The Mode Of Fighting in
Cuba.

An eyewitness of the Cuban
revolution, who has lately arrived
in New York, says that the war is
carried on more as a guerrilla war
than byregular operations. When
ever a force of Spanish troops ap-
pears anywhere, the Cubans scat
ter from its front, and seek, by am.
buscading behind trees and in the
thick woods, to annoy the troops
and diminish their numbers
The great object among the insur-
gents in these encounters is to get
hold of the musket and knapsack
of every one they can wound or
kill. In this they will run extra
ordinary risks, three or four run
ming out from the bush at every
Spaniard who falls. The; Span
ish troops generally behave well
in these ambuscade encounters,
and whenever forced to halt or
form during their march, they
roundly abuse their unseen foes,
styling them towards, and calling
upon them to come out of their
hiding places and show themselves.
The feeling among the Spaniards
is very bitter indeed. They
formed almost entirely the trading
population of the country, and
every cross-road and country vii
lage was occupied with their shops.
These are now abandoned wherev-
er the insurgents have appeared,
and their owners have Withdrawn
to points held by the troops
Thus the country is bare OF goods.
At first lenient policy towards
the prisoners. prevailed, but the
Spanish volunteers have now be-
come SO violent that they shoot
nearly all they capture, calling
them leaders. No regular civil
government exists in the districts
held by the insurgents, and no
formal attempt has yet been made
to organize one.

Cooperative Societies.

1t is, not well known. perhaps,
that 1.-THE Russians are among the
earliest of modern races who adopt
ed and put in practical form the
cooperative society system. From
the most ancient times there has
existed among the peasant popu-
lation Of Russia communes or So
cieties, in which a trade or neigh
borhood would band together for
mutual pecuniary aid and protec-
ton. The system exists in large
cities as well, and is productive
of great material well-being to
the participants. A curious fea-
ture is that the tendency to COM
munity sometimes causes whole
villages to have the same occu-
patton. There are villages where
all the inhabitants are tailors
or carpenters, and in the dis
trict of liver one will find settle
ments wholly of shoemakers.-
The system prevails also in the
army. The funds of a company
are entrusted to head man, who
provisions and clothes often all the
members, and provides for their
wants in case Of sickness. In the
societies Of Riga the artisans pay
into the treasury Is per cent. of
their earnings, which goes to form
a fund for the relief Of the sick,
or for the widows and children
of the deceased members. This
communism is enc of the most
important elements in the compo-
sition of Russian society.

A Burning Spring in In
diana.

A real natural curiosity is the
"burning spring" near Francesville,
Pulaski county. The spring is
on the farm of a Mr.. Blair. 1t
was intended for an oil well, but
instead of striking oil, the borers
came upon huge volumes of gas
and water, strongly impregnated
with sulphur. The well was aban.
doned, and the gas being lighted
it continues to burn with undated
vigor, looking as did the "pillar
of fire" of old. A visitor describes
the phenomenon in the following
graphic style:
"Here l am, out on the wild
prairie, three miles from any place,
writing by the light-none of your
little pent up fixings like they
use in Chicago, but one single
light, furnished from the bowels
of the earth nine hundred feet be-
low the surface, lighting up the
prairie for miles around, while ]
sit gazing at the sparkling stream
of water, which if not confined
would shoot upward nearly seven
ty feet, with the beautiful jets of
gas streaming from eight to ten
feet above it. What if the thing
should explode, would mountains
rise up, or would the crust cave in,
leaving a lake or a big hollow =?
If this column of fire rose from
the top of a hill the resemblance
to a volcano would be striking.
If I could move the spring to Chi
cago, or move Chicago down here,
or that city should extend her linn.
its thus far-a thing not impossible
for that ambitious place, as it is
only ninety miles-what a specu-
lation there would be in the thing
l could light up half the city, fur
Dish mineral water equal to the
White Sulphur Spring of Virginia
to the other half, and q natural
curiosity to the world, to say moth
ing of the thousands of suffering
humanity that would need only to
be washed in the pool to be made
clean. But l must stop, or you
may think l am gassing. Come
down and see it for yourself; you
could perhaps find language to do
it Justice. Icannot. Of wonders
it is wonderful, and decidedly q
"big thing"

A New York man was recent

A New York man was recently
imprisoned in the Ludlow street
Jail for debt Of four dollars. The
bill was presented to him purport,
ing to have been contracted by
his wife, who was notifying. He
not having any knowledge of her
mourning debt, refused to pay it.
After remaining in Jail a few days,
he found that the cheapest way to
get out was to pay the bill, the
plaintiffs lawyer, the S1l.75 fee
demanded by the sheriff and the
$3.50 Jail fee demanded by the
jailor.

ever we have to sell, and more
competition, the effect as can be
really foreseen, will be to stir up
the most sluggish blood.
We nave heard two plans some
what prominently brought forward
and debated, and suggestions as to
Others. The two plans are, 1st,
direct taxation, and End, the issu-
anee of county bonds. We simply
advert to these plans without in.
tending to say anything for or a.
gainst either, believing that the
means is not the important ques-
ton just now.
We wish our people first to set
tie the question whether we want
Turnpikes, and we want them to
come to the settled conUictiO7a and
determination that we MUST have
them. We want them to see that
Pixies are NECESSARY for the true
development and prosperity Of
the country. Whenever our peo-
pie come to such a feeling and de-
termination, the means will be Sec
ondary consideration. If then d.
rect taxation, or the issuance of
bonds, or whatever other means,
are resorted to to do the work, they
will feel themselves we'll able to
bear the burden, and will willing
lily march up and do their duty
Let us all then come to the con-
clusion and determination that
Pixies mast be built, and then
come together and without asper-
ity or bitterness, determine the
best means, having an eye only to
the public good.

A Splitting People.

Rev. David Macr@, Scotch
man, and recently a traveller in
the United States, says:
"The amount of chewing and
splitting all over America, but es-
pecially in the South and West, is
incredible. You find spittoons in
shops and parlors, in houses of as
sembly, in Congress, and even in
churches; and where there are no
spittoons it makes no difference.
You will see man in a court of
justice lift the Bible to take an
oath, give a side squirt of tobacco
juice, kiss the Bible, hand it back,
and give another squirt. At Ra-
leigh, / saw Litchford, the tailor,
whose apprentice President John
son was. Litchford is now Mar
shall of the Supreme Court, and
goes through the form every morn
ing OF opening the court. When
the Chief Justice says, "Marshal,
open the court !" Litchford gives
squirt of tobacco, and cries,
"Oyez! Oyez! Oyer this Supreme
Court is now opened! God bless
the State and this honorable
court !" and gives another squirt.
That is the entire CEREMONY
Numbers of the freedmen are con-
Meeting themselves with the anti
tobacco and anti-liquor societies,
feeling the necessity for guarding
against evils that have done so
much against the white people. )"

two former she gave to her daugh-

signed, deciding the store to the
daughter, but the latter being yet
a minor could not fulfill her part
of the contract, and thus the
