A correspondent writes that the wall
that once surrounded the city of Havana
has crumbled to dust, and presents sad
spectacle of neglect and decay. The
canal that enclosed the wall is in as bad
condition, and its pools of green scum
poison the air. The home government
exterts the last farthing, and leaves no
1.-THE for the repairs of the ravages of
time. The houses, save those of the rich,
bear the unmistakable garb of age and
neglect. The streets are not wider than
two passing vehicles demand, and the
sidewalks are but two feet. The stores
are mostly unattractive retail establish
ments and barn-like wholesale houses.
The public buildings are picturesque in
their tropical style, but inexpensive; and
the saloons plain to rudeness. Yet, for
all this, Havana is a beautiful city, and
highly attractive in its antique style.
The traveller fingers there in dreamy
fascination that seems never TO
weary. Her harbor, the securest in
the world, with its fringe of villages
and innumerable gondoliers, presents
picture not as brilliant as the bay Of
New York, nor as historical as that OF
Naples, but as charming in its poetic
suggestiveness. In the absence OF
music at the camp of Mars and the
Governors gardens | passed many eve
nings sailing on the bay and enjoying
the three hours tropical twilight where
the moon looks down, not through the
gray air of our climate, but an atmos-
phere of vermillion. The native Ha-
vanese is an excellent specimen of hu-
manity, slightly less than medium size,
with graceful form and usually hand
some face. His intellect is quick, and
often brilliant, but rarely strong or
philosophical. His friendships are
warm, but rarely enduring; and, though
altogether a sympathetic and compan.
ionable person, would not select him
for the friend of my soul. Yet be-
lieve his qualities of mind and heart are
such as would, underself government, de-
velop first class race. There are but few
good scholars in the Caribbean Islands,
though one is struck with their wonderful
facility in languages. You will rarely
meet a Caribbean, white or black, who
does not speak English, French and
Spanish. The Cuban women, like every
other race on earth, are greatly inferior
to ours. They are usually short, fat and
brown, with black hair and eyes. Their
manner of life precludes the possibility
of beauty or health. They never exer-
else nor take, except late in the after
noon, any recreation in the outer air
except in carriages ! did not, in some
months residence, see a woman, save
perhaps a laborer on the streets of
Havana, except in her vehicle or car
riage. My first observation of Cuban
female beauty was in the brilliantly
lighted gardens of the Governor at a
popular concert, when the black eyes,
powdered skin and gorgeous apparel o.
the senoritas was seen to full advantage
under the roseate transparencies.

Great Treasure TrOve.

A case of long standing has just been
decided by the Tribunal of the Seine.
In 1867, as some repairs were going on
at the Lycee Henri ~, behind the Pan
theon, a workman discovered q large
number of Roman coins in sewer. The
law rewards, in such cases, one-haif of
the value to the finder, and the other
half to the proprietor of the ground, in
this instance the city. The contractor
in whose employ the workman was,
stepped in, claiming his share, but he
has now been non-suited, and the mu-
nicipality have paid the finder the sum
of Is, ,397 francs for his half of the treas
ure, which is now deposited at the
Musee Carnavalet. This establishment,
founded by the city in the old hotel of
Nine. de Sevigne, has thus come into
possession Of ready made collection OF
upward of eight hundred gold medals,
all of the size which numismatic anti
quaries call the aureu7, answering to
the twenty-franc piece, but of a value
one-third higher. They form a series
pertaining to the history Of Lutetia,
from the reign Of Claudius to that Of
Septimus Seyerus; with very few inter
ruptions it comprises 81 the Emperors
and Empresses of that period, vizi
within the years Al and 1913 Of our era.
They are al in perfect preservation
those nearest the time at which the col
lection was buried look as il they had
lust come from the mint, such as those
of Commodus, Pertinax, and especially
Septimus Severus. The most brilliant
period Of the monetary art, that Of the
Antonines, is amply represented. there
are more than fifty Vespasiansi Of Titus
there are fewer, but there is one with
the exergue-Divus Titus on the diverse,
and the sella curulis on the reverse with
the thunderbolt. which is extremely val
liable. There is a Julia Donna, mother
Of Caracalla. an illus Cesar, two or
three Ploiinn, which are extremely rare
an aureus OF Antonius Plus, with the
excrgue, Concordie nneruR on TIE re-
verse. etc. This treasure must have
been bid about the year ls3. There eri
denfly we're a. that time collectors o'
old medals az there are nov.

EDGEFIELD, Tenn, Nov. ,, 1S73.-
Knowing your generous feelings in relation
to suffering humanity in bringing their
claims before the public, | ask that youwill
give the following place in your columns:
L noticed in your issue oft to-day that a new
Waterman was sworn in to prevent pedeS-
trians from crossing the railroad bridge
his name was Smith-and there was
thousand people attempted to cross during
his first watch. am sorry for Smith, and
moreover have very great sympathy for the
thousand inhabitants of North Edgefeld
who have no other convenient source of in
gresS or egress to the city than by said
bridge, and then, as you daily approach its
portals the bulletin board stares YOU in the
face, yOu cross here at yOlr Olcn risk. Now
the question will naturally arise, why not
cross the suspension bridge? | will tell YOU
why. There is not a street connecting
North and South Edgefield that has a foot
way for pedestrians, on such a day as yes
terday Whites creek pike was mud over

was almost impossible and at night danger

Foster street CHE great financial gornand)
beginning at Whites Creek pike and run
ming east and south, to Woodland street, in
South Edgeield, is of no use as a thorough
fare to any one living in the Northwest
portion Of the town. 1t may answer the
purpose for which it was built, but not for
ladies walking in low shoes. Our children
and young ladies find it difficult to get to
school in wet weather, from the aforesaid
cause, and when they do, are compelled to
sit with wet feet and soiled clothes. There
are many other reasons why we should
have thoroughfare connecting North and
South Edgetield in close proximity to the
city proper, which l thing unnecessary to
here as they have been fully set
forth IN petition presented to our distin-
guished Municipal Fathers, some time
since. We prayed then in concert with our
wives and children-OUr prayer was not

POLICE PICKINGS.

"Being drunk" is the motto inscribed OPP
poSite the name of Francis Jones as it ap-
pears in the police court record of yester-
day. The record also shows that Francis
did the fair thing by the city, as he paid
the sum Of five dollars for the privilege of
''being drunk
George White was drunk, too, but ne was
let off a little cheaper. In fact, Mr.. White
is regular patron of the police court, and
he gets his fines at wholesale rates. He
was released yesterday on the payment Of
s. i'll current funds.
Barnum Gillem was brought before the
court on the charge of "having no apparent
means Of subsistence and neglecting to ap-
ply himSelftO some honest calling" A ne
grO man stated that he would provide Gil
lem with work and be responsible for his
conduct, aud on these conditions he was re-
leased from custody.
John Cawley was picked up on the street
in very salubriOuS condition. He was in
terviewedby police judge with regard to
the matter yesterday morning, and stated
that he was very sorTy that he had INDUCED
to excess, and promised to mend his ways if
let off for this one time. The tender heart
OF the court was touched by the earnest
pleading of the eloquent Cawley, and he
was told to go his way in peace.
{. ROwell was fined five dollars for hav-
ing been drunk and disorderly the day pre-
viOuS.
