Treaty Agreed Upon Between Cuban

Special Telegram to the Cincinnati Commercial
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The London
Anglo american Times, Of Jan. 4, prints
the draft of proposed treaty of peace be-

which has been pending for nearly two
years. l. was agreed to in April, 1871, By a
confidential agent of the Spanish govern
msnt. whose GctiOn, however, has not been
approved at Madrid. The conditions Of the
plan of adjustment were as follows:
81. Spain to acknowledge the independ-
ence of Cuba. 2. Cuba to pay Spain for
all public property, including the Spanish
debt to the Bank of Havana. 3. Cuba to
pay nothing beyond the above items. 4.
An immediate cessation of hostilities, and
repeal Of war measures. 5. Favorable
treaty for commerce between Spain and
Cuba. 6. To protect The private rights of
Spaniards in the island"
The document was signed in New York,
April 21, 1871, by Miguel Jarra, Confeder-
ated Agent Of Spain, and by J. A. Eche-
verria and J. NJ. Mestre, who is residing in
New York, asserted to a reporter that the
facts are as stated in England. He says
the Spanish agent was duly accredited, and
showed his authorization from Gen. Prim,
whose assassination was therefore
serious blow to the Cuban patriots.
The three signers had authority to
act for their respective Govern
ments, but not to commit them. Mr..
Mestre said, in conclusions: 81 am no long
er Commissioner of the Cuban Govern
ment. Mr.. Echeverria and myself resign
ed our positions some time ago. Upto the
time when we resigned everything was pro-
crossing as well as we could expect.
Whether the ne n Commissioners who now
represent Cuba in this are carrying out the
work which we began l can't say, They
have authority to act, and they have also
all the documents and papers which we
bad. However, as Cuban affairs now look,
think that perhaps we should gain our in
dependence without the assistance of those
or any other Commissioners

German Emigration.
BERLIN, Jan. 24.-In the House of Dep

possible to restrict emigration after grant
ing the right Of change of domicile. What
was wanted was enlig tened and judicious
legislation, which would make those who
now thought of emigrating value their
country above all others. Emigration could
best be counteracted by elevating and i'm
proving the condition of the people at home.
This was what the government was aiming
at, and by this means it hopes to check the

matter was that Ames stated this checs
was payable TO S. c., and others received
checks payable in their names.
Mr.. Ames-Mr. Cclfax, did not render
you statement of the sale of the bonds
received as dividends, and you gave me that
$532 check for the balance due?
Mr. Colfax-No sir. There might have
been slip of paper, s memorandum Of

Mr.. Ames--I ask you if did not give
you statement showing credit derived
from the sale of bonds?
Colfax L denyit.
Ames-I am sorry to hear you.
Colfax-You told me some dividends
had been earned, but were unadjusted.
Ames-Ifhe denies it and says he did not,
/ don't want to ask him any more questions,
that is enough for me.
Colfax read from the former testimony OF
Ames, and asked him what he meant when
he said: 81 do not know whether be or
own the stock"
Ames-I understand you owned it and
wanted me to own it.
Ames further testified that he called on
Colfax the night before he (Ames) made
bis first statement before the court, and
asked him (Colfax) if they understood
each other. Colfax said You will testify to
the truth, and he (Ames) replied, Certainly,
1 am going to do that. He now supposed
that COlfax had got evidence from the testi-
mony of Crounse that be (Ames) was going
to testify the same as Colfax.
Mr.. Colfax again read from the testimo-

The Hired Man.

Tho skilled workman whose moral char
actcr is faultless, forms one Of the noblest
types Of our American civilization. Such
workmon can be found not only in the ma
chine shops but on the farm. Such men have
not dreamed themselves into position, but
have formed for themselves characters that
are of value and worth, aud their services
are always in demand The model hired
man is one who is an early riser one who
looks after the most trivial matters about
the farm. II he secs anything that ought
to be done he does it as soon as an oppor-
tunity occurs. Let it be only fence
rail, plank, that is wanting, it is replaced
in its proper position. A great many lit
tie things are being constantly demanded
Of the hired man, but prompt attention to
them is matter Of very great Importance
to his employers.
The working.man on the farm should
endeavor to take as much interest in seeing
that everything is done at the right time,
and in the best possible way, as the em-
ployor himself. la this way he will rem
der himself useiul-nay, almost indispensi-
blc-to any thorough-going farmer who
fortunately controls the services Of such
man. If any Of the stock are missing, or
are out Of the fields where they properly be.
long, they should be returned to them
without delay. Good care Of the teams is
also an important item. When fed prop
crly aud regularly, an immense amount Of
work can be accomplished. If, on the
other hand, they are but half groomed and
fed irrcgularly, and it is an hour later
when the pow is started than it ought to
be, the work will drag its slow length
along and but comparatively little will be
accomplished. The horses should Away
be well fed, groomed and harnessed before
breakfast, as they seem to know they are
to be worked, and they eat more heartily
than they otherwise would
Very few know how to dt harness to a
horse, particularly the collar As a rule,
when the names are properly tied, just sut-
fcient room to thrust the fingers between
the collar and the horses shoulder and
neck, will be found to be a good rule. By
being either too large or too small, sweeny
will soon be the inevitable result.
A bad habit that some workmon get into
is the one Of rushing the team along SO as
to get q chance to stop and rest, nearly as
long as the time to do the work. Two to
three minutes is as long as the team ought
to be allowed to stand. Then again, some
let their teams drink too much when taking
them to the stable during very warm wealth

Flour gains in weight about one-sixth in
