Few of us are aware of the intimate
relations1 between the - United States
and the Island of Cuba, the charming
Queen of the - Antilles which spreads
its flo wdry! shoros almost within sight of
our coasts.' She sells nearly nine-tenths
of what she makes, to us. We are her
best customer; aa Weil as" her nearest
neighbor. '.-JV''.. ; ' ' I - ' ; f::i';:
Of the total exports of Cuba for 1878
amounting to $70,881,663,44, the amount
of JGS,52G,G7S,96 came to ! tbellnited
States'. 1 Tlie ampunt of sugar and .mo

There are on the Island about 350,
000 free negroes,; and 250,000 elaves.
The free negroes are thrifty and enter
prising and are rapidly accumulating
projcrty There is a law of Spain of
Hin h provisions that a slave who desires
to obtain his freedom can do so, in spitq
of Iih master, nor can the master pre
vern it, if the slave has the means to
pv for hiuiself. The. value at the re
quest .of the slave, 'when he is ready to
lay even a part of the money, is assessed
by. eommission, or syndicate, which
is alivtys in session, dud the proceed
ings! of which of which are conducted
with ni cost to the slave. These byu-die.!ti-H
lire composed of men who are
said to lean strongly to the side of abo-
ition, nod the estimated value of a
s'avp-who wishes to buy hU freedom is,
V - "v. '
therefore, generally very reasonable.
The payments can1 be made in install-
men'ts, the slave buying his liberty for
a time, and usinir that lime in which to
make the money to complete his pay
ments. They are always allowed to
raise poultry, and one pig, and to have
ground to cultivate, and thousands ac
quire, their freedom' by the money thus
gained. No slave child ha3 been born
in the island for 11 years, and all slaves
attaining the age of 60 are made free
by law. Previous to the adoption of
tin sc Yise measures for eradual emanci-
KXn by the mother country, the
a i v e
mother had, for many years; the
to buy her unborn babe for a

-small fixed price, and to raise it where
she gave service until the ag& of 18.
Now 'children born of slave parents are
ab-joUttely free by law."

Dear Post: The annual pic nic of
the colored people of Duplin county
came off on Thursday last,! July 31st.
It was a grand - affair the; crowd press
ent being estimated at - fifteen hundred
persons. According, to arrangements,.
and by invitation, Col. Geo. L. Mabson
delivered the address for the occasion,
0.,k;i tl n.
subject: The condition of the country,
rights and duties of the colored people.
Hespoke for an hour, aud it was truly
one of the abltst speeches ever deli v-
ered.in Duplin county. It was iustrnc-
tive and to the point. At its conclu-
sion three cheers were given for Colonel
Mabson. After Col. Mabson's address,
Hev. R. II, W. Leak was called on, and
responded ih his usual happy style; also
Messrs, Beam an. Stauftrfd and others.
The : committee of arrangements are
entitled to great credit for the efficient
manner ! in which' the ceremonies were
conducted. The Clinton brass band,
and the Marshals, with citizens in line,
presented a handsome appearance.
After the speaking a bountiful sup-
ply of refreshments were spread before
the assemblage, to which alt did equal
and exact justice. " Thus ended the an
nual day of recreation aud pleasure for
colored farmers of Duplin,, their fami
lies and friends.
Old Duplin is for Hon.? John her-.

being highly pleaded with the treatment
of their Charleston friends, especially
those of our German citizens, who were
participants ; they report that nothing
was left undone by their fellowGcr

a pleasant one. They were entertained
by the different German societies
especially by the German- Turnferie
of uharleston, and the Deutsclie Zeiiun
published a full list of the names of the
German portion of the excursionists,
