CUBA,
ANOTHER F1LIBUSTERINGg EX.
PEDITION ON THE TAPIS,

HAVANA, Dec. 26.-The Diario says
Seniors Aldma and Aquilere have pur-
chased two steamers for the purpose
of bringing flibustering expeditions
to Cuba. General Jordan is to return
to the Island, accompanied by Aqui-
lere. The former will assume chief
command of the Insurgents.
The Diario further states that Aldma
and his companions intend to re-es-
tablish the Cuban Junta in New York,
with the object of regaining the inf1u-
ence and power formerly held by that
body and creating situation in Cuba
similar to that existing in 1869, by the
commission of all possible depreda-
tions by the insurgents.
It says that Capt. General Concha
knows much more OF the plans of the
Insurgents than what it now publish
es. 1t gives publicity TO the foregoing
because Concha dislikes mysteries.
Concha is resolved, as on former oc-
casions, to combat the enemies of
Spain everywhere.
A latter to the Diraio, reports that
strong efforts are being made in Wash
ington to obtain recognition of Cubans
as beligerents. The letter couples the
names of Aldma and Collector Casey
with these efforts and says the object
is to throw on the market the Cuban
bonds held in Washington.

Tribute TO Col. John III. Manly.


The Raleigh Sentinel pays the fol
lowing tribute to the memory of Col.
JOHN II. MANLY:
Died, in the city Of New York, on
Monday, the 9lst inst, Col. JOHN
HAYWOOD MANLY, in the 54th year of
hls age. He was the eldest son of the
late Gov. Chas. NJ. Manly, of this city.
Twenty-three years ago Col. Manly
moved from Raleigh to Galveston,
Texas, and thence to Houston, where
he practiced his professin with great
success, and was regarded as ono of
the first criminal lawyers in Texas.
He visited Raleigh recently in
pursuit of health, and to see his
mother and kindred. He went
from here to New York to con-
suit the medical faculty of that
city. The deceased leaves wife and
three children, who were with him at
his death, and an aged mother who
bewails the loss of her son with a
grief too sacred for the columns of a
newspaper. We have never known a
more elegant and accomplished gen.
t.eman than John Haywood Manly.
Courage and regard for truth stood
prominent among his virtues. Affec-
ton for his family, attachment to his
friends, charity for the suffering and
poor were among his cardinal virtues.
The mother, children and wife have
the sympathy of many to whom the
deceased was dear as a friend. May
they be comforted by Him who alone
can comfort in such troubles and
trials

Tom Hood, at lord mayors din
ner, once leaned back at about the
middle Of the feast and requested tho
waiter to bring him the rest in money.
1t is doubtful if King Kalakaua would
not be glad to initiate Tom Hood.
The expense of the chocolate -colored
Kings reception at Washington is
held, perhaps wrongly, at $50, 0,00O, and
it is safe to say that the somewhat i'm
pecunious ruler would be glad to take
ten thousand in cash and call the mat
ter square. We commend the Hood
plan to Governmental consideration.
1t would prove equally acceptable to
King Kalakaua and the noble army of
tax-payers-&. Louis RGouLIicnn.

ConpuIsory Education.

There came up in England the other
day case in which the enforcement
OF the law for compulsory education
would have condemned a family to
starvation. Louise Maylon, widow,
the only support of four children,
nearly in a state of starvation, goes
out to a days work when she can get
it, and leaves her Oldest child, boy
aged nine, to take care of the others,
and the school authorities brought her
up to compel her to send this boy to
school, though if she did this she
could not go out to the little work she
is able to get. The judge refused to
enforce the law.

A very prepossessing young lady,
canvassing for popular book, step
ped into the Office of a well-known
claim agent in Washington, the other
morning, and finding the broker ap-
parently at leisure, asked him to look
at her book. William politely inform
ed her that it would only be a waste
of time, as he could not purchase it.
"Oh, never mind that" ejacu-
lated the vivaclous woman, sit won't
cost anything to look at it, even if
you don't buy. l should like to
haye you read some portions of it, and
see what it is" The accommodating
broker took the volume, and, glancing
at the title page, commenced q perusal
of the Introduction. This finished. he
began at the first chapter, and read
carefully and L. surely along. 1t WAS
about nine O'Clock when he cola menct d,
and an hour passed silently away
Then the book agent began to exhibit
Signs OF v0usness, VIII ch were ap-
paareEtly uInoted by the broker, for
he lever raised his eyes from the
volume, but read steadily on. Eleven
o'clock came, and the lady began to
walk rather smartly about the room,
glaLcirg occasionally out of the win
dows. AT nnon the broker was still
reading aud the agent wore decided
ly troubled countenance. 4 few min
utes before one o'clock the broker laid
the book down, ieisurely donned his
overcoat and hat and remarked bland
ly: "That is a very good book. am
sorry that [ cannot read more of it but
[ am obliged TO go and see a man. If
you will come III this afternoon will

A WRONG CUSTOM CORRECTED.

1t is quite generally the custom to
take strong liver stimulants for the
cure of liver complaint, and both the
mineral and vegetable kingdoms have
been diligently searched to procure
the most drastic and poisonous pur-
gatlves, in order to produce q wonder
full effect upon the liver, and arouse
the tagging and enfeebled organ. This
system of treatment is on the same
principle as that of giving a weak and
debilitated man large portions of
brandy to enable him to do q certain
amount of work. When the stimulant
is withheld, the organ, like the system,
gradually relapses into a more torpid,
or sluggish and weakened condition
than before. What then is wanted?
Medicines, which, while they cause
the bile to flow freely from the liver,
as that organ is toned into action, will
not overwork and thus debilitate it,
but will, when their use is discontin-
ued, leave the liver strengthened and
healthy. Such remedies are found in
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry and Purgative Pellets.
