Faustin Souiouque, the Black Emperor OF
ksayti.

Sououque, or Faustln Isl, Emperor Of Hayti, 10
a very fine negro, about fifty years old, and OF
very large figure. His physlognomy is mild, even
when he orders execution. His principal pas
sion is the luxury of the toilet Several times a
day he changes his costumes or uniforms. His
epaulettes and coat trimmings are of immense size;
they were made in Pans, expressly for him. Being
a very excellent cavalry officer he fond of Ame-
rican horses, upon which he likes to parade.
1t is well understood that he knows neither
how to write nor how TO read He is full of preju-
dice against those who are acquainted with this
ordinary knowledge, and he says often tn II he does
not wish to have anything to do with that "cursed
pen' which makes the whites so able to deceive
the poor negroes ." 1t not unfortunate, says he,
"o see an honest man tied tor having put his sigma
ture upon piece OF paper, which speaks as it
pleasesP'
Soulouque is not only ignorant, but also SUPER
sitious Priests are in favor with him, with the only
condition that they will atter his passions and al
low him TO practice the awful supersttitions of
the "Obi and Vaudou." The only minister of re-
ligion who has been living on good terms with
him, Is Jesuit, named Liable Cessan, who is said
to be very rich.
The most influential man near Faustln l., is a
negro named Papulo, sorcerer by trade, and the
only one authorised by law to perform Wangas."
He, and the great prlesess OF "Naudou," are the
private councillors Of the exPresdent and present
Emperor. They are the two pillars of that awful
barbarian free masonry imported from the shores
OF Africa. Who would believe that during the
lastyesr, human sacrifices had taken place IN Hayt,
II those facts had not been sworn to by men Of re-
sIectablty, residing in the countryl
The Efat-mojOr Of the Emperor is very nume-
rous. They may be compared TO a quantity OF
leeches, sucking the blood Of the country. There
are, among this body, colonies who are cobblers
by trade, and generals who are cooks. Poyoyo,
the commander of the Genie, is an old negro from
Martinica, who stammers, and knows not even
how TO command his troops. As for the soldiers,
they are more like herd of animals than body
of men. They are covered with rags, and they re-
ceive gourdin "a dollar) month, when they can
get it. No food or roof is allowed them they sleep
in the open air in their hammocks.
The private guard of Faustin l., called by the
Inhabitants The Big Boots" although they have
no shoes, is body Of butchers, ready to obey, at
any time, the bloody will of their master. They
are commanded by three brothers, named Vlithes,
Bernadotte and Ocean Anne-a trinity OF murder
ers, whose actions are atrocious. As for the ma
gistrates Of the island, they the dshonor of JUS
tce, well by the darkness Of their arrests as for
their own imbecllity.
The press of Hayu is a nameless concern. The
language used by the publ shers and their reporters
is a certain potois, which is not even comprehensi
bic TO themselves.

The Entrance Into the Columbia River,
Oregon.


Extract of a letter from an officer Of the Ist
Regiment of U. s. Artillery, on the Oregon expe.
ditlon.
U. 5. STEAMSHIP MASSACHUSETTS, May 10, 1919
AT anchor off ASTORIA.
At length we have reached the long wished for
haven, the far famed Columbia--the terrible bar Is
passed, and we are at anchor fifteen miles beyond
the danger which we have dreaded the whole
voyage, and through which we have so lately
passed. We arrived of the river day before yes
terday, and the sight which we then saw was suf-
fcent to try the of the most daring sailors
From point TO point, there was one continuous line
of breakers, and of such immense height and force,
that should ship once touch bottom on the bar,
no earthly power could rescue 1t from almost I'M
mediate destruction and boats would have been
lowered alongside, only TO- have been instantly
swamped; and for saving lives and property from
inevitable destruction, the idea would have been
preposterous. However, we stood in at III A. NJ,
and some two hundred yards the other side, the
ship commenced rolling very heavily, and the pros
pect was appalling the captain, sensible OF his
awful responsibility, turned TO the Major, and said,
"What do you think % Nothing daunted, the
MAJOR told him to 60 ahead If ne thought proper
We then went on about twenty yards more, when
the command came to go about, and the orders
went TO the engineer to let on all steam; the
CINE acted noby, and worked tunously. Around
we came, the Captain telling us that his courage
and try it again" We fired our cannons again
and again, but no pilot came our colors and sig.
mails were hoisted, but were of no avail. Again
we tried 1t, and sent life-boat ahead sounding,
and with directions, when they found the channel
across the bar, to wave the colors the sea was so
high, that the little life-boat could only be seen
from the masthead, and then seemed to be stand
ing up on one end; soon, however, We saw the
colors waving and then let on all steam and passed
through a set of breakers, which made the ship
roll worse than our severest storms at At this
time we had passed the boat, and she, poor little
thing, could hardly stem the tide, and with an ex-
haused crew, was drifting out TO Oh, what
dilemma for the Captain IL was US much as the
ship was worth to stop-bu, if We went on until
we reached smooth water, IT was doubtful whether
the boat would ever reach us; but, stop we did,
and threw the boat rope, and towed her up to
Bakers Bay, where we anchored, and passed the
night as quietly we had the day IN anxiety. This
morning we came up here, and went aground
several times; but the water was smooth IN the
bay, and we got off without difficulty or harm.
Here we have procured pilot, and start for Fort
Vancouver in the morning. Thanks TO an all wise
Providence, our dangers upon the water are passed,
and trust the same protecting hand will be ex-
tended over us, and guide us through the dangers
vet to come.
