He aiso added that, though friendly towards Cuba, he was, at the same time, opposed to anything that would lead to war; that the country has had warenouzh. He thought that this diMcult question was capable of a peaceful solu- tion, Colonel Macias is known in Washington, he having visited this city two years ago with a propo- sition looking to the establishment of an insular republic, to conslst of the tree great tropical islands of Cuba, St. Domingo and Porto Rico, to be under whe protection of the United States.

The Departure of the Graduating Class—Bentz, the Bugler, in a ‘light Place in Conse- quence—Tho Alumni Dinner and the Veterans Present at It— A Goodly Company. West Pornt, June 17, 1870. ‘The graduating class donned the blue for the gray to-day at twelve o’clock, and thus forever severed their connection with the cadet corps as cadets. Every member, with bat one exception, was in the highest spirits, of course, at reveille. I doubt if the clock in the tower on the academy building ever got such a staring as it did after the drums had beaten every gradnate out of bed, It is not a very attract- ive looking affair this academy clock under the best of clreumstances, but the graduates thought it this morning worthy of thelr greatest consideration. They had always found ita good timepiece, every since, as plebes, they had been trotted into the sec- tion rooms, with the jeers of the cadets ringing In their ears at every step they took, and had never known it to go back on old Bentz, the bugler, who is supposed to toot by the nours the old clock strikes for his special benefit. The thought had never entered their minds before that, after all, the clock was fallible, and that tt might be Bentz tu the Jong run, who had always dictated to the clock, and not the clock to him; for long after reveille, when it stuck its face for the first time out of the mist, and when the graduate would have sworn tt was eight o'clock there were the old hands on the dial pointing to one half hour and twenty-eight seconds after six. What could be the matter? Was not there a put up job by somebody vo make the hands travel a second in @ minute and keep losing ten minutes every hour? It looked very much like it; and yet there stood old Bentz as nonchalantly as ever, gazing upon the face of the confounded thing, and waiting patiently until the time came for him to BLOW HIS BUGLE. What right had he to mind the clock when it got itself out of order—for out of order the “grads’? were certain it was. “Ilo, Bentz! erled one from his room; “there’s no use waiting, old fellow; fx the time yourself; there’s a screw loose somewhere in the tower to-day.” Bentz grinned placidiy, and put the bugle to his mouth. The graduate gave a jump and a whoop that Red Cloud would have been proud of, and never complained of ache or harm when he found himseif on the broad of his back between the wall and his trunk, the presence of which latter article he had entirely forgotten. Bentz didn’t blow the horn, however. He had only placed it to his lips to humor his huge black mustache out of an uncomiortable twist, The graduate lay for a mo- ment behind his trank, and no sound coming from the bugle he got on his feet, “Ho, Bentz!” but Bentz only grinned and shook his head, as much as to say, “I've been here blowing this bugle for twenty-five years or more and J can’t be fooled no- how.” ‘The graduate looked at his watch, It was a bran new gold one, a genuine Jurgensen, @ present from his mamma, who gave it to him be- cause he'didn’t lead his class at the foot. He knew it was a good timepiece, and yet there it was in per- fect accord with that good for nothing clock. Could it be possible? [He knew he was ready to swear that it was nearer twelve o’clock than the watch and the clock told him, and wasn't @ graduate, who had studied astronomy and who had 6 een taught how to tell Which way the wind blows and how many cadet stars 1t takes to make moonshine, #8 good a judge of time as any wat ch or clock~ mere inanimate, in- falliblé things that they were? He thonght so, and looked at Bentz, who, he knew, did not think so. What good was the superiority of the cadet mind over watches or clocks, then? That was the ques- tion, There was that clock and there tn his hand was the watch. They both told him that it was ten minutes past eleven; and there was Bentz, whose bugie could make it twelve o'clock if he liked —— to’ make ee. The bugle couldn’s tell time without Bentz putting the breath of life into it, ang Beviz was a nan he knew well, who coulan’t be convinced by anything but proof, ve, con- yencing, undeniable Brgeh att fe a done? He had it, it was ten ininutes ‘even. By a littie dexterous ovement of a fuger on ths moe. oF his watch the minute hand might made to reach within three miantes ot twelve o'clock. He had been a clerk in a store once, and had performed the movement often on his employer's clock when he wanted to go home earlier than usual, and he had beta succeeded. Surely Bentz wasn’t avy smarter an a GREEN GROCERY MAN. So the new watch experienced the dexterous movement, and tie graduate went to Bentz and showed bim a ‘proof’? that the clock was mind- lng its busines’. Bentz looked at the watch and then at the clock, and nastily put the bugie to his mouth. The graduate felt like turning two or three somersaults and falling on a halfdozen plebes. But tie bugle was lowered, without a sound coming from it, and, puttifg his h Hy) beneath bis louse, onty hauled fort ani ore-fashioned giver ‘atch, Tt Akiced with the clock, am in he grinned & most triumphant grin he put itin his on the ground, Tie raduais, defeated, retreated to the barracks In very d order, where @ tuige rezerve of ys classmates were awaiting the result of the siratecy, he glory of his rout was told, and a “court, aartia} ?) as- dembled “to Try Benld.” “Meanwihtté, withot it the “court? perceiving it, the hands of the mucr maligned ciock midved slowly. Ob, 5h, siowly on, oropt the long anoW pointed mianté band, til it reached the top of the circle. The court had come to a decision, and the presiding genius of the occa- sion had risen to pronounce THE WORD OF yooM, when the hammer of the clock began to strike and the sound of the bugle rang out loudly, as though Bentz Knew what the court had done and was de- termined to have as littie breath leit in his body, for the death scene, as possible, The biast of the-trampel of the priesis with Joshua’s army laid iow the walls of a city, but the sound from Bentz’s bugie brought fifty-eight men to thelr feet, and while cheer upon cheer rent the sir and hand of friend clasped hand of friend as the words “at las’? were uttered in tones of gladness the class of *70 was aimemory of the tiling, that were, Bentz was saved aud the army of the m made stronger. THE FAREWELLS. The graduates had their baggage all packed and sent to the dock long before the clock had siruck the knell of their cadet ive, and so the transiguration scene was a thing of a moment, and so in the twink- ling of an eye, When the final hour iad come, where had been a few iolnutes before “boys” in gray and bell buttons there appeared men in artil- Jery and cavairy sults, with littie undress caps on their heads, all vain with the freshiy won crossed swords and ordnance. Everyone was ‘eager to leave the academy at the first moment, but the joyful leave-taking was noi altogether joyful; aud as the newly-made oflcers in palis and parties went from one officer's house to another to bid good bye to those who had encouraged them year after hos In their trials to struggle manfully, and on), jook forward to the day they had finally reached, the unbidden tear started to Many an eye, and words that were tobe spoken found no utterance. ‘Lhe final farewells were said when the boat steamed up tothe dock, It was with trembling lips that the God speeds were uttered by those who rematned be. hind, and it was with trembling itps that the good byes were pronounced by those who were leavii perhaps hevermore toreturn. There was mingle 7¥, and sorrow among the graduates when the boat jeft, but there was naught but sorrow for those who went up the nil to the hall deserted barracks with- out their old comrades, THE ALUMNI DINNER wok oe this evening, and was, as] predicted, an occasion Which was made very enjoyabie by the re- union of old classmates, who had, in many cases, never met since the day they had bidden their fare- wells to the Academy years ago. Professor Davies presided. Tie two oldest graduates present took their diplomas over fi: years ago, and it so hap- pened that they were bolh classmates, The alumni ls a purely social organization, and bas no political com- plexion whatever, its by-laws prohibiting allusion in. Speeches by members at reunion or business meet- ings to politics or things political. Cclonel Parsons, who had been, evor since the idea of the alumni was siarted, one ¢ its most active Iife-givers, supervised fri and Jaia the bugi i all the arrangements for the dinner, and, as @ matter of course, it wos a very enjoyable affair, The reunion took place in @ large tented coverway, especially constructed for (he oecasion, which was erected on the Jawn In front of Roe’s Hotel, A few speeches were indulged in, and as they wereshort and pithy the good things with which the tables groaned were ail the better appreciated, ‘The pleasant téfe d (tes between the ex-graduaies about tie days when Thayer sported his white pants in the summer time, ¢ like any cadet, and when Ringold made hi ‘y do won- derful tings, and Jim Dunean, hi at rival, did some wonderfai things with his; how one bad be. deyiled” another when one was “yleve and the other a “y carling’ —all were enjoye’ ina way that no sophonorieal speechiiying could have added zest to or “oration” given tone, The jollowing are the Rymes of te genviewen Who Were present aud date when bed Jeft the gray and bell buttons for we blue goid:— BES, a Casey.
