George

His wife, who was in back room
getting supper ready, dropped plate

"Where? Where? Tell me quickl"
"The one with the long clOak-just

Then the woman at the window
said in tones of deep disgust
"Why. that's Browns wife"
"Yes, exactly" remarked the brutal
husband, quietly.
Then the disappointed woman went
back and got the supper ready, but
her usually sweet disposition was sour

Twenty years ago, rs the story goes,
there was a wedding. The bride was
Of good family, and she loved her hus-
band with the characteristic devotion
Of a wife. But she found herself
grievously disappointed, for in time
he inflicted a series of studied injuries
that eventually ended in the loss OF
her character and a separation. She
drifted to this city and became the
proprietress Of a house Of bad repute,
in which terrible business she remains
to-day. For years there has fingered
In her heart memories Of what she WIS
and what she might have been but for
this wretch whom she at one time
owned as a husband; aud she had
nothing but curses for the irrepaira-
bic ruin he had wrought. Tho hus-
band continued at his old home and

Solicitation Of hydrogen seems to
be an accomplished fact. In some re-
cent experiments with hydrogen com
pressed at $50 atmospheres. it was
found, on opening the stop cock, that
the gas issued with a noise like that
of a hot iron bar under water, and it
had a steel-blue color. The jet sud-
denly became intermittent, and then
there followed a sort of hail of the
solid particles of hydrogen, which fell
with positive violence to the ground
and produced a cracking noise. AT
terward, the stop cock was closed, and
there was evidence that crystalliza-
ton of hydrogen took place within the
tube; when, however, the temperature
was again raised, the gas issued as 1
LIQUID.

A story is told Of a great French
artist, which finely illustrates his
knowledge of human nature. He
was travelling in Germany, in entire
Ignorance of its language and curreu-
cy. Having obtained some small
change for some Of his French coins,
he used to pay drivers and others in
the following manner; Taking a
handful Of the nuismatical specimens
from his pocket, he counted them one
by one into the creditors hands, keep
ing his eye fixed all the time on the
receivers face. As soon as he per-
oeived the least twinkle Of a smile he
took back the last coin deposited in
the hand, and returned it, with the
remainder to his pocket. He after
ward found that in pursuing this
method he had not overpaid for any
thing.

1t is strange that the popular preju-
dice in favor Of narrow tires for wag-
Gus and carts should be SO firmly fix
ed as to prevent the use of bread
tires. A wagon or cart with tires
three or four inches wide may be
drawn across newly-plowed field
without cutting in, and on wet, mud
dy roads the surface is not cut up but
is packed down. The better condition
of the roads and the saving of cost in
repairs to them by the use of broad
tires would be enormous every year
Nevertheless, narrow tires are used
almost universally. Farm and Fire
