ENGLISH COLUMN

Dear Mr Printer, By your ugly mistakes-just look in my last-You nearly capsized me. So, shipmate, avast! And, weeping, ask pardon of God for the past. As for me. I forgive, as Christian should do. Not fancying "pistols and coffee for two." Though my child is bleeding, of wounds not a few. But why do you not, keeping sober, take care? My pieces, you know, have no merit to spare. then, damage them, printer, again, if you dare. I charge you, dear sir, in a sorrowful mood. to print you poor brother, next time, as you should, Nor again spoil a dish of the public food. I charge you, beseech you, to print me all right. If not, the old serpent may squeeze you more tight.And conscience keelhaul you, from morning till night.-J. B. Tellock

 

FOREIGN NEWS

The Paris correspondent of the Times, on the Cuban question says, must Spaniards are @ of preserving Cuba. There is disappointment at the small success in the represses of the rebellion. the argument that Cuba is a less and not a gain to Spain is absurd. Spain is benefitted largely by by the productiveness and the commerce of Cuba. The correspondent thinks that the immediate annexation of Cuba to the United States is not desired by the American Government, but England or France are not likely to offer any opposition to the scheme. The Pall Mall Gazette, in an article on the recent treaties with China, says: "it was the foreigners' lecture to Chinese on internal improvements which was given by the American treaty; such interference abandoned and China left free, she would learn to feel secure and come out of her shell and bear a part in the commerce of the world. It is quite intelligible to us that American residents in China should dislike the treaty, but why should the Pekin Government dislike it? Have the Chinese discovered some underhand design to fresh concessions under the pretense of modifying former ones? Is this refusal to comply an accession of hostility against foreigners, which prompts a rejection of modifications for their own benefits. J. Ross Browne, late American Minister, in reply to an address of the British and American residents of Shanghai, denounced Burlingame's policy. London, Aug. 27. The Oxfords won the race by three lengths, and six seconds. The Harvard crew won the toss, and chose the Middlesex side, the outside of the semicircle. Both boats started at 5 o'clock 14 m. 6 1/2s. The Oxford boat arrived at the ship first, at 5 o'clock 36 m. 47s. Time of the race, 22m. 40 1/2s. Paris, Aug. 25th. The alarming recently started concerning the Emperor's health are clinically denied.This morning the symptoms of his rheumatic grew favorable. And investigation has been ordered to discover the authors of the false report. Paris, Aug 28th. THe Chinese Embassy depart for St. Petersburg on the 12 of September. Constantinople, Sept. 1. A messenger has left here with the Sultan's reply to the letter of the Viceroy of Egypt. It is reported that the Sultan expresses satisfaction with the Pasha's assurances of loyalty, but commands him to sell or transfer to the Turkish Government the iron-clads and breech-loaders  ordered in Europe, and keep his forces within the prescribed limits, and abate taxation, publish his annual budget, and abstain from negations with foreign governments. Halifax, Aug. 27. Thousands of people were present to-day to witness the review of the troops by Prince Arthur Great enthusiasm was exhibited. A private letter from an entirely responsible source at Madrid, reports that Minister Sickles offered the United States as mediator between the Cubans- the proposition being as stated in the American newspapers, that slavery shall be abolished in the Island, the Cubans to pay Spain for the Public buildings, fortifications, etc. While spain does not reject the mediation, there are serious obstacles in the way of accommodation. The impressions among many Spanish  statesmen is that the Island will eventually pass from the control of Spain. It is stated that the preliminary demand of Spain is that the Cubans shall lay down their arms, a condition with which, it is said, they will not comply, if for no other reason, that they have no guarantee of protection from the Spanish volunteers, who, according to report, aim at the absolute rule of the Island, and have secret organizations.
