HIS RESIGNATION RENDERED,

BUT NOT ACCEPTED-THE SPANISH MINIS
 TIERS CONDUCT HANDICAPPED.
 WAsHINGToN, March 21.-Senor Muru- qua, the Spanish minister, admits the cor rectness of the report oabled from Madrid that he had rendered his resignation, and that the tender had been declined. He res fuses to talk upon the subject. One ol his friends, however, explains that Senor Murugua rendered his resig- nation because his official conduct had been adversely criticised by some Cuban newspapers, notably the Havana Journal. He felt also that he had been misrepresented by some American newspapers.
 His resignation was consequently sent iu on March IA, and the reply he received from the Spanish minister of foreign affairs was such as to completely vindicate his position.

THE DONKEY.
A Fearful Plea For tho Downirodden but
 Obstinate Animal.


 Civilization. has used the poor ass badly. Our ways are not his ways. and he not in- frequently reminds us of tho fact. When he does express dissent, he shows himself an uncompromising bisot. Yet let us consider for a moment why he Is such an ass He has been taken from a bold and free life in the uplands, where the very air tastes of independence, and has been de- graded to the very lowest kinds of drudg- cry. Nonconformist as he is, he is more of Tory than the horse. He cannot fit him. self to changed oircumstancees. He Is like c the free Caribs, whom the Spaniards tried to reduce to slavery. The condition is so foreign to his nature that he cannot fall in with 1t without losing all tho nobler traits of his old self It crushes him. He is proverbially patient, but his patience has in it something of tho dullness of despair Yet obstinate and rebellious as he ocoa- sionally is he cannot be considered fool If he appears to be one, it is because we have removed him so far out of his natural sphere. If any of us were taken from our civilized surroundings and were turned loose to get living among the desolate rocks of Abyssinia, we should doubtless offer as fair laughing stock to the wild asses and baboons.
 Now, where does the donkey get bis ob- stinacy from? It is useful quality in the right place. On long journey, with short allowance of food and water, a mule will keep going longer than horse It seems to me likely that the great difference in character between tho horse and the ass is partly owing to tho fact that when wild the former go in largo herds and the latter in small The horse is much more of Q society animal than the donkey, and so his manners arc moro suave, He, like all those who have to mix freely with their fellows, has acquired an accommodating disposition. Let me make haste to say that donkey is distinctly moro intelll. gent animal than horse. It is his un- willingness to fall in with the wishes of those who would influence him and his stubbornness in sticking to his own views to which am alluding. In his mountain home, where pasture is scarce, only few wild asses. as rule, go together. Should foe suddenly appear when they arc scat tered in search of the scanty herbage each must decide on course for himself, for it would not always be possible to follow leader. Honce self reliance and disposi. tion to act independently would be valua. ble in the struggle for existence. American Review.
