To make sure that shn was not mistalon, she nsted the HMorguo aitendzut ta look for o poculiar sear whioh hor husbund had upon hia forchead.

Ta no other cruke wes, then, dus the fuct of the roincorporation of tuls country with Spnin—n combination which was thought likely to prove bonoficial by the politi- cal mon of that timo who had no realizing sonso of the great difference of our institutions orof tho sories of insurmountable obstacles to tho ostzblishment of the monarchical colonisl syatem in an Amorican country which bed so Jong bind its dostinios in its own hands, howevor precatious they may have been. Tho war of restoration having como to an end, and the rights of the Dominicans having been assortod, Hayti did not again ontor tho arons as an in- vader, but commenced n socret war of nmost malignant charactor, thencoforth ueing the Do- minfean olement in order to orush the liberties of this peoplo, if possiblo, by the aid of its own wouy, Iayti at onco assomblad the maleontonts, and did all i its dpuwur to encourago robel- lion, offering nid and comfort to tho robaln, giving them an asylum on Hagtian soil, sending thom with arma in their hands to onr frontior, and frequently aslgning Hagtinn reg- ular troops to aid thelr movemonts nnd protect thom in thewr flight. To theeo tacticsis duo tho fact that, consuuing our rosources nnd savings, although always succossful on the field of battie. wo Linve not yot been ablo to complote a victory, T'ho enemies of thoe Dominican Republic fleo to Haytl, whero they live undisturbed, and where they easily vopair thoir continual losses. Such n siluation caused tho people of this Re- ublic to meck to improve their coudition rondering their futuro more secure. They thorefors manifosted a unanimous de~ sire for anncxntion to the great Ropublio of tha United Statos of Ameiica. Unfortuuately that plan faled, leaving tho country in the midat of o multitnde of dificulties created by thrt com- bination, and, what is still more deplorablo, the objoct of the jealousy and even the hatred of othier peoplo whosa interests did not accord with the pm‘fliv and progress of this. 'T'he ngreemont made with the Samana Bay Company has given tho finisbing stroko to this situntion, cspecially ginca tho noiso of its establiehiment hns beon snceoedod by the most absoluto silenca and tho most listloss indifforonce, It not being posible 1w t* ¢ Dominican people to continuo to sup- port alone and unaided tho horrible consc- quences of a combined hajred which manifested itself indisguised attucks and machinations, thoy appeal fo the grent Ropublic of the United States, throngh Your Excellency, soliciting th oatablishment of an efflcient proteotorato wl may prosorve them from unwarrsnted attacks aimed at their very extatenre, ‘Fho Domimean peopla believo thitt this will not bo distasteful evon to the opponents of the plan of onnexas tion. 1t would be an act of muuillcencn and penerosity wheroby the Ropublin of tha United States wouldl risk nothing, sinco it would amply cover withits regis an hoffennive and friendly people. whom Drovidesce dasigned o bo its natural nlly, and all the sons of this pooplo would greet with joy the day when their powerful ristor shiould atretch out n hand to save them from tho dangors which encompnss them; which dangara would instantly disappear in view of such n diplomatic act.

Tho buslnges of mauufacturing dwarfs by mu- tilating children, unbappily, was at ono tinia fol- lowed 08 a_ profeksion by o body of villains who had reduced it to & syatem. In the preliminary chaptors of *L'Homime Qui Rit," Vietor Huzo gives an account of the oporations of these per- gons, whith is full of painful interest. Thoy called themselves ‘Comprachicos,” and they Inbored to supply the demsand which existed n aouplo of ceuturies ngo iu almost every Euro- pean conntry for dwarfs ond distorted hu- man boings” for tho royal palaces und for tho homes of the wealthy nobility. The King must havo his mishapen joster; tho fing Iady bior fanigatic pago or foofmanj tho noblo= man bis hunchback lackey ; and evan tho Bultan his grotosquo buffoon for the seraglio. Tho domand was far gronter than tho uumlly afforded by the freaks of nalure, and the Comprachicos undertoole to make good the doficiency. ‘They fabricated monsters_upon & largo scale. Tho bendquarters of this infamous fruternity were in England, but its ranks wors recruitod from all countrics, and its_oporations wera extended to other countries. The organlzation had its ori~ gin, we beliove, in Spain. Tho Compraclicos procurod children for their purpose In various ways, Sometimes thero was an heir to an estate who was in the woy of some- Tody, and he would bo sold into tho bands of the Ordor to bo mutilated boyond recognition. Sometimes pauper and orphau children would be Qisposed of by relatives who did not wish to take care of them; and often, again, when the raw materizl was not offered in sufficient quantitios, the Comprachicos would kidnrp children for their purposes. Onco in their hands, thero wag no pouflibultdy that a child could bo rescued withéut mutilation. Taken when very young, they wero, as Victor Hugoox- pressos it, *** touchod up #o that their parents would not recoguizo them.” Bometimes ibe Comprachicos would operate on tho spine n such & way that the child would have n humped back ; or thoy would leave the dorsal column straight and altor the conntenance, ‘Ihoy would cat the musclos #o that the littlo ono wonld wear a per- potual and diabolical grin, or would havo its face Bt pormanantly in some foutestic shape. Bya peculiar procesi, the growth of another would be stunted g0 that tho child would boa dwarf; whilo in other cnses the joints snd muscles of tho limbs would be wo treafed thnt they would acquire unuatural supploness. Theso patients would be sold to showmen, who trained them us ‘mogsts, Sometimes, also, tho throat would o monipulated for the purpose of giving the child peculiar vocal powers. Charles IL had o being thus mutilated, whoso office it was to move sround the palace at night, signaling the hours by crowing like n cock. A certain Dr. Conauest, of London, wrote a volumo upon thia kind of surgery, in which lo doscriboa the pro- cesios a3 if thoy had a rightful placo among tho practices of scianco. Tho Comprachicos woro supprossed by statuto ander William and Mary.
