THE EAGLE. OFFICIAL PAPER OF TfiE COOXTT. d Ecvrrii, iivmAivA. ' • ~FRIDA¥7/tJ»ETi. 18C». Cheap Patriotism. The 30th, of May was generally observed by the Grand Army of the Republic and the “loyal” generally in decorating soldiers’ graves. Gen. Corse and several otlmr brave soldiers recently “lost their heads,” being decapitated by the Grant Administration ; but we have not learned that any of their graves have been decorated. It is a custom truly commendable; we rejoice to sec this annual tribute to our fallen heroes; but the Grand Army and all the “loyal” hosts should not forget the living heroes who were atihe front in the day of trial. But now that it is passed they are not fit to hold a petty office under the Govern“ent - ’of *tGe dead ; prescribes the living «oldier and gives his place to “repentant” rebels. When we think of it, our cheek mantles with the blush of shame, that party greed and selfishness governs the great “God and morality” party—the truly “loyal.” Affairs in Cnba. At the present time the situation in Cuba is of absorbing interest?— General Dulce the Spanish commander being accused of sympathy with the insurgents has been compelled to resign his position, and for the present anarchy of • the genuine Mexican style is the ruling power. The home Gov- 4 ernment have appointed Cabellers de Rodas in his place, who is represented as being as cruel and vindictive as a Nero. He figured prominently iu the recent revolution in Spain and proved himself a blood thirsty monster. He will arrive in Cuba soon and assume a more merciless and sanguinary character than they have hitherto assumed.

In the meantime the revolt has gradually gained in strength and material. From various expeditions fitted out in this country they have received 21,000 stand of small arms, and 22 pieces of artillery.— There is every reason to believe the insurgents will give Gen. Rodas plenty to do, and that the rebellion is now on a firmer footing than ever, being more perfect in organization and stronger in material. The Alabama Question. London, June 5.-—The temperate speech of Lord Clarendon, in the house of lords, last evening on the subject of the Alabama treaty, has elicited the following com meats from London journals this morning: The Times says : “For our part considering tl e demands of America and the ready concessions of England, we wonder the latter got off so weU. The T rejection of the treatyjjms more a luck}’ chance than the result of firmness of any body engaged in behalf of Great Britain.” The Standard says: “The negotiations for the Alabama treaty failed because America never intended them to succeed. If Eng land now admits that it is her duty to renew efforts for a peaceful settlement. it is without hope. Our honest desire for such settlement J will l»c appreciated but by a small section of the American people j Meantime, until the details of Mot I ley’s mission are-known, we should fold our hands and limit our compliments to him as the great historian.” The A'*'tr says: “Americans can no longer doubt our willingness to do right, or our determination to preserve our national character and credit.”

Ths Telegraph regards the B|M>ech of Lord Clarendon as neither defiant nor subservient, hut as dignified by a firmness which expresses the national determination. It shows that what may be solicit tai with success is contained in the articles of the rejected treaty, and that what it is hopeless to suggest is contained in Mr. Sumner’s speech. England will never put a troublesome pressure on Mr. Mot ley, to hasten the completion of hi* task: but will l>e always ready to cancel even- trace of angry feeling likely to disturb the relations of the kindred nations. Th* Ijiporte A row* says “A farmer, on Tuesday last,' brought 90 bushels of potatoes to this market, for which he received just enough to pay the dressmarker's charge for making two ladies’ j suit*-—one for his wife and the other tor his daughter.”

From a Communication in the Sew Nork Independent. The Good Country. Among the throng waiting the departure of the train was a group of emigrants; and in it two children crying bitterly, apparently from sheer sleeplessness and fatigue. “Poor little things,” I said, “how tired thej’ seem.” “Yes,” answered the mother, who stood by, trying to comfort them—a meanly clad, looking woman, but with soft, dark eyes and abundant chestnut hair coiled under her torn hood. “Yes, they are tired out. We landed yesterday from England, after five long weeks at sea. But, thank God! 1 don’t mind it now. We’ve got to the good country.” Sweet-faced, weary woman, may it indeed prove to you and your children a good country, and in i the far western home you go to gain may you find cheer and plenty to compensate you for the hardships of the past. The good country ! That is what America is to toiling, straitened millions all over the earth ; and God grant that »4- -»-*-**»— - — - * *

Andrew Johnson on Grant. Cincinnati, June 3.—Andrew Johnson addressed an audience of 3,000 people, at Clarksville, Tenn , yesterday, and, after comparing Senator Sumner to Jeff. Davis, thus wound up on Gen. Grant: “They call Grant a second Washington. Let us see how he merits the name. In his first inaugural, Washington said : ‘The magnitude and difficulty of the trust to which the voice of my countrymen has called me, bring sufficient cares to awaken in the wisest and most experienced citizen a distrust of Jits powers to carry on the great and responsible duties, and to doubt his qualifications for so great and grand a trust.’ In his first inaugural Grant said: ‘The res- • ponsibilities of my position are very great, but I assume them without fear.’ There is the first contrast—the diffidence and dignity of one, and the arrogance and : self sufficiency of the other.— ! Washington did notenter the exec I utive mansion as into a grand gift establishment, but how is it with the second Washington ? He was approached by one man, whom he afterward appointed secretary of the treasury, with’a 665,000 check; I by his future secretary of the navy ’ with a deed to a furnished house j in Philadelphia; by his attorney ■ general, that was to be, with an expensive library; and so on, ad infinitum, each one that hoped for an office coming with an expensive gift to purchase it. Here is a sec- ; ond comparison : The real father of his country was for the maintenance of the principles and the good of his country, while the see- ■ ond Washington was shrewdly 1 looking out for himself.”

Advice to Laboring Men.— Horace Greeley gives following advice to laboring men : “We do most earnestly seek to impress on the class of hired laborers that they need not and should not remain hirelings forever. We profoundly disbelieve that God has made any one to be some other man’s Tom, or Bill, or Joe, to the end of his days. We would have every one who has nothing but his hands to do with, accept the best wages that are offered him and earn them by faithful effort. But we would have him save a good part of those wages with deliberate intent to escape from or rise above the hireling condition at an early day.”

The National Barber Shop.— Why asks the JV. J'. Times, should the United States Government, or rather why should the people of the United States, pay the barber's bills of the honorable Sena tors? We find in the recent re port of the Senate contingent fund a number of items in reference to this business that arc rather cdd. For example, there is an appropriation for shaving mugs, shaving brushes and honey soap; there are appropriations for cologne,, bay rum and alcohol; for cosmetics, extract gihger and spirits of camphor; for bathing sponges (835), flesh brushes and plate brushes, and for a variety of .articles that show the most remarkable taste among Senators. But why should the people of the country, who are hardly able to pay their own barbers, be compelled to support” a national burlier shop for Senators ? —Statesman.

llis Idea of Honor.—General Grant gave his personal assurance to Gen. McGroarty, of Cincinnati—the gallant and mutilated soldier —that he should not be dis tnrbed in his office of Revenue Collector, and removed him with in forty eight hours. General Grant, at the same time gave his jiersonal assurance to a Collector in the Interior of New York, who had lost both his legs in the war, and displaced him in less titan one day. “Oh. we are all honorable men!"—JC. J’crnon Banner. \

The Husband of the Future. —The following is from the Charleston Courier: The model husband walks out with his wife on a week day, and is not afraid of a milliner’s shop. He even has “change” when asked for it, and never alludes to it afterward. He is not above carrying a large bundle or a cotton umbrella, or even holding the baby in his lap in an omnibus. He runs on krst to knock at the door when it is raining. He gets outside if the cab is full. He goes to bed first in cold weather. He gets up in the night to rock the cradle or answer the door-bell. He believes in hysterics, and is melted instantly by a tear. He patches up a quarrel with a velvet gown, and drives away the sulks with a trip to Central Park. He never flies out about his buttons, nor brings home friends to supper. His clothes never smell of tobacco.— He respects the curtains, and never smokes in the house. He nev er invades the kitchen, and would no more think of “blowing up” any of the servants alatch-key. He lets the family go out of town once every year, while he remains at home with one knife and fork, sits on a brown Holland chair, sleeps on a curtainless bed, and has a chair-woman to wait on him. He is very easy and and affectionate, keeping the wedding anniversary regularly.

Arab Women. The Arab women on the banks of the Nile add to delicacy of form and natural elegance, a striking simplicity of dress. The poorest wear nothing but a long blue chemise, with a veil of the same color —one corner of which veil they hold in their mouths when they meet any men, especially Europe ans. A large mask of black taffeta covers the face of the richer females, leaving nothing to be seen but the eyes and forehead. Earrings, several necklaces of shells or paste, intermingled with amulets of silver or of polished copper, bracelets, various and multiplied; the chin, the arms and part of the hands tattooed with blue, the eyelashes tinged with black—such are the particulars which complete the dress of an Arab female, and which, not withstanding their apparent fantasticalness, produce an original and graceful ensemble. STATE SEWS. There are several cases of smallpox at Whiteland, in Johnson county. The total amount of income tax in the Eighth district foots up §5,076 58. A quarry of limestone, pronounced by competent judges to be the best in the state, has just been opened near Lexington, Scott county. . ThePunam Banner says: “St. John’s day, June 24. is to be celebrated by the Masons of Bainbridge, in fine style. The programme includes a basket dinner and an address by Col. R. WThompson, of Terre Haute.” On Friday last, John Lanyon, a Frenchman, living near Vincennes, cut his throat with a razor while in a state of mental alteration. The wound did not prove fatal. The measles prevail to such an extent in Lebanon that the publicschools have been closed, —and it is spreading rapidly. The same disease prevails to a greater ex tent in Thorntown. Dogs are making sad havoc among the sheep in Washington county. Near New Albany, Washington county, 23|sheep, on their way to market, were killed by dogs. The New Albany glass works, when running to their full capacity, employ 21 persons in making the wicker-work for demijohns and bottles. This work is mostly performed by women and girls.

The Richmond Enguier advises young men to give up the velocipede and take to the hoe. A lecture was recently delivered at New Haven on “Woman, the Comirig Man.’ A wife full of truth, love and innocence, is the prettiest flower a man can wear next his heart. Some persons worship the Lord as the Indians do the devil, that he may do them no hurt. Why is a pretty girl’s foot like the letter Y ? Because it is at the eud of beauty. Two romantic girls in London recently sought death in company by stabbing temselves with their scissors. There are two fruits of folly visible in the world’. Men will not do when they can, and afterward cannot when they would. One’s age should be tranquil as one’s childhood should be playful; hard work at either extremity of human existence is out of place. The odor of flowers is never so sweet and strong as before a storm. Beautiful soul! when the storm draws draws nigh thee, be a flower. We should never remember the benefitis we have conferred upon others, nor forget the favors we have received from our friends.
