TIE GRAPHIC yesterday published aninteresting interview from Savan- nah with Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in which that noble lady points out the disadvantages to come to the South in consequence of a war with Spain. She very correctly says that the brunt of the war will have to be borne by the people of the South, while all the contracts and financial benefits will go to tue North. The good lady also says that she would much prefer to see war declared because of the blowing up of the Maine than out of mis- taken sympathy for lot of half breed mulattoes in Cuba. And the GRAPHIC is very much inclined to Mrs. Davis opinion. If the ex- plosion of the Maine is eliminated as casus beli, the United States can predicate her intervent tion in Cuban affairs on no other grounds than those of sympathy for the suf- fering Cubans. While this is a very noble aud lofty purpose, it is a very foolish one, tor it is not incumben | upon the United States to guaran- tee the liberties of any other citizens than her own. We may free the Cubans, but in doing so we bring loss of life and sorrow to the homes of American citizens and create war debt which the ener- gies of the citizens of this country must pay. As we have before re- marked, it is a very noble and lofty purpose, but if the United States is to undertake to right the wrongs of the world, why did not this gov ernment interfere in behalf of the noble Greeks in their late and futile war against the Turks for the lib- eration of their own citizens in the Island of Crete, or why did this government not interfere in Arme- nia to protect the Christian Ar menians from the ruthless slaughter of the bloodthirsty Turks2 If we are to go out, Don Quixote like, to emancipate the enslaved and op, pressed of the world, our operations should not be confined to the Island of Cuba alone.

DURING all this war talk and prep arations for war it has been very painfully observable that there is little activity among the colored people in organizing volunteers to fight for the liberation of their own race in the Island of Cuba. This is not as it should be, for the colored citizens of the United States should be the first to go to war for the liberation of their kind in Cuba.

A CARD
To the Editor of the GRAPHIC,

To the Editor of the GRAPHIC,
 l have been asked by many person. al friends what l propose doing about a little dodger signed and cir culated on the streets this morning by E. H. Hummer, of the Courier. In reply, l desire tosay that I donot propose doing anything further than pursue the even tenor of my way, as heretofore, A long intimacy with Mir. Hummer eonyinees me that he is not nearly so dangerous as the thor oughbred colt had q difficulty with last week, and that he, like the re- fractory colt, has hurt himself worse than he has me.
 I regret that was asleep when Mr. P. called to see me at an early hour this morning. If the object of his visit was to return the money he borrowed from me some two years ago, he might have left it on my dresses or center table, as the door to my bedroom was not locked.

PROGRESS OF TIE WAR.

With the exception Of the battle in
Cardenas harbor. and the lombard
ment Of san Juan, which took place on
THURSDAY, and an engagement at Ca
banas which are reported N another
column, no serious fghtingis known to
have taken place since tue battle in
Manila bay. Reports Of battles at sea
and bombardments appear, under scare
headings, in the daily pa pers most every
day, but on careful perusal Of those
reports they most generally conclude
vi h the statement that there is no con-
1rmadon Of the same. The bonn
bardment Of Cienfugos Is reported bat
not confirmed, and it would seem to be
as hard for the public to arrive at the
truth as II Is to locate the Cape Verde
aeet. Indeed so many are the fake
battles reported that one cannot help
thinking that
II lies were bullets and each bullet hi, g
The war would have been over before il be
gan.
Reports are also rife that the Euro
pean powers have protested against the
bonbardment Of Manila, but it is the
duty Of every nation 10 protect its sub
Jects from injury. and they have doubt
less INSISTED on our government refrain
ing from the unnecessary destruction
Of the property Of their subjects
which would certainly attend the bonn
bardment OF the city unless sutfic:en.
number Of troops are present 10 restrain
the insurgents. This is all the protests
mean
Preparations are being made TO send
troops and supplies to Dewey, and
troops are being hurried 10 Tampa, Fla,
preparatory to the invasion of Cuba,
which Is likely to take place within the
next few DAYS.
In the mean time Spain's domestic
troubles are on the increase and there
Ia no knowing when there vii! a Carlist
uprising and a change Of rulers take
place. 1t is not likely, however, that if
Don Carlos succeeds TO the throne that
he would make peace, as he is very
wealthy and would carry on the war to
the bitter end.

The Brave at Home.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dis-embics,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry teardrOp hangs and trem bles,
Though heaven alone record the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop dear
As e'er believed the field Of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword.
Mid little one, who weep and wonder,
And bFave!y speaks the cheering word.
What though the heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field of battle
The mother who conceal; her grief
While 10 her breast her son she presses,
Then breathe- few brave words and brief
Kissing the patriot brow she blcsses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood a. ere the sod
Received on freedom field Of honor.

ENARY FROG.
This Fellow Has an Authentic History
and Is Truly Venerable.

A strange story OF frog is told by
one who is acquainted with the facts.
On the old Richie place, near Bards-
town, Ky, which abounds with relics
Of early days, is an old log spring
house, built at the beginning CT the
century by John Richie, the inventor
of the sour-mash process Of making
whisk! A never-tailins stream OF ice
cold water flows into this old house,
forming a pool several feet deep.
Here, since John Richie left Lyons
fort and built himself an Independent
dwelling. it is alleged a giant bullfrog
has had its home. AS the frog family
is endowed with great longevity, it is
said by those who ought to know that
is the same one which took up its resi-
dence in the Richie spring house il
pioneer times. What lends color to
this theory is the fact that there has
never been but one frog seen in the
neigh borhood CT the Old spring, and
Stephen Richie, now a man well ad-
yanced in years, states that this same
frog. or one very similar to it, had its
home in the spring when he was a
child and that he has often heard his
grandmother term the frog her rain
sign. The frog IS said TO be of vast
that can be heard a great distance. 1t
is very active, and shows no evidence
OF its century or more OF years.

Catholic Loyalty.

Some people would seem 10 doubt
the loyalty Of our Roman Catholic fell
n"cltlzen5 in the present struggle with
Spain, presumably upon the ground
that Spain is a Catholic nation and that
religion Is thicker patriotism. Judging
bv our past history, there are no good
reasons to suspect that the patriotism of
even five per cent. Of them "is warped
by their bgotry.' Every ship in our
fleet and every regiment in the army
has lis quota Of Catholics, no are ready
and willing to defend the nations honor
at any cost. There Is nothing irrcii-
Gfons in Catholics fighting On opposite
sides any more than Protestants. The
man who loves not his native land. >
savs the Leo MIL, is unworthy of
6od blessing" and every man is in
duty bound to obey his country's call.
\ man NAV doubt the wisdom Of the
governments course and be opposed 10
war, az many people of all classes in this
country are. but they are none the less
loyal 10 the flag. In any case this is no
