Major-Gen. Lee:
The Administration has decided to
thank Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for his ardu-
Qus distinguished, and faithful services
,ipscuba by giving him a commission as
Major-General of volunteers and put-
ting him in command of a division of
the army for the invasion of Cuba, says
the New York Sun.
The,American people, without a dis— ,
seating voice, will approve this act of
the Adgministratiion. The Godkins and
the? r impotent kind are not Americans.
(Tan. Lee, in his modesty, has dis- :
clr... med any special value and refused
any special thanks for his services. Yet
there is a general feeling that some
mark of appreciation and gratitude
should be given to him. He has taken
the only one that he wduld not have
refused, and it is the one dearest to his
heart. He will go back as a soldier to
help win Cuba from the Spaniards,
whose cruelties he has exposed. and
whose insults are still ringing in his
ears.
The Spanish editors in Havana pre-
tended to think that Gen. Lee went
away from there too soon. He will
come back a good deal sooner than will
be convenient for them; and when he
comes, and wherever he goes, at the’
head of the division, there will beI
warm work. i
W9! 9? Submission?
The‘ issue between the United States I
and Spain has now reached the point I
when both governments must choose i
between war or submission! Spain i
must chose between war or submission i
to the‘hb'solute and unconditional sur- I
render of Cuba. If Spain shall refuse I
to concede the independence of Cuba,
the United States must maintain its
ultimatum by war, or submit to the. I
power of Spain by receding from the '
positive and defiant attitude that is :
now declared by Congress and approv—
ed by the President.
Thus we are face to face with the is-
Only the.
mediation of foreign powers able to I
control Spain to the point of surrender- 3
ing Cuba,,c_an avert war. The Spanish .
sue ofwar or submission.
Government cannot consent to Cuban ,
independence, although every one in
. - i
authority well knows that Cuba is lost
to Spain forever; but any movement
4 l
looking to the surrender of Cuba would 2 ‘
certainly bring; immediate and sweep—
ing revolution in Spain.
The spanish Government is thus
compelled to declare war unless the
mediation'of foreign powers shall be
able to accomplish the present ap-
parently 'iinpcssible achievement of
directing spirit to acknowledge Cubai.
independence, with the assurance that
the Spanish dynasty shall be maintain—
ed. The outlook to-day is wholly for
war, and there is hardly a gleam of
hope to be seen in the lowering clouds
which now hang like a terrible pall
over the peace of the world.

WONDERFUL MEMORIES.
a Man “110 Could Repeat an Act of Pat“
llument.
Sealiger, 'tlie philologist of the six-
:eenth century, who edited sev-
eral of the classics, was so cer-
zain of- his memory that he un—
lertook to repeat long passages
from Latin works with a. dagger at his
breast, which was to be used against
him in the event of his memory fail-
ing: while Seneca, the tutor of Nero,
:ould repeat 2,000 words exactly as he
heard them. Pope could turn at once
to any passage which had struck him.
when'reading, and Leydmi, the- Scot-
tish poet, who died in the early part of
the century, was also remarkable for
his memory. When congratulated on
one occasion upon his aptitude for re-
'nembering things, 'Leyden replied that
he often found his memory a. source of
lnconvenlence. Surprise was ex-
pressed at this, whereupon the poet re-
plied that he often wished to recall a
particular passage, but could not do
so until he had repeated the whole
poem from {the beginning to where the
passage occurred‘which he wished to
recall. '
Leyden is also credited with having
been able to repeat an actof parliament
or a lengthy legal document after hav-
ing heard it once. The newspapers of
January, 1820, contain frequent allu-
sions to the case of a. man named
Thomson, who drew plans of a. dozen
London parishes, including every
church, chapel yard, court,'monument,
lamp post and innumerable trees and
pumps, without reference to a. single
book, and without asking a single
and an English clergyman'
mentions a man of weak intellect who
lived about the same time,who could re-
member the names and ages of—every
man. woman and child who. had been
buried in the parish during thirty-five
years. together with the dates of
burial and the names of the mourners
present at the funeral. That great
memories are not the, product of civi-
lizationlis proved by an instance re-
corded by Dr. Moffatt, the great At-
rican missionary. Dr. Moflatt once
preached a sermon to a. group of ne-
groes, and was shortly afterward at-
tracted by the gesticulations of a.
young savage addressing a. number of
blacks. On going. up to the group, he
during- his own sermon word. for word.

Vegetarian: 'a‘nd Meat Enters.-
A careful examination of the hearts
of the vegetarian and the meat eater
former are fifty-eightto the minute
and of the latter, seventy-two. In
twenty-four hours this mean! a. dif-
ference of 20,000 beats. From this it [8
concluded that in the summer time the
vegetarian has the advantage, for he
can keep cooler and in, better health
under the reduced number of heart-
beats. But in a cold climate, or in our
own winters, the heat generated by
such slow heart-beats would hardly be
sufficient to make life strong and re-
sisting enough. The true verdict that
one must reach is that the vegetarian
is better off in the summer and the
meat-eater stronger in thewintcr.
