The 1LL-PGTED FASSIE.-The Fannie
landed n valuable cargo Of arms and
ammunition in Cuba. She got aground
and burned. The expedition consisted
of fifty.six men, and was commanded by
Peralta, The expeditionists landed ald
buried the cargo. Valera attacked the
tilibusters, killing peralta and capturing
their flag, important correspondence for
Cespedes, and five prisoners officers
and three privates. Guided by the
prisoners, Valen discovered the buried
cargo, and secured it in good condition.
Valera pursued the flibusters, and troops
have been ordered to the jurisdiction to
attempt to cut of the remainder Of the
party, II is supposed in Havana that
part Of the Fannie's cargo was tranship.
ped into two sloops and landed on the
north side Of the island. The fate Of the
Fannie's crew is unknown, but it is pre-
sumed that they joined the filibusters.
II is asserted, however, that they took TO
their boats and went to Jamaica. A
Telegram announces that sixteen more of
the cXpeditionists have been captured
and shot: that two cnunOns, lG0 rifles,
over two hundred cases OF cartridges,
and many barrels Of powder have been
unearthed; and that the discoveries and
pursuit Of the expeditionists are still
going on. Five armed Cubnns of the
Cabanigian party have surrendered. 1t
is reported that the band was dissolved,
ana that the remaining members have
gone home in order to surrender.

THE VALLEY OF DEATH. spotalmost
as terrible MS the prophets valley Of dry
bones, lies Just north Of the old Mormon
road to California, a region 3Omiles long
by 80 broad, and surrounded, except at
two points, by inaccessible mountains.
II is totally devoid Of water and vegeta.
ton, and the shadow Of bird or wild
beast never dnrkens its white glaring
sands. The Kansas Pacific railroad engi.
neers discovered it, and also some papcrs
which show the fate Of the "lost Mont
gomery train. which came south from
Salt Lake in 1850 guided by Mormon.
When near Deaths Valley some came To
the conclusion that the Mormons knew
nothing about the country, so they ap.
pointed one OF their number leader,
and broke of from the party. The leo.
der turned due west so with the people
and wagons and flocks he travelled three
days, and then descended into the broad
valley, whose treacherous mirage prom.
ised water They reached the centre,
but only the white sand, bounded by
scorching peaks, met their gaze. Around
the valley they wandered, and one by one
the men died, and the painting flocks
stretched themselves in death under the
hot sun Then the children, crying for
water died at their mothers breasts, and
with swollen tongues and burning vitals
the mothers followed. Wagon after
wagon was abandoned, and strong men
tOttprpl. and rnypd and died After n
weeks wandering, dozen survivors
found some water in the hollow Of II
rock in the mountain. 1t lasted but a
short time, when all persisted but two,
who escaped out OF the valley and
followed the trail Of their former com.
pnnions. Eighty seven families with
hundreds Of animals persisted here. and
now, after 90 years, the wagons stand
still complete, the iron work aud tires
are bright, and the shriyclcd skeletons
lie side by side.-SpriaQi,h Republican.

The Cultivation Of Fish.

The hatchipg ground, OF the Hudson
River Fish Culturists, which Of course is
water and not ground, lies directly in
front Of the camp between the main
shore and 4 long narrow island, dubbed
"Shad Island. which protects the hatch
ing-ground from the swell Of passing
steamers, too violent motion Of the
water being unfavorable for Matching.
Here are seen floating two hundred of
Seth Green's patent wooden Matching
boxes, each Of which is nineteen inches
long, thirteen inches wide, and ten
inches deep, open at the top, and bot
toned with tarred wire-cloth Of twenty
ineshes to the square inch. Each box
has fastened to its sides two wooden
floats which hold it in the water Mt an
angle Of forty degrees, so MS to subject
the eggs in it to the action OF the tidal
current, it being necessary that the eggs
should be kept in gentle and continuous
motion until Matched. These boxes are
roped together one behind the other in
gangs" of five or six, with m anchor
at one end of each gang, in order that
the boxes must ADJUST themself to the
tide. These boxes daily require clean
ing. Twenty four hours after impregna'
ton, when the temperature is seventy
five, one can see with the aid OF a mi
croscope, q small yellowish Speck on the
circumference Of the yolk within the
egg. Forty.eight hours later, with the
same temperature, the naked eye can
discern the young fish, with sac attach
ed to its belly, making continued effort,
with head and tail, to break out OF the
shell, from which, within three DAYS, the
temperature remaining at seventy'fve,
it will have succeeded in escaping.
The young fish, when it has Just
emerged USUALLY tail first from the
shell, is about half an inch long, with an
umbilical sac attached to it, containing
sustenance, which Is absorbed in from
six to eight days, after which the little
wriggler must he libernted from his
wooden prison to feed on the animalculm
Of its native element. Fancy this wee
fish returning year hence as full
grown sind, to he cooked and eaten by
some Of the men who were instrumental
in bringing him into existanc, as the old
kingof Thuce devoured unawnres his
own offspring served up in dish.

annmr. Sweet HOme.n

This popular song, as originally writ
ten IN The play Of "Clari, or the Maid
of Nhlau," by John Howard Payne, Of
Baltimore. contained only eight lines.
Mr.. PAYNE, while in London, in 1881,
wrote the following additional verses,
and presented them TO an American Lady,
the wife Of an eminent banker;
To u, In despite Of the absence Of years,
How sweet the remembrance OF home still mp.

From lllurcmcuts abroad, which hut Gattcr the

The unsat.siicd heart turns, and says, with

There il no place Ike home!
There is no place like home
Your exile Is best with all fate can bestow,
But mine has been chcckered with many a woe
Yet though different our fortune, our thought

FAsrDIous NEATNEss. A traveller
who has seen much of the world, and
been thrOwnamoug all classes Of people,
is apt to take things easy, and grow
careless in dress and habits. But George
WhiteGeld, the famous feld.preacher,
who was in his glory when addressing
thousands Of coal.miners covered with
SCOT, was iastidious in the minutest
details Of dress and furniture Any
thing ont Of ordcrin bis clothing, or out
Of place in bis room, gave intense an
noynncc. He could not eat in comfort
II the table.cloth was spread uneven;
nor sleep in quiet il an article Of furni-
ture was out OF place. His writing
shared in the extreme neatness, and
blots or ensures made bis nervous. 1t
seems curious that man knocked about
the world 20 roughly rs he, and without
n settled home, should have retained this
fastidious ncatness till death.

A LuSATIos BITE AND ITS CoSsR.
ENcEs.-lhe disputed question ms to
whether the bite Of the human teeth is
ever poisonous would seem to be settled
in the nillrmativeb by case which recently
occurred ut the Schenectady poorhuuSc.
About three months ngo an inmate was
bitten in the hand by a maniac confined
there, and although no bad symptoms
exhibited themselves at first. the wound
did moi heal up rapidly, and in short
time the hand began 10 swell, evidences
Of poisoning being manifested. A!tor
suffering intense pain for nearly three
months with the disease, which gradually
extended up the ann, il was at last de-.
clded to perform an ampuintion, which
was done few days ago, and the patient
ia now in fair way Of recovery.
