RoE ee Dave such a tenderness for, We published o Gay or two ago the story of the Fitzpatrick family in Texas. Onr columns every day contain incidents as thrilling aud heartrending. The attack on a scouting party, led by Colonel Forsyth, in October, 1868, is fresh in all mem- orles—the cunning treachery of the In Jian foe, the surrounding of Forsyth’s men on a sand island, the long four days of starvation and Intolerable broiling under the hot sun, the brave defence, and finally the rescue by a de- tachment of Colonel Bankhead’s troops. Where can we find such cruelties practised upon In- ians as wore then practised upon Forsyth’s men—cruelties under which some of the poor fellows went mad and died? Al! the arguments thatthe enemies of Sheridan can raise against him on the ground of barbarity can amount to nothing. When dealing with such a cruel foe as the Indian it is barbarity to the white settlers to treat him leniently, Vhe Value of Public Journals. The cash value of the public press has been Alustrated recently by the sale of the Weve Freie Presse, a liberal democratic organ of Vienna. The price realized by the proprietors was two and a half millions of florins, or about one million two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold, The new enterprise consists of @ joint stock company, whose statutes and regulations have been approved of by the Minis- ter of the Interior, which fact indicates that Governiwnental influence will not be altogether foreign to the tenor of the paper in future. The promoters of the Neue Mreie Presse, Messrs, Etienne, Werthner and Dr. Fried- lander, were fully qualified for the task that they had taken in hand, which fact was proved by their journal speedily becoming the great- est advertising medium in Austria, It being a patent fact that no journal can exist at the present day uniess favored by the advertising public, their chief object was to render their journal acceptable to all, and thus penetrate tothe remotest corners of the empire. Tue above facts are the vouchers of their suce Mr. Etienne and Dr, Friedlander remain on the staff during the first five years of the new company’s operation, at salaries that amply prove the value of their journalistic capabilities, On perusing the German journals generally, and especially the Austrian, the fact becomes self-evident that the light of progress is dawn- fog upon them, and although they may not be quite up to the mark of American journalism, still there is evidence of a decided improve- ment on the old sysiem, Ax Inn Memper’s Exprrmnces ww her LAND.—Mr, Bernal Osborne expgrienced an exciting prelude to an active Parliamentary life the very day of his return for Waterford, Ireland. His new-found constiluents pressed on him in a body at his hotel, so that in order to avoid their attentions he was forced to run up stairs, scramble throngh a skylight to the roof and skip over a couple of neighboring housetops, During this trip he fell into a large tank of water which was placed near the foof of one of the houses for use in case of fre. He managed to get out with whole bones and a terribly acute rheumatism. On the 12th of March he was unable to take his seat in the House of Commons in consequence of his illness. After such init‘atory feata he should certainly be able to “‘reach his seat.” The “best fellows in the world,” those Irish elec- tors, and quick and sharp around the ballot boxes or in the drawing room. Whether ai home or abroad, in Waterford, in Tipperary, in New York or in Albany, they go for smart work, the constitution, charters and cold water, with the water always on the outside, ag in Mr. Osborne’s cass, Tuk Proposep Fonpine Bin ANd THE Weat.-—-The Western press are highly indig- nant at the secret circular emanating from the national banks for the purpose of influencing Congressional action against the proposed Funding bill. The Chicago Republican is par- ticularly outspoken on the subject, remarkiog, in the course of a long editorial, that the com- bination of the national banks in opposition to the Funding bill will fail. It warns the House of Representatives against this scheme of the banks, and adds:—‘‘The people of the Vuited States are against all who will speak for, vote for, or openly advocate a removal of the re- striction of the Funding bill, as passed by the Senate. The Representative in Congress who records am vote in .avor of the project of the banks will be recollected at the ballot box.” Western Congressmen will make a note and govern themselves accordingly. Waat Begcomis or tite Mosxrox Doc- aning?—If the United States Senate rejects the application of St. Domingo for admission— made by her own government and sanctioned by an almost unanimous vote of her people— when no nation has objected, how can we ob- ject to the course of Spain upon the Cuban question? If Cuba was free to-day could we admit her, npon application, aa a territory, after having rejected the application of St, Domingo? Can the United States, if we reject the repub- Uo of St. Domingo, object to any European Powers taking her or any other country on this Continent that may apply to them as Moxico did when France sent Maximilian ? Letren From A Navy Capur.—Cadet Madison Campbell Vinton, aged fourteen, writes to the Springfield (Missouri) Leader declaring that he does not believe that Repre- sentative Boyd received ‘ono red cent” for selecting him for a naval cadetship, as had been charged.

It Toay be that the reaily lean females who abound tn the metropolis, and WhO might bave been there had Uhey seen fit, were rather too bashful to undergo tte ordeal of a pubic exbibition; and tt may be that many of them were known to twetr friends as “fall, round and buxom,’? and who, ta order to attend en rhoie, would have been com- pelled to divest thomselves of various things which nature did not give them, but which shopkeepers know who did. The festivity, however, was not without its attraction, and the fat and the lean and Tare and the medium mascelines who graced the ball with their presence enjoyed themselves as best they could.
