III A IN CUBA.

The terriers are hunting the fox in
Cubs.
II there are terriers enough and the fox
is not ever watchful, the terriers may
catch the fox and choke it to death.
AS it is so far, however, the fox is free
and 1t has been doing about as 1t pleased
in Cuba, msrauding and destroying, fox
fashion.
Gen. GOMEZ cannot fight the Spanish
army. But he can make a wilderness for
Spain in Cuba. The gallant insargent
leader is not able to "fgnt fair" against
the batallions of Spain, but he can sweep
the island from end to end aad wear out
a good many OF he batsllions. Meanwhile,
while Spain has soldiers to spare, she is,
financially, a bankrupt. II General
GOMEZ can escape the clutches OF General
| WEYLER for a long enough time he will
| not need to storm Havana to secur 9 the
freedom OF Cuba. Spain will have to let
| Cuba go, because she cannot afford TO
keep the island just to indulge in the
sport OF %fox-hunting with GOMEZ as the
fox. 1t is an expensive pastime. Stronger
and richer nations than Spain could be
worn out by 1t.
The freedom Of Cuba appears to be
pretty well assured.

An animated MACHINE
What Was Developed In q Most Inter-

and Honest Scientific Man.

"The most remarkable machine In the
world Is the human body"
He was q professor in Q New York

uing, he said:

minute OF the life and never has q .vaca-
ton or rest?
"And the there are the kidneys,
which have been truly called the 'hlter OF
the body They separate every particle
OF liquid that passes from TIE body ex-
cept that which oozes through the pores.
"Did Ii ever occur 10 you that this
machine might wear ont from over work,
o~ver-taxation, ~over-exertionf And 30 IL
does in too many cases.
''For more than five hundred years the
world and the medical profession CROPPED

weakened or diseased, and 1t was only
within the past twenty years that any
remedy was found. DR.. Bright discovered

An Appeal For the Special Observance OF

An Appeal For the Special Observance OF
Lincoln Day.
Boston, Jan. 25.-Rov. George II. Gut
terson, New England secretary OF the
American Missionary association, has
sent out an appeal to all the Congrega-
tional churches of New England, asking
for an observance Of Abraham Lincoln
Memorial day, Feb. 16. He states that
this is the jubilee year OF the association,
and expresses tho bopc that this semi-cen-
tennial year may be ~signalized by special
offerings in support of the great WORK OF
the American Missionary association
among the neglected millions of our coun-
try. The OCCURRENCE or The Lincoln Memc-
rial day furnishes a specially appropriate
occasion for calling attention to the work
OF the association, md TO the great bur-
den OF debt now resting upon IL. The
work among the negroes must always be
associated with the name OF Abraham
Lincoln, who lifted them from slavery
into freedom and gave his life a willing
sacrifice to the cause OF their liberation
and the salvation OF our country. Abra-
ham Lincoln was born on the edge of tho
great region occupied by the mountaineers
of the south, or American h~ighlanders."
Among these people the American Mis-
sionary association has established Its
churches, schools and missions, and they
have Loyalty responded ia cooperation In

lance with Russia.
LONDON, Jan. 25.-In spite of tho de-
mails, official and semi official, that have
been made from many quarters, the re-
port OF the offensive and defensive alliance
between Russia and Turkey, which was
printed by The Pail Mall Gazette on
Thursday, is not viewed with entire in
credulity. Special dispatches, published
by the London newspapers from the
European capitols, notably from Berlin,
Paris and Vienna, show a tendency to ad-
NIT the possibility hat a Russo Turkish
treaty has been concluded.
IL is pointed out with obvious plausibil-
ity that Turkeys inpccun!osity may have
driven her To seek nm alliance as a means
OF obtaining a loan, rs was the case re-
Gently with China. IL such n treaty has
in fact been concluded, it is certain that
tho fact will be kept until the last mo-
ment. So far there has been no authentic
confirmation OF the report from any
quarter.
