Cuban planters who have been driveu from the island by thu existing troubles are emigrating to Southeru Texas, where the country between tbe Sabina River and the Rio Grande has been found to bo well suited for the oulture of the sugar oaue.

Tbe present annual production is from 12,000 to 15,000 hogsheuds.

From ten to twenty callers, and half as many boose patients, would bo u fair nveruge; the fees would , be 82 aud 35 caeh. At these figures it would not be hard to niake up an iucomo of 820,001) or more. It is said of Dr. Willard Par? ker, I believe, that huviug been culled out of town to attend a patient, re? turned a bdl of ?300, und wheu it wits disputed, ho showed by his books that his daily receipts were much over that sum. Surgeons' single charges are much lurger thau those of physicians, though the iucomo of the latter are probably tho highest. For ordinary atteudauce their rates are about the same, or Bay 85 a visit. From $23 up? ward is the charge for operations. Fur setting au arm or leg $250 would bo asked, larger undertakings being in proportion. For a case requiring u delicate operation and six weeks' con? stant attendance, sometimes two or three times a day, S1.0J0 win lately asked by a leiding surgeon. Iu an? other instance, where a wealthy gen? tleman was badly jammed by a rail? road cur, he was attended by Dr. Jas. H. Wood, who made about a dozm visits, without an? important opera? tion, and sent in a bill of 82,500, which was paid. This is exceeded by Dr. Ciruochau, who ebarg d 82,000 for ao operation alone, while auotber surgeon is said to have received Si.500 from ouo patient. Tho price charged hy the dentists are quite as high its those of physicians. A man of ordinary repu? tation in the profession will a hi-: from 35 to 330 for pulling u single tooth, while Mr. Atkinson, one of the most fashionable dentists, is reported to charge ?10 for simply examining a per? son's teeth aud 325 uu hour fur ope? rating upon them, und has brought iu a bill of 8200 for filling a single tooth. Many people refuse to pay these fancy prices, but it is a common thing to have to pay from 310 to 8100 for den? tists' bills. Most practitioners of any roputatiuu havo engagement!! very far ahead. Ten days is a short time to wait for yojr turn, while a friend ol miue, who went to Europe iu tho mid? dle of last October, on applying to her dentist for treatment, was told that he could not give her a single hour's heed until February, or nearly four mouths in advance.

Hints to Letter-Writers.?Tho postmaster at New York has issued a circular which contains many valuable hints to letter-writers. Considering the fact that there are always? two par? ties to u correspondence, these hints will be useful to persons iu the city aud out of it. The substance of the rules are, therefore, given for the beuetit of all concerned. They are as follows: 1. All mail matter directed to tium bered boxes will be delivered through those boxes. 2. Letters directed to city addresses, street and number, will, if recognized by the assorting clerks us inteuded lor box-holders, bo delivered through the boxes. If not so recognized, they will be delivered through the carriers. 3. Mail matter addressed without box number or street number, will be de? livered as cxpedi'ioouly as possible, either through boxes, general delivery or currier. Correspondents should direct their letters plainly, correctly and fully, and those who rent boxes would greatly facilitate the business if they Will print conspicuously ou their letter headings, circulars, bill-heads, cards und enve? lopes a request to correspoudeuts to address letters to their respective box numbers, und if those who receive mail matter v camera would diu et their correspoudeuts to include iu all cases tho proper streets and numbers in the I addresses of all letters.

It wlib invented by Mr. Joseph E. Hayne, a colored gentleman of Charleston, S. C. The first peculiarity about the press is, that it has a bed ut each end, and ono revolution will print both sides of a newnpaper as large us the New York, Tribune; so that a perfect newspaper cornea oft from the press by one united motion ?f its complicated, yet simple-acting, machinery. It is a self-feeding perfecting platten presB? that is, it takes up the paper without tho aid of a human feeder, after it is oncu luid ou, the roller aud the shift? ing ugeucies turu the paper from one cud of the press to thu other, while at tho same time they turn the paper over after it receives its first impression to take its sccoud and lust impression. Tho completed work is then lifted and dropped by self-action of the press into u box made to receive it. The second peculiar feature is, that it does book work us thoroughly und expedi tiously ns it does newspaper work. Tho plate forms at euch end can bo so adjusted that uuy eizu of chase can be put upon them, aud the aotion upon them is as aocurate as Adams' press, whioh has heretofore been considered without u rival for book work, just ns Hoe's press has been considered with? out competition for uewspapor work. The miuor advantages of the Hayue press ure: 1. Thut ono man can ma? nage the press. 2. It prints 70,000 impressions a day. 3. It can be built for $'2,000, whereas auy other prcsi which can do us much work will cost from ?25,000 to $30,000. 4. It saves labor?requiring bat ouu man to attend it, while a Hoo ten cylinder that prints but 10,000 copies per hour, only a few more thousand per day than the Hay no press, requires teu men to work it, and will cost iu the neighborhood of $50, 000. Mr. Joseph E. Huyue is a man of unmixed African blood, about twenty-five years of age, and a native of Charleston, S. C. Ho is u gentle? man of medium height, of pleasant aud gentlemanly address. His well formed head und intellectual face give earnest of still higher achievements in the profession which ho has marked out for himself. Already his talents have enlisted the wurmest sympathies of such meu ns Col. J. W. Forney, Judge W. D. Kelley, Col. A. M. Clapp and others, who are lending him every u-sistanee towards realizing the pecu? niary rewards of his masterly inven? tion? A Vor National Era Anoth.br Destructive Fiue in Con? stantinople ?Iu Galita, a suburb of j Constantinople, a severe tire broke out ou Monday night, destroying about 100 houses, mostly occupied by Jews of the poorer sort. These destructive tires have of late been more than usually frequent in Constantinople. No sooner uru tbo wooden shanties buriied dowu than they are replaced by others similarly combustible, aud thus it is thut the work of destruction goes on from goueration to generation, without auy lesson neiug lcarued or auy improvement made. The business interests- of Boston are threatened with a serious blow iu the withdrawal from thut city of tho Cu nard lino of steamers to Liverpool, t'ho company represents thut on ac? count of the high rates of the railroad freights from the West, it does not pay to run their vessels to that port. L'?o contrast between Boston and Baltimore in this respect will occur to the minds of ali readers. The Abbeville Medium s*ys: "Jodge Cooke, yesterday,appointed oommitees to uot with him in the seleotiou of three suitable persons to equalize tbo taxation of lauds iu this Couuty.

These may be seen in countless num? bers all over the fields, and at soon as the first two leaves of the cotton make their appearance above ground, these pests 'go for them* and eat them, to? tally destroying the stand. Abont half of the crop was up and have thus been destroyed, making it necessary to re? plant. Tbeso snails work some on the youug corn also, but will not damage it much." The Memphis papers had better look after that paragraph that is going the rounds about Gen. Forrest and bis new venture in the fire wood business. Homo of our exchanges have it that the general has adoptod buckskin breeches, brogans and a black snake whip, and comes into tho city every morning astride of a male, withva load of cord wood in tow.
