A curious episode OF the Cuban revolution


A curious episode OF the Cuban revolution
trauspred yesterday in Key West.
Our readers will doubtless remember that
CAsrASoS, tic editor Of the organ of the Havana
volunteers, went over TO Key West some months
ago, nom,na,y on the protcnce Of fighting duel
with a prominent Cuban Of that city, really TO
regain political capital, which his unbrdled ad-
vocacy Of extreme measures, universal conhsea-
ton, wholesale determination Of Cubans, &c,
had materially diminished. This man was shot
down in scf-defance by a person on whom he
drew aud fired. Although IL was well known at
the time that the person who killed CAsrAsoS
had escaped, very many Cuban residents Of Key
West were arrested on suspicion Of being impli-
Gated in the transaction. Bail, and even pre-
liminnry examinations which would have resulted
in the liberation Of every one Of the arrested
parties, were refused. All were held to await the
action Of the Grand Jury.
This action took place Yesterday. md each and
every one Of these prisoners, who had been con-
fued in Jail for over three months the most
trivial and senscless charges, were cleared from
all completely and set at liberty.
And now comes the eliminating absurdity Of
the matter. The charges were preferred by
Spaniards against Cubans, and so thoroughly did
the former imagine that they could rely on the
acquiescence of Mr.. Fish and the United States
authorities, that on the rendering Of the verdict
Of the Grand Jury they sent over to Havana q
request TO Gen. Carlo the present acting Cap
tain General in that city that he would immc-
diately send to Key West an armed force for their
protection.
The request was prudently refused by Gen.
CARBo; but its having been preferred is conyinc-
ing proof that the spaniards in Key West
imagine that they may outrage the laws on both
sidcs If the Gtr,ts Of Eloyda with immunity

WOlnanIV Beauty.

Man loves the mysterious A cloudless
sky, the full blown rose, leave him unmov-
ed, but the violet which hides its blushing
beauties behind the bush, and the moon
when she energies from beneath cloud, are
to him sources Of aspiration and Of pleasure
Medesty is to merit what shade is to figures
in painting-it gives it boldness and promi-
nence. Nothing adds more to female beau
ty than modesty; it sends around the coun-
tenance halo of light, which is borrowed
from virtues. Botanists have given to the
rosy hue which tinges the edge Of the white
rose the name of ''maiden's blush" This
pure and delicate hue is the only paint
Christian virgins should use it is the rich
est ornament. A woman without modesty
is like faded flower, which diffuses an un-
wholesome odor, and which the prudent
gardner will throw from him. Her destiny
is melancholy, for it terminates in shame
and repentance. Beauty passes like the
flower of the Albo, which blooms and dies in
few hours; but modesty gives the female
character charms which supply the place O.
this transitory freshness of youth

DRESS AND AppEARANcE.-Upon the sub
jet Of Dress and appearance, the New York
Times thus remarks
"a coat that has the mark Of use upon it,
is recommendation to people of sense and
hat with too much nap and too high lus-
tire, a dcrogatory circumstance. The best
coats in Broadway are on the backs of pen
niless tops, broken down merchants, clerks
with pitiful salaries, and men that do not
pay up. The heaviest gold chains dangle
from the fobs of gamblers and gentlemen Of
very limited means costly ornaments on la
dies indicate to the eyes that are well opened
the fact of silly lover or husband cramped
for funds. And when pretty woman goes
by in plain and neat apparel, it is the pre-
sumption that she has fair expectations, and
a husband that shows balance in his favor
For women are like books-too much gild.

The Woman's opinion of wells.

Howard Glyndon, in an article OF
"Veils," in the New York Eveniag Mail
writes as follows:
ut almost STILES me as turn corner,
to come upon woman with her face done
up Theoretically in three or four enclosures
of blue, green, brown or black Donna Maria
gauze, or spotted lace Heavens and earth!
All this on balmy April morning, when
the air is impregnated with life, and the
earth is SO pleasant to look upon And here
she is, going about with her head bundled
up as if the thermometer were at zero, and
all because she is afraid to let the wind of
Heaven kiss too freely the complexion which
she values more than health or comfort Or
else, perhaps, she thinks she is too pretty to
be subjected to the common gaze. Now,
such custom as this might do for Oriental
Constantinople but in free. civilized, REIN
cd and enlightened New York, it is not just
the thing
A beautiful woman is one of natures tri-
umphs and in the name of defrauded mascu-
Unity, | protest against her enveloping the
light of her countenance in one of those obi
GUS wells when she goes abroad. A pretty
woman should expect to be looked at when
she goes out, and if she has modesty and
common sense she will pass the ordeal calm
ly and gracefully. She will not regard the
admiring glance which lights up some i'm
pulsivc masculine eye as mortal insult
She should remember that God has implant-
ed a love Of the beautiful in every human
breast; and she should be able to discrimi.
nato between the looks of license and the i'm
pulse that does homage to the perfection Of
the Creator as Swallowed forth in the beauty
of some of his works.
And thus, when beautiful woman walks
broad she needs no shield save the innate
aurity Of modest soul. The world will
pever mistake it for boldness or the forward
ness of self conceit.

A Young Hero.

The Milwaukee Sentinel of the 18th says:
"Officer Smith has given us the particulars
Of remarkable display of heroism on the
part of little southsider about eight years
of age. The little boy and his mother, a
Mrs. CONN, and an infant brother, were
walking along the dock last evening, a block
OR more below Eldred's shinglc mill, for the
purpose Of looking out into the harbor and
its shipping The mother had ventured to
take the stroll to humor her little boy Fred
die, and, in walking along, became SO inter-
terested in something on the opposite side of
the river that she failed to notice that her
infant son was toddling off the dock A
sudden splash and cry Of alarm brought the
mother to realization of the danger Of her
darling. Frustrating herself, she reached
out for the child, and in her anxiety to Sc
cure it, lost her balance and joined the infant
in the treucherous food Freddie, immcdi
ately upon the disappearance of his little
brother, ran for pole, and upon his return
was surprised to find that his mother was,
gone. The cries from the river led him to
divine what had happened Rushing to the
edge Of the wharf, he saw his mother foun-
dering in the water Croucbing down he
handed her the stick, which was gently
grasped by the afectionate mother, who had
managed to secure her infant. With re-
markable presence of mind she babe the boy
hold fast and cry for help. Freddie obeyed,
and succor came, three or four sailors rush
ing to the rescue. We shall not attempt to
describe the scene that followed-the drip
ping mother kneeling down upon the dock
with her arms encircling her children, and,
with tears of joy streaming down her pale
cheeks, thanking God for the safety Of her
self and her darling child The sailors were
so we'll pleased with the heroic conduct of
little Freddie that they contributed quite a
sum for the purchase of a silver medal to be
worn by him in commemoration Of his bra

from watery grave.

Poetry.
One Link Gone.

Take the pillows from the cradle
Where the little sufferer lay;
Draw the curtains, close the shutters,
Shut out every beam OF day.
Spread the pail upon the table,
Place the lifeless body there;
Back from off the marble features
Law the auburn curls with care.
With its little blue-veined fingers
Crossed upon its sinless breast,
Free from care, and pain and anguish,
Let the infant cherub rest
Smooth it's little shroud about it;
Pick its toys from off the floor;
They, with all their sparkling beauty,
Meier can charm their owner more,
Take the little shoes and stockings
From the doting mothers sight;
Pattering feet no more will need them,
Walking in the fields Of light.
Parents, fain: and worn with watching
Through the long dark night of grief,
Draw your tears and sooth your signing
Gain respite of relief.
Mother. care is no more needed
To allay the rising moan;
And though you, perehance may leave it,
1t can never be alone.
Angels bright will watch besideit
In its quiet, holy slumber,
Till the morning then awake it
To place among their number.
Thus golden link is broken
In the chain of earthly bliss,
Thus the distance shorter making
'Twixt the brighter world and this.

HUSBAND AND W1FE.-Between you two

Germs your domestic peace. Bear all things.
suffer all things, but in silence and sadness.
Let a moment of alienation or years Of es-
arrangement be healed and forgotten in after
moments and years of intense love, but new

built up between you and your wife's or your
husbands heart

any pursuit whatever, in all that makes a
man viriuous, useful and happy; and it is
surely to be regretted that nearly all our
young men should prefer mercantile life
or profession, TO the tilling of the ground
at their own quiet homes. Not only is it to
be lamented on account of the welfare of the
young men themselves. but also in the pros
perity of the country, for it is a truth that
cannot be contradicted, that the best aiater-
ests of the country are intimately connected
with the prosperous and enlightened condi-
ton Of its agriculture.
