The Local PAPER.

''Your paper tells you when to go to
county court, and probate court" says
eminent clergyman, land when to send
your children to school. 1t tells you
who is dead, who is married, who is
sick, who is born and many other things
you would not know. 1t calls attention
to public enterprise, and advocates the
best school of law and order in town.
II records the marriage of your daugh-
ter. the death of your son, the illness
of your wife, free of charge. 1t sets
forth the advantages and attractions of
your town. invites immigration, and is
the first TO welcome newcomers. Yet
in spite of these benefits some people
say the home paper is not half so good
as the city paper, which has no interest
in their business or success. The home
paper; like the church. is too often
neglected By those who are benefited
by it "

MADRID, September 19.-The Minister
Of War, General Correa, has Issued in
structions for the return of the Spanish
troops in the West Indies. The sick are
to leave first, and the archives, especially
those relating to the war, will be brought
to Spain, with the arms, ammunition,
flags. and material stored in Cuba and
Porto Rico.
The Minister is greatly incensed at Cen
eral Toral for having sent him dispatch,
on tho latters arrival at Vigo SPAIN,
from Santiago de cuba, and said Toral
ought TO be cOurt-martialled for MS con-
duct as Governor OF Santiago.
There is much indignation here at the
fact that there were lS deaths during the
voyage among the 1000 Spanish on the
transport San Ignacio de Loyola from
Santiago de cuba. The Spaniards attrl-
butte this heavy death-rate to the 'inhu-
manity OF the Americans in obhging sick
Spaniards to embark, and make room IN

OF thousand colors skilfully thrown by
prisms upon a semi-circle OF mirrors in
the centre OF which stands the greatest
OF dancers, Diana" was striking. She
introduced herself TO the audience in a
gay Partisan costume sang a song, passed
before the mirrors. and, presto change,
she appeared draped In a gown of gauze
brilliant with the beautiful colors of the
prisms. She was repeatedly encored.
Hoppe came before his audience in In
dian club Juggling that greatly pleased
them. and ellison & Perry a capital team

singing and natural comedy while Will

siderably over twelve hundred, and was
next to the largest OF the season.
