The reported concentration of the
Spanish naval fleet at Cadiz is viewed

There is hope in every man who can
yet believe in purity; but he whose vice
is so confirmed that he does not credit
the existence of virtue, is irreclaimable.
No disease of the mind can more ia
tally disable it from benevolence. the
chief duty of social beings, than ill
humor and peevishness for though it
breaks not in paroxysms of outrage, nor
bursts into clamorous, turbulence and
bloodshed, it wears out happiness by
slow corrosion, and small injuries inces-
sanity repeated. 1t may be considered as
the can1er of life, that destroys it's Wig
or, and checks its improvement, that
creeps on with hourly depredations, and
taints and vitiates what it cannot con-
sumo.

ABOUT DOGS.

No member of the canine family has
been more perslstently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no in
innate knowledge Of the dog and his
attributes have described him as stupid
ly ferocious, and illustrators have pic
tured him as a sort of serni-wild beast
till the general public has come to look
upon him as dangerous.
"Give a dog a bad name" is am old
saw, and perhaps true one, but when
1t is applied to the bulldog 1t is manifest
ly unjust. Writers, too, have fallen into
grave error in claiming that the bull
dog is deficient not only in affection but
in intelligence.
Stonehenge. who is considered one of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that Of the spaniel which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race, while
the bulldogs affection is never to be
doubted-Outing.

SPANISH CRUISERS TO VISIT US


Madrid, Jan. 2S.--A seni-official note
just issued in relation to the visit of the
United States battleship Maine to Cuba
says; This necessitates Captain Cen
eral Blanco's sending battleship as
well as the cruiser Vizcaya to visit
American ports. The visit will be made
the occasion for festivities in honor of
the Spanish sailors, and different naval
commanders will exchange visits.
1.-THE forthcoming festivities are regard
ed here as well as in Washington as a
pacific demonstration calculated to be
satisfactory to both countries.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Madrid last night said it had been
decided to send the first class cruiser
Infanta Maria Teresa to the United
States instead Of the Vizcaya because the
commanding officer of the latter, Capt
Concas, during lecture before the Ma
drid Geographical Society, in 1895, CEN
sured the United States in a manner
that provoked the United States min
lister to Spain, Mr.. Hannis Taylor, to
demand an explanation.
