Eighty-Five Men Lenve to Join the
Insurgents.

Insurgents.
Boston. Dec. 15.-Eighty- men.
strong fellows, intelligent and well up
in military drilling. have left Boston
bound for Cuba, where they will fight
in the army of the insurgents. They
were in command of Louis Marshall of
East Boston, who has seen service in
actual warfare. He was q corporal
in the Union army during the rebel
lion
The men volunteered their services
to the cause over a month ago, and
since that time they have been drilling
each day and anxiously awaiting the
time for their departure. They re-
ceived no promises in the way of
return for their services from the
Cuban junta in this city, but they
persisted in their requests to be en-
listed as volunteers. When they
boarded the cars last evening each
man carried in his pocket the latest
revised manual of military tactics and
enough money TO purchase supplies for
many days. They will buy their own
rifles and side arms, if necessary, be-
fore they sail Their commander Mr.
Marshall. Will be given a captains
commission in the insurgent army,
when they arrive in Cuba. When they
arrive in New York the men will be
marched to one of the suburbs, where
they will be drilled with other re-
crafts for few days, after which they
will all embark for the seat OF war.
The men will be shipped from New
York to Jamaica on a British steamer,
afterward sailing in small parties to
Cuba, landing at some one of the
many little inlets of which the Spanish
as vet know nothing. Some may go
via Jacksonville. Many men have
shipped from that port to Jamaica on
British ships as colonists. A few went
by boat from Boston to New York and
thence to Cuba by way of Key West.

A FANTASY.

Is summer dead,
With her beautiful bloom
And her breath like the incense of gods
Her laughing skies, and crown
OF silver moon and stars?
In what pale gloom
Hath she laid down?
And happy earth's restraining bars
Where she hath made her bed,
She was too fair to die,
| see her as she came across the hills,
Stately and slow. deep-bOsomed, rich anC
warm.
Within her curving arm
Great wreathed garlands heapsng lie.
From which a wondrOus fragrance spills
Beneath her tread
Light-running rills and ripping brooks
Re9eat her wealth of happy looks
Abort her head
Az aureoie of sunshine spreads
Divergent rays of fine-spun gold.
Which minSle with her tresseS' fold,
Upon her lips gay laughter weds
Itself to maidently repose,
And in her brooding eyes
Are natures prophecies
Goodbye to summeri Good-byei
a frosty earth and cloudy sky
A sullen day and lonely night
A winding sheet all snowy white

the consideration of the bill of Mr.
Loud (Rep), California, to amend the
postal law relating to second class mail
matter, and it was the unfinished bust
ness when adjournment occurred at
4:SO O'Clock

ton, however, Messrs. Bingham (RepD,
York, pleading want oi notice, en-
deavored TO postpone action, but by
decisive votes. the house rejected all
efforts to delay the proceedings, and
Mr.. Loud opened the debate. He char
acterized the bill as the most import
ant measure that would come before
congress at this session-one whose
disposition might involve the question
of an issue of bonds by the new adj
ministration. BY shutting out of the
mails, as the bill provided, of serial
novel publications and sample copy"
newspapers, the government would
save from $40, 900, 900 to $40, 600 600 a
year, and make the postal service not
only self-sustaining, but on the basis
of present indications a source of
profit.
Most of the session was occupied in
considering the senate bill to permit
the purchasers of the Atlantic &
Pacific Railroad company to form
new corporation, with the rights. privi-
leges and obligations of the old one.
1t was amended in several particulars
and passed.

the mails, the past ten years, he said,

government of carrying this class of
matter was not less than II cents

class of business, Mr.. Lund said, the
express companies were getting the
short haul, and the government the
long haul within radius of 500 miles,
the express companies get the business,
charging cent a pound: over that dis
lance the publishers dump their load
upon the government mail for trans
mission. And it had been carried, Mr..
Lund said, ar an expense of $1.S5
pound. Continuing, Mr.. Lund said
that the chief opposition to the bill
would be directly toward the sample
copy matter He considered the abuses
arising under the privilege as more
serious than the serial publication
abuse. New York newspapers were
10th to surrender the privileges they
possess under the present law. The
opposition, he said. would come from
publications whose existence was made
possible by the sample copy" features
of present law.
Without action, the committee rose
and at 4:30 o'clock the house, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Lund, adjourned.
