ENGLAND STOOD OUT.
European Powers win Not Attempt ia
Interfere.

LONDON, April 5.-The movement of
the powers of Europe for joint offer
of mediation between the United States
and Spain has received a severe and
probably fatal rebuff in the form of a
definite refusal upon the part of Great
Britain to participate in it.
The project for mediation Is distinct
lively of Spanish origin. The tenor Of
the communication was to the effect
that European interests were threat
ened by what Spain terms the ''pre-
tensions of the United States OF the
right to interfere in colonial matters. .
France, not Austria, was the prime
mover in the suggested mediation.
Great Britain's answer to the commu-
nication WAS, In substance, that the
Cuban question did not concern her.
Financial reasons seem to have actu.
ated France even more than dynastiC
interests Affected Emperor Francis
Joseph. Emperor William is known
10 be lukewarm in the matter. 1t Ii
still uncertain whether the contendine
powers will finally offer to mediate.

Identified b, a Blind Man.

A blind man picked out his dead wife
in the New York morgue few days
ago by the delicate sense OF touch, says
an exchange. Two women both of the
same name, and both OF whom died in
Bellevue, were taken to the dead house
at about the same time. When the
morgue-keeper caught the blind mans
right hand and guided 1t to an upturned
face, he said: mo, no; that's not my
Nary The drawer was closed and the
next pulled out. The sightless man
laid down his stick this time and used
both his hands. His face was transtig-
ured as the tips OF his fingers rested on
the sharp-set cold features. s'Mary,"
he whispered, II have found you. dear!
How thin your face has grown! How
cold you are, Mary-how eold!" The
blind man had made no mistake. The
dead woman had been his wife.

Poor Cuba.

Four Senators OF the United States
have lately returned from Cuba. They
visited the island expressly to see for
themselves the public situation and the
condition of the people. Each of the
distinguished visitors has reported
what he saw, in speech upon the
door of the Senate.
Their accounts all agree, in general
and in detail. The word Of either of
the Senator'S would have been accepted
without question. Combined, their tes-
timony is absolutely conclusive.
They tell a terrible tale. One of them,
Senator Proctor of Vermont, is recog-
nized as an unusually careful as we'll
as conservative man. We shall quote
from the Congressional Record few
of his expressions. In Havana quiet
prevails, but outside of the city tic is
desolatiou and distress, misery and
starvation" All the peasantry have
been forced to live-if they can live at
all-within the fortified towns. These
are the "reconcentrados" mentioned
in the dispatches from Cuba.
Torn from their homes,'' says Sen.
ator Proctor, with foul earth, foul
air, foul water, and foul food or none,
what wonder that one-half have died
and that one quarter OF the living are
so diseased that they cannot be saved?'
He saw many sights so horrible that
''they should not be photographed OF
shown"
The Senator spoke in the highest
terms OF the relief work which il be.
ing done by Miss Clara Barton and her
assistants: but he says that s.if oui
people could see a small fraction o.
the need, they would pour more freely
from their liberal stores than ever be
fore for any cause
Neither the military nor political sit
uation seemed to Senator Proctor hope
full for the Spanish cause. "All Gu
BANS" he says, fare insurgents al
heart" He characterizes the Spanish
rule as the worst misgovernment o.
Which ! ever had knowledge"
The statement from which we have
quoted has made profound impres
sion upon the American people. II
has made some Of them eager for {
declaration OF war against Spain, with
a purpose to put an end to the horrible
misgoyerument OF the island. Youths

1t II an Old Custom and stin Popular
Dating Back q Century
or More.

A pretty feature In Washington pro-
cessions, says the Star, political and ma
tionai, for many years, has been the
ship of state" or CONSTITUTION" as a
float, often complete in its appoint
ments. armed with miniature cannon.
and manned by sailors. Sometimes the
intervals between the appearance OF
such floats have been of such length
that the ship is hailed as an entirely
new figure. Under the name of .Con-
stitution" or ~ Union. however. the ship
float has been a feature in political
demonstrations in the United States
for over century. As far as known the
first exhibition of the kind Cat least in
this part of the country was in Bal
timore in 17ss, and the credit of its in
PRODUCTION belongs to Commodore
Joshua Barney. who. though mere
boy. was a valiant officer in the revolu-
tion. and distinguished himself in the
war of 1872 with his fiotilla. In that
year the ratification OF the constitution
was the great question before the peo-
pie, and there was a division OF senti-
ment on it, those in favor of it's ratifica-
tion as framed forming the federalist
party. In Baltimore great federalist
demonstration was projected--a pro-
cession from the eastern part OF the city
around what is now the harbor to the
hill south Of the basin. and mass meet
ing. Commodore Barney took promi-
nent part in this affair. had his ship in
line under the name of the "Fedcralist, .
and the name Of Federal Hill naturally
attached to the vicinity to which the
ship led the line and where the meeting
was held.

A Possible Explanation of Bermuda
boys Ignorance of American
History.


"The school children of the Bermudas
know nothing of American history
says New York woman who has Just
returned from Hamilton. according TO
the Sun. "one day, stopped and
talked with bright little colored boy
on the street. The Bermuda negro. you
know, is superior in intelligence to the
southern negro of this country. He
las neither the thick lips nor the fat
nose of our American negro. His SUI
periority is accounted for by the fact
that he has in his veins the blood OF
the Indians captured in King Philips
war and taken as slaves to the Ber-
mudas.

Civilization Is transforming nature in
surprising ways, says an exchange.
The dehorning Of cattle is an example.
as this practice is gaining favor so rapid.
~ that hornless cattle may be expected
soon to become the rule rather than the
exception. The first objections were
that 1t Is cruel and unnatural. The
early method Of dehorning with a saw

Every FeuoH- for His Country.

One of the best things that has been
told lately to illustrate the ready wit OF
the Irish was related In short adj
dress the other day by Hira Singh
Puri, of Punjab, India, who is making
short stay in this country prepara-
tory to resuming his labors in the mis-
sion field in India, says the Washing
Ton Post The occasion was meeting
of literary club, and the topics under
discussion was patriotism
Well. patriotism had been running
riot around there for sometime. Two
or three soul-inspiring speeches had
been made on the subject, with all
sorts of references to 'sthe flag i'Old
Glory" and the stars and stripes. An
old soldier arose, and in measure
threw cold water ON the desire of some
of the younger recruits to exterminate
the Spanish nation. His remarks were
not received with marked approval.
MIR. Puri was then called on for q
speech. He was delighted to see such
an overlooking of patriotic sentiment,
and said that it reminded him of an
Irish celebration that he had once at
tended. The speaker of the occasion
was an Irishman who was making one
of the speeches that only Irishmen
can make when on the subject of their
oppression by England. The speaker
finished his address, and was so worked
up that he burst forth with "Hurrah
for Ireland!n
A man in the rear, who had been
rather disguised with the whole pro-
ceeding, answered his outburst with:
''Oh, da- Ireland; hurrah for h---r'
The Irishman was staggered for a
moment, but recovered himself and
howled back: II can't help admiring
you, my friend. Let every man boiler

DOCTOR AND A MAN.
The Aged Discoverer of CoIIodIon ne
Gently Passed Away In Mas
snchrsetts.

The discoverer Of collodiou died In
Dedham lately, notes the Boston Her
aid. He was DR.. John Parker May
nard, who had been the leading physi-
clan there for many years. This dis
covery was made while DIR. Maynard
was still medical student. lie had
the conception in his mind at that
time, and engaged in series of expert
ments in little building which he
erected outside Dedham village, ard
finally brought them TO a success. His
object was the application Of colIodion
to operations in surgery, and he DEM
onstrated his usefulness here by APP
plying IL in 1877. He had sought to aid
surgery in this way rather than to
achieve pecuniary advantage, aud
hence gave collodion without price TO
the medical profession.
DR.. Maynard was a modest man and
never asked credit for himself for
what he had done. He thought that any
advantages that came from IL should
be the property Of his profession In
the interests Of human suffering. Col
iodion has grown into much wider
use since that time, but IL Is probable
that there Is less general knowledge OF
the man to whom the world owes its
introduction. DR.. Maynard was never
forward In enlightening them as to the
facts of its origination. He died at the
age OF 81. after a long and useful and
most honorable career in surgical and
medical practice.
