THE ONE QUESTION.

Arc the Cubans Cupable of (inverning Themselves as a Republic? Pittsburg Times: The Cubans are extremely anxious to obtain from the United States a recognition of their belligerent rights, believing, and possibly correctly, that under this recognition their independence would be secured. Under it they could buy arms and munitions of war in the United States, or their friends could ship them to them. They would have liberty of trade, and while they would not have liberty to enlist men for their armies, they would have the next thing to it. The barrier against recruiting would be practically broken down. It would be an easy matter to send recruits to Cuba as nominally the crews of merchant ships. Under a Rrant of belligerant rights there is no doubt that this would be winked at. More than that could not be permitted without laying ourselves open to the charge of furnishing men to fight a nation with whom we are at peace. But that would be enough. In the event of it, adventurers would flock to Cuba in hope cf gold and glory. With such assistance to the rebels it might be a question if the Spaniards could hold their own In the island long. The grant of belligerency is always a delicate matter, for it is always regarded as an evidence of hostility. In the event of it Spain would be convinced that when the moment came we would go farther in the interest of her rebels. That is one reason why the grant is refused. Another is that it might serve merely to encourage rebellion; that is, the Cubans might be conquered in spite of it. No nation likes to take the risk of recognizing a rebellion which does not give satisfactoiy proof that it will end in independence, for every nation which does that expects when independence is established, a return of the favor in the shape of trade or other privileges. Thi? is not the first rebellion in Cuba. There have been others which gave more promise of success than this one docs. Add that the authorities at Washington have their doubts of the ability of the Cubans to carry on an independ ent government if they had one, or at least such a government as would bo worth helping to create. If the Cuban people had had different training, or if they were of one blood, it is safe to say that the authorities at Washington would be more disposed to stretch a point in their favor. The parallel between France at the outbreak of the American Revolution and the United States now, as drawn by a representative of the Cubans, is greatly misleading, for France then had her revenge to wreak upon England through her revolted colonies, while we have none to wreak upon Spain, and as the comparative fitness of the Americans for self-rule then and the Cubans now, the less said the kindlier. It is a mistake to suppose that this country is opposed to liberty in refusing to grant them belligerent rights. It is opposed to involving itself in complications with Spain without reasonable certainty that the resulting good will justify it. DACHELORS' HALL TO DATE. One Kefusrd to Io Washing and Then Shot Hit J! rot her. Philip Ueohm and his brother Adam, both bachelors, kept house together at CG Grace street, Jersey City, says the New York World. Adam is thirty-five yara old md Philip is thirty. Philip was willing to spend money; Adair never spent a cent without sighing. On last Monday it was Philip's turn to do the family washing. He suggested that they should engage a washerwoman. Adam said "no," and to teach Philip a lesson put his food and clothes in a closet and kept the key. All through Monday the quarrel continued. The crisis came yesterday, when Philip tried to break open the closet door. Adam seized a club; Philip drew a revolver and fired. Adam groaned and fell over with a bullet in his abdomen. Philip then surrendered himself to the police and Adam was taken to the city hospital. The doctors think he will die. A Very 1VIe Connprtirnt Cat. "Why even the cats of Connecticut should bo more ingenious than ordinary ones, we cannot say; but this item indicates great ingenuity on the part either of the cat or of the man who told the story. William (lilen, of New London, threw some lobster meat to his cat. Cats are very fond of the delicacy, eo what was William's surprise on see ing Grimalkin lug the meat around the corner. Following her he found that she had placed it carefully in front of a large rat-hole as a bait. Then shelay in wait behind a barrel until an unwary rat came out and snapped the bait, when pussy pounced on him and broke his back with a single shake. IMaycd Iluifitf with a Credit nr. James H. Russell of KUenville, N. Y., gave a mortgage on his hotel furniture to John De Witt. Recently De Witt's lawyer went to take possession or the goods and found that the original bed room L-ets had been replaced by toy furniture and that a child's piano ol a cheap pattern filled the place of the piano on which the mortgage had been gn n. An examination was made of the mortgage and it was found that tlo make or style of the piano had not been Fpeufud and no description of the bed sets had been in.scrted. Tin- New ( oliiinlmn, In one of the recent public school examinations in New York City the pupils were directed to write what they knew about Columbus. One little boy handed in the following: "Christopher Columbus was born in 1192. 1771 he wandered off iato the woods with a hatchet, and was never heard cf again." .

HIGHEST TREES.

Tbey Are of the Kuraljptus Tribe of Gams and Are Found In Australia. In the Victorian state forest, on the slopes of the mountains dividing Gipps Land from the rest of the Australian colony of Victoria, grow the highest trees in the world, the noble gum trees of the genus eucalyptus. These trees range from 350 feet to 500 feet in height. One of the huge trees that had fallen was found, by actual measurement with a tape, to be 433 feet from the roots to where the trunk had been broken off by the fall, and at that point the tree was 3 feet in diameter. A cedar tree recently felled near Ocosta, Wash., measured 4G7 feet in height and 70 feet in circumference. Dr. Jmcs gives some interesting particulars of these gum trees. The eucalyptus globulus grow 40 feet in height in four years, in Florida, with a stem a foot in diameter. Trees of the same spec ics in Guatemala grew 120 feet in twelve years, and had a stem diameter of 9 fpet. Other species also attain enormous sizes eucalyptus diversicolor is known to grow 400 feet high, and trees have boon measured 300 feet long without a branch. Hoards 12 feet wide can frequently bo obtained. In 1SC0, a monster petrified tree va ; found in Baker county, Oregon. It was Just GM feet long, and at its butt was quite CO feet in diameter. Amber-like beads of petrified gum adhered to the sides cf the trunk for a distance of 100 feet or more. The VI n Was Fouiul. From the Dublin Mail. At an entertainment in Dublin a thought-reader boasted that he could find a marked pin hidden by one of the audience. The pin was hidden by a Trinity student in an adjoining room in the presence of the committee, among whom was a confederate. The student, suspecting the man from Iiis looks, slyly took away the pin from its hiding place. On his return to the platform the thoughtreader gazed into the hidor's face, and, putting his hand to his brow, was blindfolded and led the student to the hiding place, but of course could find no pin. He returned, acknowledged his defeat, and looked daggers at his confederate. "Now, gentlemen," said the student, "I'll undertake to say that if this diviner of the human mind will do as I tell him half the audience, without a single hint, will know where the pin is," and turning to the thoughtreader, he said: "Sit down." lie did so. There was a yell, and jumping up the thought-reader hastily pulled from his coat-tails the marked pin. Swee l ewis. Mis? V. -cfiXc Lewis, daughter of a well:do farmer, has been voted the prettiest girl in Audrian county, Mo. She wears this distinction and a diamond ring, which goes along with It, with tho sweet modesty of a rustic belle insensible to flattery and proof against affectation. She celebrated her triumph by Jumping on an old gray horse and riding up the road as fast as the animal could gallop.
