In Cuba the Spring campaign is end
ing with the Spanish assurances COM
pletely falsifed. The insurgents are
acting on the offensive in the central
department, where they are steadily. en-
croaching upon districts hitherto deemed
secure from their attacks. While the
Cubans are thus aggressive and defiant
the Government is trying vainly to meet
the war expenses. The attempt to col
lect an income tax of 80 per cent having
failed, Gen. Jovellar purposes increasing
the export duty on sugar and leaf Tobacco.
This will, of course, press heavily on
the planters, while it will enable our
producers to undersell them. With
a scanty treasury and gold at 229, it is
no wonder the Captain General wants to

Mark TWINS House.

Quite recently rode out on Farmin gton
avenue to view the domicile of that latter
day eccentric. Mark Twain, and was much
edited by half an hours inspection Of the
premises. A queer rambling edifice of
variegated brick, possessing innumer-
able steep gables OF different Sizes and
two octagonal wings sprawl on the
top of an irregular elevation facing
of course to the rear. Fronting the
street il the kitchen, with a row Of clothes
line before it, upon which every Monday
morning curiOds pedestrians may inspect the
family linen. Opposite, commanding fine
view of the stable, and up a steep dec!ine
where Hog river, the muddiest stream i'll
Connecticut, trickles at the bottom, is the
parlor. Before it, upon wide piazza. are
scattered numbers of easy chairs of rattan,
tables of the same material; and here also
swings hammock. 1t is the pride of the
fortunate proprietor that ne two rooms in
the building resemble each other in the
slightest respect, indeed a glance at the
cd1 hooks and corners the projecting
bal9on.es, diminutive windows. and in
0omDrenansole recesses, would suggest
al architectural ccnunGrum of ex-
treme intricacy. To the left. on entering
the grounds are several Greenhouses in the
rear spacious barn and To the left of that
servants house, in which many family
might live comfortably. All Of the build
lug are dull red, variegattd with bright
crimson, and may be described as editices of
aboriginal extraction in their war paint.

What Dom Pedro is Doing.

One of Dom Ped1O's special objects in
visiting Europe is to prepare the way for
wholesale en- alton of the Mennoniues Of
Southern Russia to Brazil. The Gar vet
allows to these people four years, after
which. if they do not emigrate, they must
conform to all the laws Of the land, even to
thu performance of military duty-a duty
that is as repugnant TO them as though
they were Quakers. Whole colonies are,
therefore, meditatiog general fl ght. Their
vigor, sobriety, industry and intelligence
render them valuable as immigrants, and
the enlightened ruler, Dom Pedro, ma
turally envies the United States it's good
fortune in winning them as settlers.
Within ten days two vessels, one from
Bremen and the other from Hamburg, have
landed large parties of Mennonites at
Castle Garden. They bring the inform a.
ton that for months past the agents of the
brazilian government have sought them in
German territory on their way to America.
and urged them to take passage for Brazil:
ties TOR advice they were told that they had
better settle in the United States They
were informed that ten years ago steady
tide OF German emigration set out for
Brazil, and that the German government
was obliged to aid the emigrants in getting
back to Germany, the poverty, sickness
and neglect under which they suffered hay
ing decreased their numbers frightfully.
Two years ago the Prussian government
ordered the exodus stopped. At the same
time the agents of Brazil persuaded many
English peasants to visit their country. and
Great Britain had to provide passage for
them back to her shores.
The MennOnites in Russia have written
TO a well known German resident of this
city that the Emperor of Brazil will give to
every Immigrant l60 acres of land for 81 an
acre, the purchase price to be paid within
Ten years without interest. During the first
year the settlers are to be gratuitOusly sup
piled with food and the necessaries Of life.
The Emperor asks that the Russian colonies
depute representatives to visit, at his ex.
pense, the proffered lands in Brazil. Forty
colonies have united and elected four dele.
gatee, who will, within a short time. start
for Brazil These colonies are all anxious
to depart from Russia.
Although one of the Mennonites' leading
divines is the chief agent Of the Brazilian
government, it would seem that they are
not attracted by the Emperor's offer. They
are apprehehsive OF curtailment of their
religious liberty in Roman Catholic coun-
try, and they doubt whether Dom Pedros
successor will be as liberal and wise as he
lie; and, moreover, they fear that as laborers

Long Lost Father Found.

One Of our young rowrsmen, who from
his infancy has believed his father dead,
has recently learned that he was alive and
we'll, and went to Washington where be
met him. As the young gentleman had
borne the name Of bis step-tather, but now
feels it his duty to resume the name OF his
father we bt Iieye there is no improperly
in making the facts public.
When the Mexican war broke ont q New
Orleans painter named Callahan joined the
army aud went with our troops to that
country. leaving behind his wife and a
young child. In one OF the battles he was
reported killed, and We believe his name
was even published as being one OF the
dead. For seven years his wife incurred
him as dead, never having any facts or
even intimation to cause her to doubt
the correctness of her information. Then
she met and marIlad q Mr.. Croft, q
we'll TODD citizen OF New Orleans, and he
adopted as his own son the little boy of his
wife, and ever afterward the boy bore the
name Of his step.tattcr. Having grown
into manhood, he came to New iberia Ii few
years ago and married here.
Previously or about that time his mother
and step-father died, leaving several chill
dren. In the division Of the property, SO
far as we have been able to learn, some
question arose as to the ght of the adopted
son to have an equal share with the other
children, and then for the frat time some
one intimated that the elder Mr.. Callahan
was not dead, but living some place in the
North Startled and interested by the re-
port young Croft wrote from New Iberia
to relative in New York with whom be
had not communicated for years, aud
learned that about two years ago his long
lost father had been in New York. and was
then in Washington. District Of Columbia
whera he had este bllshed a paint store
Then he wrote to his father, and obtained
an immediate response, asking his son to
come on to Washington. when he would ex-
plain all; that if he did not have the
means to make the journey, to let him
know, and he would forward him the nee
essarv amount OF money. Soon sfterward he
left New Iberia. Joined the father " ON he
had so long thought dead, and with him
visited the Centennial Exhibition at Phila
delph;a. Overjoyed at having found his
father, whose name he had resumed, he re-
Gently returned to his wife in this place,
but she could not share with him his JOY.
for, having married Mr.. Croft, she now
found that her husband was Mr.. Callahan
instead. But ere this she has doubtless
concluded that "all's we'll that ends we'll"
We must congratulate the young gentle
man upon his good fortune, and We beg his
pardon for this article, which. however, is
intended to save him answering many ques
tons about the circumstances attending his
change Of name.-Ner Iberia Sugar Bort.

Lieutenant De Rudi0.

The gallant cavalry lieutenant, whose
marvelous escape from the Sioux makes a
thrilling border episode, is the same Rudio
who, January II, 1858. participated with
Orsini, Gomez and Pleri in the attempt to
kill Napoleon Ill by throwing hand bomb
shells in his carriage almost in front of
the Paris Grand Opera. The build
ing which was witness to the
act has disappeared. hevirg been burned
in the fall of 1873, and We think
that Gomez, who was sent to Cayenne, has
died. Orsini and Peri were guillotlned,
though not before the Emperor in a my ste
rious interview, promised to Orsini, his
former comrade in the Italian sect of the
Carbonari that he. Napoleon Ill,
would keep his promise and deliver
Italy frem the Austrian, which he
did at Solferino. eighteen months later.
The last surviving of the principal actors
in the tragedy of the Paris Grand Opera
would have disappeared also if the
Indians had discovered the retreat of Lieu
tenant Rudio in the uuderbrush of the Big
Horn. 1t has been charged that in the trial
before the Court Of Assizes, Rudio had
turned States evidence and been pardoned.
The lieutenant experienced, in fact, some
annoyance on that account when he first
entered the army of the United States. But
all this part of his life falls into insigpti-
cance, especially to the eyes of an Ameri-
can public. when compared with the recent
record Of Rudio in the Indian war,-Ner

Report Of the Committee on the Depart

The Committee on Expenditures of the
Department Of Justice report that after a
full and careful consideration of the facts
developed by the testimony, and the laws
under which the judiciary fund is appro-
priated, and the law appropriating the Ku-
Klux fund, from which Davenport got his
money, they feel compelled to report that
the President and the two Attorney Gen
erals, Ackerman and Williams, who sup
piled Davenport with the $34 200 from the
latter fund, diverted it from it's proper pur-
pore to one entirely foreign to the objects
of the law.
The resolutions recommended legislation
which shall prevent such abuses.
The minority present a report in which it
is claimed that the money was properly ex-
pended.
