Havana

The capital city Of Cuba Is built on
the northwest coast, that situation
beng chosen because the channel be,
tween Cuba and the mainland Of North
America was the most convenient pas
sage for merchant vessels bound TO Eu-
rope from Mexico, Havana, however,
IS not only the principal city, but has
long been the greatest commercial ern-
poTium OF the West India islands. The
shape of the town, like the harbor, ID
semi-circular. Like many other towns
within the tropics, it appears at d dis
lance rs if embossed in a wood of palm
M other trees Of great novelty and
beauty Of form. 1t has been truly said
that both the Old and New World meet
in Cuba. Havana seems like a piece of
Spain that has drifted into the Atlantic.
Approaching the city from Europe OF
America the eye is Tiyeted by the yari-
ETY. and brillancy Of the panorama. On
one side are Notifications, resembling
those Of Malta, hewn out of dark gray
rock, and along their parapets may be
seen lines of soldiers in white uniforms,
the ancient Spanish banner, red and
gold waving IN the passing currents of
air. Below there, along the shore to
the right of the entrance to the haIbOr
toward the rampant spreads the town.
parti cOlored, like Damascus. The
houses are blue, pink, scarlet, yellow
with masses Of green palms cleaning
above them and shading the streets and
squares with their broad fatheIly fronts,
the whole city basking III the u and

snowy articles of porcelain and glass On
a stall of fancy wares. In the harbOr
doat old-fashioned igondolas, not black
like those of Venice, but brilliant and
beautiful. Altogether Havana has a
peculiar character and a romantic life
unlike any city in Europe Or America,
The riches and magniicence of Havana
have frequently excited the cupidity of
invaders, and it has been therefore, re-
peatedly subject to attacks by hostile
ornaments. 1t was taken by a French
pirate in 1863; afterwards by English
and French buccaneers, and SIbsequnt-
ly by the British under the Duke Of
Albemarle, in the reign of George Ill.
1t was however restored to Spain by
England at the beginning 'of the year
1853. But the value and Importance OF
the city, as also of the whole island was
rated $50 high as already limited, not
only on account of the treasures it Was
found to contain, but still 0 from
great political and commercial consider
ations, as it was the key to the Spanish
possessions in South America and the
harbor in which all the galleons and
merchant vessels were accustomed to
assemble before they departed u their
voyage y Europe.

love, George Duff. who, looking both
handsome and happy, was leaning over
a low chair occupied by a pretty girl IN
bidal splendor.
A cold chill ran through Efie Mac
gregor's veins. The girl-wife looked
50 bright, so happy, 50 cOnteRted, while
she-Ehie-was miserable and alone, a
g~overness, a dependant, with no One
save far-off Hester to care for her.
The blue eyes grew misty as she
thought of her folly. Like a scene sud
denly revealed, she realized exactly the
part that Captain Verschoyle had had
in running her life. She saw clearly
that she had thrown away an honest
heart, that she had indeed sacrificed the
substance for the shadow. But what
awaited it to revert mOurnfully to the
past-she who must so bravely try to
flce the lonely future ?
Mr. Duff came forward frankly to
Efie. He held her hand perhaps a sec
ond longef than he need have done, and
then she would have turned away.
But he was not to be repulsed. Her
pale sad face smote him to the heart; he
guessed her story, and his whole desire
was to utter one sentence in her ear /;
while the bright-eyed Mrs. Duff gazed
with some curiosity upon Mr.. Duff's
newly-found friend.
He asked after Hester, and then re-
ferred lightly 10 herself Was she well
and happy =?
Hester was in England, and she her
self was well and-happy.
"And, Ellie, have You not relentedp'
he asked.
Relented I Was he mad ? She looked
at him Indignantly.
~ have never changed, " said George
Duff. II loved you from the first day
| saw you, Elite. | love you still. |
made up my mind. despite your deser.
ton, that, if | did not marry you |
would never marry any other woman"
And your resolution broke down P'
said Ellie.
GLOW ?" he inquired. "What do
you mean z"
That you married some n else,
after ALL"
Then Efiie found out her mistake.
The pretty bride was Georges cousin ;
the lucky bridegroom was not Mr.. Duff.
Six months later he and Effie were
married and Hester crowned her sis
ter's happiness by taking up her abode
with them until she changed it for II
of her own.
Ehie looks back now and blesses the
day that she dld not marry Captain Yer
schoyle, though he is an Earl at pres
ent. and his neglected Countess does
the homors over a far grander domain
than lovely home-hke Ardloch. She
feels that she has been proyidentially
guided to her own safe haven again, and
shudders when she recalls how weakly
she at one time strayed from it. For,
as she once said to Hester
There are too many Captain Yer
schoyles in the world, and too few
George Dutfs."

Name,

Thousands Of yards of smyrna
rugs are made in Philadelphia; thou
sands more in Great Britain. The name
of a carpet signifies little in these days;
even the "kidderminster," or ingram
carpet, Is no longer made in Kidder-
minister nor the Mecca prayer rug in
Mecca. Philadelphia to-day makes
more goods than all England, and she
calls them Brussels, Nenetians, Dutch,
Administers. What, indeed, is in a
manner Massachusetts produces the
highest grade Brussels, Wilton's and
ingraIns. The time is past when the
fact that a carpet is Of Eng lish origin
has any influence in a sale. Twenty
two million dollars worth Of Philadel-
phia goods are made and sold every
year, Competition IS sharp, and not
only are the yarns doctOred with foreign
substances but the colors used are, in
many cases, reduced, whendTy and old,
to a mere dust, which a be literally
swept with a stiff broom from a floor,
A practice which has crept into the
retail trade is this. III a buyer dIscoy-
ers that he has certain goods which are
unsatisfactory he puts a premium on
them Of 5 or 6 cents a yard, and this In
duces the salesman to pay special atten-
ton to them. They are what are COM
monty known as ''stlckers" in stock,
and the purchaser IS very likely to have
this undesirable rubbish palmed off
upon him if he is at all influenced by the
enthusiasm or assurances of the average
salesman who reaps direct extra profit

Mr.. Clay made a good Secretary Of
State; but his place was in Congress
for he was formed by nature for a popu-
lar orator. He was tall and thin, with
a rather small head and gray eyes,
which peered forth less ANONYMOUSLY
than would have been expected in one
possessing eminent control Of language.
HIS nose was straight. his upper lip
long and his under jaw light. His
mouth. of generous width, when he was
silent and curving upward at the cor
ners as he spoke or smiled, was singu-
larly graceful, indicating more than
any other feature the elastic play Of his
mind. When he enchanted large audi.
ences his features were lighted up by a
winning smile, the gestures OF his long
arms we're graceful and the gentle ac~
cents of his mellow voice were persua-
sive and winning. Yet there has never
been a more imperious dtspot in pOliti-
cal affairs than Mr.. Clay. lie regarded
himself as the les d-centre of his party
"L'etat, c'est moi and he wanted
everything utilized for his advancement.

A Custom OF the EatherIand.

Birthdays in Germany are never neg
lected. From the first one, when the
infant receives the presents from the
gOd-parents, instead of at the time of
the baptism, the thing goes ON from
year to year, and peoples of all ages and
ranks consider themselves sighted If
even an acquaintance does not duly ap-
pear with the usual congratulatory Of
fering of flowers, etc. The custom Is
really a tax to many, for all members Of
a household consider themselves emit,
tied to valuable gifts on their bilth lays.
Even servants expect to be substantial
ly remembered, and as on their en-.
trance into the establishment they are
legally Obliged to render a full account
of the time and place of their birth
there is no pleading ignorance as an a.
cuse for neglecting 10 notice the d4y.

Correspondence OF the LEADER.
FoRT LARAMIE, Wyo., April l6.-The
Dramatic Society of Fort Laramie, under
the able management and dictatorship of
Captain Coolidge, entertained the garri-
son IN the 18th instant, presenting to its
friends the charming one act comedietta,
by s, I. Smith, entitled "a Happy Pair, "
followed by the entertaining comedy in
three acts, written by j. Il. Wylie, en-
titled Showed In" Lieutenant and
Mrs. d. l.. Howell played in the first and
it was so well executed by them both that
they may be considered more than mere
amateur actors, in fact they might almost,
without exaggeration, be termed profess
SIGNALS. The participants in the play fol
lowing were Mrs. Captain Coolidge, Mrs.
G. A. Worden and Miss Granger, Lieu
tenant Van Orsdale, Lieutenant Frede-
rick, Lieutenant Cochran, Lieutenant c..
A. Worden and last but not least, Mr.. f.
5. Harris. Without going into detail or
particularizing, one may say they all did
well and were loudly applauded and en-
cored several times. Though a few were
affected slightly with stage fright, especi-
ally in the love scenes, they all neverthe-
less soon got over it and the play went off
with much credit to all. 1t is feared that
this play is the last of the season, in
which case we can all look back with
much pleasure to the enjoyment of the
winter to which these dramatic exercises
have so greatly contributed. The 18th
Infantry orchestra during the evening,
under the leadership of Mr.. J.. Waters,
rendered appropriate selections in pleas
ing style.
