itv that a proposition of the following nature
has been made by the British government to the
representative in London of the Cuban republic
England is willing to guaranty to Spain one
hundred millions of dollars for the session of
Cnba to the Cubans; Cuba to bind herself not
TO become annexed to the United States for one
hundred years from the date of her independ-
ence; the control of Cuban custom-houses to be
given by Cuba to England as security tor the
loan until the latter is repaid; and lastly, Cuba
to be willing, if the powers possessing the other
West India islands consent thereto, to form one
of confederacy consisting of all the islands,"
jefferson Davis has written a letter declaring
that he was grossly misrepresented by the
northern reporters at Atlanta. He says that he
did not counsel resistance to the amendments,
but expressed his willingness to wait for the re-
turning sense Of justice at the north for relief.
He expressly disavows any design to advise dis
loyalty to the government.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Fred. Douglass assigns

Within a stones throw of Printing house
square an interesting and practical demonstra-
ton of woman's capability to do mans work
successfully may be seen on any day Of the
week. The locality of the experiment is in New
Chambers street, and the eXpermentalist is a
widow of thirty, whose husband died short
time ago and left her in possession of consider
able property and a thriving business of con-
siderable magnitude. One OF the projects of the
deceased was the building of a house for the &C.
commodation of his family and in which his
business could be conducted on an enlarged
scale. Before his pet enterprise had been well
begun he was stricken by death. But the
widow did not lose courage, although left to
manage the many details of her husband
business and to care for the property left to her
qua diansdip. Many women in her situation
would have hired an agent, Not so our heroine,
however, for, finding that matters went smoothly
under her own direction, and that she felt eqnal
to the task, she turned to the consideration of
the house-building project above mentioned.
AT first she thought of giving the work out by
contract, but upon inquiry she found that the
man who was to superintend the work was to
receive as much for his services as the combined
wages of the laborers employed. Seeing that if
she could supply the place of this superin tend
ent herself so much money would be saved, she
determined to do so. Acting upon this deter
mination she went to work, made the estimates
the materials to be used, which is well up into
the thousands, hired the laborers, bought the
stone, brick, and everything with which to COM
mence operations, and herself "bosses" the job.
her time, Of course, is divided between manag-
ing her store and mandatory, watching the
laborers on the new building attending to the
wants and wishes of her tenants, and looking
out after her own interest as landady. Besides
these busy labors she has the superintend-
ence of her own household, which is generally
found to be enough occupation by women of her
ample means. Her only assistant appears to be
daughter not yet sixteen years of age, whose
labors are confined exclusively to the store. The
lady is of German descent, has fair share OF
comeliness, and is not at all unfeminine II
manners. All cOnversaut with the circumstan
ces speak in admiration of her pluck and en-
ergy. "Can she tell what constitutes a goot
days work ~ said one who had paused for
moment, to an Irish laborer, who, like tn
speaker, was looking at the lady, dressed in he
widows weeds, as she stood surrounded will
brick, stone, lumber and mortar, giving direc
tions and keeping watchful eye on the brawny
laborers engaged in digging the cellar for the
new edihce. "Let her alone for that, sur; she's
a smart woman, she's a smart woman, she's
here whin the laborers goes till work at seven
in the morning, and whin they stop at six al
night. She can tell how much dirt man
ought to dig up and carry away to shovelfull
Deed, sir, she's clever" And so she is.

Fisk, Jr., holding religious service on Boston
Common, would be a spectacle that might de-
serve study. He is notorious, not exactly for
religious character, but for something else that
would heighten the effect of his performance. HC
has shown extreme desire to hold such a service
next Sunday; but he will not succeed. Use o
the common, for this purpose, has been refused
and he has tried in vain to get place il

The mayor of Charlestown sees no opening fol
him in that city. What he will attempt next is
not yet told; but, if he were capable of under
standing the public estimate of his character, he
would stay in New York, or, perhaps, select
Coney Island as the proper place for his reli-
eious demonstration

During the late war the Germans DESTROYED
the usefulness of many captured French cam
non, which they could not carry away, by blow
ing of their muzzles. The explosive material
used IS called ltho-tracteur. A series of expert
mentS lately conducted in England with this
compound establishes its tremendous power
and its comparative safety. The claim is put
forward that it is absolutely harmless unless
Intentionally exploded, but experience will
probably modify this claim. Litho-fracteur is
patented compound, consisting of nitroglycer.
inc, gun-cotton, the constituents of gunpoWder
infusorial earth and other substances and
makes white paste. A quantity of it was
burned slowly, both in the open air and en-
closed, to show its safety from fire. A box con-
tanning five pounds was thrown from height
OF five hundred feet, and struck upon O rock.
The cartridges were broken open and scattered,
but did not explode. On the other hand when
exploded by percussion fuse and can its
power was tremendous. Placed on block of
stone, In the open air, single cartridge, weigh
ing less than two ounces, split off two large
wedge-shaped pieces of stone. 1t was tried in
quarries with very satisfactory results. Ten
cartridges, weighing in the aggregate a little
more than pound, placed in hole bored verti-
cally four and half feet deep, dislodged more
than twenty tons of rock. Two iron rails of the
double-headed pattern, four and half feet long
and weighing seventy-five pounds to the ward,
were laid one above the other on blocks of stone
IN the open air, and a cake of litho-fracteur
weighing one pound five ounces, placed upon
it, was exploded. The rails were completely
broken in two. Three experiments were made
to demonstrate the safety Of the compound in
transportation even when an accident occurs to
railway train. Two cartridges were fixed to
the wooden buffers of car, which was per-
mitted to descend at full speed an angle of one
in eight nearly third Of a mile, striking with
terrific force another car stationed at the foot of
the incline. The conclusion merely scattered
the compound about the cars and rails, while il
smashed the two cars to atoms. The same ex-
pertinent was repeated with the use of iron
buffers, and the result was a slight explosion,
which destroyed only an infnitesimal part o.
the litho-fracteur, and made a sound no louder
than would be caused by striking a percussion
cap withia hammer. Again, a quantity of the
material was put upon the rails, and the car
passed over it at frightfnl speed without injury.
Il seems to be settled by these experiments that
the new explosive has at least some points of SUI
