Under the name of Havana n to-
bacco which grows only in the Vueto
Abajo district, near the City of Havana,
they purchase all kinds of tobacco that
grow in Cuba, and Cubans Will tell
you that some of it is the worst in The

worked up rs Havana, but not to so
great an extent as the product of the
Nuelo Arriba. There is some OF the
last named which has a really fine
navor and taste, but the leaf is much
cOarser than the Havana leaf, and
mucn OF 1t is aS coarse in flavor rs in
appearance. Still, what flavor it has
Is, as rule, far superior to that of to-
bacco grown IN the states, and gives
tone to the Connecticut or state seed
with which it is commonly mixed to
make the ordinary seed and Havana
cigar. Nowadays there is consider
able Sumatra, Jamaica and even
Mexican tobacco used here in the same
way, but probably the bulk of the So
called Havana mixture comes from
the Nueta Arriba, us stated. The real
Havana, that from the Vuclto Abaio, is
almost entirely absorbed by the manu-
facturerS of Cuba itself, the product of
the best plantations being in fact
mortgaged for years in advance, Just as
used to be the case with many cotton
plantations IN the south before the
war. 1t is safe to say that very, very
little of 1t ever gets into this market.
A very common error among well-to-
do smokers is to suppose that because
they buy IN imported cigar. they must
get good one. Many of the brands
Of imported goods which have had
their run here, such as the Figaro, ES-
pamela, the Partaga, never were a fine
grade of goods rs compared with other
Cuban cigars, and many Of the imita-
tons made here and sold for the
genuine by the million, were actually
better than the originals
Some very fine brands Of cigars are
imported here from Cuba, but in COM
paratively y small quantities, the bulk of
the best goods to satisfy the esthetic
demands of the royalty and aristocracy
of Europe. A familiar example of
this can be seen in the Napoleones, a
very large cigar, which was first made
10y Cuban manufacturer for the late
Emperor Napoleon, and which cost q
dollar piece. Every particle of their
contents was carefully selected and
handled. and IAN extraordinary price
was paid for the workmanship, no
gum being used TO turn the end with
and keep it in place.

a steam Cathedral on ,he Amman.

The Catholic bishop of Para and
Amazonas proposes to build large
missionary church, TO ply with steam
upon the Amazon. The London Tab
let gives the following glowing az
count of the bishops suggestion: The
floating church will be dedicated who'll

poses. 1t will be built bv the most
skilled artiiicers of Europe and superb
ly decorated and adorned. The rarest
and most precious woods with which
the Amazonan valley abounds fine in
grain and varied in color, will wanscot
the sacred interior. At one end will
shine forth the altar, with its gilded
reredos and glittering tabernacle, con-
tanning the most blessed sacrament,
and surrounded with the usual orna-
ments and taperS. This new floating
cathedral-this "Basilca- a-naval''-wiil
OF course possess its pulpit and con-
fessional, its organ and baptismal font,
and all the ornaments of church furni-
ture requisite, not merely for the de-
cent, but even for the solemn and
splendid exercise of Catholic rites. la
the lower portion of the ship q suitable
room or cabin will be prepared for the
ordinary of the diocese, and sufficient
number for the priests attached to the
missionary snip, as well as the usual
accommodation for the necessary sailors
and naval officers. The whole struct-
ure will be dedicated, as soon as com
pleted to the Blessed Sacrament. and
will be called Christopher Cor Christ
Bearer). Propelled by steam and
dlawing but little water, it will carry
the 25alOus missionaries along the
great natural highway TO the most dis
tant parts OF the .cOuntry-aS far as
Bolivia, and Peru, Ecuador and Col
umbia, and Venezuela, and even TO the
more distant European colonies of
Guayana. The dulcet sounds Of the
swelling organs accompany ing the
soft sOnorous chant Of the priests will
spread over the tranquil surface of the
river, and give notice Of the approach
of Christ, "ambulans super aQuas. "
From time to time the good fathers
will stop at convenient places, where
the people will be collected TO receive
instruction and eXhortatiOn, where
their children will he baptized and
where all who desire it will have an
opportunity, now scarcely ever afford
ed, of going to confession and holy
communion. Mass will be celebrated
with much pomp and circumstance
within the hallowed precints of the an
chored church, and all will be invited
to attend. After time regular sta
tions will probably be formed from one
extremity of the gigantic river TO the
other, which will be visited at certain
stated intervals.

Mr. II. Stewart, of Hackensack, n.

a correspondent of the Boston Tran

Colorado beetle no doubt may Justly
boast of a venerable antiquity but he
never lived in history until the Great
American Desert became peopled,
about twenty years ago, when the in
sect left his hOrse-ncttle (SOlaH11n car
0iinenSe) for the potato (S0la11tna M6cr-
OSaU), and never after abandoned his
new food. Gradually he worked his
way east, from potato patch to potato
patch, when he appeared suddenly in
Indiana in 1870 in Ohio in 1871,
thenceforward travelling like other
tramps, by stealing rides on railways.
FabriciOus never knew of this beetle.
"The beetle (not bug) he described
Lytt0 Cjttata is long, slender insect,
having two black stripes, two on each

it belongs TO the genius cunthar7didr,
being a true blister beetle. The Col
oradO beetle is entirely different in
shape from these; is not blister beetle
at all. 1t belongs TO an entirely differ

ChrySOmehd9 to which the striped Gu
cumber beetle and some other spotted

sedate, absent minded man. The seat

fact Is that ito whom Mr.. Wright refers) was
neither admitted to the Typographical Union, nor
was my admission or rejection ever voted on. The
truth IS that the Union treated me in an unfair

Union, TO which was referred my application after
most thorough Investigation, reported in favor
or my admission. Under the rules Ut the Union a
vote should have been taken upon the commit ees
report. Instead OF taking q vote, the Union pro-
ceeded to violate its own laws by postpontng con.
slderation OF the report. This postponn9 was

So nature knows q hidden art

Dust unto dust the ages yield,
But through the arching skies,
From burning wreck and meadow field,

Forever doth arise.
Our temples crumble, affairs fall,

And at their heart and over all
Our wasted tears that rise ana fail
