GEN. JORDAN. the Cuban leader, has re-
turned to the United States. He repre-.
sents the cause ct the insurgents as hope
full, and will himself return to Cuba aud
take another bout of fighting. He says
that the great want of the Cubans is arms,
but that even without them they will con-
tinue to fight. They expect by system Of
guerilla warfare to worry out the Spaniards,
and in this way eventually gain their indie
pendence as other Spanish colonies have
done. Gen. Jordan was on Beauregards
staff in the shareholders rebellion, but is
now fighting against slavery, and pays the
following tribute of bravery to the negroes:
"The bravest soldiers in Cuba are the ne.
sroe they fight like dare-devils. One ne,
gro with a machette attacked seven Span.
ish volunteers at Las Minas, and, a.,er kill
ing five made his escapa. AT The battle Of
Las Minas the major part Of my command
were negroes, and | mus. say they were
about the best soldiers ever saw in action.
Though poorly armed, they made hash of
the Spaniards under Pueblo, aud gave them
such an awful whipping that the Spanish
general never held up his head after. l

A Fancy Sketch = Something We
Should Laugh at If seen in Africa

should Laugh at if >cen in Africa.
We might have thought it absurd
if DR.. Livingstone had written, three
years ago, that he had found in
Africa tribe, the women of which
dress as follows: "The Dayous are
beautiful women, with exquisite
compilations and fine forms, and they
dress in the most perfect taste.
They wear short dresses reaching TO
the ankles. Upon Q forehead is
perched small lat, the front OF
which rests upon the nose. They
take large bags of air and wool, satul-
ate them with butter, and hang them
on the back of the head. covering the
neck. Upon the small of the back
they tie bunch of cotton cloth,
colored and cut into strips. Their
shoes are beauties, coming to a
point at the toe, and having the long
sharp pointed heel placed under the
middle of the foot. This makes the
foot very small in appearance, but
the wcarer would tip over forward
but for the bags OH the head and
back. Each woman, when she goes
out, carries a large plantam leaf to
keep off the sun, which she holds by
the stem between the thumb and
iorefinser, crooking her elbow up
from her body at an angle Of ninety.
The effect is more beautiful than you
can imagine The gait Of the
woman is particularly admired. The
heavy ones have difficulty in keeping
their balance, but the light ones pick
their way along as prell'ly as hens
walk over hot ashes. Young girls

they arc of age to put on their shoes
they suffer with lameness and sore
ieet-atter that their feet become
permanently deformed, and they
have no more practice with them,
and RAINING is impossible. The
government Of the Dayous is really
democratic, the ruler being chosen
annually by vote of all the people /;
vet it is said the women do not want
to vote. All they care for is plenty
of hair and little shoes. The men
are satisfied with this division, and
the state is quite prosperous, though
the society is rather vulgar aud un-

WOMEN NOT INTERIORS.

But this is what look at-this barbaric
notion of the nferiority of woman. Every
higher class breaches about the inferiority
of everything below him. Every man con.
siders himself the best man in the world.
The American considers himself superior
TO the English. The same is the case in
France. Every Frenchman considers him
self God Almighty's first favorite. Every
people in the globe is the first people on
the globe. The highest class all the way
down is the same. If you consider it
among men alone, all men join and agree,
whatever may be the difficulties but wo-
men hold second place--are of second
rate. Now, history shows that in some
cases women are greatly superior to men.
Now, hold this, and that on the average
she is fully his equal. 1t is so, in the prov
idence of God, that where man is strong
woman is weak. and where woman is strong
man is wenk. If it were not that there is
split between the fingers, how could you
clasp your hand This idea of the inferi-
GRITTY of woman runs through all public
reasonil gs on the matter. But the house
hold is made pure, strong, wise and happy.

narrowness, but the ratio of woman's Depth

The Prize RING IN 1owA.-It seems
from the following article from the Sporting
Times, that the usually quiet and orderly
town of Marion, has had a visitation of
rowdyism
An off.hand mill came of at Marion,
Iowa, as we are informed, on the race
course, Tuesday morning the 26th ult. The
contest was between Billy Hildebrand, of
Cedar Rapids, and Russ Mead, of Dubuque,
for $25 side. The fight lasted through
nine rounds, time Is minutes, when Mead
not coming to time, it was ascertained that
his Jaw was broken, and Hildebrand was
declared the victor. The winning man was
born at Niles, Mich, is 10 years of age,
weighs $50 pounds, stands 5 feet, 8 inches
in height. Mead is native of Ireland, 20
years old, feet, IL inches in height, weighs
$50 pounds. Betting was 10 to on Mead.
Billy is now looked upon as one Of the best
fighters Of his age in the west.
The vindictiveness of the Davenport Ga
zette towards Hon. John A. Kasson would

Billing and cooling is all you cheer;
Signing and singing Of midnight strains,
Under Bonnybel's window paneS,-
Wait till you come to Forty Year.
Forty times over let Michaelmas pass,
Grzzling hair the brain doth clear
Then you know boy is an ass,
Then you know the worth of lass,
Once YOU have come to Forty Year.

All good fellows whose boards are gray.
Did not the fairest of the fair
Common grow and wcarisome ere
Ever month was past away:
The reddest lips that ever have kissed,
The brightest eyes that ever have shOne.
May pray and whisper, and we not list,
or look away, and never be missed.

COME, IN BEAUTIFUL DREAMS,
BY GEORGE p. PRENTICE.

Come, in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come to me oft,
When the white wings of sleep
On my bosom lies soft;
Oh! come when the sea
In the moons gentle light.
Beats soft on the air,
Like the pulse of the night
When the sky and the wave
Wear their Hottest blue,
When the dew's on the flower,
And the stars on the dew.
Come, in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh. come and We'll stray
Where the whole year is crowned
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is as sweet
As the echo of a dove,
And the gale are as soft
As the breathings of love;
Where the beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Come. in beautiful dreams, love,
oh. come and We'll fly
Like two winged spirits
OF love, through the sky;
With hand elapsed in hand,
On our dream-wings we'll go
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are bending their glow;
And on the bright clouds we'll linger.
OF purple and gold,
Till the angels shall envy
The bliss they behold.
