Sin Samuel Barkr lately delivered a

large nnd brilliant London audience.
The Brooklyn Argus says the dissolving
view he presented of tho imfiiortnlTiiv-
ingslone, with scarcely enough clothes on
him, as lias been happily remarked, to
wad a alugle-bnrrcl shot-gun, flying in
dismay before the imaginary apparition
of Scipio Africanus Stanley, brought tear*

Grtino Out or Dkrt.—Tho first
step towards getting out of debt is to
mako a beginning. That beginning con'
lists in creating no neir debt*, l’ay up
hereafter and sink incumbrnnees by In
stallment*. But you must, have this,
that and the other? No, you must not,if
you have not got tho money to pay for it.
Fight the good fight of self-denial and
lay hold of simple corn bread for radons,
rather than incroaso the amount of your
indebtedness. Sot before your soul the
blossodnos* of tho man whom nobody
owns by being his creditor and whom no
body can dun.
Tub best "patrons of husbandry" w<
know of aro the women. Don't wo rood
"the world was sad—the garden was !T
cold, otc., etc., till woman chopped down
tho weeds and nudortrash with her littl
grubbing hoo—cleared out all tlio fcuce-
cornera and made everything ready for
crapping ? Therefore when theso boasted
patrons of husbandry in broodies pntc<V
the woman with Cores. Pomona, and ruch
like inanities, they don’t comprehend tho
situation at all. There's no husbandry
of any kind worth a cent till woman takes
a hand at the business and then it begins.
Woman is worsliipful mistress of that
lodge. .
Kit Karson.—One of the most read
able books, especially for boys, that we
hitto looked oyer lately, is a narrative of
tho life and adventures of this famous
frontiersman, a copy of which Minors.
Brown & Co. send us. Carson is perhaps
tho best known man of his class that has
ever lived in this country, and tho story
of his career and wonderful adventures
is of intense interest. It is told by J. S. C.
Abbott, who, we have reason to believe,
' has not, according to his usual custom,
overdrawn tho picture. For a Christmas
present to a boy fond of wild adventures
and hair-breadth escapes, this book would
bo just the thing.

Key West Clffar Factories.
A Key West correspondent of the Tri

making from Havana tobacco, at that
place, is almost entirely in tbe bands of
Cuban refugees. There are about 15 fac
tories. largo and small (mostly small,)
and they employ about 1/100 hands. The
wages vary from 918 to $45 a week, and
as not only men bat women and children
are employed, many families have a re
spectable income. .The cigar, made may
well bo mistaken for a genuine Havana,
and is intended to compete with it. No
pains are spared to make it first-class and
Havana-like. The Havana tobacco
uklhT7 Havana hands manipulate it, and
in some cases even tho water used in tho
manufacture of the cigar is imported from
Havana. The result is an article which
proves a most acceptable substitute, and
would deceive 99 smokers out of n 100.
It is sold at 33 per cent, less than the
bast Havana brands, and then proves re
munerative. The average monthly pro-

I write this' letter simply to acknowl

the Legislature should call a Convention
in,which the j-enf prpple o^Gsorg'mfdiouVl
have the opportunity to declare thereat'
organic laws for the State, anil to return,
as far as may l>o practicable, to the old
landmark* in tho f»rcat put. 33very poo-
pie should make tlicir own constitution,
and under it on a t their own lnwr. Oars
was mado principally by aliens, strangers
and fools. Therefore, just so soon as our
impoverished people can stand the bur
den of a convention, it should bo called,
that tbe wickedness and folly unjustly
fastened upon us may bo changed into
wise nnd judicious Laws, and our people
indulge themselves in the freedom and
luxury of a government of their own.

The World on Mr. Stephens’ Late
Speech.—The World says of this speech:
jA. H. Stephens, of Georgia, defended
tlie'back-pay grab yesterday in tho House
of' Bepresentetives. Few things could
add depth to the conviction of the Dem
ocratic masses thdt they aro entirely
right in denouncing the back-pay grab
and deMABfiing its repeal. But Mr.
Stephens’ speech does it. His opinions
may bo safely “ coppered” by tiny Demo
crat who has not time to weigh his own
conclusions. The back-pay grabbers nro
not a stench less odious ip the public nos
trils for that Mr. Stephens finds their'ac
tion to smell sweet.
General Burriel.—A Havana corrcs-
pondcnt*5frfiif?Tribune writes as follows
concerning the- personal appcaranco of
tho man who had Captain Fry and oth
ers of the cr6w and passengers of tho
;Virginias, shot:
At my hotel I have had tho honor of
several interviews w ith General Burriel
—interviews, tliat is, at one remove, hav
ing dined and breakfasted at a table
quite near to him. Ho is a man of mo-
diutn size, and not apparently over 35
years old. Hi* face is rather that usu-
aUy met- in oj staff officer than that of a
great warrior. Ho is not a homely man,
and in no way a striking one to look nt.
Opo might attribute firmness to him, and
perhaps promptness of action; but I
really cannot see any marked indication
of, cruelty’in his face. Neither does it
express anything cheerful or companion
able. -I havfc not yet seen him laugh.
Ho tdlks.reiK little. Yesterday morning
ho had hb'-brderlies and certain colonels
with him to breakfast, and General Bur-
riel; I noticed; was not the only ono of
them, who atojwitli a knife.

oer of Total Paralysis.—A dispatch
from Boston to tlie New York Tribune
says:
"Prof. Agassiz’s illness has become
much more serious, and his friends now
entei-Laiii-tlio gravest fear as to the result.
Df. Brown-Sequard, of New York, and
Dr. Wyman, of Cambridge, are in attend
ance. When asked if tho case was alarm
ing, ono of tlie physicians replied that ho
feared something worse than death. Tho
base- of the brain is seriously weakened,
and paralysis of tho whole muscular sys
tern is feared Tho professor is still con
scious, nnd his intellectual faculties re
tain their clearness. This evening his
condition remain; about the samo as last
evening, affording little hope for a favora
ble termination. What his most inti
mate frieruls foar is that if death doesnot
speedily take place ho may be doomed to
a prolonged and wretched existence ns a
hopeless paralytic. Ono of his immedi
ate scientific associates expressed this
fear to-day, nnd said that lie could far
easier see Agassiz die than sco him drag
ont . such a miserable existence. Prof.
Agassiz was at bis museum, about
quarter of a mile from his house, on Sat
urday morning, anil went to work in a
room so .warm as to create a profuse per
spiration. j He was booh after.taken ill,
and had to he taken home by one of Ids'
assistants. From tliat time he grew rap
idly worse. Dr. Brown-Scquard remains
constantly at tho professor’s house, in

medical skill can do will bo done. Prof.
