Trade with Cuba.

How many persons in the United
States appreciate the real relation Cuba
bears to the revenue by which this ma
ton is sustained, and to the few ships
which bear our flag upo1 the sea.
For the fiscal year ending in 1875 the
total value of our imports from Cuba was
500, 745, 527, and of our exports to Cuba,
S,5, 1856, 65S.
In respect to our imports and the
money we get therefrom to pay the in
terest on our debt and keep our noses
above water, Cuba is second, and second
only, to Great Britain. Here are the
figures:

Dodge That Didn't Work.

The Cape Ann (Gloucester) advertiser
vouches for the correctness of the fol
lowing: A fisherman with a terribly
dry look applied to an apothecary in
this city, last Sunday, for pint Of
whiskey, saying he must have 1t right
off, as it was for one of his chums, who
had broken his leg, and he'd surely die
if he didn't have the liquor.
Can't have it without recipe from
a physician" said the urbane andsome-
what unbeieving apothecary.
"But / must have it; there isn't time
to get recipe, the mans most dead
now," was the rejoinder.
The man Of drugs remained firm,
and the follower of the hook and line
left the store, exclaiming as ne went:
"Wen, suppose he's got to die, and
there's no help for it; but it's hard,
when just one pint of whisky would
save him."
We haven't heard of any ones dying
of broken leg, in this city, last Sun
day; have you reader?

Great Fire in Quebec.

A fire started in Scott street, Quebec,
on the afternoon of May 3Oth, and Ow-
ing to the prevalence Of high wind,
spread rapidly. The greater part of
St. Louis suberb is destroyed. From the
extreme western limit to the eastern
limit, facing the Notifications, then
southerIy to the grand avenue and
northerly to the third street south Of
St. John street, is burned. Only rough
estimate can be made yet. Thenumber
Of houses burned may be put at 1000,
and the loss will reach at least 81 ,OO0,-
coo.
A dispatch Of May 81, gives the fol-
lowing additional particulars: The fire
yesterday was caused by children play
ing with matches. IT was under con-
troll about midnight, after having burn
ed passage clear through to st. Louis
suburbs from west to east, extending
north in some places to the neignbor-
hood Of st. John street. The number
Of houses destroyed is estimated at
700; amount OF insurance is large.
Several residences inside the walls
were fired by sparks, but extinguish-
ed before much damage was done.
Three or four children are miss
ing, and are supposed to have per-
ished IN the flames. Owing to the ex-
tent of the fire, the water supply gave
out, and wooden houses and outbuild-
lngs were pulled down to prevent the
flames spreading.
May 80, was the anniversary of the de
struction by fire of the st. Louis SUI
burbs thirty years ago.

THE United States import about 9OO,-

been made in raisin making in the last
few years, the product Of California last

fact that the type itself is fixed on the
cylinder referred to, but with the ex-
ception that it has been yet found inn
practicable to apply the automatic
folding process to the machine, the
plan is fully successful The advan-
tage of the invention is that, while
giving the highest rate of speed, it will
save the cost of stereotyping, which ex-

sions, is otherwise unnecessary.

INDIiNA AND OHIO

Before our next issue the elections
in Indiana and Ohio will have taken
place and We warn our readers and the |
Democratic party generally not to
build their hopes too high upon the
result It may be that we will be de-
feated in both States. Grant has 4
thrown the whole weight OF the l
Federal Government in the scale for
Hayes and Wheeler, and that Is s
power by no means to be disregarded 4
in forecasting the result. Money has
been poured into those States as freely
as if it had been so much water. The
bloody shirt has been waved until
every bad passion of the human heart
that could be aroused has been aroused.
Every species Of hatred and malice and
all unoharitableness have ali been ap-
pealed to. Avarice too has been duly
Recognized as a most powerful factor
and voters have been bought and sold
like sheep in the shambles. Coloni-
zstion has been openly going on IN the
cities and larger towns. In a word,
every means, both fair and foul, that
the ingenuity and rascality of man
could devise has been used to secure
the success OF the Radical candidates,
and it would be hoping against hope
almost to expect the Democracy to be-
victorious. It will be remerabere'
too, that such result has been antic
pated from the outset, that the nom
nation of Mr.. TILDEN was an avowe
concession of Indiana aud OHIO to I'll
Radicals, it being well undeIstoc
that neither of those States was nece
sary to the election Of Mr.. 1ILDEN.
There will then be nothing of
omen to us if either or both OF IL
States of Indiana and Ohio shall s
Radical on Tuesday next. for it will
precisely the ult for which ALLOW
ance was openly and avowedly mac
when Mr.. TILDEN was nominated
Ot' LOUIS. Ii, however, both or eth
OF those States shall go Democrat
the case will be very different; indee
IN that event, the campaign will
virtually at all end and the election
TILDEN and HENDRICKS assured beyol
a doubt.
We have thought proper to spe
thus candidIy to our readers in ord
that they may understand the facts
they really are. Defeat in Ohio a
Indiana means no damage to c
cause, but victory will bring with
glorious triumph all along the lines.
have therefore nothing to lose a
everything to gain On Tuesday next
