TELSORAPHIO. --o Foreign Sews. LONDON, May 12.-Initiatory steps have been taken for an alliance, offensive and de? fensive, between England, France and Spain against the United States, in view of the rejection of the Alabama treaty. The tone of Sumner's speech, alleged filibuster? ing tendencies of Grant's administration and the reported connivance of expeditions against Cuba exoite attention. HAVANA, May 12.-Tho Diarios account of the Allagravia affair states that the re? bels fought more determinedly than hereto? fore.

The Treasury Department is making ar? rangements to carry into operation tho pro? visions of the Act of 18G2 relative to the es? tablishment of a sinking fund. It is not Bontwell's intention to put the bonds pur? chased weekly on the market; nor is it his expectation that they will be re-issued in any form. His object is a reduction of the principal and interest of the public debt.

"Ally Gator," tho correspondent of the Knoxv?lo Press and Herald, has had a con? versation with Brownlow since his return from Washington. He says: I asked what be thought of Washing? ton, and matters and things generally in that connection. "Ally," said he, "that Washington ?3 the 1 worst place in all creation, aud as for Grant, be is a bigger fool than Thompson's colt. Didn't I beat bim on the Pension Agent ap? pointment, though?" I "He ia loyal, nevertheless, isn't he?" said I. "Loyal," repeated the old mau, dreamily, "well, yes, he's loyal, I suppose, but do you think I would let a Senate rule mo as they do him?" lu reply us to whether he thought Graut was at tho bottom of tho Imperialist move? ment, and what he thought of the move? ment, he said : "Thc movement, Ally, is nil right. It is the only chanco to perpetuate loyalty, ns you can readily appreciate by a survey of my career as Governor, but as for Grant being thc Emperor-" "Woll-" said I. "Ally, he is tho greatest failure of the ago. He an Emperor!" And, in the depth of his disgust, he made a remark, which sounded like a literal trans? lation of what (according to Victor Hugo) Cambrouue said at the battle of Waterloo. -o A TALE OF LOVE.-Ono quiet night in leafy Juno, when tho bees and birds were all in tuue, two lovers walked beneath the moon. The night was fair-so was the maid; they walked and talked beneath tho shade, with noue to harm or make afraid. Her name was Sue, and his name was Jim, and sho was fat and ho was slim; he took to her and she to him. Says Jim to Sue, "By all tho snakes that squirm among the brush and brakes, I like you botter'n buckwheat cakes." Says Sue to Jim, "Since you've begun it, and been aud como and done it, I like you next to a new bonnet." Says Jim to Sue, "My heart y on* ve busted; but I have always gals mistrusted." Says Suo to ! Jim, "I'll bo true; if you love mo as I love you, no knife can cut our love iu two." Says Jim to Sue, "Through thick and thin, for your true love ever count mo in; I'll court no other gal agin!" Jim leaned to Sue, Sue leaned to him; his nose just touched ber jockey brim; four lips went nhem '. ahem ! and then-and then -and then ! oh, gals, beware of men in June, when crickets aro in tune, lest your name get in the papers soon! -o THE JEALOUSY OF GIRLS.-Girls aro aw? fully jealous of each other. I should call this tho girls' distinctive fault. Seo them when they aro introduced, or when thej first meet at a ball or croquet party; seo how coldly critical they look ut each other, bow insolently their eyes rove over every part of their rival's dross; read in their faces tho outspoken scorn as the result of their scru? tiny. "You think you havo done it very well, but you have made a fright of your? self, and I am much better than you!" Watch their disdain of tho moro admired among them; and bow excessively naughty for attracting so much attention they think that Ada or Amy ia about whom the yoong men cluster. How bold she is-how affect? ed she is-and, oh! howunglyshe is! Some? times, if they are deep, they will overpraise her enthusiastically, but tho ruse is too trans? parent to deceivo any one, and simply counts what it ia-a clever feint that doesn't answer. It is quite a study to watch tho way in which girls shake hands together, or shake hands in tho dances. The limp, cool, impertinent way in which they just touch palms, then let their arms fall as paralyzed, tells a volume to those who read tho letter? ing. -Every Saturday. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE FROM CUBA. Confidential and reliable advices from Cubu have been received hero, which are not ac? ceptable to those who have been advocates of the recognition of the belligerent rights 1 of the insurgents by this Government. St>-ango as it may appear, the revolution was originally planned by Generals Dulce and Prim, who hoped to shako the reign of Quoeu Isabella in Cuba, and then revolu? tionize tho mother country. But Spain, unexpectedly, took tho initiative, and now tho very generals who desired to make Cuba free are endeavoring to retain the island as a colony of the Spanish republic. Tho Cu? bans, however, aro not willing to be trans? ferred from colonists of a monarchy to colo? nists of a republic, and will therefore couti ?nue tho warfare. Their caso is hopeless, however, unless they receive moral aud ma? terial aid from the outside. [ Washington Republican. -o The Russians lived for generations in peace with the Alaska Iucliaus, but no sooner does the Territory come into our possession thun a war of extermination be? gins. Tho Ynnkoo adventurers begin their system of plunder, outrage and wrong, the Indians resent, and straightway there is a war. The exploits of Gen. Davis in laying waste the Indian villages in the recently ac? quired Territory, will be found elsewhere in this paper. This bloody and remorseless beginning is a foretaste for still greater atrocities, and we would suggest to Gen. Grant the propriety of extending his new policy to Alasku, by giving her a Quaker Governor, and putting the army and navy in that quarter under his control. -o The Empress Carlotta's health has within tho i*st month changed notably for the worse, and it is supposed that she cannot survive the summer. QUICK PASSAGE.-Thc steamship Chino, of the Canard line, running.between Liver Eool and Boston, cir Queenstown, Ireland, as recently made the quickest passage on record between Liverpool and Boston. The Chiun sailed from Liverpool on April 27th, i and took her departure from Queenstown, at OP. M., on April 28th, and entered Bos- ! ton harbor on tho afternoon of May Gth, ! after an unprecedented run of only seven days and twenty-two and a half hours. Her greatest speed on any one day was 373 milos, and she averaged fourteen kuots au boar all tho way over. It is to be hoped that those patriots who j oro so anxious to get tho country into an-1 other war, will not attempt to dodge the, conscription iu cose of its outbreak. It is 1 to be hoped they will not cry out against tho taxes which it will necessarily involve. It is to bo hoped they will not deal in shoddy, or try to get contracts. It is to be hoped they will understand themselves be? fore they go iu, and understand the busi? ness into which they are goiug, so that there may bo no trouble with them after? ward.-New York Times. -o Tho other day, says an exchange, a young lady called on a frieud, and .seeing a couple of not large-sized pin-cushions lying upou a table, which, upou inquiry, she found bad been in uso for five 3"enr.s, suggested that it would bo a good idea to rip them open aud got tho needles. At this the lady laughed, and replied that she thought it would hardly pay; but upon thc other insisting that she would find ns many as 300, thc expermient was finally tried, when, to the astonishment of all, 1,500 needles were counted out. -o Tho following curious sentence, "Sator arepa tenet opera ?-O/??S," is not first class Latin, but can bo freely translated, "I cease from my work; the sower will wear away his wheels." It has these peculiarities: First, it spells backward and forward the same; second, the first letters of oach word 6pell tho first word; third, all the second letters of each word spell the second word; fourth, all tho third, and so on through tho fonrth and fifth; and then wo find that tho last letters of each word spell the first word; tho next to tho last of each word spell the second word, aud so on through. -o It is stated that the President has deter? mined upon the nomination of colored men to responsible positions in Now York, Bos- i ton, Philadelphia, Chicago, and other' Northern cities. This course is to bo pur? sued to stop the complaints that have been made that tho appointment of colored men | is confined to oue section of the country. CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS.-Forney writes to his paper: "Let me rneutiou the Con? federate soldiers as among thc best friends of the Southern people. I have had a hun? dred conversations with these soldiers, officers and men, and in no instauco have I failed to find courtesy, sound sense, cordial submission to results, and good feeliug for their Northern brethren." Intelligence from St. Domingo to the 18th of April is received by mail. Tho people, of all parties are said to be anxious for an? nexation to the United States. Hostilities against tho Dominicans have been sus? pended, and the people are represented in complete harmony with the administration of President Baez. At the famous White Pine iniues, a man was recently hired to dig a grave for one who had died there. When tho funeral procession arrived at tho grave, the digger was in it, and refused to leave, declaring that he had "struck a fine lead," and could not thiok of allowing tho body to bo buried "in the hole." Tho industrious old lady who walked all over town with a eau in her baud, to pro? cure a quart of the "milk of human kind? ness," has been more successful in a getting a little jam out of tho door. She got the jam on her fingers. Friendship is moro firmly secured by leni? ty towards failings than by attachment to excellencies. Tho former is valued as kind? ness which cannot be claimed, and tho lat? ter is exacted as a payment of a debt to merit. " It is easy to toll when others are llattorod, but not when we ourselves are; and every man and woman will lend firm belief to tho soft nothings of the very man they believe to bo an arrant flatterer when others are in tho case. We should read books, not to quote them, but to strengthen our intellects and suggest thoughts of our own. We fatten a sheep with grass, not to obtain a crop of hay from his back, but that he may feed us with mut? ton, and clothe us with wool.
