FROM letter published in the Inde-
pendencia Of New York from Havana,
it seems that the agitation in Cuba is
assuming pretty grave proportions. The
slaves of Cicnfuegos in the Cinco villas
Cuba, have joined the patriots in rebellion
against the Spaniards. and l have driven
away their late masters cattle to the camp
of the insurgents. In the Hoyos District
there was a skirmish between the police
and the military authorities and the in
surgeuts, which resulted in some blood
shed, and the latter retreating to the
mountains The Captain General has de-
clared the province Of Santiago de Cuba

frequent, and great feeling of upeasi-
ness and distrust exists upon the island
with strong probabilities of worse times
ahead for the unhappy Cubans.

WHILE Cotton used to be King in the
United States and has but lately handed
its crown and sceptcr over to Grain, one
thing is pretty certain, and that is, that
the cultivation Of flax and the manu-
facture of linen in this country is sadly
neglected. The official trade reports of
Great Britain, for the first seven months
Of the current year, shows in an unmis-
taxable manner that the demand in the
United States for linen goods is assuming
enormous proportions. Not only are we
the largest purchasers OF any single ma
ton, but. we buy more English, Irish
and Scotch linen from Great Brit
tain than all other countries put to-
gether. Up to the 1st OF August,
of last year, we imported 45,9lO, 200
yards of linen, or 46 per cent. of the EN-

an imaginary assailsnt; then, uttering
shrek like an owl, he flourished his

SOUTHERN Farm AND HOME.

Country EIjoyment.-A late writer
says " farm life is prossic. Il need not
be. There are infinite resources for in-
tellectual enjoyment within reach of the
country resident. He has always a
broad landscape and a sky with ever
varying clouds before him Beautiful
trees with their macs Of rich foliage /;
curiously formed plants In protusion at
his feet the constant work OF the great
laboratory Of nature for his examination;
fswers, minerals, insects the melody Of
morn at his rising; the " glorious splen-
dor OF the sunset Clouds" at evening I;
and every operation during the day, in
the termination of seeds and the growth
OF crops on the farm or in the garden, are
oil ready tor his study in the physiology
OF organic growth. The comparative
cheapness Of his land allow him to plant
a small landscape garden at little ex-
pense. A room set apart in the house
for museum, In which he or his chill
dren may deposit their collections OF
dried plants, and of minerals and of in.
sects, and study the transformation of
worms to glittering butterflies--these
and . thousand other resources for
study are always before him TO occupy a
few leisure minutes or hours he may
have to spare. For q growing family,
what can be more delightful than an
occasional holiday ramble through woods
or on the banksof streams, the collection
tiwiId howers, or the pencil sketches Of
old twisted trees, OF mirrowed streams,
wild rocks, or blue hills9 This
is certainly less prosaic than the cramped
visions Of brick walls and stone pave
ments Of citiea-l Country Gentleman.

Going to Europe and Coming Back.

Everybody who has cross d the Allan.
tic--and who does not cross in these
days ?-must have observed the msrke d
difference between going out and coming
back. Sailing from home, one might
imagine, would be rather saddening, and
sailing to it rather joyous than other.
wise. But just the contrary is gener-
ally true, particularly among men, who,
compared with women, are seldom sea
sick. On the outward voyage the pas.
sengers-those that are well, at least
are apt to be cheerful and lively, desir-
Gus to get up and take part in private
concerts, theatricals and the like to be
full OF spirit, and ready for any kind of
amusement. On The home voyage, they
seem, as rule, listless and weary they
have no social enterprise they do not
care to do anything. Efforts for enter
tainments are likely to prove unavailing ;
the animation of the outward passage is
extinct. This is equally the case wheth-
er travellers have made their first, second
or twentieth trip to Europe to go is one
thing, to come is wholly another. Cross.
ing and recrossing the ocean are not un.
like the lover, hurrying, eager, expectaut
impasioned, to his wedding, and the
husband of year. repairing by easy
stages to join his wife. In both instances
it is the delight and imagination Of antici-
patton contrasted with the consciousness
and a certain disappointment of expert
ence. The old world, unvi>ited or revis
tied, appeals to hope, to ideal possibiIi-
ties, is part of the future when we 90
out. Coming back, the dream has been
dreamed the feast has been eaten; the
has been, and our horizon

A DAugerous Torpor.

Torpor or inactivity Of the kidneys is Sc
riously dangerous to those organs, since il is
the precedent of diseases which des roy
their substance and endanger life. This
sluggishness may be overcome by stimulsr

medicine gives to their evacuative functi n
oeunteracts any tendency to congestion
which may exist in their tissues. Both they
and their associate organ, the bladder, are
invigorated as well as gently stimulated by

upon the stomach, liver, and bowels, and

An El0pement Frustrated,

An English girl, near Manchester,
tied a string to her toe and let it--the
string, not the toe hang out OF the window
for gentleman friend to pull in order
that she might not miss her music lesson
The rector OF the church, ii is further
stated, hearing of the arrangement, re.
fused the couple the sacrament. And
this reminds us OF little story. Once
upon time a young lady who desired to
get up with the lark in order to 20 on an
eloping tour, adopted the English girls
plan, and the lover was to be on hand at
daybreak to give the signal. The string
used Tor the pedal communication was
stout cord, and one end was dropped out
of the third story window into the back
yard ami the other end of course was at
tached to the damseps great toe. And
the legend runs that a healthy goat OF
the William persuasion arose early next
morning to look tor the early worm, as
it were, and wandered into the yard
after eating up all the old tomato cans,
barrel'staves, sndsbroken crockery ware,
he found the string and took that in as
dessert. As soon as the cord was drawn
taut the goat stood up on its hind legs
and gave the string an impulsive jerk
The girl swoke. The goat gave smother
sudden pull, and the maiden Jumped
ont OF b d with smothered cry OF pain.
Then she stopped down to detach tine
cord just as the ridiculous beast gave
another violent jerk, and she lost her
equilibrium-and her toe, too, almost,
the cord cutting into the tender flesh.
She sprang to the window and called in
hoaree whisper Stop pulling, Charles
I'll be down In a minute" Then she
made another effort to unite the cord,
but that diabolicsl goat gave his head
several angry bobs, and each time the
girl gave cry OF pain Again she softly
called out in the darkness: "Charles,
If you don't stop jerking that way ri
not come down at all p She was an
swered by another savage pull, and the
cry Of anguish that escaped from her lips
brought her mother into the room with
a look Of alright and lighted lamp
The young lady tainted, the elopement
was nipped in the bud, and the disap.
pointed msiden's big toe was sore for two
weeks. The goat escaped.
