Havana, CUBA, April 9, 1888 ‘High life in Cuba is more pitabie to earnest con- tempiation than are the pathetically hopeless existences sus-ained by the lowly. Not that the aristocracy of birth and wealth in the splendid island are vey wicked. I do not believe any large number of them are But when the ‘Most earnest observation and s:udy only result 1p a revelation that, aimost wituout exception, the mos sacred product of civilization, the home, 18 eliminated trom experieace, and indeed holds 00 Place in the mind of the wealthier classes of Cuba, ‘Rot even uaiversal social brillancy, or dual Austances of boundless hospitality, can blind re cognition of an impressive and saddening tact. DAILY BABITS. ‘The trouble ts that while the Spanish, or native Cuban, aristocrat has his fine, and often splen- @id habitation, he lives at the club If be have a business he seldom arrives where it is Defore noon, or in Ume to Dreakfast at his ¢s- tabiishment, the grand café or the cink He may return’ for hour or so, but he never fails of dining at his clad, And here he re- mains at cards, at wine, at politics, oF at all three, until nearly morning; ts then driven to his dwn, house; sleeps until ten; 8, served With “coffee” In ‘bis bed, or while dressing; and sees bis family probably with sufficient frequency tobe abie to recognize its members if an unex- ected meeting should at any time occur. There ‘seems to be no heartache or social scandal arising from this sort o: habit; for the ciub is the amily Shrine as universally and irrevocably as one church 4s the rel ‘shrine of this people. ‘The wife and ‘the children nave little else than the one aspira- Yon—to shine at the Drilitant ites and feasts of ‘the club; and as these affairs and the great balls given in’ Louor of countless this and thats, pro- Vide sufficient stimulous tor social conquests, tn- Yermediate seasons, which are passed in shopping, aleep, and siesta, sustain little loss in the absence Of so much of a stranger as the head of the house, Dehe merchant or marquis. Because as this 1s even more marked feature of Cuban high life than in metropolitan cities of the most galety- loving Latin countries, the clubs or centros, cir- culos, and casinos, as they are variously called, Sustaip a unusual and Important relailon to Cu- ban sociology and affairs, THR FIRST GREAT CLUB established in Cuba was founded in 1838. It was known as the “Sociedad Filarmonica.” The best, noblest, most talented, a8 well as wealthiest of Cubans formed its membership, and from it grew the highest development known to Cuba in art, Music, and literavure, The “Santa Cecilia” society followed with the same civilizing tendencies, and soon came the “Liceo,” with still higher musical ud Literary aims and results During tnis Biriod tne noted, pirate chieftain, Francisco jarti, had become a tremendous power in Cuba, ‘In thé first quarter of tne century he bad come, a oor Barcelonlan fisherman, to Havana: plied his ‘Yoeation here; married a uegress, Tomassa; sud- deals disappeared, and tu time came to be the most daring and dreaded contrabundist and free- Dooter ever known in the West Indiea. Governor- General Tacon, having exuausted ail means to bis LF offered $50,000 in god and full par- xy 01 his iOLOWeTs Wao Wouid de.lver to bim ‘the live or dead body of the pirate. Upon this Marti himself suddeniy appeared in the palace in the une ct his own Deu ayer: and, veiore making if known, secured not only the rewu whic be made’a gift to Tacon, but a monopoly for life of the fish privileges of Havana. His miil- tons, diplomucy, and great abluties made him during lus later lite the most hated, fawned after, and yet powerful citizen the isigad ever knew. And on his career to knightuood—tor be became Chevalier de Francisco Maiti, and secured for his egress wife and mulatto daughters “La Bunda de Marie Louise,” the highest nonor conterrabie by Spanish foyalty upon woman, through the gitt of one million tn gold to Ferdic pand VII—in order to honor the irieadsnip of 1 acon and piucate the Havanese aristocracy, be Duilt here one of the largest and dnest theaters in the world, naming it Tueater Tacon. Under the influ- ence and patronage of these powerful societies, tor @ periou, art ans music were given extraorulnary developinent, particularly the latter; and at this very Tacun theater the production of great oravo- Flos aud graud operas Were attended with a spien- dor and impressiveness never outrivaied in any European city. FOSTERING SPANISH PATRIOTISM. Naturally the capital had its imitators, and similar societies were established at Matanzas, | Clentuezos, Santiago de Cuba and all other large | ¢fties of che island.

HIGH CARNIVAL AT SUGAR PLANTATIONS. This 1s of course occasionally varied by visits to such Cuban resorts at Banos de Santi:go, though | the older families still cling to the pleasant custom of holding high carnival in the magnificent houses at the great sugar plantations. [9 was not so long ago that entertainment was here given positively princely tn its character; and even at the present Ume the hospitality and’ gatety are without equal | i any portion of our own country. So, too, the aristocracy set store by the villa-living cus tom sustained by the especially favored rich and titled who still retain their country-seats througn- out the island, many of the most noted of these being within easy reach of Havana, A TYPICAL COUNTRY-EAT. One, “Las Delicias,” butit in 1884, by Don Domingo Sanchez y Toledo, a rich young Cuban, now studying medicine in Parts, 1s typical of them all. It is but two leagues distant from the Prado.
