WASHINGTON'S BIRTKDiY.
On Monday next Feb. 22 occurs the
anniversary of Washington's birthday. -I(
is a day dear to thn heart of every Ameri
can citizen. It is the birthday of one of the
greatest and bott men ol modern times.
The name of Washington stnnds pro-emi-nent
in Llstory nrnonfc statosmea and sol
diers. Tho duy which mark his bitth
" should be properly and respectfully ob
served tbrouuhout tbe whole land. Of late
rars ft him t,n pretty generally obs-rved
, lis n holiday, nml as years roll round, we
hope to see It, next to the Fourth of July,
the preat national holiday of the American
people.
lu uider that all connected with tbo Rkc
iid establishment may have an opportunity
to proiterlv olwerve the day. and In accord
ance with custom established amonr? news
men., no p(.r win bo hailed from this
oc cn Monday afternoon.
With the Crelnn difllcully yet unsettle.!,
Turfr-y Is threatened with even great!
nn....8 on the other side. The Shah of
Perxia. it in reported, is marching at the
. head ut his enny upon Unclad, and the Sui.
tnn is pinhinjr wrj troops to meet him.
la tMs entanglement of the Eastern question
inert) is involved no consideration nf liberty
religious or political, and nono of t'noi fea
tures which have excilcl bo much sympa
thy wiih thn Greek Insurgent. It is s'm
ply the culmination if the long quarrel be
tween th two greet Mohammedan powers;
tint thoiuh nneimn.'ctod with the strucule
between Moslem and ChrHtiun, it is more
than probable that Russia is interested in
the nwtler quite as much ns in the demon
stration on the part of Greece. By secretly
aid in (i Persia in this bold advance into the
Miliars dominion, Russia will favor her
own purposes ajainst the Parte, weakening
her enemy and preparing for the grand
strl; which will settle forever the question
of Rnsjian supremacy In the East.

Tdb Frkxch Ball. A vivid reporter
thus sketches the closing scene of the French
Ball in New York lust week: '-Jlary
Price, JI'llo Louise, and heaven only knows
how many women besides in all varieties
of costume, and some scnicely in any cos
tume at all are up stairs in the bur room,
drinking freely and easily with .their mas
online friends A little girl in black, nnd
very little of it. le kissing tho men in her
neighborhood all round, a pleasing occupa
tion in which she has several coadjutors
downstairs. Another young lady in pink
is tumbling the best she can, and crying
out she "wants to seo her Nellie." . A beau
tiful FrcDch girl in male cqstume, with
flaxen hair swears loudly 'f ot perdu mon
argent,' and embraces the Indies as they
pass, and for that matter tbo gentlemen.
Men with masks, cr withont them enter the
boxes and speak to sncb ladies' as they
fancy. Men are as women, and women as
men and all is license. And thus tbe
ball is balled and the masque is masked, or
ratber unmasked, till at last tbe gray tips
of dawn are seen in thn east.",

Several Cubans arrived atFernandina on
Thursday morning last, a part of them reg
istering at their hotel from New Yotk, nnd
others from Honduras. They were very
gentlemanly, well educated, and conversed
freely upon general subjects, but nothing
could be learned Irotn them as to their busi
ness in this city. On Sunday morning the
party was increased by the arrival of twenty,
three others, making in all about lorty-five
of them, registering from Honduras and Ha
vana. Immediately after they had break
fasted tho entiro party proceeded to Dibbie's
wharf,' where they were promptly met bv
steamer Henry Burden, , which they had
chartered for Nassau, N. B. The whole com
pany was very reticent, and nothing was
known eoncemlng their destinatioa previous
to their departure except by the agents if
the steamer and the Custom House officers.
There has been tnnch speculation as to their
purposes, which romains an absolute myste

In .Maine there is considerable excitement
in regard to capital punishment. The law
which hasboooon thes'ntiitn book for many
yeurs.is that a persou convicted of a capital
crime shall be sentenced to death, but that
the scntenco shall not bo carried into execu
tion until one year has elapsed after convic
tion. It was until quitn lately tho'practice
to puss the death senteuca on murderers,
and at tho expiration of theprescriljnlyeur,
the Governor simply neglrcira i imob
death warrant. In this way it ome to pans
t-i of peisons under pen-
tencu of death accumulate! at the Thoiinis-
on State Trison, and Ihrugh it wns in the
power of the Governor at any timo to order
their execution, the successive incumbents
of the gubernatorial oGces neglected to take
such a course. Tho qneslions which acitnt
the. public mind and tbu Legislature is.
shail capital punishment be at'ulishvd by
law, as it is virtually in practice?

Ar.ieno lioiibSuye's new woik oa female
beauty will be. uppreciated by American
ladiis, whom it ptouounccs thn moft beauti
ful In the world. A peculiar feature of the
book Is tbe interesting rketciies in which
tbe author portrays tbe appearaneo of tho
American ladies whom he mat In tbe course
of bis life. There is only this which M.J
Iloussaye does not Hie about American wo
men,,and tbnt i. t' o r lanniiue. Ho says
the English bn;;;nye, ol Which hs is very
fond, even when spoken by thd prettiest
i female, mouth, bus something rough and
uncouth something masculine nnd vigor
ous, which is more suitable to tke deck of a
man-of-war than to the carpcled floor of a
saloon. Next to tho Ainciicas women, M.
Honssnyo overflows with admiration of tho
fair subjects of the Russian Emperor, who,
he says make tbe best matches and are the
quoensof the circles in which they move.
