Cuba.

The Cubans certainly deserve better
fate than seems to await them. For
upward of ten years they have main
tanned a more or less desperate warfare
against overwhelming odds. No Amer
lean who believes in the righteousness of
the struggle of the revolutionary fathers
to throw of the yoke of Great Britain
can be prepared to say that the Cubans
have not been justified in seeking liberia
ton from the avarice and cruelty of
Spanish dominion, whose character
seems to have grown worse, rather than
better, in the school of adversely, which
chastised it with the loss of nearly all its
colonial possessions. Ultimately Cuba
must gravitate to our American system.
Commercial instincts and political aspi-
rations must sooner or later give an
irresistible impulse in that direction.
But this is no sufficient reason why the
Spanish authorities should lavish insults
on the American flag, and no sufficient
reason why our Washington authorities
should not promptly and effectually re-
sent those insults GGlUeSton Neaos.

Illustrating Methods.

BEFORE the days of chlorotorm there
was quack in San Francisco who adver-
tised tooth-drawing without pain. The
patient was placed in the chair, and the
instrument applied to his tooth with a
wrench, followed by roar from the I'M
pleasantly surprised sufferer. "Stop,"
cried the dentist. Compose yourself.
told you / would give you no pain,
but I only just gave you twinge as a
specimen, to show you Cartwright's
method of operating" Again the in
strument was applied-another tug, an
other roar. ''Now don't be impatient !;
that is Dumerge's way; be seated and be
calm; you will now be sensible of the
superiority of my method" Another
application-another tug, another roar
"Pray be quiet; this is Parkinsons mode,
and you don't like it; no wonder" By
this time the tooth hung by thread, and
whipping it out the operator exultingly
exclaimed: This is my mode of tooth
drawing without pain, and you are now
enabled to compare it with the operation
of Cartwright, Dumerge and Parkinson"

A Lifelike Picture.

A lady who is now visiting this city
and whose eyes and ears are always open
to new and strange sights and sounds,
thus records the impression made upon
her by the typical young woman of
Boston,
The Boston girl leads a complicated
life. She is devoted to art" She is a
woman of designs but she puts them
all on canvas. She talks to you about
Studies" and shapes, and the new
designs she is putting on the "bis-
cult" She walks Commonwealth av-
enue wrapped in visions. She is as
inaccessible as a mermaid when you
fondly imagine her meditations are solely
on the brilliancy of the last remark with
which her presence has inspired you, she
is really occupied with her secret cogi-
tations upon the lovely, iridescent pitch
er, and wondering if any potter would
throw her that particular shape in ma
tive clay. The Boston girl carves stately
mantels and a)luring cabinets; she mod
les of mornings, and shows marvellous
skill in portrait busts; she haunts the
artists studios; she frequents the Muse
UNI of Fine Arts and spends much time
in the Atheneum, and is q devotee of
the loan exhibitions. She is born Trans
cendentalist. Incongruous as it may
seem, she is also an energetic diffuser of
useful knowledge; an humble follower of
Eastlake; fervent disciple of Herbert
Spencer, and also an eloquent advocate
of woman's suffrage. With an air of
resignation she informs you that it is not
that she particularly cares to vote, but
that she has solemn conviction that it
is her duty. This fair Melusina never
misses a lecture upon art. She revels in
ancient autotypes and etchings; she talks
learnedly to you of Michael Angeles
"Fates," and the different interpretations
of the TRANSPORTATION. And the latest
innovation of this fair saint is, that she
turns her boudoir into an oratory, and
before an elegantly carved prie-dieu she
kneels gracefully and presents her petit
tons in the most faultless of modern
classics. For being of refined taste and
elegant culture is she-the fair Boston

Employment Of Fashionable Women.

The fashionable woman of New York
spends much of her time polishing her
nails. Her tool an article somewhat like
the wooden handles or holders for blot
ting paper-a narrow strip of ebony,
ivory, OF india rubber, with a knob on
one side and surface of chamois skin
on the other. Some of these polishers
are fancifully made, and $40 is not an
unusual price; but cheap ones do the
work as we'll. The essentials are pol
ishing substance and plenty of industry.
A mixture is sold in the stores ut pretty
high price, and it has beautiful name
and label; but is simple composition
of rotten stone, oil and rouge. This stuff
is daubed on the rubber, and assiduous
friction does the rest. But the polishing
is not all done on the finger nails. This
is the season when most metropolitan
women battle more or less at the sea-
shore, and show their feet in doing so.
Time was when the female bather hid
the corns, bunions, and little unshapli-
nesses of their feet in slippers, or stuck
them out of sight in the sand, when not
in the water; but it is different now.
The attractiveness of FURNISHED nails is
deemed by her TO more than compensate
for any little blemishes, and so she takes
pains to show her feet. The change is a
marked feature in the scenes at Coney
Island, where thousands of women are
in the water every afternoon.-C Cor. Gin

Quick Time.

The train which recently conveyed
the Lord Mayor and his party from Lon
don to Scarborough, July 81, consisting
of one engine and six carriages, left
Kings Cross at 80, and ran straight
through to Grantham, distance of 105
miles, at an average rate of So l-2miles an
hour. The run from Grantham to York,
81 miles further on, was completed by
5 :36 p. M, three hours and thirty-seven
minutes and half after leaving London,
allowing ten minutes stop at Grant
ham. The speed from Grantham to
Newark averaged SO miles an hour, from
Grantham to Retford So 2-3 miles, from
Grantham to Doncaster So IA, from
Grantham to Selby So, and from Grant
ham to York 81 miles an hour. Such an
average speed as this last, over 80 1-2

 Mr. Edmunds introduced resolution in structing the Judiciary Committee to inquire whether in the settlement between the United States and railroad companies, under the act of 1875, any discrimination had been made by United States officers in favor of one or more of such companies and against other compa- n;es under the same or similar circumstances, and if so on what ground or authority it was so done.

An Official Levee-The Lord Mayors
 Attitude.
 DUBLIN, Jan. 27.-The Lord Mayor and other prominent officials of the city and members of the town council were present to-day at the levee of the Lord Lieutenant the Duke of Marlborough. The Lord Mayor re- fused to allow himself to be influenced in the matter by the deolination of the Duke to at tend the proposed but now abandoned Man sion House banquet on tn, 25th of February. He held that he could not drag the question of the propriety of his action in having presided ct the late meeting of the Home Rulers and the issues raised by the Duke concerning it into his official relations to the Viceroy, nor make it the ground for neglecting to show respect to Her Majesty's Government through omission of the customary cour- tesy toward her representative in Ireland. Lord Mayor Gray reaf1rms that there was nothing in the fact of his having presided at the Home Rule meeting inconsistent with his duty to the Government, inasmuch as noth- ing was said or done at the meeting capable of being construed into an act of disloyalty to ths crown or at variance with the laws. The Viceroy's leyee was largely attended and passed of pleasantly.

Enc Riddle Case-DelibcraGiOnO of the

Enc Riddle Case-DeIibcrationo of the
 Grand Jury.
 NEW LONDON, Jan. 27.-The case of William B. Riddle, of Norwich, who is charged with the murder of his wife by arsenical poisoning. came before the grand jury at the opening of the January term Of the Superior Court for New London county in this city to-day. The grand jury was charged briefly by Judge Hitchcock and retired to their room for delib- eration about p. m., and after 8 session of two hours adjourned until Wednesday at 10 a. m. State Attorney Waller laid before the grand jury an indictment against Riddle, charging him with murder in the first degree. A large number of witnesses have been sum- moned and their examination will probably occupy the greater part of Wednesday.
 Riddle did not appear in court, but was conducted from the jail immediately into the room where the sessions of the grand jury are held. He was neatly attired and showed the effects of three hours visit of tonsorial artist in his freshly died moustache and hair. The defense will be that Mrs. R. $ death was caused by patent medicines, of which arsenic is the principal ingredient, and it will be at tempted to account in this way for the six grains of arsenic found in the stomach of de- ceased. In case of a true bill being found against Riddle the trial will probably be pro- ceeded with at some time during the present term of the court, and it is expected to ocou- py about three weeks.

Murder i'm am Insane Asylum.
 WORCESTER, Jan. 27.-A case of homicide in the State Asylum for Chronic Insane has just come to light. Thomas Dwyer, an in mate, was killed on Thursday last by Warren Rice, another patient, by having his skull fractured. Rice, who worked outside the wards, secreted a large piece of iron when he came in to dinner, and struck Dwyer three blows, fracturing his skull so that he died in twenty minutes. Rice had been an inmate since 1860, with few spells of appa- rent sanity. During his last release, in 1864, he killed his father and was recommitted. Both men were quarrelsome, but no serious dispute had ever occurred. The matter had been kept very quiet, and it is probable an in- quest will be held.

 MorrOvv's Band-JOsie Meeker Before
 the Indian Commf ttee.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-The report of Major Morrow, giving the details of his pursuit of Victorias band of Indians, has been received at headquarters here. He set out with S1 men and IS Indian scouts. Four times in their pursuit they made successful movements upon the Indian camp, only to find Victoria had eluded them and escaped. Twice they found his camp occupied and dispersed them. Several Indians were killed and wounded in the different attacks and a large number of hostiles and animals captured. One soldier was killed, three of the scouts wounded and one killed. Finally Victoria was found en- trenched in Mongallen mountains so strongly that they could not be dislodged. Men and animals were in an exhausted condition, being three days and nights without water, and Major Morrow was compelled to withdraw and return to Fort Bsyar.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Adjutant General Townsend today received dispatch from Santa Fe, N M, dated the 18th, stating that Major Morrow, who was pursuing Victoria's band of Apaches, was forced to go into Ali Calient from the San Mateo mountains for ra- tions. His command had been in the noun tains three days without rations fighting daily. In the last days fight Marrow captured 100 horses and mules. The Indians abandoned 8 large quantity of property captured in Mexico. Morrow is reported as having punished the Indians severely. It is thought that the band is composed of all the Indians who have been living in Mexico. The mountains are very rough, with scarcely any grass. The loss of the troops occasioned by horses being disabled has proved quite severe. No official information has been received concerning the report of the killing of Victoria. General Sherman does not doubt, however, but that it is true.
 Miss Josephine Meeker was examined in secret session of the House Committee on Indian Affairs to day. It is understood that her examination did not extend to the personal usage of the prisoners by the Indians. That branch of the subject will be taken up on Thursday. Her testimony to day had refer ence mainly to the relations of the different parties of Utes under Chief Douglass and Jack. The former want civilization and the latter want to retain their old savage habits.

The reservoir situated at the back of the town burst and added it's bulk of water to completethe destruction already made by the torrents of water rushing through the streets. Whole houses were washed away and entire families disappeared. It is es- timated that two hundred lives were lost. Some forty-fve bodies were picked up. The scene when daylight appeared on the 18th was @ terrible one. The debris was nine feet deep in the principal streets, so that the lower stories were completely blocked in Sand formed 200 feet out from the beach, and all along were strewed the wrecks of houses and furniture. Landslids had taken place, and whole fields were covered. The earth seemed to give way at the top of the mountain, and whole acres slid down. Great damage was done to the country generally, and the roads were rendered impossible. The damage is estimated at $250, 900. Subscrip- tions have been made for the relief of the sufferers.
