Cuban Taxation.
louisville COurier-JOuJnal.

LOUISVILLE COurler-J O'lLna!.
The Spanish government has ordered
the collection Of $43,000,000 revenue
from the unfortunate Cubans this year.
1t requires this sum to maintain the
army of 10000 men who must be kept
ready to put down insurrection, to keep
up the men-of-war who guard the coast
against the landing of arms and sup
plies for insurgents, and to furnish
steaiage for the horde Of specializing
officials who have for many years fat
men and the planters on the island
assert that they can not possibly paw
over $3.50, 900 600 taxes to the government,
and it looks as if there will he, if the
enormous tax bill is enforced, an upris-
ing to far greater magnitude than that
which broke out in 1868 when Lersundi
was Captain General, and which lasted
ten years, the carpet-bag officials in the
meantime filling their pockets with the
money ground out Of the Cnbans by ex-
tra0rdinary war assessments. Since
the close of the rebellion there has been
no change for the better. The Cubans
had to pay over $6,OOO,O00 export and
$15,000,0 900 import duties last year, and
they say they can not stand it, as their
agricultural interests were almost par
alyZed by war. The desire to control
their own affairs, as the British colonies
do, is growing stronger among the
Cubans. 1t will not be many years
before they will dissolve connection
with Spain and be enrolled among the
States of the American Union. The
first war in which Spain becomes in
volved in Europe will bring about the
above result.

Original AnecdOte of George
III Of England.

It is we'll known to all readers of En-
glish history, that the appointment of
the Prince OF Wales as regent, was
rendered necessary by the insanity OF
his father King George Ill, who was SO
crazy that it was necessary to pad or
stuff the walls Of the room in which he
was confined to keep him from knock
ing his brains out.
The Kings mind became impaired
for some time before it became neces-
sary to confine him.
As the king was at breakfast, the
great scarcity Of beef which then pre-
vailed in England, became the subject
of conversation.
"Why don't people plant more beef
and supply the demand 2" asked the
old King.
When told that beef could not be
raised from seed, the old man was
incredulous. He took some beefsteak,
cut it up into small bits, went out and
planted them.
He got up early next morning and
went into the garden where he saw
some snails crawling with their horns
projecting. The poor old man thinking
they were young oxen, called out to his
wife, Charlotte:
Here they are, Charlotte, horns and
all.D

Remarkable Shooting.
IScientific American

Another extraordinary marksman,
who is said to excel DR.. Carver, is DR..
John Ruth, of California, an account of
whose exploits is thus given in recent
issue of a San Francisco paper: CDR.
Ruth then proceeded to give an exhibit
ton of fancy shooting at a glass ball
held in the hand Of his attendant, he
taking aim through his legs, with his
back to the object. He also held the
rifle with the butt resting upon the top
of his head, the hammer pointing down
ward. He also shot with his back re-
cliDing on a table. In all these expert
ments he was successful on the first
attempt. Turning his back to the at
tendant, he sighted the rifle by the aid
of small hand mirror, and broke the
ball at the first trial. Perhaps the
most wonderful feat that he accom-
plislled, and one requiring considerable
nerve on the part of both himself and
attendant was shooting a cigar out OF
the mouth of the latter. Another in
teresting experiment was shooting with
out sight, that essential adjunct being
covered by piece of cardboard placed
around the barrel at its extremity. The
absence Of the sight apparently made
no difference, as the destruction of the
vitreOus spheres continued undated.
The following experiments were ste
cesfully accomplished Shooting a
ball from the head of an attendant, the
latter being blindfolded; the same feat
with the bundages removed from the
attendants eyes and the latter looking
into the muzzle of the rife; one hand
shooting with small rifle, manipulated
in variety OF difficult ways, holding
the rifle with the hands placed back of
the neck. In none Of these shots did
the doctor fail to shatter the balls from
the head of the attendant. One Of the
most marvellous feats performed was
the following: Placing a glass ball
upon the ground, the doctor shot in
front of it, blowing under it, sent it
flying several feet in the air by the
force of the conclusion, and before it
reached the ground shivering it with a
second bullet. DR.. Ruths wife is
nearly as expert as himself in the use of
the rifle

THE LARGEST YIELD OF CoTroN.-
The heaviest crop Of cotton on an acre,
of which we have seen any record, is
that reported by Mr.. T. G. Warthen, of
competiss for a, pTemum l oered ID By T tbs
Georgia State Agricultural Society, and
gathered 1891 pounds Of seed cotton,
yielding 1905 lbs. lint, or little over
four bales Of 500 lbs. each. The rows
were checked off three feet each way
and one stalk was left in each hill.
This distance gave him 1900 stalks to
the acre, and allowing 100 hollis to the
pound, he must have had 14O hollis to
the stalk in order to produce 6,891
pounds of seed cotton. Mr.. Mr.. David
Dickson, of Hancock Co., Ga, reported
in 1867 IS acre field which averaged
2700 lbs. of seed cotton per acre. He
estimated that portion Of his is acre
field yielded at the rate of 5000 lbs. to
the acre. Alabama Farm Journal.

The Jews i'm Russia.

The cable brought the news the other
day that the resident or visiting Jews,
not Russian born, had been ordered to
leave st. Petersburg. The explanation
of this arbitrary expulsion is not far to
seek. The Jews are cosmopolitan. 1t
is believed in Russia that they have a
close and effective organi-
cation of their own which is more than
d match for the Government police. Of
the persons arrested for Nihilism a
large proportion have been Jews. 1t is
more than suspected that they are ex-
ceptionally active in the circulation of
revolutionary publications, in smuggling
revolutionists into and out of the en-
pire, and in the frequent scrapes of
political prisoners. Moreover, in at
least one province they have been sue
cessful in converting Christians Of the
sect known as Sabbotniki, or Sabbath
keepers, to Judaism. Gin the province
OF Tambotf," says the Golos, Fan order
has just been issued directing all the
Jews to leave within a week. In spite
of the combined efforts Of the police
and the orthodox clergy, they have
converted considerable number of the
Old Believers" Finally it is popularity
believed in Russia that Jews who en-
brace Christianity are done away with.
Recently" says the Warsaw Kurger
Poranny, "a Jew Of this city who had
become a Christian disappeared. On
investigation it was ascertained that he
had been decoyed by some Jews to a
suburb; that they had coaxed and
threatened him by turns to return to his
former faith, offering him 1000 roubles,
and menacing him with death and that
finding him unmoved they had locked
him up in cell to think the mat
ter over at his leisure. Luckily he found
means to get word to the authorities,
and was promptly rescued.
While some Of the Russian news
papers advocate the granting Of equal
rights to the Jews, others insist that
they are an alien and pernicious ele-
ment in Russian society, and clamo1
for their Punishment, bag and baggage
from the empire. At present the au-
thorities seem to lean On the side of
persecution.

ADMlRAT1oN.-Every man of sense
and refinement admires a woman as a
woman but when she steps out of this
character, thousand things that i'll
their appropriate sphere would be ad-
mired become disgusting and offensive.
The appropriate character of woman
demands the delicacy of appearance
and manners, refinement of sentiment,
gentleness Of speech, modesty in feeling
and action, a shrinking from notoriety
and public gaze, aversion of all that is
florence of all that tends to indelicacy
and impurity, either in principle or
action. These are the traits which are
admired and sought for in woman.

Boys Led Into Crime.
Youths Companion.

During the last month or two the
daily papers have reported a number
of crimes committed by boys and girls,
and these not the acts Of petty larceny
to which an ignorant child would be
tempted by want, but burglary and
murder.
One lad shot another in New England,
but not from any malice or revenge,
but simply, as it seems, because he
fancied it Il heroic thing to do so. A
little girl Of fourteen, near the town
of Lancaster, Pa, deliberately poisoned
her step-mother and sister. A noticea-
BILE fact about the juvenile crimes is that
longing to educated families, not by the
very poor. There seems to be no ade-
quate motive for them, but kind of
bravado; the wish to do dramatic
thing which will bring them into
notice.
We believe that one cause Of this in
crease of crime among lads who are
scarcely more than children, is the
publication in respectable journals of
the minute details Of the trials for
forgery, etc. These news
papers are otherwise moral in tone, and
are placed in the hand of their children
by parents who would protect them
from the influence of low theatres or
flash novels. Yet no variety show or
fiction, however unclean, could be more
debasing or sure in it's effects, than the
accounts of trials for capital
crimes, set forth as they are in the most
dramatic and attractive shape. The
minds of pure boys and innocent girls
vice, which, if they had lived a genera
ton earlier, would not have been so
much as named in their hearing. Par
ents should exercise a careful scrutiny
over the newspaper which forms the
daily mental food Of their children.
Parents should remember, that when
their boys and girls read reports Of this
or that :" Great Murder" they are stain
ing their souls with a blot which, like
the blood on Lady Macbeth's hand, will
never wash out.

WOULDN'T GO TO KANsAs.-Sunday
evening while embarking on the steam
boat Commonwealth, a lot of adventu-
rous colored exodusters had among their
traps an intelligent mule, which posi-
lively declined to 90 aboard. Amid the
jeers of the sensible colored people who
were present, the beast was finally
hauled by means of rope pulled by bone
and sinew. We are happy to note the
fact that the exodusters excited the
loudest manifestations of ridicule from
their brethren who are too wise to go
cumming in a strange cline to enter
into competition with white labor

Deafness of the Aged.

Nothing is more common than to hear
old people utter querulous complaints
about their weakness; but those who do
SO are not perhaps aware that this in
trinity is the result Of an express and
wise arrangement of Providence in
constructing the human body. The
gradual loss Of hearing is effected for
the best purpose, it being intended to
give ease and quietude to the decline of
life, when any noise or sounds from
without but discompose the enfeebled
mind, and prevent peaceful meditation.
Indeed, the gradual withdrawal of all
the senses, and the decay of the frame
in old age, have been wisely ordained
in order to wean the human mind from
the concerns and pleasures of the world,
and induce a perfect state Of exis-
tence.-{ Exchange.

THE VALUE OF OUR NIGHTs.-Do we
not fail to accord to our nights their
true value? We are ever giving to our
days the credit and blame of all we do
and misdo, forgetting those silent, glim-
mering hours when plans-and some
are formed or changed when Heaven,
and sometimes Heavens enemies are
invoked when anger and evil thoughts
are recalled, and sometimes hate to in
flame and tester; when problems are
solved, riddles guessed, and things
made apparent in the dark, which day
refuses to reveal. Our nights are the
keys of the days. They explain them.
Nights leisure entangles the mistakes
of days haste. We should not attempt
to compromise our past in the phrase,
Gin those days." We should say in "those
days and nights"
