NAMELY : 6834f 684 restaurateur strategies “to sub- due and insurrection which obstinately refuses to be stamped out, Spain has never been able to furnish men enough for a complete military occupation of the island. The weakness of the mot-her country has resulted in giving undue in- fluence to the volunteers recruited from the natives of the island. As usual, in such cases, these loyal Cubans have been more violent against the insurgents than the Spaniards themselves. They have counselled and practiced at war of exter- mination against the rebellious na- tives of the island, they have threaten- ed to massacre the sympathizers with the revolt and have clamorously demandâ€" ed and in many cases obtained the con- fiscation of the property of those falling under their suspicions. That the rowdy element of the Cuba volunteers are real- ly masters in Havana was pretty clearly shown by the incidents attending the late military execution of medical stu- dents in that city. On Thursday Nov. 23rd, the medical class of the Havana University found that, owing to the ill- ness of the Professor, no lecture would be given. Thus released for a holiday, the students conceived the mad idea of substituting “some fun,” in the ceme- tery in front of their classroom, for the interrupted anatomical course within it. Some unhappy suggestion brought them in front of the vault which contains the remains of Gonzalo Castanon whose memory is venerated by the volunteers as that of a political martyr. Yielding i to an insane impulse of mischief, the young men and boys of the medical class proceeded, to desecrate the grave of Castanon by writing scurrilous epigrams over the vault and by otherwise defacing it in a manner whose details can only be conjectured amid a cloud of exaggerated statements. Saturday witnessed the at: rest-of six students, Sunday saw their number sWelled‘ to eight. Monday wit- nessed the supremacy of mob law in ‘ Havana and the constituted authorities compelled by a savage crowd of volun- teer soldiery to convene the military court martial to try the offending stuâ€" dents. For this tribunal, there were but two alternatives ; either to condemn the prisoners to death or to sacrifice their own lives to the fury of a mob which held them prisoners till their virdict was given. At four o’clock on Monday af- ternoon, eight students expiated with their blood the folly of their “ lark ” of of the preceding Thursday; ten more were condemned to six years in the Pen- itentiary, twenty to four years, and three ‘ Ireland in its worth days did not pre-‘ sent a more melancholy combination of social and political chaos than does, at this moment, the fair and fertile island of Cuba. Whatever may be thought of the principles involved in the Cuban in- surrection, there can be no question that the means taken by the Spaniards to subdue the rebellious colonists have been ‘a disgrace to civilized warfare. The fact is that the military Government at Havana is rapidly ceasing to be an or- ganized Government at all. For years tlle slender resources of Spain havibeen men’s good Be each man’s rule, and universal peace Lie like a shaft of light across the land, And like a lane of beams athwart the sea, Through all the circle of the golden year. toil ' ‘ Enrich the markets of the golden year.

Ah! when shall all BLESSED is the hand that prepares a pleasure _for a child, for there is no saying when and where it may bloom forth. two friends and acquaintances, when they chanced to meet, offered to each other the right handâ€"the hand alike of ofiense and defence, the hand that wields the sword, the dagger, the club, the tomahawk, or other weapon of war. Each did this to show that the hand was empty, and neither war nor treachery was intended. A man cannot well stab another while he is in the act of shaking hands with him unless he be a double dyed traitor and villain, and strives to aim a cowardly blow with the left while giving the right, and pretending to be on good terms with his victim. The custom of hand-shaking prevails more or less, among all civilized nations, and is the tacit avowal of friendship and good will, just as a kiss is of a warmer pasâ€" sion. Ladies, as every one must have remarked, seldom or never shake hands .with the cordiality of gentlemen, unless it be with each other. The reason is obvious. It is for them to receive hoinage, not to give it. They cannot be expected to show to persons of the other sex a warmth of greeting which might be misinterpreted, unless such persons are very closely related to them by tami- ly or affection; in which cases handâ€" shaking is not needed, and the lips do more agreeable duty. Every man shakes hands according to his nature, whether it be timid or aggressive, proud or hum- ble, courteous or ehurlish, refined or vulâ€" gar, sincere or hypocritical, enthusiastic or indifferent. The nicest refinement of idiosyncrasies of character may not, per- haps, be discoverable in this fashion, but the salient points of temperament and individuality may doubtless be made clear to the understanding of most peo- ple by a better study of‘ what may be called the physiology of handâ€"shaking. To present the left hand for the purpose of a friendly greeting is a piece of dis- courtesyâ€"sometimesintentional on the part of superiors in rank to their inferi- ‘ ors, and an act that no‘ true gentleman will commit. There is no reason why it should be considered more diseourte- ous than it would be considered more discourteons than it would be to kiss the left cheek instead of the right; but, doubtless, the custom that makes the right hand imperative in all sincere salu- tations dates from those early times when hand~shaking first began, and the hand that shook or was shaken in friend- ship was of necessity weaponless. The blood of these eight students will do more to forward the Cuban cause than endless redemontade on platform or news- paper column. It will have the imme- diate efi'eet of arousing other nations to ‘the imminent danger which threatens re- fsidents on an island whose Government iis powerless to refuse the most sanguin- iary and illegal demands of a crowd of fanatical volunteers. American war- ‘ships, mounting in all seventy guns, are already in Cuban waters, and the British Government will doubtless take imme- ; diate steps to see that any outrage upon any of its subjects in Cuba can be promptly prevented or redressed. The sensational rumors about a joint inter- vention on the part of the two Govern- ments have been proved to have had no foundation, The fact that they were pretty generally believed shows, how- ever, that public opinion is ripe for some decided stop being put to Spanish bar- barity and bringing in the Gem of the Antilles. International obligations must always prevent the according of the bel- ligerent rights to the Cubans while their cause has so little of permanent strength. On the other hand, international duty may at no distant day compel some one or more of the civilized powers 0 f' the world to step in and say, “The Cubans and their sym- pathisers must be treated as human be- ings, having certain rights which no amount of insubordination can des- troy.” No power which claims a share in the comity of nations can be allowod to transform one of its provinces into a human shambles any more than it can be permitted to harbor a nest of pirates. How did people get in the habit; of shaking hands ? The answer is not far to seek. In early and barbarous times, when every savage or semi-savage was his own law-giver judge, soldier, and police- man, andhand to watch over his own to six months’ imprisonment; all the property belonging to the condemned being forfeited to the state. Hand-Shaking. It is a current saying that ministers’ sons and deacons’ daughters are more likely than others to. reject religion and fall a prey to the tempations of the world. The Rev. Asa Bullard has been gathering statistics to refute this pro- verb. Massachusetts and Connecticut furnished hIS field. In 448 minister’ and deacons’ families there were 2,101 children over 15 years of age, of whom 1,414 were hopefully pious, 93 were in the ministry or fitting for it, and only 34 dissipated. And all the remaining children, with very few exceptions, were respectful and useful citizens. Mr. Bullard challenges a comparison with these figures on the part of any other class or profession among parents. Newspaper men have the enterprise to publish neat, creditable papers, and they strain every nerve to do this; but the people don’t consider the fact that the appearance of their home newspaper is a pretty index of their own intelligence and enterpriseâ€"that it shows by its face in every issue, whether it is starved; or well supported. There is no class of people who do half so much for the gen, eral good, or who work so hard as prin. ters. Many of them are put to all._sorts of expedients to get along“ when there are hundreds of influential men who‘ do nothing, comparatively speaking, to sus- tain it. These same men might speak a good word for it, sustain it with their advertising patronage, and help build up a paper to be a credit to their coun- tyâ€"and thus remunerate also a hard working man. EVery citizen of a coun- ty ought no more to think of doing with out his local paper, than he would of omitting his meals. He ought to be animated by suflicient pride, if by no other motive, to sustain 1t, and thus seq in it a. worthy representative of the pear. pie. ing. I can point you to her lonely grave.

Shall we look at her again? The dingy home has grown dingier still, and as we glance at Mrs, Mowry, the sad effects of her hitters are plainly visible. Is she a confirmed in- ebriate? Ah, no; she has never been called hardly a moderate drinker, but is now a driviling idiot; worn out with hard labor and excessive toil, anxiety and eare, her friends will tell you, butin sober, startling reality, the victim of in- tempemnce. Yet she never drank to ex- cess, as the saying is ; only for medicine did she drain the cup. So she thought, but alas, the demon was net to be toyed with. By degrees the mind became clouded, darker and darker grew the shade, till all was oblivion: “It is too late,” said the physician. “not lug can restore her; the efi'eets can never be era. diceted.” “ Only for medicine,” do thousands still cling to the dangerous beverage, eaeh draught adding fuel to flféTn-e that wilwl’onerday consufirvne Let such remember that Mrs. Mowry is no fancy sketch. I knew her while liv- “ I don’t know what will become of us' if he goes on so. It is as much as we can do to live now.” And in good truth it was; but Mrs. Mowry never imagin- ed that she was in the least culpable, and to hint in'the remotest degree that she could perhaps dispense with her hitters, was to incur her deepest disPleasure. As though she did not know what was need- ed to strengthen her for her daily task. Besides, it was no reason because Jim indulged to excess, that she should de- prive herself ' of the health-inspiring draught. No; she would use but not abuse the potency of alcoholic drinks. Poor woman 1 she was fully conscious that strange drink was her husband’s besetting sin. She saw the bloated cheek, the dim, watery eye; she noted the trembling limb and tottering step, and she felt the .straitened income and failing fund, and she would beseech you, with a strange mingling of sorrow and anger in her tones, to stop his obtaining a further supply. “I can’t have any hitters but Jim will drink them all up.” So said Mrs. Mowry to all her friends and acquaint. ances again and again. “THE YORK HERALD.” UBLISHED AT THE OFFICE ON Yoxcm ST.
