The Great Drought-A Scene in
Cuba.
BY AITCH.

BY AITCH.
1t was one Of those terrible seasons OF
drought, which occur on the island OF
Cuba at intervals of about fifteen years.
1t came on so gradually during the early
part of the season, and with such sbnn-
dant indications of early and plentiful
rains, that the inhabitants of the island
we're themselves entirely deceived and
taken by surprise.
Indeed there we're at frst, for sik weeks
or two months, occasional showers OF
rain-say once week, on sa average
but they were so slight, and the earth was
so parehed, that the dust was scarcely
moisteusd before the reeking atmosphere
had swallowed sp 10 yapor every drop OF
the scanty rainfall. Butthis sac not an
unusual condition of the atmosphere tor
the summer season, and we were induced
to believe that it would soon be termi-
mated by heavy rains, which would un-
doubtedly last ten days or two weeks.
Our confidence was restored accord
ingly, and we set out at once for the
mountains in the interior, that we might
not, by delay, be cut of and detained by
the over6owiag Of the streams, when the
rains should finally act ip. But we were
not long in discovering that ta.s haste
was wholly unnecessary. The expected
rains did not come, and the indications
became daily pore unfavorable.
The sky became EellOF like amber, its
clear blue veiled and obscured by thick
bank of mist, like smoke, which spread
like curtain over the earth both day
and night. Through this the sEp sbone
like a great ball of FIRE, and its heat was
most intense, from the moment OF Its
first appearance until it had sunk from
view behind the western range of hills.
Even the deep shadows of night were in
CAPABLE Of cooling to atmosphere, and
the strong southwest Wind, Fiich blew
iuoessantly sixteen hours in the twenty
four, became heated like the air from a
furnacs; the sarface of the hands and
face was blistered in few Hinutes when
exposad to its blighting influence.
Within feE days following the cessa-
ton of the shovers, snd the appearance
of these indications Of droagdt, the
leaves of the trees began to wiLher and
dry up, the same as though the trees had
bsen cut down or girdled at the roots;
The gyeea sFsss and all vegetation died
on the 6illRides Eni il the valleys alike;
wherever the burning, srssplng WIND
could penetrate. It was even rnose de-
siructive than the hottest rays OF The sun.
No clouds overcast the heavens, by day
or night No dew fell to moisten the
parche5 earth, and no fog or cooling
vapor arose As ~ S:her times from the
cascades and mountain togTsnis IL tpe
deep, dark valleys The streams hosa-
selves thst fed thsse foaming catarscts,
dried up entirely IN 80 Incredibly short
space Of lime, and the spnHgs that

Stock Market.

Owing to the extreme wet weather
nothing has been doing in tho Stock
Market here for the past week.
The following are yesterdays Chi
cago quotations:
CATTLE-The receipts were COM
paratively light, and trade rather
dull. All the fresh receipts of good
shipping cattle, Wore taken by one
shipper, and 81 SO was the highest
price for car weights averaging All
lbs. The balance of the sales were
to city butchers and yard specula-
tors, and consisted of rough, uneven,
mixed lots of 'nativos" and Texas
steers, selling all the way from ssa5
per 100 lbs.
HOGS-Received AZ cars. During
tho morning thore was a brisk de-
mand for smooth, fat, bacon grades
and Yorkers, and, under brisk CON-
potion prices were 1Oal5c higher on
these grades, selling at So sOa9.-
Medium grades, and heavy, rough
Boston hogs were slow of sale at
So 75aS 80, and it will be seen were
lower than the lighter averages
There wore few orders for extra
fat, assorted hogs, but tho demand
was light, and there are now in the
pens largo number unsold. Sales
were mado at S9a9 IS for $50 and
$50 lbs averages.

A Villain.

Major VIM. Van Bcntheusen arriv-
ed hero yesterday, with tho Sheriff
Of Davis County, oscorting one +. M.
West, sometimes called General
West" to our county Jail to await his
trial for murder.
1t soems that West killed one VIM.
Wallace at, or near, Troy, in Davis
county, Iowa, about the time of the
rebel raid into Davis county, in 1864,
which many of our people will re-
collect,-West being a bushwhackor
and Wallace q unionist.
West escaped at the time of the
murder to Canada, and went from
there to Mexico, California, and the
South American States, but recently
returned to tho vicinity of Mexico,
in Scotland county, Missouri, where
he was captured by tho lynx-eyed
officers Of justice of our neighboring
county.

long boards on it, very much like
barley, while the heads arc very long

the scabcaused by tho wet weather

ordinary season it would produce a
crop largely in excess of the common
varieties grown here.

Ciatohey's Wooden mill at that place,
and was thrown into the machine and
had his right arm so badly mangled
as TO necossitate its amputation near
the shoulder. He was also terribly
bruised in tho right side, and it was
supposed for some time, that his
wounds would result fatally, espe-
cially because of his age which is 81.

1t will not do to trife with the heaIthin bot
weather. Vigor oozea through the skin at ey-
cry pore, and 1t Is by physical vigor only that
unhealthy influences can be baffled and re-
PEELED. The vital elements are evaporated in
perspiration. Intense heat converts man
into self-acting pump, and the moisture that
is pumped out of him Is derived from the WELL
springs of life within him. There is great
need, therefore, that these sources of physical
strength should be in n condition to bear,
ordinary drain. Ifthey are not in such q con-
deition,. the individual becomes Ianguid and
lbw spirited.
The main thing Is TO keep the digestive APP
paratus IN good working trim; for i the ston-
roughly, the liver, the bowels the brain, and
the nervous system, being duly nurtttred, will
be likely to do theirs In view of these facts,
