FROM PoRT AU PRIHCE.-Capt Harper, of
THE bark Charles Z. Lex, at this port, fromi
Port au Prince, states that up TO the time of
shs sailing, 18th inst, the Empire was tranquil;
Nevertheless, the conscription for the increased
soG the army had again been resorted to. andI
was being followed up with great rigor, as all!
males from 16 TO 90 years of age were indis-I
scrminately compelled TO bear arms. The arr
imy is to be kept on war footing, and the.
muster roll not TO number less than 3d. 900 eff
fectiye men.
sAThe ground crops of the Island were abun-l
.dunt and Of good quality, which affected the'
3sales of Breadstufs and Provisions, of which,
the market was glutted. The consumption of!
lFiour was quite limited, and at runously low
sprices. Coffee SSS to 800 per 100 lbs. Log /
wood $4S $50 per 1900 lbs, and Doubloons,
,$246 $3.50. Specie very scarce.
How TO GET RID OF CoCKRoA CHEs.-Mrs
'Tewkesbury, of Nottingham, in n letter to thei
.Manx Sun, suvs: 81 forward easy, clean,
land certain method Oferadicating these nsectsi
from dive ling houses. A few years ago nv;
,house was infested with cockroachPs, ('clocks,
las they are called here,) and | was recom-s
|mended to try cucumber peelings as a remedy.s
Il accordingly. immediately before bedtimes
sstrewed the floor OF that part of the house!
most infested with the verniIn with the green,
ipael cut not very thin from the cucumber, ands
,set up half an hour later than usual to watchi
ihe effect. Before the expiration of that time,
1.-THE floor where the peel lay was con pletelyi
3covered with eockroaehes, so much that theS
Vegetable could not be seen so yoraciously weres
sthey engaged in sucking the poisonous mois-s
sture from it. | adopted the same plan the fol-
Glowing night, but my visitors were not so nus
smerous-I should think not more than f0ruihi
J of the previous night. On the third night Ii
acould not discover one, but anxious to ascer-
/ tain whether the house quite clear of them,l
n examined the peel and perceived that it wasl
scoVered with myrads OF minute cockroaches;
labout the size of flea. | therefore allowed
1.-The peel 10 lie till morning. and from that mo
5nent have moi seen e cockroach in the house,
4 is very old building; and am certain that
I the above remedy only requires TO be pefsever
sed in for three or four nights to completely era
Sdcae the pest. Of course II should be ireshl
camber peel every night.-Buitder.
THE HANDs.-One OF the most common;
I signs of want OF breeding, is sort OF uncom-!
afortable consciousness of the hands, an obyi-i
/ GUS ignorance of what TO do with them, and al
3paintul awkwardness IN their adjustment.-I
Ihe hands of a gentleman seem perfectly at
shome without being occupied; they are habtu- |
lated to the dolce far nieRte, or if they sponta-
,neously move, it is utiractively. Some of
SQueen Elizabeth's courtiers made playlngI
swih their swcld-hiit an accomplishment, ana
sihe most efficient weapon OF the Spanish col
/ Iquette is her fan. Strength in the fingers IS al
Ssure token OF mental aptitude. When Ma
atius burnt his hand of before the eyes OF his
scaptor, he gave the most indubitable proof we
] acan imagine of forlitude; and il was natural
sthat atnlu The fefOcIous bravery OIL ieudai 'ii'eo
la bloody hand in the centre OF an escutcheon
should become the badge Of u baronet OF Eng :
dland.- -1uckermon.
d How TO SOFTEN HARD WATER-A hall
Nounce of quick lime dipped in nine quarts OF
swater, and the clear solution put into barrel
