"SELLINc" rHE CAPTAIN GENERAL
OF CUBA.-The Detroit Free Press states
that Major Kelly, one of the ''cutest'' of
the Cuban patriots, taken in arms in the
late invasion Of the island, determined to
make his way out of prison son his own
hook" and by the exercise of his own
wits. He wrote divers off-hand familiar
letters, to numerous eminent politicians
OF the United States, and placing them
where he knew they would be overhauled
by the Spanish police. The bait took,
and Major Kelly, the intimate friend of
Mr.. Secretary Webster, was forthwith
released and sent home. The Majors

DAN, OLD Bor,-You will be surprised
l doubt not, on receiving letter from an
old friend, and one whom YOU have so
often befriended, from this place; but, as
the old lady said, when she cracked her
teapot, what's did, is did, and what's the
use OF kicking up deuced fuss general
y about it9 When, in September, of
last year, | partook of your chowder, in
Marshfeld, | little anticipated that
should be placed to day in my present
position. But, It's all destiny. Who
can tell to-day what is going to befall him
tomorrow? Had taken your advice,
and accepted the mission to the Barbary
States, things would have been better.
l, at least, would not be so barbarously
treated as l am in this prison, where they
have not left the first sign on my head or
face, of hair or whiskers. Concha, I am
inclined to think, is on the whole, good
fellow, and l think if you were to whis-
per word to the Spanish Minister in
Washington, Calderon de Ia Barca, in nv
favor, there may be still hopes of my re-
lease. Remember me to our mutual
friend, the Hon. C. NJ. Conrad, Secretary
of War.
Yours, as ever,

How TO KEEP DRY.-Dow, Jr., SAYS ::
"To keep dry, always wear an oil-cloth
coat, carry good umbrella, and practice
rum-drinking. The first two articles are
only essential in protecting the outside
from superabundant moisture, but the lat
ter keeps the inside as dry as a stovepipe
l never knew drinker, but he was eter-
nally dry, and keeps himself dry through
the day. 1t is not to be wondered at, for
now can he be otherwise than dry when
ne keeps the blue blaze eternally burning
IN MS bosom by pouring distilled destruc-
ton down his throat forever. In fact NV
friends, the more he drinks. the drxer hs
grows: On his death-bed he cries for
more drink for the last time, and then be
goes out Of the world as thirsty as r. ho
had lived on Goldfish all the DAYS of h ne
life. VI iiiS

BOOKER will be reduced from five dollars
20 THREE DOLLARS, on and after the first
day of inuary next.
The change is made for reaso precise.
ly the reverse of that which ordinarily in
Magazine. This is usually done because
the publication cannot be sustained at its
original rate, which is consequently reduced
with the hope of extending its circulation.
This is followed invariably by deteriora
ton of the work, in all its departments,
and in everything relating to it. Indeed
itmay be laid down as a rule, in the con-
Quoting of Magazine, that if the original
price will not re,nunerate for its publica-
ton, it is only going from bad to worse to
to reduce that price.
The Kmickerboe ker at the present time
enjoys larger subscription list, and pays
better, than it ever did before; and of the
twenty years Of its existence, the past year
has been the most prosperous.
The Publisher is now in a situation, in
consequence of the condition of the Mag
azine, to offer it at THREE DOLLARS per
annum.
With this reduction there will be no
change in its form, size, chara cter or quail
ity, except a chsnge always confined for
THE BETTER; for it will improve on the past
maintaining the position so long awa.ded
to It.
TERMS: THREE DOLLARS a year,
strictly in advance; there will be no de-
Walton from this condition.
To Clubs of Ten, $3.50 each.
Booksellers and Postmasters are reques-
ted 10 act as agents. Those who will un-
dertake to procure subscribers will receive
favorable terms. Specimen numbers will
be sent gratis on application postpaid.

nications must be addressed to Samuel

GRAEFENBERG CHILDREN'S PANACEA.

FsAs
A most strange and incredible fact meets MS at
the very threshold of our remarks on this valuable
medicine. II is this: that no medicine prepared
adapted to the various diseases of children and
youth has ever been off red to he public, while at
he same time ii is estab lishcd by The most occu-
rate tables OF mortality thai II Of the human
family die before hing the age cf five yens.
We should suppose that TO this gteat class of hu-
man sniferers-thiS Cnc-half of the racc-the most
anxious and earnest attention would have been
gwen; that medical skill would ha f., been tasked
10 is utmost capacity to find out a medicine 10
which mothers and muses. might resort under tho
constantly recurring necessities which present
themselves in this connection. The world IS lii.
orally crowded with m defines for adults, but TO
the suileringS Of childicn no one has seemed te
turn proper attention. No ore has REGARDED ,tci,

that the ravages of disease and dea III among Them
might be stage 1t is true that there are numcr-
Gus Vcrmiluges and Coriials Of some value but
each OF these are confined exclusively TO one or
two forms of disease. The Graeienbcrg Child,en's

POETRY.


from Mr.. stark's Poem, read at the late Man
chester, n. H., Fair.
The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair;
She's clad In her silks and satins,
And jewels are in her hair
She winks and gigsles and shippers,
And shippers and giggles and winks,
And though she talks but little,
It's vastly more than she thinks.
Tier father goes clad In his russell.
And ragged and seedy at that
His coats are all out at the elbow,
Es wears Q most shocking bad hat;
He's boarding and saving his shillings,
So carefully day by day,
While she on her beaux and poodlss,
u throwing them all away.
She lies a-bcd in the morning,
Till nearly the hour Of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snarling,
Because she was called so soon;
Her hair Is still In the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbed with paint
hculoltiS OI ucI last nigHt DiuSucs1
Before she intended to faint.
She doats upon men unshaven,
And men with s'the flowing hair"
she's eloquent over moustaches,
They give such a foreign air.
She talks Of Italian music,
And falls In love with the moon,
And though but mouse should meet her,
She sinks away in swoon.
Her feet are SO very little,
Her hands are SO very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,
And her head SO very light.
Her color Is made Of cosmetics,
Though this she will never own,
Her body's made mostly Of cotton,
Her heart IL made wholly Of stone.
She falls In love with a fellow,
Who swells with q foreign air,
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair;
One Of the very best mathes-
Both are well mated for life,
She's got fool for husband,
He's got fool for wife.
