The area of the island is only 3,070 Square miles, but it has been able to pay an annual tax of $3 000,000 to Spain. Almost every commod ity the soil can produce is raised iu the island.

Joseph E, Stephens, a wealthy connoisseur of paintings, stepped into a pawn broker's shop in New York’ and was attracted by two pictures which he bought for sl6. Taking them to his office he called in some of his artist friends who at once decided that the larger, which ie presents Lot and his daughters, is undoubtedly the worn of Rubens, and that the smaller is one of the best examples of Sydney Cooper's cattle pieces. They thought the former should be worth $15,000 and the latter about |2.500 . 000 Some very remarkable claims are being made for the Mauser bul let.

Joseph Wheeler had the pleasure of capturing the < fficer he is now serving under in Cuba. In March, 1862, William R. S latter was a major in the Nine teenth Michigan. He was with a foraging expedition one day when a body of Wheeler’s cavalry sur rounded and captured the whole outfit. Shafter was sent to Rich mond, aud spent six weeks in Lib by prison.
