The ravage nf the cholera In Spain, terrible at thoy are, have not been sufll- tient to prevent tho outbreak of a war fever as vlolcnt.ln lis way, as thonging Of t he epidemic. Spain Is poor and weak btft as proud as poor, and willing, in splto of hfrweakness.to measure swords with any power on earth that dares to 'fres'pMs. oa her .righto or what she ehoos to regard as htr rights. Hence' when Germany, r.o doubt preumlne on Spanish inferiority to herself in military resources, ventures to-lsy violent' hands en certain of the Caroline Islands, the fiory Spanish blood is up in a trice', and nothing but instant withdrawal or the alternative of war can satisfy tho excit able populace. King Alphonso, who baa had frlondly leanings toward Ger many, and was not long ago Insulted In Pari3 as an "Uh'lau Ktug," has had grave doubts, so tho despatches say, whether his Tcutonio predilections might n6t cost him his crown. As he presumably cares a good deal more for his crown than for the friendship of Germany, tho poor King's Indignation has naturally not lagged behind that of his subjects. It would hot take muoh therefore, to fan the spark of war Into a flamc,and set tho two nations to fight' Ing each other, like curs snarling over bone, In furious earnest. But such a quarrel, If It should really take place, would bo as absurd as would be shocking. Tho cause Is by no means adequate to justify nn appeal to arms. The Carolluo Islands aro not worth a war between two such countries aa Spain and Germany. They constitute a widely-scattered archipelago in the Pacific Ocean cast of tho Philippines, with a small population and a moderate commerce. Tho entire valuo of tho group would probably not equal the cost of tho lirst few months of preparation for hostIUtIcs,and certainly tho waste of blood and treasure, and tho misery re suiting from a war would far exceed their utmost worth. No doubt if Ger many should persist, with the obstinacy characteristic of her, In planting her flag on some part of this remote terri tory, Spanish prldu would bo deeply wounded. Spain has never relinquished a foot of territory over which she. had any sort of jurisdiction without a bitter struggle. But It would be simply bar narous for the two nations to stumble Into a war over so unprofitable a matter, And the absurdity of such a continccn cy Is not dlmlshed when It Is considered that the Spanish assertion of sovereign ty over tho Caroline Islands is, after all only nominal. They do not belong to Spain, In tho sense that Cuba or even the Philippine Islands do, so that a war on their account would bo for barely moro than an empty shadow. We trust tho world will bo spared so terrible a spectacle of human folly and unreasoning angei as such a war would present. German aggression Is no doubt coming to bo a very Imitating matter, and her growing lust for territory, which 1.! 1- A- .. uiua lair 10 siir up uau DIOOd in more than one quarter, may yet ncod to have some check applied to it. But if that time should come, It Is to be hoped the cause for chastisement and the strength of the administrator will both exceed those of tho present instance. Snaln witn tier 160 war-vessels of all sorts. thirteen of them Iron-clads, could un questionably make a gallant fight even gainst so superior a foe as Germany.for tue lighting would be mainly on the sea where Germany's peculiar strength coutuM not bo exerted; yet tho Issue would not be doubtful, and she could 111 afford, In her broken, Impoverished condition, to endure the loss and suflcrine of a pro longed ami mmiess war.

In the days of the Tweed Hint- there nourished in Iew York a gentleman by tno name of Sands to bo n.irtienlr nthaniel Sands, and Mr. Nathaniel Sands was ono of thoso goody-goodies that could not ly any possibility do any- ining wrong, and the reason he could not lo anything wrong was because he wan so good. He was a churchman in full fel Iowklu'p; ho was a deacon and trublce. an active promoter of foreign missions, and a foremost man in all good work general ly where there was other people's money to spend. Mr. Sands did not travel on his shape, but he did ou his piety nnd his general good habits. Likp that excellent young man in tho story, Little ltolert Heed, lie novcr Binokcd or chewed tobacco, and if ho had been examined under catli he could not huvo told the diflcrenco be tween a whiikoy-cocktail and a brandy sour. 'Whenever tho city, like Diogenes, was looking for an honest man, it lienor- .11.. nl.l.J X- .1 , . . . r.mvu uui nuiiiaiuei ennus lor tho place; for although New York was aver agely good, the crop of honest men was not so plentiful that it was likely to run to seed. If a trustee was lo be appointed to a bankrupt estate, Mr. Sands was al- was on hand for the appointment; or if an orphan s legacy was to be looked after Mr. Sands seldom got left if he kucw it. When the Tweed ring blossomed into such magnificent proportions, in order to make the thing symctrieal and harmoni ous, they thought it would .bo the proper thing to haven pious man around to give the thing tone' and flavor, so they hit on Nathaniel Sands. When ruin camo and the principals were hunted into exile or prison, Nat Sands camo up without a ripploon his benignant countenance and thanked the Lord that he was not aa oth er men. A judgment was recovered against Sands, however, for $160,000, the proceeds of the sale of certain bonds which this immaculate officer pocketed. but getting n judgment and getting the cash were two different things, and for twelve long years Mr, Sands has fought tho city and kept the cash. The lawyers chased him. from pillar to pot, and at last they put him in jail, when ho turned on his persecutors and took the nauncr'a oath and swore that ho had not u cent in tho world. During the interim, howev. It is only throe weeks sinea this city wss draped iu mourning. To-dav scarce- ly a vestige remains, and tho current of our daily life flows on the same dark rapid stream with scarcely a ripplo on its surface. Ouo man moro or less makes very little djfiercnoe in this world no matter how largo tho epaco ho occupied when living. Already General Grant is but a memory but a memory canonized nnd sanctified. It is interesting to watch the crowd that daily comes to Uiversido Park. Nowhcro clso in tho world I be lieve can a Bimilar multitude bo found so quiet and so respectful.

So great has been tho travel to Riverside Park that now lines of railway aro being inaugurated to ac commodate it. Wc are on tho cvo of a rovolution in our transit motors, which will eventually drive steam from our elevated roads and horses from the surface ronds of the city. Ono of the elevated roads Is experiment ing with an electric motor, and ono of tho surface roads with a cable.

Now the opin ion of your critic after all is only the opinion of one man, and my experience is that it lias little effect upon the nub- Me.' I have seen tho most eminent critics on the New York press prognosticate failure for some of tho most remarkable dramatic successes of the past. One in stance in particular strikes mo now Burton's Captuin Cuttle in Dombey and Son. The 5ieco was played for u week to empty benches, and it was tiio ftccond week, after every paper in New York had pronounced it a most disastrous fail ure, before the public turned out to seo it, and then they did not come to see Burton Captain Cuttle, but tho Touts of Mnnll actor by the name of Raymond. But the piece ran three years without a break, and win one of tho greatest dra matic successes ever seen ou the Ameri- ;m stage. When. Billy Florence pro duced the Almighty Dollar the critics sjid it would not live it week, but it is aid. that Mr. Florence informed a friend, io Juke of Bcaulort, the Marquis of hislleuown and the Lord knows who, at he had pockeled a cool quarter of a million from his effort; and as Mr. Flor ence was never known to cxuircerate. be ing an cxceedinclv modest and reliiiim man, tho presumption is that the amount rather under than over tho figures. !.. ... . . . .

Against a storm of adverse criticism she has held her own in New York, defying the crit ics and determined to win. Pluck will do wonders. When Ma.-y Anderson came to New York the critics came down on her like an avalanche. She was gawky, she was crude, she was Hmrular. she was scrawny in short she was ev erything but an actress. Now the same crowd ore all running after her, and the language Is exhausted In her praise. Miss Moore may not be a Mary Andcr son. but she can discount her bank ac count, and in the matter of thousands Mita Anderson is nowhere.

OUR SOUTHERN EUBGET FHOM OUlt SPIXIAI, ColtltESPOXDENT. SouriimsN Pines, N.C., Aug. 20, "There! just listen to that, will you?" a friend exclaimed tho other day, at tracting my attention to sundry sounds that camo welling from the kitchen. Here is what we heard: A great clat tering of pots nnd pans. A feminine volco exclaiming, "Shoo, dahl git out o dat, will you'i"' to the chickens, and a "Go right away from dah, or I break yo' back, yo red pig, yo' I" to the pre sumptlous swlno which roam at will all over this section of the State. The jingling of teaspoons aud the clatter of tea cups and saucers was accompanied by the half-muffled strains of tho weird est music mortal cars ever drunk In, Dante heard such when he composed his picture of the Inferno. But listen. The walling, sighing, once-heard-ncver- to-be-forgotten sound suddenly gives. way to a louder Btraln that is communi cated, not in weird wat!Iug,but in words. uere tuey are: "I don't care for Sitan, Rut Satan's In lub wld me, Under these clr-edm-stunee. Rutan 'n' f can't afreet" I glanced through a convenient crack in tho door, 'fho head of the negrcss, which was covered all over with llttlo sharp, wads' of hair" tied up with white cord, kept tlmo to the music She bad p'auscd from her labors, which is noth ing unusual for tho best of them to do.

Such preach ing, such Ringing and such praying were never heard anywhere only at n similar service. I remember one big chap who scorned to be a leader. Tbcy called him brother Pomp Perkins. I thought ho was golni: to pray a few of the biggest stars right plum down from tho sky. All of us were affected. Finally, along about midnight, tho praying ceased, the binglng sisters succumbed to the powers of tired nature, and tho camp was soon as silent as tho grave. Finally tho si lcnco was broken In different parts of tho camp by loud and unqualified snor ing. Every mother's son and daughter of them was In the land of dreams. About twentv of the leaders. Including Pomp Perkins, slept on a platform which was covered with a shlmd,. mnf. Silently us boys stole up there were ten of us wo surrounded tho cover, a slight whistle was tho signal, and that roof slowly aroso In the air. and wn walked nwav with It and mt Ititnnn about ton rods from whero It originally rested. Then we hid oursehes and waited for developments. "In about twenty minutes a small black cloud, 'no bigger than a man's hand,' bcttdded across the sky. It didn't hide the moon, but it shed a few great uik mv n ui rain, its tue rainurnm to upon the faces of tho slumbering deacons and bishops and otherclerical dignitaries who slept upon the platform, ono by ono of them stirred uneasily, tiled to brush ou an imaginary bug, and then awoke, for a moment all was still.

They finally "tuu mat mej- were nt camp meeting; ""-j "au not uecn onnKiug; mat they went to sleep beneath a roof, and now it was COlie. An soon n nil nfllif.tr. conuiuons were thoroughly settled In their minds, brother Pomp Perkins' brought a yell that must have awakened me summers of the old boy himself. 'Didn't I pray do good Law d to show us a sigh that Ho was really heah and was do ruler of da heaven and ih. yeasin? An- no's done Itl Halleluiah!' the rest of the brothers caught the spirit. Tho good sisters heard of tho Divine manifestation, the miracle, nnd such shouting and praising, and singing uiu ucvi-r iiuaru ueiore nor since.

It was urn nrst miracle I ever saw wrought, but it was not the last by any manner of means." But moro strains from the kitchen In terrupted my ft lend, who held his peace and listened to the goat-colored angel, who warbled: "A ou may ro an tell olo Satan, Dat tor Elnry we am bound e're on boaid the oie ship Zlon, Au if ho follows ho'U ho drowned." House domestics aro verv iilcntlful nt the South, and they will work forery low wages. But they cannot compare with the intelligent, thoughtful help of tho North.
