there any wonder that Cubans can
get no justice when Cubans can
not sit On juries?
1.-THE status of the daughters of
the classes of Cubans who are not
wealthy, is deplorable. They are
not allowed to become telegraph
operators or clerks in stores. They
are compelled to make shirts, jack
cts and wearing apparel generally
for plantation hands at the small
est wages. Fancy a sensitive, high
strung woman working from early
morning until Il o'clock at night
for 80 and 80 cents. These young
women are well educated and per-
fectly capable of teaching in the
public schools, but there again Gu
bans are not allowed to work. All
the teachers are sent over from
Spain.
Fancy a social gathering where
the Cubans are enjoying them
selves compelled to associate with
THE GALLEGos AsTURIAYos,
the lowest classes of Spaniards,
who force themselves into these
gatherings. What can we do? They
are the men who furnish the work
to the women, and if they were de-
pied access to these socials that
work would be cut off. Cubans who
we're wealthy before'6S are now de-
pendent upon the caprice of the
Spaniards for employment.
There is a secret society which

Cuba. 1t is known as the Nanigos,

IN these Nanigos and take no steps

Joncha tried to break up this or
yanized system of murder and pill
age, after transporting 10000 of

oelled to resign his office and re-

highly excited over 1. he appearance of a
strange and uncouth c. eature IN that
vicinity. The beast is desc. 'oeu as pc
ing creature that far outdoes L, 'e hight-
mare ideas of the mythologists. IL Is
equally at home in the water, on l. u
land or among the tall trees of the
neighborhOod, where it has been most
frequently seen. The general contour
of the head reminds one of some gigantic
serpent with this exception: The 'snout"
terminates in bulbus, monkey faced
knot, which much resembles the physi-
ognomy of some gigantic ape. From
the neck down, with the exception of
some fin shaped fippers, which extend
from the arms to the waist, the creature
resembles man, only that the toes and
fingers are armed with claws from two
to six inches long.
Tracks made by the beast in the soft
mud around Hennis lake have been
taken to Donner's Grove, where they are
kept on exhibition in druggists show
case. Those who have seen the horrid
thing face to face say that it is 4 full
nine feet in height, which could hardly
be believed only for the fact that the
tracks mentioned above are within a
small fraction of fifteen inches in length.
Fishermen who surprised the monster
sitting silently ON a mass of driftwood
declared that its back looked like an al
liGators, and that it had a caudal ter
mination a yard long, which forhed like
the tail of a fish.-St. Louis Republic.

VOLUME XVIII.

The sentence Of death against
Col H Clay King, the murderer Of
David H Poston, was yesterday
committed to Imprisonment fol-
life, and thus is crowned with sue
cess the first step to bring about
his ultimate freedom. The news
is received by the press and peo-
pie at Memphis, the scene of the
tragedy, as the "deadliest blow
ever struck at law and order in the
State, and ON every hand the re-
mark is heard that, hereafter, poor
men who could not hire lawyers
to defend them aud defeat justice
for them, would have to take care
of themselves against men who
have money; in other words, that
they must be law unto them
selves, and get the drop F" Col.
Kings career previous to his ac-
guardianship with the woman
in the case" who, in this instance,
was the widow of Gen. Pillow, of
Confederate fame, was a creditable
one, but since that occurrence Col.
King has developed most vicious
proclivities. For a considerable
time Col. King maintained fla
grant Illicit relations with Mrs.
Pillow, and even deserted his wife
and children, after treating them
with great harshness and cruelty.
He subsequently endeavored to oh
tain a divorce from his wife, but
in this was unsuccessful. The
immediate alleged cause of the
murder of poston, was the course
of the latter in bringing forward
evidence which reflected upon Col.
Kings wife at the triaf of suit
between King and his mistress, he
having by this time bee, ones thor
oughly disenchanted. 1t is said
that Poston needlessly introduced
the evidence, and that King being
'keenly sensitive" Of the insult
which had been put npon his wife,
brooded over it night and day I'M
til it eliminated in the tragedy.
That King, who had long abused
and heaped insults upon the wife
Of his bosom, whose sensitfyeness
had become so dull that he could !

Col. King was a gen

magnitude of his errors, which in
luced him to seek consolation in

vas not theman who could
eek consolation in repent
ng of his misdeeds. He was
rave gentleman when his inclina-
ions were repressed; when they
roke forth he became a cowardly
ssassin. So far as Poston was
oncerned, it is not clear whether
is action in introducing the OBJ
ectionable evidence was justifia-
lie or not. 1t Is probable, how
yer, that he stretched his privi-
eyes as counsel in dealing with :

In Holland the children hang up their

them, provided they do not disturb him
in his visit.
Bohemian children listen anxiously on
Christmas eve for the chariot and white

flying through the air with his krippe

go gravely with their parents to churches
and cathedral to see the bambino, or
saint, who presents them with their
Christmas gifts.
The Spanish children hide their shoes
or slippers in the bushes on Christmas
eve, and find them filed with fruit and
sugar plums on Christmas morning.
In France the young people stand their
