Facts About Cuba.

Cuba is about ripe or rotten enough
to drop into the lap of Madame Colum-
bia.
She is only little over one hundred
miles distant from Florida
Each free family In Cuba must paw
annually in direct or indirect taxes
$500.
The yearly aggregate wrung from
the inhabitants is S2d, ,O0O,0 900.
The government is despotic, and the
press is muzzled by the iron hand of
power.
Cuba's last great revolution lasted
eleven years and cost Spain the lives of
150, 900 soldiers.
The island is overrun with brigands
and financial ruin stares the people in
the face.
Fifty thousand officials live off the
taxes extorted from the Cubans.
Each retail merchant has to pay $500
year for license.
Under President Polk this country
offered Spain 800. 600. 600 for Cuba.
The world cannot show a richer or
more productive spot than this is
land.
About one hundred marquises and
counts reside in Cuba. These titles
can be purchased at $25. 900 apiece.
The people are handsome, bright and
brave. They are smaller than the
Americans. and have black hair and
olive complexions-- COnStitu-

A correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Press tells this rather tough story:
Once the Earl of Shaftesbury lost his
watch while walking in the New Cut,
an unpleasant neighborhood infested
with vile characters He advertised
his loss, as he valued the trinket for
certain associations. Within twenty
four hours his household was aroused
by violent ring and knock at the
street door, and the wheels of a vehicle
were heard rapidly disappearing in the
distance. On opening the front door
a sack was found filled with something
that moved. On investigating the
sack boy of the Artful Dodger class
was found. bound hand and foot and
gagged. Round his neck was the miss
ing watch, and underneath was a pla-
card with the words: '.Lock i'm up,
mi lord, he's disgrace to ourn perfes-
sion; he order known as yer lordship
was free of the wud; Civ i'm five years
ard. Yer Friends" The Earl did not
take the advice of ''his friends" He
reformed the Artful Dodger, and
eventually he became light of the
London shoeblack brigade.

The Last of the NfilIerites.

Yes" said Uncle Morris Cobb, "I
have heard all the three messages and
am seeing the fall of Babylon" and he
looked out across the bay to the dis
tant City of Portland, seeing instead,
perhaps, with eyes already growing
dim with age, the falling domes and
towers of the much-talked-of Babylon
Uncle Morris Cobb is probably the last
survivor of the little band of heroic but
sadly mistaken men and women who
in 1843 followed Elder William Miller
into bitter poverty and through many
trials to at last share with him his
crowning disappointment
Of these men and women many queer
and pathetic stories are told. They
tried to carry out with exactness the
very letter of the Scriptures. One man,
the morning of the day appointed for
the winding up of all things, put a
bottle of cider in each pocket and with
a well-filled dinner-pail in his hand
started for Cape Elizabeth graveyard.
his expressed intention being to greet
the Lord in the company of his imme-
diate ancestors. He returned home at
night empty rs to pail but full as to
cider. When questioned in regard to

take. not in regard to the event, but in
regard to the personal coming of the
Lord. We expected that Christ was

he came as a bridegroom. The mid
night cry was in 1843. The Lord came
as bridegroom the 10th day OF the
seventh month of 1874. Babylon is
falling now. 1t is shaking. Babylon
is all the modern churches. They re-
fused to hear the midnight cry in 1843.
They went not out to meet the brides
groom in lS44, and they are falling
now. OF course, the fail is moral
one. That's why the public know
nothing about it.

Colored Societies i'm the South.

The fondness of the colored people
since the war to belong to some
SIS iety," which is exercised to its ut
most length here in Washington, is of
great service to them in their new con-
dition of life. Most of these societies,
which are all beneficial, admit females
and children. In addition to these new
organizations may belong to Odd Eel
low and Masonic fraternities, and, al
though not affiliated with by their
white brethren on account of some
technicalities, are regarded as MEM
bers and respected as such.
These older societies, however, do
not satisfy the longing of our colored
citizens as they do not admit of the
presence of the softer sex-gallant to
fault. the presence of Dinah is neces-
sary for the happiness of Sambo even
if he whips her afterwards in the line
of argument. Such organizations,
therefore. as the "Sons and Daughters
of Moses" or the brothers and Sis.
ters of the Living Sons of Abraham"
admitting. as they do, both sexes, are
greatly preferred, while the still novel
sense of freedom to many of meeting
openly, unmatched. and the opportu-
oAOiCioAuS Dc-
fore their sable sisters, assist still moro
to make such societies well attended,
in addition to the many practical ad-
vantages to be gained.
= In consequence of the funerals of
members of these societies being at
tended by their lodge in body the fe-
male members and children of some
enjoy a carriage ride nearly every Sun
day, as it would appear that the dying
member obligingly delays or expedites
his taking of. so that the mournful
occasion might take place when all the
members could turn out without Pc
cuniary loss. A certain number of car
riages are supplied whether needed or
not, but they are generally well filled;
thus, with a score of hacks, many driy-
en- by white men, preceded by MEM
bers on foot in regalia, and a brass
band, the procession wends its slow
way through the streets to the ceme-
terry with dignity that robs death of
half its terrors, while the mourners feel
assured that their loss will not, for a
time at least. bring the wolf to the door
and that all honor has been paid to the
deceased. Traveller, --
