About Cuba.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution
The Cuban revolt is continuous
and perpetual thing. Since 1884 the
native inhabitants of the Island have
never been perfectly quiet. When
not in open warfare they have made
it as unpleasant as possible for the
Spaniards in the interior.
Between 1884 and 1868 official sta
tistics show that it has cost Spain
for re Inducements sent to Cuba
$200,000,000, aud a like amount for
property destroyed. In that period
5000 Spanish officers have perished
and 100000 private soldiers all
killed in battle or through disease.
More than $4,000 Cubans haye been
killed in war and $4,000 have bees
taken prisoners and executed.
These are startling figures, but
there will be no permanent peace in
Cuba under existing conditions. The
natives are denied all civil, political
and religious liberty. They are exc
cluded. from all positions Of honor
trust and profit, and they are cruelty
oppressed and taxed to death.
Naturally, Spain suspects that The
Americans sympathize with the
Cubans, and this explains her con-
tinual insults and outrages in dea !
ing with our merchant vessels. We
can never feel secure nor couss
on peace with Spain until Cuba u
Independent or under our flag.

Three Questions.

From the New York Herald.
Yea, I think it meet, as long as l
am in this tabernacle, to stir you up
by putting you in remembrance.-II.
Peter, l., l3.
There are some things of which We
need to be constantly reminded, for,
like footprint on the seashore, the
waves of care and business are apt to
wash them out of our memories.
A few simple truths which are ac-
knowledged by everybody to be self
evident, and which therefore need
not be discussed, lie at the founda-
ton of every noble character. A man
is not called upon to believe much,
but what he does believe must reach
down to the lower depths of his
nature and exercise q controlling in
fuence over motives and actions.-
The mystery of religion is thus abol-
ished, and Gods requirments are ad-
mitted to be perfectly plain, as we'll
as entirely reasonable and just. If
you can possibly have any doubt as
to what the Lord wishes you to do,
you may be sure that you have in
some way substituted set of eccle-
siastical dogmas for Christ's law of
love, and the sooner you lay the dog
mas aside and take this law of love
in their stead the better it will be for
the peace of your soul. You will
then see that common sense and the
Almighty's demands run parallel to
each other.
The first important truth knocks
at your door when you have answered
the question, Whence came you?'
Are you curiously and cunningly
constituted lump of matter, or is
there blazing fire within which is
not akin to matter? When the mat.
ter tumbles into ruins will the fire &C
out, or is there such difference
| between the two that the fire will
still blaze when the chimney has
been destroyed? Are you all dirt
beautiful dirt, wondrously refined
dirt, to be sure, but still dirt-or arr
you dirt plus spark of the eterna
life of God?
| The man whose convictions ar,
limited to the d;rgelike phrase
"From the dust to the DUST" cal
have no aspirations which will equa
those which come from the loftie
/ phrase, "From the dust; to th
stars" To think upward is to lif
ones self above the earth. Thought
are either like pair of bellows, whicl
fans the slumbering embers into

fame, or life abucket of water, whicl
extinguishes the last faint glow o.
the hearth. If you believe that yo

that makes him large or small befor

The Little Man.


The little man who stauds within
The little soul we see him off,
He plays, and plays always to win,
His face is sleek, his hands are soft.
l envy not his great control
The little man, with little soul!
The little man who stands within
The little soul he ambles here
And there, and sweet to him is sin
If he can bnt its profits share.
With naught Of grief doth he conaole--
The Lii tie man, of little soul!
The little man who stands within
The little soul he plays his part,
And through his pale lips, set and thin,
Glides the keen cunning of his heart
And not for him Gods thunders roll
The little man, of little soul

A Dark Day.

The famous Dark Day in New
was the 10Th of May, 17S0,
the day that the British captured
the city of Charleston, s. c., after
siege of several weeks. 1t extended
all over New England, and created
great. CONSERVATION among the super
stitious. The remarkable coinci-
dence of it's coming on the same day
with a great disaster to the Ameri-
can arms, also cast gloom upon the |
spirits of some even of the more
hardened of the Revolutionary pa
triots. In some places persons could
not see to read ordinary print during
several hours. Birds sang their eve
ming songs, disappeared and became
silent; fowls went to roost; cattle
sought the barnyards, and candles.
were lighted in the houses. The
Connecticut Legislature was in ses-
sion and some of the members were
so panic-stricken that they wanted to
adjourn as soon as darkness fell
upon them; but one stout old Puri-z
tan declared that if it were Gods
will that the end of the world was at
hand it were best that they should be
found at their posts of duty. So,
candles were brought and the Legis-
lature proceeded with it's work. The
observation began about 10 o'clock
in the morning, continued through
the entire day, aud was followed by
an unusually intense degree Of black
ness during the night. The most
intense and prolonged darkness was
confined to Massachusetts,, especially
to the eastern half of the State, and
the people, believing that the end of
all things had come, betook them
selves to religious devotions. Men
of science have been much puzzled
to account for this remarkable phe-
nomenon, It was plain from the
falling Of the barometer that the air
was heavily charged with moisture.
The darkness, then, it might be said,
was only the result of dense fog;
but the cause of so remarkable a fog
is still unexplained. Possibly great
forest fires prevailed that spring in
western Pennsylvania and New York
"a region then an absolute wilder.
ness-the smoke of which was borne
through the upper regions of the
air, to fall, when it came to an ares
] of less buoyant air, down to the
| lower strata. But this explanation
is only guesswork. The only thing
known for certain is that black dark
ness covered the whole northeastern
!, corner of the United States on th.
10Th Of May. 1850, and that no au
thentic explanation of that darkness
has ever been found.

Yesterday there was perfect wave
"of railroad rumors sweeping over the

when told in the morning hours, but

conscience, gone far enough? There
are about a dozen men in the city
who, while on all other topics they are
responsible and respectable citizens,
seem to think 1t just now the sum total
of human happiness to be considered
on the "inside" regarding the railroad
question. They come down from home
bright and early in the morning, and
until the moment they go home at
night are gabbling with sspgacious mods
and winks about Bonner e. Hammond

In response to telegram, the Daily

home of Messrs. Bonner and Ham,
mond, yesterday wired the Astoriar
that Mr.. Hammond would leave New
York on Saturday next, and come di
rect to Astoria, which would orlng hin
here on the 23rd inst. The news was
Immediately placed on the Astoriar
bulletin board, and was read by many
people during the afternoon. 1t was not
only read with interest, but proved a
perfect balm to the depressed feelings
of q number Of people who have grad
ually become discouraged at the non
appearance of the railroad builders,
though they are not due to commence
work as per contract for full two
weeks to come. The very source of
the telegram was convincing enough
to them who read 1t, that Astoria's rail
road prospects are as bright, or ever
brighter than ever, and that only G
few days will elapse before active op.
erations will commence.
