THE FIRST SHOW-FALt,
Tie snow hod begun in the gloaming,
And busily, all the night,
Bad been heaping field and highway
With a silence deep and white.
Bvery pine and fir and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm-tree
Was ridged inch-deep with pearl.
From sheds new-roofed with Carrara
Came Chanticleer’s mufiled crow;
Tto© stiffrails wer©softened to s.wans’-down*
And still wavered down the snow.
I stood and watched from the window
:• The noiseless work of the sky,
tAnd the sudden flurries of snow birds.
~ like brown leaves whirling by.
j thought of a mound in Bweet Auburn,
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently.
As did robins the Babes in the Wood.
Tip spoke onr own little Mabel,
baying, “Father, who makes tbe snow?”
Ana I told of the good All-Father
Who cares for us here below.
Again I looked at the snow-fall,
And thought of the leaden sky
Thai arched o’er our first great sorrow
When that mound was heaped so high.
I remembered the gradual patience
That fell from that cloud like snow,
Flake by flake, healing and hiding
The scars of onr buried woe.
Then with eyes that saw not I kissed her,
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close under deepening sdow.

THE EAST OF THE BOURBONS.
Spanish Abolitionism and tbe Comlog
Revolution—Action of the Cuban Dele
gates In favor of Emancipation.
[From the London News. November 24.1
It has passed into a proverb that the
Bourbons neither forget nor learn. The
present condition of affairs in Spain
supplies a forcible illustration of this
dynastical aphorism, for neither Queen
Isabella 11. nor her political advisers
appear to have forgotten the traditions
of their country nor to have learned the
smallest particle of wisdom from con
temporaneous events. These personages
dream of the possibility of governing
sixteen millions of people in the middle
of the nineteenth century precisely as
their predecessors ruled in the dark
ages. It would not be surprising were
an attempt made to revive the Inquisi
tion. Is this moral blindness peculiar
to the Bourbon race, or is it simply an
idosyncrasy of desptoic power? Th
either case the result’ is the same, for
oppression and misrule usurp the place
offreedom and liberal institutions. Igno
rance and misery at home, and loss of
credit and political consideration abroad,
are the inevitable consequence.
At this moment the whole country is
under martial law. Narvaez rules by
the sword, and no man’s life is safe. The
press is gagged; meetings for the discus
sion of political or othersubjects are pro
hibited under the severest penalties; op
position is silenced by terror; many of
the leading politicians have fled the
country, and those who remain yield a
relnctant acquiescence to the decrees of
the powers that be, or maintain an omi
hoUS silence, Meanwhile the army is
sullen and conspiracy is rifer than ever.
Ere long an explosion must take place,
and no one is bold enough to predict that
it will not overturn the throne of Isa
bella 11., and terminate the rule of the
Burbonsin Spain.
This system of mlsgovernment caused
the colonists of the Spanish possessions
in America to revolt, and if Cuba and
Porto Rico yet belong to Queen Isabella,
it is not that the people are satisfied,but
because, under the pretext of preparation
/or a possible negro insurrection, a large
army is maintained there, ready at any
time to suppress political excitement or
the smallest manifestation of disaffection
on the part of the Cubans and Porto
Bicans. In spite, however, of this Da
jnoclesi&n sword, the colonists of the
Spanish Antilles have from time to time
asserted their right to be governed as
citizens, not ruled as slaves. Many of
their leaders were inconsequence driven
into exile and poverty,but their speeches
and writings found their way into the
islands and continued to produce fruit
hy raising up new advocates of colonial
reform. But the Spanish government
persisted in turning a deaf ear to the re
monstrances and petitions which poured
in upon it from the colonial reform
party, and began to consider the move
ment serious only when the abolition of
the slave trade and slavery was mooted
as an indispensable preliminary to all
other reforms.
The slaveholders’ war . in the United
States, and its results, imparted to this
phase of the colonial reform movement
a significance not to be mistaken, and
probably with a view to postpone indefi
nitely the solution of this grave question
the Narvaez Cabinet, assuming the inia
tive, promulgated a decree bearing date
the 25th of November, 1860, which an
nounced the attention of the govern
ment immediasely to consider what
political, financial and social reform
should be conceded to the citizens of
Cuba and Porto Rico. In accordance
with this decree they were required to
send delegates from the various districts
of these islands to meet an equal num
ber of representatives of the govern
ment, selected from among those of its
officers who had been personally en
gaged in the administration of the colo
nies, the two sections to form a Commis
sion of Inquiry to confer os'to the re
forms to be instituted and the means of
carrying them into effect. This com
mission assembled at Madrid on the
30th of last month, and ha 9 held three
meeting.
The opening address of the Colonial
Minister, Senor Canovas del Castillo,
was redundant with professions of the
intention of the government to deal
frankly with the question before it; all
the information that the delegates de
sired to tender would be gratefully re
ceived; every pointshould nave the most
respectful and attentive consideration,
the government had no prejudices, had
come to no foregone conclusion,and only
pledged itFelf to do justice to all parties.
The Commissioners received these assu
rances with every demonstration of
satisfaction, and forthwith prepared
themselves for their work. It was not,
however, a very encouraging fact that
fbe govern ment section of the., commis
sion consisted of. individuals pledged to
maintain the present order ’of things.
On the other hand, of the twenty-two
delegates from Cuba and the sis from
; Porto Rico only six are of the same view
as the government, the remainder being
all firm abolitionists.
THEDAILY EVENINGBULLETDf.—PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15,1866—T81P01 SHEET;
If any of tlie colonial delegates were
deluded by the honied words of Senor
Canbvas del Castillo into the belief that
the government really intended to act
upto its protestations, the printed “in
terrogatory” of twenty-six questions,
under the separate heads of “negro
slaves, free negroes, Asiatic population,
and immigration,”, which the Minister
placed in their hands,must at once have
snatched the veil from their eyes. The
effect produced upon them may be
judged of by the result. The Porto Ri
can delegates, with One exception, en
tered an energetic protest against the
course of the government, declar
ing it to be flagrantly inconsis
tent with the terms of the
royal decree. They stated that
the tendencyof those questions
was to perpetuate slavery indefinitely,
and as such an intention was not only
opposed to the views of their cphstitu
ents, but antagonistic to the prosperity
of the island, they declined to auswer
any of the queries. They also demanded
on behalf and in the name of their con
stituents, the immediate abolition of
slavery, with or without compensation,
to the Blave owners,and with or without
any regulations respecting the introduc
tion of immigrant labor. They declared
that the social reform involved in their
demand was of primary importance,and
that while they reserved the right of
pr essing for those adminis trati ve cha ages
which the circumstances of the colony
rendered imperative, they should insist
to the end upon the abolition of slavery
as an indispensable preliminary.
This noble protest proved contagious.
The Cuban delegates, at first surprised,
presently announced their adhesion to
it, and, in principle, to the demand for
abolition. But while they considered
immediate emancipation might safely be
conceded to Porto Rico, the circum
stances and the condition of Cuba were
so different that they preferred preparing
a plan of emancipation more suitable to
their island, which they should submit
as soon as the discussions on Cuba were
opened. Thus stood the question on the
13th of the present month.
The action of the government has now
to be seen. It can no longer dally with
the question of emancipation. The abo
litionist party in Spain has sprung into
existence in a most marvelous manner.
Two years ago it had no existence. The
“ Progressistas ” are unanimously in fa
vor of emancipation, and until Narvaez
stifled the presß upwards of eighty news-
Eapera advocated it. The Spanish Anti
lavery Society, of which Don Salus
tiano Olozaga is President, inaugurated
only on the first of April last year, hus
held three numerously attended public
meetings on the question, and numbers
among its supporters the most eloquent
orators in Spam, and some of the mo3t
distinguished members of the'. Cortes.
The reign of terror has alone checked its
progress, but, sustained as it is, and
strengthened by the attitude which the
colonial delegateshave assumed,it would
seem impossible that anything short of
extinction by the iron hand can prevent
the solution of th,e important question
which it has been Instrumental in rais
ing.
Thus do great principles make liheir
way.
Jnjobe.
“What is it? Where does it come
from? What is it made of?”
I think five hundred times I have
heard these and similar questions asked
about the pleasant, palatable paste used
in confections and pectoral compounds;
and doubtless there are hundreds o'
thousands of people somewhat familiar
■with the commercial jujube paste of all
civilized countries, who have no more
definite idea of what it is made of, than
a Hottentot has of a hymn book. This
universal ignorance of jujube, and the
tree that produces the genuine material,
is scarcely creditable tou3, who grow so
many thousand tons of noxious tobacco,
and make so many million gallons of
murderous rum.
in reply tothequestion.what is jujube
paste made of, I have to reply, that
thl'te-fifths of all we buy and use aspure
jvjubc is a compound of poor gum
Arabic, damaged flour, and cheap sugar,
tinted with some viilanous chemical
liSuiu.
The little pure jujujje paste we get is
made from the fruit of thejnj".bc tree—
(.Rhamnus Zbpkus)—a. common Bast
Indian tree, or more generally, a large
shrub, growing also in the majority of
the islands, of Japan, and on the conti
nent, hardy and abundantly fruitful in
all the Northern mountains of China,
and north into Tartary, where the win
ter cold is so intense that no other fruit
trees exist. The tree resembles most in
appearance and habits of growth, the
honey locusts of the United States, while
the fruit is very like, in size, shape and
color, our smaller purplish damson
plums, with a pit something similar,
| only smaller in proportion, rounder and
more pointed. Eaten when quite ripe,
the fruit has a pleasant taste,and slightly
aromatic flavor. From the setting of
the blossom to maturity, the fruit re-
I quires about three and a half months,
I though two or three pretty sharp frosts,
I either on the flowers or ripe fruit, does
1 not appear to injure it.
I The paste is easily made, exactly as
I the housewife manufactures marmalade
I from pears,or other fruit,simply by ste w-
I ing, straining and boiling down ata very
I low heat.
I There are few of the jujube trees grow-
I ing and bearing fruit in the United
I States,but considering that it will thrive
I and bear fruit wherever the apple,peach
I or pear will, and in some places where
1 they will not; and considering also the
I very many purposes in confections and
I cookery to which it may be applied, as
I well as its valuable medicinal properties,
I a great many thousands of our people
I who have gardens ought to cultivate the
I jvjube tree. — The Gua'i'dian.
A Gorilla Captured.
M. de bangle has forwarded to the French
Academy the fellowing account of a young
gorilla, recently captured:
; “Gaboon, The Zenobia, 20th July, IS6G.
—My subject is a female. lam told oy the
black who brought it to me that the mother;
was in a palm tree when he carried off the
animal. It was eating the palm fruit, those
from which the palm oil is made.: The little
‘Gina’ is always suspended from its mother:
in front in suph a position as to be able to
suck at any moment, and it always'takes
np that position when the person who car-,
ries it lets it do as it likes. But it is very
soon troublesome, and when yon wish to
make it give up that position it utters cries,'
and it is only by trick that it can, be made
to let go its hold. The sailors manage to
strip off their jeiseys, and in this way to let
the poor Gina fight with thegarment. Great
iB its astonishment when it finds the people
it has fallen among'ean get rid of their skin
at pleasure, and it envelops itself forthwith
intbe cast off garment. This does not las
long, and it begins its rounds over again
until it finds a new friend. It likes bread;
in fact, is very fend of it, and often prefer
it to fruit, which makes me hope that it will
survive the passage to France.”
