The Cuban ladies of this city have patroi'

shanped the time Of Lent into time OF lint,
and the stores of bandages, medicines and
surgical instruments they are preparing to ship

Emilia de Vil}ayeIde is the secretary OF the
association, and the st. Julien Hotel is where
the meetings are held. They are getting up
grand concert for March ., at SteInway Hall.
Charity is never so charitable as when she IS
amused. She requires good deal OF music to
take the chill off, and when she is quite freez-
ing she is always brought into Steinway Hall.
On the assumption that faith, hope, and love are
all humbugs charity may justly be pronounced
the greatest of all. Ii there were contest for
stinginess, think l should throw the golden
apple to charity and the occasion should be q
concert for benevolent purposes at SteinWay
Hall.
Assessor Webster has put in an appearance,

monis and various firms on Wall street, upoI
whom notices had been served to appear betor

regards all the world as a moneymarket anC
all the men and women merely bulls and bear
who watch the rise and fall of stocks. One O.
two of the firms upon whom notices were serveC
have declined TO make returns. They prefe
bringing matters to an issue at once, and hav
given as blank a refusal as though the notice
had been left blank, too.
There is every indication that the so calle
Rogers mystery will be permitted to renal
one. 30 far as the public is concerned, it is
yeritable mystery; but there is more than
suspicion that among the judges, the Mayo
and the detectives, more is known than the
choose to tell. AT least two men ars in custod
against whom there appears to be an equ
amount of evidence, and yet no motion Is ma,
towards trial. These two men are Nah
fspotted out by exDetective De Ia Noye ar
