her future movement*, dest-uatioo, etc. To
relieve t.i* rie-notony of th* Kusseil House
and its only recreation, the billiard rrsorn. I
volunteered to look up Johnny Bull's
steamer, and at the *ara* "tune enjoy a trip
to Cuba. A master'* mate of the United
States frigate San Jacinto as to be my
companion. He was a native of New
Jersey, and spoke Spanish with a Camden
accent, but as be was said to be thoroughly
reliable and fear is* was wl>--tei from the
many naval oflioers voiunteenug for the
trip.
For two days we took peculiar baths in
lukewarm water, deeply ctflored with the
juice of c*hfs>ts.ut burs, and at the end of
that time were skin-deep sons of Castilian
anee-stry. The dye did not greatly enhan-e
our beauty, but nevertheless was quite
necessary for the success of our undertak
ing. The first visit I paid to the old navy
commodore, dressesl in the garb of a Cuban,
brought forth such a -t re of boned naval
academy Spanish that I fairly drove the old
gentleman into a furious rage by laughing
outright. He had mistaken me for a t üba..,
ami the disguise was pronounced excellent
The following midnight a naval gig landed
us on the shires'' the Queen of toe Antilles
a few miles below Cuinberiar*! Harbor,
when the fun commenced. W ben the sun
arose we were within two miles of a small
hamlet adjacent to the fort which guards
the entrance bo Cumberland Harbor, where
my companion persi-ted m expiring the
nearest house for breakfast, embellished as
it afterwards pro veil with "aqua diente."
TOO MUCH CUBAJf PRINK.

and the inevitable cia-h of author.ty took
place with the looked for result—that he
went. The minority member of the expedi
tion gracefully succumbed and sought shel
ter iu the bushes by a bill, where a spy
giast enabled him to vour the country
around. Within ten minutes after the
New Jersey Spaniard hail entered the
hamlet a native with rapid strides
was wending his way to tiie fort. It
looked very suspicious, and when he re
turned accompanied by five Spanish soldiers
of the garrison I feft that the blockade
runner would not be troubled by our excur
sion. At the back of the biil I was occupy
ing a large oga which reared its magnificent
branches on nigh, ami being angry enough
to wish mv >1! out of the world I climbed
the tree and at almost the same moment my
companion cam* forth surrounded by five
warrior* of the Cuban army, and every
man, woman aud child of the hamlet. H.s
unsteady gait when at a distance and beau
tiful flow of unadulterated American pro
fanity when in bearing convinced me that
he at least was not a Prohibitionist, and I
fervently prayed for his conversion.
The procession stopped within fifty yards
of my tree, and the soidierv keeping watch
oyer the blue jacket- ordered the natives to
search the vicinity. An unkempt, dirty
little brut of bris time five summers, dress'll
in an abbreviated shirt of very common
material pointed his niff te-colored finger to
the sky parlor of the writer and yelled
“Americano.” In the shortest moment the
tree was surrounded by a gesticulating mob
of villagers anxious to catch a glimpse of
the noii-leatbered denizen. The loud
voiced command “Descendo,” enforced by
the lineal direction of five gun barrels, was
obeyed with [lerhaps undignified but cer
tainly necessary haste, and when the narra
tor reached the ground he was subjected to
an overhauling which proved a Spanish
soldier to lie tit for a custom house official.
They found and kept every article in my
possession bnt a pair of trousers and a blue
woolen shirt, giving me au old straw hat,
apparently in use for u decade, in lieu of the
new slouch I had worn.
\Ve were driven to the fort, and as the
firick of the baronet will make a person
ively in his forward movement we arrived
quickly at our destination. The capitano
in charge of tlie guard r .i- lib-ssed with the
physiognomy of a brute und tin* rapacity of
a bandit. ’He stole rny underclothing, and
bundled both of u> into a cell of the fort de
void of furniture, but full of jied.s too vile
for description. Ail hour afterward the
cell door wa* ojiened and w- were conducted
to the commanding officei’.- quarters, where
a so-called investigation place. After
being asked our {lames, i> rtholaoe, resi
dence. etc., the officer informed us that we
were American filibusters cat-gbt in the at
tempt to join Cuban insurg- rits, who wefe
in the vicinity, and that we
would lie seat to Cumberland Hariior,
tried by the military court, and no
doubt sentenced to lie hanged. It was of no
earthly ue to talk again-T tt:is decision of
the fort commander, out my rummy com
panion jiersisted In tolling tlie Caballero in
rather strung language what his unbiased
opinion of such treatment was, and they
gagged the Jerseyite in consequence. A
conveyance was made ready to transport
us to the city, and as it was not often they
captured anybody they did it in style. A
very common looking Cuba : donkey, with
u large Ilasket swung on bo: a sides, made
Ids apnearance. We were tied hands and
feet, or rather “bucked," and deposited in
the ba-ket, my naval chum on "the star
board and myself on tbe other side of the
quadruped, when the procession moved,
surrounded by eight soldier- aud a lieuten
ant, and all the ragamuffins iu the village.
CONDKMNEJ) TO DEATH.
It was high noon lielore the procession
halted in front of the common jail of Cum
berland Harbor, and tiie contents of the
baskets wo,-e lifted out and deposited in a
room IU feet square and about 12 feet high.
A window strongly barred, :i feet in diame
ter aud over 5 feet from tin* ground, was the
only aperture giving light and air to the
apartiiien. after tbe door was closed. At 4
p. m., we were brought Is-loro a military
court consisting of a Colonel and lour officers
anil were not allowed to s|ieak except to tell
our nann-s, etc., and within fifteen minutes
after the court commenced w* had been
tried arfd senteuced to lx* banged. The
charge, of which we were not allowed a copy,
but which wa- rend to us, *vas tha' of
“eutcriiig the island for the [iruven purpose
of liringiiig aid and comfort to tin- insur
gents against the government of the com
try.’ - Having hal no opoortunity to defend
ourselves, and knowing the cowardly char
acter of tiie Spanish soldiery, the pr<>K|tecta
did not look very ch*rfii!, f*ut we received
a ray of hope wood informed that the Cap
tam-General at Havana would have to sign
the verdict of the court before the sentence
could lx- carried into effect.
The jailer considered us too px)r to inter
e*t himself as to our welfare, aud an old
female negro slave brought us morning and
evening u oaf of block brnaii and a pitcher
of water; at noon we riss-iveil a bowl of
ou|i and a small piece of moot. The rell
was too dark to write ill, mid even if Hint,

Tlie next morning, when the old lady
made her ap!*'*r*"r vith our meagre r*>-
part, he commenced his blandishments. and
I su pfxjn*- it was the peculiar Jersey accent
witu which he spoke Spanish that at first
induced her to listen. For four days, three
times a day. I was the silent listener to the
most scientific love-making that can be con
ceived. and the eloquent man-of-wars man
with his honeyed tongue had the venerai >
daughter of Ham in the tod*. She. old
enough to be his mother, 'relieved every
word he spoke, and brought him a pencil
and a sheet of pager to write a note to-the
Consul. I wrote C ncle Sam s repnantthw
a letter asking him to call, and. with f.-ar
and trembling, we eatmuei it to oar saiue
agent An hour after the drtyr of th- ceil
ojened and in it wa> thrust a young mike
somewhat under the influence of liquor and

a brawl. He stoke English and told us that

cell-mate. In a very Little while we had
pumped him dry of all the ml- -rmation be
could give as to his ship, her cargo, destina
tion, etc.. and gave him our story, etc., in
return that is. he believed we did- The
jolly tar gave us all the news we wished,
and which could not have been obtained
from a better source.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S ORDER.
The following day tbe American Consul
came, and at ht request we were allowed to
see him in tb-- guardroom of the jaiL At
first the gentleman doubted our statement,
but as I tarried m a button of my blue shirt,
a photograph copy of an • -rder s.gald by the
Secretaries of \Y ar and Navy, and counter
signed by Pisaiihiil Lincoln instructing ail
government official* to assist me whenever
<alled upon, he changed his conversation
and promised that he would s>-e that our
lives were saved. We never saw that gen
tleman again, but bis promise given to men
under sentence of dea.'i was nobly kept.
The ninth day of ou* incao-rat.oc the Pres
ident of the courtmartial paid our cell a
visit. accompanied by a .Spanish priest He
read a paper purporting Jo beau order for
our e torn Don on the second day following
at a. m., signed by tbe Governor General.
We did not 1> any the following night.
At 3 o’clock p. ni. or. the day before the
final perforata: <-e of the prisoners upon the
last stage of life was to tak - pla-c, we heard
the salute guns of a man-of-war resounding
through the jail and the sable sweetheart of
my companion informed me that a friga
tee AmericaDo" hail anchored off the city.
An hour afterward the cell door was thrown
open and the brans buttoned uniform of an
American officer looked to us like the garb
of an archangel. Our deliverer had come:
we were placed in the centre of a squad of
United s tates marines and marched to the
sea landing During our walk the populace
surge-1 and yelled around us, and angry at
our escape from the gallows, assailed us with
the .* west abuse toe Spanish language is
capable of supplying. An armed boat of
the frigate received us. and I will never for
ge: the deep satisfaction felt in standing
again safe and sound upon the deck of a
vessel flying the American flag. The com
manding officer informed me that he had
given the author! Cumberland Harbor
one hour to deliver us up. with the decla
ration that he would open his battery upon
the city at the expiration of that time if his
wish was not complied with I believe the
jail authorities were disappointed at our re
lease, as the gallows had been built, and
their labor was this time, at least, in vain.
Thanks to the information given us when
in prison by the engineer of the blockade
runner, this steamer was raptured when at
temping to run into M .bile, Ala. The worst
deceived person was the old colored servant
girl of the Cumberland Harbor jail, as the
naval master's mate failed to keep his
promise, solemnly given, that he would
marry her if she would aid him in securing
his re ease. But he had a good excuse: he
was already married to a New Jersey lady.

A SNAKE BAKE.
Cheerful Little Boast of a Few Thous
and Rattlers Near Oregon City.
From the Fru&ts Examiner.
Said J. D. Andrews, an Oregon pioneer,
yesterday: "This is wbat I know about
snakes. I have a farm on the Mollalla, a
few miles from Oregon City, near an ob
long, rock covered hill, called Rattlesnake
Hi'l, whir.. for years lias just been swarm
ing with them. In the spring, when the
weather gets warm, the rattlesnakes come
out of the ledges and drift down on the
creek bottoms, becoming very troublesome.
My farm being only three miles away, these
reptiles became each year more ami more
troublesome, endangering especially the
lives of my children, who despite all I could
do, would persist in going about barefooted.
“Well, a year ago last spring they
swarmed into ray wheat field so thickly
that I couldn’t cut it when it was ripe. This
may sound odd to you hut it is a fact. So
I got my neighbors to help me.and I plowed
several furrows around the field, and then
laid hair ropes around it, and set fire to the
wheat. Well, of all the sizihng. and frying,
and strange squawks and noises you ever
heard, we had them there. Buch a lot of
rattling and leaning up, and displaying
forked tongues, 1 don't think anybody ever
before saw. Of course, they ran from the
fire, but the hair rope on the further side
turned them, until we had a complete circle
of fire around them.
“Well, when the wheat was burned off,
there were thousands of dead rattlesnakes.
They were thicker in tbe middle of the field
than anywhere else, and were twisted and
tied together in knots and hunches almost
as big as a barrel. I guess we must have
made a clean sweep of them that time,
for they have never put in an appearance
there since.”
A New Process in Cotton Manufac
turing.
Ectaw, Ala., Hept. 15.—The Allen
New Process is a recent invention of H. M.
Allen, of this place, formerly of the State
of Vermont. The process, consisting of
practically a single machine, takes cotton
in its natural state in the seed and separates
the lint from tbe seed and forms it into first
a sliver and then a roll, ready for the usual
attenuating processes now in use in cot
ton mills, which prepare such a roll for
the spindle. It is to be ured in cotton
spinning mills, and is adapted to the cotton
growing sections alone. It takes tbe place,
you will observe, first, of ginning and
baling on tbe p'antation, dispensing with
bagging and ties; second of coapressing for
shipment: third,of all machinery at present
u4sl in spuming mills, up to and including
the railway head, and. excepting one or two
hands, dispenses with the labor necessary to
attend to the machinery so displaced; and,
fourth, it requires a large tier cent, less of
power to drive tbe displaced machinery.
Again, the new process avoids the great
injury which is done to the fibre by com
pressing and the torturing processes to
which the lint is subjected in the present
mill, and preserves tiie full length of the
staple, thereby making the yarns of greater
strength and the goods eon.-equently more
durable. There is practically no waste of
cotton bv the new process. Mr. Allen thinks
he will 1> able to dispense with drawing
frames though he does not yet claim this
lor his invention. The patent covers a
specification of a device for malting the line
numbers, but. the inventor does not yet
claim Mils as perfected.
The foregoing are principally the merits
claimed for the new process. Mr. Allen has
built and o|ierate 1 experimentally an im
perfect wording model of the machine, and
it produce* the roll beautifully and with
rapidity. Those who have seen it in opera
tion regard the practical hikvw of the m
inventiou os demnnrtnftad.and it baa created
much interest in th.s State and in other sec
tions. The light belongs to the Allen New
Prixswi Company, a lady corporate organ
ized here, and tins coin| any has donahsl to
a cotton mill now leiiig organised hi tins
•sanity i which is one of tlte finest ootton
gmwiug counties m the Ktatei the right Pi
use tbe new process perpetually without
royalty, and the stock of this mill, which is
styhsi 'Alien IVoissw Unttou Mill No I,” Is
now Mug taken at the bank of ICutaw at
this pla<.
