4 DEN OF CRUELTY.

An American gentleman who has been
for number of years a resident of
Hayti, gives the TTaeeller some interest
ing statements in regard to the dungeons
Of Fort Labouc, which the Revolution
ary Committee has ordered to be de-
stroyed. This Fort is situated upon an
island and its dungeons which are most
ly used for the incarceration Of political
prisoners are below the flow of the tide
at high water.
They were closed up a number of
years ago, but have within a year or two
been re-opened by the Emperor. When
prisoners were received at this fort they
were conducted to the dungeons, and
we're there chained by the head to the
floor, with their feet at an angle of forty
degrees, and in this situation, exposed to
visits of legions of ferocious rate, scor-
plons, DC, they were left, to death from
the approaching waves. Of late, it is
said that the guards at the fort, with a
glimmering of humanity, finished their
prisoners with blow from the butt end
of musket before placing them in the
dungeon.
1t is also related that persons confined
in these dungeons succeeded in working
off their irons, and making their escape
The decree for the destruction of thi
Haytien Bastile alludes to the many
eminent citizens who have there disap
peared, and whose bones the remorseles
waves have washed upon the opposit,
shore,

They proceeded 1p the stairs and en-
tered the bare and deolate room, where
the heiress of Ralph Singleton-whose
forgiveness, like that ,fmany other stern
hearts, came too late--had breathed her
last. A few sympathisiag neighbors had
performed the last diices for the dead,
and Myra sat apart inher anguish, mute
and fearless. She da not see the new
comers, until Caroline bent and kissed
her forehead. It was nc time then to ask
forgiveness for her akindness, but the
softened expression Of Myra's eyes, as
she lifted them to the tesrfuI face of the
lady, showed that no worls we're need

Very cautiously and kindly Mr. Lindsay
communicated to her the things Of the
great fortune which was tt end forever
her grinding tolls and weary bondage OF
soul and body. But the girigroaned bit
terly, and only said words that were ar
rows in Caroline's ears.

teresting facts have been noted in rela-
ton to the demeanor of our animals prior
to a great CONFUSION. It was towards
noon, beneath a clear and almost cloud
less sky, with the sea breeze freshly
blowing, that the cities of Conception
and Talcahuno, on the coast of South
America, were desolated in 1885. At
10 O. clock, two hours before their ruin,
the inhabitants remarked with surprise,
as altogether unusual, large flights Of
sea-fowl passing from the coast towards
the interior; and the dogs at Talcahua-
no abandoned tae town before the shock
which leveIled its building was felt. Not
an animal, it is believed, was inthe place
when the d. rQetion came.

A VENOMOUS INSECT.

One great drawback to the comfort of
a residence in Mexico is the constant
dread one stands in of the numerous
vermin and poisonous reptiles and insects
which infest the country, the bite Of
which latter is sometimes fatal, but al
ways attended with the most unpleasant
consequences. The most to be dreaded
of these reptiles is the scorpion, alacran,
not longer than the first joint of your
finger. He finds secure hiding-place /
in the toe Of ones boot, or in the sleeves
of the coat, where he ensconces himself |
in ambush, when woe to the unfortunate
who attempts putting on the inhabited
article for, enraged at being disturbed,
he infcts a series of stings-until he Is
removed from the person--any one of
which is oftentimes sufficient to throw
one into spasms. The sting to an infant
is aleoays fatal; rarely to an adult, but
generally attended with great pain and
temporary paralysis of the part affected,
nervous people being thrown into con-
vulsions. These little torments abound
il old houses, delig'lting in dark corners,
and hiding themselves IN the crevices Of
the wall. They sally forth at night and
drop upon one when least expected
They are often found beneath ones pill
low, or between the sheets, causing a
shudder when discovered. For months
after my arrival in the country, was
scrupulously careful in examining every
article of clothing before putting it on,
shaking outmy boots, and turning sleeves
aud stockings inside out; y e t, no +
withstanding my precautions, | was sew

in disgust, resolving to run my chance
The alacran, though usually small, some
! times grows quite large, and have seen
them as large and as thick as my thumb

!. tunately, the largest are least to be
dreaded, for as they increase in size, they
become less yenomous; they look more
