Old Pasada-Notable Windows and DoOrss
 HAVANA, Cuba, Jan. B. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 There is a subtle, unreliable charm about scene, city and citizen in this Spanish capital of the West Indies which wish I could fully convey in words. It has never been done. I fancy Shat after all one must sense and feel it for himself.
 The very first glance at Cuba's purple, mountain-peaked shores impresses you strangely. When old Moro Castle looms above the gulf waters, and the embattled headland frowns savagely upon all northern approaches, an almost startled feeling of ir- revocabIe distance from American environ ment possesses you. And finally, when the great city and it's long shore-reaches of villas to the west lie there in full view, the con temptation of no medieval Mediterranean port could prompt more weird and fanoiful conjurings. In reality you are within ten hours sail of your own land and all it's natchless activities and progress. Not in all the Orient could you come upon scenes more voieeful of the dim mysteries of lost coun- tries and peoples.
 Havana is the concentrate Spain of Cuba, as Paris is the France of the French, London the England of Great Britain, as well as the eighth commercial capital of the world. Baron Won Humbolt, who in far remote mo- ments saw men and things as we'll as rocks and areas confessed it to be architecturally 1.-the gayest and most picturesque sight in America" He might well have added, "or in Europe" Spain itself cannot chow a more curious or interesting city. Study it as you approach it from the sea, with migh- ty Moro set high upon the headland, time dyed in mottled splatches of yellow, gray and black, and the red-and-yellow flags above; with La Punta across the narrow channel, prim and white, save where the ugly Dahlgren guns flash at you like vene- nous black eyes; and the city with it's tow ers, domes, minarets; mammoth pillars, vast capitals, entablatures and succeed corniees rising gradually behind to Castillo del Prinr cipe and Jesu del Monte. with their forts, towers and churches-the whole scene a blending of the most brilliant eolors; and all this backed by half mountains of green, 
 into asky of marvellous blue: it is as inte- resting and impressive sight (when you look at it all with thought of the life within it and behind it) as human eye ever beheld. I am at loss how to convey to another who has not seen it the peculiar impressions aris- ing from it's critical contemplation, and par- ticularly the marvellous distinctness and in- Naturalization each edi6ce seems to possess, while the whole scene is one of perfect struc- tural harmony of sharply contrasting color. If truthfully painted critics would damn the artist But an artist can no more paint this scene in the atmosphere which clothes ii with it's remarkable seeming, and under the sky which bestows upon all beneath a positive reflection of it's own depth, bril-
 and translucence, that he can paint

Pleasant Words.

THE show people and the, manager were
happy. and the audience, which just comfort.
ably filled the building, was charmed and de
lighted before the curtain was rung down on
the first act.
"Struck Gas" is of the stereotyped modern
American musical comedies of the day. Put
upon the stage simply as a comedy it would
attain only modicum of success, but studded
as it is with all kinds of COmlcal situations,
with pretty and sparkling gems of song and
dance, and with the additional attraction of a
charming, fresh young sOubrette, who fairly
bristles with music and winsOmeness, its sue.
cess ceases to be phenomenal. The traditional
"Old father" and the traditional stage Villain
and stage buffoOn and vIlainnus lawyer are
frightened up by the life and nerve of the
star" who is in truth d star.
Tuten is young, pretty and talented She
sings and dances TO perfection, and 1s rs pa
thetc when the lines require it as she is naive
and piquant. Her songs are new. her style
fresh and her voice sweet and taking. The
cast is above the average support in COM
panies o; the kind, and the comedy runs
smoothly from beginning to end. The APP
plause last night was boUntiful and vigorous,
and deserved."-News and Courier Charles

from the merits of other artists, II may L.
SAID that Mrs H. 4. Blair, at the German
English school entertainment on Saturday
night. introduced dramatic novelty hat eX-
cited much admiration and added to the
laurels the ledy has gained. The scenery
having been adjusted to represent cell, Mrs.
Blair with flowing locks, chained, and bearing
alIthe characteristics of lunatic, appeared
and recited mon :" NJ. G. Lewis dramN Q
poem. The Maniac" with such dramatic
intensity as TO be realistic, and to elicit a
furore of applause. AS an encore Mrs. Blair
recited The Revelry in Church with such
effect as to prove that she was an equal ar
tiste in comedy and tragedy.
