Havana, Cusa, Jan. 9, 1888, It would be difficult to find any other interest- tng foreign land, when its accessibility 1s con- Sidered, so worthy the attention of Amertcan Uwavelers as Cuba.

So, too, there is winsome tnterest tu other than oue’s immediate surroundings in this brief sea Voyage to the tropics. There is tranquilizing con- selousness in every mile’s added distance from the growl and grip of our nortuern winter. Life's asperities are severer when the relentless cie- imental forces, lke a horde of desperate marauders, come out of polar Jairs for onslaught. As the sun grows higher at midday, and the worth star siuks closer to the horizon ac midnight, there steals upon the sense vague pulsings of welcome languor, Moumerabie meemings of wuthing provences, and couscloushess of biessed rest. Nor can one tire of these personal, tnner reallza- ‘tuons in repeated goings from nortiiern fo south. ern seas, ‘There are ever and again these new-old @elignts, They come to you like sudden, sunny stailes on old friends’ faces; and as when you take ‘these old friends by the band you look and feel and know beyond the hand, the face, or the presence, to the Intangibie reality of half-forgotten good, $0 Your heart {xy nold in ample affection upon the oid, haif-seen sights, half-neard sounds and half.

Concerning such points, however, there 1s ho space here foPdiscussion, THE BOSTON COUNTRY CLUB. ‘There is nothing more entirely swell in Boston than the Country Club, which occupies a fue old colonial mansion at Clyde Park, in the suburb of Brookline.

On the ciub’s magnificent estate in Essex county, known as “The Kennels,” meets are held in the fail and spring, with hounds and sometimes areal fox.

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE UNION. A deputation of the Baptist Union had a confer- ence in London yesterday with Mr. Spurgeon with reference to his withdrawal trom the Union. Mr. Spurgeon declared that he must still maintain his resignation. He suggested that the council should adopt a simple basis of Bible truths, such as are accepted evangelical doctrines. He considered that the constitution of the Union did not contain suficient powers to enable It to deal with mem- bers who disclosed heretical tendencies. He de- ¢lined to formally accuse anybody. He said that ‘when he had spoken of a confederacy of evil, he re ferred to no special association in connectign with which deviations from the gospel truth could be discerned, He would continue to support the de- Partnents of the Union in which he was Interested, A plenary council of the Union as been convoked for Thursday to consider Mr. Spurgeon's position.

Reaching the conductor, the following ensued: Minister—Don't you ‘think, conductor, that we are going at an awful speed? Conductor—Yes, Minister—How fast do you think we are going? Conductor—Mile a minute, ‘Mintster—Don’t you think we are in danger? Conductor—Yes, ‘Mintster—Ift we jump the track we are killed? Conductor—There ts no doubt.
