The Havana Students.

One Of the Havana students has written
letter in which he thus speaks of their
position. After being sentenced, he says;
We were the very next morning taken
to the quarries Of st. LazrO road and forced
to break stones and load them into
carts, labor entirely oveetAsking the
strength of the majority of us. Many Of
the stones are so heavy that it requires the
combined strength Of several to lift them.
During the first days some of the boys
were struck with the rattan canes OF our
masters and loaded with vile epithets and
insults; but complaints were made, as We
have been informed, by compassionate
people, and now we receive better treat
ment and are not forced by blows to over
task ourselves. The food furnished us
we cannot eat and We are obliged to sub
sist upon what we are allowed to bny.
Our plates are tin, and fork and spoon Of
wood; no cutting instrument is allowed
us. We sleep on palm mats thrown on
the cold stone floor, and, rain or shine, we
are forced into the streets to our tasks,
Such treatment to us who have been ac-
customed to have all our wishes gratitied,
pampered and spoiled by our over.indul-
gent parents, las, of course, caused sick
ness to many of US, and II continued our
sutferings will end in death. Many Ofmy
companions are responding, and envy the
fate Of our murdered schoOlmates 9th
ers, hOwever-the strongest and eldest,
and among them-keep up our spirits
and hope for the best. 1t is impossible
for us to imagine that We are to be kept
this way for six long Yeas. We are
Obliged to arise every morning at four
O'Clock, although we do not go to our
task until six, and work until near sunset,
ut which time the roll is called and we
are marched back to prison after that
we have what we call our dinner; then
Immediately after comes our only time Of
pleasure; we are allowed to read until
eight; ct that hour we are ordered to lie
down on our mats and 60 to sleep, or ut
any rate remain silent; we are only al
lowed to battle once q week, and also have
q prison barber, who slaves all the boys,
with or without boards he has two razors
for this purpose, one very dull and like
saw, which is the prison razor, and there
is no charge to be shaved with it; but he
has better one in reserve, which he says
is his own private property, and for the
use of which he charges ten cents, which
we are all willing to pay not to undergo
the torture of the saw razor. 1t is
rnnored that the students are soon to be
pardoned.

ATEssRs. GEo. p. RowREL & Co., the
celebrated and popular New York Adj
vertising Agency, engage to advertise in
gross and detail for large customers in a
better and cheaper mode than they can
do 1t themselves. This we sincerely be-
lieye they can do, because It is their sole
businessman speciglyi because they
get space at lowest wholesale rates, and
because OF their intimate and confden-

wish to spend ten thousand dollars in
general advertising over the country,
Notwithstanding our own experience and

than we could do it ourselves. -Ameriont

vide that every person employed in gov
eminent arsenals, navy yards, printing Of.
fees and workshops, except those who
work by the piece, shall be paid by the

are paid for by the hour in the private es-

tanned by dividing the price Of days work
by the number Of hours required in such

charge of the work. and receive the same
pay for each and every hour that Is re-
ceived by those in the neighboring estab-

HoRsE VS.. MULE Two farmers living
near Galesburg, ILL.,, got to hantering
about whether span OF horses belonging
toone could pull more than span Of mules
belonging to the other. 1t was decided
