CUBAN PAPER CURRENCY.
Circulating Bits of Paper Printed In
the United States.

the United States.
The story of the money is interest
ing. At the time the Spaniards were
holding meetings denouncing our gov
erment and passing resolutions not to
buy our goods their paper money was
being printed. In due time 1t was put
into circulation, supported by the cap
tain generals decree ordering it to be
taken as gold in payment of all bills ex-
cept those owed to the government.
Anyone refusing to SO receive it was to
be imprisoned. Then II Mas paid out to
the aoldiers and government employees,
Who lost no TING in turning 1t over to
the various shopkeepers and merchants.
Imagine the effect op the patriotic
Spanlards who but few months be-
fore had denounced the United States
and its products, now given little bit
of square paper in exchange for their
goods, with the startling information
printed IL the lower margin that that
bit Of paper came from New York. I'm
agine the effect upon the 100000 sol
diers and their officers, who but a few
months ago were confident Of their
ability to land in Florida, march on to
Washington and capture New York,
when the millions OF little bits of paper,
bearing the American Bank Note COM
pany's imprint, were given them for
money. "What! those American dew
lis making our money!" was the excla-
nation Of surprise on every hand.
Now Spanish officers no longer talk
of invading the United States. They
have awakened to the fact thatgenerally
we have avery wellorganizedp police force
which, with whatever faults they may
have, are capable of putting any dis
orderly crowd of foreigners that might
attempt to land into Jail at once. Prob
ably this money printed in the United
States has had the most to do with
bringing the Spaniard to his senses.
Weyler's attempt to force the paper
currency into circulation at its face
value in gold has been as unsuccessful
as his attempts to do many other
things. This fat money cannot be used
in Spain, and, although the police may
be empowered to arrest anyone in Cuba
for refusing to exchange their goods OF
services for bits of paper printed in the
United States, the merchant may raise
the price Of his goods and the laborer
the price of his hire.-Leslie's Weekly.

A Theory That Human Beings and All

A Theory That Human Beings and All
Life Are Aggregntions of Them.
M. Paris, who succeeded to the seat
of the great Pasteur in the French acad-
envy, referred in his inaugural address
10 the interesting theory that human
beings and all life are aggregations OF
microbes.
"The microbes" he said, "were known
before Pasteur, but the part which they
played in nature was not clearly dis
cerned. They penetrate into the It's
sues of the human body and produce in
fictitious disease; they people the air;
they fill the water; they satlrate the
soil; dwell in animals and plants; they
develop us, serve our purposes, and
threaten us from all sides.
"Nay, they are perhaps ourselves.
The life of superior beings appears to
science as the result of myriads of these
elementary existences. Their colonies,
more and more populous and differen-
tiated, composed from the merest in
sect to the rose, the cedar, the eagle, the
whale, the man, the immense and daz-
zling network in the meshes of which
they ceaselessly circulate, destroyed
and yet renewed, ever since there has
been produced and without doubt pro-
duced by them on this globe of ours
the mysterious dawning of life. This,
therefore, is what the study of microbes
has revealed to amazed humanity.@

PETER NbHER rs REFEREE.
The Big Irishman is Not a Success in
That Role.
He Again Fails to Give Satisfaction
to a Large Crowd-Buck Stclzer's
Claim in Colurnbus-The Christ
mas Foot Ball Game-Other
Sporting Matters.

Peter Maher, it appears, is not sue
cess in the role Of referee. He has Off
ciated in several bouts, beginning with
the Campbell-Stolzer contest before the
M. A. c., and has failed to give salts
faction in any. Buck Stolzer has been
taking for publication in Columbus,
and makes an awful ''squeaP' about his
treatment by Maher and the NJ. A. c..
Whatever standing Stolzer has in the
pugilistic world, is due to the II. A. c..
and he has always been well treated
by the club. He says he is anxious to
meet Campbell again, anywhere but be-
fore the Metropolitan Club. Whatever
may be said of Makers decision, Stol-
ger is defeated man. Stolzer also de-
feated Mike Farragher, and Farragher
has tried in vain to get another match.
If Stolzer thinks Campbell should try
him again, it might be well to remind
StolZer that he should give Farragher
another chance. There are a great
many lovers of boxing who think Stol-
ger is afraid Of the result Of another
contest with the Youngstown lad.
Anent the talk about Peter Maher, an
exchange remarks that there is q funny
story going the rounds about Peter
Maher in his guise as a referee. Peter
made out pretty well in the character
three weeks ago at Chester, Pa, but his
style at Waterbury, Conn, a few nights
ago made him many enemies. The bout
was between Dan Murphy and George
Byers, the colored scrapper. Byers had
all the best Of the fight
At the finish Maher justly informed
Byers that he had won. The decision
did not suit the master of ceremonies
or the crowd, which was composed OF
men whose names were Of the same na-
tional derivation as Murphy's.
The crowd yelled Murphy, Murphy"
or "a draw, a draw" xhe master of
ceremonies stated the case to the Irish
man whose business it was to decide on
the merits, saying that the spectators
would never agree that the coon had
defeated Murphy. Cali right" re-
Joined Maher, ''call it what you ---
please" ThereupOn the formal an
nouncement was made'that "the referee
calls it a draw"
Immediately the few friends Of the
colored man made a rush for Maher
and exclaimed, in one voice: why, you
gave the decision to Byers!" Iaher
responded: 81 did" The cry then
came: "But the announcer gives it a
draw" What the - does he know
about it?" replied Peter. But the draw
decision stood, and Maher ran away.
