Cuban Attain.
Considerable feeling wm excited in (bis city
by the news brought by the last arrival from Ha
vana, announcing the execution of Francisco
Estrampes on the 31st ult., under a conviction of
treason. There was a strong sympathy with this
young man, partly because he was a citizen of
the United Slates ; then, liocause he was tried
in that summary mysterious way, unknown to
our laws; and finally, because from first to last,
he behaved in a gallant, defiant manner, giving
cheers for Cuban Independence, even on the
way to execution. Everybody is moved with
such exhibitions of pluck, whether in highway
men or pattiots.
But coming down to the justice of the case, it
is undeniable that Estrampes had committed
treason against Spain, in attempting to advance
the cause of revolution in Cuba bv violent means.
To ;tie last he gloried in the attempt, defied and
replied all efforts to tempt him to engagements
to alwtain from future enterprises of :t like kind
and, as we have said, raised shouts for Cuban hi
dependence Oil It'S wav to cxccllt ion. II- Seems
to have been title ot those desperate, indomita
ble characters, who, in default olliuing able to
be the heroes of a revolution, atu willing to l„*
tin, martyrs of the attempt.
The American Consul at Havana made a strong
protest against the cxcciiaiiou of Estraiii|K‘s, on
the ground that In* had not lie n tried according
to the provisions of the treaty between the United
Suites and Spain. We believe, however, that
persons levying war against a foreign State, w ith
which we are tit peace, are regarded as outlaws
by the United States, and can claim protection
neither under her laws nor any special trea
ties.
This matter is well enough undcrstmid by the
fillihusters. ff they succeed, they gain a place
in history ; if they fail, they must, be garrotid.
Wo may lament to see brave men brought to
such unprofitable uses, but if they will peisist in
putting their heads into the lyoti's jaws, it is
surely not wonderful that, now and then, one
of them gets crushed.— Charleston Mercury. Oth

The Chinese Adam.
The notions enteitaiued by Chinese writers on
1 tbe subject o! the first in in and the creation of
i 1 ‘ “ *r*d. are very curious. They begin like our j
■ aip tiral uccoti it, wuli a time when the earth

jin the material wmld possess,**, or is re-j

! ing hcaieu, llie sun. and ,lav) is masculine.—
W liatcver is soft (iucltniiitg the earth moon and
- night, as well as—earth, wood, metals, and wa
! t,-r) is feminine.. (Mioofoots savs ,m this *i|l>j,*i*l, •

tailed trimiliiedu.il principles named Vitig and j
j Vang,—the superior and ii.ard, —the inferior and j
| soli.” It is curious to find that the Chines,*!
j have alo a theory resembling one propounded;
j by I‘ytliagnias, containing monads and dttads. j
j ••On,*;” they say, “begat two, two produced four,!
j increased to eight; and thus by spontaneous;
i multiplication, the production of all things fol- j
; lowed,”
As for the present system of things, it is the
; work of what they call “the triad powers,—Hea
j veil, Man and, Earth. The following is trails],a- \
! ted from a Chinese Encylopaidia, published i
! about sixty years ago,—“Before heaven and ‘
! earth existed, they were commingled as the eon-’
i tents of an eggshell are.” [ln litis egg shell,
! heaven is likened to the yellow, and the earth !
to the white of the egg. J “Or they were to-i
j getlier turbid and muddy like thick dreggs just !
: beginning to settle. Or they were together like !
a thick tog on the point of breaking. Then
| was the beginning of time, when the original j
i power created all things. Heaven and earth are |
| the effect of the First Cause. They in turn pro- 1
j duced all other tilings besides.
Another part of tradition runs as follows : “In ;
. the midst ot this chaotic mass l’wankoo lived ]
! during eighteen thousand veais, lie lived w hen
; the heaven and earth were being eieated ; lh,*i
I superior and lighter elements forming the fir- ;
j liniment, —the inferior and coarser the dry land.” !
j Again “During this tune the heaiuus ineresis- j
ed every day ten teet in height, the earth as ’
much in thickness, and Pwnnkoo in statute. — j
j 1 lie period of eighteen thousand years beitigj
! assigned to the growth .of each respectively, <iit ]
! ring that time, the licit,etis rose to their extiome I
j height, the earth reach,*,l the greatest thick-’
j ness, ami I’watikon, his utmost stature. The :
j licavciis rose afofi nine thoiis.ind miles, the earth ;
I swelled nine liiotisand miles in lliiekttess, and in ;
i tlie middle was Uwankoo, stretching himself ln -

teen thousand Veals of effort, ive are told dial
“his head became mountains, his breath winds
and clouds, and his voice thunder. His left eye
was made the sun, and his right eye the moon,
His teeth, lioties, and marrow were changed in
ter metals, rock*, and precious stones, flis
beard was converted into stars, bis flesh into
fields, bis skin and hair into herbs and trees. —
Bis limits became the four ( roles, his veins rivers,
and bis sittews formed the undulations on the
bee of the earth. LHs very sweat wae transform
ed into rain, and whatever insects •lucfc-'to of |

The uiiediicated Chinesonh*cureless and the
educated skeptical about these things. Asa
people they are easily induced to pay much re
gard to whatever has reference to more than
everyday social wisdom. The sort of doctrine j
common now among tliejlearhud, is indeed found:
in the succeeding passage from the Chinese au
thor : “But a* everything (except heavens and j
earth) must have a beginning and a cause, it is j
manifest that heaven and earth always existed]
and that all sorts of men and lieings were produe
ed and endowed with their various qualifies, by j
that cause. However it nuisl have l>een man ]
that in the l>egihtimg produced all* the things!
upon the earth. Iliin therefore we may view
as Lord ; and it is from him. we may say, that
the dignities of rulers are derived.”

luiiil quotations more aptly applied, than in the;
following dialog e, which took place at the table
of Bishop 1 tonne :
It is stated that Bishop lloane, of New Jersey,
is strongly opposed to temperance. A short
times; lice, Kuv. Mr. Perkins, of tlie same duuoiu
inoti,hi, and a member of the order of “Son*,”
dined with the Bishop, who, pouring out a glass
of wine, desired the reverend gentleman to drink
with him, whereupon lie replied :
“Can't do it, Bishop, ‘wine is a mocker.”*
“Take a glass of brandy, then,"laid the distin
guished ecclesiastic. ‘
“Can’t 4|t, Bishop, raging.’ ”
By tbitVUpe the Bishop, I -< i.inirgadinewbat

“No, Bisliop, I can’t do that, ivoo untoffro*

proceedings, our informant did not state.
