WILLIAMSVILLE.
The Horse THIEF which Some williams
VILE People Saw.

The stolen Wiliamsvlle horse is back
at its home again, as per particulars noted
in another Phoenix column. Mr. Willard
is much pleased to secure the animal in
apparently good condition, although he is
out of pocket some $50 or $40 in the tran
saction. He would not mind this so much,
however, If the thief could have been
brought back here and required to enter
at once into the reward for his act. This
will doubtless come in good time, when
three or four prior matters in Massachu-
sets have been expiated.
The transgressor proves TO have been a
smooth faced man of II years. Several
people in this vicinity who saw him de-
scribed him as a mddle-aged man with a
mustache. He was also seen by several
persons riding the horse down through our
village. 1t seems that he led it all the
way till he secured the bride at George
SargenCs in Dummerston. 1t has seemed
singular to many why he should have ia
ken the most direct route to the pasture,
several miles from any habitation, return
ing as quickly as the owner of the horse
could had he gone in person. 1t now APP
pears, however, that while passing up
through West Dummerston he stopped TO
talk with a man, stating that he formerly
worked for Sam II. Morse of South New
fame. Mr.. Morse is large owner of high
grade horse flesh, and for several seasons
has had horses in this same pasture. The
thief doubtless came to Vermont after one
of Mr.. Morse's horses.

The Messenger is we'll satisfied that
Generl Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, and
General Wheeler, of Alabama, have
been made major generals of the Unit
ed States. 1t is very certain that the
south is entitled to some recognition
Of this kind. She proposes to do some
of the fighting as it may be necessary,
and to bear our proportion of tax bur-
dens. General Lee is a very popular
American at present by reason of cir
cumstances. He is not a great man,
but a sensible, brave, true man. In the
great war he was not regarded as the
equal of his cousin, General w. H. F.
Lee, son of the great Lee. But he was
brave and resolute. General Wheeler
is most gallant, too. He die effective
service in behalf of the confederacy.
He was a good fighter, and Sherman's
bummers and Fitzpatrick's cavalry
rabble had a wholesome dread of the
little Alabamian, full of fight and such
a good hunter of scoundrels. What
kind of a commander he would
make in the field we are not
prepared to say. OF the living con-
federates-all the great soldiers are
gone noW-perhaps the best from &C
tual tests in battle is General Gordon,
Of Georgia. But there are still many
who did some good fighting if in COM
mand. Generals Hoke, of Mort Caro-
lima; Butler, of South Carolina; CHamp-
ton is too old and infirm) Lee, Of Mis-
sissippi, and scores Of brigadiers all
around would give the Spaniards a
lively time" with brave and dashing
troops to handle. Let the south be
remembered some in the distribution
of officers. Let our people not lose
thir heads, but remain watchful and
~self-poised, and only favor war when
it is waged in mercy and nobility,
avoiding b%rutalities and vandalism.
This country has no need of mere po-
litical soldiers. Put only tried men in
command.

Sydney Smiths witticisms are world
famous. He said about as many ''goOd
things" as any other man not even ex-
cepting Dean Swift. Rev. Sydney was
an inveterate humorist. Here is a
new saying of his, not appearing in
hitherto accounts of him. 1t is given
by a writer in London Temple Bar for
April:
'Luttrell came here for a day, I
thought not from good pastures. AT
least he had not mis- Usual soup-and-
pattie looked. There was a forced smile
on his cOuntenance which seemed to
indicate plain roast and boiled, and a
sort of apple-pudding depression, as if
he had been staying with a clergy
man."
The original name of the family of
the greatest sea-fighter, lord Horatio
Nelson, was Nelson.
Frederick Harrison, the excellent
English writer and sane critic, gives it
as his opinion that the poetical drama
by the late Louisa Shore is "a noble
conception of a great hero" Hannibal,
and that the INERT of his piece is to
lave seized the historical conditions
with such reality and such truth, and
to have kept so sustained a flight at a
high level of heroic dignity"
Scott is dying out" The proof is
thai there are six new editions of the
"Great Wizard" now appearing in
Great Britain, some sumptuously' and
deliberately illustrated. Then there are
perhaps fifteen or twenty other edi-
tions already on the market. Yes,
great Scott is dying out" but only

nor imaginative taste enough to appre-
ciate the great story-teller of the
world.

effective, as Spanish soldiers, are said
TO have left them n fled into the

his ships with marked dash. galIantry
and determination. He doubtless ere
this has shelled the town, as he had
demanded the torpedoes and amfnu-
milton, threatening bombardment IL
refused. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that it will prove speedily successful.
Commodore Dewey showed he was
cool-headed, self-contained, r~esolute
and full of venture. He has a splen-
did squadron and knows how to handle
1t to the great advantage of the enc
NY. He demanded all the coal at Ma
aila. He also demanded the surrend-
clined he would lombard every port.
If he needs land troops they will be
sent at once. They will go from the
west. The Spanish fleet has ceased to
exist. Hurrah and hurrah, The Bal
timore Herald places the victory in a
clear, strong light. 1t says:
1.-THE achievement Of Commodore
Dewey must be recorded as having
been n of the most brilliant in the
history of naval warfare. Entering a
hostile harbor with six ships and at
lacking a fleet of nine, fighting under
cover of a powerful fort, he Won
a battle against odds which must ever
characterize it as a brilliant and dar-
ing undertaking. His position was
unique, not to say desperate. He had
burned his bridges behind him. All
ports were closed to him: and he was
5000 miles from his base of supplies.
He had orders to fight, and fight he
did, in a way which will ever reflect
and renown on the American
sailor"

THE SPANISH PLAN AND FLEET.

Spain is still hopeful, boastful and
plucky. There will be no thought of
peace until her fleets unite to give bat
tie at sea to the Americans. 1t is to
be hoped our navy department will
hasten or a fastened to strengthen
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet The Mes
senger thus far has not been in the
least disappointed in the Spaniards.
They have grim courage and persist
ency, backed by great pride and in
tense hatred.
All the signs indicate a great sea
fight not many days hence. The evil
dence is plain that our squadron at
Havana is getting ready for some de-
cisive movement. 1t should be made
stronger by other ships. This can be
done. Will it be done? There is too
much at stake to risk a great battle
with inferior numbers. Certainly two
or fou ships Of the strongest can be
spared to strengthen the Sampson
squadron and meet the Spanish fleets
combined with an excellent showing
for success. An aggressive, resolute
policy is the one to win and bring
peace with glory. The Washington
Post thinks that the end at Havana is
near at hand-that General Blanco and
command must soon e%vacuate, and
Moro Castle is doomed. 1t thinks the
American flag Will soon wave over Ha-
vana. So be it! They must hurry up,
for the mighty braggart and liar is
coming-Weyler. American troops will
soon be in Cuba-a few thousands. 1t
is reported from Key West thai a
concerted attack on the Havana forts
has probably been designed. We think
this very doubtful, because our fleet is
certainly wary enough to watch the
movements of the Spanish war vessels.
It may have it's hands very full with
out engaging now the Havana de-
fences. A dispatch from Key West to
The New York Mail and Express of
the End said that Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet has instructions to take aboard
provisions for a long voyage.

THE GREAT VICTORY.

Although the country is still in the
dark as to much that has happened at
Manila, enough is certainly known to
give perfect assurance that the vic
tory was glorious. 1t is indeed viewed
every way a great victory. 1t estab-
fishes the supremacy of American arms
on the high seas we must hope. While
we are lacking in official details, and
are dependent upon Spain for the facts
as thus far published, enough is Ger
tain to give great rejoicings and re-
newed confidence to the American peo-
pie. The battle was bravely and skill
fully managed by the Americans. The
Spaniards under the cover of the guns
of three forts began the fight. The
American squadron consisted Of six
cruisers of different sizes and one rev.
enue cutter. The fight lasted two
hours. The result was a most COM
plete and crushing victory. The she'll
ing Of the forts appear to have been
