Spirit Of the Times.
A number of wealthy Cubans
for several years resident in the
United States have become much
infatuated with trotting sport, and
think that, if a properly arranged
track should be laid out near Ha-
yaaa, the sport would soon become
popularized and soon be considered
Il permanent institution. With
this view they have purchased in
the vicinity of Havana a pleasant
location Coz a first-class trotting
track and are rapidly laying it out
upon the most approved plan.
They are confident the track when
finished will be equal in all respects
to the best appointed course in
America, rs no expense will be
spared to reach this end. The
stables for the accommodation Of
horses will be substantial and
roomy, so that the stock will be
comfortable and have all the adyan-
tages. One of their agents, Ool,
DELAY, is now in this city, securing
control Of several Of our prominent
trotters, and has already purchased
Z number of fast ones which have
made a good record on the turf 1t
is expected thai. when everything
is finished, sufficient indqeements
will be held out for owners Of fast
trotters, instead of wintering their
horses in the cold, wintry air OF
the North, that they will be per-
suaded to transport them to Cuba
and trot them through tho winter
months. The climate Of the Ever
Faithful Isle is delightful during
the winter season. When in the
North everything is frozen and nc
exercise can be given trotting stock
in Cuba everything is full of life
and enjoyment, nature bursting
with the lukuriant growth Of
tropical temperature. We are con

MS Ground For Divorce.

Raleigh Sentintl.l
A Raleigh lawyer was interviewed
Yesterday by an agriculturist living
a score of miles from the city, who
said he wanted to secure a divorce
from his wife.
"You don't live happily with her,
eh" inquired the attorney.
"No; we don't seem to hitch
wuth a cent" was the quiet reply.
"Does she scold and fret, and
make your home a hell on earth, so
to speak?" continued the lawyer.
"That's her, exactly"
"And you are prepared to prove
that you have a peaceful DISPOSE
tion, and that you have done every
thing you could to make home
pleasant"
"You bet l am. Anybody as
knows me will lswear that | wouldn't
hurt a flea, and that | move around
home like an angel"
"Well, / guess we can make out
case,' said the lawyer, as he took
up his pen and began to put down
the points. After moment he
inquired
dDo you think your wife will
contest the case: Has she any de,
ierse?"
"Waal, now, never thought Of
that" slowly replied the farmer
Il didn't know as she had anything
to saw about it,"
"She may have. Has she any
grounds for complaint againstyou?

way. 81 know I've got a hankering

interesting Speech by Prof. FaWcet
the Blind ParItAmenIartRn.


Ihe Blind ParItAmentartRD.
n. d. Conway, writing to the
Cincinnati Commercial, from Lon
don, England, says: Prof. Fawcett,
the blind statesman, left parliament
to be present at the concert given
by blind pupils at Doyershire house.
1t was the first time | had ever
heard him speak at any length on
the subjectof blindnes. His speech
was marked by its cheerlulues and
the entire absence of anything sem
timental. He was listened to with
breathless interest, when drawing
upon his own experience, he said
that the ideal Of one who is blind
would be to lead the same life as
they might have hoped to live if
they were not so afflicted. Persons,
he said, sometimes imagined that it
was hardly polite, OF might be even
cruel, to describe before the blind
beautiful scenes and attractive OBJ
iects, lest they should make them
feel too deeply a sense Of their
deprivation. But this is total
mistake. The best service that ean
he done is to treat them and speak
n tbem yithout regard to their
afiiction. They ara continually
and unconsciously cultiyating the
power of seeing things yiyidly
through the eyes Of Others. II
was within bis own experience
that things which had been de-
scribed to him had afterward be;
come so real that he could hardlyper
suade himself that he had not seer
them before he lost his sight. H(
dwelt most impressively on the new
hope that would lightup Che hearts
of the blind as it more and mort
became known that an American
had come here to teach the Eng
lish how such might be taugh
the means of helping themselves
and rescuing their lives from fruit
lessness. lie said he had hear(
that in America twenty-five pei
cent. of the blind were able to d,
something for themselves fac
startling enough to a communit.
which had never till lately imag

unless in very exceptionable cases
You may imagine the great etfec
produced by this address from

DR.. Harrison, who lectured some
time since in Nashville on Spirit
ualism, gave some instances showing
the wonderful rapidity of thought.
He said:
A gentleman had watched at the
bedside Of sick friend until be
was worn ont. Going to the fire
place he sat down, knocking the
fire shovel against the andiron as
he did so, causing a ringing noise
as the shovel and andiron came in
contact. Dropping into a chair he
was asleep instantly, and began to
dream. He thought he was at
home, and having some disagree
ment with his father, determined
to leave home. Carrying this reso-
luton into effect, he went to Will
mington, whore he made earnest
efforts to get emplOYiAent, but fail
ing, hired as a sailor on board a
vessel bound for Liverpool. The
vessel wrecked, and after being
dashed about on the waves, lashed
to plank, for several days, he was
picked up by passing vessel and
carried to Liverpool, where he land
ed and secured employment; a
number of years past and he again
shipped aboard an ocean steamer
and visited the various countries of
the globe. In the meantime he had
grown to manhood and amassed a
considerable fortune. After fifteen
years time had elapsed, he resolved
to return to the old homestead, to
| find the house torn down, his father
dead, his mother. dead, his sisters
married and brothers emigrated to
distant lands. lie went to see the
tomb of his dead parents, and sit
ting down by an old familiar spring,
he thought over the many years that
had passed since he left his home,
and as his mind REQUIRED to the
days Of his boyhood, be began to
weep, shedding bitter tears over the
error of his youth in leaving home
as he did, and as he wept, he awoke,
and the ringing noise caused by the
shovel falling against the andiron
had not ceased, proving conclusive
| " that he had slept but an instant.
