The common idea as to the path of
the earth being "fXed in space" is
taken exception to by astronomers on
the ground that there are few, if any,
things in the domain of astronomy that
can really be called fixed in space--the
fact being that unceasing changes are
going on, though these changes are gen
orally so slow as to escape the notice of
a superficial observer, but are fortunate.
ly periodic, SO that they fall within the
possibility of computation.
Thus, the earth's path is not fixed,
since the ecliptio changes its position
among the stars, in consequence of
which the obliquity of the ecliptio un-
dergoes a very slow change, so that
while at present it is few seconds
more than 23 degrees % minutes, in
about 10, 900 years, astronomers calcu.
late it will be reduced to 22 degrees Is
minutes, after which it will begin to
increase again, a change SO slow and
within such narrow limits that it can
produce no sensible alterations in the
seasons.
The fact remains positive one, that,
even if the earth in its orbital and con.
sequently the sun in its apparent mo-
tion in the eoliptic were circular, neither
the motion in declination nor in right
ascension could be uniform.

prevails between themselves and the
Spanish, but there are not lacking NUT
terinRs presaging a storm. / fully ex-
peot bloody scenes will be inacted here
before long unless the American gov
ernment imposes quiet by the strong
arm Of the military. Much, however,
depends upon the conclusions agreed
upon by the American and Spanish
commissioners.
The Cubans expect that shortly an
independent republic will be recognized
as the de facto government of the island.
Already the authorities of the so called
Cuban republic have assumed some Of
the functions Of sovereignty. The other
day they issued from their headquar-
ters at Camaguey proclamation
granting an amnesty to all those guilty
of the crimes enumerated in article 48
of the penal law. OF course this play
full exercise of supreme authority is not
worth the paper it is written on. The
paramount power in Cuba now is the
American government
In many of the municipal districts of
the island planters and landowners are
making ready to set to work again.
Notwithstanding the calamities under
gone the general state of opinion seems
to be that they must set to work to re-
pair the damage caused by the insurrec-
tion and restore lost prosperity. In the
Vuelta Abajo district tobacco planters
are now hard at work, hoping to secure
for the coming season tobacco crop as
large as any in the best years. The local
authorities are getting ready the sugar
mills at Camaguey, agricultural opera
tions are now active, and great prepara-
tions are being made for the coming
harvest.
Dueling is one of the recognized in
stitutions of Cuba, but with the depar-
ture Of the Spanish forces, should the
Americans retain control, it, as also the
bulltight and lottery. will no doubt be
prohibited by law. During the continu-
ance of hostilities General Blanco placed
an interdict upon dueling, but now that
peace has been restored it is stated that
several suspended affairs of honor will
shortly be decided. DIR. Congosta, the
Cuban secretary general, who was for
merly Spanish consul at Philadelphia,
has several postponed events on his
hands.
For the benefit of intending American
visitors to Havana l may state that an
excellent apartment can be obtained for
$40 month and the very best for $50,
with coffee thrown in. The breakfast
hour is II o'clock, and the working day
is from to IL and from l to o'clock.
Contrary to the published opinion of
some New York correspondents, the Wis
itor will not find Havana a hotbed OF
vice, and he will not require to watch
his pockets to prevent their contents
from being abstracted.

er may be she always makes it point
of administering a hearty smack to her
daughter in the presence Of witnesses,
and noe is made of the fact. The
mothers intention isa kind one, though
the custom itself is bad. The reason for
it is to protect the bride should her mar
riage prove an unhappy one. In that
case she will sue for divorce. and her
plea will be that she was forced into the
marriage against her will, and ON that
score the verdict of the judge will be in
her favor.

PARTY LINE
TELEPHONE EXCHANGE SERVICE,

The CENTRAL UNION TELEPHONE COMPANY
has successfully devised apparatus by means
of which without in the least impairing
the efficiency of transmission) two or more
subscribers stations may be operated upon
the same line or circuit, and be enabled u
signal the central office, without disturbing
zach other. This improvement relieves par.
ty-line" service of its principal annoyance
and makes 1t popular with a very large class
OF telephone users.
In Offering this class OF service for either
grounded OF metallic circuits, the Company
aims TO bring that which is of the highest
grade within the satisfactory reach of those
whose requirements for telephone service are
but limited, and to make its cost TO them ma.
terially less than the regular rates charged
for "independent-line " service.
The Company refers with perfect conf
dence to those of its present subscribers who
are using "party-line" service with this
improved apparatus.
The rates for this service viii be quoted

The judge stopped again, shut up his
knife and took the remains of his stick
in his right hand, holding it on level
with his shoulder.

Both Cubans and spaniards-Fenrs
of Collision Between Them.
Wheels of Industry Again In Motion.
Especial Correspondence
HAVANA, Sept. 90. 1t is probably
owing to the strain of Moorish blood in
their veins that the Spaniards find it so
easy TO reconcile themselves to the in
evitable, but it is more difficult to ao-
count for that resiliency of mood which
can turn a great reverse into triumph
and rob the viotors of share of the
glory by rejoicing at their own defeat.
Cervantes depicted no impossible char.
aoter when he created the knight errant
Of La Mancha. Don Quixote was merely
an exaggerated type of scores of people
who may be found in Havana today.
They have the same boyish enthusiasm.
Almost equally crazy projects and no.
tions fire their imaginations. No reverses
permanently depress them. After all else
is gone hope still remains, and they
even succeed in changing defeat into a
victory in their supreme self laudation.
When the American commissioners
arrived here, they were hailed with the
most unboundod enthusiasm. The city
wore a holiday aspect, and it was quite
evident that the populace expected some
great good as the result of the labors of
the commissioners. There was something
hysterioal in this singular demonstra-
tion of emotion on the part of the Hav-
anese, and even the women and chill
dren were seemingly as much interested
as the men. They are now in calmer
mood, but when one questions them he
becomes aware that they are still people
with great expectations.
Today saw number of prominent
Cuban insurgents strolling along the
Calzada de la Reina, the fashionable
shopping district of the city. In this
fashionable thoroughfare or anywhere
else in Havana it would have been
more than their lives were worth fol-
those men to be seen abroad only few
weeks ago Since the arrival of the
American commissioners, however, they
have been flooking into the city in thou
sands from their retreats in the hills
and forests, and they now iostle unoon

ingly have made them food for vulturei

The Cubans also have the wildes
notions as to the benefits to accrue Il
them in the near future. Peace still

CONSOLATION.

Fow sleeps the rose, the lily sleeps.
The daisy sleeps; the sky in rain
Upon their graves, despairing, weepa
Not dreaming they will rise again.
Poor weeping skies, be comfortedi
Soon will return the daisy star;
The rose and lily are not dead,
But sleeping where our longings are.
'Tis but little weary while
OF sullen cloud and toneless earth
Before the spring shall wake and smile
And bring her pretty babes to birth.
And thou, poor sky, with eye OF blue,
Shalt see rerisen the new lowered year
And drop an April tear or two
For Joy once more TO find her here.
Thy happy tears shall gently fall
On all the buds that charm thee most;
Next spring brings all-or nearly all
Which with last spring was loved and lost
