Early in January of - this year we

Mexican doubloons, together with
some light 'woolen clothing. are
among the essentials for the voyage.

On the thilififay a delight flit change
in the temperature brought out our
summer. snits, and at night the soft
light of the moon charmed away the
memory of Hatteras.: The next day
we ranalong the low barren shores
of . Florida, of which the eye soon
wearied: then during 'the night
crossed. the - dark 'blue of the Gulf
Stream:, and in the mornin: , the *-Pan
of •Alatimos '' in phrple outlined the
first sight of Cuba. The ‘rater here
was alive with flying fish and the
nantihis.: By nine o'clock we were
abrease of Morro Castle, and soon
droppctil anchor near a Spanish fri
!rate. from whose decks flOated dream
ily rivet; the bay the . airsof Beetho

with intense bri!) - htness, and we' wore,
everpvlicre told that the winter was
an unusually warm one. On our left
stood Morro Castle. while across the
narrow l entranee and along the
. 14ky
lay the city with La Punta in the
distane. innumerable small boats
swanned about the steamer ready to
' take off the willing passenger, but the
eustonr officers were - at breakfast,
- and nn 11, they' had finished their
jelly and chess," no one could land.
At length permission was given,'
and. ashore, we hailed a cab
and were driven to the lintel In,da

flat lionses, painted yellow, white and
blue, it's ,tiled roofs and narrow
streets. ..:Many of the stores have
variegatiqtawnings stretching nearly
across the streets. which give a wel
come simile from the sun.. The solidly
built honseS. with their iron-barred
windows and Inure doors, are strong
enough to stand a siege. During the
middle of the day, in consequence of
the heat,little life is seen. At sunset
and in the evening, however, the air
comes fresh and cool from the sea.

bewildering. There also are some
•ivonderfnl French machines into
which are placed some tobacco and a
piece of paper, and in a few seconds
a perfect cigarette is turned out.
This factory manufactures daily two
million fire hundred thousand Oirra
rettes, which are chiefly exported
South America.
At La Houdradez's factory, alter
the inspection of the establishment,
a package of cigarettes is given ici;the
visitor,,nith his, or her name prig ii
on-their, _and a request is made that
he enter his impressions in a lkok
which is published yearly. .I)o 'not
be enticed into buying very manyei
,
gars, as you cannot export the'de
lightful aroma which the island Only
can give.
The . fruit _market of lbvat*
abotmds with oranges, mangoS, pine-
apples, bananas, sapotes and other
fruits whose names Were unknown; to
us. To see color in its brightne'ss
and variety beyond the painter's art,
a short time should be spent in the
fish market. Columbus haviUg dis
covered Cobs,. if . not America,, we
spent. a .rneello fieso to s see where his
ashes repose in - the Cathedral Walk.
A great pest here was the lottery
s'ender, who - solicited us at every
corner with the enticing assurance
that we would certainly huh• the
iicky u►uuber.
We took a train which left 'at six
o'clock in . thu morning for MatauzUs,
about sixty miles distant. The road
runs through a pretty country dottO
with sugar plantations, and the palm
in its- numerous _Varieties is seen iy
verywhere. Mantnnzas is Charmingly
situated on a beautiftil bay. An elci
eellent breakfast at the Leon ile Oro, -
and a survey of ;the quiet. ; quaint
streets made its wish for , a longer
star in this ehar i 'acteristie Cuban
town. A volante drawn by two mules
took us along a'road by the.: water,
where are many summer villas Of the
Havanese,. to the famons Caves of the,
BeHamar. These are five miles from
the town, and though not large 'are
very beautiful, with their 'Gothic
temples. The heat is the only Ace,
tion to - them ; they would be perfect
above the ground. A drive 1,1) over
the bills back of the town gave us a
view of the lovely tropical valley of
the Yumurri.
Our steamer sailed from. lllivanniy
at five o'clock in the afternoon, giv
ino• us a fine view of the, city at sun-.
We had on board some members
of an operi troupe, and every night
we were favbredwith '

11 the close of the last likson,, we saw
the Philistines routed, andilsrael freed
and started on thO path of prosperity and
honor:: Samuel count - wed to be the chief
udicial officer of the Illation all the days
of his life. Jekorah was the supreme
Ruler, and hence the t,' , overnneent 'was
called a "theocracy;" i. C. y ;t government
of which God is . ,The immediate and acl-
knowledgcd head. Satnuel's residence
was in Ramat'. This, town" ;was situated
in Mt. kpbraim, jwithiu the borders of
Ilenjamin, about six mites north of Jeru
salem. It was built upon a double height,
which ]std been used for beacons and oh-
servatories in warltimes; hence the name
found in i:1, "Rainathaim 7 Zophim";
the double 'eminence of the *etchers.
From this point once a year Samuel Went
in circuit to Bethel (a few nines north of
atamnh) to Gilgal (in the Jortlan valley),
and to Mizpeh (tl►e general 'rendezvous
and sanctuary of tlie tribes in Benjamin),
and judged. all Israel. (Compare Exod.
xviii: 15, 16). As be, grew old, this duty
became a severe burden. So Ire appoint
ed his two sons (Joel and /Walt) as his
deputies. • As the judgeship was not an
hereditary office, this did not mean that
they were to be his successors, althoUgh
the people seemed M jump to this conetu

to Samuel's disintereStedness and iutegri,

NEWSPAPERS.
Holland says in Ser'ilmer's Monthly
for April: .
As newspapers, simply, those of
America are the best. in the world.
The entire globe is 'raked, and raked
clean, every day, of incident, move
ment and event, to be blazoned upon
their teeming pages. Science, re-
ligion, politics, society, commerce,
agriculture, mechanics, all things of
human concern 110 place for every
fact and phasein their columns. The
lightnings are their Messengers, win
nowing , the midnight world with
their wings, and bearing in their
beaks from the harvestlields of
thought and action every precious
seed that has ripened and - dropped
during the day. No cost of toil or
gold dismays them. Their servants
are on every battle-field, in the thick
of every mob, in the forests and the
deserts, on the mountains and onthe
seas, watching kings, watching imr
liaments, sitting by the side of the
astronomer in his vigils, recording
the Message of the preacher, count
ing the Steps of scientific progress,
and bearing the product of all this
enormous enterprise and industry,
morning by morning,., to the homes
of the nation. The out_-come of this
world-wide iwittisition . and ex.posi
tion rises almost into the realm Of
miracles. We have no wordS to ex=
press our admiration of it-2—no phra
ses by which we, can measure the
height and depth and length and
depth and breadth of to largess it
contains and the influences it exerts.
This much we can •say with entire
truthfulness; this much we can
say with a thorough heartiness. To
preside - over a great American news
paper is,,to hold and exOcise one of
the most dignified offices of the
world. Now - let us open the neWs
paper and see how it looks. Freight
ed with the world's_ great affairs,
loaded down with 'the hopes, strug
gles, misfortunes, crimes, triumphs
and achievements of humanity, we
expect to find it earnest, dignified
and Catholic. The first thing we see
is a half a column of sensational
headings, addressed, perhaPs., to the
prurient curiosity of the basest men.
IVe. open a Western paper, and find
over an item of intelligence, or false
hood, concerning a grievious scandal
the word HEI \ L "in as large let;
ters us can be squeezed_into 'a column.
This .is followed by minor heads,
every one of which is intended to crew=
ate a sensation. We go on through the
paper, and it is all sensation. Often
times the headings mislead as to the
real character of the intelligence to
which they arc the preface. All the
news ehroileled is wrought up into
its most startling forms. To pique
curiosity=, tojaise
, feeling, to attract
attention, to appeaLto the sense of
the marvelons, to be stunning rather
than simple and true, are the appar
ent motives of .the conductor.
Is this : - 01 extreme ease ? We can
furnish papers by the hundred that
steadily pursue this course as a mat
ter of policy. It is not enough that
we have party presses in religion and
politics that give a party shape to
everything that: vomes,tO them. It
is not enough that we 'have presses
that rejoice in scandal and crime and
take greater delight in them, and take
greater pains with their details than
are excited by those allairs which
mark the advance of the world in
goodness and wisdom. f It' is not
I enough that there are papers which
mould all things that they touch to
the personal purposes and prejuidic es
of their conductors. If a thing is
tame it mast be whipped into a start
ling appearance. If it is sad—inex
pressibly sad' from its badness—its
badness must yield the requisite sen
sation. Great, and and good names
are jested With.
_Topics which in
volve the - DMA precious interests of
the human race arc tossed flippantly
abiant, like the balls of h juggler, to
attract the eyes of the gapeing mul
titude: Subjects -of which children
can never know to little, are laid be
fore the family J! . yr as familiarly as
if they were not steeped in shame.
To receive the world's news in the
Spirit and shape in which it is pre
sented to millidns ot readers ever•
day,is to suppose that all th 6 world's
momentous events.are conceived' in
fever and brought forth in hysterics.
If :Anything were really gained by
this course there might be a poor
apology for it, but nothing ever was
gained by it. The papers which in
dulge in it most are least trusted.
The moment an editor becomes thor
mighly conscientious and recognizes
the importance and , dignity of his
position he drops his sensational
headings with diSgust. . If he has
news from Zanzibar, the• heading of
his item states that fact; and if the,
reader is interested in Zanzibar he
reads the item. If he has important
news from Zanzibar his heading states
that fact, and if verYimportant news
from Zanzibar, that fact ; and the
reader finds the fact, as represented,
and judges of the facts 'and -their
relations. without having been misled
by 'sensational headings., It is ii good
novspaper rule to hit every snborcli
nate.,,SenSational head wherever the
'ed{tor sees it. All news more
