THE STOLEN JEWELS
A STORY OF CUBA.

Don Manuel De Cartney was one Of the
wealthiest planters In the western portion Of
Cuba. He owned broad lands and numerous
slaves, and bis revenues derived from them
we're so great that the money flowed into bis
Golfers with a steady current, which bid fair
to amass for him fortune iu gold, scarcely
inferior to that of his estates.
The don was blessed with bu! one child, and
heir to all these huge estates and this was
daughter, as beautiful as poets dream, or
ever a lover conceived his mistress TO be.
Fair indeed was the beautiful Inez. As her
father was rich, so was she beautiful
Lovers she bad by the score, who one and
all worshipped her, as they would some fair
saint. But to cus did she give encouragement
and he like most Of the others, was banished
from the house.
Don Manuel had no notion that any common
lover should carry of his daughter, much less
a Yankee who had only his good looks to re-
commend him.
He had rendered his daughter some little
service upon one occasion at a crowded. fair, and
for this she bad been very grateful, aud in re-
turn had asked him to the house.
To this the don had made no objection, but
his sharp eyes bad soon discovered that the
Yankee was daring to make love to her, 50 one
day be impaired to him the information that
his presence there was no longer desirable.
Walter Garland took this rather plainly i'm
piled hin. and departed but he did not by any
means give up the plans he had in view. So
long as he felt sure Of the love Of Inez, he did
not despair
There were ways enough for him to see her,
if it was not in the old don's drawing-rooms,
be resumed, and he determined to improve
them.
Two or three times they had met thus, while
the old don was put asleep and unconscious Of
what was going on under his very nose.
He thought that Inez, like 4 dutiful child,
had obeyed him BY casting OF her Yankee
lover, who he deemed, was only after his gold,
and had sought his child as a matter of specu-
lation.
One evening, JUS, as The sun was going down,

camprehended 81 once the danger in which
she stood.
But she was no coward; And thinking that
perhaps her life might depend upon her pres
cnce OF mind at that moment. she summoned
all her strength, and in firm voice exclaimed;
Who are YOU, villain, Who dares thus to
enter the presence Of Don Manuelis daughter"
"Hark No. SO loud, il you please, my lady.
Another word as loud as that, and viii bury
this knife IN your heart"
Thou darest not, villain. But for what
dost thou come Make known thy errand
quickly, for one will soon be hero who will
deal with thee as thou dost deserve
The villain took step forward, aud wis $50
close to her that she felt his hot breath upon
he. cheek Hastily she fell back, feeling all
her strength going at once, which she had but
now summoned TO her aid.
~ have come for these jewels, be said in a
signii cant tone and at the same moment he
laid bis hand upon the necklace which adorn-
cd hor snowy neck.
Back, monster Touch ME not :" she cried.
unmndful of the threat be had but Just made
did she Care to speak above her breath.
With an oath the villain raised his knife aud
sprapg upon her. His hand was upon her
throat, and the deadly weapon was uplfted to
strike the fatal blow. At that moment, when
death 10 her seemed inevitable, the form Of
man filled the window, and the next instant
the report of pistol sounded in the apartment,
and the woud-be murderer fell 10 tho floor
with bullet through his brain.
Inez would have fallen too, her strength had
left her, had not her saviour at that momen,
sprung over tho body Of the fallen villain, and
caught her in his arms
my Inez thank God / was in time 20
save you," cried Walter Garland for il was he
Walter" she said family and then she
lay utterly unconscious in bis arms.
At that moment there was a hurried tramp
/ ling of feet without, and then the door Of the
apartment was thrown open, and Don Manuel
hurried in, followed by half score Of servants
For moment his astonishment almost de-
prived him of speech. The body OF the dead
villain lying upon the floor, and his daughter
clasped in the arms OF him whom ho had for
hidden the house, and whom be did not know
had seen her for months In a tone OF mingled
anger and calm he demanded what it all meant,
and in at few words as possible Walter Gar
land told him all of what he had witnessed,
and how ho had arrived in time 10 save his
daughters life.
Inez soon came back to herself, and corrobo-
rated it, and then the old don thanked him for
what he had done.
And more than that, few days afterwards
he gave him his daughter, saying that he bad
earned the prize by saving her life

FORTY-sECOND TERM-FIRsr SESSION

Senate.
WASHINGTON, April THE Ku-kiux bill was re-
ceived from the House read twice, and referred 10
the Judiciary Committee.
BY unanimous consent, Mr.. Morrill,, OF Vermont,
three hours speech, against san Dsmneo annexa-
ton.s While differing from the PreeidSSA he accorded
to him the purest motives IN wnatevI ne mao u0ne
The climate, soil, and products OF San Domlngo
being already known TO us from a9Snorltatlve
sources, the chief value OF the report OF the COM
mssoneTs was its vindicatlon of that which needed
no vndicaton-the personal integrity Of the Presi-
dent and that of the negotator OF the defeated
treaty. Our bullying over neighboring AIaerican Re-
pubics in the acquisition OF Texas, the iibustering
OF Walker the Cuban and other questions, had natu
rally excited the jealousy and apprehension OF all
inferior indepeno ent governments.
The annexation OF San Domingo would make the
Cnted States the great landshark OF the continent,
and leave the inference that any nominal mead OF
country might count upon the dag and treasury OF
tray and sell his country Forced artificial growth,
unlike the natural expansion OF a free country, was
nearly always a positive calamity. The want or
homOgenety between the people OF our recently
acquired possessions and the rest of the nation, and
the social disturbance between the master race and
freedmen OF the South-the former embittered by
defeat, studying political revenge for the future
admonshcd us that the risks OF the future ought
not to be multiplied, though all the ragged and fug :
tive kingdoms Of the world should seek annexation
to us.
One Of the arguments for annexation was that we
needed the harbor of the Bay of Samana to pro-
tect our commerce. But Samana by its extreme
eastery location, out OF the track of commerce.
and by its remoteness entirely useless The idea OF
its purchase was only temporary expedent neces-
STATED by the Rebellion in consequence of all our
Southern harbors being in the hands Of the Rebels
1t could not be needed defensive point, because
had nothing there to defend, and nine -tenths OF
military and naval officers would doubtless tes-
tify that even with expenditure OF millions the
Bay OF Samana would be source OF weakness 10 the
United States
The Domnlcans never could become homogeneous
in manners, custom, religion, or language with our
people. Grossly ignorant and superstitous reeking
In fifth and laZiness, regardless of marriage or its
binding power they would prove to us serious po-
tcal and moral as well as financial incumbrance.
besides lowering our standard of intelligence by ad-
mittiDg them to share in governing, as we should
educate and train our four millions OF freedmen.
Henor was not to be acquired by pushing American
institutions toward the equator, where even free
dom purest metal Yields to the fervent heat Our
proper development was northerly. Natural laws
had ordained our union with the British Provinces

LONDON, April IA despatch from Versailles
of the night of the 9th says the cannonade and
musketry firing continued all this afternoon to
the south of Paris between the insurgent posi-
ton at Montrouge and that of the Government
at Chatillon. Similar firing was also heard to
the northwest of Paris, evidently between
Asnieres and Nanterre, aud towards Colombes.
Forts Ivry, Bicetre and Charenton were also en-
gagged in a contest with the portion of artillery
of the Versailles army.
Attack of the Government Troops,
The Government troops made O vigorous
attack upon the insurgent Nationals at Neuilly
and were aided therein by the fire of Fort Mont
Valerien and the batteries at Courbevoe. The
combat still continues, ard the Nationals have
everywhere abandoned The offensive for the de-
fensive.
A Large Force of Insurgents
is at Gennevilliers, surrounded by the Govern
ment troops. A bold attempt was made by them
to pierce the lines of the Versailles army and
return to Paris, but it proved utterly futile.
Paris Shelled.
A despatch from Paris says several shells have
burst within the walls, in the Avenue de rIm-
peratrice. The Communists are determined to

Hopes are entertained that an armistice of
