Tobacco Raisins; Still a Great Industry, But Conducted on a Decreasing Scale. "Tobacco rauHg is yet one of the chief sources of wealth in Cuba," eaid Senor Don Nicholas Garrido, a rich land owner and planter of the great Spanish colony, while in this city a conple of days ago. "it is not carried on npon as great a scale as it used to be, however. For a long time it was supposed that the celebrated Vuelta Abajo region, which is situated between the 22d and 23d degrees of longi tude, was the only spot on earth where the very best grade of tobacco could grow, but lately there has been a strong competition from different parts of Spanish America, where just as good to bacco as ours can be gathered, if properly planted and cared for. Tho first condi tion that has to ba fulfilled is that of proper climate. Tobacoo thrives best in the temperate climes, for its period of vege tation last9 only three month;, and re quires an average temperature of 76 de grees during the development of the plant. The Havana species, which is so appreciated throughout the world, is ko delicate that it perishes whenever the temperature falls be low GO degrees, which, however, happens very rarely in Cuba. Tobacco does not require much water, two or three showers being quite sufficient for its growth in Cuba; but, then, dew ia our climate is quite copious, and the moisturo is received by the leaves and runs along them to the upper ring of roots. Be it on account of the soil or climate conditions, our tobacco is entirely different from that of North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky; but I see that much of the weed sold here tmder the name of Havana ib far from being genuine, and in many instances the tobacco is grown in this country or South America."

A Ktile in Grammar. The grammarian may object that Bret Ilnrte still places adverbs between the sign of the infinitive and the verb. During the negotiation of the Alabama treaty our government telegraphed to .Washington that this must not bo don. We had made great concessions, but we could not con cede "to faithfully maintain" in place of "faithfully to maintain." Whether tho phnu-c was of English or American ori gin, it was altered by Mr. Fish and Lord Grey and all was peac?. Bret Harte is not go scrupulous on this point as Mr. Glad stone's government was then, but inauy ro.tders will consider tho matter u trifle.- -London Daily Xcir.t. All Oriental MainiM-ript.

LONG IN 182-'G3-'04 the Confederate Government had lost many of its best men through the malarial influences of the swamps and low-lying country of .the Mississippi and the Arkansas rivers. Quinine became ex ceedingly valuable, but as the blockade of Southern ports grew more and more intact it was next to impossible to get any of the drug through the lines. The demand be came so great that orders were sent ont to the different commands to se lect from among their number a few men of nerve, ingenuity, and patriot ism to the Southern cause who could be depended upon under the most crit ical circumstances. These men were to be instructed iu the hazardous du ties of smuggling quinine, and were to have the sanction of the Confederate Government, and the protection, as far as it could go, of the Confederate army. They were to go into the Union lines as refugees, or in anyway deemed most advisable by them, and were to purchase large quantities of the drug, and use every means possible to get it through. Among the men selected for this hazardous duty was a young student of medicine, who has since that time become prominent as one of the best physicians of the country. Dr. James Guthrie was born in Foca houtas County, Virginia, now West Virginia, and when the war broke out enlisted in the Confederate army, final ly in 18(52 becoming attached as an assistant surgeon to General Kirby Smith's army. When the order of the War Department readied General Smith's department one of the first men selected for the hazardous tlut was young Guthiie. then a mere loy of twenty or tlierenliouts. He willingly accepted the dangerous commission, and set out for St. Louis. Mo., with credentials hidden alKut las person. When he reached St. Louis lie stowed away in a safe place several thousand dollars in gold with which lie had been provided by the Confederate Govern ment to purchase the drug. Days were spent about the hospitals by the young student and acquaintances made with the officials, until after the lapse of a few weeks he became to all intents and appearance a regular ashistaut of the surgeons. No suspicion of the character of his business was ever created, and it was not long before young Guthrie was able to go about the city purchasing j medicines and drugs ostensibly for use j at the hospitals where so many Union ' soldiers lay wounded and sick. Day I after day the young man purchascd,first ' here and then there, at different dmg stores, ounce after ounce of quinine until after the lapse of several weeks he had enough secured as he believed to justifiy a trip into the Southern lines. Meanwhile he had made the acquaintance of a tinsmith of un doubted Southern sympathy to whom he imparted his secret. One night this tinsmith and the young doctor col lected all the quinine he had purchased and sealed it up in long, hollow tubes of tin. which were toldered perfectly water-tight. These tubes, about four inches iu diameter and three or four feet long, were covered with the bark of cottonwood limbs, and the ends were concealed by short blocks of the proper size, which were also covered with bark, presenting the appearance of pieces of wood of the ordiuary size. So perfect was the work that a thou sand men might have glanced at them without the slightest suspicion of any irregularity in their make-up. When all was ready the young doctor bought an old wagon with a pair of broken down horses which the meanest-principled Union or Confederate force would never have dreamed of confis cating, and then after clothing himself in a suit of clothes bought at a second hand store started out of the city. Over one hundred miles was made, with several narrow escapes, before the doctor again neared the river with his old team. For the last day or two the scouts and videttes had seemed to be unusually suspicions, and the young doctor concluded to give away or sell his team after gcini&g the river. When he arrived upon the bank he followed the road still down the stream until he came to the house or dug-out of a small farmer. Here he unloaded his bark-covered tubes, and after tying them together and attacking a bunch of brush to them to make them look like an ordinary bunch of drift he put them in the river and let them float off in the current, which they did, look ing like a bunch of brnsh which had floated from the shore. The old wagon and horses were then driven to the home of the farmer, traded off for a beat nd pair of o.r, with thrc or D a xfc JgOs, y& yB ijSmSB . 'ji ? ' "lc - four days' provisions, and an old blan ket thrown in as good measure. The young smuggler floated and rowed away night after night, some times ahead and often behind the bunch of brush which hid away the all important tubes of quinine. In the daytime, whenever near the lines or outposts of the Union forces, ho would remain hidden in sonio creek or small Btream with his boat and bunch of driftwood in close proximity. After three nights' travel early one morning, as he was quietly floating and paddling along about one hundred yards from tho shore, he was halted "for the fifth or fcixth time and com manded to land. Of course he did so, expecting to find himself questioned by a Union vidette. Meantime tho quinine was calmly and smoothly float ing along just ahead of him. lSut this time the young doctor found himscli confronted with a sqnad of Co-.feder-ate cavalry, an outpost of General Jo seph Shelby's brigade. The Captain in charge closely questioned him as to his business and where he .was going, and not perfectly satisfied with hi.i answers, ordered him to mount a horse and ride to camp, about one mile be low. Young Guthrie knew that if he was taken into a Confederate camp, which was located below where he had been arrested, his quinine was safe and he quietly mounted, determined, how over, not to give a hint of his real busi ness until he was sure that he was with friends. The squad and their prisoner soon reached the headquarters of the colonel commanding, when the prison er was turned over to the commanding officer. When the young smuggler found that he was really with friends he produced his credentials and told the commander the secret of his busi ness. A boat, or rather two or three skiffs and small punts, were soon found, aud the young fellow, accompanied by several soldiers, paddled along shore up-stream until they met the little bunch of driftwood. They soon towed it ashore at the camp, where the long tiu tubes with their bark covering were taken out of tho water. Tho quinine was found in perfect condition, aud was immediately forwarded under a guard to the nearest large post. Young Guthrie was gived a letter vouching for the safe arrival of a large supply of the great drug. He was sent to General Smith's command, where, after a high compliment for his courage and ingenuity, he was well paid and recommended to undertake another trial of the same sort. Five times he succeeded in getting through the lines with large quantities of qui nine, but the sixth time he was cap tured and sent to prison at Fort Dela ware where he remained until the war was over. Dr. Guthrie is to-day one of tho most popular and eminent physicians in this country, with an immense prac tice, but seldom too busy to tell some interesting story or reminiscences of the times which tested the nerve and ingenuity of the bravest. Plucking and Shearing Geese. A curious case, camo before an En glish court for adjudication recently. A poulterer was charged with cruelty to forty-eight live geese by plucking them of their feathers, and the owner was charged with procuring the com mission of tho offense. Tho proceed ings were taken by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A witness swore that "after the geese were plucked their skins turned a pur ple color, and they seemed to be in pain. They walked alniut with their backs up. and shrank when touched." The practice was shown by defend ants to be very prevalent, aud the so ciety asked for a nominal tine to put a stop to it. The defendants said it was the custom of the district to pluck the feathers every six weeks, and if they were stopped from doing to many peo ple would discontinue keeping geese, as much more money was realized by the sale of feathers than by tlio geese. The court imposed a tine of eighteen shillings upon the defendants, and ex pressed the hope that it would bo a warning to other people. Plucking live geese and ducks prevails all over the United States. There is a species of large water fowl whose habitat in winter is the open lakes of the interior, and their feathers arc so firmly set that they can not be plucked. Shearing is resorted to. and many housewives have beds made of the feathers, which almost equal those of eider down, ns the stiff, troublesome quills are absent. Shear ing geese and ducks could be made to supersede plucking. Amer lean Agri culturist. How Base-Balls Are Made. Automatic machines for making base balls have been so successfully con trived that their introduction is likely to constitute a practical industry. Each machine winds two balls at one time, in the following way : "A little para-rubber ball, weighing three-quarters of an ounce, around which one turn has been made with the end of a skein of an old-fashioned gray stocking yarn, is slipped into the ma chine, then another, after which the boy in charge touches a lever, the machine starts and the winding begins. The rubber ball is thus hidden in a few seconds, and in its place appears a little gray yarn ball that rapidly grows larger and larger. When it appears to be about half the size of the regulation base-ball there is a click, the machine stops, the yarn is cut, the boy picks out the ball and tosses it into the basket. When this basket is full it is passed along to an other boy, who runs a similar machine, where ahalf-ounce layer of worsted yarn is put on. The next machine adds a strong white cotton thread; a coating of rub ber cement is next applied and a half ounce layer of the very best fine worsted completes the ball with the exception of the cover."

Evil is wrought by lack of thought As well as lack of heart," which is another way of saying that carelessness is selfishness, and may re sult in as dire a mishap as if premedi tated and prompted by malice. Some one uses, leaves on the spot and forgets where, the clothes-brush,shovel, tongs, hammer, rake, pitchfork, shears, and scores of other articles used in com mon by several persons. Who can meas ure the bother, waste of time, and per haps loss of temper this form of care lessness brings about? What caused that long, lacerated scratch on. that woman's hand? Some girl or woman left a pin in tho under clothing which she sent to the wash, and that ugly-looking scratch on the laundress's hand wa-j the result. To use a pin in clothing where a button or string should be indicates untidy habits, but to leave the pin where it may do other persons damage indicates some thing worse. To leave bottles of poison unlabelled, or within reach of a child, may lead to fatal consequences and a lifelong re morse. A mother was one day using carbolic acid, and left the bottle con taining it on a chair for a few minutes while attending to some other duty. Two-year-old Teddy seized upon it.and, .with the inquisitiveuess of childhood, put it to his lips, and swallowed enough to cost the little life. A tack, pointed end up, or a rusty nail protruding from a board, is left where some one steps on it. Lockjaw has resulted in such a case. In the house where a friend was stay ing, some one left a tin box of tacks on the stairs. In descending, she unwit tingly placed her foot on the treacher ous box, fell headlong, and broke her arm. "Oh, I'm sorry!" said the guilty one, penitently. "I meant to take those tacks away." An elderly woman in Boston caught her foot in a loose strip of carpeting at the head of a flight of stairs, and fell to the bottom. Fortunately no bones were broken, but she was sadly bruised and lamed. "Oh, I meant to re-tack that piece of carpet!" said the contrite housekeeper. Stepping on a lady's dress is an in frequent accident nowadays, but it does sometimes happen, and to be suddenly checked in that way puts a person at heavy and unexpected disadvantage. A teacher in a seminary near Boston, de pendent upon her own exertions for sup port, was stepping from the cars ut the railway station ; there was no crowd and no particular haste, but some blunderer put his foot on her dress skirt. She lost her balance, tried to recover her self, foil backward, and struck her back upon the car step3. Spinal concussion resulted, and the unfortunate teacher has been confined to her room for two years. A little thought, a little care, aud how much pain and trouble could bo averted ! Voutli's Vomjian ion. He IHdn't Hear Jenny l.ind. "Did j'ou ever hear Jenny Lind?" said J. C. Stewart, of the Fat Men's Club, the other day. "No, but I'll tell you how near I came to hearing her. You probably don't remember when the Swedish songstress came to America, under tho management of P. T. Bar niini, but I don't- think I'll ever forget it. It was a good many yearsago, and I was a boy, a pretty good-sized one knock ing around New York city. The night of Jenny Lind's concert came, and I was crazy to hear her; but T didn't have auy money, and thero I was. I hung around the door of the theater after the concert had begun. By-aud-by several gentle men came out bareheaded. 1 was will ing to adopt any means to get inside, so I went up to one of those who had just come out. and said : ' " 'Say, Mister, let me have your check sol can get in aud hear Jenny Lind sing.' " 'Why, they're not giving out checks, my boy,' he replied. 'When one gets inside lie checks his hat. and if he wants to go out between times he goes bare headed, and when ho goes back the ab sence of his hat indicates that he has been inside.' "Well, a bright idoa struck ine at least I thought it was a bright idea. So I quietly went up to the entrance and, unseen, took off my hat and pushed it up under my vest. Then, putting on a bold face, I walked into the theater without being molested. I sat down in a vacant chair and waited for Jenny Lind. Presently a big, heavj set fellow came and sat down bosidc me. He made some ordinary remark, and then said : " 'Saj! These people think they're pretty smooth here, and that no one can get iu without paying, but I fooled 'em. I just shoved niy hat up under my vest and walked in with the other bare headed feilows that had come out be fore.' " 'Is- that so?' 1 replied, thinking it was a great joke. "Why, that's just the way I got in.' "'You did, eh?' said the big man. with a grin. 'You , I just sized yon up lor getting in that way. Now you get out of here.' "1 didn't wait," concluded Mr. Stew ait, "for the man who laid the trap into which I fell so easily was a special po liceman. That's just how near I came t hearing Jenny Lind." Kmisas City Journal. Taught Everything hut Whal They Want. Hitherto our higher institutions of learning have neglected almost wholly to instruct the young men in the prin ciples of the government aud iu the duties which are to devolve upon them as citizens. They arc taught a great deal about the properties of matter, but very little about the passions of men; much about the perturbations of the planets, but very little about the interaction of parties; much about the constitution of the solar system, bnt very little about the constitution of the United States: much about the laws of the universe, but very little about the laws of the land: much about universal gravitation, but very little about uni versal suffrage: much about the Grecian democracies and the Koman lepublic, but next to nothing at all about the republic to which they themselves be long. Indeed, so far is the teaching of our colleges at present from beiiif; suited to prepare young men for thr proper discharge of what under out constitution is really the most important duty before them iu life, that it almost j-eenis to have been purposely planned to evade that object.

Why are you staying in Washington so long?" "I am here for my people," replied Bushyhead. "What aie vou doing for vour peo pie?" The old chief drew his frieud aside and, affecting secrecy, said: "I am lobbying for Senator Morgan's scheme to send the negroes back to Africa." "What have vour people to do with that?"

Wilkie Collins' Favorite otcHsI. It has several times been stated in the papers lately that Fenimoro Cooper was "Ihe favoiiti novelist" of Wilkie Collins.

GORMANDIZING, or overeating, or the partaking of too rich and indigestible food, is a common cause of discomfort and suffering. To relievo tho stomach and bowels from such overloading, a full dose of Dr. Pierce's Purgative Pellets is the best remedy. They operate gently, yet thoroughly and without griping, nausea, or other unpleasant effects. If the too free indulgence in such intemperate eating has deranged digestion, causing dyspepsia and biliousness, attended with a eense of fullness or bloating "after eating, coated tongue, bitter or bad taste in mouth in morning, on arising, drowsiness after meals, indescribable feel ing of dread, or" of impending calamity ami hypochondria then you need to follow up the use of the Pellets with T)r. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery, to tone up the stomach, invigorate the liver, and set all the processes "of digestion at work. "While curing indigestion, it purifies the blood, cleansing the system from all humors and blood-poisons no matter of what name or nature, or from what cause arising. Unlike other blood-purifiers, it operates equally well at any season of the year. It contains no alcohol to inebriate ; no syrup or sugar to ferment in the stomach and derange digestion. On the contrary, it retards fermenta tion and promotes all the digestive and assimilative processes. It is as wonderful and peculiar in curative results as in its chemical composition. There is nothing similar to it in composition or approaching it in results.
