Boston Courier. DON MIGUEL It was about fifty years ago, at the close of one of the many rebellions which are continually taking place in thU beautiful bland of Cuba. The in urgent had been crushed by the Spanish authorities, nanny of the leaders had been captured and executed, others transported to old Spain for life-long imnrlsonment, but tho commander of the rebel army, Don Mljruel del Rosa, had escaped and no trace of him could be found. Before the breaking out of the war Don Miguel had boon one of the most popular men in Santiago. Young and good looking, a colonel of one of the Spanish regiments stationed in the city, always leady for a dunce or bull-fight, he wa much sought after by the fair ones of this old town. His father hod been a Caatiliati, but his mother was an American, and from her he had inherited that love of jus tice and liberty common to tho Anglo Saxon race, Trading back and forth between Santiago and the ports of. tho United States was a New Kngland brigantine. Her captain and owner took with him on all of his voyages his only daughter, " her mother having died early in her childhood. With this captain and his pretty daughter Don Miguel became very friendly. He wa always the first to meet them on their arrival in port and bad taken many jolly excursions into the intortorof the island and around tho shores of tho harbor to gether. Tho young peoplo had, nat urally, fallen in love with one another, and the old captain, iilthough regret ting that Don Mignol was not n sailor, had rather encounigod them' in their love-making. He also sympathized with Don Miguel in his plans for free lag his bland from the hated Spanish yoke. And it was in the cabin of the Foam'1 (as the brigantine was called) that Don Miguel, with his few com panions from tho army, who sympa thized with him, and the loading men from the people, formulated their plot for a general uprising. The captain himself aid not tako any part in the conspiracy, nor did any of his crew. Ho had brought on his last voyage, hidden away under bU regular cargo, quite a number of riflos and a quantity of ammunition for tho insurgents, but this, with his personal sympathy and tho use of his vessel for their meetings was all he had dono to aid the upris ing. The Spanish authorities, howev er, knowing of his friendship with Don Miguel, had anchored an armed schooner alongsldo of the "Foam" and had given the captain orders not to leave his vessel, on the breaking out of the revolution, sujpeoting that the American was in some manner con nected with the plot. The rebollion proved a short-lived one. Don Miguel's followers wero poorly armed, and miserably drilled. Most of them had been brought up in abject fear of the army all of their lives, ajrd it was next to Impossible to make such troops stand before the steady advance of trained soldiers, notwithstanding tho bravery of their commander and his oiliceri They were benten in erery pitched battle, and it was only in tho mountain passes, when thoy could harass the marching column from behind rocks and trees, that they were at all successful. His nrmy gradually diminished in num bers, some were killod outright, many captured, but the majority, growing disheartened, surrendered. Don Mi guel at last found himself with only fifteen or twenty followers, and they were hunted to the deepest recesses of the forests and mountains. Finding themselves in such a plight, ail hope of succeeding as liberators was abandoned, and breaking up into small parties Of two or three each, they chose separate paths leading to the coast, where they hoped they might hail some passing vessel, and o escape from the island. Don Miguel, with one companion, resolved to return as near as possible to Santiago, and endeavor to establish communication with Captain Standish, of the "Foam." Yith his cause lost, the knowledge of tho country and of the water courses, which ho hud gained in his hunting and fishing ex 1 editions, now stood him in good stead. Taking unfrequented paths through the forest they at last reached a small hut in which lived an old fisherman, with whom Don Miguel had often spent alight during his f.shing expe ditions, r This old man, 1 although friendly to Don Miguel, hod taken no part in the uprising, owing to his age. for although able to paddle around the bay in his canoe and attend to his nets, ho was hardly strong enough to shoulder a musket And march across the rough hills, and endure the. hard ships of a soldier's life. His hut was situated about a milo from the mouth of the harbor on tho opposite shore from tho Morro. Don Miguel decided that the cave at , the ' foot of the cliff, although' tho grim fortress rose directly above, would be tho safoit place for him to hide until he could concoct some plan of escape. . In the first place tho cavo was seldom visited ex copt by his old fisherman friend, who went in when the tide and wind permitted, as it was a great feed ing grtund for a large, rock bass, which wa hardly ever hooked in any other pail of the bay; then again he well understood that propensity of hu man nature to always seek for that which thoy are very anxious to find, at a distance, and never look directly be neath thei noses. The interior of the cave was, moreover, quite dark, and unk-a a very thorough search was made, with torches, it would have been hardly possible to discover his hiding place. The same night after reaching the old man's hut, .Don Miguel and hit friend were quietly paddled down to the cave and took up their quarters on a lodge of ivCli well THE aVve high water, at the upper end. A note was stmt by the fisherman to Captain Standish and his fttir daugh ter, teliing them of hi whereabouts, and his desire to escape from the Island." This note was delivered by the old fisherman, as he paddled up to market with his fih in the early morn ing. Passing close under the stern of the "Foam." the note wai thrown on board attached to the tall of a squirm ing fish, which landed directly at Grace StandUh's feet as she was leaning against the rail of the quarter-deck, thinking about Don Miguel, and pray ing that he might still be alive. Kot having heard from him directly since the breaking out of the revolution, and now during the past few weeks no word had reached her ears con cerning him, she had. nearly ceased to hope. . Startled at first by the fish flipping on the deck, her quick eyes at once caught sight of the paper, and her heart, ready to seize on the slight est sign, told her at once that it was the message she was longing for, yet was afraid would never come. In this way communication was es tablished between the brigantine and Don MigucL The old fisherman went quietly from one to the other, ex changing their me3sngos and supplying the fugitives with necessary provisions. The authorities had gradually relaxed their vigilance in regard to the "Foam." One alter another tho ring leaders of the rebellion had been captured, and not one would implicate Captain Stan dish in any way. So when the Cap tain demanded the right of an Ameri can citizen to take his vessel to sea, and threatened them with diro results if he was not allowed to do so, the Commander-in-Chief of the Spanish army, after having first thoroughly search! the brigantine for Don Miguel, gave bim tho authority to clear his vessel for the United States. After receiving this authority Captain Stan dish overhauled the "Foam" and put everything in ship-shape order. Word was sent to Don Miguel by the fisher man, and all was arranged. Late one afternoon, when the tide and the wind sei ved riirht, tho "Foam's" anchor was t-iken aboard after its long rest in the j mud of Santiago harbor, the stars and J Stripes holntad to the poik, all H spread, and escorted by an armed cutter from tho Spanish schoonor. she sailed quietly out of tho beautiful little harbor. When off the Morro the cuttor left her to pursue her course unhindered. Little did the Spanish sailors think, as they rowed back up the harbor, that hardly one hundred feet from them, within the opening of tho cave, but well back In the shadow, was the man they wore all hunting for- so eagerly. Here Don Miguel with his friend and the fisherman were eagerly waiting for darkness to come, that they might venture out and follow the brigantine. As tho sun set and darkness began to shut down on the sea, the brlgantine's course was nltered until she was stand ing back again for Santiago harbor. After an hour of anxious watching a small light was made out from the fore-castle of the "Foam." She was laid to, a ladder lowered, and in a few minutes Don Miguel was on deck, and Grace, folded In his arms, was sobbing out hor joy on his shoulder. The fish erman and Don Miguel's faithful com rade wore tukon on board, the old cane'e cattt adrift, sheets eased off, and tho 'Foam" was once more on her homoward journey. , Sail after sail was set and the little brigantine, seeming to know what was reiuired of her, and glad again to feel the sea foaming under her bow, fairly flew up the Cuban coast. After an un eventful voyage. . New Orleans was reached. Don Miguel and Grace wero duly married, the "Foam" sold and tho happy family settled down to live a quiet lue on a smnl orange planta tion, with all their sorrows and hard ships forgotten in the happy outcome of all their troublos.

Tht) Itage of Ilaml. 1 Aicrlbod to Ilrftln Influence, Physiologists and others have given much tlmo to the discussion of left and riarht handedness as exhibited iu the human species. The opinion now gen erally held Is that the preferential use of tho right hand is not due in in dividual cases to early training, but to a superior development of tho left lobe of the brain, which, as is well known, is connected with the right sido of the body. 1 The general use of the right hand in preference to the left may bo ascribed to the education of the races through generation after generation. " No ani mal shows any unusual inclination for the spoclal use of . the right limbs. The attribute, belonging solely . to the human race, probably arose gradually from the use, by the earlier races of men, from the right arm in fighting, while tho left sido arm was resorved ta cover the left side of the body, where wounds, as their experience f showed them, were most dangerous. lhose who neglected this precaution would bo most likely to be killed; and hence, In the lapse of time the natural survival would mako tho human race lu general, "right-handed," with oc casional reversions, of course, by "atavism" to the "loft-handed" con dition. The more frequent and ener getic use of the right limbs would re act upon: the brain, and bring about the excessive development of tho left lobe of that organ, such as now gener ally exists. r The left hand Bhoutd be used as much and as often as possible, thus adding strength to both mind and body.
