Cuba Letter.

HAvANNA, CUBA, Feb. 21, 1888.
DEAR FATnER-I left Cleveland with
out notice OF more then few hours and
came here. Lett home week ago to-day,
sailed from New York and arrived here
yesterday; had pretty stormy PASSAGE am
in midsummer heat of the tropics in a
wonderful city in which there is utterly
nothing American ;all European, and as old
as Spain to all appearances; customs, iile'
people all new to me architect unlike any
thing / ever saw great wealth and abject
poverty; Cubians hate Spaniards who are
sent here to live off them; heavily taxed
and all money lent to Spain. They look:.to
the United States for succor and annexa-
ton. The streets and all places abound
with the Spanish soldier with his black
and red uniform; about one hundred
thousand are quartered here on the
Cubans; there are Two hundred thousand
people in Havana. We dare not go far
into the interior for fear of the bandit
There are bands of them who capture the
people and take them to the mountains
and hold them for ransom. Three mer
were taken last week. Spain bleeds pool
Cuba and does not protect her after all
The three young men who are with me
have travelled all over the world and they
all agree with me that America is the
place to live. We in the United States
are favored with the best. We go to
bull fight Sunday; to Sugar plantation
tomorrow, home about March lst. Die
not eat much on boat; everybody sicl
during storms, but am nov making up fo
it. Hope Lucy is getting on well. An
sure this trip will be good for me for wa
pretty tired. viii see you before long.
Affectionately, MYRoN.

ObEhbiNs
About o'clock last Sunday afternoon
the men on passing freight train discov-
cred FIRE In the ioof Of the Montgomery
house on East Lorain street near the rail-
road. She train was stopped and man
sent 10 notify the occupants, who were
sitting quietly by the stove. A few neigh
bors soon gathered and succeeded in ex-
tinguishlng tine fire before the house was
all burned up, but II was rendered unin-
habitable. Some people in this village
will remember an aged colOred woman by
the name of Betsey Gould, who some
seyen or eight years ago lived in the south
pert Of town near the railroad, and during
visit to her daughter in Cleveland per-
mitted young man to occupy a room in
the house, who, it was charged, smuggled
most CT her goods away, and for this act
was sent 10 the penitenliary for six years
The old lady at present lives with her
daughter, Mrs. Eckiord. in small house
on back street 10 Cleveland, and with
her sister, Mrs. Nancy Bryant, the same
city, claims to be the heir TO an estate, the
value of which is estimated ut ten millisn
dollars. The property consists of real es-
tate in Virginia and Kentucky upon some
OF which valuable buildings have been
erected. The claim has been placed 10
the hands Of attorneys who will make an
effort to put their clients in possession

JEFF DAVIS ROMANCE.
The Strategy by Which He Secured n
Bride When Young lieutenant

The Strategy by which He Secured
Bride When e Young Lieutenant
The first marriage of jefferson DAVIS was
of a somewhat romantic character, says the
Philadelphia Press. After graduating at
West Point he was ordered 10 Fort Craw-
ford, at Prairie du Chen, Wis, the post
then commanded by Colonel Zachary Tay-
lor. The daughter Of the latter, Miss Sallie
Knox Taylor, at once fell desperately in
love with the handsome and intellectual
young Lieutenant and the affection was re-
ciprocated, but the old Colonel was averse
TO any matchmaking under the circum-
stances and peremptorily forbade Davis
from visiting his quarters except in en- Of
fetal capacity. The lovers managed 10 see
each other by stratagem, however, and one
morning at daylight they were missing.
The household was instantly aroused, the
servants Intercepted and a search made,
but nothing was elected save that the door
Of the stable was open, four horses were
gone, and their tracks indicated hasty de-
parture. Further examination OF the prem
ises showed that Lieutenant George Will
son, brother Of Thomas S. Wilson, OF Du-
buque, Ia, and Miss Street, daughter Of
General Street, had likewise suddenly dis
appeared. There was but one conclusion,
an and child in the village knew al about
the runaway match
Colonel Taylor was enraged and declared
with an oath as strong as he ever used,
that under no circumsta uces would be for
give Davis or become reconciled TO his
daughters disobedience. Sixteen years
passed. "Old Zach" was Ia command OF
the United States army Ia Mexico, and
serving under him was Colonel jefferson
Davis at the head Of the famous First Mis-
sissippi Rifles. At the battle Of Buena
Vista this regiment covered itself with
glory. but Davis, while leading one OF It's
charges at critical moment, fell severely
and, 1t was supposed. mortally wounded
he was borne from the field and that even
Ing General Taylor. mounted on Old
Whitley, paid him visit. Dismounting, be
stepped 70 the Colonel's cot and extended
his hand.
JET" he said, ''you have saved the day
with your glorious rifles, now let bygoues
be bygones; Knox (the name By which hs
always called his daughterl knew your
worth and mettle better than did"
From that moment, through the war. and
indeed until the death q President Taylor,
the warrnest friendship existed between the
old companions in arms.
