No Surprise That Mr. Croker Sold Out Belle
Monde.

Tho news wired from Nashville. to the effect
that Richard Croker had disposed OF his interest
in the Belle Meade Stud to Gen. w. H.. Jackson,
was not much of a surprise TO those who knew
how much the worst of the bargain the Tam
many o~nieftain got in the deal. which involved
an interest In ~Iroauois and all the other stations
and brood mares gathered at the historic stud.
When Mr.. Croker gave $3.50 900 to Gen. jack
son for q one.half interest in Belle Meade he
also contracted TO pay SO much per head for the
keep OF stations. brood mares and yearlings.
and Gen. Jackson was far from wor-
ried when the papers wero signed. Mr..
Croker bought Mt exactly the wrong
time. The price of yeerlings went OFF several
hundred per cent, and the amount OF money
realized for the young things did not pay ex-
penses; Prices have improved materially this
year, but thoT are far from what they were
when there was scarcely n sale OF prominence
where one or more yearlinGs did not bring &c.
600 or more. Mr.. Croker made money by selling
present of his interest in the farm.

SAN Francisco. Nov. 9.-The ATTORNEYS of
Theodore Durrant, the condemned murderer,
whose appeal to the United States Supreme
Court was denied to-day. declare that they have
other appeals that will prevent the hanging Of
Durrant for another year. but they admit that
these appeals are based on substantially the

day. District Attorney Barnes declared to-day
that II merely vexatious delays were interposed
by the lawyers, efforts would be made TO disbar
them.
He said the case had already cost the State
10000 and 1t was high time that 1t was ended.
There will be no occasion for resen'ence, as
Judge Bahrs, whose decision was appealed from,
can fix the day of execution within ten days
after Durrantis brought before him. IL is two

ARMENIA AND CUBA.

1t is a somewhat curious commentary on
the magnifying effect Of distance, that
the howl Of rage which went up all over
this country when the Armenian atrocities
were reported, has had but a faint echo
in connection with equally bad, if not
worse, prosecutions and butcheries that
for two years have been in progress almost
within sight OF our own shores.
In the Armenian case about every cross
roads school house from Maine to Cali
fornia had hot meeting on the subject,
and money and sympathy were showered
on the cause Of the oppressed IN the Cuban
case, where the people are struggling for
emancipation from a cruel and bloodthirsty
despotism, with greater cause than We
had when we struggled and fought for
independence in the last century, there is
a comparative lack Of active sympathy.
American citizens have been shot, chop
ped up, and tortured in Cuba, and nearly
without any, certainly without effective,
protest. What is the matter with our good
people, that the woes of the Armenians
should enraGe them SO much more than
the horrible sufferings of our next door
neiglIbors in the Island OF Cuba?
