Havana, vis Knx West, August 10.—
Lieutenant General Luis Prendergut,
Chief of Staff of the Spanish Army in
Cabs, is here. Taking his arrival in oon-
neotion with that of Martinez Oampoe,the
rumored ohange of administration of tbe
island is apparently well founded.
Gen. Jovellor inaugurated his adminis
tration by laying open the shameless
frauds committed by the army purveyors
and supervising defaulters, implicating
thereby indireotly ex-Oaptain General
Valmueda and others. The efforts of
Gen. Jovellar were in vain. The peremp
tory orders of Spain obliged him to re.
leue the defaulters and army awindlers.
Gen. Jovellar’g honor almost obliges him
to resign. If he resigns it is supposed
that Lieutenant General Prendergrutwilt
replace him temporarily.
MarqniB Sterling, a well known Gnban
lawyer, aocneed of ooospiraoy and impris
oned for ten months, hu beeu released.
Aff.frs are very unsatisfactory. The

Senator Book’s Hpeecli.
Tbe great speech of Senator Deck, of
Kentucky, at Maysville, in that State,
appears iu full iu the Cinoiunati Enquirer.
That portion whioh alludes to tbe aliisoc*
of Independent Democrats with Radicals
to defeat tbe regular organization, may
be read with profit by Mobile people
jast now. Uenstor Book said:
With Buob prospects,with such a osuse,
when we all know that suocess is only
possible through unity of aotion
and purpose; when the only
taotios lett to tbe eueiny is to divide in
order to oouquer us, it seems to me to be
the very extiome of madness and folly for
Democrats now to allow anything to
separte or weaken them. I oan hardly
understand bow men oon tun “Indepen
pent” or vole for Independents at a time
like this. I fully appreciate the polioy
of UadioalB, who oaunot elect a member
of their own party, fostering discontent,
and plaoiug in offloe refrsotory or rebel
lious Democrats, bat bow auy Democrat
can either abandon or weaken tbe power
or tbe discipline of bis party now pssBeB
my comprehension. Kentucky’s motto
should be held up before tbe eyes .of all
—“United we stand, divided we fall."
Our strength oonsists only in oar nnity,
Separately we are atoms; combined ivo are
invinoible. The single arrow obuld be
snapped like a reed; tbe well-wrapped
bundle of arrows oould not be bent. In
a crisis like this, it is far hotter to bave
open enmies than seoret foes.' These
who cannot act with the Demooratio
organization had better join tbe Radical
party.
Tbo organization and discipline of a
party must be as compact as that of an
army. Our strength in Keutaoky is our
most dangerous Bource of weakness.
Personal wrauglings for place rarely
divided us when onr opponents are equal
or nearly equal in strength; they spring
up sod destroy us when tbe opposition
osn only be felt in our dissension by
throwing its weight into one saale or the
other. That is their polioy now, all over
Kentncky. Strict parly discipline alone
can oountersot it, If a soldier in time of
war, who hud enlisted in your army, re
fuses to obey ordeis, left the ranks, call
ed bimBelf independent, and professed
to be fighting on your side wbile be was
drawing bis ammunition, provisions and
supplies from tbo enemy, yon would
drive him from among you or shoot him
as a deserter. You know that tbe enemy
would never support a soldier in any oon-
fliot, civil or military, who is not, in
tbe'r opinion, siding their esaso and
weakening tbe man they are seeking to
defeat. I repeat, our only safety is in
nnity, subordination to party discipline,
obedience to tbe will of tbe majority; and
all who refuse io conform to party orders
end support our nominees bed best be
driven into tbo osmp of the enemy.
Mr. Jefferson, in bis first insngnral ad
dress, attack the key-note when be re
quired of his party “Absolute acquies
cence in tbe decisions of a majority—the
vital principle of ropublios from whioh
there is no appeal bnt to foroe, tbe vital
priuoiple and immediate parent of des
potism.” No party can endure that does
not reoognize and enforce bis precepts in
this regard. The opponents of our prin
oiples ought never to be allowed to seleat
oar agents. It is true in politios, as in
war, that we ought to be sure not to do
whatever we find the enemy wants as to.
I have always praotiaed what I preach on
thl* subject, in as hard a race as men are
usually required to make for the Senate,
against many distinguished Democrats.
There were seventeen Republicans in the
Legislature, whose vote might decide,
some of them my warm per
sonal friends. I did not hesitate to avow
pnbliely during the heat of the oonteat
that I wonld deolino tbe race, and refuse
the plaoe if any of my opponents got a
majority of the Demooratio party over
me. I do not believe that any Demoorat
ought to hold plaoe or offloe against tbe will
of a majority of his party or in opposition
to its organization. Nobody now, poa-
seased of ordinary intelligence, cau de
cently pretend to misunderstand or be de-
oeived as to the effeot of a continuation
of Radical power, or as to the polioy they
intend to pursne. The prostitution of the
ballot-box last November, and tbe over
throw of even the semblanoe of justice
by the Electoral Commission, demonstrs'
ted that the most sacred righto of States
and people, tha very fundamental princi
ples of human liberty—all that freemen
lave sought to establish and perpetuate
in thia and other countrios—are utterly
ignored and disregarded when they stand
in the way of the Hadioal leaders. The
Demooratio party had for years warned
tbe people against them end their doings;
moderate and thinking Republicans had
united with us, bnt when we had defeated
them, the oonntry was ohsated oat of its
victory by force and fraud. They deter
mined to rale or rain. I hope they have
not snooeeded.
ENORMOUS TAX ON FLUUII.
HAT A PATENT IS EXPECTED TO DO IN
KEEPINO UP TAXES.
The New York Tribune says : Gx Gov.
Csdwsllader 0. Washburn, of Wisconsin,
in conversation with a representative of
tbe Tribune reoently, gave a history of a
patent for milling wheat, whioh threatens
to impose a tax of millions of dollars ou
the flour aonsnmers of the oountry. Me
said: “I am particularly interested just
now iu fighting the infamous patent right
swindle, whioh is going to levy tribute on
every loaf of bread made in this oountry.
You haven’t heard about it 1 Wby, it’s
making a greet sensation in tbe WeBt.
It’s a long atory, but I oan give you the
gist of it in a few moments. I am, by
the way the largest miller in tbe United
States, my mills being st Minneapolis,
Minn. All millers are now using wbat is
oalled the high process of grinding,
whiob was genetally iutroduoed
in this oonntry about 1871, bnt
bod been In nae in Europe
for fifty years. I will explain the terms
of high and low grinding. Low grinding
means bringing the upper or running
mill-stone low down and in olose proximi
ty to the nether-atone by reason of whioh
the largest amount of flour is derived
from the first grinding; but as ueoeasarily
must be the osse, a greet deal of the
outer ooating of the wheat, together with
the embryo, would be reduced to such
fineness as to go into the flour, and a
separation was impossible. The high
grinding is tbe direct opposite of the
low, snd the objeot is at the first grinding
to get rid of bran at onoe and make as
little flour as possible. This is done by
blowing the bran off the coarse ground
grain or middlings, and afterwards
grinding fine the smell white granules.
I bought my msohine in Franco. This
improved prAocu is now absolutely in
dispensable to successful milling. De
prive any miller of it end he is ruined.
“A ring of epeonlators in Washington
have lately got bold of an old patent,
never used, snd have got it reissued so
as to aover all the meohines for effecting
the prooess I have described. It is oalled
tbe Cochrane patent. After quietly tak
ing out the reissue, they went on without
making any noise and took a suit up to
F.DHAR ALLAN POE.
AN INPIANA JOURNAL PROFESSES TO HAVE
EXHUMED A HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED
POEM—INSCRIPTION ON AN OLD FLX LEAF.
From tile Kakama (Ini! ) Dispatch, Aug. 'III.]
The following besnlifal posthumous
poem from the gifted pen of the errstia
poet, Edgar Allan Foe, we believe has
never before beeu published in any form,
either in any published oolleotions of
Poe's poems now extant, or in any maga
zine or newspaper of any description, and
until tho critics shall show aonolusively to
tbe oontrary, tbe Dispatch shall claim the
honor of giving it to tbe world.
That tbe poem has never before been
published aud that it is a gennine produc
tion of the poet who we olAim to be its
author, we nre satisfied from tha circum
stances under wbiah it oame into onr pos
session after a thorough investigation.
Calling at the bouse of a gentleman ia
this oiiy tbo other day, on a business
errand, onr attention was oalled to a poem
wrilteu on tbe blank fly-leaf of an old
book. Handing ns tbe book he observed
that it (the poem) might bo good euough
to publish, and teat if wo thought so, to
take it along. Noticing the initiuls, E.
A. P., at tbe bottom of the poem, it
struok us that possibly we bad ruu aoross
a “bonanza,” so to Hpeak, and after read
ing it wo asked who its author wus, when
he relatod tile following bit of interesting
reminiscence. He said bo did not know
who tbe author was, only that be was a
young man, that, is, bo was a young man
when ho wroto the lines referred to. Ho
bed never Heen him himself, but beard
his grandfather, who gave him the book
containing tho verees, tell of tho ciroum-
stanoo anil tbe oacasion by whioh be, the
g randfather, oame into possession of the
ook. His grand parents kept a oouutry
hotel, a sort of waysido inn, iu a small
village celled Chesterfield, near Richmond,
Va. One night, juet before bodtime, a
yonng man who showed plainly the
marks of dissipation, rapped at the
door and asked if he oould stay all night,
and was shown to a room. That was the
last they saw of him. When they went to
his room the next morning to call him to
breakfast he had gone away and left the
book, on the fly leaf of wbiah he had
written the lines given below.
Farther than this onr informant knew
nothing, and being an uneducated, illit
erate man, it was quite natural that he
should allow tho great literary treasure to
go for so many yearn unpublished.
That the above statement is true, and
our dlsoovery no canard, we will take
pleasure In satisfying any who cares to
investigate the matter. The poem is
written in Roman oharaotors, and is al
most as legible as print itself, although
somewhat faded by the lapse of time. An
other peculiarity ia tbe manusoript whioh
we notice is that it oontainn not the least
sign of erasure or a single interlineated
word. We give tho poem verbatim, just

THE STRIKE AT KIRVEN'S 1
tf
Desiring to redace my large stock of
Dry Goods before replenishing for the
fall trade, I have straok former prices and
knocked them down so low that all oan
secure great bargains. Will sell great
many Goods at New York coat, and otbera
br low as any “cost” store. I mean what
I Buy, and will oonvinoe yon that yoar
money will bay more here than elsewhere,
if you will take the trouble to oall and
examine. My stock ia fredh—no old

tbe Supreme Oourt, with a man of straw
for defendant, and as no real defense wan
made, they easily obtained a decision
based on an opinion given by Jiistioe
Miller. Now thia gang of patent swind
lers are attacking tbe heaviest millers
with suits, expecting to terrify all the
others. They have singled ont tbe Jew
ells of Brooklyn, the Haxalls of lticb-
mond, and my mills at Minneapolis. They
have put me under bonds in the ©nor-
moufl sum of $250,000, pending tbo con-
elusion of injunction proceedings.
“I learn that the raBoalB propose to bo
magnanimous and to grant license to such
millers as will reoognize tbe validity of
their patent for tbe moderate snm of $6,-
000 for eaoh ran of stones, which for this
city alone araoants to tbo vast snra of $1,-
200,000. While primarily this groat sum
would come from the millers, really it
oomes out of the farmer and oonsnmer at
last, and they are tbe real people most
interested in defeat of this enormity. As
there are over 6,000 runs of stones in tbo
United States, this lioenae will amount to
$86,000,000. We are going to bring this
great outrage before Congress next win
ter and try to have it cancelled. Tbo
grain-growing seotions in the West are
indignant at the exposure of this enor
mous fraud, and the grain consuming
Eist ought to be equally aroused; for tho
attempted tax on the obief necessary of
life affeots both aliko.”

Tbe Inventor off tbe Cotton Gin*
“King Cotton and His Gin" is the title
of an article in the Atlantic Monthly. It
recites how Massachusetts invention
oame to the State of Georgia in the person
of Eli Whitney, tbe inventor of the cotton
gin; how his patterns were stolen bofore
hie patent was obtained; bow “in one in
stance Mr. Whitney had difi&oulty in
proving that the gin had ever bden used
in Georgia, although at that moment there
were several machines in motion within a
stone’s throw of the Conrt IIouho, so that
the rattling of the wheels might be dis
tinctly heard from the jurors’ seats.” Iu
four Southern States efforts wore made to
set aside Mr. Whitney’s claim to his in
vention, in spite of the aotivity which tbe
cotton gin had avowedly brought to tho
former languishing industry of cotton
growing. Although from the State in
whiob he first made, and where be had
introdnoed his machine, he had received
nothing, and from no State bad he re
oeived the amount of half a cent a pound
on tbe cotton cleaned by bis machine in
one year, he was unsuccessful in obtain
ing from Congress a renewal of his patent,
living before the days of the lobby, and
turned his attention to tho manufacture
of arms for the United States, which pre
sumably he found a more profitable
oustomer.

Lemon* a Cure for Conunmptloii.
A correspondent of an English medical
journal furnishes the following recipe as
a new cure for consumption : Put a dozen
lemons in oold water and boil until soft
(not too soft); roll and squeeze until the
juioe is all extracted, sweeten tbe juice
enough to bo palatable, then drink. Use
as often as a dozen times a day. Should
they oauBo pain or looseness of the bow
els, lessen the quantity and use five or six
a day until bettor, then begin to use a
dozen again. By the time you have used
five or six dozen you will begin to gain
strength and havo an appetite. O
course as you got bettor you need
not uno so many. Follow these
directions and we know that you will
never regret it if there is any help for
you. Only keep it up faithfnlly. We
know of two oases where both of the pa
tionts were giVon up by tbo phyHicians (
and were in the last stages of consump
tion, yet both were cured by using lem-
one according to tbe directions wo have
stated. One lady in particular was bed
ridden and very low: had tried every
thing that money oould procure, but all
in vaiu, when to ploAso a friend, sho was
finally persuaded to use the lemons. Sho
begun to use them in February, and in
April she weighed 140 pounds. She is a
well woman to-day, and likely to live as
long as any of us.
Many Wlio nre Niifferinir
From the effects of tho warm weather and
aro debilitated, are advised by physicians
to take moderate amounts of whiskey two
or three timeH during tho day. Iu a little
while those who adopt thisadvice frequent
ly increase the number of “drinks," and
in time become confirmed inebriates. A
beverage which will not create thirst for
intoxicating liquors, and which is intend
ed especially for tho benefit of debilitated
persons, whether at home or abroad, is
Dr. Sohenok’s Sea Weed Tonio. Contain
ing the juices of many medicinal herbs,
this preparation does not create an appe
tite for the intoxicating cup. The nour
ishing and life supporting properties of
many valuable natural productions con
tained in it and well known to medical
men have a most strengthening infiueuce.
A single bottle of tho Tonio will demon -
strate its valuable qualities. For debility
arising from sickness, over oxertion or
from any oauRe whatever, a wineglassful
of Sea Weed Tonio taken after meals will
strongbtben the stomach aud create nu ap
petite for wholesome food. To all who
are about leaving their homos, we desire
to say that the excellent effoots of Dr.
Hohenok’s reasonable remedies, Sou Weed
Tonio and Mandrake Pills,are particularly
evident when taken by those who aro in
juriously affected by a change of wator
and diet. No person should leave home
without taking a supply of these safe
guards along. For sale by all Druggists.
