Since the caravel of Colon Grated first upon thy strand, Every thing about thee, Cuba, Shows tne iron Spanish band. Hear that crash of martial music!

Helpless men were coldly butchered 'Tis a part of Spanish fame. Wander now down to the Punta, Lay thy hand upon thy throat, Thou will see a Spanish emblem In the dark ana grim garrote. In the Moro in the market In the shadow in the sun Thou wilt see the bearded Spaniard Where a gold piece may be won. And now Santiago's story Gives the world a mighty shock : Strength and Vulcan bind their victim To the adamantine rock. And they fatten on thee, Cuba !

Aud our prayers to God uplift, That at last the flame celestial May come down to thee a gift ! Last Wednesday afternoon, at a meeting of the Board of Education, the report of the Special Commit tee on Salaries and Economy was J resented, discussed and adopted, t presents one or two very extra ordinary features. After fixing the maximum annual salary of the male principals of grammar schools at $3,000, of male vice-principals at $2,500, of male first assistants at $2,000, and of other male, assistants at $1,000, the report provides that the maximum salary of female principals shall be $2,000; of female vice-principals. $1,500; of female first assistants (if instructing classes of a particular grade), $1,000, and of other female assistants, an amount ranging from $500 to $800, Now this plan may be economical, but it is certainly not consonant with wisdom or humanity. It out rages common sense, we might say common decency. We defy any logic to prove that twe persons performing equal amounts of im portant work ought to be paid un equally because there happens to be between them a difference of sex. One of the beneficent, features of our glorious Christianity consists in the fact that, while it is radical in its theory of individual rights, it is just as conservative in its rela tion to society, sacredly honoring tht individuals' n the presence of society, and as sacredly honoring society in the presence of the indi vidual, and holding both responsi ble to the God of both. It so blends the two principal of liberty and order as to afford the best solution of the social probltm possible among men. It inspires men with the love of law and the love of right, and where it prevails and so Tar as it prevails it makes right and law equivalent terms. While it patronizes no wrong, upholds none, and apologises for none, it always lends the whole weight of its moral power to the support of law and teaches all its disciples to be con servative of public order under the authority of law. This one benefit of Christianity to the world, were there no other, is quite sufficient to entitle it to universal regard. N. I". Independent. Presidential Inauguration Days. The fourth ef March, 1877, the time of the next presidential inauguration, will occur on Sunday. In 1821 the fourth of March occur red on Sunday, James Monroe was lnauguratta Jtresiaent ror ms sett ona term on tne ioiiowing juonaay, March fifth. In 1849. Gentral Zachary Taylor was president elect, the fourth of March was Sunday, and he was inaugurated on Monday, the fifth. The Government was not affected by the interregnum, and the people.of the United States were wholly unconscious that they were without an executive head for twenty four hours. The difference John, when a bachelor, kept a lock of Mary's hair, but now that he in married, he keeps a lock of the canal. These plows are incontestibly the best made in America for all purposes of the Farms, and being most durable also, ARE THE CHEAPEST.

Having a practical experience of thirty years in preparing plans and building with all branches of Artisans and Mechanics, and used most of the material for painting, PATENT ENAMEL PAINT," owing to its portabilility, being mixed of all shades and quantities to suit. I applied it for inside and outside work and found it dried thoroughly covered the surface perfect and dried with a beautiful Enamel luster, and covered twenty square yards two coats. I have recommended its use to others in the city of Washington and lower Maryland, with equal satisfaction and good results.

THE rATLY GRAPHIC. All the News and full of Pictures. The Daily Graphic is the title of a newspaper, published in New York, whioh ia uphifirinc thfi most remarkable irmmalistin shpoass ever chronicled. It is an eight-page evening paper (three oriiHrmu HailvV filficantlv n rioted, and conducted by the ablest editorial talent attainable. As a newspaper the Daily Graphic stands in tne nrst ranK. ana contains regularly Xhe Very Latest and Fullest News from aU Parts of the World. Tts oreat feature consists in the fact that it is not onlv a newspaper, but an illustrated newspaper as well. Four of its pages are filled with choice reading matter telegrams, editorials, general and local news, items, eossip. ana cor resnondence on the freshest and most interesting topics. The remaining four pages consist of SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS, executed in the most faultless and ar tistic style, and portraying accurately and fully all leading events within twen ty four hours after their occurrence. Those who have, made journalism a study, and fully appreciate the great enterprise manifested in the collection and publication of news by the aid of the telegraph, steam presses, and the development of journalistic talent, have been fond of advancing the theory that the next advance in that field would re sult in a newspaper furnishing in its regular issues pictures of all current prominent events. That theory is a theory no longer ; the newspaper of the future is the newspaper of to-day, and that paper is the Daily Graphic. The processes which render this marvellous achievement an existing fact are tne re sult of the most careful study and an endless variety of experiments, gradu ally perfected during the past twelve years. They depend upon improve ments in lithography and the applica tion of the photographic camera. By their aid a picture is engraved and made ready to print in from twenty minutes to two hours. Costly and elaborate plates, works of arts, scenes of interest, are reproduced and pictured forth with equal facility, and. the mos scrupulous fidelity. Illustrations of leading events are engraved ana prepared ior tne press even betore the accompanying written narrative or description leaves the hands of the compositor.

A Capital of $500,000 in Gold, months and months before the first is sue of the Daily Graphic, the most extensive preparafions were made, and to-day THE GRAPHIC COMPANY has The Largest and Most Complete Newspaper Establishment in the United States.
