On q Cuban Railway.

Presently an angular mummified ne
gro, who has been frequently passing
through the train and making himself
generally conspicuous, rings u dinner
bell which he holds in his hand, and
this is the signal to leave. You might
have imagined that this bell-man was
connected with the station, and not a
part of the apparatus; but that is an
error-and at every station thereafter,
when the dinner-bell rang on the plat
form at the rear end of the train, the
engineer always obeyed the signal.
The train carries three classes of
passengers, the third class in front and
the first class in the rear. The only
difference is in the seating of the car,
there being no cushions on the second
and third class, and no backs on the
seats of the latter.
The road is narrow guage, but it
moves rapidly enough, and there are
no vexatious delays. Many of the sta
tons arc fenced in with barbed wire,
so that any one wishing to defraud the
railroad company, passes out at the
wrong station, or having purchased a
ticket for certain place to which there
is cheap fare, tries to get off where the
fare is dear, he can be certainly de-
tected. The regulation of the rates
depends perhaps upon the opposition
the road may have, and the rates are
strangely unjust. 1t is cheaper, for
instance, to buy ticket through to
Havana, than it is to purchase one to a
certain point not quito halfway. II
may be possible, too, that the road dis
eliminates against certain points, as
such q thing as that has been known
even in the States. Havana Cor. Pits

Many people exercise themselves

Many people exercise themselves a
good deal over the discussion of the
question, how long will it be until the
introduction of good blood among our
cattle shall have been overdone? AL
most apythiin3g Fan be carried to an ex-
treme, and the American psopie Hn-
doubtedly have q weakness for over
doing almost anything that can be
overdone. But in carrying the Inn
provements of cattle too far they have
task in hand by no way easy of ac-
accomplishment. AS long as good stock
can be handled to more advantage
than any other, people will haYe every
incentive to improve, AS long as the
bulk of the cattle of the country are of
an inferior quality, they will have
plenty of work on improving. And
until the new cattle regions of the
west are well stocked up with animals
of Q high type, there will be plenty of
room for extending the lines of inn
proyement. Whe all these points are
taken into consideration. it does not
look as thou h the period in which
breeders can profitably pursue their
business is drawing to an end. Has it,
anywhere in the world, ever drawn to
an end? England has been pursuing
for centuries the idea of breeding up,
and now has, without doubt, better
average of farm animals than any
other country In the world. But has
it been overdone Pare breeders quit
ting because tdoes not pay? Besides
enjoying an excellent home trade,
England is driving a lucrative business
with foreign countries. American
breeders have trade at home whose
like is seen nowhere else, ana besides
have every opportunity for creating a.
foreign market: and, withal, have as
little cause for apprehension or alarm
as any other CLASS of American pro-
ducers. -National Stockman.

Three hundred and seventy Irish
men in New Haven, Conn, have joined
Blaine clubs.
The contest turns, as was seen
from the first, upon the votes of New
York and New Jersey. There are at
least four Southern States in which
Mr.. Blaine will have a majority of the
honest votes. But these votes will
meyer be counted for him if it is posi-
ble to defeat him by counting them
falsely. In New York and New Jer--
sey the result turns on the opinions of
the men who are engaged in manufac.
lures and mining in regard to the tar
iff, If they desire to sustain the party
BY which the Morrison bill was framed
and almost passed last spring they will
support Mr.. Cleveland, 1t does not
seem to the Tribune that there is much
chance for free-trade victory in either
State, but no one can tell what infa-
nous frauds may yet be devised by q
party which selects the contriver of the
Morey forgery for its manager.-Neu
