MOVEMENTS OF THE PAMpERo.-The follow
ing particulars in relation to Cuban matters
were received upon the arrival Of the steamship
Florida yesterday afternoon, through the me-
dunn Of Mr.. Culver, the Purser of that vessel,
whose gentlemanly demeanor and polite atten-
tons are proverbial.
At about two o'clock p. m. of Saturday, 22d
instant, the steamer st. Matthew, arrived al
Savannah from Pilatka, Florida, reported that
on the morning of the same day the steamer
Pampero was in Dolby Sound, where she had
just arrived for the purpose Of taking on board
recruits that were then waiting at different
points in the vicinity and ready to embark.
Thence it was expected she would go to Mont
gomery-where she would arrive in the evening
of the same day--a small place about twelve
miles in the interior and ten or twelve distant
from Savannah, although she reported herself
as bound to Tybee. To this latter place ves-
sci had been despatched in pursuit Of her, but
it was probable the sequel would show that she
had been chasing an ignis fatuus, or a ghost or
something quite different from Pampero.
Some ten or twelve passengers per the st.
Matthew came on in the Florida to this city, all
of whom furnished the Purser with the above

The NEXT News FROM CUBA.-The Philadel-
phia Bulletin Of yesterday evening says, that
there will probably be no steamer from Havana
before the 4th or 9th Of September, when the
Empire City may be expected at New York
from New Orleans, touching at Havana, where
she will take from the Falcon the California
mails of August first The steamship Isabel,
the Charleston and Havana packet is now laid
up for repairs, so that no news is to be expected
from that quarter. 1t is probable, however,
that we shall have some news in few days by
sailing vessel ut some one or other Of our
various seaports

HOUSE, SERVANTS are always in demand in
Washington. We have now very large free
negro population, in general idle, profigate,
dishonest, lazy and thriftless. Able, somehow,
to live without work, they are Indifferent about
going into service, make their own bargains,
and keep them in their own way. Competition
with them also Injuries the white servants low
ers their just pride and renders them careless Of
reputation. It has been suggested, as a means
Of correcting the evil, that all persons requiring
domestic "helps" should agree to receive no
one without certificate from the last employer
but We do not think this would effect much
good. Our country is very free, and people
win do as they please; and, besides, the ser
wants Of one year are not unfrequently thu
masters and mistresses Of the next. We think
the most that can be done--and it ought to be
done-is to canse the laws relating TO Migrants
ana psupers to be rigidly enforced. All persons
living without visible means Of support, male
and female, should be attended to- by the no.
Ice. There are whole neighborhoods about The
city that should be overloaded monthly - Is.st
The welfare Of the community At large would
thus b promoted, and many cases Of ind;y;dusl

NURSES are sometimes kind and careful; but
not always. We often wonder ut the indiffer-
ence of parents in entrusting their children to
the care of stupid or negligent nurses for hours
at time They very often abuse them, OF
neglect them in pursuit of their own pleasure.
We yesterday noticed an instance Of the kind.
The little thing had grown drowsy in its little
carriage; its head sank down to one side, and
at every moment struck against the high
wheels now attached to the new two-wheeled We
hicles. But the nurse, who was no doubt deaf,
pulled away, and went along, regardless of the
perils of the little one, and of its oft-repeated
cries. The children of the poor-when not too
poor-are often happily off in the enjoyment of
the constant personal care Of their own parents.
The wealthy should perform as q duty what
these do from necessity. Again, the prayer Of
Agur-" NEITHER Poverty NOR RICHES"

As noticed in my letter Of yesterday, the
packet-boat Fashion arrived here at o'clock,
p. m, making the passage from Cumberland in
forty-six hours. She had on board large
number of passengers, and one could easily read
from their countenances that the trip had been
pleasant one 80 totally different from the
appearance Of travellers on the railroad, having
their eyes filled with the cinders that float
around the cars, their limbs cramped from q
sitting position, and their skin dry and husky,
feeling, as they look, jaded and discontented.
There is slight correction to my letter as
published in yesterdays paper; there being
only thirty, instead of three hundred persons
engaged on Mr.. Berry's wharf.

CADlz, MoHudy, cuty 20, 1901.
yesterday, Notwithstanding my repugnance
to bull-fghts, it was impossible to resist the re-
peated urging of Mr.. G., n gentleman to
whom am particularly indebted for many civil
tiles, to accompany him to one of these specta-
cles. Many thousands were present at the vast
amphitheatre of the square. Eight bulls entered
the ring, and twenty-four horses were killed.
One of the horsemen was severely gored, and
two of those whose Office it is to goad the ami
mails to phrenzy, were badly bruised, and one
barely escaped having his neck broken. The
exposure and escape gave rise to rapturous ap-
plaudings. Even while write, my imagination
paints the poor horses with their entrails pro-
truding, and still further drawn out by tramp
ling upon them with their own feet; their
eyes bandaged to prevent them from recoiling
from their ferocious enemy, and continuing to
be gored till life was no longer. Such scenes
as this cause me to realize in what country
am; and still more when / see present we'll

OCCUPATION OF WASHINGTON BY THE BRITISH.
Thirty years ago, on Monday last, says
the New York Star, the British army, under
General Ross, made an incursion from the
Chesapeake, and took possession of Washington
city. The troops burned not only the Capitol,
which at that time was in an unfinished state,
but its extensive library, records, and other
collections, appertaining not to war, but to
peace and civilization. The Presidents House
and the public Offices were reduced to ashes.
These were rebuilt shortly after the conclusion
of peace. The enemy, however, did not long
remain in possession. General Ross and his
army met with repulse on the 18th Of Sep
TENDER, at North Point, near Baltimore, and he
was killed with others in skirmish
