TIE FINANCIAL CRISIS IN CuBA.-
nnanolal crisis of the most severe char
acter at present exists in Cuba. Com.
merciai confidence seems almost at an
eno,; prices OF neceasaries are rising
enormously every day, and some of the
newspapers have been compelled to sus.
pend publication for want of means to
pay their bands. The drain upon the
resources OF tho country caused by the
,nsurrection has been 60 steady und
long continued that it would almost M.
pear as though the Cubans were upon
their last financial legs. Gold has been
steadily going out of circulation and is
now at an immense premium, while
confidence in the paper currency is so
shaken that many people refuse to take
it at any price.

HAPS AND MISHAPS.

An attempt was made few nights
ago TO assassinate Mr.. David S. Gray, an
oil-operator of Titusyille, Pa. He was
walking along Church Run with lighted
lantern, when some unknown person
fired a pistol at him, the ball striking
him in the breast and intlicting painful
and dangerous wound.
Deacon WilliamI Edwards, of West
hampton Mass, was quite badly hurt re-
Gently by the breaking of a cant-hook,
with which he was rolling logs. The
handle of the hook broke and the iron
flew back, striking him directly across
the nose, breaking it off and laying it
sideways across his face.
Mrs Theodore d. Read, of New Ha.
ven, Conn, while starting out for drive
few afternoons ago, in company with
a maid and an infant, was so terribly
frightened by Jar caused by the strik-
ing of the wheels against the horse-car
tracks that she tainted, and on being
taken home died a few hours after.
The other morning a little daughter
of Frank Ethrldge, of Mendon, Mich
was burned to death. She had been hay
ing ague, and laid down beside the stove
and went to sleep. Her little sister,
younger was playing around the stove,
and pulled some fire out, which fell on
the little sick girl burning her nearly to
death before assistance could be pro
cured, her mother having, few minutes
previously, left the house. The child
died few hours after.
One afternoon lately the attention of
a Pittsburgh policeman was attracted to
three boys who were attempting to build
a bonfire on the Monongahela wharf. On
approaching them the officer found that,
in barrel around which they were piling
Nndling-wood, there was a fourth lad.
1t appears that the boys had become en-
gagged in some quarrel with the inmate of
the barrel, and that to avenge themselves
on him they had placed him in this posi-
tion and were preparing to kindle Il fire
around him The arrangement was
