Spanish Faith.

IT, diff .ait to zee how Spain can
ever retain her present position IN one
O, the nations Of Europe. There is
nothing in her power or her honor
which can gain the respect o! other
nations. In neither might or right is
she worthy of esteem. The MANAGE
ment of the government is wholly with.
ont honesty or common sense, and a
most re ckless disregard Of honor is the
chief characteristic Of the administra-
ton. The case which is exciting i'll
dignation just now is the treatment OF
the surrendered insurgents, who, the
Cuban members of the Cortes say, were
promised that they would be EO longer
prisoners on reaching Spain Instead
Of releasing them, however, or even
treating them with ordinary humanity,
the government, having filled the penal
settlements in North Africa, now pro-
poses to send some hundreds OF men,
including several prominent persons, to
the desolate, savage. peopled, rat-in-
tested, hot and malarial Mariana Is.
lands, near tho Philippines. If the re-
ports are correct the Spanish govern
ment intends to commit this cruel act,
which cannot bnt call forth popular
protest from the entire civilized world.
In matters of dollars and cents the
Spanish government seems to be as
dishonest as the pettiest cheat, and
guilty of crimes for which men have
served long sentences il States Prison.

mittee winch was remarkable for its
severity. He IS now in Jail, awaiting
an investigation, and it is not probable
that the responsible members Of the

large Number of other forgeries have
been com lifted, and the manage ment
OF the Spanish finances has been SO cul
pably careless, to put it in the mildest
way, that tho administration must lose
credit utterly. 1t would seem that the
greed for gold. which was the cause of
SPANS d.cuGence, has assumed now
the most pitltul and abject phase

Feminine Names.

Anna.bella is not Anna. bella. or Fair
Anna, but is the feminine name OF Han
nibel, meaning gift Tor grace) Of Bel.
Arabella is not Arabella or beautiful
altar, but Grabilla, dying woman.
In its Anglicised form Of Orabel, it was
much more common in the thirteenth
century than at present. Maurice has
nothing to do with Nautilus, or q
Moor, but comes from Amalric--him-
mel-reich-the Kingdom of Heaven.
Ellen is the feminine Of Alsin, Allan,
Allan, and has no possible connection
with Helen, which comes from differ.
emit language, and is older by about q
thousand years at least. Amy is not
from Aimee, but frem Annie. Aviee, or
Avis, does not exactly mean advice, a.
some seem to think. 1t comes from
Elwis, and means happy. wisdom.
Eliza has no connection with Elizabeth.
1t is the sister of Lousai, and both mean
the daughters of Heloise, which is
Heelwis, another form Of Louisa, or
rather Louise, which is the feminine Of
Louis, but this was scarcely heard OF
before the sixteenth century. The old
err Heloise form OF the name, Aloisa,
or Aloysia, was adopted ihto medieval
English AZ Elesia-a name which our
old genealogists always confuse with
Alic. Emily and Amelia are not differ
ept forms of one name. Emily is from
Rmylia, the name of an Etruscan gems.
Amelia comes from the Gothic smala-
heavenly. Reginald is not derived from
Regina, and has nothing to do with
queen. 1t is Reinalt-exalted purity,
Alice, Adelias. Adelaide. Alisa, Alix,
Adeline, are all forms of one name, the
root of which is adel-no.le. But
Anne WAS never used as identical with
Annis or Agnes (of which last the old
Scotch Annas is a variety. nor was
Elizabeth ever synonymous with Isabel.

Betrayed by the Truth.

The very amiable and worthy occu-
pant Of the position Of British Vice
Consul at q port in the far East had
often expressed to his American fellow
residents his great desire to visit their
country, and make himself familiar
with some of its institutions. His
ideas of the West had been formed
from perusal Of the works of Cooper,
and it is to be feared that his interlocu-
tors had purposely abstained from
disturbing his somewhat highly colored
expectations. Finally furlough came
to him, and no made ready to carry out
his cherished plan of a trip home By
the way of the Pacific Ocean and the
United States. Introductions were
given him to trusty practical jokers in
San Francisco, which he presented on
arrival, with expressions Of vehement
desire to encounter Indians and hunt
buffaloes. This. he was told, would
be easy, as both abounded in the
neighborhood of the Cliff House and
in the peaceful and prosaic suburb of
Oakland. An expedition was planned
and carried out, and the British broth
or, armed to the teeth, performed great
deeds in the encounter with "practica-
BILE Indians and buffaloes-furpished,
it was whispered, by theater and a
CIRCUS or menagerie. Exulting in the
praise OF his American friends, and
covered with glory, he departed for
New York and England. His fame
stood him in good stead at dinners and
other social gatherings during his entire
vacation, preceded him on mis- return to
his post, and made him quite hero
among his follow.exiles. No American
could find it in his heart to disturb it,
and all might have gone we'll to this
day had he only confined himself to
his character OF amateur Leatherstock-
ing. One day, however, q countryman
OF his came to "Yankee" and de-
nounced this hero. Just think OF
that Al said he, "trying to sell US.
BY Jove! 1 never heard in all my life,
you know, such atrociOus stories as he
has been telling us. What do you
think he tried to make US believe? 1t
is all very fine to have shot no end of
Indians and buffaloes. OF course, you
know, where there are so many as there
are in San Francisco and New Hamp-
shire and Niagara, and all those places,
plucky fellow might do that. But
he has actually tried to make us believe
the most extraordinary story that you
have ever heard about your country,
you know. He says that he went to a
place called Chicago, and he went to
draw some money from bank, and
found that they had raised it up and
were moving it, with all the fellows
inside, you know, going on with their
work! l say! just fancy the cheek of
the fellow, supposing he could make
us believe that" Alas! the one true
story which the poor Consul told mad
proved his undoing. A. A. HAYES, Jr.,

were being struck in the face with

they touched each other sparks of cleo

mice, and insects will at once desert it.
Plants may be easily protected by it
from these insect plaques, by simply
brushing over their stems with solu-
ton of it,. 1t has often been noticed
that patch which has been treated in
this way remains free from grubs, while
the unprotected beds round about are
literally devastated. Fruit-trees may
be guarded from their attacks by at
taching to the stems pieces of tow
smeared with a mixture of chloride of
lime and hogs lard. Ants and grubs
already in possession will then rapidly

following report from Gen. st. John,
under date Of candAhaT, July 18th:
Gen. Burrows marched from Kushki
Nakud on the morning Of the 9th,
having heard that Ayoob Khan's adj
vance guard had occupied the main
Rad three miles from the latter place.
The enemy's cavalry appeared adSanc-
ing from the direction Of Hyderabad-
The artillery and cavalry engaged them
about o O'Clock in the morning.
shortly Afterwards the whole force Of
the enemy appeared, formed In line Of
hattie, with seven regiments Of regulars
in the center and three others Ina TO-
serve, 1000 cavalry IN the right, 400
cavalry and 1000 irregular infantry on
the left, and other cavalry and irregn-
lar infantry m reserve, and i've OF six
batteries Of guns, including one Of
b~reech-loaders; the total force being
1900.
The ground was slightly uneulatiug
aud the enemy were posted In the best
position. Until O'Clock In the after
noon the action was confined 10 artii-
lery ere, which was % well sustained
and directed by the enemy that our N
perior armament failed TO compensate
for inferior guns. After the rife hre
began, our breech-loaders told, but the
vigorous advances OF the cavalry
against our left, and OF the Ghazii
along our front, caused the native In
fantry TO fall back In confusion on thu
Goth regiment abandoning two guns
Our formation being lost, the infantry
retreated slowly, In spite Of the gallant
efforts Of Gen. Burrows 10 rally them
and were cnt on from the cavalry and
artillery. This was ut 8 O'Clock In the
afternoon, and the camp followers and
baggage were streaming towards Can
dahar.
After a severe fight In the enclosed
grounds, Gen. Burrows succeeded In
e~xtricating the infantry and brought
them into line In retreat. No efforts
would turn the fugitives from the main
road, which Is without water ut this
season OF the year, and thus the majori
ty OF the casualties occurred. from mel
falling from thirst and exhaustion.
The enemy's pursuit continued u
within ten miles OF Candahar, but wa
not vigorous. The cavalry and artil
lery, with n few infantry. reached thu
banks OF the river Argandale, font,
miles from the Gene Of action, at 7
O'Clock the next morning. many mol
having tasted water since the previous
morning.

ment, 400; grenadiers. $50; Jacobs RI
