Nothing is known at the navy de-
partment Of the reported cutting Of the
cable connecting Cuba with Key West
by the Mangrove ten miles out at sea.
There is a good deal Of doubt as to the
accuracy Of the report and it is be-
lieved that the most that has been done
IN that direction has been the tapping
OF the cable for strategic purposes. The
United States is party to a convention
which binds all the signatories-most of
the marine powers Of the world-to re-
frain from interference with cables in
the event Of war. Perry Belmont, while
chairman of the house committee on
foreign affairs, labored to this end for
several years. and finally succeeded in
having the United States sign the agree
ment.
naval officer Of high rank, when
questioned on the subject, remarked
that almost all agreements are sus-
pended by war when they injure the in
eSASSeo VI oHC VI Tie COTlDdldHCS ana
favor the other. The cable connecting
Cuba with Madrid would be a most
powerful assistance to the Spanish
cause just now, and would work equal
injury to us; wherefore. said the officer,
a prudent naval commander doubtless
would cut the cable first and let the
diplomats talk about it afterwards.

Wonderful Figure.

One of the most marvellous worImen
in the world is HananHma Masakichi
of tokyo, who has carved hgp5 g lin
wood so like himself that who's the two
are placed side by side it is said to be
almost impossible to tell which lives
and brcathes and which does not.
By several connoisseurs i'll art this
wooden figure has been pronounced tho
most perfect and human image OF man
ever made. Masal1ichi has faithfully
reproduced every scar, vein aud wrinkle
to be seen on his own body. The, dgure
is composed of 1000 pieces Of wood.
dovetailed and jointed with such won
derful skill that no seams can be de-
tected.
Tiny holes were Drilled for tho recep-
ton of hairs, and the wooden figore has
glass eyes and eyclashes in which no
dissimilarity to Masakichi S own can be
detected.
The Japanese artist posed between
two mirrors while modelling this figure,
and for some time after its completion
he posed frequently beside it, u the
confusion of spectators, who were often
entirely at loss as to which WAS the
artist. The figure stands with little
mask i'll one hand and an instrument
for carving i'm tho other. The lifeliko
eyes are apparently gazing at the mask,
and the face wears "a look of intense abb
sorption.

The Only Man Saved.

One Kelly led a fllibustering expedi-
ton into Cuba at some time In the
course of the ten years war, was cap
tured by the Spanlards, and, with his
entire force, condemned to death. On
the day Of execution he asked one
last favor-he wanted to write o few
letters to friends in the United States.
This being granted, he set 10 work
with will, addressing short notes to
President Grant, Vice President VIII
son and all the members Of the Cabi-
net, whom he placed on a most IA
miliar footing. II was Dear Ulysses
MY Dear Harry" Dear Ham," for
Secretary Fish; Dear George" for
Secretary Boutwell,; Dear Zach" for
Secretary Chandler; Dear Bill" for
Secretary Belknap; my Dear
George" for Secretary Robson;
"My Dear Old JIM" for Postmaster
General Marshall, and Dear Perry"
for Attorney General Pierrepont.
Inc tenor OF the notes was. i am
here In the hands of the Spaniards,
who ore treating me well, and have
been condemned TO be shot. The exc
cution takes place at noon today, and
] seize the opportunity 10 say fare
well. leave my memory in your
hands" He had never in his life seen
Grant or any of his Cabinet, but the
Spanish commander, who knew some
English, was SO overcome by Kelly's
Importance as friend Of the Presi-
dent and his official family that he
set him free and enabled him to get
out Of Cuba. II Is supposed that his
comrades were shot. Kelly is well
known in Philadelphia.--The New

A Story Of Dickens.

When l was girl OF about ten
years of age, says one OF the Oldest
inhabitants of Broadstairs, during .
dreadful winter was sent by my pa
rents, who were very poor, to Rams
gate to buy myself pair Of strong
winter boots. On my way home the
cold was intense, and, holding the
parcel close to me, found, when
nearly at my journeys end, that the
boots had slipped out of the parcel,
and that l only held the brown paper
in my hands.
With my heart in my mouth, ran
back by the way | had come, and
meeting man whom | had passed
some time previously, asked him II
he had seen the boots; and he an
swered gruffly: "No!"
Continuing my search, | met q man
in n dog-cart, who inquired what was
the hurry. / toiu him of my loss.
After telling him oil my story, he told
me to jump up with him, and soon we
