Gun cable dispatches from Madrid

Our cable dispatches from Madrid
state that great excitement prevails in
Spain over the action of Germany in tax
ing possession OF the Caroline islands, and
that the heretofore friendly relations be-
tween the two countries are liable to be
seriously affected by this act Of Germany.
The Caroline islands, or New Philip
pines, an archipelago Of Oceanica, is stu
ated between the Philippines, the La
drones, the Marshall islands and New
Guinea, and extends from latitude % s. to
l2' n. Area SO miles. The islands
number 500. The greater portion of the
inhabitants are of the Malay race. They
are rIled by numerous petty chiefs and
are noted Tor their commercial enterprise.
The islands were discovered in l543, and
named after Charles V. The Spaniards
have always claimed them as forming
part of the Philippines. On July Q, 1865,
this archipelago was taken possession of
by England, but vacated again by that
government in 1878. The population of
the islands is about 10000.

Trot, trot, trot, along the smooth,
sunny but bamboo shaded high road, /
have a little leisure now to observe these
astonishing rickshaw coolies. They
wear the enormous traditional mush
room Chinese hat, suitable in case
either of beating rain or fierce sun, un-
der which are tucked their hard plated
pigtails for even a coolie would feel
himself disgraced were he minus a pig
tail. They are bare-footed, ba~re-legged,
bare-armed, and wear Just sufficient
rag TO save themselves from the charge
of indelicacy. Their skins are saliow,
their Mongolian faces are pinched, their
stature is small, their limbs seem atten-
uated and loosely put together.
And yet these demoniacal- looking
wrotches, whom TO call brethren" il
indeed a heavy demand on our charity,
throw themselves forward into the
shafts and drag their carriages with
their passengers, who may be ten or
may be twenty stone, not at a walk or
a shuttle, or an amble, but mt a good
round trot at about six miles an hour.
They neither flag, pant nor perspire,
but keep up this pace for two or three
miles at n stretch. Would not the most
renowned European athlete or pedes-
trian be but a feeble coney in compari-
som Moreover. these coolies have to
content themselves at the end of their
journey with 8 cents-a cent is a frac-
ton less than a halfpenny. They exult
if they receive 10 cents, and consider
the donor an utter fool if he gives them
II cents.

Ar ARLINGTON, opposite Washington,
d. C., where tens of thousands of soldiers
are buried, is a sort OF mausoIeum, under
aud around which are buried 2.5O0 dead
soldiers, or parts of soldiers, whose names
are not known. In some cases only a leg
or an arm represents the brave boy who
went out 90 battle under his country's
flag. His mother and sisters mis- him
have missed him Tor more than twenty
years from the old homestead. They
know he is dead and that IS all. Whether
he sleeps in southern soil or at Arlington
they know not, nor will they know. That
circular burial place at Arlington. sur
rounded by shade and lawn, and the beau
ties which nature, as well as the hand of
art, have lavished upon it, silently tells of
the horrors Of war; and it also tells us that
a grateful republic remembers its heroic
dead and does all that can be done to
make their resting place beautifully at
t%rnctiye.

saying that he would be ashamedsto ad-

clam millions of dollars worth of proper
ty in the heart of some city. Their an
cestors squatted on the land, procured
patents or agreements with the Indians

claim Of this kind is made by the Rev.
Mr.. Coovert, who claims for himself and
100 relatives 5000, OO0, 900 worth OF land

doubt the Rev Cooyert covets the valua-

clares that neither shalt thou covct thy

A HUSBANDS TERRIBLE CRIME.-DaVid
Conger, farmer living near LewlsVliie'
Ohio. killed his wife Monday in most afro
cious manner. In the evening he went into
a spring house and drank some water from
a tin cup, throwing the remainder upon
one of his children. The mother, standing
close by, demonstrated with him, when ne
turned upon her in a rage and sWore ne
would kill her. The frightened woman ran
into the house, pursued by her inturiated
husband, who picked up coffee pot as ne
ran and flung it in her face. When the
woman reached the porch her husband
struck her blow with his fist, knocking
her to the ground. He sprang after her'
and. picking up an axe, struck the PROSTATE
woman with it, almost severing one arm
and burying the weapon in her right breast
A second blow broke in the skull and lore
head. The tragedy occurred in the pres,
ence Of their six children, and when one OF
them started to inform the neighbors the
father pursued him, threatening death, Due
the little fellow escaped and gave the alarm
When the neigbbors arrived the other cnli,
dren were bending in tears over their dead
mother. Conger had in the meantime SuT.
rendered To the sheriff. and Is IN jan al
Wood stied. There has been strong tax ol
lynching. and heavy guards h"ye been l'lac'
