The President's Message on the Cuban Question.

Is hla meant* <* Cuban aflUra.deHreed to CoDgran on the ISU>, jW deavGnnt racitea that during the ax month* which have named rince the date oi hla annual meeMsetoOongreaa, “ the oondlttoa of the Inaurgente haa not improved, and th* hwurrvQtion Itself, although net aubdned, exhibits no aign of advaaoa, tat aeema to be confined to an irregular system of hostilities carried on by small bands of armed men, without concentration, through the woods and roarsely-populated regions of the island, attacking from ambush conveyances and small bands of troops, burning plantations and estates of those not in sympathy with their cause. But the insurrection has not gained ground. It is equally true that Spain haa not suppressed it. Climate, dis ease, etc., have worked destruction among the soldiers of Spain, and though the Spanish government has posession of every seaport town, they have not been able to subdue the hostile feeling which haa driven a considerable number of the natives to armed resistance against Spain, and still leads them to endure the danger and privations of the life of guerrillas. On the other side, the contest has been conducted, and is now carried on, with a lamentable disregard of human life, and the usages which modern civilisation has prescribed as the necessary process of war. The war of Spaniard and Cuban is alike bringing devastation over fertile regions. Mura, grous and revengeful decrees are issued and executed by both parties. Count Valmaaeda and CoL Bolton, on the part of Spain, have each startled the humanity and aroused the indignation of the civilized world by the execution each of a score of prisoners at a time, while Gen. Quesada, the Cuban chief, coolly, and with apparent unconcern, has admitted the slaughter, by his own order, in one day, of upward of 650 prisoners of war. A summary trial, with a few, if any, escapes from conviction, confirmed by execution, is the fate of those arrested on either side on suspicion of infidelity to the cause of the party making the arrest Whatever may be the sympalhies of the people or of the government of the United States for the cause or objects for which the people of Cuba are understood to have put themselves in armed resistance to Spain, there can be no question of past sympathy in a conflict earned on by both parties alike in such a barbarous violation of the rules of all civilized nations, and with such combined outrage. On the plainest principles of humanity we cannot discriminate in our censure of the mode of conducting the contest between .Spain and Cuba. Each commit the same atrocities, and outrage alike the established rules of war. The property of many of our citizens has been destroyed or embargoed, the lives of several have been sacrificed, and the liberties of others have been restrained. In every can that has come to the knowledge of the government, an early and earnest demand for reparation and indemnity has been maue, and a most emphatic remonstrance been presented against the manner in which the strife is conducted, and against the reckless disregard of human life, the wanton destraction of material wealth, and the cruel disregard of the established rules of civilized warfare.” After alluding to the steps previously taken by the President, “in the hope of bringing the conflict to an end, and for the securing to the people of Cuba the blessings and rights of independence,” which efforts had so far failed of their ob art, and after citing precedents and auorities on the question of neutrality, the message concludes as follows: “ The question of belligerency is one of feet not to be decided by sympathy or prejudice against either party. The relation between the present state of the insurgents must amount in fact to war according to international law. The fighting,' though fierce and protracted, does not alone constitute war. There must be military forces acting in accordance with the rules and customs of war, flags Jot truce, exchange of prisoners, etc.; and to justify’* recognition of belligerency, there m£st be above all a de facto political organisation of the insurgents sufficient in character and resources to constitute, if left to Itself, a state among the nations capable of discharging the duties of a state and meeting the just responsibilities it may incur as such toward other powers in the discharge of its national duties. “Applying the best information which I have been able to gather, whether from official or unofficial sources, including the very exaggerated statements which each party give to all that may prejudice the opposite or give credit to its own side oi the question, lam unable to see in the present condition of the contest in Cuba those elements which are requisite to con stitute war in the sense of international law. The insurgents hold no town or city; have no established seat of government ; they have no prize courts; no organization for receiving or eolketing revenue ; no seaport to which a prize may be carried, or'through which access can be had by a foreign power to the limited interior territory and mountain fastnesses which they occupy. The existence of a Legislature representing any popular constituency is more than doubtful in its uncertainty. There is no probable evidence of an election; of any delegated authorities of any government outside the limits of the camps occupied from day to day by the moving companies of the insurgents. There is no commerce, no trade, either internal or foreign; no man- • ufactures. The late Commander-in-Chief of the insurgents, having recently ceme to the United States, publicly declared that all commercial intercourse and trade with the exterior world has been utterly cut off, and he further added: ‘To day we have not 10,000 arms in Cuba.’ It is a well-established principle of public law that a recognition of a foreign state of belligerent rights to insurgents under circumstances such as now exist in Cuif not justified by necessity, is a demonstration of moral support to the rebellion. Such necessity may hereafter arise, but it has not yet arisen, norjis its probability clearly to be seen. If it be a war between Spain and Cuba and be recognized, it is our duty to provide for the consequences which may ensue in the embarrassment of our commerce and the interference with our marine. It belligerency be recognized, the commercial marine of the United States becomes liable to search and seizure by the oomtniarioned cruisers of both parties, and become subject to the adjudication ot prize courts. Our large coastwise trade between the Atlantic and Gulf States, and between both and the Isthmus of Panama and the other States of South America, engaging the larger part of our commercial marine, passes, of necessity, almost within eight of the island of Cuba. Under the treaty with Spain of 1795, as well as by the laws of nations,'our vessels will be liable to visits on the' high seas. In case of belligerency the carrying of contraband goods, which now is lawful, becomes liable to risks or seizure and eondawntion. “In view of the gravity of this question, I have deemed it my duty to invite the attention of the law-making power of the country to all the relations and bearings of the question in connection with and granting of belligerent rights. There is not a £ fado garemtßtxX in Cuba sufficient to execute the laws, or to maintain the just relations with other nations. Spain has not been able to suppress the opposition to Spanish rule on the Island, nor to award •peody justice to other nations, or

to dtiasna of other nations, when their righto have been involved. There ar* serious complications growing out of the seizure of American vessels upon the high seas; executing American citizehs without proper trial, and confiscating or embargoing the property of American citizens. Solemn protests have been made against every intrusion of the rights of citizen t. of the United States, or our flag upon the high seas, and all proper steps have been taken, and are pressed for proper reparation of every indignity complained of. The question of belligerency, however, which Is to be decided upon definite principles, and according to ascertained facts, is entirely different from and unconnected with tne other questions of the manner in which the strife is carried on on both sides, and the treatment of our citizens entitled to our protection. These questions concern our own dignity and responsibility, and they have been made, as khave said, the subject of repeated cofemun(cations with Spain, and of protests and demands for redress on our part. It'is hoped that these will not be disregarded ; but should they be, these questions will be made the subject of a further communication to Con-

gress.

CURRENT ITERS.

A nephew of Douglas Jerrold is making wood-cuts in New Orleans. The American game of base-ball has been introduced into Scotland. Thu way to treat a man of doubtful credit is to take no note of him. There are 597 convicts in the Massachusetts State Prison. The Washington Life avoids the faults of both mutual and stock companies. The tickets for the grand ball given the Boston excursionists in San Francisco were $25 each. Brigham Youkg haa announced that he has but sixteen wives and only fortynine children. There are 40,000 Americans residing in Paris, and they are about to establish an American paper. About one million dollars’ worth of Chinese flreworks are used in this country every Fourth of July. The President of the oldest Life Insurance Company in New York is insured in the Washington Life. ■ Robert Rankin, one of the three original founders of Sabbath-schools, died recently in Liverpool. The Agricultural Society of England, composed of the ablest and most important men in the kingdom, has 5,438 members. The degree of Bachelor of Arts was lately conferred upon ten young ladies of the graduating class at Rutger’s College, New York. It has been curiously shown in the French Academy that certain plants are as sensitive to the influence of chloroform as animals. A smart old lady of seventy-two years, in Decatur county, Ind., recently walked thirty miles in one day, to pay her taxes and buy a new spring bonnet. The Bath Times says that the town of Westport, Me., containing over 1,200 inhabitants, has neither a grog shop, lawyer, minister, nor doctor. Two girls, aged nine and thirteen, re snectively, were recently sentenced in Trenton, N. J., to one year’s imprisonment each, for theft. A lady is now studying divinity at Harvard and pursuing the same course with the male students, though her name is not admitted to the catalogue.

A court in Indiana has decided that a person who accepts a “pass” to travel free on a railroad, cannot recover damages of the company if he encounters an accident. One of the latest notions is the birth card , resembling a wedding-card, but bearing the name of the new comer and the date of its advent, with the initials of its parents. Charles Brown, for burglary and assault and battery upon an aged couple at Germantown, Pu, in April last, has been sentenced to an imprisonment of twentyfour years ! A company of ybtmg banditti, of ages ranging from tin to twelve years, were discovered a sow days since at Rockport, Me. They had a camp from which they would make raids for plunder. A young lady at Cambridge, Mass., for several j ears leading clerk in the Middlesex Registry of Deed office, has opened an office in Boston for the purpose of carrying on the business of conveyance of real estate One of the gifts of Charles Dickens which will always reflect credit upon him, was a donation of $1,700 sent to Dr. 8. G. Howe of Boston, to lie expended in printing for the blind, copies of the “ Old Curiosity Shop." A farmer near Tipton, lowa, was ncently drinking out of a brock when a water snake over a foot long went down his throat as quick as lightning. The fanner experienced no bad effects, and the next day the snake left his stomach. Two boys, aged respectively 12 and 13 years, started from Cedar Falls, lowa, a few days ago, for the plains to hunt bears and Indians. They were overtaken about twelve miles from home, taken back to thtir mammas, and spanked. A woman offered the customary prayer at the opening of the Connecticut House, a few days ago, for the first time in the history of the State, and one of the New Haven papers states that she made a most commendable invocation. Judge Deady, of Oregon, has decided that a marriage celebrated at sea, or within the jurisdiction of another State, between persons leaving that State for the purpose, is a fraudulent evasion of the laws of Oregon, and, therefore, null and void. A Chinaman was arrested in San Francisco for shooting and nearly killing his wife, and plead that he accidentally exploded the pistol. The woman was brought on the stand and swore that she shot herself. The Justice dismissed the case in disgust.

Eleven Pittsburgh jurymen greatly annoyed the twelfth, a staid and respected citizen, who, after stating his opinion, lighted his pipe and reiused to listen to what they called reason. On returning into court he informed the Judge that they would not give in, and even his Honor couldn’t beat brains into their heads. The Washington correspondent ot the Boston Advertiser fays: “ The champion census taker is W. D. Dempster, assistant marshal of the Fourteenth Ward of Cincinnati, whose returns were to day (June 10th) received by Gen. Walker. He had 1,440 names on his list, did his work in three days and a half, and sends in papers every way satisfactory to the superintendent A Lynn, Mass., correspondent mentions a little incident of D. F. and Bob G. The latter had applied for admission to an orthodox church. His occupation was that of a cobbler, and an indifferent cobbler he. was at that. After church F. beckoned one of the deacons across the street, and said: “Well, Deacon, Bob G. wants to join’bur meeting.” “Yes; do yon know anything against him?” “Well, no; but before you take a final vote on him, I’d just lure to show you a job of cobbling he did for me; that’s aIL” The following story is told of urn-

lucky Engl Uh man in Parla, who did not know one word of the polite tongue: “Beating himself in a restaurant, he pointed to the firat article on the bill of fare, andfthe polite waiter brought him a Iragrun plate of beef-aonp. When it was cmpatched he pointed, io the second line. The waiter bronghuwm a vegetable soup. * Rather more coup than I want,’ be thought, * but thia is the Paris fashion.’ He duly pointed to the third line, and a nlate or tapioca broth was brought him. Again to the fourth, and wu furnished with a bowl of preparation of arrow root. He tried the fifth line, and was supplied with some gruel kept for invalids He determined to. get as far from soup as possible. He pointed, in despair, to the last article on the bill of sere. The waiter politely handed him a bunch of toothpicks I This was too much; the Englishman paid his bill and left.”

It seems to us that nearly every invention proposing to aid women in their labor that has been generally introduced to the public is the offspring of a male brain. The sewing machine, knitters, the principal washing machines, wringers, and churns, are undoubtedly of such origin, so that we can but conclude that men do more reliable thinking in the line of woman’s interests than women do. Thus we have certainly found it in our own experience. Now, my dear sir, to you who, being a married man, and loving your wife, are vitally interested In her happiness, her good health, and length of days, may we suggest a line of thought: When you come in from the field or workshop, and sit in the corner of the kitchen, while your wife cooks the noonor evening meal, do you notice those three stairs up which she must bring every nail of water she uses, and every stick or wood she burns, and down which every slop or bit of waste from the kitchen and house must be carried? Can’t you contrive some means to relieve her of that little burden that by little grows so large? Do you notice that for meal and flour, or the bread- tray, or some other every day necessity she must go up stairs or down cellar, or to an outhouse, when by a little contrivance on your part she might have a pantry large enough to contain everything she needs, and be able to compound her bread, and pies, and pastry, without “ running all over creation ’’ to get things together before she can begin to do anything ? She has grown into the habit of putting up with this little inconvenience, and that and the other, until, perhaps, it does not occur to her that an hour’s ingenuity and planning might improve matters immensely, ana relieve her of the incessant and repeated trips from one point of the premises and back again. What a bleissing to her would be a sink in the kitchen, with a pump leading into it and a waste-pipe leading out of it How convenient would she find a shelf behind or near the stove where she might set her batter cakes when she is frying them, and not run back and forward across the kitchen from the stove to the table and the table to the stove. Perhaps there is a mantel-piece, but that is too high—a broad, strong shelf is what she wants, not much higher than the stove. It’s a good place to set bread when you want it to rise, or babies when you want them to keep warm, and not rise; to iron small pieces on or to sit on yourself when waiting for the shad to broil or the meat to brown.

U. S. GRANT,

It is this constant worry and fret oyer little things—the continual dropping that wears a stone—which frets out the youth of woman, and draws away drop by drop her enthusiasm and her life. While steaming over the ironing-table or the cook-stove with one crying child on the floor, another in the cradle, and a third on' the table watching mamma at work, might not almost any woman envy her husband treading the furrow under the open sky, behind the patient oxen, going straight from point to point, without haste; without rest, without interruption and without delay. True, his plow feels heavy at the end of the bout, and a big stone may give him a sudden wrench; it seems a long way from one end to the other of a grassy row of corn ; the hammer swings hard, and the plain pushes slowly toward the end of a languid spring day; but he has less annoyance, less chafe, less wear of temper and nerve, than she who goes through the daily and weekly round of domestic toil and care.— New York Tribune.

The advantages of under-draining are epitomized as follows by the -Farmer's Magazine : 1. It prevents drought. 2. It furnishes an increased supply of atmospheric fertilizers. 3. It warms the lower portions of the soil. 4. It hastens the decomposition of roots and other organic matter. 5. It accelerates the disintegration of the mineral matters of the soil. 6 It causes a more even distribution of nutritious matters among the parts of the soil traversed by roots. 7. It improves the mechanical texture of the soil. 8. It causes the poisonous excrementitious matter of plants to be carried out of reach of their roots. 9. It prevents grasses from running out. 10. It enables us to deepen the surface soil, by removing excess of water. 11. It renders soil earlier in the spring. 12. It prevents the throwing out of grain in winter. 13. It allows us to work sooner after rain. 14. It keeps off the effects of cold weather longer in the fall. 15. It prevents the formation of acetic and other acids, which induce the growth of sorrel and similar weeds. 16. It hastens the decay of vegetable matter and the finer comminution of the earthy parts of the soil. 17. It prevents, in a great measure, the evaporation of water, and the consequent abstraction of heat from the soil. -18. It admits fresh quantities of water from rains, &c., which are always more or less imbued with the fertilizing gases of the atmosphere to be deposited among the absorbent parts of the soil, and given up to the necessities of plants. 19. It prevents the formation of so hard a crust on the surface of the soil as is usual on heavy lands. 20. It prevents, in a great measure, grass and winter grains from being winterkilled.

Bathing may be practised for pleasure, for cleanliness, and for health. There is no more pleasurable excitement than the bath,*properly prepared and arranged. In our climate, it is only in the summer that the luxury of bathing in the sea or lake or river can be indulged in, and then only for a limited period. It is a healthful sport to all classes, but especially to the young, when judiciously managed, combining, as it does, vigorous exercise of all the muscles of the limbs in a gentlyresisting medium which surrounds and envelopes the body. Bathing for pleasure requires that the water should be of an agreeable temperature; it must neither be too hot nor too cold, and this will be determined very much by the health of ,tbe individual To a robust person in a nude state, the cold water of the lake and sea

Advantages of Under-Draining.

Bathing.

BY AN EMINENT PHYSICIAN.

during ths rammer heato is most exhilarating, while to the feeble it la chilling and depreaalng. The degree of temperature must be regulated by the sensations, and especially tne reaction of the system after the first plunge. If the body eo reacts that the water feels comfortable and agreeable, the bath will be pleasurable and healthfal; but if reaction is feeble and the water seems to become colder, the bath will be injurious. To enjoy a bath fully, the bather must be nude. The condition of the body at the time of the bath now spoken of is also important ; it should not be overheated ana in a state of perspiration, for this would lead to an immediate congestion that might result in grave diseases of the internal organs. Nor should the person be greatly fatigued, as this condition would tend to prevent prompt and healthfal reaction. Finally, the bather should exercise vigorously during the b*th, and not remain in the water until It begins to grow cold and uncomfortable. On leaving the bath, the skin should always be dried thoroughly, and then rubbed by the person himself, until it is all aglow. Bathing for cleanliness should be regulated as follows: 1. Those parts of the body liable to become daily unclean or offensive should be daily bathed in warm soaped water; 2 The whole body should be bathed in similarly prepared water every fourth day. The object of such bathing is to cleanse the body of all kinds of filth. This filth may be acquired from the external world, or it may be inherent; the former consists of lint from the clothing, dust from the air, etc, and the latter the ever-separating epithelium, or scarf-skin, the oil from the glands of the skin, etc. Warm water and soap are the best solvents of these substances. Such a bath may be safely taken just as the person is retiring for the night, and is a great luxury, often securing a most refreshing night’s sleep, and not liable even in winter to render the bather susceptible to cold afterward. It is well to lie down first in the water for a few minutes, and gently rub the skin with the hand; this relaxes the skin and softens the layer of epithelium; then stepping out, the body should be rubbed with the soap until a lather is formed. On entering the bath, the scurf (for this is its proper term) separates and leaves the skin soft and perfectly clean. A dash of cold water over the body, followed with gentle friction of a soft towel, is the last step. Bathing for health offers a wide field for discussion. The bath, in its various iorms, medicated and unmedicated,.is a most important remedial measure; unfortunately, it is too much in the hands of uneducated practitioners, who, by their malpractice, tend to bring it into discredit. No general rule can be laid down which it is safe for the invalid to follow but this—namely, consult a competent physician.— Hearth and Home.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. AU women know that It is beanty, rather than genius, which all generations of men have worshipped in the sex. Can It be wondered at, then, that so much of woman's time and attention should be devoted to the means of developing and preserving that beauty ? Women kn ow, too, that when men speak of the intellect of women, they speak critically, tamely, coolly; but when they come to speak of the charms of a beautiful woman, their language and their eyes kindle with an enthusiasm which shows them to be profoundly, if not, indeed, ridiculously, in earnest. It is part ot the natural sagacity of women to perceive all this, and therefore employ every allowable art to become the goddess of that adoration. Preach to the contrary, as we may, against the arts employed by women for enhancing' their beauty, there still stands the eternal fact, that the world does not prefer the society of an ugly woman of genius to that of a beauty of less intellectual acquirements. The world has yet aUowed no higher mission to woman than to be beautiful, and It would seem that the ladles of the present age are carrying this idea of the world to greater extremes than ever, for all women now to whom nature has denied the talismanic power of beauty, supply the deficiency by the use of a most delightful toilet article, known as the “Bloom oi Youth,” which has lately been introduced into this country by Gzobgk W. Laird, a delicate beautifier, which smooths ont all Indentations, furrows, scars, removing tan, freckles, and discolorations from the skin, leaving the complexion clear, brilliant and beautiful, the skin soft and smooth. With the assistance of this new American trick ot a Lady’s toilet, female beauty Is destined to play a larger part in the admiration of men and the ambition of women than all the arts employed since her creation. Prof. C. F. Chandler, Chemist to the Metropolitan Board of Health, has recently prepared a chemical analysis of this delightful toilet preparation, and reported that the “Bloom of Youth” was harmlesa, containing nothing injurious to the health. Ladles need have no fear of Bring this invaluable toilet acquisition. Sold by every druggist and fancy goods dealer in the United States. Depot, 5 Gold St., Now York.

Three BeqnlaltM of Health. If »I 1 the elcklv people In th* world were to take to their bads, and demand medical treatment, there wonld not be doctor* enough to attend them; nor a aofflclent number of the robust to nurse them. Three conditions are absolutely essential to health, ▼is.: a good appetite, easy digestion, and the ability t o sleep aoundiv. Seven eighths of the many thousands who suffer from Indisposition. yet do not labor under serious disease, complain that they “ can’t eat,” that thetr stomachs are “ out of order," or that they “don’t sleep well.” For this data of ailments few persona think of calling in a physician. Nor is It necessary, inasmuch as a course of Hostetter's Bitters will certainly relieve the derangements of the stomach, the liver and the nervous system, from which want of appetite, indigestion and eloepleaansM arise. This excellent vegetable tonic and corrective Is also a delightful anodyne. Insomnia (or incapacity to sleep) which has resisted all the ordinary remedies, will yield readily to a dose of this pleasftt sedative taken Just before retiring to rest.

Thus, the dif’estlon is stimulated, while the bowels are regnated, the liver toned, the strength recruited, the nerves calmed, tbe fluids purified and the circulation equalised.
