A dispatch from Havana says that

New York, has arrived there, in irons,
from Santiago de Cuba. His jailors
say he attempted to escape from prison
by digging his way out of his cell, and
that he had made repeated attempts
to slip from his handouts while on
his way to Havana, and attempted to
leap overheard. He will leave for

VIM. d. Bishop, President of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad, has issued an order to-day,
requiring the conductors to collect the
full fare from all passengers, whether
they have passes or not. Under this
order, he says it will be necessary for
the President of the United States and
his Cabinet, and also the Committee
of the Massachusetts Legislature, who
came TO New York to receive them, to
pay the regular fare on their trip to
Boston and return, to celebrate the
centennial anniversary of Concord.
President Bishop claims that the order
is necessary, owing to an injunction
restraining the issue of passes.

Cincinnati Commercial, (Rep.(
If President Grant imagines that
a war with Spain, or row with the
Mormons, or a prodigious clamor
about the pope, viii cause the peo-
pie to look upon him as the sa-
viour of society, he is very much
mistaken. In the first place, the
United Stats is not so degraded as
to require a military protector. In
the second place, there is prevail
ing impression that, though Grant
commanded larger armies and had
large butcher bills to show than
Washington, the latest of the presi-
dents viii not be a more command
ing figure in history than the first.
In the third place, the madness for
more territory is not affecting the
American people very much just
now. We have enough negroes
who are new to the duties of citizen
ship, and we have elements Of evil
sufficient without the acquisition OF
the Inhabitants of Cuba. In the
fourth place, if spending money on
naval stations is the grand object,
the capacity Of our own coast has
not been exhausted. In the fifth
place, Mormonism Is dying of dry
rot and the railroad fever. Only a
few martyrs viii keep life in the
church. 1t does not seem worth
while to make a martyr of Brigham
Young. In the sixth place, the
doctrine of the Des Moines speech,
that the Church and State should
not be identical, and that the pope
is an old man who will bear watch
ing, is not precisely new, and the
Presidents sudden sensitiveness
about it all is not impressive. The
presidents duty of the hour is tc
fix a soft place to light, for the
wheels of time are rolling swiftly
on to bring the welcome day when
he will have completed his term o.
service.

The State Debt as an Issue Next
Year

[Farnkiin Review and Journal.l
Some of our contemporaries criti.
else Gov. Porter very severely for
not calling the Legislature together
in extra session to consider of the
ways and means of paying the inter-
est on the State debt. What good
would it do for the Governor to
spend $4,000 for an extra session
Of this General Assembly, when they
have already shown their hands?-
We have heard of no conversions
among our legislative solons since
the adjournment of the General As
sembly. No changes have occurred.
The Governor has done just what he
ought to have done-left the whole
matter over for humping canvass
before the people. The people need
a power Of coaxing and persuading
to bring them up to the point of
suffering a tax sufficient to pay the
current expenses Of the State Gov
ernment and promptly the semi-an-
nual interest of our bonded debt
1t is well known, that no man is
going to legislate against the wishes
of the people Nothing better will
be done than has been done, just so
long as we have silentc tcanvasses for
seats in our General Assembly,
This financial issue should be sub
mitted to the people in the next
canvass, in ali its features, without
a single other issue to distract the
public mind or divert public atten
ton. Men who are in favor of lev
ying a sufficient tax to run the
machine and pay semi-annual inter
ests on the bonds must boldly get
upon the stump and say so. Men
of a contrary opinion, must openly
and manfully declare their opinions.
Let there be no shrinking. Too
much of this has already disgraced
us in the past. So it viii be seen,
that we do not believe much prog
ress will be made in liquidating our
Indebtedness. until the public mind
is fairly aroused TO the dignity Of
the issue and the demands Of the
hour, by an open, manly and honest
discussion of these important ques
tions before the people, in all their
phases.

Tell US About Those Rings.
Columbia Herald and Mail.

Aol4lIuAd LLGldiN anu MAIL
We publish an article to day from
the Pulaski CITIZEN on the State in
debtedness, and another from the
Columbia Herald on the same sub
ject. The Memphis Avalanche
thinks it sees in such indications
evidence of the formation of a ring
to "bulI'' State bonds. Any efforts
that we were fully satisfied would
permanently exalt our State credit
we should warmly advocate, whether
rings or individuals made or lost
money thereby.-American.
The closing sentence of the above
extract expresses a sentiment wor-
thy of the central organ of the Ten
nessee Democracy, and one that
finds an approving response in the
heart of every man, irrespective of
party affihities, who is not insensi-
bic to all feeling of State pride. We
have not seen the number of the
Avalanche referred to, and are sorry
if we have been the innocent cause,
through our little articles on State
credit, of alarming the good man
who controls that paper, and who
has such holy horror of rings"
1t then becomes our duty to remove
such painful apprehensions, if we
may. by making a plain statement.
In its advocacy of State credit, the
Herald aud Mail is actuated by the
promptings of State pride, devo-
tion to its party, and a sense of COM
mon honesty. 1t has never been
connected with any "bond ring" nor
is it aware Of the existence of such
a ring: is not interested directly or
indirectly iE State bonds. 1t is to
be hoped that such ignorance on
our part viii give great easement
and relievemen" to the Avalanche.
Now that we have been so ingenious,
may we not expect like candor from
the Avalanche with respect to a ring
--or. combination (that sounds bet
teri to "bear bonds?" 1t has been
intimated that a certain railroad,
whose terminus is at Memphis, is
being so manipulated and managed
as to necessitate a defalcation of its
July interest due the State. Then
comes the appointment of a receiver,
to be followed by a sale of the road,
which is to be purchased by the
holder of second mortgage bonds, at
a price that will leave the stockhold-
ers of this road out in the cold. To
make the enterprise a bonanza, they
first mortgage to'the State of Tenes-
see bonds at very low priee-hence
the great effort to delay or prevent
the State from taking steps to pay
the July and January interest. viii
the Avalanche, which seems to have
a penchant for ferreting out ~rings, -
give us the benefit ofits information
on this subject? We will see.

SARATOGA DANCING.
What You Find Out by Observ-
ing the Dancers.

Saratoga letter to the Daily Graphic.l
The fashion of dancing is not at
all cosmopolite-not even National.
In Saratoga the different styles
make a medley.
If you see 2O0-pound man and
woman perspiring around, with their
pompous bodies tossed lightly and
springily in the air. arms swaying
and keeping good time and making
grand Persian salaams for a bow in
the Lancers, you can set them down
as belonging to the old Tweed
Fisk-Le-land- -Amerieus Club school.
Ifyou see two heated young peo-
pie tripping fast way ahead of the
music, taking short steps, and jerk
ing through a square dance as if the
house was on FIRE and the set must
be completed before any one could
take to the fire escapes, you can set
them down as from the plantation
districts of the South or the rural
districts of Pennsylvania and the
West. 1t is the steamboat quick
step.
If you see a black-eyed youth
with long hair, and a young lady
with liquid black eyes, and she has
her two hands on the young mans
shoulders at full length, and she
stands directly in front of him, and
they both go hopping around like
Siamese twins with wire springs un-
der them, you can wager they are
from Louisville, Memphis or Little
Rock. They have the squaretoed,
wrestling step.
If you see young fellow grasp a
young lady firmly around the waist,
seize her wrist, stick her hand out
like the howsprit of a Sound yacht,
and cast on a door-yard fence, and
then go sliding slam bang against
people, over people, through people,
up and down the room, sidewise,
backward, and up and down like a
saw-mill gate, you can bet on them
having learned their dancing from
the Morristown, Riverdale and Yon-
kers sociable. It is the suburban,
New York saw-mill jump-up.
If you see>a couple sliding gen
tly and slowly and lazily through
the Lancers, just half as fast as the
time, but keeping step with the
music, quietly sauntering through
the "grand chain,'' too languid to
whirl partners, talking sweetly all
the time, as If they were strolling in
graveyard, you can rest assured
that they are from New York, and
from the fashionable section be-
tween Madison Square and the park.
This is the graveyard saunter step.
If you see a fellow clasp a girl
meltingly in his arms, squeeze her
hand warmly, hold her swelling bos-
ON to his, and they both go floating
down the room locked in each 9th
er's embrace, looking like one per-
son, his feet only now and then pro
truding from a profussion of lllu-
sion and lace and so on, rely upon
it, you can set the two down as be
longing to the intense Boston
school. It is the melting Harvard
jacket-race embrace.

No Time for Anything.

The great difficulty in this eoun-
try is, that We have no time for any
thing. The very walk of an Ameri-
can shows that he is in hurry. An
EngIshman buttons his coat and
goes to business as deliberately as
he goes to church. An American
business man flies after the car.
struggling with his coat sleeves as
he runs, plunges in head -formost,
and plunges out at the other erd
without regard to his neck. Chief
among our accidents stand those
which occur because people jump
upon flying trains or after departing
boats. To wait ten minutes is some
think not to be thought Of Dinner
is not eaten, it is swallowed whole;
and when one comes to the dessert
he finds the fruit was picked before
it was ripe. Everything is hurried
through from the building of a
house to the curing Of ham. The
women who work on sewing ma
chimes stop before they come to
the end of the seam. The dress
maker sends home your dress with
basting threads in it. and no loops
to hang it up by. There is none Of
the slow, sure com mpleteness of the
old world about anything, and even
fortunes are generally made in a
hurry, and lost in the same way. If
any man we know is getting rich by
the slow and patient process of
saying, be sure that he was not born
upon this continent. Yet people
live as long here as they do any
where else, and the days are the
same length. Why is it that we have
no time for anything.-N Y. Ledger

Appearances and Realities.

This is the subject of lecture to
be delivered in Pulaski on wednes-
day evening, Dec. 1st, by Mr.. J. H.
Powell, Of Kentucky, and from the
Comments of the Kentucky press,
we are inclined TO think it will af-
ford our citizens a rare treat. No
young man within our recollection
has come before the public with
such flattering concentrations
The Son of Elk. Gov. Powell, of KY,
we'll educated and well schooled in
elocution, with a fine flow of Ian
guage, a good voice, splendid ina
gerry, and a keen appreciation of the
ludierous and amusing as well as the
sublime in literature and IN life, he
captivates wherever he goes. So
much we gather from his home press.
In a recent private business cores
pondence with him, we felt it a duty
to warn him of the hard times and
poor prospect for him here. His
reply was: ''Had 1 considered the
matter in a purely financial light, I
have no doubt I should have done
better by going east, where I have
always succeeded. Whilst 1 recog-
nize the fact that the Lyceum system
is not as well established in the
South as the East and north, my
heart is with the Southern people,
and it is much more pleasant to
mingle with a class with whom
have sympathy"
We give below a few brief extacts
from the press.

The Grand Opera House was
packed to hear the lecture of ]. H.
POWELL, ofKentucky. For an hour
and half that gentleman held the
delighted auditory spell bound by
the charm of his eloquence.
Louisville, Ky, Ledger.
The lecture was, in every respect,
one of the most powerful that it has
been our good fortune to hear for
many a day; and the universal YER
dict is that Mr.. Powell is one o:
most earnest and eloquent orators
that has ever addressed Louisville
audience.

The lecture, appearances and

humor, mingled with a vein of SEN

man of bright literary talents-a

which adorns the American lecture
