saved sinner can gaze on that req ana that white without remembering that though his sins were once red like crim- son they have become winter than snow. Oh, those celestial cavalcades whom our Conqueror in scarlet shall lead on through the streets of heavepl Wide streets, hundreds of mounted troops abreast, long streets, thousands in sight followed by coming thousands through the long day of heaven which hath no setting sun. Mind you, only the cavalry are in that shining procession, those who did work outside the forts, those who dared all things for God, those who had in them the spirit of holy dash. We who did easy work may look at that procession, but will not be a part of it. There they pass, the equestrians and equestriennes of heaven, regiments of evangelists, of tract distributors, of street preachers, of salvation armies, of once half starved home missionaries on the frontiers, of those who did in- conspicuous service for Christ and never had their name in the newspapers but once, and that in the notice of their own ohsequies-a notice not accompa- nied by the request, "Send no flowers, for there was no danger that there would be profusion of flowers.
 As from the windows and doors of the ''house of many mansions We look on the passing spectacle some of us will wish that on earth we had had less sal ary and more hardship, less comfort and more exposure, less caution and more courage, less shelter and more storm, less smooth sailing and more cyclone, and that we had dared all at the front Instead of taking good care of ourselves in the rear. Forward, mounted troopsl Fayorites of heaven! Cavalrymen and cavalrywomen of the Lord God AL mighty. No chargers of heaven too white or too arched of neck or too prancing of gait for those seated on them. If Jobs warhorse, while the bat tie was going on, said, "Ha, hal" shall not these chargers, now that the day is won, utter more jubilant 'Ha, ha?" Forward. under arches of triumph, by fountains rainbowed of eternal joy and amid gardens abloom with unfading effiorescence, and along palaces where,
 
 shall reign forever and ever, they march. they brandish their weapons with which they gained bloodless victory. and they rise in stirrups of gold to greet all the rest of heaven gazing upon them from the ame;hystine balconies. A glorious heaven 1t will be for all of us who any where and anyhow served the Lord, but an especial heaven, mounted heaven, professional heaven, for those who have done outside work, exposed work, and belonged to the Lords cavalry. "The armies which were in heaven fol- lowed him upon white horses
 Then, let the creaking door of tho clos ing year go shut When that closes, bet ter doors will open. The worlds bright est and hsppiest years are yet to come. Toward them we speed on in swiftest stirrup. Cavalry charge at Inkerman was not so rapid. At last the equestri- ans equal the chargers. At last the riders are as many as the horses.

Austria an Ally of Spain.

LONDON, Dec. 2a-The Paris core spondent of The Times this morning re news his surmises regarding opposition by European powers to intervention by the United States in Cuba. He says:
 The Austrian court and government have long been uneasy over the attitude oi American jingoism toward Spain, and such uneaSiness has long been the subject of diplomatic talks. The queen regent oi Spain is one of the most beloved princess es of the Austrian house. The love and respect she has won from the Spaniards have strengthened the affections reserved for her in her own family, and there will Do no hesitation. in demonstrating that affection whenever it becomes question of defending the interests of the country whose honor she protects with unmixed enthusiasm and which has become as 6ea1 to her as if she had been born on its soil. !"
 The Times Paris dispatch further re ports that The Temps remarks upon the Cuban situation that military successes and the attitude of the United States should facilitate concessions by Spain. '.It would be tactless, '' adds The Temps, "tO spoil the situation by explicitly suggest ing to the Madrid cabinet steps apparent ly dictated by their own interest and the glory of the country. It would be more opportune to use toward Washington dis creetly, on behalf of the whole of Europe, language calculated to confirm President Cleveland's and MT.

 ROME, Dec. aa.-The Italian newspa- pers announce the impending elevation of the Catholic archbishop of New York to the cardinalate, and. with respect to this matter, The Arena, one of the best inform ed journals in Vatican affairs, makes the following remarks:
 Every one knows of tine conflict which has long existed in the American episco- pate relative 10 certain doctrines, the prin- cipal apostles of which were the ex-rector of the Catholic university at Washington, Bishop keane, and Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul.
 Tt is also known that the pope recently had an interview with Mgr. keane, who has given his holiness such explanations that Leo XII has completely absolved him of the alleged errors of which he was accused.
 This event has certainly produced a great impression among American bish- ops, who up to the present have been op- posed to heane and Ireland In pardoning these prelates the pope has, so to speak, disapproved of the conduct of thcir ac- cuSers
 "To lessen. however. the effect which this pardon may have produced on the American episcopate his holiness has de- sided to raise to the cardinalate Mgr. Cor rigan, who represents the party hostile to Eeane and Ireland"

 Note From Canovas Saaguiily Sem
 fenced to Life Imprisonment.
 wASHIN6ToN. Dec. Su.--The Post this morning says that 1t has been learned from an authoritative source that Secre- tary Olney and Senor nupuy de Lomc, the spanish minister, have practically terini- mated the negotiations on the Cuban ques- tion, which are to be submitted to con greSs when it conveues on Jan. 5. The terms of the agreement arc based on the recent official communication from Ere mier CanoSas addressed to tho secretary of state.
 The premier states clearly the terms which Spain will accord to the insurgents and practically asks the United States to propose these conditions to her rebellious subjects In return for our good offices Spain assures this government that she sincerely deplores the great commercial loss which we have sustained on account of the Cuban disturbance. She assures us that she is even now considering recipro- city treaty which will deal mainly with Cuban products and which will be framed in such advantageous terms toward this government that our losses both in com meroe and in the destruction of American property in Cuba will be most generously compensated.
 Premier Canovas says that Spain can not, of course, as a self respecting and re- specting nation, stasd before the world as having been coerccd into measures by the United States. She has freely granted all that she now offers. ard that In the face of rebellion. But she accepts the good offices of the United States 10 act as medi- ator and to guarantee to the insurgents amnesty and tho enforcement of the new reform law which she is about to proclaim in Cuba.
 The form of government offered Is, the Spanish statesman declares, the limit of independence which can be granted to a province by any nation without absolute ly severing the bonds of union with the mother country. Autonomy, as enjoyed by the Canadians, can never be granted in Cuba
 What Spain is willing to grant the in- surgents if they lay down their arms and what she asks the United States 10 guar antee is an act whieh provides for coun cil of administration which shall control all matters pertaining to tho commerce oi the Indies and all estimates upon the gen eral taxation and expenditures of the is land as we'll as its general home govern menc

OVER A SCORE KILLED.
Passenger Train Hurled over a Hundred
 Feet From a Bridge.


 BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. aS.-The most disastrous railroad wreck that has ever taken place in this state occurred on the Birmingham Mineral road. The wreck oc- cured at what is known as the Cahaba bridge. about a miles from Birmingham, between Guerney and Blocton. The hridgc is about ], ,OoO feet long and about 100 feet high. The train jumped the track and plunged off the trestle to the rocks below. As to the number of passengers on board, the reports conflict, but the best obtain able information places the number at % to 80 Nine were taken out alive, but in a dying condition. The wreck caught fire, and many victims were burned to death.
 The wreck is regarded as almost certain ly accomplished by the removal of a rail on the middle span of the trestle. This de rallied the train, which caused it to fall down the two spans and precipitated it into the river, 1l0 feet below. The surviv ors arc So few and are so badly hurt that they are unable to give any detailed de scriptions of how it all happened. It Is not known and may never be ascertained just how many passengers were on the train. Most of them were miners and resi- dents of mining towns in this district who had round trip holiday tickets and were returning to their homes along the line of the Birmingham Mineral railroad.
