Many of tiie cocoannta we nse in Kew-York corns from these islands; ao do largo quaatitlea of oar early vegeta-tlea. for some wbola Inlands are big market gardens, with a hot bummer snn in tbe snidst of Winter.

Tb dwellers on them carry tbeir eocoaauta and other prod acts to Key West in sailboats, and there bay their 'stores and get their letters. Tbey are shut off from everything and everybody, and green and warm and quiet as tbeir islands are. no cUobt the inhabitant earn all tbey get. Vast some of the smaller Wands, but not in eight of any I hav named, the steamer from Tampa to Key West goes near enough to somo to soo tbeir house, so far from others that only the feathery too of the calm trees are visi ble. Key Went is surrounded, like most of the Florida Keys, with shoals and reefs, and tha channel for approaching it from tb north is a winding one.

This was exactly on schedule time, and so far tbe trip from Mew-York bad been ioe throughout on time, ns it always is, from Mew-York to Key West in sixty-six and cme-halt houra 1 uat is a thing made IMMsibla only by tbe fast mall train and uch a fast steamer as the Olivette. Ten years ago or thereabout I went down to lavana in the City ef Merida, and the wonder of sailors in those waters was the then new steamship City of Washington, which had made tbe ran from Havana to' New-York in the unprecedented time of three days and eighteen hours I The usual time for tbe trip was four days, and the average tim is not much faster than that now. although sometimes a steamer, if hard Sushea. does it in three days and some ours.

Hut here is the Olivette, witb tbe assistance of a foxt train, making the trip regularly from New-York to 1 lav an a in three days nine and a half hours. It is worth seeian bow this is done.

We had plenty of time for a look at Key West, from 4 in the afternoon till 10 in the rveniug, and Key West is one of the towns that cab bo very amply and abundantly seen in nsu mat time, i nad some curiosity to look at it again, hoping for some im provement in the old place since tbe tire that destroyed a great many of its wooden buildings, several years ago. The gangplank was soon pat out, and we wont ashore at once, to do our sightseeing before dark.

All tbe broken-dowa carriages of the ftonth. era Confederacy, I think, were gathered together on the wharf, and to tbem were harnessed, often with ropos, the most bnnirry and dejected-looking horses In the worio. mere js no need whatever for taking a carriage, even a good one, in Key Went, for a street ear line runs all over tbe town but there are always some strangers who in passing through want to see the cariosities, and tbey readily find drivers who are only too willing to show them, each as tbey are. For a town situated as Key West ut the Bights are remarkably few. The vegetation is tropical and it is to all intent a tropical climate, the weather being hot throughout tbe year; but it it were not for the coooanut trees, which are seen In various parts of the island.

Key West might pass for a neglected Northern vil- lage. We were still making our way cautiously among tbe carriages on the wharf when a gigaatio darkey came np and seized tny hand with: How do you do, Mr. Irysdale It was the distinguished 8ampson Mr. Sampson Stamp, tbe Nassau boatman, who nsed to carry parties of visitors oat to tbe Hea Gardens, He bad drifted over to Key West, as a great many other Nassau natives do: and was willing to drift further, for be at once wanted mo to bring him on to New-Yrk. I tried to picture myself arriving in New-York with Sampson for a valet, and began to wonder whether I should have go through the old Nassau ordeal of Itosa.

don't you want a boy to take to New-York We were aot off the wharf yet when 1 was bailed by name by another Nassau boy, who mad inquiries about some of his companions who had gone to New-York, bat unfortunately 1 had not met any of them. The car that we found outside drawn by a mule took as shortly past the new Bussell House, the principal hotel of tbe town. The KuRsell House was burned in the late fire, and this new one, which stands in tbe same place, is a little larger than the old one. but otherwise looks much the same, Tbe cigar business is, of course, the chief Industry, and nearly all the cigarmakers are Cubans, and tbeir wives and tbeir innumerable children ornament the front yards and piazzas all-over the place. Tbe plan of bringing Cuban tobacco into the United States (principally to Key Weet) and making it into cigars hero to avoid ths heavy doty on tb manufactured article is too well understood to need any comment, and it is this industry that has made Key Wast a much of a town as it is.

Befoh the wan" it was only a miserable little village, whose inhabitant lived on what fish tbey conld catch and what salvage they could get out of "wracks." There is nothing now to keen it from relapsing into it former condition bat tb cigar business: and a change in the duties on tobaoco would hav a disastrous etl'ect. Some of this tobacco business it is losing, for Tampa has been found by several large manufact- nrers to be a bettor point for making cigars for several reasons, in Key est, they say, largo Quantities of tobacco are often rained bv sum peculiar state of the atmosphercand this trouble is not experienced In Tampa. It is so near Havana, too. that the operatives spend half thmir time, and more than half their money, running over" to Caba to see tbeir in onus; bat laaipa is so mnch further away, there is not the same temptation. I hav bought as good cigars both in Tampa and in Key West as any 1 have had in Havana, and cither plao cau mak as good a cigar as can be made in the It is only a question of profit.

On naturally expects verv cigar be bars in thee place to be good but tha lamentable troth is, that tbe Chinaman with atanda in the Bowery cannot sell a worse cigar than soma that are made in Havana or in Tampa or Key West either. The ran across the channel from Key West to Havana Is nothing. It is 1 1 o'clock atniabt before tbe Key Wast lights fad away, and at th earliest glimpse of dawn. tb mountains of Cuba are in sight. And a rare and beautiful sight they are, str'teh rug along to th eastward till they are lost.

Hera, at sun rise, was ths harbor of Havana before us, that wonderful pic tar of bounty, that to seen at its beat should aeen just at sunrise, as we saw it: with the old Niono Cmstio on th left, and beyond tbat the moaataina rising, tbeir rents now silvered by th rising sun. and tha fort on th tight, and in front of as the harbor, full of ships all natioas: a wkys-wmW rock, and then th city. spreading oat It mile of pink and white and yellow houses in all direction, a sight not soon to bo forgotten, My companion iuul oea most place la tha est Indies, wltbont being aroased to any great en tons', asm; but Havana aha had not aeen, and her at last was com polled tha admission that there is at least on great and beaoti- lal place sooth of th tropical line. On tbe reeky terrace of tb Mono troop wore znarebinsr: in tate fort a sea was fired, in' honor either of oar arrival or ef the rising sun. On onr right as ws entered tb Harbor men were riding noadred of Horses oat late tbe sorf lor tbeir morning bath.

In tb city eore of bell were ringing for the early Catholic services, for it was Holy Week, and every church was busy. Those bells of Havana have a different sound from any other be 11a, either on account of their shape or the material they are mad of. lint that is nothing strange, for th bell of every city hav a sound of their own. And not only the bells, bat everything that makes a sound. The street noises when yon wake in Philadelphia are different from th street noises in New-York.

The street-ear bolls have a different tinkle. I could tell almost any city I hav ever been in. by it peculiar noises. Bo Havana is not remarkable in this respect, only its singularity of noises is a little more pronounced. Ho is it plurality of smells.

had on board the Olivette a party of personally-conducted tourists, under charge ef Mr. W. E. Arnold, bound for Havana and Matancas, and a trim little steam launch came out to meet them, her polished brasswork shining like gold in the morning an. Mr.

Arnold kindly invited ns to go ashore in this with bis party, so we escaped tbe infliction of dealing with tbe Havana bumboat men. who in their mild way are great rascals, and talk yoa to death in (Spanish with tbeir hands, feet, shoulders, and eyebrows. The Havana agent of tbe lino came aboard, and from him and the parser 1 got some valuable information. It was then 6 o'clock in tbe morning. Dy the time we were set on shore it would be 7.

The ship would sail at 1 prompt. So we would have six hours to spend on the Ever-faithful Isle, for we were to return in tbe same ship. 1 never could discover just what tbe isle is ever faithful to, but that is a name the Cubans are tond of. Here came tbe tint difficulty. lie careful about the time, for we go as promptly as a railroad, train.

There are throe kinds ef time to look oat for local time, standard time, and ship's time. There is nearly an hour's difference between them. We sail by local time." i That made a hazy outlook at th start. having three times and two languages to struggle with. But there came a worse difficulty than that.

You will have to do some lively work to gee back in tnis snip," the obliging agent aid. Your passport has to be countersigned at tbe Qobierno Civil Office before you can leave the island. After it is countersigned you take it to the steamship of fice and get your return tickets. Tbe Go-bierno Civil Office does not open till 1 1 o'clock and the steamship office closes at 12. bo all your business about tickets most be done in an hoar, and the offices are sonie distance apart." The steamer lay opposite a huge con trivance called "La Machina." which is so nearly English for The Machine tbat it needs no translating.

The machine is an immense iron pole, like a magnified telegraph pole, with the big end stack in the ground and the other end high in air leaning over the water, presumably for unloading heavy freight. It stands on a stone wharf, which is inclosed with a high stone wall, leaving a yard behind the wharf about as big as a building lot. A dozen soldiers in gaudy uniforms, with muskets nearly as large as Oatling guaa. stood about in various parts of this yard. Iwo other soldiers stood on guard at the big green gate of exit with their muskets crossed.

Perhaps the sanguin ary appearance of the party overawed the troops, for tbey made no opposition to oar landing, and from the deck of the launch we stepped into Havana. They even opened tne Dig gate and let ns go through without paying a cent, but this must have been an oversight on tbeir part. How they let us land at any place but the Custom House 1 do not understand, and I conld not make inquiries at the time, for I was no sooner in Cuba than I discovered that I had left all my Spanish behind. I nsed to get along very well with that wonderful language some years ago in Cuba and in Mexico, and could carry on a limited but intelligible conversation with tbe natives. Even tbe pet phrases I knew best had slipped away.

The only one I could remember was "Aqul no permit i remembered mat, because it was a notice that hang in th saloon of a Spanish steamer. Hut I coo Id not put it to any prac tical use. for it only means smoking is not permitted here." Going through the gate we were in a small open square, paved with coDDiestones. wo or three carriages happened along, and the personally-conducted party cum bed in and drove on. and we were leit to straggle alone with tbe three times.

the two languages, and the labyrinth oi narrow streets mat lay Del ore us. At mis solemn moment we were ap- proacnea oy nail a dozen hotel run ners. tbe same whom we had successfully avoided on the deck of the steamer. Instantly ear hands were hlled with the cards of all the hotels in Havana, and if we had been smaller and lighter we must have been carried oli bodily. They were all there tbe Pasajo, tbe Inglaterra, the ielegrafo, and the Grand Hotel ascot te.

No, there was one missing the San Carlos. Their man most have been sick. When I looked over the cards and saw the ad vertisement of the Telegrafo. and the smiling gentleman in black who presented it, i recognized an old acquaintance. 1 he Telegrafo always was my favorite stopping place in Havana, and Mr.

Smirk is the gentlemanly interpreter who dispenses (with) the English language there. loa are Mr. bmirk. 1 suppose I said to nun. He smilingly admitted that he was.

"Ah!" I told him. "I am glad to meet yon. 1 hear of ya everywhere I go in Europe. Asia. Africa, and America and now Here am really shaking you by the band.

But uniortanately 1 am going away again this morning, ao I can be of no use to the elegrafo." Mr. fcmtrfc was tbe proudest man in the Indies. His companions were duly ham bled. ana snewea mat iney leit their own Insist niheauoe. But La Grande Mascotte would not let me escape so easily.

It was the rro prietor himself the proprietor of the hotel where, according to the card, "Travelers will consequently understand that all rooms are front rooms, affording also the advantage of seeing the arrival of steamers. It is the only hotel In Havana which, by reason or its situation on the bay. with its cooling strangers against all inconveniences resulting from a change of climate. Barber's shop, baths, and interpre ters, in seven ainerent languages, are attached to the hotel, which affords every comfort to make agreeable sojourn with us." mis gentleman was ao importunate tbat I felt sure ray ntfnul tA ffii rlt.h him waiiiiI paat a as it were, over nis entire family, and I tgbt have cone iust to avert such a catas trophe if it had not been for tbat barber's shop "in seven languages. llavincat this hour plenty of time, for it was on i a uttie alter: 7 o'clock, we strolled through street after street, in a vain expectation of eventually: reaching that part of the cltv in which are the nnneinal hotels, the Isabel Park, and tbe Tacon The atre, limy tailed appear.

If we bad beau landed at the Custom Uoase I could hav found my way almost anywhere, but having been landed at tbat strange con trivance caned LsMmUds all my bearings were lost. We soon discovered that it was very bot and tbat tbe streets were not well adapted for strolling in. All that we fonnd were very narrow, verv rough, and bad irregular sidewalks not wider than a pane of glass. A carriage is an unfailing remedy when you are lost in a strange city, and we looked about for one. Nearly all that came along contained Span- isn omcers.

A Cuban lady walking through the streets of Havana would bave been tbe wonder of the town but an American lady attracted no atten tion whatever, for there are enough Ameri cans constantly going to Cuba to show tbat Amencaa ladies are so bold tbat tbey will actually walk oat in the street when they feel inclined. A trim-looking little one-horse conveyance with seats for two. and the driver mounted np high in front, came along, and we hailed it. and started for the Pasaje Hotel over a winding coarse, for through some of tbeee narrow streets car riages are only allowed Jo drive np and tnroagn outers only down.

Pa. nis, Sept. Sa-fFraao ha seldom seen a grander spectacle thaa tbe one beheld in tha Palais de fin lastne yesterday. The atmosphere waa tin iropilioas. for it was al most bitterly cold, and In tbe afternoon it poured.

The An smites and Senkgalians came together, these latter wearing ciepe badges in mem ory of Gen. Faidberbe, who had been the great benefactor of their colony. By this time the palace was surrounded by the troops and entire! blocked off from the rest of the world.

Ibis prevented further crowds and made 1 ie Presidential entrance appear singularly olemn and impressive. Certainly over a th insand people awaited as near as they cou the arrival of President Carnot, who came promptly to tbe minute in a Danmnat carriage, with Gen. Brugere sitting on his left. Cols.

The present date the signal for a more democratic presentation, the President's tribune being muc i more simple. I am told a mere side feature and only the Cabi net ana various presidents on his right. To the left were tne foreign ambassadors. including the gorgeous Marocains. The stage erected for Augusta Holmes's Ode" had been retained! and, after tbe entrance of the President, tne curtain was raised, so that the strong, clear daylight was only seen in the remote background.

On each side nattered the banners of every section of the exhibition, and the sight was a superb one. The Marseillaise, played by the joint forces of the Ke publican Guard and the artillery bands, was sang by all the cho ral societies of France and tbe chorus of I the Opera and Opera Comiqae. and aftet the Marseillaise came tbe Triumphal Hrmn of Berlioz. This gave the signal forhthe cortege to move on- Alphabetical orde bad been wisely observed, and the argentine appeared first; behin( came the sister Hags of Austria and Hunga ry, the Hungarians wearing their national costume; then appeared the Belgians with enormous yellow and red nag. and nin representatives of the provinces, each in 1 different costumes.

All the critics able to desert tbe official pomp of tbe Palais de l'lndustrio. the delegate of the Minister of Fine Arts, Senator and a host of devoted friends were received in the old pleasant home uf the family by tbe artist's aged mother, bis brother Emile, and the widow. The painter's portrait, executed by himself, was wreathed in flowers, aud the bouse and studio were made beautiful by floral tributes.

Besides the official banquet the family had some fifty guests to dine, including the modols of Bastien, the tobacco vendor, who had posed for the now famous Jeanne d'Arc, and tbe cook of brother Emile, the no less celebrated po tato gatherer, ruriwsely every detail was made conclusive to a popular fete. The day began witb high mass to the music of Hummel, Gounod, and Saint-Saens. After the Mayor's banquet at 2 o'clock the statue was uncovered, and I am told that it was doubly more effective than in the cast shown recently here at the Exhibition Rodin-Manet. The painter is seen in his working costume, his vareuse and belt. with his trousers thrust into thick hunting boots.

He holds bis brushes aud palette, the head bends forward as if to scan the horizon more closely and drag nature's se crets from ber very heart. It is a thought ful, laborious work it looks like the artist, and the place where it stands fits its purpose, the painters tell me. Dagnan-Bon-veret made a touching speech. Old friends of the family spoke, and the sobs were many and the tears sincere. In the evening the village was illuminated by common consent and the old mother was left listening to the reading of letters and telegrams from the world over, from those she never knew and can never meet, but who remembered their love for her son and her devotion to him.

Among the few collective exhibits at the Champ de Mars there is none more conclusive to positive genius than the one of Bastien Lepage, and certainly none which have had better and wider influence for all tbat is best, most, sincere, and faithful to nature in art I- K.

A general note of in dignation and disappointment was soansed by tne students at large against tbe football team Thursday nicnt, when the result of the game with Lehigh was telegraphed IS to i The students all thought that the score of ths Saturday before was disoonrsging enough, but the climax was reached when it was learned thst the Lehigh team had soured against the "Nasaan boys." However, the boys are foaling more hopef at now since they have heard that one or two of Princeton's old players will again play on tha team. Conao. but year's Captain. It was thought, would im, uu.

TH HKW-TOKK YACHT CLUB OSLT OATB OMX KXQATTA IX XXW-TORK WATKS3 LAECHMOHT OATS HTXE. During tb yachting season tost closed tha Kew-York -Yacht Clnb gave one regatta In New-York waters and tbe Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Clnb gars two regattas, the being the only races glvsa around Kew-York by tbeso clubs' tn which the slabs were responsible tor the prises presented to the winning yachts. In contrast to tbe work of these two clnb in the way providing yachting contests that ware accessible to tbe yachting people In New-York Is the past seasoa of races given by tbe Larch-mo nt Yacht Clnb on the Sound. This club bas given nine races, tne prizes for which aggregated $2,340. The annual regatta of the Kew-York Yacht Clnb, beid last June, was the only race it has provided for Kew-York.

and this was in accordance with its charter, which demands at least one race a year. The Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club's races were Its aunnal regatta and a special race for forty-foot yachts, both of whiob were held last Jane Immediately after tbe Kew-York Yacht Club's annual regatta. Tbe Seawanhaka Corinthian Yaoht Clnb has given no other yaoht races during the season near Kew-York. It had an annual cruise, whiou was quite extended, the yachts participating lu its Pleasures going as far aa Marble-head, atasa but so far aa working to inoreaso the interest in Kew-York yaohtlng Is conoerned tbe Mlenllflo Seawanhakaa have beea sleeping since Jane lust The match races early in the season between the seventy-foot sloops Tltanla. Katrine, and bhamrook were among the moat interesting races of the season, and they were brought about by axreemeuis between the owners of the boats Meears.

C. Oliver lselln. the Anchincloss brothers, and J. ltogers Maxwell while tbe work of managing them was done Individually by Commodore Gerry of tbe Kew-York Yacht Club and the Kegatta Committee of that club. Theprues agreed upon by the owners of the yscbts were bought by tbe losrs of the raues, so the Kew-York Yiicht Club was not responsible for the Important matches between the Tltanla and Katr.nit ami Kalrina and Shamrock.

The greatest races of the paat season which go to tbe credit of the New-iork Yacht Club oo-curred during Its squadron cruise and at Newport. Tbe club, having established a clubhouse at Newport for the convenience of members that are doing macb to make Newport a popular yacutlng rendezvous, is drifting, to all appearances. Into the way ot giving races off Newport ill preference to having tbem over lis regular course In and around New-York Bay. There are many things whluh can be suld in support of such action, but there are those In the club who oppose Newport for races except as neutral waters fur Kew-York yachtsmen to meet those of Boston In yachting rivalry. The courses off Newport are excellent, and it Is plain tbut in meeting Boston there the yachting men of the Hub cannot go away aud complain of tho poor courses, as some ot them do when referring to those in the lower buy.

But the Kew-York Yaoht CluD belongs to New-York, and that part of its membership uot so fortunate as to own racing yachts I eels as though It really had an Interest In the club when its regattas and races take place over its own courses in the lower bay. In giving a Fall regatta the club was handicapped at the start by tbe negotiations for races for the Amerloa's Cup. if sucu races bad been arranged there would have been exciting trial raced to determine the cup defender, and these. In addition to the tinal races between the cup defender and tbe Valkyrie, would have made it lively enough Lu a yachting way, and the New-York Yacht Club would buve been given tho credit of the eventa It would then nave carried out a yaehtiug season In New ork water worthy ot the leading racing club of the country, the club that goes a long wuy toward covering the history of American yacutlng. and It would not have been charged that the olub la deserting Kew-York and losing its identity.

Wneu the news came that settled the international race question, Messrs. E. I). Morgan and Archibald Kogers offered valuable cups to tbe schooners aud sloops in the seventy-foot clas and tbe forties and thirties, but stipulated that the races should be sailed off Newport. Tbe Kegatta Committee ot the New-York Yacht Club agreed to take charge of the race, and the Fall regatta was abandoned.

The lat Newport races created little Interest among yachtsmen in Kew-York. Tbe Larchmont Y'acht Club opened its season on May 30 with a match race between the seveuty-foot sloops Xltania and Shamrock. It offered a cup valued at 750 to the winner but after tbe raoe Mr. lselln of the Titan ia decided thst he would preier a painting of bis swllt yacht rather than a cup, and the elub was very willing to devote the $750 to satisfy this desire. Its next raoe was the spring regatta ot JuneH.

Tbe Nymph won her race anil a cup valued at $75; tbe Enrybla-Votusla race lor a thirty-tlve-dollar oiip bas not yet been decided, owing to the inability of the Regatta Committee to bave the former measared; the baracen won a thirty-dollar cup, aud the Giggle a twenty-Uve-dollar cup. On June 10 the club gave a raoe for tbe Mosquito Fleet, awarding a tweaty-b ve-dollar oup to the Lestus and another of equal value to the Belle. I hen on July 4 came lis annual regatta, aud the prizes wou amounted to $3tt3. They were: Clara, 10U; Llrl. first prize, 7.

and Manqulta, second prize, $50; Eurybia, Ifcao; Kathleen. $3U; Aura, f'-o; Coyote, 25. and Rival. 23. On July 15 the club gave a special raoe for forty-foot yachts, which resulted In the Papoose winning a oue-huudred-and-Ufty-duUar cup and tbe Nymph a one hundred-dollar cup On Aug.

3 the Kxjati wou a fifty-dollar cup In a match race witb the Monu, and on Aug. 24 the club gave $335 In cash prizes to the oyster boats that won first tend second places In a special race given for tbem The club's next race was Its Fall regatta on bept. 7. when It gave 20U in prizes. The Clara won a prize of 75, Volusia 40, Fauna 25.

Giggle 25, Nlamuck 20 for second to the Giggle, anu individual prizes were given to tbe Giggle's crew. At the special race for forty-footers given Sept. 2, the Liris won a one-hundred-dollar eup and the Manqulta a cup valued at 75. the last race given under the management of the Larchmont Yaoht Club's Regatta Committee was a mutch race between the two Gardner boats. Liria and Kathleen, that was arranged in tt oluuhouso of the Seawanhaka Corinthian Y'acht Club.

It took place a few days ago, and has not been reported heretofore. The owners of the two yachts were curious to see how they would compare in a raoe, and they consequently agreed to sail a match race. There was scarcely soy wind at the start, the yachts drtrting over the Hoe, but before tbey had floated halt a mile a brisk breeze sprang up from the south'ard. and held strong and true to tbe finish, so that the vaohts ibad a good chance to trj their tpeed. The forty-foot Lliis, having ten feet advantage in length over toe Kathleen, won from the start, sailing an excellent raoe.

The course was from Larchmont to and around tbe black buoy olf Center Island, thence around Mattinioock Buoy and return, a distance of about sixteen nautloal miles. The time taken were as follows: Siapttd FinUh. r.we. U. M.

l.r. M. fL Llrls 11 3 25 Kathleen 11 24 00 Tbe courses of the Larchmont Yacht Club are especially adapted to the racing of yachts of titty feet and under, and It ia quite likely that next year there will be established several periods of racing on the Souud in which the Larchmont, American, Kew-Kochelle. and Oyster Bay Y'acht Clubs will Join in giving prize. Yachtemen are anxious to have the races of the various clubs so arranged that tbey will be near together, aud then a yacht put In racing trim for one will be tit for all without extra work and expense in hauling out, cleaning, and preparing In the various necessary ways.

Tbe regular June races on the lower bay, tbe squadron cruise of the New-York Yacht Club In August, and tbe Newport races attending It, and the Fall races on tbe lower bay furnish about ail tbe racing periods that owners of tbe large boats care for; but while they are at It they would about as soon, if not rather, have their UU curb time, which means more racing In June and additional sport in the strong winds of tbe Fall. It is doubtful whether the yachtsmen will go to Newport for Fall races tn any number, no matter what inducements are oilered. It Is quite certain that if the last Newport races had been sailed over the Kew-York Y'acht Club's New-York courses they would have been made more Interesting br the comietiitou of a greater number ot yachts. Newport dm almoac nothing for tbe New-York Yacht Club lust Summer, as its gentlemen or sporting proclivities were Interested in raising money for horse What was done there was done by Kew-York Yacht Club members. Mr.

J. Frederio Tarns. Who ia a nMmln.nl member of both the KewYork aud Seawanhaka v-ujiuiuiuu laont ciuDe and a well-known yachtsman, favors strongly tbe New-York Club restricting the yachts on the squadron cruise to cruising trim. and. after tbe inconveniences endured by many on the last cruise.

A Hindu mill hand named Ramjl Dsji had for some time been suffering from swollen knee Joints and pains In various parts of the body. On Aug. 24 be wont to the mill to get some wages doe him. aad on his return was taken ill on the road. He waa brought home on the bark of a friend in an almost unconscious statu, and was placed In a sitting posture, being held np by bis father.

A man named Deo, who was present, suggested that be was possessed of a devil, in order to expel which Deo swayed himself about In front ot tbe sick man, seized hold of his hair, and demanded mt tho devil who be was. Kot receiving a reply, he struck the sick man violently with a rattan, when tbe latter fell back In a dying condition but before his death another friend took the rattan and beat tbe patient, both men swaying their bodies to and fro and professing to be possessed with the spirit of a god. The flogging was Intended to drive out the devlL laji died almost Immediately without a complaint. Tbe widow narrated these facts to the Coroner, aud described both floggings as bslcg very violent. Tbe medical evidence showed that there were several braises on tbe back and an abrasion on the right blp, but that tbe cause of death was hemorrhage from rupture of tne spleen, which was probably not due to the Hogging.

Tbe Jury found a verdict accordingly, adding that there was no evidence to show how the spleen became ruptured. LKATBKR BUTTO.S. From the shot and LtmtXrr Eeporter. Leather is nsed a good deal this season in the manufacture of buttons, particularly of the large coat and cloak buttons. Tho leather Is prepared in about the same way as It Is for nail heads, and the buttons have much tbe same appearance.

They are hard, smooth, and highly polished. In some Instances being prettily carved or stamped, studded with steels, dto. Unless one was told of what these handsome buttons were made, leather is the last material that would be guessed. They look more like robber or ivory. They are made in all the new Fall shades, shapes, aud sizes, and give promlso of being popular.
