Mr. E. Burd Grubb, of N. J , bns been appointed Minister to Spain. Dick Grubb, of Darien, would make a better representative nbroad.—Tlioin nsville Timcs-Enterprise. Yes, Dick has been to Cuba, and one night while there in a large itorc just opposite the public park, ho prov ed himself quito n diplomat, although he couldn’t speak one word of Eng lisb. He made signs that counted for a good deal though. Ho had a strong way of showing what he wanted — News and Advertiser, Albany. Our recollection is that Dick called for it "straight,” but that the Cuban mixer, misled by hfe signs, insisted on “mixing’’ it.. Brother Turner’s re collection about the signs is correct. He made ’em and made ’em very vig orously, for the whole gang was mighty dry, and Piek was the only one in the party who could make signs in Spanish. This incident reminds us of the expe rience of a bridegroom, who, with bis charming young wjfe, was on the trip. The couple stepped into a place near the hotel Psaaje, and the groom made signs to the swarthy Cuban for a con pie of lemonades. It was pretty hot over there, and ice cool lemonade was luxury, after a tramp of several blocks through the narrow crowded Btreets of Havana The polite attend ant looked wise, while our bridegroom remarked to his wife: ‘ It is very easy to make these fol lows uuderetand you, if you know how to go about it- Now I saw Ed Bar rett down on Obispo street this morn ing, trying to buy one of those illus trated hooks descriptive of n bull fight. He actually went through the whole gamut of signs, without ever penetrating the clouded mind of the salesman. Stepping in, I made a lew signs in imitation of a mad bull en tering the areun, by pawing around and bcllowiug, and light at onco broke on tho puzzled salesman, and the highly colored and profusely illuslra ted book was forthcoming.” And tho trusting, loviug youDg bride looked on her husband with re newed admiration. In the meantime, two glasses filled with a seductive looking fluid, were placed betore tho couple, on a little marble table. “This tastes mighty queer,” said Mrs. , as eho daintily sipped the contents of her glass. “I’ll he blamed if it isn’t strong,” said the husband, ns the last drop in his glass disappeared. And thcrowas a sort of satisfied air about the gentle man, ns a tender expression gradually stole over his face, a kind of n dreamy look of contcntmeut; the features lighting up as if he had unexpectedly met with nn old and very dear friend. Ho slowly lowered his glass, looking down into its emptiness, and calmly wiped his lips. He had evidently met au old ac quaintance; and meeting in a foreign land did not seem to detract auything from the pleasure of the unexpected encounter, as was shown by the wist ful way iu which he had gazed through the inverted bottom of his gloss, os tho last drop trickled down his throat. The wifo grew suspicious of the al coholic odor, and said: “This isn’t lemonade, that’s certain,” as the fumes of the liquid were in haled. No, it’s a whisky cocktail,” said the gentleman, and “you had better let me drink yours; it is too strong for you.” “I thiuk wo had best go back to the hotel,” said tho bride. And they went. Mrs. believes, to this day, that her husband understood some occult signs, signs known to barkeepers the world over, by which he told that Cu ban to mix a whisky cocktail, though the gentleman protests, in the most solemn manner, that he tried to make the fellow understand he wanted two lemonades, A Tragedy in Mitchell Information has reached tho city of a tragedy which occurred near Camil la Saturday. Tho particulars ns near as can bo learned, are as follows : Buck and Bill Adams, brothers, and Bill 1’oc, and a man named McLeod, half brothers, have not been on good terms for some time. Saturday, Buck Adams slapped Poe’s face, iu Camilla, and the bitter feelings between the two factious became intense. Friends interposed, and prevented further trouble, but about four miles from Ca milla while en route to their homes, they inet again, Poc said he would soltic tho matter then and there. Bill Adnm3 caught his brother aud held him to prevent a light, hut after the other parly had filed, he released him and sougbt bis own safety by getting out of the way. Buck returned the fire, and when the general shooting bad ceased, it was found that McLeod had been killed, Buck Adams bad ly wounded, and Poe slightly hurt. The latter was arrested, but escaped from the officer. All the parties were young white fanners. Police Court. The attendance at the police court yesterday was not large, but the offen ders thought .lie fines were. The absence of the familiar face of Mayor Hopkins hclund the desk, was the first thing that they noticed, and Mayor-pro-tem fatten,} dispensed justice instead, Otis Crawford, who it seems never tires of working for the town, was up again. It seems lie did not like the appearance of a strange coon in town, and proceeded to make fun of him, and abuse Imu genet ally. He was fined $5 and costs. Aunc Levis, a damsel of color, plead nul.guilty to the charge of fighting, hut proudly told the Mayor in making her statement, how she had done up her rival.

We beg lo call special attention to tho advertisement of Burckhardt’s leaf Inrd, and the star ham.

Tho attention of the trade is culled to both these articles. This ollico was invaded and made bright by a bevy of ladies last evening. •Some little confusion ensued, on ac count ol all of them talking at the same time. Tho devil, himself, got confused, and, a-i for the. editor- well, he jus}, surrendered. It Touched fhoir Hearts. When Emma Abbott was in De troit she visited the newsboys’ room on Sunday evening before going to church and was asked by ono of the little fellows for a soug. “A song?” echoed the popular sing er, ns she looked on the bright, eager facc3, and wondered what she could sing that would enter into all those young hearts aud do a good work. They waited aud the hall was us silent as if void aud unrK. Then the sweet notes of the “soug” asked for, rang out iu melodious tones and the singer lookeil at the boys faces to see if auy disappointment were there, hut she saw only rapt attention, delight and appreciation, as the boys drauk in every word. This was the soug Emma Abbott had chosen from her repertoire: ‘ •Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land, I mu weak, but thou art mighty, Hold inc with Thy powerful hand. Blend ot (leaveu Teed iuc now and evermore.” Mias Abbott Bilug every line ui* the grand old liymu, and when she had finished a mighty chorus ol applause told her how well her soug Imd been appreciated. Miss Abbott said afterwards : “I eoidd have snug something that would have pleased the boys belter, perhaps, hut in whatever I do 1 nim to mnkc au impression for good that will be helpful and lasting.” Ho Changed his Mind. “Complications of rather a serious nature have resulted from nil elope meut iu ludimm.

Taking advantage of Miss Cary’s vis it to the state fair at ludiunnpolis, the couple ran away ami tolegraphed to the old folks that they would soon re turn.
