Bad Financial SituasiOn-EO Taxes, NO

pet-Baggers.

New YORK, November 26.-A dis
patch from Havana says: "The finan-
cial situation of this island is daily be-
coming more and more involved. The
government is owing everybody, and it
is unable TO pay even the smallest
debts. Where the money goes that is
collected from taxes, duties, postage.
ETC., is mystery. 1t disappears in an
almost unaccOuntabe manner. The
pOstOffice department charges twelve
and half cents in silver for each letter
from the United States, and twenty-five
cents in silver for letter from Europe,
and they are supposed to pay the
steamers for bringing the mail two cents
per letter, but for the last year not one
has received a single cent. About one
million dollars only of the five per cent.
tax has been paid, while thirty million
dollars at least ought to have been real
lied by this time. 1t is reported from
the south OF the island that General
COnehs, while on his tour, threatened to
withdraw the garrison at various points,
aud let the inhabitants themselves de-
fend their property against the insur-
gents, If they persisted in their refusal OF
paying the taxes. or the twelve thou
sand men that were to have been sent
out from Spain, twenty-five hundred
aud ninety-eight have arrived, and one
thousand marines from the different
men-of-war in Cuban waters have also
been landed on this island at Guasiomas
A body Of Spanish soldiers, number
ing about one hundred, were attacked
by the Cubans in superior numbers
The Spanish soldiers, who were newly
drafted men, and among whom there
were number Of Cubans, upon the first
discharge of the patriots threw up their
arms, crying out, "Have pity IL pom US;
we are brothers, and have been forced
into the ranks" The firing Immediate
ly ceased upon the part OF the patriots,
and ninety-seven Of the former Spanish
soldiers joined the ranks of the patriots
Six of the Spsniards who refused to Join
were allowed to return to the Spanish
outpost after delivering up their arms.
Every Spanish mail steamer arriving
here brings out hungry hordes OF gov
eminent officials, all appointed TO some
post or other, either relieving old
or, if their influence in Madrid
is sufficient to keep them in their posi-
tiOns, new offices are created purposely
in order that Cuba may have the honor
of contributing to the welfare and pros
perity of the sons of Spain. The amount
Of money paid for the passages of these
officials going and returning is enor.

''FOr the Blood is the Life.r-See Deu-
terOnOmy, chap. xii, verse %. The blood
being the source from which our systems
are built up, and fiom which we derive our
mental as we'll as physical capabilities, how
important that it should be kept pure. If
it contains vile fostering pOisOns, all or
ganic functions are weakened thereby.
Settling upon important organs, as the
lungs, liver OF kidneys, the effect is most
disastrous. Hence it behOOves every one to
keep their blood in perfectly healthy con-
| ditiOn, and more especially does this apply
at this particular season Of the year than at
any other. No matter what the exciting
cause may be, the real cause Of large pro
portion of all diseases is bad blood. Now
DIR. Pierce does not wish to place his Gold
EN- Medical Discovery in the catalogue of
! quack patent nOstrums by recommending
| il to cure every disease, nor does he so re-
commend it. On the contrary, there are
/ hundreds of diseases that he Acknowledges
/ it will not cur; but what he does claim is
/ this, that there is but one form of blood dis
| ease that it will not cure, and that disease
| is cancer. He does not recommend his
Discovery for that disease, yet he knows IL
To be the most searching blood cleanser yet
\ discovered, and that il will free the blood
| and system of all other known blood pOiS
ons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral.
| The Golden Discovery is warranted by him
to cure the worst form of skin diseases, as
| all forms of blOtches, pimples and erup-
| tiOns; also all giandular sWelllnSs, and the
worst form of scrOfulOUs and liberated
sores Of neck, legs or other parts, and all

diseases. all Of which belong TO scrOfulouS

FUN AMONG THE PICNICKERS.
How n Young Clerk Happened "a
Kiss the Wrong Girl.

The worthy Superintendent of the Second
Presbyterian Sunday-schoOl-Mr. Hartwell
having promised the scholars a day of
recreation on account of their regular a.
tendance and the progress they have made
during the past six months, fulfilled his
contract with them yesterday, by charter
ing a train on the Decatur road, and hav-
ing the school taken about one mile beyond
Brentwood. on the Decatur Railroad, to a
fine grove belonging to Mr.. Thomas Oden.
The train left the Louisville Depot at
$50 A. NJ, taking about two hundred
scholars besides their parents and friends,
making a total of about four hundred per-
sons.
The day being so delightful, and every
preparation having been made by those
having charge Of the affair, the children
could not do otherwise than enjoy them
selves by playing every game imaginable,
and rOmping through the woods.
About 10 o'clock the older persons spread
a dinner on the grass, enough for twice the
number present, of everything that was
palatable, to which old and young did JUS
tice. Col. Martin Brady was on hand with
his old gray nag, and afforded the children
considerable pleasure by taking them upon
the horse behind him and trOtting around
the grounds, giving them a chance to see
the beautiful scenery.
The following named persons did all in
their power to have everything pass off
pleasantly and give all a chance to enjoy
themselves: Rev. DR.. HOyte and lady, Mr..
Ashford and lady, Mr.. J. r. Mason and
lady, Mrs. Scoyel, Miss Bette Scoyell, Miss
Ellington, and Others.
About five O'Clock in the afternoon, the
train came to bring the party back to the
city. On the return trip, a young man
who clerks in bookstore urged and i'm
plored his sweetness to let him kiss her as
the train passed through the tunnel, and
the bashful maiden finally consented.
Just as the train Numbered into the tun-
mel and Egyptian darkness. the gentle
maid quickly exchanged seats with col
Ored girl who sat opposite, and the latter
made good the promise of the former, to
the great disgust of the book man, when he
the trick which had been played
on him.

1.-The community was thrown into great
excitement by a tragedy which occurred
yesterday, 18th, near the river, between

day, when she commenced some of her i'm
pudence at Mrs. johnson, who was in the
yard. They got TO throwing rocks, by one
of which Mrs. johnson was struck, receiv-
ing severe injuries. Mr.. johnson ran to
his wife'S assistance, knocking the negro
woman down, and was in turn knocked
down by the negro wOman's husband, who
ran up The negro did not stop at this,
but kept beating Mr.. johnson with a stick.
Miss johnson, seeing her parents danger,
ran into the house, got a pistol and shot
twice, killing the negro woman, but miss
ing the negro man.
1.-TWO negro men, while cutting wheat

hood, got to fighting and cut each other
