According to official reports from
Puerto Principe, on the morning of the
9TH of April an insurgent force of 1000
infantry and from 200 to 400 cavalry
appeared before the encampment of
Cuidad de Arteaga, and began attacking
the fort on various sides. ATT o'clock
the most of them retired, leaving only a
few scouts around the fort, who also dis
appeared at dusk. Five of the insnr-
gents were seen to fall on the northern
side and three on the southern side.
This place is in the immediate vicinity
of Puerto Principe.
Volunteers in one of the numerous
stockades in the environ of Puerto Prin-
c;pe, being short of water, 2s of their
officers were ordered to bring in sup
ply from q lagoon in the vicinity, but
they had hardly gone beyond rife range
when they were attacked by the Cubans
and % out Of the % killed. The surviv-
ing succeeded in escaping.
Jose Antonio Eckhevenia, Minister OF
State of the Cuban republic, went to
Washington last evening to petition
Congress, it is said, for the formal recog-
milton of belligerent rights.for his coun-
trymen. He consulted with Aldama,
President Of the Cuban Junts, before
starting.

A FRENCH BEDRooM.-Now go to the
bedroom, and from the door absorb it with
your eyes, for never have you seen a pic
ture more complete. The walls, the hang.
ings, and the seats, are all in pale-blue sat
in (she is fair), edged sparingly with vel
vet of the anne shade, and embroidered
daintily with moss-rose buds. swathed in
still paler yellow leaves. But this descrip-
ton, though-exact, gives no idea of the eff
feet produced by the wondrous tissue, of
the incredible effect of delicacy and thor
ough feminine elegance which it sheds
around. The room is filed with vague,
floating grace; it's very detail is combined
to aid and sustain the almost fairy aspects
it presents. The bed is shrouded in thick
ly wadded satin curtains, inside which
hang others made of muslin so vigorously
flmy that it's folds seem almost mist, the
coverlet, which hides the lace-trimmed
sheets and pillows, is in blue satin, lined
with elder down, and covered with the
same vail of floating white, hanging down
in a deep tiounce over the woodwork Of
the bed. The toilet-table is the samoa
nesting maze of transparency and lace,
with blue beneath, and knots and stream
ers of mingled satin and velvet round. On
the chimney-piece stand a clock and candle
sticks of Sevres china. The piano is in
pale bois de rose mot rosewood, which is a
verydifferent substance, inlaid with plates
! of painted Sevres to match. AT night
light comes from above, where hangs a
lamp of Sevres again. In our day, with
our active ideas and actual wants, such
looms as. these are typical; they represent
the highest fortn of realization of modern
taste without its faults, or rather with as
little of them as is consistent with the eX-
penditure of so much money and so much
Thought. In these rare cases, vanity seek s
for another satisfaction than that of glare,
but vanity is at the bottom all the same !;
the only difference is that it is accompanied
by a true sense of art.-French Home Life.

Lorne from the recent marriage ceremonies
1t st. Petersburg is thus explained The
Princess would not expose her husband to
the modification, as etiquette forbade him
a seat at the Emperor's table, and there
fore she remained away. A previous ex-
p~erience at Berlin, where the Marquis was
excluded from q State banquet because he
is not of royal blood, was her motive to a
noble and wifely courtesy.
