A Merciful Judos.?At Chester,
England, a woman was recently tried
for killing ber husband. The testi?
mony showed that she bore patiently
long continued provocation. At last,
in a moment of ungovernable irrita?
tion, she threw a sharpened steel ut
him, struck him, and fatally woauded
bim. The judge believed from the
evidenc --, that tbe consequences of the
act were deeply deplorod by tbe wife;
that she did all in her power to aid tbe
man after wounding bim.and therefore,
although tbe jury convicted, ho made
tliA foiininino nninnu addre^w to the
criminal: "All the real right in this
case was on your side, all the real
wroog on your husband's, and God
forbid that I should punish you. I
will be no party to it?I will not even
make this judgment complete. I will
not allow it to be said by anybody,
that you are a convicted felon, for a
conviction is not complete nutil a sen?
tence is passed, and I mean to pans no
sentence at all. I shall merely ask you
to enter into your own recognizanoe,
to come up for judgment, if called
npon; und nobody in the world will
ever call npon you?God forbid they
ever should."
Tbe meeting at the Cooper Institute,

Perhaps nothing is more prejudicial
to the pro, ?r ussimilation of food than

acrimonious.

? MujITahy Rulb fM Cuba and the
UstrnsD States ?Count Valmaseda,
who baa been named to assume tba
Captain-Generalship of Cuba, was in
command of tbo Spanish forces in that
island in 1868, when the insurrection
began. He is brutal and imporious,
but these qualities io military men are
not often allied with intellect Hie
first expeditions were comparatively
unsuccessful, aod before the year closed
bo had to send bume for reinforce?
ment*. He begau the campaign with
20,000 men, aud the additional troops
wbich be required from Spain gave
him 32 000, besides 40,000 volnuteers
The most incomprehensible thing
among the o'irrent events of tho day,
is that the Co bau insurrection was not
crushed out by euch a force at once.
Cu: a is not n large islaud, aud her
coast was snrrouuded aud watched by
a strong Spanish naval squadron, yet |
02,000 soldiers tailed to put down the
rebellion. There wus no luck of foro
city and a hull-dog disposition to "hurt
somebody" on the wart of tbo Oom
! mauder-in Chief. Eveu Goo Sheri?
dan himself, if entrusted by General
Grunt with the. coveted power to treat
the Citizens of Louisiana as "ban?
ditti," could uot havo surpassed Count
Valmasedu in that destructive propuu
t*ity which some military men seem to
uoufouud with guuius for war. Thus,
for ex imple, Valtnsseda ordered that
every male citizen over fifteen years of
age fouud in the country und away
from home should be shot, unless be
could satisfactorily account for his
in ivemeute. fie made war upon
women, branding them as felons or
slaves, lie ordered tha. every bouse
which did not display a white rLg
should be burned, aud that all women
and ohiidreu touud living aloun on
their farms should bo forcibly removed
to the uearest cities in possession of
tbo Spaniards. This treatment of citi?
zens of both sexes aud all ages as
"bauditti," might cause the most
truculeut of American soldiers to grow
pale with ouvy. On subsequent occa?
sions, Yulmuscui surpassed him.-..If.
When De Rodas, who succeeded

his administrations that eight school
boys were barbarofrly shot in Havana
for au alleged deseSJitioo of the grave

A Royal Ohoax.?Tbe stomach baa
been well named a "royal organ,"
ainee it sways and controls tbe entire
system, every glaud, tissne and nerve
sympathizing with it as tbe servants of
a prioce sympathize witb tbeir muster.
Each one of thorn is fed aud sustained
by it?even tbe brain itself, tbe centre
of sensation, is absolutely dependent
upou it for susteuanoe. Consequently,
when tbe storaaob f nils to perform its
nil-important office, tbe subordinate
orgaus also falter iu their duty. The
reason why Hostetter'n Stomaoh Bit
tors have auch woodroosly beneficial
effect upon tbe general health, and are
such a reliable preventive of disease,
is, that they .speedily overcome weak?
ness or disorders of the stomach, aud
thus insure complete nourishment of
tbe entire system and a healthful per?
formance of its various funotions.
Unlike those stimulunts whose alco?
holic principle iu unmodified by judi?
cious medication, tbe spirituous basis
of these Bitters, which is of the purest
description, holds in solution herbal I
alteratives and iuvigorants to which a
foremost rank has been assigned in
materia mediou. But it is not alone I
the fact that these sovereign botanic
elements enter into the composition of
tbe Hitters that constitutes them such
a beni.pi tonic and corrective, but also
that they are so happily combined that
the full effect of each ui exerted upon
the disordered or debilitated system,
the digestive and secretive organs uro
tbe first to experience tbeir beneficent
operatiou, which extends, by sympa?
thy, to the brain, tbe nerves end tbe

results which have built up the reputa?

with the steel-blue sky and frozen sea.
I It is a song iu the air. The eimple
peasants make the birds that inhabit
those rude co.ists and icy valleys so
very happy on this one day of the year,
that they sing of their own accord a
glad carol on Christmas morning, aud
all tbe people come out of their bonnes
sod rejoice to hear it. On Christmas
Eve, after tbe birds have sought shel?
ter from the North wind, aud the still
night is bright witb stars, tbe good
people bring from tlnur store-bouses
sheaves of corn und wheat, and, tying
them to slender poles, ruifio them from

Colored Masonrt.?The Grand
Lecturer of tbe Grand Lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons, of Massachu?
setts, J. N. Coilua, in au address before
Widow's Sou Lodge, No. 1, on "The
Legitimacy of Colored Masons in tbe
United Stated." Thursday eveniug,
made the following statements:
"The introduction of Masonry
among the colored men in this country
was by the initiating, passing, and
raising of thirteen colored men iuto a
traveling lodge, attached to General
Gage's army, stationed at Boston,
Massachusetts, on the 6th of March,
1775. On tbe 29th of September,
1781, Frederick Charles, Duke of Cum
hcriaud, Acting Grand Master of tbe
Grand Lodge of England, granted a
warrant fur tbe constituting of African
Lodge, No. 459 Iu 1792, Prince Hall,
the Master of the said lodge, insti?
tuted Hiram Lodge, in Philadelphia.
In 1797, be also instituted St. John's
Lodge, in Providence. In the year
1HCH), Prince Hall died, aud John T.
Milton was elected master. Iu 1808,
the Alrieau Grand Lodge was formed
in Boston, with tbe above-named
lodges. Iu 1827, tho Grand Lodge of
Pennsylvania was instituted, and iu
1817 the National Grand Lodge was
formed. The speaker said there ure
nearly 101).(100 colored Masons in this
couutry."
That wa ? ruther u curious compari?
son with which Senator Cameron
wound up Li is speech of greeting to
Kiug Kdakaua yesterday. "Our
whole people," said he, "cherish for
your subjects the most friendly regard.
They trust and believe that the rela?
tions of tho two countries will always
be as peaceful as the great sea that
rolls between us." We admit that the
Paeitie is a peaceful ocean us oceans
go. lint, tioue of them are always
quiet. There ure times when evjsii the
P.icitio in anything but reposing If
wo mistake not, it contains iu its
boM>m quite a number of goodly ships.
It has swallowed up the rich urgonies
of merchants, uud for that matter the
merchants themselves. It has paved
its toi um with costly wrecks, witb
lost jewels and precious stones, torn
from the grasp of men who relied too
inipiuuly upon its pacilio nature. If
our relations with the Sandwich
islands do not prove more peaceful,
the King will have a btoimy time of it,
und perhaps regret that be over honor?
ed us witb his presence.

These deservedly celebrated and popu?
lar medioines have effected a revolu?
tion in the beaiiug art, and proved
the fallacy, of several maxims which
bave for many years obstructed the
progress of medical science. The
false supposition that "Consumption
is incurable," deterred pbysieana from
attempting to fiud remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with it
reconciled themselves to death without
making an effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be nna
voidablo. It iu cow proved, however,
that Consumption can be cured, and that
it has been oured in a very great num?
ber of cases (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by. 8chenok'e Polmo- -

Dr. ?chenck, himself, who enjoyed
uninterrupted good health'for more
than forty years, was supposed, at one
time to be at the very gute of death,
his physicians having pronounced his
oase hopeless, and abandoned bim to'
his fate. He wan oured by the afore?
said medicines, and, since bio recovery,
many thousands similarly affected
have nsed Dr. Sohenak's preparations
with the same remarkable success.
