VOLUNTEERS OF HAVANA.
with Pocket handkerchief
Promise.

In 1865, when the revolution of ten
years in Cuba began, no volunteers
existed in Havana worthy Of being
called such. There was only one old
regiment, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, and when Gov. Gen. Ter
sundi. then OF the island. tried 10 com
pletc this regiment he found the task
diiiicnlt of accomplishment on ac-
count OF the prevailing uuwillingness
to enlist. But just at this time, most
providcntinlly for the relief OF his
dilemma. some unknown hands COW
cred the walls of Matnnzas, near Ha-
yana. with huge posters promising
each Spanard hie passage home ami
the privilege of carrying away with
him whatever his pocket handkerchief
could contain in the event Of his en-
listment.
The effect of this stimulus TO the
tagging pulse of the public WIS elcc'
trical. and the enrolment OF $4,000
men followed within 4s hours. The
volunteers thus came into existence
with their chiefs In the majority. But
the ruined merchants oi ;he city o
Havana soon found out and objected
TO the newly risen power. This oppo
sition increased upon tie arrival II
Cuba of the new governor-genera
Dulcc, who came in 1869 as representa-
tive OF the revolutionary government
in Spain. lie was man of good faith
empowered by the government {,

and that has lately been offered. H'

THIEVES AT A WEDDING.
now Some Valuable Jewels We're
stolen mt n swell Function
in Paris.


That the high social function should
prove valuable field for the expoita-
ton of the sneak thief is not an en-
tircly new idea. Such operations havc
been going on more or less since the
world first heard of the proyerbial
wolves in sleeps clothing. Every once
in awhile there is recrudescencc of
this sort of annoyance in large social
centers, and it behooves society people
to have a weather eye out for the
crooks. A recent letter from abroad
is authority for the story that sneak
thieves in evening dress have been
operating in the fashionable quarters
OF Paris OF late, to the exaspcration Of
the police. At the wedding of a noble
pair recently there was CONSERVATION
when the word was passed quietly
among u few of the guests that a high
ly valuable cluster of diamonds, the
gift of the bridegroom to his bride,
had been taken from under the very
nose of the defective set to watch the
presents. Orders were given to bar all
exits until search could be made. a
lackey reached n side entrance just in
time to see a tall man pass a woman in
evening dress and opera cloak through
the door. Her companion was in tho
act Of following her when the servant
threw himself on the door, catching
the fellow by the arm. The thief, foI
such he was, made frantic effort &c
free himself and got away. leaving q
large piece of his overcoat in the door
The diamonds were not recovered.

name of e. b. Hamilton received a
letter addressed to him, care the Rec
ORD Printing company, this city. Up
on his first glance at the letter he
knew there had been a mis- take in the
address upon the envelope, for from
the text he learned that the epistle
was meant for another Hamilton of
the same initials. with the Record
Printing company. Detroit, Mimi.
Therefore he resealed the letter and
added the correct address to tie
envelope. He remailed the letter.
Before it could have reached it's
destination in Minnesota he received
another letter addressed to him. In
closed he found a note and a letter
that had been received by a C. B.
Hamilton, of the Record Printing
company, Detroit, MINI. The note
apologized for the letter having been
opened, and closed with the trust
that hereafter Minnesota and Michi-
gan mail might not be mixed in tram
sit And now C. B. Hamilton, of the
Record Printing company, Detroit,

name of G.. b. Hamilton, ~ the Re-

Brother Hodges, OF the Sleepy Eye
Herald, uselt ssly allowed himself to
get excited about some things
the St. Cloud Journal-Pre pub
lisned concerning the bad treatment

ceive from the democrats. Editor
Hodges certainly shouldn't take the
Journal Press as a basis for any
thing OF that kind. The wish is
father to the thought with the J. P.
1t doesn't look like bad treatment
to appoint MIR. Rindahl, one of the
most prominent populists in the

fairly. There is no use delighting
