Only s few hundred miles to the south- east from the rich and populous coast of the United States the little republic of Hayti is struggling for an existence, first against inter- nal feuds and rebeilions and next against what ‘seems to be a tendency on the part of its negro citizens to drift back to their original African condition. It is a land ever warmed by a tropic sun, and the fruits that are indigenous to the soil and grow with little or no cultivation are almost suffictent to support the thriftless popu- lation who in the extreme would need no cloth- : . ata. ce EW 810 oe vers ite e164, Young, Alice H.. 87.73 Young, Maitnda, 250, COUNTY OF WASHINGTON (Agricultural).

ALWATS A REBELLIOUS Panrr. There is always « rebellious party in Haitl ready to follow any leader, however bad, as long as he is against the powers that be, and at Present General Manigat, who is a refugee in amaica, is the popular idol of this rebellions party, which are breaking out bere and there Ps insurrections all over the wiand; es- y im the northern part this ume, and are some who are bold enough to say that neral Manigay sbonld land tomorrow at ald find an army ready to follow bim against Hypolite, but tbe latter isa quick-witted. sagacious man and puts down any Show of opposition and rebellion with an irom houd, and tew who are even charged with trea- son escape the death penalty There is a progressive party in the island who attempt to further the civilization, found schools, start enterprises, build better cities and make the country a pation; and this deserves much respect for their efforts; but the carelessness an indolence of the masses and their complete ignorance and the too com- mon utter iack of morals prove to be a barrier hard to break down, The party of progress, led by the president, have opened a pavilion at the Chicago fair, and hope to bring Haiti into the notice of people of all nations by their dixplay there. Speaking of this pavilion, I saw in one of the January editions of “Le Peupie, the leading daily paper of Port «@ Prince, an engraving of the liberal arts bail ing at the Chicago exposition, and under it was the inscription “Haitian Build: the Expo- sition.” and not one of the thousands of Haitians who looked with vain pride on toat picture thought for an instant that the paper bad made ® mistake. The editor of “Le Peuple,” which is jn French the common language of’ Haiti, is @ brilliant old gentleman who at trey sents the republic of Liberia at Fort aa Prince, end has held a dozen positions of honor under the government, of wnich he is ev.deutiy very proud. for on his official visiting card I finda record of ail these various honors in the follow- ing titles inscribed beneath the name, J. J. Audain: “Ancien Depute, Ancien Sinateur, An- cien Constituent, Ancien Tresorior General, Ancien Charge des Departments des Finances et du Commerce d’Haiti, Charge <’Affaires et Consul General de in Republic de Liberia, Doyen de la Presse Haitienne, Redenctuer em Chef du Journal ‘Le Peuple,’ Granc Officier des Differents Orders,” &c., &c. This love of title is predominant and every one either is or lias been or is just going to be senator, minister general or admirai. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROFLE. Here as elsewhere in the Antilles the women dress in gay colors and carry trays about bal- ‘anced on their heads with apparently no effort, and tbe children of the common people rum | about the streets naked and happy in the dirt and ignorance. In the market place. « great open square, where the popuisce congregate to buy and wares. meais and fruits, one can eve to advan- tage the motley crowds that make up the popus lation. Here an old negro woman, whose rust- ling silk dress and umbrella show her to be of the upper class, jostles against the straight- limbed girl whose single garmert isa gaily colored **Mother Hubbard” gown scarcely conceals her ebony legs below tae knee. made strong and muscular by tramping cver miles of mountain road with fruit for the market on her | head; and side by «ide the fastidioasly dressed dandy and peasant with but two ,arments—e cotton shirt and pair of ragged trousers; while naked children wallow in the sunburnt dirt or piayand kick in their mothers’ iaps. Along the wharvos a fleet of rickety fishing bonte could be seen, and they generally went cut with the land breeze during the night, making the night hid with their unmusical songs, and returned with the sea breege in the | afternoon. Sometimes whole families live in these littie boats, and |almost to « minimum of simplicity, the men | with only a long cotton shirt, the women with | but a colored cotton wrapper ‘and tue children with nothing. ‘This is the poorer class; the richer ones affeet Parisian styles and like to | appear in silk hats and frock coats ‘or the with gaudy silke and satins for the women. have seen a woman in Port au Prince ewelter- ing under a fur-trimmed cloak, with the ther- mometer at 85 degrees in the ‘shade, but her discomfort was nothing to the pleasure sbe ! i | ‘pec orbitan' ices.

There is perhaps nothing which acts against enterprise and civilized progress in Haiti with such a strong influence as the provalence of foodoe or snake worship. The history of this Terrible superstition ‘which is undoubtedly prevalent among the natives, forms the darkest page of Haitian history and the better class are very loth to even speak of it, Ther cannot de- fend it in all its horrors, they will not admit ‘the nation, and they dare not deny it an the | face of all the evidence that exists.
