A SwINDLE.-With the good will We bear
] all the inexperienced in community, we ought to
! apologse for not sooner putting them on their
guard against class of miscreants sometimes
scalled Sharpers:-because they are "sharper
ethan their victims, we suppose. However,
! some have obtained the necessary information
sby paying for it, and are not likely to forget it:
1--WE now impart it for the gratuitous benefit OF
lothers. Not many days since there were lott
iering about the places of resort in the village
scouple of worthless, with apparently but little,
sfany purpose in view,and devoid of care. They
iwere not to appearance acquainted with each
sother, nor would any one be likely to suppose
they had a single thought in common. One
was usually carelessly lingering and rubbing a
,,curiously wrought ball of the size of a small
5hen's EGG. At favorable moment, he would
] challenge the other to open the ball. The chal-
lIenged person would accordingly attempt to
] o,en it but failing, would become excited, and
Joffar to bet that he could. No, the owner OF
1.-The ball wouldn't bet-not he; but any one
might open the ball that conld and while the
crowd were examining it, he carelessly stepped
! away or left the room as the case might be,
5during his absence, the knowing one would a.
;gain get the ball and succeed in opening it, fin
ading within it FIVE cent piece. "Now. then,
says he, "we have him, let US take out the five
Jcent piece, close it just as it was, and when he
7 comes back, we'll make him bet" He is not
5Iong in coming back, and there are generally
ssevera in the crowd who feel roguish and sharp
ienough to catch him. Bets are offered and &C
scepted that some one in the crowd can open the
4ball. All try and none succeed-not even he
dwho at first opened it! Of course the ball man
Twins the bets. Some swear the bali has beer
Z changed-some one thing some another--none
xseem to mstrust the truth. Now, gentlemen,
! says he, "I'll take the ball ard open it before
the whole of you and find a fre cent piece in IL.
d"No, you can't, says one''-he would have told
8why she couldn't, but some sharp one has mo-
{ tioned him to be silent. "Whotll you bet, ger
gtlemen2 sin course, in course" those who
9have seen the five cent piece taken out witt
stheir own eyes, will bet there is none in the
3ball: when the bets are all made, the ball mar
aopens the mysterious ball, and dscloses anoth-
Ger five cent piece. BY this time the crowd be-
8 gin to perceive they are picked up, and feel q
.,returning conscientiousness about betting anC
Isgamblng. Moral never bet anything with {
H''stranger.''

LATE FROM YUCATAN.


By the arrival at Havana Of the brig Amis-
tad Campechana the Editors of the FARO have
received intelligence from Merida to the LIST
Jan.-six days later than previous advices.
The Congree of Yucatan had voted an extra
appropriation to sustain the war against The
Indians; and had authorized the officers of the
Government to reside together at any place
where they deemed it most convenient. The
town of Ichmul was taken possession OF by the
Indians on the Oath Dec. after having been E.
vacuated By Don Miguel Bolio who, at the head
OF his troops, escorted 500 families towards Pc
to. Bolio, with corps of 400 men, sustained
himself for several days against the repeated
attacks of 6000 savages, and only refreated
hen his little baud was exhausted with ia
t:rue, and further resistance would only expose
them and the ia miles under their protection to
the ferocity of their enemies. On the Goth Dec.
Senior Rosado effected a junction with Boio at
Peto, after overcoming many difficulties. The
sayapes had evacuated the town of Nabalm,be
ing appreheDsiye of attack from the lucatan
forces.
The Revista Yucateca describes the deplora-
bic condition of the Peninsula as owing to the
whites having considered the Indians their E.
arals-having bestowed upon them the right Of
citizens: furnished schools for their instruction,
and attempted to bring them to state OF civil
ration. Any other European or American
peol le, says the Revista, would long since have
evtermina'ed these savages for their atrocities
aid cruelties.

Late and Interesting Intelligence
from Cuba.

A TERRIBLE HURRicANE!-We have received
files Of Matanzas papers up to the 18th of last
month, which report terrible flood at Sague
and Mayarl. The loss experienced in these
districts is computed to amount to $780, 00.-
We extract the following from letter receiv-
ed at Matanzas, dated
ST. JAGo, Dec %, 1917.
At o'clock in the afternoon OF the 18th of
this month, the wind began to blow from the
northeast, accompanied by some rain; it con-
tinued thus till o'clock, at which hour the at
mosphere became thick, the wind changing
from northeast To northwest, blowing with more
fury, and the rain continuing unit. o'clock OF
the same day, when the inhabitants began to
fear some catastrophe, since the violence of the
wind and the continuance of the rain pronoun-
ced it such. At l o'clock at night of the 18th
the large river Miguel Castro became swollen
20 an immense size, burying beneath its waters
the fourishing tobacco crops that grew on its
shores, and afterwards extending much further,
without dykes that could detain it. The inun-
dation of the district was almost general.
The furious wind that blew-the terrible
foods that poured from the clouds-the impetu-
Gus and irresistible current of the rivers which
every where overfowoed their banks-the sor-
rowful peasants, wandering from one place to
another, in solicitude of gathering their fami-
lies and cattle, to save then from this terrible
hurricane, presented sad though imposing pic
ture. In this manner 1t continued till clock
on the morning of the 18th, when the wind
ceased, and the clouds retained their torrents.
On the evening of this day the rain again pour
ed with redoubled fury, at midnight the rivers
grew to more dangerous size than they did
che day before. The tobacco crop, the fruit,
and the cattle of that district have nearly all
re,saaneS entombed in the bosom of the rivers.
With respect to personal calamities, we are
unable now to give you any information, for at
this date the rivers have not yet regained their
natural channels, and until these are fordable,
we can give no exact news.-PhH. BuHetin.

Cd. The precaution adopted, it Is supposed;
prevented an attempt to execute the plan. The
projectors OF the Instruction were either blind
10 ei1ects of their plan, or fOreseeing them,
have been utterly reckless as to the consequent
cies which would result to their own country
men; for if the attempt had been made, there is
not an officer in the army, not excepting the
COMMANDMENTS Chief himself, who could have
restrained the troops from sacking the city.
During the night, Lieut.. Eaker of the 9th In
diana regiment, commanding patrole, came in
sight of two carts near the Piazza de Zorro in
the south eastern part of the So, one Of which,
Containing one hundred stand Of arms, he cap
tnred: the other he was unable to come up with
before it was placed in concealmen,. Wheth-
er General Scutt has the names of the parties
who originated the plot, or not, do not know
but it is pretty well understood that the chief
conspirators are among the soldiers Of the Mex
lean army, who assumed citizens dress~when
our army entered the city, and have remained
here ever since. A few days may reveal more
in relation to the matter.
You will perhaps learn, before this reaches
you of similar attempt at Puebla, which the
prumptitude and energy of Col. Chlds npped
in the bud. Enclosed, you will find Colonel
Child's PROCLAMATION in the Spanish.
FIGHT WITH THE GUERRILLAS..
Col. Dominguez, OF the native spy company,
or contra guerrillas, arrived yesterday, with a
letter mail from Vera Cruz. On his way up,
he made a haul among the guerrlas infesting
the road. The following account of it, from
the Star of this morning, is the correct re-
port.
"a little towards the left of the Santa Fe,
Col. Dominguez ascertaned that there were
some fifty or sixty guerrilas under Col. Zeno-
bia, lowering in the vicinity. He charged upon
them, and they dispersed without firing gun.
On the 9th, on the plains of Salao, between O.
10 de Aqua and Nopalucan, the proprietors of
the hacendas of St. Gertrude, Santa Clara, Sc.
requested aid of Col. Domnguezi in their efforts
to libcrate themselves from the robberes of Tor
rojon and his party, composed of $50 cavalry
and two Amerisan deserters.
The Colonel with his escort of 20 men enlarged
upon them, and, after slight brush, put them
completely to route, taking Gen. Torrejon, Gen
Minon, Gen. Gauna, and FIVE other officers, pris.
oners, fifty Mexican cavalry, and two American
deserters. These were all placed at the dispo
sal of Col. Childs, at Puebla. 1t appear; tina
Torrejon, when captured, was about procesdint
to San Andres, to join the forces in that place
and march thence to Cfizaba. Pursuing BIZ
course towards the city, Inc Colonel, upon en-
tering the Pinal, perceived party of guerrilla
on both sides Of the road, but was not attacked
On the l0-that is, day before yesterday-neal
the Venta de Cbalco, Padre Jarauta was seeI
with some two hundred guerrillas.''

q OFFICIAL MISUNDERSTANDING the acts
aof the present Executive of Michigan there is
Zone, which we have hitherto neglected to men
ation, but which, from the moment we heard of
sit we determined to present, with comments, tc
! the consideration of the People. We need not
say that we allude to the appointment of Mr.
Chapman, familliarly known as Black Chip, &c
/ the responsible office of Prosecuting Attorney.
Never have we known the appointing power to
/ be SO grossly abused. 1t is not enough to say
! of this appointee, that he is destitute of COM
mon honesty, or the smallest claim to respect
liability; but he can and has-and it is matter
] Of notorety-stooped to a depth Of degradation
and meanness, entirely below anything gener-
dally thought possible to the human FORM
3When we say of MIR. Chapman, that he perjur
led himself by forsaking wife, whom he had
sworn to protect, for the society of an abandon
led woman, we are certainly low enough for any
aconcevable scale of human depravity. But
when to this, we add, that he sought by subor-
ming perjury in another, to conceal his own cul-
Dability, by aeresting array from that aoife aeF
actaracter to obtain a diuorce, we are satisfied.
anothing need be added, to complete, the picture
aof his guilt. All these facts, and the deeply
3iniured womans Justification, by tho setting a
sside of the Decree of the Divorce latter his has
Eity marriage with his accomplish in iniqufy,by
(which he became, in fact. bigamist, are mat
a.ers of notoricty. The Governor cannot plead
and, therefore. in this appointment,
give are to take it for granted that he esteems
such moral corruption very lightly. There
gcan be no question but that he does; and such a
3bluntness of moral sense should warn the Peo-
I pie against elevating him to station where he
dean give powerful sanction to the worst OF
drce by such an appointment. Chapman
Prosecuting attorney! Where was the man
aiof his party that did not blush scarlet at his
detection to Congress, and aver that he could on
sly have been elected in the zeal and excitement
sof the Presidential contest? Where was there
Ia member of Congress who would be little him
selfby associatng with him2 Where is there
Ia man of his profession who respects him! Who
awould entrust him with his private business
dexcept Gov. Ransom.
q Even the old Proverb: sSet thief TO catch
IA thief" does not excuse the Gov. in this case
flor there is not thief in this state, who ought
|5not to feel doubly disgraced by being compelled
Ito endure the acquaintance of Black Chip, during
1.-The ordeal of Prosecution.
i If Chapman is a fit Prosecutor, where, we
TASK, are the criminals?

TO THE WINGS.

The contest may be said to have commenced
dBy reference to our Editorial columns it will b.
seen that our State Convention for the nomina
Jtion of Delegates to the National Convention
aand Presidential Electors, will meet on the sec
sond Tuesday of MAY next at Jackson. 1t al
/ ready high time for the Wings to bestir them
lselves, and begin to renew their old orgaliza-
stions. Remember we enter the contest witt
/ the great advantage of having the argument:
iwe rused in the contest of 1914 confirmed by sat
,experience-more than confirmed.
j The Tariff of 1912, under which the~country
3had become prosperous, has been supplanted by
| the scheme of 1916, framed TO promote the in
5terests of importers and Foreign Manufacturers
lat the expense of our own; and though the
4dreful destitution in Europe, has hitherto pre-
avented its worst effects, our monetary system
aalready feels TO alarming degree, its destructive
itendency. The Annexation of Texas, as was
/, predicted, has brought war along with it, in
which the best blood or the country has beer
lspilt, millions of treasure wasted, millions OF
5lebt contracted, to be betrayed by future taxa
ztion; and millions of acres of Public Lands,
fthrown into the hands of remorseless specula-
!tors:-And not the least of all the sad conse-
squences, a foreign republic has been thrown
supon our hands, which we can neither, hold as
Ia conquered Province, or absorb as sister States.
without the inevitable destruction of our Union
] and Liberty, nor make peace with upon terms
! (which can avert many of the fatal effects of oul
Encouragement.
The Sub-Treasury scheme whose deadly
aeffects, even under more favorable circumstan-
Ices than the present has been felt, and which
] was in 1910, Indignantly regretted by the Peo-
pie, has been revived, and in defiance of Its re-
lection is now the Law of the Land: While
lin numerous circumstances the arbitrary veto
sof the President. has defeated the wishes of the
people as expressed by their representatives.
dThis increasing concentration of power in the
lhands of the President, and the corruption Incl
jdent to the alarming increase of Patronage in
lduced by the war should incite in every mind
