A SPANISH ARMY OFFICER Turns HIGH-
wAYMAN.-An instance of highway robbery
occurred in Havana one evening the last
week in February, which may be chronicled
as one of the sensations of the week, although
it did not make half as much talk as Sun
day cock fight. A lieutenant of the regular
army presented his pistol to the breast of a
FIeDchman at about eleven o'clock at night,
and demanded his watch and money, OF his
life. The watch and money (some $40
were given, and the Frenchman took to his
heels, lodged around a corner and hid.
Presently the robber passed along, but was
stealthily followed by his watchful victim
into the vestibule OF the Tacon Theater,
where squad of soldiers were called upon to
arrest the lieutenant, who proved to be their
own superior officer"
Efforts we're made to shield him, but the
booty being found on his person, he was
sent to prison, the next day tried by court.
martial, and summsrily shot. During the
night of the culprit's incarceration, his at.
tentive friends sent him strychnine, arsenic
and other "quick speedy gear" but having
n natural repugnanoa to suicide, the heroic
assassin stood stubbornly upon his dignity
and valiantly Eindicated the majesty o.
military discipline in its enforcement Of
criminal law. ...-

TIE FRIGDITY OF GENERAL TwIGGs's Re-
CEPTIoN IN NEW ORLEANs.-The New Or-
leans correspondent of the New York TFi6-
une says of General Twiggs's reception;
Numerically, the affair was eminently sue
cessful; but, in spite of the assertions of the
local journals to the contrary, the attempt to
awaken popular enthusiasm was a signal
failure. The lockers on syinced gratihca-
tion and pride at the military display, as
well they might, for the soldiers are gallant
looking fellows, and went through their
evolutions admirably. As Twiggs passed,
there were few huzzas, some hats were
moved, and some handkerchieiS auttered in
the balconies; but except at the st. Charles
Hotel, which is now filled with the dele
gates TO and attendants upon tho State Con-
ventioD, and in the immediate vicinity of
the speaking heard no hearty cheering
whatever. twas the most frigid welcome
ever saw given. All that had been said
about Southern rights, and Fidelity to the
land of his birth, failed to bring out that
earnest, contagious enthusiasm which the
reception of a man who is loved and hon.
ored stirs in the popular heart. If the lead
ers don't know what line of conduct is hon
orable in a military commander, toward the
Government to which he has sworn allegi-
ance, the people evidently do.

"HARDoRs OF REFUGE ON THE ENGLISH
COSTA subject just now prominently
presented in London newspapers is the crea-
lion of "harbors of refuge" along the En-
glish coast at the most dangerous points, dis
cussion in reference to this topic having been
suggested by the friehtful loss of life aud
property in the gale of the 9th ult. A mem-
ber of Parliament in giving the details of
recent disasters, said:
"At Hull seven vessels with their crews
were lost, and forty went on shore in sight
of the haIbor. At Whitby six went on
shore-the crews Of four were lost, and those
who were saved owed their lives to the gall
liant services of the life-boat crews. He re-
gIetted to have to add that, after many sue.
cessful trips, the life. boat went down with
its gallant crew. At Hartlepool sixty-fve
vessels were lost in five hours within the
bay; thirty were total losses eight fOun-
deIed, with every soul on board, in sight OF
the people on the shore. In that gale fifty
lives were lost, and fl50,000 of property
was destroyed. At Shields five vessels were
wrecked in sight of the new pier, and
eleven more on the shore close at hand. On
February IL list of l39 ships lost was posted
at Lloyd's. being the greatest number ever
known in a single day"
Lord Palmerston stated that Government
proposed to make provision for tie improve
ment Of existing harbors. Upward Of ], 600
lives and 81, 100000 of property are lost on
the English coast every year.

A FEMININE HERO IN TExAs-A Party of
Indians Put 10 Flight By Woman.-We
CLEAN the following account of female hero
ism from the Wetherford (Texas) NetOs;
The party of Indians who passed through
Jack Parker and Palo Pinto Counties last
week, marking their way with desolation,
and striking terror to the stoutest hearts,
drew up in front of the residence of Mr..
Eubanks, in Palo Pinto County, and were
holding parley, and no doubt forming a
plan to attack the house. There was not a
man on the premises at the time. Mrs.
Eubanks, her daughter and several little
children were alone.
The yard was inclosed with pickets about
six feet high. Miss Mary Eubank, the
daughter, with unequaled presence of mind,
for one so young, seized shotgun, put on
her brothers hat and placed bench near
the picketing so as to peep over without ex-
posing her body, aud then deliberately fired
at the party, which stratagem and heroic
conduct doubtless saved her own life and the
lives of her mother and little brothers and
sisters, as the cowardly scamps Immediately
fled, no doubt believing the house was de-
Tended by body ofarmed men.

EXTRAORDINARY ENDURANCE OF A Fowl
In the great snoW-storm Of January l6, on
the farm of Samuel Shaw, in Portsmouth,
Mass, large white Shanghai hen wan
dered from the barn into the yard and
unable to get in again, was covered up by
the snow, and buried more than a foot be
meath its surface. She was missed the same
afternoon, but as nothing could be found of
her. poor Shanghai was given up as perished
in the storm. Nothing was seen of her
until, on the 18th of February, Just four
weeks after her disappearance, the warm
weather had thawed the snow to her resting
place, and unAided she stepped out of her
place of captivity, and walked back TO the
barn. She weighed about five pounds when
buried, but less than two when thawed out.
She has good appetite, and is fast regain
ing her flesh. While on the cold Friday,
which occurred in the time, some fowls ia
the barn had their combs frozen, Shanghai,
beneath the snow, escaped being frost-bitten,

BOLD ATTEMPT TO CARRY OFF HAYr1EEs
FOR THE SLAVE MARIETTA letter from Hayti
says:
The courts have a curious case on the
docket. A few days since a vessel, sailing
under the American flag-but, to American
honor be it said, commanded by French
man, and manned by a crew Of Spanish and
Italian sailors-came into this harbor with O
clearance from South American port but
really from New Orleans.
The captain said that he wished to employ
some sixty OF eighty laborers to work a
guano bank on one of the Gulf Islands, and
as he offered very liberal wages, he soon sue
ceeded in securing the required number of
men, and was nearly ready to sail, when the
conscience of one Of his crew smote him to
that degree that he divulged the nefarious
scheme of his captain, which was to take his
poor deluded victims into some one of the
many Cuban ports, and there dispose of them
to the planters as slaves. This, Of course,
caused the captains arrest and he was taken
and placed in prison, and to-day he will
have hearing before the courts.

WILLIAM PITT's DEBAUCHERY.-William
Pitt, virtual ruler of England from 1888 to
his death, in 1906, suffered greatly from he.
reditary gont, to which his father, Lord
Chatham, was victim for the last twenty
years OF his life but, though his physicians
warned him that death was in the glass he
INDUCED freely-at times even immoder-
ately-in port wine, of which, previous to an
important debate, he would swallow several
hotties, to relieve himself from the languor
produced by extreme mental and bodily ex-
eItioD. AT length wine ceased to excite him
sufficiently, and he had recourse to lau-
danum, OF which he sometimes took 200 drops
at a time.
Pitt nearly lost his life, at one time, in q
drunken frolic. One night, toll.bar, keeper,
on the road between Croydon and Wimble-
don, was aroused from his slumbers by the
rapid approach of three hOrsemen, who gal
loped through, the gate being open, without
pausing to pay the toll. l.E
Having frequently been choused Ito use
the worthy's own wordsl by persons play
ing the same bilking trick, and several
robberies having lately taken place in that
neighborhood, the gatekeeper fired OFF his
blunderbuss at the horsemen, but without
effect. Next day, when a servant called to pay
the toll, the man discovered that the eques-
trian triumvirate consisted Of William Pitt,
Lord Thurlow and Harry Dundas-Prime
Minister, Lord Chancellor, and Treasurer of
the Navy-Who had dined with Mr.. Jenkin-
son, aflerward Earl of Liverpool, at Croydon,
and were returning, fully charged with wine,
to Mr.. Pitts house. at Wimbledon. ....

STRANGE SUPERSTITION AND HORRIBLE
TRAGEDY.-A farmer in the neighborhood of
Oulla, District Of Csstellon, Province of Va
lencia, was, some years ago, attacked with
vertigo and pains in the head, which returned
regularly at intervals of month. His wife
and daughters did all they could to relieve
him, but in vain. At last pretended sor-
eerer who called at the house made the wo-
man believe that the man was possessed by a
devil, and that he would never be well as
long as the fiend lived.
Accordingly, a few nights after, she and
her three daughters, who shared her belief
attacked the man with hatehets, as he was
in bed asleep, and did not leave off until he
was not only dead, but literally cut TO pieces.
The next morning the woman went to the
parish priest, and related that she and her
girls had killed the demon who had so long
afflicted her husband. The woman, the
daughters and 'the sorcerer were arrested
The Indignation of the people against the
latter was SO great that il was with difficulty
they were prevented from killing him.
