BAD MORALS IN HAYTI.-Mr. James R.
Redpath, well known as an anti-slavery writ9r
of some celebrity, has recently been on a visit
to Hayt and has written several letters for
the New York Tribune, which give a most
unfavorable account of the morals and the con-
dition of the people of that country 1t is GER
tainy high time for home improvement on this
state OF things if there is ever to be any hope of
the elevation of the negro race, and the new
government, it is to be hoped, will set about
the work in earnest
Mr.. Redpath's account of the low state of
morals is truly deplorable. He says marriage
is almost unknown. The woman who lives in
the house with the man is regarded as his
wife, but each man who can afford it is expect
ed to support several concubines. And this
promscuous intercourse degrades neither the
man nor woman in the estimation of society.
In6eed, the mother first gives her consent be-
fore the daughter assumes the relation of con-
cubine. The correspondent says the doctrine
of free love, as applicable to the present condi-
ton of society, has had free scope there for
many years and a more utterly demoralizing
system, or one better adapted to drive out all
purity there is from the earth, can scarcely be
conceived of. There are some indications of
improvement, most of those who have had
their education in Europe having returned
with more correct ideas of the marriage rela-
ton.

MRs. HARTuNG TO DE ExECUTED.-On
Wednesday next, Mrs. Hartung is to suffer the
extreme penalty of the law. The sheriff.
Thomas w. Van Astyne, this morning, called
upon Gov. Morgan in regard to this Inflated
woman. The Governor informed the Sheriff
that he had not as yet seen or heard anything
to cause him to interfere with the sentence of
the law and that he had better prepare for
carrying it into execution. Her counsel, Mr..
Hadley, had prepared bin of exceptions,
which, if allowed, can only stay the execution
of Mrs. Hartung. If allowed, it will be argued
at the May term of the Court. This appears
now to be the only hope of prolonging her life.

NARROW ESCAPE. Am itinerant barber,
named Toney, who has the reputation of en-
ploying his elegant leisure, in getting foolish
people drunk and then picking their pockets,
was detected, the other day, in the midst of
the recreation, by which his victim lost some
$40 or $50. An officer was set upon his track,
yesterday afternoon, who traced him to the
Western Depot, where he was indulging in
the fond hope of escape. The officer quietly
took his seat in the car and awaited his oppor-
tunity till the train was in fair progress, when
Toney catching his eye, started for the door of
the car, leaped from the platform and was last
seen summersaulting with marvellous agility
upon the bank of the road. He made his es-
cape before the train could be stopped.

CAST STEEL BELLs.-The Third Baptist
Society, Rev. Mr.. WayIand's, have purchased
one of the patent cast steel bells made by Nay
Tor, Vickers, & Co., Sheffield, England. These
bells are new thing, in this county, but have
been in use for several years in England, and
other parts of Europe. They are said to have
very pure and melodious tone, peculiar to
steel, and in many respects to be superior to
the bells in general use. This bell weighs 1900
pounds, and is equal to one of 5000 pounds of
bronze, or American composition. The cost
of the bell was $780, or about one third less
than others of similar dimensions and power.
1t gives us pleasure to chronicle the advent
of any new thing under the sun, and we con-
graduate not only the Society, apon the pur-
chase of this bell, but also our fellow citizens
in the South part of the city. 1t will be pub
lie benefit.
We are pleased to learn that this Society has
felt the good effect of the revival of trade in
this city. Alta recent meeting, the sum Of
$ll00 was raised toward the purchase of
bell, and for the contingent expenses of the So
ciety. This is in addition to the income from
the pews, which will be some $1,000 or $1,000
more.

A SUGGESTION FROM THE CouRT.-One of
the numerous council for Mr.. Sickles referred
TO the code of Minos and Rhadamanthus. The
patience of the court which had stood unfnch-
ing Absalom and Uriah and Pharoah and Abb
melech, knocked under to Rhadamanthus, and
objected to descending TO the shadowy realms
Of Pluto for illustrations The court even
went SO far as to suggest the propriety of con-
inning the argument to the legal points under
consideration. This suggestion must have
struck the counsel with amazement But II is

PRESENT FIT FORA KING.-The testimonial
to be presented to Paul Morphy on his return to
the United States, consists of a set of chessmen
in precious metals, of the most elaborate work
manship and the most tasteful design, mounted
on cornelian pedestals. The ''reds" are in this
instance represented by the finest gold; the
king, queen, and bishop are in costume of the
middle ages, and each piece is choice speci-
men of miniature sculpture. The knights are
on horses of splendid form, which seem to be
actually springing into the air The whites"
are of fine silver, the costume of the old Nor
men, their dresses of skins, and their heavy
war clubs contrasting finely with the breast
plates, shields, and short swords of their antag-
onists. To give the reader some idea of the
richness of the several pieces, we would men,
ton that the castle is over four inches high,
represented by an elephant carrying houdah
on his back. The form OF the huge animal is
perfectly delineated, the details going so far as
to give the exact texture Of the skin. The
gold in one of these castles is worth over eighty
dollars, and if wrought into any common form,
even less elaborated than the present one,
would be worth over two hundred dollars
These chess-men, which are really of regal
magniicence, were manufactured at cost of
eighteen hundred dollars, and were originally
exhibited in the Crystal Palace at the great
exhibition; they subsequently, being too cost
ly to find a purchaser, came into the posses
sion of the present owners. In addition to the
pieces, there is in preparation a chess-board,
the squares of which will be of ebony and pearl
Upon the four sides will be golden shields, con-
tanning the names of the donors, and appropri-
ate notices, the whole forming together mag
niticent present, such as never fell into the
hands of princes or kings.-.Spir1t Of the Times

A FEMALE ROBINSON CRUsoE.-Three
years ago, Sophia Richardson, young lady of
nineteen years, and daughter of respectable
parents in Cleveland, started for Green Bay by
one of the lake boats, to meet her betrothed
husband, to whom she was to be married on
her arrival. On the passage the captain and
crew became intoxicated heavy storm rose
the bark was dashed to pieces upon a desoate
island, and all on board persisted except this
unfortunate girl. After many hours of untold
agony of mind and body, she found life pre-
server on fragment of the wreck fastened it
to her person, and was borne upon the waves
safely to the shore. There nothing but death
and desolation stared her in the face. In utter
wretchedness and terror she walked up and
down the island but there was not a shadow
of hope for relief or escape. Fortunately, the
high waves had washed much Of the cargo of
the Inflated bark upon the shore. Gathering
courage from her despair, she commenced
gathering up her treasures, and found that they
consisted of eight barrels of pork, twelve b r.
res OF flour, two of sugar, several boxes of can
dy, candles, raisins and behring's, sardines,
buffalo robes, dry goods, needles, pins, thread,
yarn, mining hatchets, heavy clothing, and
blankets. In the pockets of one of the dead
sailors she found a metal box of friction match
es, which lasted during her long solitude Sc
cure in her means of livelihood, and hopeless
OF escape, she prepared like brave and sensi-
Bile woman to make her island empire as COM
Portable as possible On the 18th of February
last after the lapse of three years, during
which no human face had gladdened her sight,
party of Indians visited the island in canoes,
and, learning her misfortunes, by means of
signs, conducted her, by two days journey,
to a French trading post on the British coast,
from whence she was returned to her friends,
who had long mourned for her as dead. Her
experiences upon the island were as wild and
romantic as any immortalized by DeFoe.
