Death as n Mirror.

One Of the most singular facts Of our
existence is the intensity aud rupidity
with which incidents in our past lifO
arc presented TO us when death comes
in a sudden or violent form, especially
in case Of drowning. An accident Oc.
Cured some time since on the Hudson
river, by which . number Of persons
were ptOcipitatCd into the water, und
nearly droWu.d. Among the number
was the editor Of Philadelphia paper,
who describes his sensations while un-
der water, and in drowning condition
to have been pleasant, but peculiar; it
seeming to lin that every event in his
past lifo crowded upon bis mind at
once. lie was scpsible Of what was
occurring, and expectOl to drown; but
seemed only to regre. that such an in
tcrcsting item" as his sensat ions
should be lost. This is al exceeding
Iy aps illustration Of the maxim that
'' Ike ruling passion il strong in death
a still more singular story is tOll Of
a person who held ptomis.ory note Of
ano,h.r's which had run for several
yesr4, bu. which, Ua maturity, he
found that he hod put it away 50 care.

Our Interest In Cuba.

OF tho fresh recnforccmcnts to
SPANS army in Cubu, two thousand
men have already been landed on the
shores of the unfuithful island. These
two thousand men arc the Uraat garrls
Of total reinforcement Of fifteen thou
sand fresh soldiers, which will DO
landed in Cuba probably within the
next thirty days. For the cost Of the
enrolment, equipment and tralsporIa.
tiou of this army, Spain has contracted
q fresh debt Of ten millions Of dollars
to tho same purties-thc BanCO Colo
nial Of Madrid-of whom she has Dor.
rowed fifteen million dollars just a
year ago, aud on tho same security, the
hypotheca ton Of the customs Of Cuba
Cuba is gradually hut surely being
devastated. Our trade With the islatd
was, previous to tho revolution, second
only to that with Great Britain. Ii
tue hopeless war, which We allow Spain
to continue waging against q cause
which her ablest soldiers have admitted
to be au iuYincible enc, lasts only
few years longer Cuba will be Sec
ond San Domingo, worthless to her
self and to US. San Domingo, in her
palmy days, produced moro than Cuba
ever did in her pRlmicst.
Very many Of our most important
industries. urc basod on CubH's pros
pcrity, DOtably our shipping and our
sugar refining interests. Tho follow.
ing figures Of our total trade with
Cuba for tue past few years are siguiG.
cant:
From 1873 to 1874 S!05isG9,OO0
From 1874 to 1875 G,7VO,OCO
From 1915 to 1876 100000
Commercially, it is unimpVrtaut to
us as q nation whence Wo draw our
supplies Of necessities, provided We Aic
not oyCrtnzcd for them. The whole
cost Of the war, which has now lasted
nine years, aud tho expense Of which
has not been less than four hundred
million Of dollars, has bceu paid, not
by Spain, from which Cuba never
drew one dollar, but from the uOnsum.
crs of Cuba's produce, in which list
United Sta tcs citizens figure for over
scycnty.fve pOr cent.
Spain continues tho war for two
reasons: First, 1t pays tho Madrid
bcaureaucrats and their Casino accom-
plices 10 Havana; and second, since
the death Of General Prim no Span
lard, however honest, can be found
plucky enough to contemplate the
possibility Of IN Acknowledgements Of the
independence Of Cuba.
Tho whole question is pStcly an
American one ; had il not been SO, the
powers Of Europe would long since
have settled it. We have no ExcCu-
tive worthy of the name, aud it re-
mains for tho American people,
through their representatives in Con-
grcss, to Insist gu tho protection Of
their interests.

Don't smoke boys, it is a bad
habit; don't swear, it is not manly,
and a violation of Divine law;
don't chew tobacco, it is costly,
vulgar, and a filthy practice; don't
linger about saloons, it leads to
drunkenness; don't roam the
streets at night, it is waste OF
precious time which could be spent
better at home. In fact, be man

From Hon. G. r. Gather, publisher
Southern Aegis, Ashville, Ala:
eve have received from the manufac-
turer, Daniel F. Beatty. one of his square
pianos. 1t is thing of beauty, but not
more exquisite to the eye is the finish Of
its workmanship, Il an charming to the
ear is the sweetness of its melody. The
piano combines the 'hissssA excellence,
towhich all frst-class manufacturers OF
musical instruments aim. To all who
wish to invest in Q frst-class piano we
have no hesitancy in advising them to
send the money directly to Mr.. Beatty.
We speak from actual experiment, and it
is with pleasure we give this evidence of
the reliability of Mr.. Beatty and his in
struments.
Best offer ever given. Money refunded
upon return of piano and freight charges
paid by me Daniel F. Beatty both ways
if unsatisfactory, after test trial of five
days. Pianos warranted for six years.
Agents wanted. Send tor catalogue.

C0LFAX, GRANT PARISH La SATURDAY, a. 1877 mo

My own experience with this
article has been very slight. In
fact the only case in which I reool-
lect watching Its operation was in
church, when I was q small boy
no matter how many years ago.
At the top of each window on the
south side of this church was set
a small disc of colored glass, put
there, I feel safe in asserting,
purely on ornamental grounds, the
Pleasonton tbeory not having
been conceived at that time. The
row of discs embraced ali the COL
ors of the rainbow, and among
them was one of a deep, purplish
blue; the light from which, if my
memory serves me, used to strike
somewhere near the pulpit at the
opening of the morning service,
and, as the sun moved on, crept
slowly down the church. Right
in its track used to sit one of the
deacons, venerable, pompous and
portly, on whom conferred most of
the interest of the morning, so far
as my youthful mind was concern
ed. From long observation I
could calculate to a nicely when
that circle of blue would reach
him, and I watched its stealthy ap-
proaches with secret but intense
delight. Shortly after the sermon
commenced it would creep gently
over the back of the pew in front
Of the unsuspecting deacon, and
tackle him. It's first and perhaps
most striking effect was to give the
worthy man a nose like Cronin's, a
nose which could he have seen
himself he would have Indignantly
repudiated. But he couldn't, so
he Eat quiet until the cerulean
halo had completely enveloped his
aged mob, giving it q peculiarly
equivocal appearance which filed
me with the widest Joy. Whether
owing to the soothing influence of
the blue glass or not, 1 can't say;
but know that he always went to
sleep under the treatment.
For some reason or reasons not
fully made known, the various dis
appointed heirs who commenced
what promised to be q ivly con-
test over Vanderbilt's will, have
suddenly drawn in their horns, and
have, by their attorneys in court,
pronounced with singular unan-
unity in favor of the will in its
present form, stating that the
Commodore was o gentleman and
a scholar, and that his requests
were eminently just and proper.
What has come over them all 30
suddenly is, as I have said, not
distinctly known. It is not, how
ever, beyond the reach of conjec-
ture, and / am inclined to believe
that the affair from beginning to
end may be summed up in the one
word "divvy." The other heirs
wanted VIM. II. to come down and
he has probably "come." Thus
ended what might be a memorable
struggle.
The city and surroundings have
filed their usual quota of murders
and suicides this week, only one
of which offers sufficient novel
features to merit notice. This was
the suicide of an old Pole, editor
of small Brooklyn paper, who
being tired of life went into Pros
pect Park, sat down on one of the
benches and took dose of poi
son. While waiting for it to oper-
ate he smoked his pipe and then
got out pencil and papsr and oc-
cupied himself in writing down
his symptoms until overcome by
the drug. He died shortly after
being discovered. RADIx.
