A TANRO DANCE IN HAYTI.

A Missionary, writing from Port au Prince, May
10, 1916, to the Christian Contributor, gives the
following description Of Ilaitien dance:
al have seated myself by my window to de
scribe Hsitien dance, which is now in full ope-
ration within twenty yards Of our house. 1t is
night. About one hundred and fifty persons have
collected in the yard, but only about dozen dance
at a time. A small rustic lamp, hung to tree in
the middle of the ring, gives faint light but the
sky above is clear, and the moon performs her OIL
fee noby The dance seems to be divided into
parts of about fifteen twenty minutes each, thus
giving an opportunity for all TO bear some part
They dance TO monotonous beat Of TWO sticks
upon a soap box. At the commencement OF each
turn, Il new party steps into the ring They seem
to take kind Of circular movement, making q
great many strange, not unfrequently uncouth, ges
lures, singing away with all their might. Now
the singing has ceased; but it is only for mo
ment, for the women have begun to strike up an
other tune and now two usty fellows are ham,
mering away with great glee on their soap boxes
Some are engaged in talking, but the greater part
are singing. They have just enough tqfd aboard
to make their voices lively. But oh !! that shout
that halfway scream; it is not fit for earth, and
much less for heaven. For months after we came
here, we were kept awake at night by these half
demon tones away in the distance, and knew moi
how to account for them. Occasionally, one OF the
dancers became so dizzy, drunk or enchanted that
she falls to the ground. A part OF some Of these
dances are so far from decency not TO admit of 9
description.
The drumming comes as near the sound of @
very old grst-mill grinding corn very fast as any
thing can think of.
A great many superstitous notions are enter
tanned and practiced at these gatherings and they
pretend 10 have great deal to do with the devil
Once went out and distributed some tracts to the
bystanders. But all labors of this kind have to be
conducted with great deal of caution.
am happy to say there are many of the bette
informed and more respectable class of society
who do not frequent those dances.

o. The New York Express, of Saturday of-
ternoon, says :-"The news from Europe has had
a very sudden effect on Flour and Grain. AS soon
as the letters received fresh orders appeared
in the market, for Flour, Wheat and Corn. Up
wards of $4,000 bbls of flour have also been taken
for shipment to England at $4,37l, and even at
$4,44 for Michigan and Genesee. This is rise,
in two days, of 25 cents. There have been large
purchases Of Wheat and Corn, at an advance Of 5
cents on the former and for the latter. This ad-
vance is occasioned by the accounts of bad weather
in England, and fresh orders for export"
The Tribune remarks that money is easy in
Wall street for good paper, and several of the
banks the last discount day did not have offer
ngs OF first class paper to the extent OF their wants.
Indeed, first class paper is not plenty, but of sec.
ond class there is than enough, and it is sold
in the stree: at heavy rates. On the best stock Sc
curtles loans easily negotiated at per cent"
The New York Commercial Advertiser says;-
"The money market is gradually becoming easier
and negotiations are effected with greater facility.
Should confidence be restored there is no doubt
that the rate Of interest would sensbly Decline as
the demand for money is quite moderate, and the
banks would be able to axpand largely if the pros
pect OF things bearing upon the money market was
sufficiently favorable to take away from them the
fear Of consequences.

Col. Schouer, the editor of the Lowell Courier,
is visiting the places Of interest in England, Scot
land and Ireland. He writes home familiar letters
which appear in his Courier. He says
:" Ia none of the churches in Scotland, except the
Episcopal and Catholic, is there any musical in
strument used to aid the singing Each church
has what is called a Presenter, whose seat is IN
front of the minister He wears gown and band
When the hymn is gwen out he selects the tune
and he has small signs with the names OF the tunes
painted on them. When he has selected the tune
he fixes the sign containing the name OF the Sc
lected tune, on little pedestal, so that the con
gregation can see it, and then they all rise aud
he leads Off and the whole congregation join witt
him. There is something about this mode OF sing
ing which prefer TO any other. 1t is less mechan
cal and more hearty than the singing of choirs
Ministers here all wear black gowns when in theiT
pulpits and their sermons are delivered extempo
raneously, for the Scotch have a great horror Of
written sermons"

CAPT. SmrHs BEAR Story. About the year
1880 settled at the Lower Peach Tree, in Will
cox county, Alabama, and cultivated few acres
in corn and cotton, besides small potatoe patch,
and bit Of garden as was usual in those days. My
nearest neighbor, John Champion, being better off
than the rest of us, had a nice gang of hogs and
feeling little above his neighbors on account of
his wealth, and being rather an overbearing man,
was not particular whether his stock broke into
other peoples fields or not. My crop was too small
to feed my own family and John Champlors hogs,
too. so I complained to HIM several times, but got
no relief. But being at old Erasmus Culpeppers
house one day heard him say, that if foot or an
ear, or even piece Of bear-skin was thrown down
in place where hogs were, they never would
show their snodts there again. | went home and
rot the skin of bear which had killed sometime
before, and having supplied myself with some
corn, went out and saw about twenty fine year
Odds marching away in my field "tolled them
up and catching good runner, sowed him up in
the bear skin and turned him loose. Off he ran
after the rest, who, taking him for bear, IAN as il
possessed The last that was seen of them was al
Bassett's Creek near forty miles from my house
oaly two being alive, one running from his fellow
sewed up in the skin, and he trying to catch the
other--the rest we're found dead in the road, hav
! ing literally ran themselves to death. 1t is need
less TO add that John Champions hogs staid at hom'
after that.-.Nei0ark Daily Ado.

INDIAN CORN.

! Indian Corn is growing popular IN these latter
days. In days gone by it was considered a very
vulgar sort Of grain only fit for the conmonest peo
Pile to eat. But since the falling off in the potatoe
crops, new virtues have been discovered in PLAIN
Indian corn, and even John Bull seems willing to
fatten on it, if he could discover how to cook it.
A few days since, while dining at the Exchange.
we noticed a couple of newly arrived, sandy haired
Englishmen. opposite us scrutnzing the bill OF
fare. 1t was near the dessert and they were look
ing among the custards, buildings, and pies, for
something wherewith to conclude their sumptuous
dinner.
"What's this, Bob :" said one, "Hindian pudding?'
"Where?' inquired Bob. pecping at the bill.
"EIlndian pudding, hindan pudding" repeated
the first. ais that hiaAian corn do you think. that
they're making such rumpus about at ome"
eyes, that must be it," concluded Bob.
"My hey, them" said his friend, "let's ave it,"
Presently the dessert was brought on, and our
English nelghbors cast their eyes anxousy over
the table to discover the Hindan pudding. But
the difference between them and the lrishman was,
that while Pat knew his letters by sight, but couldn't
tell them by name, they knew Hindan pudding by
name but they could not tell it when they saw it.
At length ore called a waiter
bring US the maize pudding my boy" said he
The waiter started-he didn't know it by that
name.
"Hindan corn pudding my boy, the Hindlan
corn pudding" repea e the Englishman
1t was before them in minute, and they helped
themselves modestly, at first, but Notwithstanding
it was VERY 'ot,' it grew in favor with them un
til there was none of it left in the dish.
! 1t was the first they had ever eaten, and was a
musing to hear their speculations on what was, to
them, rare dish.
at will do, Bob, Ell? | go with Peel for the
| free introduction of Hindian Corn, and I'd ave i
always done up in pudding"
ats equll to plum pudding" replied his friend
50 with the roast beef to boot. It's over barley q
boats decidedly"
A few years ago these men could have found
nothing in America fit to eat, but hunger brings
people to their senses very quick-Baltimore Con

BRITISH MODE OF ANNEXATION. The AdyO-
cate of Peace for August, edited by Ellhu BuTitt,
contains letter published in the Stamford Mercu-
ry, England, from private in the victorious army,
John Lum, dated the 9Th of March, giving some
account of the battles last December on the banks
of the Sutlej. Having spoken of the battle of the
Goth, the writer adds -" On the succeeding morn
ing we commenced hanging and shooting all the
prisoners, which dreadful work occupied us near
ly the whole of the day !" We had thought that
the 18th century was sufficiently Mortified with the
roasting of the poor wretches in Algiers, under
French barbarty but if the above is true it would
seem that England seeks to Guido her illustrious
rival. How horribly shocked the sensbities OF
the English and French people often are at the
cruelty and injustice of American Slavery
