CUBA AN Ell DORADO.
Mr.. Massey Thinks Cuba the Garden Spot
Of the World.

Editor The Colored American
reading your paper of April 21st, fine
published in it's columns the following
article which was published without
any authority from me.
MI, David q Massey, of New York City
but who has been sojournipg in Cuba for th'
past year, is visitor in this city. MIR. Massey
visited Santiago de Cuba, Havana, and mos
of the points of interest. He does not paint 6
very glowing picture OF the condition nor O.
the opportunities down in that country. Hs
brought q most fragrant box OF Havana ct
gars, the gift OF Mr.. r. NJ. r. Nelson to oul
Mr.. Cooper Mr.. Massey does not think Of
returning to Cuba.
L have not the ability to do justice to
Cuba by painting GLOWING picture %
yet I do not care to be misrepresented,
as have seen from personal observa'
ton, that there are a great many op'
p0rtunities opened to the Negro. in
ouD., if the proper ones will take ad.
vantage of them. I will admit that it
is no place for the dude, nor the bust
ness man, who expects to do q SIS, 900
business with $780,
l have spent twelve months in Cuba,
and have no fault to find with the
island, its people, nor my own success.
1t is to be regretted that more of our
ambitious and intelligent people are
not inclined to migrate to Cuba. One
thing to be admired in the natives is,
that they prefer their "colored breth-
rem" to the white man. The greater
part Of the prejudice which exists in
Cuba, is that which has been imported
there by the Southern whites.
1t is my intention to return to Cuba,
in company with my family, the latter
part of October, and I am sure that l |
shall not be come exasperated, by losing
that which have had the good fortune
10 obtain financially, In Cuba. In fact,
The opportunities (which will present
themselves to me, when 1 shall have
returned there, will be tenfold to any
n this country. 1 am very sorry to
peak thus, but it is true. I am aware
II the fact, that few colored Americans, |
lave had an opportunity to live, and |
tudy in Cuba, the advantages and
compare them with the disadvantages
nd possibilities of the Intelligent,
linking Negro in America.
I am personally acquainted with an
Individual who failed in Cuba, and
tho, on account of his great disaps
ointment, seems to feel that others
annot succeed there, which is mis-.
aken idea, as there are colored Ameri-
ans who are making q success there

UNSOLICITED PROOF.
The Telegram's Circulation Proven by
an Advertiser.

The advertisement of w. e. Terrill
& Co., the enterprising Montpelier
druggists appears in this issue of THE
TELEGRAM. 1t came to us entirely
unsolicited. This firm makes and
wholesale in this vicinity several
valuable preparations. After making
a thorough canvass of the field within
a radius of thirty miles of Barre; con-
sulting with their dealers and others,
Mr.. Terrill placed his advertisement
in The TELEGRAM, because, as he eX-
pressed it, 81 found it had by far the
largest circulation and they told me
it was also increasing rapidly as the
merits of the paper became known. y
This is all and more than we have
claimed for TIE TELEGRAM.

From Gen. Buffers despatch,
