CUBAN MATTERS. following pa
pers will be read with interest, as show
ing the spirit Of the Cuban revolution
lists. These are pronunciamentos of
General Jordan and others:
|. = - BAaAJAaUA, June 90, ,lor9.
CUBANs: When decided to coma to
your country, in order to assist you in
conquering the tyranny of the Spanish
Government that has SO long oppressed
you, took the supreme resolution to
die With you, should fate decree that you
were to be -yapquished by that enemy,
now tho only power in our America that
is fighting for ehe maintenance of des-
potism and tyranny. Favored with the
command of the Eastern State by the
General-in-C Chief, will endeavor to dis
charge that honorable charge if YOU will
assist me by your valor and decision,
already SO well-known, and if your
worthy chiefs will cooperate, we will
soon be on the road to victory. The
sympathies inspired for your cause with
the people of North America are great.
L can assure you that I am but the fore
runner of other generals of that nation
who will come, accompanied by thou
sands OF soldiers, whose only wish is to
w no Jouh oIuo uua W puILlClphtt III your
perils and glories. It is with deep feel
ings of pain that loarn that many, mis-
led by false representations. are far from
us with the enemy. May they repent i'll
time and return to my side, where. by
shedding their blood in the defence Of
their country, they may yet bequcath an
honorable name to their children. If
they do not act thus, they will be the
victims to their short-sightedness, for
the liberty of Cuba is now an accom-
plished fact. Yes, Cubans, the people
of the United States are uecidcd to como
in numbers to break your fetters. You
will soon see the coasts surrounded by
American vessels, bringing thousands of
valorous men resolved to drive the last
soldier or partisan of the Spanish Co
vernmcnt from this beautiful country.
Cubans, confde in me-, as I contide in
you. Let US hasten to fight the enemies
of your growing liberty, and your efforts
will avail. Fiun Cuba! IIra NIL free
men! THOMAS JORDAN,
General-inC nChief.

TINE FOR MArR1MoSY.- the
ancient Germans, than whom u finer
race never existed, it was death for any
woman to marry before she was twenty
years old. By the laws of Lycurgns, the
most special attention was paid to the
physical education, and no delicate or
sickly women were, on any account,
allowed to marry. DR.. Johnston, in his
work Of ECONOMY of HEALTH" says
that matrimony should not be contracted
until the first year of the fourth septen-
nial on the part of the lady, nor before
the last year of the same in the case of
the gentleman. In other words, the fc-
male should be at least twenty-one years
Of age, and the male twenty eight years.
The doctor says there should be differ
ence of seven years between tho sexes,
at whatever period of life the connection
is contracted. There is difference of
seven years, not in tho actual duration
of life i'll the two seAes, but in the stami-
ma of the constitution, the symmetry of
the form and lineaments of the face. In
respect to early marriage, SO far MS it
concerns the softer sex, for every year al
which marriage is entered upon before
the age of twenty. one, there will he, on
an average, three years of premature de-
cay, more or less apparent, of the corpo-
raj fabric.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE on TIE SITCA-
TIoN.-Tbe New York Ile7'ulI comment
ing upon the reported fact that the Chief
Justice has written letter on the South
ern political situation, says the fact
shows there is IL tower of political
strength in Mr.. Chase's name. It says
He has not hesitated to say that uni
yersal amnesty should go with universal
suffrage, that the disabilities of the
Southerners should be removed, and that
the wounds of our civil war should be
promptly healed. No man, perhaps,
has had better opportunity or is more
capable of forming IL correct opinion Of
the present condition of the South AMI
the temper of the people. He has been
great deal in that section of the coun-
try since the war, and his judicial circuit
extending over n considerable portion of
it, he has necessarily become we'll in
formed of matters there. The conclu-
sion he has come to, then, that universal
amnesty should be granted and tho
wounds of the war healed for the good of
the whole country rs well for that of the
Southerners themselves, ought to have
weight both with the administration and
Congress. There is no doubt the senti-
ment of the people is with him. They
do not want to see the Southern States
remain unrestored, disorganizcd, and
under military rule for the purpose of
helping any political party. On this
subject Chief Justice Chase shows that
he is statesman of broad and liberal
views, and there is no reason to conclude
because he entertains them, or has even
expressed them, that he has taken such
conservative ground for the purpose of
reaching the Presidency or to interfere
in political matters

SHOCKING TRAGEDY IN MONROE. "A
young lady, named Mary Cunningham,
aged about twentythree years. daugh-
ter of widow lady, and most reputably
connected, died from poison on Sunday
night, in the town of Monroe, under
very distressing and somewhat myste-
rious circumstances. The young lady
had borne Il good character until re-
Gently, when letters were found reveal
ing HuiSon of long standing with n
young man in the town, whose name
we have forgotten. These letters were
written by her to him, and gave, with
disgusting particularly, the details of
an abortion which she had procured on
herself, and i'll which she hoasted that
she fooled everybody, even her mother
and the doctor. The existence of these
letters caused much comment, and it was
expected that they, with other evidence,
would be placed before the grand jury,
and that the young lady would be in
dictcd for the shocking crime. She OK
pressed q determination to commit sui
eide before she would go before the
Court. The mother also is said to have
declared her desire that she should die
before making such a disgraccful ex-
posure. The letters were pronounced
forgeries, and the innocence of the young
lady was asserted in the most solemn
manner by her and her mother 1t is
proper to say that the physician who
attended her at the time of her alleged
abortion, and at the time of her death,
has conclusive evidence that the charges
We're trne and the letters genuine. On
Sunday night. about midnight, her
mother raised the alarm that her
daughter was very ill., and when DIR.
Young arrived she was in dying con-
dition. \ cup containing strychninc was
found on the table, with the dregs of n
cup Of cotlee. She died in few mo-

opened the regular sessions of the Prus-
sian Diet with pacific speech. He
said the deficit in the national finances
was unavoidable and augmentation of
the taxes would be necessary. He an
nounced several reforms for the Eastern
Provinces, the most important of which
were a new educational law and meas
ures looking mere to local self-gOvern
ment. He hoped his future policy to
preserve peaceful relations with other

past, and he should still strive to pre-
serve the friendly relations with all the
world, and aim at the development of
the resources of the country and the
maintenance of the dignity and indie
