A very common sight in the cities and
large towns of Cuba, early in the morn
ing, is to meet a Montero from the
country riding his donkey, to the tail
of which another donkey is tied, and to
this second ones tail a third, and so on
up to dezen or less. These animals
are loaded with large panniers, filled
with various articles of produce; some
bearing corn-stalks for food for city
animals; some hay or straw; others or
anges, or bananas, or cocoanuts, etc.;
some with punches of live fowls hang
ing by the feet over the donkey's back.
The people live, to use common
phrase, from hand to mouth" that is
they lay in no store whatever, and trust
to the coming day to supply its own
necessities. Hay, corn-stalks or grain
are purchased only in sufficient quanti-
ties for the days consumption. So
with meats, so with fruits, so with
everything. When it is necessary to
send 10 market, the steward or steward
ess of the house, always a negro man
or woman, is freely entrusted with the
required sum, and purchases according
to his or her taste or Judgment. The
cash system is universally adopted, and
all articles are regularly paid for when
purchased. The Monteros, who thus
bring their goods to market, wear
broad palm-leaf hats and striped shirts
over brown pantaloons, with a sword
by their side and heavy spurs upon
their heels. Their load once disposed
of, with strong cigar lighted in their
mouth they trot back to the country
again to pile up the panniers, and on
the morrow again to supply the wants
of the town. They are an industrious
and manly race of yeomanry.-History
Of Cuba.

Old Fashioned Flowers.

The Germantown Telegraph says:
Most of our gardeners, who always
have a passion for new things, ignore
more and more the fine old flowers with
which our yards and gardens were for
merly decorated, and whose fragrance
was enjoyed even by pedestrians out in
the street or road. Where are the
sweet-williams, the verbenas, the holly
hooks, the petunias, the Canterbury
bells, the iris, phloxes, crysanthemums
and a half dozen others. They are sup
planted by new things not nearly so
beautiful or so fragant. We eshall make
an effort another year to re-introduce
such of these as we do not possess, and
will endeavor hereafter to keep them
up" We notice during the past two
years growing tendency to return
to some of the old fashioned favor
ties, and we are glad to see it. In
many of the newer plants we admit
that a greaterbeauty of bloom has been
secured, but it seems usually to be at
the expense or hardness and c0nStancy
of bloom. They bloom but for short
time and then, if not beautified by their
foliage, are of little value in ornament
ing lawn or yard. This seems to be
especially true of roses, which bursting
Il few buds, seem to have exhausted
themselves, and do not make nearly so
fine show as some of the old constant
boomers. If Systematically pinched
back the common morning glory, mas
turtium, or even the coral honeysuckle
will make ornamental basket plants.
The hanging-basket which has given
us the greatest satisfaction, contains
one plant each of convolvulus mauri-
tanica, variegated leaved honeysuckle,
nasturtium and convolvulus minor, all
old-fashioned plants.

even crust of bread, he turned his
face northward, but not toward Milan.
He had never seen it's walls since first
he left its portals, and he could not go
back now. Through Pisa and Genoa
he followed along the coast of the deep
sea until he reached Marseilles, and
from there he wandered through
France into Germany and Austria, and
then back again and over to Great Bri-
tain, and at last he reached America.
Still the harp went with him, and they
grew old together, until no longer the
cherished instruments gave forth a
certain sound" but its voice wavered
and grew thin, as did its masters. Still
it gained him his daily pittance and
comforted his lonely hours, and now
not many more years lay before them.
A few more days of weary wandering
and he would go to Join the fair Nita
who was waiting for him in the home
among the distant stars. His head
dropped as he drew near the end of his
story, and the tears fell from his mourn
full eyes and coursed down over his
scanned and bronzed cheeks. "Ah Cara
Nita, Bella Milano Manitic0 DuOmo."
"Would Monsieur let him look at the
picture once morep" "Yes, indeed,
and he might have it and welcome"
But no, he had no place to keep it, and
he would not carry it with him. He
would take one last look at it and go
forth again upon his weary pilgrimage
happier and more hopeful for that sight
of the old Duomo still so dear to him,
and he would pray the blessed Virgin
to reward monsieur for mis- kindness to
the sorrowful exile.
Poor Petrol May thy prayer be an
swered at the throne of grace, and may
your own hopes be realized in the happy
meeting with the beautiful Nita on the
distant shore.

PhOt0graphing COlOrs.

Joseph Albert, photographer to the
court; has finally succeeded, says the
Vienna Press, in inventing photography
to render the natural colors in the pic
ture by Photographic steam-press of
his own construction, without the aid
of pencil. 1 have seen some of the
proofs of such colored photographs by
the Albert press. An expert painter
could hardly give the colors of the OBJ
ject more faithful in living reality and
with a distinctness to the incest shades.
The secret of the invention consists in
the analysis of the white light into the
three colors-yellow, blue and red-and
in their recovery of the three colors
ready for the press. On plate, chemi-
cally prepared, so as to receive but the
yellow parts of the light, and the tones
of the colors of the object to be reflected,
the first photograph is taken when a
negative of that plate is at once put
under the press, whose cylinder is
dubbed over with yellow paint. None
but the tones of the yellow colors are
now seen in the impression. After that
the object is photographed on a plate
made to reflect but the blue colors.
This plate now under the. press reflects
a blue impression, the cylinder being
dubbed over with blue paint. In the
same manner he receives but the tones
of the red colors by means of a third
plate. Printing the individual pictures
of yellow, blue and red over each
other, a picture is produced true to ma
ture, the colors intermixing by having
been printed over each other. The
idea, long entertained and prosecuted
by Albert, to photograph colOrs, may no
longer be considered as not feasible. 1t
is hard at present to foretell what revo-
luton the new invention will produce
i'm the many departments of art.

Autumnal Woods.

Wilson Flagg, the naturalist, says of
our Autumnal woods that, while jour-
neying in Vermont, Maine and New
Hampshire, and north of these States,
he observed this remarkable difference
in their Autumn tints, compared with
those OF Massachusetts; the principal
tints in all parts of the country are
caused by two species of maple. The
sugar maple predominates in all the
region above the latitude of Massachu-
setts, and grows upon the mountains
and highlands. The red maple pre-
dominates in Massachusetts and in the
Atlantic states south of it, and grows
only in the swamps and lowlands.
These two species are not anywhere
found thriving spontaneously in the
same region. In the country north of
Massachusetts, therefore, the most
brilliant Autumn tints are seen on the
hills and uplands; iii MASSACHUSETTS and
in all the country south of it they are
most brilliant in the lowlands.
But these are not the only differences
for the tints of these two species of
maple are materially unlike. Those of
the sugar maple are exceedingly brill
liant, passing through all shades of yell
low, orange, vermlllion, scarlet, GRIM
son, and purple. To the traveller, there
fore, the forest tints in the northern
part of New England aud the British
States are more attractive than in Mas
sachusetts aid the country south of it.
But in the red-map.e swamps it is not
unusual to see wood dressed liz un-
varied crimson, especially after wet
Summer, while the sugar-maple forests
on the mountains and uplands are one
endless pagent of mixed green, orange,
vermilion and scarlet. The sombre
splendor of a red-maple wood, in favor
able seasons, cannot be surpassed by
anything in nature. But the tints of
this species are very evanescent, fading
ten days sooner than those of the sugar
naples.

ASsaSslnatIOns.

The record of attempted assassina-
tions, says the London Times, goes to
show that they are rarely successful,
even when skilled men atten pit the lives
of greatpersonages. In 1857 'ianori, who
was subsequently guillotined, actually
seized the bride of the emperor's horse
in the Champs Elysees, in spite of in
Vulnerable police agents in private
Clothes, who constantly accompanied
him in his peregrinations, and fired
pistol bout portdnt in his face. The
muzzle was SO close that the shot burned
the mOustache, but missed its aim; and
yet Pianori was reputed one of the best
shots in Italy and France, and had
practised constantly for two years.
Orsini's bombs were hurled at the en-
peror's carriage before the Opera at a
distance of four PAGES, and produced
no effect, except that of killing several
persons who were standing at consid-
cradle distance from the carriage. The
Pole Berezowski's attempt on the life of
the emperor Of Russia, which took place
in 1866, during the Paris Exhibition,
was made under equally favorable cir
cumstances. BereZOwski fired almost
from under the wheels of the imperial
carriage with "A six-barrelled revolver;
butan equerry-in-0rdinary, NJ. Rain
bault, perceiving the danger, made his
horse rear, and the bullet intended for
the Emperor Alexander struck the
animal in the ~chest. Even then the
pistol was misdirected and would have
done no harm. Another striking in
stance to the same effect was presented
by young Blinds attempt on the life of
Prince Bismarck. Blind was a first
rate understandable had won the VIM
bledon cup-and although he discharged
the six chambers of the revolver while
graphing with the German chancellor,
none OF them took effect. There are
many more instances of attempted po-
litical assassination, admirably con-
trived and executed by fearless per-
sons, which have one and all failed OH
account of momentary emotion when
the deed was being attempted.

Achilles Over the Trench.
ILIAD XVIII. 202.


So saying. light-foot Iris passed away.
Then rose Achilles dear 10 Zeus; and round
The warriors puissant shoulders Pallas flung
Her fringed egis, and around his head
The glorious goddess wreath'd golden cloud,
And from it lighted an all-shining fame,
As when a smoke from a city goes 10 heaven
Far off from out an island girt by foes.
All day the men contend i'm grievous war
From their own city. and with set Of sun
Their fires flame thickly, and aloft the glare
Flies streaming, if perchance the neighbors
round
May sec. and sal. to help them in the war:
So from his head the splendor went to heaven.
From wall to dyke he slept, he stood, nor joind
The Ach@ans-honoring his wise mothers
word
There standing. shouted: Pal.as far away
Call'd, and a boundless paEic shook the foe.
For like the clear voice when a trumpet shrills.
Blown by the fierce beleaguerers of town,
So rang the clear voice of Eakides:
And when the brazen cry of IEakides
Was heard among the Trojans ali their hearts
Were troubled, and the f1ll-maned horses
whirI'd
The chariots backward, knowing gricfs at
hand;
And sheer astounded were the charioteers
To see the dread unweariable fire
That always DER the great Peleion's head
Burnt. for the bris ht-eyed goddess made II
burn.
Thrice from the dyke he sent HIS mighty shout:
Thrice backward reerd the Trojans and allies:
And there and then twelve of their noblest died
Among their spears and chariots.

risesto the top and is skinned off. Then
throw it into tub to cool, and when
cold, pour it over your beef or pork.
The meat must be well-covered with
pickle, and should not be put down for
at least two days after killing, during
which time it should be slightly sprin-
kled with powdered salpetre, which re-
moves all the surface-blood, &C., leav-
ing the meat fresh and clean. Some
omit boiling the pickle, and find it to
answer well, though the operation of
boiling purifies the pickle by throwing
off the dirt always to be found in salt
and sugar. If this receipt is strictly
followed, it will require only a single
trial to prove its superiority over the
common way or most ways of putting
down meat, and will not soon be aban
doned for any other. The meat is un-
surpassed for sweetness, delicacy and
freshness Of color.
