Gen. "Weyler's embargo against the
exportation of Cuban tobacco is
likely to put the finishing touches to
Trbat was once our flourishing trade
with Cuba, says the Salem Statesman.
Our exports fell from $23,604,000 in
1893 to $12,809,000 last year,
though at the same time the trade
totals for 1895 were being made the
devastation of the island had hardly
begun.
Cuba depends wholly on sugar and
tobacco. It is with these that it
pays for the flour, provisions and
articles of manufactured goods it
has bought in large quantities from
the United States. This season,
however, it will have neither sugar
nor tobacco. The sugar industry is
already ruined. The Associated
Press reports have shown that there
are now nothing but blackened ruins
to make the sites of the sugar mills
which once gave the island its largest
revenue. Add to this ihe suppres
sion of the tobacco trade under Gen.
"Weyler's order of embargo, and the
misery of Cuba is complete.
By what right docs Spain protract
a barbaric war to such extremity?
For how many yeara may a stronger
power inflict the direst calamities on
a weaker one which it is unable to
fiubjugate by force of arms? How
can. Spain expect that the people of
the United States will view with in
difference the misery thus wantonly
Tisited on Americans? A cuckoo
organ says the "news that an admin
istiation will make a vigorous protest
against this barbaric and unfriendly
act is very welcome."
But this proposed protest will give
no relief to the struggling patriots of
Cuba, and it will not affect the busi
ness' interests of this country at
nrhich the order of Butcher General
Weyler is aimed. Time was, though,
when the protests of the authorities
at Washington were listened to with
respect! ul attention by Spain, or any
other country against whose acts they
were directed. They were acted
upon with indications of profound
regard by this same Spain during
General Grant's administration in
the early seventies, while the Cuban
revolution was in progress.
The time is coming again, though
it drags all too slowly, when the pro
tests of this country will have weight
with . Spain. They, will be received
with respect after the 4th of March
next, or if they be not so received,
respect will be enforced with the
ministerial offices of our army and
navy. Then there will be an end to
these outrages.

A Philadelphia Tenement-House Fire De
velops a Young Heroine.
In January last a Philadelphia tene
ment house was'burned. Two men were
killed and several persons were badly
injured, while others escaped in an al
most miraculous manner. The fourth
floor was occupied by the family of
Joseph Zollers. The father and mother
seem to have been absent, but the five
children were at home. All were saved
through the bravery and coolness of
the oldest of them, a girl of 10, whoso
conduct is briefly described by the Rec
ord: '
Jenny Zellers was dressing- the chil
dren, the youngest a mere babe, when a
cloud of smoke came into the room and
at the same time the frantic cries of
those below reached her ears.
Hastily opening the door, she saw the
flames leaping up the stairway toward
her. Never hesitating, she closed the
door, and calling the children together
forced them up a ladder and through a
trap-door to the roof. They were ele
vated high above the surrounding build
ings, and below them the flames were
roaring with terrible fury.
Still retaining heT presence of mind.
1 he brave girl dropped her brother, a lad
of 14, to the roof of the house to the
south. It was a fall of ten feet, but the
boy landed safely, and then the gir!
braved the fire in her doomed home to
secure a quantity of bedding.
This she't.hrew to her brother, who
arranged iton the roof, and then, one by
one, she dropped the other children.
The infant she took in her arms and
leaped with it in safety to the bedding.
Next she broke a skylight in the roof to
which all had escaped, and lowering the
children through it, they all reached the
street. . "
AN HONORABLE VEGETABLE!
The Onion Has Its Admirers The Ana
conda (Alont.) Onion Society.
The nutritious and wholesome onion
occasionally finds its vindicators. At
the thriving Montana rity of Anaconda
there is a dining club culled the Ana
conda Onion society. Tts first feast was
recently given with distinguished suc
cess. Down the center of the hall, says the
Anaconda Standard, was set a long
table, with cover for all the guests. At
each plate was a large and juicy onion:
in the middle of the table was an array
of meats, bread, fruit-crackers, eheesri
and other things.
At one end of the hall floated the
standard of the club in proud eonspic
uousness. It consisted oi a pole sur
mounted by a string of the vegetables
from which the socsty taT-cs its name.
On the wall hung this motto, beautifully
wrought: ,
IN OXIOX TliETCK is strength.
Each member wore :i pretty bouton
nler of little onions. Thocccri'ion was
greatly enjoyed by all the participants
end the society hopes to do much to re
store the onion to the honor anil esteem
cf the world.
In Montana, as wey as on the whole
of the Pacific slope, the onion attains a
deliciousness of quality which is com
paratively unknown on the eastern side
of the continent. If the people of the
east could have onions as good as those
of Montana and California, it is possible
that the Anaconda Onion society might
find imitators in the east.
Their Impudence.
Certain young Indian gentlemen
who are pursuing the study of the law
in London were invited by the master
of the Temple to pass an evening at
his house. The time fixed for the as
sembling of the interesting party ar
rived, but nobody came. When near
ly an hour had passed ih fruitless wait
ing the master's lady rang for the maid
a new one, as it happened, not yet
quite accustomed to the ways 'of the
house. She entered in a state of consid
erable excitement. "Have none of the
gentlemen arrived?" asked her mis
tress. "No," answered the domestic,
"but a lot of impudent nigger minstrels
has been a-ringin at the bell, and I
have been a-drivin 'em away, mum!"
The Ohio's Bed.
A prominent geologist who has been
looking into the formation of the bed
of the Ohio river 43 miles below Pitts
burgh says the old river bed is 300 feet
above the present water level, and he
finds there stones of Canadian gmaite,
whose nearest home now is on the
Canadian side of Lake Ontario. In the
glacial gravel he came across a rough
arrowhead, which he attributes to the
glacial period, perhaps 300,000 years
ago.

POST' OFFICE SECRECY.
Ask a Letter Carrier tbo Address of Your
Friend, and He Will Uhy: "Excuse lie."
It is not generally known that Uncle
Sam looks upon the address or where
abouts of one of his citizens as an in
violable secret. Such, however, is the
case, says the New York World.
A New Yorker who had been out of
the city for some time found upon his
return, a few days ago, that one of his
intimate friends had changed his resi
dence without leaving his exact new
address. All he could gather was that
his friend now lived in a flat on the
north side of a certain street.
When he arrived at the block in ques
tion he found to his dismay that every
house in it was a flat house. He would
have to go from door to door until he
found his friend's name over one of the
bells.
He had not proceeded far when he
met a letter-carrier making his usual
delivery.' Here, he thought, was the
man who could save him a lot of time
and trouble.
"Yes, sir," replied the postman, in re
sponse to his inquiry, "I know the party
very well. But I am sorry to say I can
not give you his number. It is against
the rules." .
The same secrecy is observed at the
post office. The postal address of any
body will not be given by the federal
authorities even to a state officer.. This
rule is in accordance with the general
principle that a man's den 1 ings with the
government are of a confidential na
ture. JAVA'S NATURAL WONDER.
Home of the Hot Devils Possesses Great
Interest to Travelers.
The greatest natural wonder in Java,
if not in the entire world, is the justly
celebrated "Gheko Kamdka Gumko,"
or "Home of the Hot Devils," known to
the world as the "lsland.of Fire." This
geological singularity is really a lake
of boiling mud, situated at about the
center of the plains of Grobogana, and
it is called an island because the great
emerald sea of vegetation which sur
rounds it gives it that appearance. The
"island" is about two miles in circum
ference and is situated at a distance of
almost exactly 50 miles from Solo. Near
the center of this geological freak im
mense columns of soft, hot mud maybe
seen continually rising and falling like
great timbers thrust through the boil
ing substratum by giant hands, and
then again quickly withdrawn. Be
sides the phenomenon of the boiling
mud columns there are scores of gigan
tic bubbles of hot slime that fill up like
huge balloons and keep up a scries of
constant explosions varying with the
size of the bubble. . In times past, so
the Javanese authorities say, there was
a tall, spirelike column of baked mud
on the west edge of the lake, which con
stantly belched a pure stream of cold
water, but this has long been obliterat
ed and everything is now a seething
mass of bubbling mud and slime, a
marvel to the visitors, who come from
great distances to see it.
