The Quakers of the Interior are throwing
aside some of their traditional ideas, are
going into revival work and receiving many
additions from the outside world. In some
cases they join heartily in the union revival
movements, and are rapidly swinging off
from their old isolation, and into line with
the progress of the times. OF course with
this will go the peculiar dress. and dialect, if
not other more distinctive pecularities of
the sect.

KIssING.-Kisses may bc divided into
two great classes-the kiss universal and
the kiss sentimental. The first variety is a
charming salutation common among ladies,
aud occurs generally upon any encounter
public or private, and is very violent at times
after an absence of-three or four DAYS.
There is no particular form to be observed
in these off-hand inoculations; it simply be-
ing required to "fire and fall back" But
the sentimental kiss Oh We Gods, how
shall we describe it {! 1t occurs at all times
and all seasons and seems to be never out
of place. Othello's farewell kisses, which,
tender and heart-broken as they were hav-
ing no power to bring poor dead Desdemon-
back to life, were the most truly sweet ana
touching. And there were the grand, pas
sionate kisses of Coriolanus-''lon as my
exile. sweet as my revenge." and sweet Ro-
meo's dying kiss in the vaults of the Capu-
lets. Under the head of sentimental may
be ranked the young lovers kisses, which
occur commonly by pale light in grot-
tos and shady retreats.

OFFICIAL ADvICEs FGoM CUBA. Secre-
tary Fish, some time ago, addressed COM
munication to the Consul at Havana,
ipstructing him to asce rtain from our con-
sular agents in other parts of the Island, and
from any other trustworthy sources, the
exact status and strength of the insurgent
party, and what is the chance of success.
Yesterday the Secretary received volum-
nous dispatches from Consul Plumb, who
states that it is almost impossible to arrive
at correct estimate of the force under the
Cuban leaders. The Consul incoses let
ter from a prominent American merchant
residing in the interior, who estimates the
who'll. Cuban army at from fifteen to twenty
thousand men. This includes detached
parties acting as guerrillas, as well as tie
regular force. \ letter inclosed by the
Consul from another American merchant
states that the entire effective force of Cuba
does not amount to more than fourteen hun
dred men. Regarding these two state
ments, tho Consul writes The truth prob
ably lies between the two extremes. | Go
not think the Cuban army amounts TO twcn-
ty-hve thousand men, but it is certainly
moro :lan fourteen hundred. - In another
part of his dispatch, Mr.. Plumb says:
"From all that eau be ascortained, there
is not Cuban lnau, woman OF child IN the is
land who does not sympathize with the Iusur-
rection-somo Of OF them more openly than
others, but thew are all animated with a bit.

hopeful sign Of th. Cuban cause. and If tlc
Insurgents arc able to hold out SIX months
longer, Spain will DE compelled to abandon
the attempt to subdue them.

of the opposers of the Portland AMI Og-

heretofore supposed the opposition was
mainly in another direction and we
shall be sorry to learn that Newport or

poses an enterprise which promises so
much for the development Of that county,
and. indeed. the whole Northern portion
of our state, as does the opening of the
Portland and Ogdensburg railroad. 1t
