Financial Troubles in Havana.

tIUHUClHI lEOuUIO0 LII 11uNuuus
NEW YORK. June 26-A letter from
Havana, dated the twentieth, says: The
prospects are that the general reputation
of the bills of the Spanish bank will take
effect next week.
Cigar manufacturers notified their GUS
toners that after next week they will not
receive paper money, but demand gold or
silver If this should really take place and
become general, there would be many fall
ures.
Address to the Captain General.
HAVANA, June 26-An address has been
presented to Captain General COncha,
signed by the business men of all branches
of trade, representing that in view OF the
frightful condition of financial affairs which
threatens the ruin of the country and men
aces the authority of your excellency, it is
the duty of every good Spaniard to come to
the aid of the government with such re-
sources as he can command.
Gold today is quoted at 292, and will
undoubtedly soon reach 1000, if q speedy
and supreme effort be not made to check
the rise of the rates Of foreign exchange,
which, like those OF gold, are also going up.
This upward movement, if continued, will
soon work general bankruptcy. For these
reasons we ask for the imposition of tax
of five per cent on the riches of the island,
represented by landed property in the city
and country, and by commercial and bank
ing institutions and others, to be paid quar-
terly, for two years, beginning with July !,
1874.
1t is to be hoped that soon the war will
be ended, and further necessity for extreme
measures be at end. The subscribers of
these views pledge themselves to pay their
part of the tax, and anxiOusly wait the
decree levying the same. A meeting is to
be held tonight at the palace. The Cap.
tain General will preside, and all heads Of
the different branches of trade are invited
to be present to discuss the financial situa.
ton.
The Emancipation Law.
Article sixteen of the law of July 4, 1870,
slavery, declares that the government is to
indemnify owners of slaves emancipated
by that law.
An annual tax is to be imposed on all
slaves between eleven and sixty years of
twenty-five cents each.
Increasing the Tax.
Captain General COncha to. day issued a
decree increasing the tax to seventy-five
per capita.
Penal Colony.
1t is reported the government intends to
establish q penal colony on the Isle OF Pines,
under charge of officers of the army, whittier
will be sent all traitors, vagrants and incor'
rigibles.

The college paper published at the Michi-
gan University by male students speaks OF
the feminine undergraduates in the follow
ing mplimentary way: "They pertina-
ciously keep their health and strength in
way that is aggravating, and they persist
in evincing an ability for close and contin-
ued mental labor which, to the ordinary
estimator of woman's brain power, seems
like pure willfulness."

ECONOMICAL" LIVING. - Whenever money is scarce we are told of economical persons who live comfortably on three or four hundred dollars per year, and obtain that small sum by raising cabbages i1 their back yard, or cultivating chickens in the attic. Of course during the present winter these economical persons are busily parad- ing their cheap happiness by writing letters to the newspaper. A Boston man furnish es the latest instance of successful thrift. His family consists of three persons Their expenses for food, fuel and washing amount to $325; and they defray their other housekeeping expenses, their taxes, and what the economical Bostonian calls their expenditure flor religious purposes'- meaning doubtless, the cost of second hand copy of Emerson's essays-with $275 more. According to these estimates, even if we suppose that the three members of this economical family dispense entirely with fuel and washing, they cannot eat more than twenty-six cents worth each of food per diem. What sort of food can be procured at this rate ? Does the economi- cal Bostonian subsist entirely upon dried apples and water. or does he treat himself and family to little shoe leather soup on Sundays?

THE FLYING MAoHAE.-A short time since we gave an account of a'fying ma chine being built at Auburn, in this State which created considerable excite ment among m echanics and curious peo- ple' here, The Auburn Bulletin informs US that the first test in trying the capacity of the flying machine was made Monday afternoon at three o'clock. Steam was taken from the stationary boiler in the en- closure, through 8 two-inch hose. The eight wings were given ten revolutions per minute, and were found to work well iI all respects except as to speed. The pres ent gearing is found to be insufficient for the required number of revolutions, and will be changed at once. It will require a weeks time to get up the proper gear, and in the meantime the machine as it now works will be exhibited daily to visitors. Experiments by Sturtevant, in erostation. fix the lifting capacity of mechanical wings at twelve pounds to the square foot of surface. Mr. Hunt claims that with "A feet of surface on his wings, he vii be satisfied with ten pounds capacity, and be able to raise his machine and passen- gers.-Poughkeepsis Telegraph.
