Cuban Hotel Life.
New York Home Journal

Only two meals day are served at Cuban hotels. They live much as some people do in some parts of France and Switzerland. You take an orange or two, with cup of coffee and roll, in the early morning; a liberal breakfast in courses is served at eleven o'clock and ceremonious din ner at four or five o'clock in the after noon. The mode of living is admira- bly, suited to the climate, and you fall in with the custom and like it at once.
 The breakfast opens with small olives and fresh radishes served in the same dish; the next course is fish, then eggs, meat, etc. You are not asked what you prefer, but each course is set before you and you partake of it or not. Instead of beginning with fruit the Cuban breakfast ends with it-pineapples cut from the stalk the same morning, freshly picked sapo- alias, a faint and rather over-sweet morsel with oranges ad lt6ttam.

Homes in Arkansas.

The United States owns about G. 400, 1000 acres of land in Arkansas. all open to homesteaders. Of this some 2,3OO, ,000 acres are in the Harrison dis trict, which includes Boone, Benton Baxter, Carroll, Fulton, Izard, Madi- son, Marion, Newton, Searcy, Stone and Washington counties. None of these counties contain less than 1OO,- GOO, while Benton has nearly 100000 acres. These lands are all timbered and are, in the main, hilly, although there are large areas of rich valley lands. In the Camden district, Me- vada, Hampstead and Ashley counties have vacant prairie lands. Polk, Pike, Montgomery, Hot Springs, Garland, Clark and Howard counties are tim- bered, and contain 1,400,000 acres of vacant lands, chiefly hilly, but with numerous valleys. Unoccupied lands also exist in the southern parts of Miller, Lafayette and Columbia coun- ties. The Dardanelle district, compris- ing Crawford, Franklin, Johnson, Lo- gan, Sebastian and Montgomery coun- ties, with 10000 to 80,000 acres of va cant land each, and Pope, Yell, Scott and Perry, with about 100000 acres each, is made up of alternate noun tains and lowlands, the latter being extremely fertile. It is a timbered region. The remaining government lands in the state, some 100000 acres nearly all of which is available, are in the Little Rock district, and are di- vided between prairie and timber Much of it is unoccupied. About 1,- 5O0,O0O acres of state lands are undis- posed of, and of these lands nearly 100000 acres are free to settlers who improve them.

 adise.''
 A visitor to Arkansas has the fol- lowing to say in regard to it in the Western Rdila0ay Guide:
 "In view of the above would extend an invitation to the readers of the Guide to come to Arkansas, the per- ennial paradise and elysian of the god of nature. would that could give your readers birdseye view of this healthful, beautiful and fertile para disc, lying upon the west bank of the Mississippi river, the great father of waters, with rich alluvial soil, capa- ble of producing any and everything that will grow in this latitude, in the greatest abundance.
 "With regard to health, although it lies in the Mississippi valley, and upon the banks of that mighty river, it will compare favorably with any other section of the south. With all due respect to the old south, Arkansas is now on boom and Shakespeare says there is 'boom' in the affairs of men which taken at flood leads on to AZ 10 HOW DCllR pushed in this section on the intensive system. The old mode is being SUD- plemented with improved implements, and the work of four men is in many instances being accomplished by one man, and the general soil replied with favor to the effort of the agriculturist, giving him in many instances two bales of cotton per acre, from fifty to a hundred bushels of corn, the same with regard to oats, four tons of hay per acre per annum, from 100 to 400 bushels of Irish pota- toes and the same of sweet potatoes and other things in proportion.
 "The whole state is banded together in agricultural societies known as the Agricultural Wheel,' which origi- mated in this state and has now spread to all the surrounding states. Under the benign influences of democratic government taxation has been greatly reduced, and the laborer is now reap ing the fruits of his toll. Altogether, Arkansas, and especially Phillips county, is an inviting field for the emigrant. Her hospitable, chivalric, magnanimous and brave people stand with outstretched arms to welcome the toiling masses, especially if they are honest and industrious"

Minerals in Northeastern Arkansas.

Minerals m Northeastern Arkansas.
 In all the northeastern counties of Arkansas are minerals of various kinds, rich in quality and abundant in quantity. We visited those coun- ties and examined the outcroppings in 1853, and at that time collected a large lot from surface exposures of hematite iron ores beautifully crystallized and elegant cabinet specimens-stalac and botsioidal, also at the same time got quantity of the different varie- ties of zinc ores, and took them with us to Philadelphia, where the iron masters of the eastern states examined and pronounced them equal to any iron ores smelted in the blast furnaces in Pennsylvania and the adjoining states. We also collected, at the same time, specimens of copper ores of that section of country. In 1871 and 1872 we travelled over that part of Arkan- sas on two different occasions, and made other selections of the iron ores, zinc, copper, lead, manganese, and other useful minerals. These minerals exist In the cavernous limestone of lower Silurian age, the mineral bear ing rocks of European and other coun- tries ia which the richest and most abundant ores are mined and smelted. Truly northeastern Arkansas is part of the state that should be visited by the workers of iron. No other state in the Union offers 30 great induce ments for investment of capital in the iron-producing business as that of northeastern Arkansas.

There is an erroneous impression among northern people that the land of the south is worn out. The facts are that very large proportion of it has not been cultivated at all for many years and when this is plowed and properly worked it yields surpris- ingly we'll. The reason so much land lies idle is because it is used in very large tracts and the owner cannot de- pend on the negro labor to work a large farm, so there will be any profit i'll it for him. He is therefore willing to sell it at one-fifth its former value to northern farmers, retaining only what he needs for his own use; and the farmer who will come down here and farm just as he does in the north will find himself better paid for his labor than he ever was before.

Alabama are fully alive to their min- eral interests, while Mississippi is beating all the states in dairying, the raising of stock and in growing grasses. At present there are some as fine herds of herd cattle in and about Starkville as can be found in the northern states. Louisiana is com- mencing to give some attention to stock and grasses. MT. Gehee, of Bayou Sara, has fine stock, and dur ing the past winter not only shipped half to New Orleans, but to New York City. This was Japan clover Iespe- deza Striata), a forage plant not known at the north, but one of the very best grown either for pasture or hay. Arkansas has now more healthy growth than at any former period, and it does not seem to be restricted to any particular class of industries, but all are receiving attention. Situated as our state is, with variation of altitude from 250 to 2500 feet above sea level, we have difference of ten degrees of latitude, enabling us to grow everything that is produced from the lakes to the Gulf states. Our timbers are not less diversified, while no part of the continent within the same number of square miles has such variety of useful minerals. Coal, both semi-anthracite and true bitumi- nous, is situated in the middle of the state on the western border, while metallic minerals of every class known to the metallurgist, are found sur- rounding this coal field, bringing all within close proximity for the use of the manufacturer. Our agricultural lands seem to be more sought for than any other, for the home- seeker can be found in every neighborhood, while thousands of letters of inquiries are coming from all sections of our own country and Europe.
 The ignorance and prejudice in re- gard to the South, which one per- vaded the whole north, no longer ex- ists, and our climate, soil, products and people, are beginning to be un- derstood and appreciated, at least we judge so from letters received and in- dividuals met with from the entire north who are anxious to escape the rigors of their climate and come without delay. We'll, northerner by birth ourselves, and some ten years ago having secured good sized farm, pleasantly located, we can now have no personal objection to letting them come, and will be the first to extend warm southern welcome.
