CIJRA IN 1902

The diversions of the inhabitants of the
Havana are fewer than those of most cities
of the United States and this fact may in
some degree be ascribed to the nature Of
the government, rs well as to the state of
society. The sceneso of dissipation are much
fewer than those which New York, Phila-
delphia or Boston furnish. Cuba has no
drunkurds; and when an evil of such mag
nitude is taken away, society in one point
has lost curse.
The most prominent exhibition for and
of the ladies of Havana, is to be found in a
ride OF about three-quarters of mile in
length, running parallel with the wall OF
the city, which separates it from the sub
urbs. 1t is called the pdseO, literally tCalk.
1t is smooth, level road, kept in the most
perfect order, for the sole object of display
ing Cuban bellies and beauty. On each side
of it are two walks for the spectators, each
shaded by double row of trees, such as
oranges, lines, cocoa nuts, &c. planted with
the most perfect regularity. To separate
the walk from the road is a small stone wall
about two and half feet high, and one foot
in thickness. In the eye of Cuban, there
is nothing like the pazco. "The pazeo
the pazeo, have you seen the pazeo ?" is
the question which foreigner must answer

Remarks on the Injuries resulting from con-
tinement of the chest by dress by N. r..

know not which would appear the most
ridiculous in the eyes of the other, the
wasp-waisted lady of our own country, or
the Chinese belle, with foot no bigger
than Mandarin's thnmh nor do know
which would most offend the unsophisticat-
ed eye of nature but this know, that the
deiormity of the latter is unimportant in
regard to health, while that of the former
is acquired at the expense of uital organs,
which may not be encroached upon with
impunity. 1t is fact, although perhaps
not generally observed, that in females, by
peculiarly of mechanism, the whole struc-
ture of the chest is more elastic and mo-
bile, and that the free motions Of the chest
in relation to the function of respiration,
are more important than they are in males.
From this observation it follows that any
article ofdress which constricts in any con-
siderable degree the chest, must be in
finitely more productive of mischief to the
female than to the male. Females are ex-
ceedingly incredulous in regard to the in
juries resulting from incarceration of the
CneSt, because tne COESel, dlLer having
been worn for a considerable time, not on
ly ceases. to give any sensible inconve-
nience, but seems necessary to their com.
fort as support to the body. This, how.
ever, only renders the mischief insidious.
We very well know. that by habit tn,

traint as to become unconscious of its pres

rious effects sooner or later, result. AL

The late designations in the British Cab
met have called into action the talents of
the wits OF London, who are by no means
sparing of their shafts. One of the best
articles we have seen, is the annexed from
the London Morning Chronicle, which viii
be enjoyed by our readers, particularly
those who are acquainted with the charac-
tiers of the satirised individuals.
DREADFUL SuIcIDE-CoRoNER's In
QUEST. An inquest was held last week on
the bodies of the six unhappy Gentlemen,
whose rash act had been the subject of
wonder and surprise for days past The
jury assembled at the sign of The hand IN
Pocket, IN Westminster, and Mr.. ]. Bull
presided as Coroner. The bad odour from
the subjects was intolerable, and notwith-
standing the affecting nature of the spec
taele, more handkerchiefs were applied to
noses than to the eyes.
The first body viewed by the Jury was
that of Lord Eldon. 1t bore striking
marks of decay, and the surprise is that
nature had not dismissed to its home, long
before the fatal deed Of violence was com
mitted. Nothing remained of the heart
but mere sack, or bag of leather, resera-
bling purse; the liver was of singular
whiteEass the head discovered indications
of its having been long past service, but
the hands seemed to have retained their
faculty of grasping in extraordinary per-
lection to the last. Indeed all persons
thought it singular that man should have
perishe,i by fall who was so remarkable
for thetenacty of his hold.
The first witness examined was his
Lordship's factotam, Mr.. II.
a Jaroi: Do you recognize that body,
Mr.. H.
Mr.. H.: Yes, Gentlemen, bursting into
tears) these are the remains of the defunct
| Chancellor.
Juror: Can you give US ony information
how the departed Minister came to his end |?
Mr.. H.: Alack, alack, thatI should have
to tell the tae he jumped out of his office
window on the evening of the 18th of May.
/ Juror: Had you observed any thing ex-
traordinary in his manner-aRy symptoms
of despondGacy or distress of mind.
Mr. H.: Not in particular, Gentlemen.
i Nv Lord vas always in great distress
about money, for he could not get as much
as he wished for, poor gentleman, and often
talked of coming to want, but he was not
worse i'll this way Immediately before his
demise than Formerly.
Juror: Didae never speak of resigning ?
\ Mr.. H.: Yes, he certainly did, very FREE
quentIy: but Lord bless me, gentlemen,
always thought he was resigned to his Of
fee.
! Juror Hoy do you account then for his
Jumping out Of the window!
Mr.. H.: Why my lord used often to say,
that when llterality came in at the door, it
was time ir orthodoxy to fly out of the
window; and rs he could never abide Mr..
Canning, hehad notion that if he in his
wig robes, together with half dozen
, more, were secn jumping out Of the win

met stairs, ne neighbors would suppose
that the Stah-house was on fire--in short
; that the void was at an end--apd thai

IMPROVEMENT IN HYDRAuL1Cs. A Mr.
John nj. Cooper, from Guildhall, vt. ana

than year past, been improving new

in diameter, and of cylindrical FORM
The machine is operated by means of a
crank attached to a gudgeon upon each
end of it. The power applied to the ma
chine was four men, who were able to
throw continued column of water, three
fourths of an inch in diameter, one hun

and more than ninety feet high. This ma
chine is entirely different from any thing

most wonderful, ut each revolution, it takes
in and throws out more cubic inches Of wa
