Philadeiphians Fattening on Cuban Slavery

A gentleman just returned from Cuba,
where he has resided for the past nine
months, states that he does not believe the
Spaniards can hold out much longer, tor
their finances are sadly deranged. If it
was not for the fact that the people OF the
United States are made to contribute the
largest proportion of the expenses of the
Spanish rule in Cuba the war would have
been ended long ago. There are about
100000 worth of sugar exported annu-
ally. About $4,000, LOCO of this comes to
the Uuited States. A few large houses in
New York and Philadelphia have monopo-
Ezed the sugar trade. These houses ad
vance large sums of money to the sugar
planters, and their only security is lien
on the slaves who cultivate the sugar planta-
tiOns. They have been making these ad-
vances for years, and they have come to
have heavy interest directly in the slaves,
and are, therefore, real shareholders.
If emancipation was decreed they would
be heavy losers, hence they are doing all
they can to crush out tine Cuban rebellion,
the success of which insures the emancipa-
tion of the slaves. Whenever the Captain
General makes an extraordinary levy upon
the merchants Uf Cuba he does not assess
small and great, but confines lis levy to the
few principal houses. These men imme-
diately call meeting of all the principal
houses engaged in exporting to. the United
States, and they add the amount of the lev 2
to the next invoice of sugar, tobacco, etc.,
to be shipped to this country.

Scenes aflthe New York Bath Houses.

In the evening on wOman's day the scene
is most singular and enlivening, the bath
being brightly lighted with gas jets that
flare and fash upon the waters and gay
jackets of the bathers. Every variety Of
color and material has been brought into
reQuisition for the stipulated costumes; cal
icoes, striped and fowered; bed ticking,
ginghams, checked and plaided: and fan
nels, yellow, red and blue, some cut bag
and pillow case fashion, and others grace
fully fitted, scOlloped and trimmed. Anus
ing transformations are constantly occurring
as the fair bathers enter their dressing
rooms in all the glory of hoops and founces,
chignons and floating curls emerging there
from sans hoops, sans hair, sans SO much
that constitutes the feminine toilettes of to-
day. And after the first splash-w hat Hebes
and what Venuses, what quaking masses OF
solidity, what shaking anatOmies are re-
vealed! Here wisp Of hair and pair of
skinny arms; there rosy face, long tresees,
and shining snowy shoulders flash through
the waters. Pea!s OF laughter and shrlll
screams ring through the air, and the bath
ers, lean and plump. are together happy,
save a few that shiver, with blue lips and
woeful faces, on the steps, or clutch the ropes
il the desparation Of fear. Among the reg
llar haDitues OF the bath magnificent
blonde is noticeable: of noble figure and
commanding carriage, she moves queen
like in all her motions amid the ;hrOng, and
swims with easy, undulating grace.
dack-eyed witch of about eighteen, plays
all manner of pranks under water and
above, turning sorumersaults, diving, float
ing, disappearing. and reappearing when
least exp cted, and is. in tact, as much at
home in one element as the other, being the
ackno wledged best swimmer in the bath.
where scores are adopts III the art. The
striking contrast presented between the
grimed faces and dropping forms of the
ingoing tide and the clean and radiant faces
and elastic tread Of the outgoing tide Of
women and children, speaks volumes in
favor Of the free baths. In city compassed
about by NOBLE rivers and sea air, and
teeming with wealth, every inhabitant,
however obscure, should have the privilege
Of bathing in the rivers and breathing the
sea air in safety. The baths should increase
in number year by year 70 meet the needs
Of the hitherto great unwashed,' until that
epithet is a term of the past or no longer
known. If the city government should
borrow one of the precepts of the Moham-
medsn religion, which makes cleanliness
obligatory, and furnish the means to the
lower classes, we shall take long stride in
the path Of reform.

How Women Were Made Government
-- Clerks.


-- Clerks.
ries of papers on "Recollec;ions of the
Civil Service" in 4ppleton's Joev1.0l,answers
the question: What sort Of clerks do women
make9 At various times he had under his
immediate supervision some sixty or seventy
OF the sex, and, therefore, writes from
knowle dge derived from experience. Until
recently the only work in the public offices
which, it was thought, women could do was
that of copying. Mr.. Deimar resolved to
make trial. go he called to his advice the
ladies themselves. The council he convened
represented three classes. The fret was q
lady about twenty.eight or thirty years Of
age, who had the reputation Of being the
smartest clerk and book-keeper in the
Treasury Department. She represented the
talent Of the sex. The second was young
lady about twenty years Ut age, pretty,
brilliant and saucy, who stood for the beauty
and spirituality Of her sis:ere. The third
was IAN old tsbby' who had been saddled on
the department by some vicariously chari-
legacy to me by the Register of the Treas
ury The first was both willing and anx.
ious to begin the new work The second
would not only undertake to keep books,
but also to try to beat the men at it. The
third bowed submissively to any fate that
might be in store for her Then others
were called in and agreed to join in the
new crusade. So, in few days, the men
of the bureau were thrown into a great
eommotion by the entrance Of women who
took their places at the books. This first
systematic attempt proved a marked sue
cess. Congress soon voted them an advance
of salary. The forebodings Of failure fell
to the ground. The women were not only
capable, but are more to be relied upon.
''They are strictly honest and faithful
They do not sham and cheat as SO many
men have been wont to. The women are of a
better class. Many Of them belong to fami.
lies who have seen better days. One was the
orphan daughter OF former Speaker of the
House Of Representatives. Three OF four
were related to former members of Con-
gress from Virginia and Maryland. A mum.
