Honor to the Spaniard!

A story of Spanish kindness to Americans should not be forgotten among the many records of American generosity to Spain. It is thus printed in a New York exchange: While we were atfil at war with Spain, Capt. Don Pedro Millet, of the Spanish barkentlne Gabriel, rescued the crew of a wrecked American bark, caring for them for twenty-six days, and then refused positively to accept any remuneration. We take off onr hats to our friends, our late enemies. There is true nobility yet in the blood of old Castile.
