CUBANs are said to be born lovers.
Love is the motive of all their music.
Each piece of their dance music is a
love song without words. Every
movement in their dances is eloquent
of affection rendered or advances re
pulsed. Their whole lives are thus
contracted. The men keep them shut
up in their houses. Their girlhood is
spent behind the iron barred windows
of the paternal home; their woman
hood behind the iron barred windows
of a husbands house. They are not
artists, writers, sculptors, poets, law
yers, ministers, school teachers,
school commissioners, store keepers,
and the like, as our women are. The
Cuban men are passionate and jeal-
Gus. Their own code of raorals is
such as to make them suspect the
women, and so they keep the sex
locked up.

EIGHTY pupils of the Indian Train
ing School at Carlisle, Pa, left last
week for their homes ia the far West.
Fifteen of them were Greeks, who
came over three years ago from the
Tallahassee Mission School at Mus

twelves different agencies and had
nearly all completed their full school
term. They were accompanied by
three chiefs, one of whom, Sergeant
Jim" was scout for Captain Pratt,
now the superintendent of the In
dian School, while in military SER
vice on the frontier in 1875 and 1876.

THE condition of Cuba, in com
mercial and industrial point of view,
is almost desperate. Ia the Spanish
cortes, Saturday, the members Of that
body from Cuba asked the abolition of
export duties on Cuban products, a
great reduction of the government ex-
penses in Cuba, and that steps be
taken for liberal treaty Of commerce
with the United States. These meas
ures, they thought, might help Cuba
IN It's present crisis. The Spanish
government declined these PROPOSE
tons, and declared that the deplorable
condition Of affairs in Cuba is owing
to the too rapid abolition of slavery.
This appears like an absurdity. Sugar,
the principal Cuban product, is lower
than 1t was ever before known, and is
the cause of the great commercial de-
preston. This cannot be owing to
the disturbed condition of labor, as
that would increase the price of labor
products. The Cuban members of the
houes are greatly dissatisfied.
