Cuban Cubs The Sensational Titbtts


of the World. i


The New York World of the 9Th gives
US the following racy sketches:


THE MAN WITH TIE WHITE HAT.


The Man with the White Hat" who
has won an almost historical renown for
himself in his connection with the Cuban
expedition, is still in town, and did not
leave with the Arsgo. Since the depart
ure of General Jordan the Man with the
White Hat is in command Of all the ar.
raugements for the departure of troops
in all the Atlantic cities of the North
and South. BE is an old officer, aud has
seen brilliant service, aud of most
difficult kind, in the Northern armies
He will remain in the city for q week or
ten days, and when he leaves it will be
10 take command of the last expedition
which is to leave for Cuba from the
United States. The expedition will prob.
ably leave Charleston or New Orleans,
as the man in the white hat says that it
is much easier to ship recruits from the
Southern ports than from the Northern
cities, as the authorities do not bother
their heads down South at all about the
enforcement of the neutrality laws, aud,
in addition, the men who have served
south of Masen and Dixon's line are
certain to be acclimated to greater
degree than is possible among Northern
ers. The man in the white hat states
that there is plenty of money in the
Cuban treasury, and that all bills are
paid on demand


GENERAL JORDAN.


1t was stated in yesterdays World
that General Jordan would command the
Cuban army when all the contingents
were united. This is mistake of ours.
We are assured by the party who showed
US The muster rolls that General Jordan,
who is said to be the great organizing
officer of the old Confederate army, will
not command the Cuban army, but will
merely perfect its organization, and that
the officer that is to command it went
out disguised on Tuesday in the Arago
as q private soldier, and that he did not
discover himself to the men until the yes
sci had left the harbsr. This officer is
we'll known in the old regular aud volpn-
teer armies, aud is of frst-class capa'
bility. 20.

No sooner is the Arago gone out into
deep water than we are destined to have
fresh sensation. 1t is alleged that the
Quaker City is now being fitted out in
this city as Cuban privateer and cruz
ser. She is to be equipped, like the old
Alabama, with few guns and is said to
be intended to destroy Spanish COM
msrce. If go, it will be necessary for
the vessel to go to sea and afterward have
her guns conveyed to her from the city.
At any rate, we hope General Barlow
will not neglect timely warning. We
do not assert positively that the Quaker
City is Cuban privateer, but let Mar
shal Barlow step over to the foot of
Twelfth street, and look at the strange
manner in which the vessel is being
altered. and maybe it might do q good
deal of good-even if the visit be at the
hour. II is asserted that Gen.
eral Glocouris returned to this city on
Tuesday by tug from the Arago.

met the vessel at Liverpool in which
her father had sailed from America,
only to receive the tidings that
he had died at sea when only a
few days out. She then returned
to Paris, where she applied herself se'
riossIy to the study of musical compost

culiar aptitude. After passing 4 rigid
preparatory examination she was admit
ted as special scholar-an almost un

the conservatory, there being no female
class in any way approaching her degree
of advancement, and came out most
creditably at the end. She has already
composed several charming little parlor
operas; and much Of the dance music
played at Musard's Champ Elyses con-
certs during the past two summers ema-
mated from her brain. She is also for
eign correspondent to one of our most

PRESERVING GREEN CORN.-Take
the corn when it is sufficiently ma
tured for table use, remove the husk
from it, and boil it nearly as much as
you would if you we're going to use it

the corn in the jar with common salt;

and the plain fare of the convent did

might do well as singer at public

the new dispensation the Church had Ten set apart
another day OF resl-Sunday. Under the old law
the Sabbath (the seventh day OF the week. was tn G
day kept holy, but the new day was that on whc h
Christ arose from the dead. The observance OF
Sunday under the new dlspensaton was not SO

OF freedom than servitude. Still the real spirit OF

holy by Christians. The Church ordained that on
that day Christians should give up their

OF the Church in regard 10 the observance OF sun

The dulness ana quiet Of the summer have given
place to great activity In Wall street AFFAIRS and the
fall campaign opens with unusual briskness The chief
movements Of the past week were In the Gold ROOM
where a bull combination OF reputed large capital
and possessing und0ubted boldness have taken the
market by storm and precpttated a contest seldom
equaled in monetary affairs for the enormous char
acter OF the transactions involved. IL seems that

bids, but in advance Of the then market price, The

From the Sandusky (Ohio) Register, July 2s.


Thirty-three years ago there lived in Lewiston,
Hopkins, who had a child, boy, between three
and four years of age. One day, while the
farmer was at work in a field some distance
from the farmhouse, the boy started from the
house across the fields to see his father The
last seen of the little fellow when he left the
house. Hundreds of people turned out to search
for the lost child.


The river was dragged, the woods searched,
rewards offered, but all to no purpose. After
days of weary and anxious search, the little fell
low was given up by the parents and sympa-
thizing friends. The few Indians living in that
neighborhood were friendly and peaceable, and
no suspicion ever attached to them, and the
affair was forgotten or only talked of as mys-
terious disappearance. The Hopkins family at
length left their old home and settled in Illinois,
and up to ten days ago none of their old neigh
bors in Logan county had expected to any
member of the family again. The astonishment
of the old settlers in and about the neighborhood
can be conceived when, the week before last,
tall man, Drowned by exposure to the sun and
storm, and speaking the broken English of the
half-cNilized Indians made his appearance ut
Lewiston, and claimed to be the child missed
thirty-three years ago. He stated that Chero
kee Indian, wandering through that section,
had enticed him from the field as he was going
in search of his father and had carried him to
the Far West. The old chief had treated him rs
his own son. and having been taken away ut so
early an age, the memory of his parents and
former life had faded from his mind. For
thirty odd years he lived as an Indian, and
supposed that he was the son of the old chief
who claimed to be his father. A few months
since the chief then high in rank in the
Cherokee Nation, and very advanced in age,
found himself on his death-bed. Shortly before
he died he called his adopted son to his bedside
and informed him who and what he was. AS
soon as the old chief was dead and buried
Hopkins came to Logan county in search of
his parents, whom he found had moved to
Champaign City, Ill. He, however, remained
during last week at Lewistown, to crafty the
curiosity of the old settlers, who had aided in
the search for him thirty-three years ago.
His temperance has caused quite as much eX
element in Logan county as did his sudden and
mysterious disappearance third of century
