LATE FROM ST. DOMINGO.

We copy the following letter from the Ex-
change Books, says the Philadelphia Forum,
brought by the schr. Baltimore, Capt. Vigures,
which arrived on the 18th inst
CAPE HAYTIEN, Feb 25, 1874
President Herand was proclaimed here on the
9th with appropriate ceremonies. He appears
to be neither popular nor unpopular, and little
interest, except by the officials, is shown in po-
litical affairs, which are now quiet all round the
Island A temporary arrangement has been eff
fected with the French Commissioners which
has resulted in their departure; Government
paying them an instalment long due Of $35O,OOO,
and promising second in July which, how
ever, it is said will not be forthcoming Mean
time, commission is about to be appointed to
proceed to France, in ORDER if possible, 10 obtain
more favorable terms The present Govern
ment is paying somewhat more attention to. edu-
cation than the former and public school, the
first of any kind since the earthquake, was open
ed here on the 18TH Business is moderate.
The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-03-21

MAHoMET.-It has been said that the devil is
not SO black as he has been painted, and it appears
from the following passage by Carlyle, that the i'm
poster Of Mecca was not SO bad fellow as he has
been represented: Mahomet after all that can
be said about him, was not a sensual man. We
shall err widely if we consider this man as a
common voluptuary, INTENT mainly, on base en-
joyments-say, on enjoyments Of any kind. His
household was of the frugalist his common diet
barley bread and water; sometimes, for months,
there was not fire seen lighted on his hearth.
They record with just pride that he would mend
his own shoes, patch his own cloak. A poor,
hard-toiling, ill-provided man; careless of what
vulgar men toll for.''

pFashion rules the world, and most tyran-
meal mistress she is--compelling people to sub
init to the most inconvenient things imaginable,
for fashions sake.
She pinches our feet with tight shoes, or chokes
us with tight neck handkerchief, or squeezes
the breath out of our body by tight lacing
She makes people sit up by night when they
ought to be in bed, and keeps them in bed in the
morning, when they ought to be up and doing.
She makes it vulgar to wait upon ones SELF
and genteel TO live idle and useless.
She makes people visit when they would rather
stay at home, eat when they are not hungry, and
drink when they are not thirsty.
She invades our pleasures and interrupts our
business.
She compels the people to dress gaily, whether
upon their own property or that of others
whether agreeable to the word of God or the
dictates of conscience.
