BOLD BANDITTI.
The Desperadoes Who Terrorize
the Island of Cuba.
Citizens Plundered And Kid
napped in Havana.
' It is an cvery-day scene in Ilavnna to
sec a man stopped oa the streets by des
peradoes and, after relieving him of all
he carries, he is brutally murdered in
cold blood. If an honest citizen should
sec the crime perpetrated and attempt
to make knowa th9 facts to the authori
ties, he is either exposed to bo mur
dered by some of the murderers' chums,
or ha is arrested and kept ia jail for
six or eight months so that ho "will be
on hand when required to testify
against the criminals; consequently if
on honest citizen should see any crime
committed he dare not say a word about
it.
Thus crimes are boldly committed iu
broad daylight and oa the most crowd
ed streets, such as El Parque, Central
Calin, De Obhpo, Cilzada, Da La Reina,
El Louvre, and the most remarkable
feature concerned in these outrages, and
that reflects very little credit on the
Spanish tyrants that now occupy the
island, is that the entire city of Havana
is patrolled by no less than 6, 000 police
soldiers, who aro paid about $15 per
month, and get paul two months in the
year. Consequently, they rob and plun
der, and even murder a man for 23 cents
in Spanish paper money, which is about
10 cents ia our currency. Matanzas has
always been the residence of rich sugar
planters that own large plantations, and
during the dull soa?oa they generally
come to the city, as a change. Kid
nappers, formed in bodies of from fifteen
to twenty men, como boldly into the
city and watch ono of theso planters as
he goes out to take a ride or some place
of amusement, and when he least ex
pects any trouble he is pounced upon
suddenly by two or three of these mur
derers, who immediately put him into a
carriage and ho is driven he does not
know where, as he is blind-folded, and
is kept in the den until a ransom is paid
for his release. The sanvj thing hap
pened to Senor Forres, a rich planter,
in Matanzas, Ho was "sccuestrado"
(kidnapped) and held a prisoner fifteen
days, and was released after his check
for 30,000 ia Spanish pcco3 was paid
by the "Banco Espanol do Matanzas''
(Spanish Bank of Matanzas).
Tho pirates havo another way of kid
napping. They will watch a planter's
maid go out with his children for a
walk, when they deliberately come up,
seize a child and away they go. Two
or three days after the occurrence the
parents receive a letter by mail, bearing
the city stamp, saying: "If you don't
deposit such and such an amount in such
and such a place, we will ia teu days
send yoi the child's head by a peon."
No one in Havana or in any other city
of Cuba is allowed to carry arms under
a heavy penalty, yet all criminals in
Cuba aro always armed to the teeth, and
ready at any moment to kill. About a
month ago thieves broke into the captain-general's
garden, "Quinta do Los
Molinos," occupied by a whole regiment
of guards, and not only stole all the fur
niture, but went so far u to every away
over one hundred gas fixtures belonging
to the premises. The Spanish authori
ties claim they cannot stop tho brigaud
age in Cub.i, yet it is hardly expected
of them to do so, when they require all
the time they can get to prosccuto the
editors of the Cuban press. Pittsburg

Au Awful Position.
Peter Lundquest, a San Francisco,
dockmau assisting ia the loading of a
slip, was subjected recently by an acci
dent to an ordeal that was as painful as
tho penalties of the ancient prisons.
The vess:l was taking oa cement ia
barrels, which was being lifted aboard
in a sling by means of a crane. The
tackle ran through a scries of blocks
along a spar, and power was furnished
by a donkey engine on board. Lund
quest was slinging a pyramid of three
barrels when the word to start was pre
maturely given. He threw the hook
over the sling just as tho ropes drew
taut, and started to leap back from the
rising weight. By some mischance the
forefinger of his right hand caught in
the bite formed by the hook and rope.
He involuntarily cried out with pain and
endeavored to jerk his hand free. The
engine caught full headway and
tho straining Hnc3 ran rapidly
through the pulleys lifting the heavy
freight. A half dozen bystanders
ran forward to liberate the man, but
without avail. Swiftly the barrels rose,
the rope drawn by more than 1,000
pounds tightening oa the finger till tho
blood burst through its pores. Upward
the load went until the unfortunate man,
crying in agony, was lifted clear off the
ground. Still, upward the merciless
engine drew its burden until, suspended
by his finger alone, the dockman, livid
with agony, swung ten feet above the
wharf. The horrified onlookers lifted
loud cries to stop the engine, but were
unheeded. The crushed bone and torn
flesh of the imprisoned member at last
gave way under tho terrific strain and
the hook tore out. Fainting and
splashed with blood Lundquest fell
back into the arms that were raised to
receive him. Ho was taken to tho re
ceiving hospital, where the finger wa3
amputated at a lower joint.

Birds Killed by Unkind Words.
Tho Boston Journal says it is well
known that birds are very sensitive to
tones of the voice, and aro terrified at
any loud, angry words. A lady who
wished to make a bobolink stop sing
ing, at last scolded it in a loud voice,
and then took up a scarf and shook it
in rebuke at tho caged bird. In a mo
ment the bird was still, but a short
time after made a fluttering about the
cage. Its owner turned to the bird, and
was shocked to sec it fall dead. Un
kind words had killed it. We know of
two cases similar to this. Ia one case a
canary bird, and the other a mocking
biid, died within five minutes after
having been spoken to in a violent,
angry tone.
The Monkeys Broke Ranks.
Though not a believer in evolution, it
is said the Rev. Robert Collyer telh an
amusing story of u trained troupe of
monkeys he once saw in London on a
stage. They had been drilled carefully
to go through a series of military exer
cises in uniform, and were making a
fine display of their attainments, when
a man in the gallery threw a handful of
nuts oa tho stage, and the simian sol
diery at once broke ranks, threw down
their guns, and scrambled for the hard
shelled dainties. "That moment," says
Dr. Collyer, "the hand on the dial of
time was turned back a thousand
years l' New York Sun.

CHARITABLE RICH MEN.

Qneer Charities or Editor Childs
Bequests to Churches, Etc;
No nation of the Avorld has sd many
Charitable rich men as the United States.
George Fcabody died worth $4,000,000.
He gave away while living $8,500,000
to educational and charitable institu
tions, to say nothing of the hundreds of
thousands that he dispensed in other
ways. W. W. Corcoran is still the
richest man in Washington, but he has
given away between $,000,000 and 4,
000,000, and his purse is always open.
Abram Hewitt says that Peter Cooper's
charities were twice as large as the estate
he left, and during the panic of 1873-'74
his library table avus piled high With
money, and from 3 o'clock in the after
noon till half past six he distributed half
dollars and dollar bills to all the poor
who came to him for it. Durins this
same panic James Gordon Bennetj Jr.
donated $30,000 to establish soup
kitchens for the poor. Paul Tulane,
a millionaire, who died in Kcw
Jersey a year or " so ago, gave
$2,000,000 to the University at JN'ew
Orleans before his death. Tulane began
life as a farmer's boy and was born near
Princeton, N. J. He made his money at
the start as a merchant tailor in New
Orleans, and he spent his last days in his
native State. He often gave away hun
dreds of turkeys upon a single Christ
mas, and many a poor family relied upon
him for its winter clothing. P. T. Bar
niini gave a few years ago winter house
plants to more than COO working people
of Bridgeport, Conn. Armour is a man
who is very charitable to his employes,
and delights in helping them. If he sees
a man trying to get along he promotes
him, 'and he induces his men wherever
possible to buy homes and to strike for
as high a mark in life as possible.
George W. Childs, of Philadelphia,
insures the life of every editor, reporter,
clerk, and head of department in his
employ. He provides them with doctors
when they are sick, and when dead they
are given a burial plot in Woodlawn
Cemetery, which is now known as the
Printers' Cemetery. He and his friend
Drexel lalchjgave $20,000 to the Interna
tional Typographical Union.
Every Christmas he gives every in
dividual member of the Ledger stall a
present in money ranging from $10 to
$500, and he tries to make money for his
men. When they become oid and broken
down he retires them on full pay, and a
number of his employes have grown rich
in his service. Like most rich men noted
for benevolence he is overrun with beg
gars, and he generally gives even to the
tramps. Mr. Childs gets about 200 beg
ging letters every day.
Senator Stanford's gift of $20,000,000
to establish the University in California
is one of the largest of the kind known to
history, and this gift is three times the
size of the foitune which Stephen Girard
left. Girard's foi tune amounted to about
seven millions and a half, and of this he
left six millions to his university. He
gave nearly all his property to the public,
and out of his whole fortune his relatives
received only $140,000. George I. Seney
gave $."500, 000 t-jth'w Wesley an University
of Middletown, Conn., and his charities
which have been chiefly educational
have amounted to over $i,.)00,00, Asa
Packer gave about $;5,O3O,O00 to the Le
high University, and theie is a college at
Cleveland which received $?i00,000 from
the estate of Amasa Stone. This college
is called Adelbert College, aad it com
memorates Mr. Stone's sou. Adelbert. who
was at Vale College at the time of his
death and who was drowned while on a
botanical excursion in Connecticut. Vas
ear College was founded by Matthew
Vassar, who gave 400,000 toward it,
and Wsar's son added to this amount.
Peabody's charity extended to Yale and
Harvard, each of which got $150, 000
from him. He gave $:J. 000,000 to the
Southern Educational fund, $1,000,000
to the Peabody Institute at Baltimore,
and $140,000 to the Peabody Academy in
3Iassachusetts. Senator Joe Brown, of I
Georgia, has given $.10,000 to a university !
there. Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, !
gave $10,000 to the Bethany Sunday-
school of that city, and Hobert" L.Stuart, i
the millionaire sugar refiner who died '
about five years a'40, had given before i
his death $ '00,000 to Princeton College,
and he left it $150,000 more. ,
One of the curious charities of the j
United States is the Louise Home at !
Washington. This is a home for re
duced gentlewomen. It is supported by
W. W. Corcoran, and is named after
Corcoran's deceased daughter Louise.
The ground upon which" it stands is
worth a fortune, and the beautiful build
ing erected upon it must have cost several
hundred thousand dollars. The laflies ad
mitted to this home live there ns though
at a hotel. They have their rooms to
themselves, they are treated as though
they were the owners of the house, and
they entertain their friends. Mr. Cor
coran always visits them New Year's,
and he pays all the expenses of the insti
tution. Another of Corcoran' 1 charities
is the Art Gallery, which has already cost
a fortune and to which he will leave
another at his death. He gave the money
which brought John Howard Payne to
this country, and in respect to this kind
of giving George W. Childs, of Phila
delphia, is like unto him. C hilds was a
large subscriber to the Edgar A. Poo
monument in Baltimore. He put a me
morial window in an English church to
the memory of the poet Tom Moore.
He subscribed largely to the monument
to Alexander II. Stephens, and he gave,
a year or so ago, $100 to erect monu
ments to the t wo Southern poets, Haine
and Richard Henry Wilde.

A New Varlctf of Sea-food.
Anew edible delicacy of marine ori
gin, and surpassing, in the opinion of
many Southern gourmands, the finest
oystersj is about to be introduced into
this country. A supply of the true Med
iterranean sea-urchins, in good condi
tion, is to be consigned to our market,
and English epicures Will be askdd to
try the eggs of the echiiiideari after the
fashion of Marseilles that is, by eating
them off the Shells, raw and uncooked.
The sea-urchin, which scientific men,
with the playful simplicity characteristic
of the kind, have agreed to designate
the "strongylocentrotus" is an article of
food in many parts of the world, as most
people are probably aAvare. Hence one
of the common names it bears among
fisherfolk who have no reputation foi
learning to keep up, and who call it tht
"sea eirir." But all along the shores of
the Mediterranean the live celled rosette
forming the inside of the prickly crea
ture is csteeemed one of the tastiest mor
sels yielded by the sea. Strangers visit
ing the Marseilles fish market will see
basket after basket there filled with
these browny-grcen and violet colored
"hedgehogs ot the deep." They are
deftly opened by the fishwives, the leff
hand being protected against the sharp
prickles bv a stout cloth wrapped around
it, the stomach-sack is cut out, and the
fine orange colored eggs in the centre
exposed and handed upon the shell to
the customers ever ready for the dainty.
These eggs arc only to be found in the
"urchin" between the months of October
and May, that is, about the same time as
the oyster is in season. At other times the
eggs are missing, and many worthy people
have pronounced the creature good for
nothing because they happened to cap
ture and open it at the wrong season of
the year. The urchin fishery, owing to
the great demand for the crustacean in
Southern Europe, is one of the most im
portant in th'cMcditcrranean. The creat
ures frequent rocky ground, and in the
form of round, prickly balls, they are
found, hundreds together, a few feet
below high-water mark in the shoals of
the Spanish, Fiench and Italian coast.
They are captured by means of a cleft
stick, with which the fisher pokes about
in their haunts, and often, too, by divers.
In the Bay of Naples nothing is more
amusing than to watch the urchin-fishers
at work in search of their prey. Rowing
to the spot where they are carrying on
operations, one may see some scores of
heads bobbing about in the water, and
probably an equal number of pairs of
legs, all belonging to bodies that are
invisible. Suddenly a head will go
down nnd a pair of legs come up; then,
as unexpectedly, one of the pairs of legs
will go down and a head bob up. "A
puzzling spectacle,'' says Mr. R. Jones,
whe has well described the fishery, "and
a constant vicissitude from he.ls to head
and from head to heels. L mdo.i Post.
Remarkable Ignorance.
Speaking of the Italian colony in New
York, Viola Roseboro says in the Cos
modifan: The remarkable ignorance
of America that they are enabled to main
tain under such circumstances is illus
trated by a fact that I have from Mr.
Arrighi. " lie says that the indifference
of his countrymen to the privileges of
naturalization arises chiefly from an idea
they have that if they become citizens
they are liable to be drafted into the
army, that prospect being the bete noir
of the peasantry throughout Europe.
Here is one of the methods (of which he
has a knowledge all too wide) by which
the wilier and more experienced Italians
impose on their countrymen. They elect
to act as middle-men between the chari
table institutions, particularly those that
care for children, and the'r beneficiaries.
For instance, a woman having several
children, more than she can care for
while earning their living, will be told
by some man of her acquaintance that for
a certain sum, say a dollar and a half a
a week, she can place one of the children
in an institution wheie it will be well
provided for. She grasps eagerly at the
prospect, lie then goes to the establish
ment, say the Five Points House of In
dustry, or the New York Juvenile Asy
lum, represents the woman as helplessly
poor and himself as acting in her behalf,
and gets the child received free; there
after he, of course, goes on pocketing his
dollar and a half a week indefinitely.
So much of this ha3 been done that most
of the institutions now refer all Italian
applicants to Mr. Arrighi, who person
ally investigates the cases.
A Japanese Curiosity.
A literary event ef national importance
has taken place in Japan. One of the
Legations ollicers, now with the new
Minister to Germany, recently discovered
in the Ashikaga College (Tsuh-li Ilioh)
a copy of Hwang K'au's Confucian Anal
ects over twelve hundred years old, with
all the ancient commentator's notes.
This work has disappeared in China ever
since the Southern Sung dynasty i. e,
for some seven hundred or eight hundred
years; and as the whole history of the
present copy is known, the Chinese Gov
ernment has directed the Minister in
Japan to borrow it, in order that a care
fully corrected copy may be taken.

The religious se.mtfcm in Kentucky

the Rev. Pascal Porter, of Madisctaj Ind.,
who is only eleven years old. The youth
ful evangelist has been drawing immense
crowds at Williamston, Ky. As described
he is a handsome boy, with bright brown
eyes and well-shaped head. Out of the
pulpit there is nothing in his manner or
speech to indicate his wonderful gift, but
in the pulpit, says an account, he is a ver
itable giant. He possesses a most won
derful memory and great gift of language,
and his sermons are logical, doctrinal and
deep. One account says of him : While
all proclaim that his preaching is won
derful and interesting,the community are
about equally divided as to whether his
sermons are original or whether he has
committed to memory the sermons of
another; but all admit, whether they are
original or not, that the boy preacher is a
wonder and a prodigy.

to all parts of the system, and the symptoms
above referred to are merely evidences of the
struggle of Nature to throw olf the poisonous

TESTIMONIAL OF HON. THOMAS
PAUIK, OF BERlEK COUNTY.
Would not Take 81.000 for it-Ue!!c di
13 YenM' Suffering front Dyspepsia.
AlapahA, Ga.Jttne 22.1887.-B. B. Company,
Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen i I had suffered
from that terrible disease, dyspeiwia. for over
flftesn years and during that time tried every
thing I Ccnlld hear at, and spent over llir;c
hundred dollars in doctors' bills, without re
ceiving the slightest benefit. Indeed, I con
tinned to grow worse. Finallyi after I de
spaired of obtaining relief, a friend mom
mended ft D. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), and I
began using it ; not, however, expecting to !
benefited. After usioi? half a bottle I va
satisfied that I was being benefited, and when
the sixth bottle was taken I felt like a new
man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done me ; in fact, the relief I derived f rom
it ia priceless, I firmly believe that I would
have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, etc., THOMAS PA ILK.
"I Gave Up to Die."
Kxoxviijj, Tens., July lr.
I have had catarrh of the head for six year-.
I went to a noted doctor and lie treated iu l .r
it but could not cure me, lie said. I was over
fifty yeara old and I gave up to die. I luul n
distressing cough ; my eyes were swo'len uu
I am confident I could not have lived without
a change. I sent and got one bottle fit" your
medicine, used it, and felt better. Then I K..r
four more, and thank God ! it cured me. I -e
this any way you may wish for the good of
sufferers. Mrs. Matilda Nichols,
