CoSDrIox OF HAYrL-Aletter written by
gentleman in Hayd has been recently translated,
giving the gloomiest possible description of the
social, political and commercil coalition of the
people of Hayti, the writer asserting that the
inhabitants are fast retrograding into African
barberism A contemporary fortifes theIdtter
by showing the decline in Haytien exports in
sugar, coffee and cotton since 1889, when the
Island was French dependency. Some of these
statistics we quote. For Example, while the
export of raw sugar in 1889 was 90, SIS, 900 lbs,
in 1s50it had totally ceased. The export of
coffee had fallen, in the same period, from 49,,
s35, 2I9 lbs, to 80, Cos, 343; that of cotton had
declined from 1885, PIG lbs. to 1856; while
white sugar, which was 47,516,531 lbs. before
the Island became free, had terminated fifty
years ago. Unlike manner, indigo and tobacco,
which had been lucrative products to the Hayti-
en- planter, no longer appeared on the list of the
exporter. In short, while the exports of the
Island, as colony, had risen as high as two
hundred and five millions of francs, they had
been gradually falling since Hayticn indepen-
dence was declared, till they had now sunk as
low as three millions and a half-F philadelphia

Now NORM MoRAIs,

you are quite right sir, quite right; we here
in New York IRE badly governed, said gen.
teel looking young man to a country merchant
with whom he was conycrsing in the reading
room of hotel theother day. .'No wonder,
sir, he continued, shat young gentlemen from
the interior, should be surprised and speak with
surprise on the subject. But how think you we
must feel, who have to pay the burden of such
government Look at our police system 'Tis
rotten, sir-rotten to the core. Big thieves fill
our big Offices and steal largely, but in respec
table way. These are bad enough; but one of
the greatest griefs Is the abundance Of small
thieves and pickpockets who ply their profes
sion with almost perfect impunity. They are
scarcely ever arrested; and if SO unfortunate as
to be so, they can always find it easy to escape
and syade the law in some way. Why, sir, You
have no idea Of the number of professional
thieves III this city. j venture to say land
speak knowingly that they can be numbered
/ by thousands. They are shrewd fellows, and it
takes shrewd eye to recognize them. Many
Of them dress in the height of fashion, wear
heavy gold chains attached to their watches,
(here the speaker took hold of heavy gold
chain and examined his costly watch and look
and have the air of gentlemen Why, sir, you
might actually speak with one; exchange cour-
tesies with one and not know it. All, sir, It's
really more surprising to one that is not posted,
but more surprising than all, that the citizens
do not rise Indignantly and insist on reform
rousting from office the thieves that fill them,
and disbandinga police who are in league with
| thieves and picIpocketS, instead of performing
the duties for which they are so well paid
Something must be DONE or ii not, we will
lose our trade Country merchants iIlforsake
us from very fear. Why, Sir, It's but yester-
day that merchant from the west was robbed
of n large sum of money, while sitting quietly
in his hotel, and was compelled to borrow funds
from friend to pay his way home. 'I'is really
awful, Sir; and assure you that /, as well as
all good citizens regret the existence of such
state of things. Good night, Sir, good night, |
always keep early hours, as have to be in my
office at 81

burne, who made so narrow an escape from death
in the Gasometer, last week, have entirely recov-
cred from the effectsof the poisonous air. They
have not exactly arisen from the dead to tell us
the sensations of the dying, but they give us IN
experience which leaves no doubt that those who
desire to shuttle off this mortal col" can not
find u plCasanter method that by getting into
gasometer, from which the poisonuos air has
been imperfectIy exhausted. Goodwin and Ley
burne remained unconcious for hours after they
were rescued, and made no other signs of life
than spasmodic gasping for breath, at long in
teryals. Both were CHASTITY spectacles, and few
who saw them supposed they could be resuscita-
ted. Violent friction was resorted to, among
other restoratiYcs, but both of them say that
they have no recollection whatever of anything
that transpired after they entered the gasometer,
until heirrestoration to consciousness nearly
