A Case That Dss,a ands Investigation.
Information has just reached the United
States of the outrages which Senor Pouble,
to. Senior Pouble owns cigar store at
Fcure eoth street and Third avenue, In New
York City. He vent to Havana last Sep,em-
Der, his purpose beiLg TO purchase some to-
bacco leaf, settle some family matters and
bring back with him maiden sister, unpro-
tected there. Halt au hour after his arrivsa
he was rudely seized, by order of the captain
general, and searched. Everything in his
possession, even to 81 or $l2 which were found
in his pockets, WAS confiscated. He was then
thrown into filthy, dark, damp dungeon in
Castle Prince, and has been kept there ever
since. His condition is described as
pitiabe. His narrow cell is not even pro-
videi with cot or a STOOL and he is fed from
the prison fare, a nauseous compound Of ran
cid bacon and moldy chick peas The charge
brought against the prisoner was "having
seditious documents in his baggage" Senor
Pouble had his American passport vised by
the Spanish consul at Key West. and it is
hardly probable, if he was the bearer OF any
thing reasonable, that he would run such
risk. The prisoner appealed to Mr.. Williams,
the American consul, who interviewed the
governor general and obtained, according to
treaty stipulations, a civil venue and the ap-
pointment OF counsel to defend him. Senior
Pouble has not yet had trial.
|, certainly looks as IL the case was one de-
mlnding the most careful Investigation by
the United States government.

18th Congress---Special Session.
WASHINGTON. March 18.

In the Senate to-day Mir. Eustis spoke against issuing the Backbone" land pa tents. He knew personally that many pool people were losers by it. He maintained al length that the title of the road was an ille- gal one.
 MT. Teller argued that the title had been passed by various authorities, which had successively sustained it.
 MT. Van Wyck argued against the grants, concluding by assuring MT. Teller that he meant nothing personal in his resolution of inquiry; it was the system he was after.
 The controversy was continued at length between Senators Teller, Van Wyck and Eus- tis, during which time Mr. Van Wyck caused a great deal of merriment by questioning Senator Teller upon certain points in his re- marks. His principal intefrogatories were based upon remarks by MT. Teller to the ef- feet that he (Van Wyck) when the forfeiture bills were before the committee had been "as silent as the grave" On this point Senator Teller finally modified his remarks so that they stood sssilent as the grave so far as he knew" "Ah! hap broke in Senator Van Wyck. "The Senator modifes his statement. Why, thought the learned law yer was talking of matters of which he had knowledge. Silent as the gravel! indeed" The Senator proceeded in this vein to show what he had done before committees in favor of railroad forfeitures, much to the amuse ment of Senators and the galleries, until 3:15 p. m., when, on motion of Mir. Merrill, the Senate went into executive session and con frmed several nominations and at p. m. adjourned until tomorrow.

THE FoLIrsE OF THE SUN.
Observations of the Phenomena a
 Various Points.

Observations of the Phenomena at
 Various Points.
 BosroN, March 16.-Roofs and windows were crowded here to-day with spectators of the solar eclipse. At Harvard observatory Professor Pickering and three assistants at an early hour this morning began prepara- tions for taking observations. Contact was first noted at twenty minutes, seven seconds past noon, exactly nine seconds later than the time computed by Robert Treat Paine. At the time of the greatest obscuration the moon covered little over fve-ninths of the suns surface. At twelve minutes past 3 the eclipse ended. This was the last annular eclipse that will occur in the present century. The next total eclipse in the United States will take place in the afternoon of January i. 1889, The moons shadow will then pass over Colusa, California, and over a narrow strip east of that town to the place where the sun will set This will be the return of the total eclipse of November 30, 1884. The next total eclipse of the sun in the Atlantic States will occur in the forenoon ot May 2o, 1900. The moons shadow will then eclipse from New Orleans to Norfolk and thence across the ocean to Europe.
 PITrsBURG, March 16.-Clouds and a snow storm seriously interrupted the carrying out of the extensive preparations for taking ob- seryations of the suns eclipse from the Al leeheny observatory, and Professor Langly was only partially successful in his efforts. Preparations for taking observations from several points near and in this city had been made and much disappointment is felt on account of the obstructed view.
 ROME, N. Y, March 16.-A perfectly cloudless sky permitted continuous observa- tions of the suns partial eclipse. Scientific observations were made at Hamilton college.
 SYRACUSE, N Y., March 16.-The eclipse was observed by crowds in the streets here. Observations were made by Dr. Calthrop. The sky was almost cloudless
 CINCINNATI, March 16.-Professor J. P. Porter, the astronomer at Mt. Lookout ob- servatory, had previously computed the time of initial contact of the moons shadow With the edge of the suns disc and the observed time corresponded with the computed tlme' which was il h. ru. 3 sec, within one second. The contact was observed one second later than computed At the moment of greatest obscuration-at 12 :35-the moons shadow covered three ffths of the suns entire diameter, put the ap- parent surface of the sun was obscured one half This was owing to the convexlty or the moons shadow. The eclipse enoeo at 2:02 this afternoon.
 PHILADELPHIA, March S16.-Considerable
 interest was manifested in this city by the colleges, high school and scientific bodies on account of the eclipse of the sun and cont1n- mad. dnrino the time it was visible. The sup was ebscured by clouds a portion of the time. but not long enough to prevent good y;au

The New Christian Science.

BOSTON, March 16.-Prior to his Fremont Temple lecture to-day Rev. Joseph Cook in troduced Mrs. Mary B. Eddy, president of the Massachusetts metaphysical college, to briefly define the new Christian science or faith healing. Mrs. Eddy said she was not spiritualist, but believed in the possibility of communication with the spirits of the dead; in God as supreme being, loving father and love as divine principle; also in the atonement of Christ which included mans redemption from sickness and death. Christian science is not the action of one mind on another mind. It is not from the evidence of the senses, but in contradiction of such evidence. It is not transference of thought nor animal magnetism, which is of all sanitary methods the most fatal. First comes belief and then faith in the power of God to come to man in every case. There is no power to contradict God and all reality is on his side.

LacOn1cs.

From the London Globe.
 When Philip of Macedon wrote to the Spartan ephors, eff enter Laconia I will level Laced@mon to the ground, /" he received for answer the single but significant word eff" This is, perhaps, the finest example of laconic utterance on record, and was, indeed, worthy of the people who gave not only To- cal habitation but name to pithy and sen- tentious speech. Greek and Latin, and in less degree their offspring of the South Eu- ropean group of languages, are richer in con else forms of expression than the division of the Indo-European family of tongues to which the German and our own belong. The Greeks were more remarkable for simplicity in literary style than the Romans, result to which they were helped as much by their natural love of beauty and sense of propor- tion as by the genius of their language It was, however, the merit of the Roman wri- ters that they constantly aimed at rivalling the simplicity of their Greek models, and their success in this particular was the meas ure of their contemporary fame Tacitus and Sallust afford many examples of laconic at it's best and briefest, and that Cesar was master of sententious utterance his ''veni, vidi, vici' is enough to prove.

The bark Lottie Stewart, from Liverpool in bal last, had fearful experience. Hurricanes and gales followed each other in rapid suc- cession during the entire passage. The ship is almost com plstely disabled and will have to undergo extensive repairs. A few days after leaving Liverpool her foretopsail yard was carried away. On the twenty eighth of January she experienced 8 hurricane in which the ship hove down to her dead eyes in the water and they had to cut away the maintop- sail. The sea carried away fourteen stanch- ions and nearly the wh. le mainsail. The next day it was found that the rudder head was gone and the ship was unmanageable. A temporary head was rigged which was car ried away several times. The same day the sea came aboardiand gutted the forecastle and galley. The sailors narrowly escaped being washed overheard. A few days after this enc of the ships boats was destroyed and the pilot house partly carried away. The vessel is all open forward through pitching about in the sea.
