The Cuhan EnSuryecti0n,

New YORK, December 20-Prvate
letters from Spanish soldiers in Cuba
show that they are becoming demoral-
izGgij willis the patriots are gaining
strength and hope. One sagsi " Fhe
insurrection appears each day to be
gaining greater strength, and to be us
ing different systems of warfare. The
whole country is full of small bodies OF
men, numbering from fo0 to 800, and
never a day passes without our beiiig
attacked by them. When we least ex-
pect il they pour two or three rounds
into us at close quarters, and then run
away, and as the woods are so thick
Ind the ground SO uneven, we are
unable to pursue then, be5ause they
know the land so much better than we
do. In each ambush they will gener-
ally manage to kill ten or twelve OF our
men, while we scarcely y ever get u shot
at them at all, except on any attack we
MAY hlaks dn their camps; and then we
meet with most determined ressJsDce,
SO that, as far as [ can see, there is no
visible end to this busin ess unless we
do as we did in San Domingo and give
them up the island. Never mind what
the Spanish papers say; they write
only to deceive the young men Of Spain,
but what [ tell you is the true char &C.

DISAPPEARED.

Yes, I can tell you & story of my dear
old friend Bayle; no one better. Some
of my friends here may have heard it
before, but it will bear hearing again.
I can't say I'm proud to tell it, because
it's too sad an ending, as far as he was
concerned, poor fellow, though my
self had lucky escape.
James Bayle was a very peculiar man.
/ don't think any one understood him
except myself He was certainly more
open with me than with any of his 9th
er friends or acquaintances. 1t was
three years ago, in November, when he
came up to London to stay with me in
this very house. He used to go out on
long walks by himself every day, and
l knew his object, for he had cOnfided
to me the fact that he was going to
marry a young girl somewhat below
him in station, and he was looking for
house in London, as he intended to
work hard on two or three journals, to
the staff Of which he had long been
attached.
The sort of house that he looked for
was, as you may believe, not very
dear one. He naturally wished for q
very quiet situation; and as he was q
man who had always lived in the coun-
try, and was very fond of flowers, he
said he would put up with any incon-
venience SO long as he could have a
piece of ground to himself He told me
the sort of house he required, and [
told him the districts in which he could
most probably find one It was one
Wednesday, l remember, four days af-
ter he had been with us, that he went
out rather earlier than usual. We never
expected him to return very early; but
when the dinner bell rang and we found
he had not come in, we felt little IN
easy. He was a very shy man, as you
know, and very particular; the last

january.

In old Roman mythology Janus Was
a royal doorkeeper, an appropriate
mamie for such @ parsonage, lnasmuch
as tie Latin ward j931u0, from which
Janus is derived nieaHs q door. When
Numa Pompilius, whose reign closed
about six hundred and sevety-two years
B. C. Before Christi, took it into his
royal head to make a new time table"
for the wosd, he upset things generally.
The ancient. Jewish, Egyptian, and
Greek Calendars began the year on the
25th of March, and this system ron far
onward into the Christian centuries.
But Numa Pompilius placed two new
months befCra the previous ten, and
called the first January, in honor OF
ganus; and very appropriately, for, as
the old NEUROLOGICAL deity was a door,
opener, so Januaify apens the year.
This Janus, by the way, had two faces
and the two-faced people of these days
show that the race Is not extlnot,-one
looking forward and one backward, IN
TO tbs future and into the past. Occa-
sionally he was Represented with four
faces. and thus he had the double name
Janus Bitr0ns (two faced) and Janus
QuGdgifrons -four faced).
The Romans worshiped Janus as the
guardian sf the year and the seasons,
Of gates and dooEs, ard at the Begin
ming of the day the people played to
him, and st the beginning OF the
wear sacrifices were offered to him on
twelve affairs, one for each month.
1'tl8 6rsf day of January has for
3&57a-y o1nt tad kv f0Sf-
ings and rejoicings, and the custom OF
making present dates back so far into
the dim past that we cannot trace Its
origin. Early Latin authors mention
it, and it wac practiced TO great excess
in the far off years Of English and
French history. The fashion wac, IN
those DAYS, to give such articles as
were rare, and we read of presents OF
" glove money! of gloves, when gloves
we're extensive. About the beginning
of the Sixteenth century metallic pms
were invented, doubtless to the great
ioy aud convenience of the ladies, and
these us eful little articles were often
given as New Years presents, OF money
with which to purchase pms, ana SO
+" pin-money' became a common gllg'
In process of time the phrase came TO
mean any money to be expended fof
tlifes. Before the sixteenth century
pins for fastening clothes were MADE OF
lockwood bone, and silver for the rich,
while wooden "skewers' served the
limited wants Of the poor. We now
associate &C Hskewers' with the kitchen
and roast meats. It has always been,
and always will be an unanswered
question. ssWhat becomes of all the

Elliot 2. Skinner has standing upon his

cluster Of chestnut trees on the farm OF

the others are little less. They are

little to the south of the last 1iamed
trees, on the estate of William Henry
Harrison Daggett, are TO be seen two

The little room. OF closet, at the

The window was EI65kea up; there

The Emperor and Empress OF Brazil.

The Emperor and Empress Of Brazil,
now making a European tour, seem
bent on leaving only golden opinions
behind them. The Emperor has long
been distinguished among relgning
Princes tor his enlightened views and
his practical interest in all liberal stu
dies. On his travels he has displayed
a lack of ostentation and an intelligent
curiosity quite IS much at variance
with the habit of royal tourists.
While in London, he frequently
astonished the attendants by getting
ND and roaming about the streets
long before breakfast, and now the
Empress has added a laurel to hel
crown such as few monarchs can boast
of. While at Naples, recently, the
Imperial party visited the famous
Azure Grotto. The sea being rough
the Empress remained outside IN
small boat. Suddenly the helmsman
by whose side she was sitting, lost his
balance, fell overheard, and would IL
all probability have been drowned hae
not the Empress caught h1m as he
sunk, and, by a great exertlon, hello
! him ND until the arrival OF help.

Something Rich and Rare.
From the New York Post.

No doubt the Prince Alexis has been
dazzled and lastingly impressed by the
magnifcenoe of the banquets given
him here and in Boston, as the Prince
Albert Edward was some years ago.
Still, people who are about to surprise
the sons Of kings with display ought to
know that something of the kind has
been seen in Europe. For instance,
the new edition of "Salad for the Sol
itary." tells us that "Tho royal plate
at Windsor is kept in tolerably-sized
reom and adjoining closet, and is valu-
ed at 81, 100000 sterlings There is
one gold service, formed by George ~,
to dine one hundred and thirty guests !;
Some pieces were taken from the Span
ish Armada, some brought from India,
Burmah, China" There are thirty
dozen of plates which cost twenty-six
guineas each plate" People in mod
crate circumstances, who cannot COM
pletely outshine the table that CLEANS
with many millions of dollars worth OF
gold and gems in it's service, may as
we'll, perhaps, avoid challenging the
comparison in this respect, and at
tempt no rivalry but in wit, social feel
ing and hospitable courtesy.

Lead Excitement in Illinois and Ken
tilcky.

From the Paducah Kentuckian, Dec 10.
The excitement growing out of the
recent discoveries of lead ut Rosa Glare,
Illinois is almost equal to the old Cali
fornia lead fever lands, and stocks are
changing hands at fabulous prices
Kentucky, it seems has an equally rich
deposit of lead opposite the Illinois
mines. We hear that some eastern cap
'talists recently commenced prospect
ing on the lands Of a Mr.. Barnett, near
CarrsviLe, and after a few days work
were successful in finding lead, which
bids fair to equal the Rosa Clare de-
posit, but have had a legal notice to
stop further operations, as gentleman
by the name of Trabue holds a mineral
lease on the lands executed over twenty
years ago. The existence of this lease
was news to Mr.. Barnett, but, on find
ing that it did exist, he proposed to re-
lease the lease by purchase. Our IN
formation is that Mr.. Trabue asked
800, 600 for his privileges. One can
hardly imagine what must have been
the feelings of disappointment to Mr..
Barnett, having, as he thought, become
the possessor of sufficient wealth for
all worldly purposes, but vanished at
sight Of this old and, to him, unknown,
document.
