Some time ago there was dance in q
the settlers and their wives. Most Of
the married ladies had babies with
them, whose noisy perversity required
too much attention to allow the ladies
the full swing of their souls pleasure
in the dance. SO a number of young men
present gallantly volunteered to watch
over the refractory infants. so that their
mothers could indulge without let or
hindrance in the sweets of the Eight
fantastic" exercise
The gallant offer was readily and
confidingly accepted, but no sooner had
the women left their dear charges to
the care of those mischievous young ras-
Gals than they commenced stuffing the
infants, changing the clothing and Civ
ing one the apparel Of another. till all
were transmogrified.
The dance and the music continued
into the I'VE sma' hours, and then il
was time to go home The lights were
lowered, and each mother burrieGly
took a baby, in the dress Of her own,
and started for home, which, in many
instances, was 10 OF IL miles away.
The following morning there was :.
prodigious row in the settlement Moth
ers discovered what had occurred, and
then commenced some of the tallest fe
male pedestrianism on record Living
as they did miles apart, it required two
full days to unmix the babies and as
many months to restore the mothers %
their naturally sweet dispositions
Those young men never venture into
that settlement now 1t wouldn't be

The sugar production Of Cuba enor-
nous as it now is, can be increased ten
fold. And by the aid of modern inn
provements in the method Of manufac-
ture sugar can be produced so cheaply
there that no other country in the world
can fairly compete with 1t. Only tithe
of the lands adapted to sugar is now
under cultivation. Coffee growing,
which was once in the front rank of its
industries, has now fallen to matter
of small Importance With capital, and
confidence in the honesty and good will
of the government, this industry could
again be put upon profitable footing.
SO near as it is to us. and with the rap
i'd Improvement in means Of transporta-
tion, it is the natural winter garden for
the United States. There is no question
about the frost line, that bugbear Of
the fruit and vegetable growers in our
own south. and with cheap lands and
cheap labor and the encouragement
that steamboat lines are now giving we
could be supplied unfailingly with trop-
ical products from this source. Bananas,
cocoanuts, oranges, lemons, pineapples.
would all pay well for careful and sys-
tematio cultivation. .-Lippincott'A

THE MEN IN UNIFORMS.
THE N. O. II. TO BE srRENGTBENED
iNro A REGIMENT.


Company C, N. G. H., will mee'
at the Drill Sled NJ jnday evening
to perfect its organization. Sixty
one members have so far beer
enrolled. 1t is purposed to have a
haole captain and native under
officers. Lieutenant G.. w. r.
King, Company L, is mentioned,
Captain Paul Smith was invited &c
serve also Captain Pratt as drillmas-
'er. Jas. H. Boyd is the most likely
candidate for the first lieutenancy.
Charles Wilcox, secretary of the
Board of Health, is spoken of for
the position of second lieutenant,
though George Desha will also
probably be candidate.
Prior to the next general turn
out the company will be formed
into a regiment of two battalions.
Including G and H, the two COM
panies now in course of formation,
each battalion will contain one
company of regulars and three of
volunteers. This will give each
about $50 men.
The election Of a lieutenant
colonel and major will take place
in the near future. Colonel Fisher
and Major Mcleod will both doubt
less be reelected. 1t is the pur-
pose of Colonel McLain to have the
lieutenant-colonel act as major of
one Of the battalions. Captain
Pratt will continue as post adju-
tant. Two other adjutants may be
selected, or an arrangement where.
by company officers will act in that
capacity may be made. A plan to
have the lieutenants act in rotation
as adjutants has met with favor
among company commanders.
Colonel McLain will institute a
system of company drills that will
infuse new life into that part Of
the work. He purposes to per-
sonally drill each company, officers
and men, on stated evenings that
they may become familiar with his
commands. Each company will
also be drilled in handling the
Hotchkiss guns.
Company H is progressing fine
ly. A prominent Citizens Guards
man may be the first captain.
About forty names have already
been enrolled. The list includes
a number of good soldiers. Twelve
or fifteen natives have applied for
admission. The matter will be
duly considered.
A zouave company is really the
latest talk. 1t is merely suggested
as yet. The difficulties in the way
of such an organization are said to
be leader who is Up in the tactics
and suitable men. Small, active
men are required. ..
All of the companies will turn
out next Friday. There will De
company Of police, the G. A. R.
Post, the Philadelphia battalion,
the N. G. H in the parade
The latter will wear white trousers
and leggings. Each company will
be required to parade not less than
81 men.

Surely few housewarmings-and a

with more satisfaction and pride than
that which attended the first occupancy
of the dwelling Of Mrs. Kate Choate of

who organized the festivities and height.
ened the delight Of their hostess by leav.
ing substantial tokens of their regard,
including complete set Of furniture
for the new parlor.
Mr. Whittier was present among the
guests and made the speech Of congrat
ulation, concluding it with the recita.
tion Of a poem which he modestly de.
scribed as piece Of machine poetry in
trusted to him Tor the occasion. It was
his own, Of course, and 1t is given in

published. The last three verses are al
/ follows:
Thanks, then, 20 Kate Choatei
Let the idle take note
What their hagers were mAde for.
She, cheerful and Jolly,
Worked on late and early
And bOught-whAt she paid for.
Never vainly repining
Nor begging nor whining.
The morning star wrinkles
On no beart that's lighter
As she makes the world whittier
And snooths out It's wrinkles
So long Bfe to Katol
May her heirs have 10 wait
Till they re gray In attendance,
And the fatiron press on.
Still teaching its lesson
OF brave independence
Mr.. Whittier's early poems accorded,
in 'Songs Of Labor" due poetic hon
ors to the professions Of drover. shoe.
maker, shipbui lder, farmer and fisher
man. 1t is pleasant to find him also
gracefully recognizing the worth Of a
profession no less useful and honorable,
but less often honored. Long life to
Kate. " too. he has doubtless secured,
in transferring her f1atiron and all
from the steamy realm OF the kitchen to
