Plantation Life in Cuba.
Havana Letter.1


At noon La Union was reached, and
volantes were taken by the party, while
the rest were given horses to ride the
rest of the way. Senior Luna, the son-in-
law of the late owner, and present man
ager of the estate, met his visitors at the
depot and extended every courtesy to
the Travellers After banquet of vast
proportions and elegant appointments,
the works were inspected. There is
little need to describe in detail the pro-
cess of the manufacture of sugar, as it is
the same as that employed in the
United States, the machinery being
American and English. There are :, 900
acres under cultivation, and about $500
tons of sugar and LOO puncheons of
molasses. are made each=year. There
are $50 slaves on the place, and i A con-
| tracted coolies. ~ ~
'Look at those negroes, how fat and
well-dressed they are" said Senior Luna,
pointing to a. lot of colored women SCOOP
ing sugar. Y u. ~
/ Indeed they did look as cOntented
as any laborers. They had not the dis
pairing hang-dog appearance of the
slaves seen at the Majagua tobacco plan
| tation in Plnar del Rio. Of this,
/ DSU, we were lllCIHbtu, MY WCAO
free by law or under twelve or over
sixty years of age. According to the
| law in force since September 10, 1868,
i all blacks, even Of slave mothers, are
/ born free, and the mas Ter is obliged to
7 take care of them if Trey chose to re-
main, making themselves useful in re-
turn. in fact, it has made httlesdiffer-
ence so far in slavery, for those born
free are vet children and they seldom
ACKNOWLEDGE that slave is siRry4a long
as he is of any use. The coolies were
originally under heeight-year contract
| system, BY which they receive their food
and clothing and 81 month gold. The
The time OF, most of them is up and
| they are now hired to run the machine y
at So to $13 month and found. In

L paid S5sto IS month and, except dur

A CLERGYMAN recently left Liver
pool in large Ocean~steamer, and, be-
ginning to feel uncomfortable after
leaving the mouth of the river, sought
the captain to learn if there was any
danger. The captain, in response, led the
clergyman to the forecastle, and told him
to listen to what was going on. The
clergyman was shocked to hear the sail
ors swearing vigorously, and expressed
his horror to the captain. The captain
merely remarked: Do you think
these men would swear in such man
ner if there was any real danger? %
whereupon the parsOn seemed satisfied
and retired. A day or two afterward,
during a severe storm, the captain saw
the clergyman proceeding with difficulty
to the fOrecastle, and on his return over
heard him exclaim: "Thank heaven,
they're swearing yet !" ,r.--.

JANUARY 9, 1880.
COLONEL STANLEY WOODWARD:
MY DEAR SIR: | have this day directed
to be issued to you commission as Adj
ditional Law Judge of the several courts
of Luzerne county. | am reluctant to
modify in auy way the satisfaction with
which confer the short term Of judicial
duty upon you. But it is only frank and
fair to say to you that it is issued against
the earnest and deep-Seated convictions
of valued frienis, politically and that
both their rights and my own inclinations
will forbid my promoting your success
in future contest over the succession,
involving as it will, other personal and
political friends. This term conferred
on you the law dives me the duty and re-
sponsibility Of confering, and any person
al motives Of my own in the matter must,
rs you readily appreciate, terminate with
this act, not grudgingly performed.
Very truly yours.

Why Don't They Practice Wha,

Mr.. EDITOR: As time rolls on the
Republican party has yet to make up
the balance OF its ticket for candidates
for the State Senate, House of Repre-
enlatives, memners of the Levy Court,
&c. So far they have not selected one
coored man for any position. 1t is we'll
known that without their vote. the Re-
publican party might as well dls5and in
this Stale. These colored men appear
to be just the thing to tack on to the tail
end of ward committee, and have a
very small show in their executive com
Inittees. These positions do not buy
bread and meat, and in fact there is no
honor in doing the dirty work for their
white masters. Why are they ignored,
is the question. Is it because they are
unfit to fill any position such a, Lsgisla-
tors, or Levy Court Commissioners 1t
looks as If their white masters think 80.
They are not treated so in Virginia and
other States. We are sure the colored
people here have as much intelligence as
those of Virginia. The large vote they
have in New Castle county should not
be overlooked. FAIR PLAY,
