Cuba,

Advices from Cuba, received in Washington,
present the cause of the insurreclionists in a
very Hattering light. The Spanish reinforce
meDts have not yet arrived, aud If the insur-
gents can hold their own until spring the yellow
lever will be more effective than powder and
bullets. The patriots do not favor annexation,
but seem to desire republic, to consist OF
Cuba, Porto Rico, and San Domingo, which
shall control the countries OF the Caribbean Sea.
They promise TO abolish slavery, and make a
thorough republic ii they succeed. Agents of
the insurgents are now here, seek ng aid for
their people.-N Y. Tribune.

the fund as proposed would at once
increase the expense and lessen the
efficiency of our common school
system, necessitating the employ
ment of two teachers or more where
before only one was necessary.
Any division of the funds be-
tween Catholics and P1otestants, in
the ratio of population, would be
manifestly unfair, as the Protestants
pay ten times the tax, in proportion
to their numbers, that the Catholics
do. This proposition to tax Pro
testants for the support of Catholic
schools, where the Catholic religion
is taught, and the attendants are
instructed to look upon the people
who pay for their education as
heretics, is one of the coolest affairs
on record. Those who support it
are stopped from any further com
plant against the injustice of taxing
Irish Catholics for the support of
the Protestant Episcopal church OF
Ireland.

In breaking the bread he dropped
some crumbs into the water. These
were eagerly seized and eaten by tho
fish. That circumstance suggested
to the negro the idea of dipping the
bread into the whisky and feeding
them. He tried it. Itworked we'll.
Some of the fish ate of it, became
drunk and floated helplessly On the
surface. In this way he easily
caught large number. But in tile
stream was larger fish very unlike
the rest. It partook freely of the
bread and whisky, with no percepti.
BILE effect. 1t was shy of every eff
ort of the negro to take it. He re-
solved to have it at all hazards, that
he might learn its name and nature.
He procured a net, and after much
effort caught it, carried it to a col
ored neighbor, and asked his opin-
ion of the matter. The other sur
veyed the wonder moment, and
then said: 'Sambo, I understand
dis case. Dis fish is a mullet head;
it amt got no brain!' In other
words, added the Judge, "alcohoI
affects only the brains, and of course
those having none may drink with
out injury"
The storm Of laughter which fol-
lowed drove the moderate drinker

Moral suasion for the man who drinks,
Mental suasion for the man who thinks,
Legal 81 aston for the drunk ard maEer,
Prison suasion for the statute breaker,
G. w. BUNGAY.
The boy came in drunk. 1t was
the first time. Often before had he
taken his s'bitters," when hurrying
down his lunch at the eating house
near the store; but this was the first
time he had been sensibly overcome
by any strong drink His father
had brandy and wine in the closet,
never on the table, always under
lock and key-never supposing that
the boy had key, too, to the same
closet. Boys are pretty sharp
sharper than some excellent fathers
suppose. The fable of the old crab
who told the young crab that he
ought to go straight instead of side
wise, and who met the response from
crab junior, ''why do you go side
wise yourself?" has it's echo in the
household life of many father and
son to-day. 1t was the case in this
instance. The good old man want
ed the boy to do we'll. He did his
best to conce.:l from him and the
rest of the family his own appetite
for strong drink. He would not
openly and willingly have set him a
bad example; but when the paternal
tongue moves thickly, the paternal
eyes blink and grow bloodshot, and
the paternal nose becomes rubicund,
there is no lock SO strong, no key
so complicated as to shut the secret
from the family and from the world.
Tom not only knew that his father
drank, but he drank from his father S
bottles.
It was bright September after
noon. Tom had been playing base
ball with some of his friends; or
r her, he had been trying to play !;
for there was an unsteadiness about
his gait, and a wildness in his eye,
which made it as probable that he
would hit somebody in the head
with the ball as that he woulh send
it as balls ought to be sent. He
was excused, and his place filed by
somebody else. Feeling badly, he
wanted to lie down on the grass
but couple of kind friends perceiv-
ed what was the matter with him,
and thought he had better go home
while he was at least partially able
to work his own passage. "Come,
Tom, we will go home with you.
Stand up like a man, old fellow.
Here's an arm on each side of you.

Lively Times in Tennessee.

A split has taken place in the Re.
publican ranks in Tennessee, and
there is great danger that the bitter
feud commenced will end in serious
damage to the party. The contest
is over the nomination for Cover
nor, but there are principles in
volved as well as personal predilec-
tions. Senter, the present acting
Governor, and candidate for cleo
ton, declares in favor Of postpon-
ing the enfranchisement of the late
rebels to day in the distant future.
Stokes would allow the enfranchise-
ment of those ex rebels who stayed
at home and behaved themselves.
Senter carries with him, Of course,
all the violent element of the Re-
publican party, and Tennessee Re
publicanism, like Tennessee De-
mocracy, is Generally Of the un-
compromising kind, the hates of
Tennessee politicians being usually
stronger than their loves. Stokes
is supported by the moderate Re
publicans and obtains the moral
assistance of the disfranchised ele-
ment, whatever that may be worth.
The scenes at the opening of the
State Convention on Friday are in
dicative of the result of the State.
When the doors were opened there
was rush of the leading wirepullers
Of both factions of the chair. Both
sides claimed possession, both chair
men called the Convention to order,
and the double headed meeting was
at once precipitated into wrangling
confusion. Business was impossi-
BILE. Speeches ofan angry charac-
ter were made simultaneously by
spouters of both factions, amid a
hubbub of cheers, ellis, and Kisses
and after carrying on this Babel of
confusion for upwards of three hours
the Convention adjourned sine die,
without having even elected tenn
porary chairman.
| OF course the result was the cali
ing two Conventions, the prospec-
tive running of two Republican
tickets in the coming canvass and
the bitterest political war yet waged
in Tennessee, for family fight is
always the fercest and ugliest of
quarrels. If Andrew Johnson
should take q hand in as Democratic
candidate, as has been intimated,
it will make confusion worse con-
founded, and Tennessee will be the
livliest bear garden on the face of
| the earth.

BEEcHER ON BoREs.-Few of tb,

BEEcHER ON BoREs.-Few of the
great preachers of the country are
so felicitous in illustrating their
subjects with appropriate anecdotes
as the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
And, like all men of genuine humor,
he has the knack to say very dron
things with face of the most i'm
passive gravity. At the National
Christian Convention held last year
in this city he was called upon to
address that body on sHow to Con-
duct Prayer Meeting and for en
hour held the audience with min
Cling of fun and pathos and senti-
ment and wisdom such as one but
seldom enjoys. After the adjourn
ment of the morning session about
fifty men-mostly young, and iden-
tilted with the hardest of Christian
work in the most unpromising
fields-eathered about him, in order
to wrest from him some of the
secrets of his success. The results
were too valuable to pass without
enduring record. The questioning
lasted nearly an hour and a half.
During that time Mr.. Beecher was
in the centre of a densely packed
crowd, and not given a moments
rest. The questions were some
times rambling, but nearly all tend
ed to uncover an inward experience
that others besides those then pre-
sent would be glad to see. Omitting,
of course, many things, the ques-
tions and answers were very nearly
as follows:
"Mr. Beecher, what do you do
with bores in your prayer meeting 2"
.sWell, 1 try to be patient with
them Christ, when He was on
earth, was troubled with bores, and
l say to myself, why should I not
be? I try to educate them, and
make something out of them. The
man who is bore now become an
effective worker if one is only
patient. ."-Drawer Harpar's Maya

GUSHALINA BENDfBUS, VICTIM OF FASHION.

From Demorest's Magazine.
aUSHALINA BENDfBUS, VICTIM OF FASHION
BY FAvoRITE CONTRIBUTOR.
Poor Cushalina Bendibusl
In pain she drew her breath:
Her mode OF life was sad. as was
The fashion of her death.
She lived among the very cream
So dreadful was her fate
The uppercrust, mean; she dined
From off fashion plate.
Poor child! when first to take the air
They carried her about,
They took great pains to vail her close
And keep the air all out.
Cute, rather than cutaneous,
And firm upon her pegs
She looked; yet had breading out
Upon her lower-l-legs,
She could not bear to have them dressed,
You might have thought she'd freeze;
The only thing that she could bear
Was just to bare her knees.
And when she grew, her trouble grew,
Her head produced Wen;
And soon it took another link,
And kinked her hair up then.
AtSaratoga Springs she drank
Her cup of bliss each year;
Some said it was her merry hops,
That brought her to her bier.
To lie till late, and scintillate,.
These were her greatest sins;
She made herself quite inn famous,
By coming out at inns.
Soon her disease assumed new form,
1t changed about so fast:
The weakness just above her eyes
Got into them at last.
She held her parasol in such
A dainty attitude,
She had to have an arm support;
But all would do no good
And so, to shield them from the light,
a little cap she chose;
The back upon her forehead hung,
The front upon her nose.
And folks remarked, that saw her cap
Arranging o'er her face,
Capillary attraction twas
That kept it in its place.
Next, her disease went to her waist
Now you may smile and scoffI
But here it took another shape,
And nearly cut her off.
Folks shook their heads who saw her pass
Some laughed, and some grew wroth,
To see so great waste of health,
So small waist Of cloth.
And how she could so-lace herself,
I'm sure can not say;
But she, with wider corset, might
Have made longer stay.
And now she took another turn,
Among her cranks and quips;
She got the hypo, and she got
Enlargement of the hips.
The doctors called her new disease
A panier, SO I've heard;
She looked beast OF bird-un, but
I think she was bird.
OF good physici ans-and advice,
Poor girl! she had no lack;
They tried to drive the evil out,
But only drove it back.
Itwas not catching, some believed,
Because no men were took;
Some said that she contracted it
By seeing the Black Crook.
They gave her first some peppermint,
Then brandy, and then schnapps;
They treated her just as they do
The last stage Of collapse.
And while they bent their energies
To save her from her fate,
She, sad to say, seemed doubly bent
On going from them straight.
One day she in the street grew worse,
And fast began to droop;
While taking steps to get her in,
She died upon the stoop!
Poor Gushalina Bendibus,
By all the world forgot,
Is buried in oblivion now
That was her burial lot.

z. Il Smith charged Mr.. w. III. Sherrott,
at Court of Special Sessions, this morning,
with having in his possession white Grape
shawl, the property of Mrs. Smith. Sherrott
keeps a liquor saloon, and upon entering
there few days ago Mr. Smith saw shawl
similar TO the one which had been stolen
from his wife exposed for rattle. A complaint
was made at the district station house and
the shawl taken into custody.
Smith was placed upon the stand first, and
he said the article had been purchased by his
wlie some twelve or fifteen years ago, but
during the lasl two ears it had disappeared
IN most unaccOuntab.e manner. The
shawl has Gel tain spots OF perspiration stains
upon 1t, all OF which he described, and there
was no doubt that the shawl was his Mrs
Smith was next examined, and her evidence
corroborated her husbands, and several of
her lady friends appeared who all knew the
shawl, and all described the spots from the
recollection they had OF it years ago.
MIR. Sberrott now produced his witnesses.
His sons knew the shawl well; when thew
were little boys they remembered that their
mother wore 1t, and the elder ones
memory went back as far as eighteen
years. The article went out Of fash
ion and the father took it to rattle it off:
he knew it well, aud described every
spot upon 1t. Mrs. Sherfot could not testify
-in this case, but she said she had owned the
article for twenty years. Several of her lady
friends appeared and they all knew the shawl,
and all described the spots upon it, from the
recollection they bad OF it long ago, and so
there was no doubt that the shawl was he RS.
This was more than Alderman Common
could stand. Each party claimed the shawl
and each party was entitled to it, he gave it
to neither, but sent it back to the Station
house, to let the Captain settle the matter as
best he might. The prisoner was discharged
from custody. One OF the parties present
suggested it should be cut up and divided
equally among the claimants.
