those Ignorant people that the old
Queen of their ancestors frequently as
sumes the form of squaw and drinks

much more than at present, they say !;
but that is easily explained Then
there was more game there, which, in
wandering to the pail, drank the water.

Black Jews.

Nearly two thousand black Jews
have home IN the city of Cotochin.
Hindostan, ana its neighberhood.
While they are not as dark skinned as
the Ethiopian negroes, their color
places them under a ban, for despite
the fact that they are Israelltes in the
full sense of the word, and faithfully
worship TIE God of their ancestors.
neither the Israelites of Bagdad nor
the white Jews of their own locality
will intermarry or otherwise associate
with them. Their statement of their
origin is that when the conquest of the
East Indies bv Europeans opened a
road to unlimited wealth, into which
were attracted Adventures from all
parts of the world, many young Israel
ties from Bagdad, Bassora, and Ye.
men started out to seek fortunes. Es-
tablishing themselves in Hindostan
they purchased female slaves from the
natives, a number of whom became
converted, and were married to their
masters. From these intermarriages
the present population of Cotochin is
descended.

A Dangerous PAPER.
From the journal of Chemistry.


The green paper used to wrap about
lozenges, seld in shops, railway cars,
and on street corners, has long been
suspected TO contain arsenic, aud with
the view OF ascertaining the facts by
analysis, we recently purchased a roll
of lozenges covered with this paper.
A qualitative examination of the
paper afforded all the characteristic re-
actions for arsenic and copper. The
wrapper contained 20 square inches of
paper. OF this Is were taken for guam.
titative analysis. The result of the
examination showed that this Dor.
ton contained 1916 grams, or 2.34
grains of metallic arsenic. This
il equivalent to 294 grains in
the whole of the wrapper, a quantity
Sufficient to destroy life in an adult
person. Children in all parts of the
country ere allowed TO purchase the
lozenges covered with this poisonous
paper, and the rolls are often pnt into
the hands of infants as a plavthing. As
everything goes into the mouths of
young children, il is easy to see that
no more dangerous substance can pass
into family than these packages of
confectionery. II is quite probable
that instances of poisoning have oc-
CURED from this cause which have
been of serious or fatal character.
There should be laws prohibiting tne
use of poisonous paper for any pur.
pose.

The Island Of Cuba.

Ihe following in regard to the Island
OF Cuba is from banking correspond
eft, whose information may be relied
on:
To the Editor Of the NeW York Times !.
The following facts regarding Cuba
may at present be of interest to vour
readers. The island is the most fertile
and the largest of the West India ISL
ands. Columbus said it was the most
beautiful land eyes ever beheId. It's
length IS about $50 miles, and its
breadth about forty miles. The Island
OF Great Britain is about $50 miles
long, with an average breadth of
about 200 miles, which will give some
idea OF the comparative size of Cuba.
Cuba contains some 10000 square
miles OF territory, and is remarkable
for its general salubrity of climate
and great productiveness of soil.
No land has ever suffered more
from gross disagreement. It has
been the prey alike of the old buccan-
GERS and the modern filibusters. not to
speak of its own internal revolutions
and fruitless uprisings; in fact during
the present century it has never known
permanent tranquility. The misgov-
eminent of the Spanish authorities has
been outrageous, whether the island
has been under Constitutionalists or
Absolutists. In spite of this, it's natu-
raj resources have been such that at
present its annual aggregate sugar and
coffee crops are about $50, 900, 900, and
its expOrts and inDortg to0afbor @1oo
100000. The total population is about
100000, so it can be imagined how
greatly that would increase, and its
productions accordingly, under a
Government so beneficient as ours. We
hope the Virginius slaughter will bring
things to a crisis, and that better DAVIS
are in store for the Queen of the An
tiles.
