A YANKEE ROASTING!

A New England Humorist Scores Cubans and Spaniards. Mark Twain, the humorist, who has studied the Cubans and Spaniards in the native heath, say 6: In hi* struggles for his country’s freedom the Cuban patriot makes valorous use ot every method that can aid the cause. Murder, theft, burglary, arson, assassination, rape, poison, treachery, mendacity, fratricide, matricide, homicide, parricide and all cides but suicide are Instruments in his hands for the salvation of his native land; and the same are In the hands of the “oppressor” for the damnation of the same. Both parties, patriots and government servants alike, stand ready at any moment to sell out body, soul and boots, politics, religion and principles, to anybody who will buy, and they seem equally ready to give the same away for nothing when over their lives stand in pert!. Both sides massacre prisoners, both sides are as proud of burning a deserted plantation, or conquering, capturing, scalping and skinning a crippled, Mind idiot as any civilized army would be of taking a fortified city; both sides make a grand schoolboy powwow over it every time they fight all day long and kill a couple of sick women and disable a jackass; both sides lie and brag and betray and rob and destroy; a happy majority of both sides are fantastic in costumes, grotesque in manner, half civilized, unwashed, ignorant, bigoted, selfish, base, cruel, brutal, swaggering, plantation burning semi-devils, and it Is devotedly to be hoped that an all-wise Providence will permit them to go on eating each other Up until there isn’t enough left of the last ragamuffin of the lot to hold an inquest on.

Distinction with a Difference.

“It’s rather disappointing,” said the Cuban insurgent, “that we can’t be recognized as belligerents.” “Never mind,” was the reply. “We are all right. You’ve noticed that when a young man gets through a medical college he puts out an elegant gilt sign, and is known as a ‘physician.’ But whenever anybody in the neighborhood gets sick they send for the old-fash-ioned fellow that everybody’s besn calling plain ‘doctor’ for years.” “That’s true.” “And some of these people who sit In the office and write pieces about us are Journalists. But the one who gets the real facts is simply known as a ‘newspaper man.’ ” “Yes.” “Well, we aren't any 'belligerents.' We’re fighters.”

Florida’s White Slaves.

There are a few Minorcans left in Florida. These Minorcans are whites and came originally from the Island erf Minorca. They were taken to Florida by Dr. Turnbull, who had a great scheme to reclaim the everglades. They were practically In slavery, and rains of the stone walls and roads they built remain yet A few of them survived after the failure of the land reclamation scheme, and these have descendants who still live in Florida. A singular fact is that they have never outlived the stigma that slavery put upon them, and to call a man a Minorcan in Florida is regarded as an insult

Fifteen million comic valentines are printed annually by a firm in Brooklyn, who virtually monopolize this peculiar business and give employment to 400 men and women the year round. Most of the caricatures turned out at this plant are drawn by a well-known magazine artist who says that he designs them only when he is out of humor. Instead of venting his anger In words he draws diabolical pictures of the person with whom he Is angry, and the more horrible the picture the more fiendishly happy he Is.

A Russian Crown Jewel’s History of Murder and Bobbery. There is a famous diamond now in the crown regalia of Russia which has a most extraordinary history of murder and blood. How many murders were done for its sake before it came into the possession of the great Nadir, Shah of Persia, will never be known, but from that time until it was purchased for the Russian Empress, Catharine the Great, its story was one of crime. Nadir Shah was assassinated in 1747 by four of his officers whom he intended to put to death, and after they had done their work they hastily appropriated such of his jewels as they could easily conceal and decamp. One of the stolen gems was the Shah, which Nadir wore In his turban. The nobleman to whose portion fell the Shah fled into Afghanistan and was never heard of aguin. Four or five years later a jeweler in Bassora was visited by an Afghan, who offered the Shah, together with an emerald, a ruby and a sapphire, all ts great size, for sale at a very modest figure. The jeweler did not have the money at the moment, and made an appointment to meet the Afghan the next day, but the latter did not return. Four years later the jeweler, an Armenian, was in Bagdad, where he again mot the Afghan, and learned from him that the gems had been sold to a Jewish merchant for 65,000 francs. Shafras, the Armenian, enlisted the services of his two brothers, the three murdered the Afghan and the Jew, threw their bodies into the river, took the gems and made off. Somewhere in the desert between the Euphrates and Armenia, the oldest of the brothers murdered the other two, possessed himself of all the gems and went on to Constantinople. Fearful of attempting to sell the jewels there, he went by sea to prance, and, failing to find a buyer, visited most of the capitals of Europe, finally offering the diamond to Catherine the Great. She refused to buy at the figure he demanded, andi he at once disappeared, being heard from ten years later in Astrakhan, where he was seen by some of the Russian courtiers. He refused to negotiate save at Smyrna, and started thither, but was murdered on the way by the Russians, the gem secured and Bold to Catherine for $650,000.
