The Balance of Nature.

It is risky to disturb the balance of
nature, for if one animal is destroyed
another which it keeps in check gains
tie upper hand. The.hawks, eagles
and other birds which preyed on the
prairie dog having been destroyed, the
burrowing marmot has increased so
enormously that whole districts in
America threaten to become worthless
for the grazier. The game preserver
shoots every accipterine bird, and i'm
mediately we hear complaints of a
plague of sparrows and other ''ver-
min, and no sooner are sparrow clubs
in good working order than the farmer
is Impoverished by the increase of
insects. 1t is equally rash to intro
duce into new countries the animals
strange TO them without at the same
time importing their natural enemies,
as the painful history of the acclimat-
ization of the rabbit and the sparrow
in Australia so amply proves. In Am
erica the latter is becoming far too
much at home. NaturaG1ed in the
well-founded hope that he would keep
down the swarms of insects which,
owing 10 the determination of native
insectivorous birds near the great
cities, were becoming a pestilent evil,
he has multiplied amazingly, until
the farmers look on ms visits to the
maize fields with a dread which some
experience of his taste for Indian corn
fully justifes.

Independence for Cuba.
New York Mail and Express.

Cuba is on the verge of ruin, and
there is no salvation for her except
through a severance from Spain. Her
inhabitants are in a condition of des-
peration, and it is reported that they
are preparing for struggle for the
independence of their island. When
General Gomez lands with the force
which he is now organizing a general
uprising will Cceur, it is believed, and
the blacks are to be melted to Join In
the insurrection. The great struggle
which began in 1868, and ended with
the surrender of the Cuban patriots IN
February, 1868. was very costly one
to Spain, and 1t is doubtful if she will
esteem Cuba of sufficient value to
undertake another costly war for her
subjugatiou. She sent 112, 900 of her
troops to the island durlag the nine
years of the war, but without the
Jealous cooperation of the Spaniards
of Havana, Matanzas and other cities
she could not have crushed the re-
bellion. The situation is now very
different from that of 1868. Cuba is
no longer productive aud prosperous,
but her plantations are desolate, and
she is almost bankrupt. Wealthy
Spaniards will not now afford the
mother country the assistance which
she received from them to suppress
the former revolt but on the contrary
wealthy inhabitants of the island are
engaged in the movement to make
Cuba free. In population of little
more than l, 500, 900, only about l, ,000,
600 are V vlites, and the decision of the
negroes to join the iusurrectien may
make the revolt the most formidable
ever organized by Cubans against
Spanish authority. There are iudi-
cations of tremendous struggle for
the independence of ''the ever faithful
isle" durisg the approaching winter,
but perhaps Spain may spare blood
and treasure by abandoning Cuba as
a worthless possession.
