He DIP Not COME In November,
1858 rumOr was circulated in Havana
that Gen, Qultman was about to land on
the island at the head Of a considerable
force, tor the purpose Of assisting the
Cubans to throw of the yoke OF Spain.
Instantly 400 Cubans, who were promin-
ent men, either by their learning, their
wealth, or known detestation of Spanish
dominion, were arrested in Havana, Ma
tanzas, Cardenas, Cienfugos, and other
cities, and conveyed On board an old hulk
lying in the harbor Of Havana The
dreaded cloud OF Quitman'sl anding hav-
ing blown over, the prisoners, were at last
released, after an incarceration of sixteen
days on board the hulk, and allowed to
reside in the city of Havana, and after
some further delay they were permitted to
return to their homes on the condition OF
presenting themselves once month al
the Bureau of the Chief of Police of
Hayana.
One OF the prisoners, since deceased,
had managed during his forced residence
in Havana 10 ingratiate himself into the
good graces Of the Chief of Police, Don
Fructuoso Garcia Munoz, and when finally
allowed to return to his home called upon
ST.. Munoz and thanked him tor the atten-
tons which he had SO kindly shown him.
The reply OF 81. Munoz was as follows
You owe me no thanks. but you do owe
them to that American General Quitman
for not having landed on the island; for
L had positive orders from Gen. Concha
on the first arrival of the news of Gen.
Qultman's landing to close the matches of
that hulk and scutt!e her in the harbor
with you 400 men in the hold"
MANS DEPENDENCE Man relies far
more than he is aware for comfort and
happiness on woman's tact and manage
ment lie is so accustomed to these that
he is unconscious Of their worth. They
are 50 delicately concealed, and yet so
ceaselessly exercised, that he enjoys their
effects as he enjoys the light and atmos-
phere. He seldom thinks how it would
be with him were they withdrawn. He
fails to appreciate what is so freely given.
He may be reminded of them now and then,
may complain of intrusion OF interference
but the frown is smoothed away by
gentle hand, the murmuring lips are
stopped with Il caress, and the manage
ment goes on.

PARDON, Cyrus Plumer, who murdered
Archibald Mellen, master of the whale
ship Junior, Of New Bedford, was con-
demned to death in 1859 On the day be-
fore that fixed for his execution President
Buchanan committed his sentence to i'm
prisonment for life. The crime was COM
mitted in 1857, while the ship was in the
indian Ocean He has now been pardoned
by President Grant On his trial he was
defended by Hon B. F. Butler and Charles
P. Chandler, and the trial lasted about
three weeks Since his Imprisonment he
has conducted himself remarkably well
His pardon is dated July 16, and last
Saturday afternoon he left the prison
free man The deed was the act of q
mutiny, of which Pumer was the lie ader.
He shot the captain in his berth while his
companions on trial, William H. Carther,
William Herbert and Charles H, Stanley,
attempted the lives of the mates, the first
and third being killed. Plumer was sent
enced to be hanged, and his partners to
three years imprisonment each. They
served their terms. Fifteen years out of
the world, and now return to it after
such an experience is a curious matter to
consider
