CANN1BALIsM IN HAYTI.-From the fol-
lowing awfully sensational yarn, furnished
by the Hayti correspondent of the New
York Netos, we infer that "Gulliver" is
upon his travels: have to furnish you
something startling, if not new, in the cal
endar of crime. On the 18th inst, there
occurred here public execution. Eight
persons, negroes and negresseS, were shot
to death in the public square. 1t is not
this that will startle you, but the crime
for which they suffered death. They had
been convicted of stealing, killing, cooking,
and eating children. This fearful feast was
held some fifteen miles from this place, in
the interior. 1t was part of religious
rite, ceremony ordained by the fetichism
that prevails among the negroes of this
island. One Of the negroes, being ques-
toned in prison, said with leer that the
children were "good, tender; fingers best
part" They went to the place of execu-
ton shouting, laughing and dancing, and
defying the soldiers to shoot them; for
they insisted that the Obeah priests would
protect them against the balls. They fell,
however, at the second round, and, ac-
cording to the custom, the soldiers walked
up to the bodies and fred third round,
with the muzzles almost touching the qui-
verins flesh. Twelve negroes have since
been arrested for the same crime, and will
probably undergo the same punishment
although the population, melted by the
Obeah priests, threaten to prevent the ex-
ecution by violence. p

SOME curious facts have been presented
to our Government, showing the large pro-
portion of secondhand woods which have
been used in the manufacture of the i'm
ported goods and blankets purchased for
the army. Shoddy is produced by tearing
up into their original tibres, by cylindrical
machines armed with barbed teeth and re-
volving rapidly, cast-of fannels, stock
ings, and coarse garments Of wool, while
the same reproduction of the material of
broadcloth is called mungo. Both shoddy
and mungo give substance and warmth,
but, as the fibre is short and broken, goods
made from them have no tenacity or du-
rability when harshly used. For long
time the shoddy and mungo trade, which
originated in Yorkshire, England. was re-
garded with disapprobation, as dishonest
adulteration; but the great profits derived
from them have gradually overcome all
scruplcs, and it can be demonstrated that
a large proportion of the imported woolen
goods used by the army have contained
but one-quarter, or, at the most, one-third
of pure wool, the remainder being shoddy
or mungo. Our American manufacturers
have profited by the example set and Mas
sachusetts manufacturers "re-construct"
Sleeps wool again and again-prolonging
its existence under different forms to the
latest date.

TWILIGHT PrcTURgs.-Did you never,
when walking through the streets at dusk,
notice the pretty pictures through basement
windows, as soon one after another the
household lamps are lighted? There is lit
tie fellow climbing into his high chair at the
table beside papa and holding his rosy mouth
for kiss. Oh, what will keep that father
and husband unspotted from the world, if
those pure, trusting lips fail to do it. Look
again into the window. The eldest daughter
sits at the table, reading book, her smoothly
braided hair and dropping eyelids she is
reading aloud; and mother sits BY listening,
with an honest pride in her daughters good
ness and beauty. And now they both look
up, the book is closed and the girl springs to
the door, and we see fathers embrace and kiss,
and mamma is well content to wait her turn,
for is she not, the bright haired girl, their
child? Look again. The fire burns brightly.
By its light you can see man walking the
floor with baby's check pressed against his;
the little thing is sick, and mamma is weary
with tending it, and looks on with pleased
smile a. the not ungraceful way in which her
husband handles the little creature and
soothes him to sleep. All, see he kisses the
mothers forehead as he places the baby back
in her arms. Was she weary when he came
back from the Office? Perhaps so, but she
has forgotten it now. ..-.

THE AMERICAN TEMPERAMENT.-Ith has
been said that the temperament ofthe Amer
lean people is eminently buoyant and hopeful.
That they are seldom prone to regard the
most unpromising future in the spirit OF
hopeless dispair is abundantly shown BY our
whole history. But this sanguine elasticity
of character has its disadvantages. The
New York badeperdent declares that to It we
have owed most Of our reverses, no less than
MANY of our successes. It says: II has
stimulated their industries and multiplied
their wealth. II has led to overtrading and
wild speculations, and through these plunged
them into calamitous disasters. It has car
ried them through these misfortunes, it is
true; but with little more consideration Of
natural and social laws, and of their opera
ton in the case of others, perhaps the golden
prosperity might have been had without the
deteriorating alloy. The history Of this re-
bellion and the events that ushered it in are
full of proofs of this proposition. 0verween-
ing confidence in the stability OF our institu-
tons delivered US over, at the beginning, un-
armed and defenseless to our treacherour en-
emies. But the elasticity of our national
spirits soon rose above this astunishment,
and brought us face to face with them, re-
solved on their chastisement. And, in spite
of the defeats which the murderous blunders
of the Young Napoleon brought upon US at
first, If, indeed, they were not organized
through his /" strategy I'VE, sprang to our
feet, more certain Of victory than before.
Gettysburc, Vicksburg and Chattanooga have
put new face upon our affairs, and our dam
ger now lies in an overweening certainty of
success in the field and in the terms Of settle
ment which are to follow it. G. " ~ q

In Chattanooga letter to the Cincin-
matt Commercial, the writer says: Dyling
the engagement at Buzzard Rcot, last
month, rode out to the advance line
while the enemy's artillery were deposit
ing their shells in the Third Brigade Of
Johnson's division. While there, l was
struck with the eagerness of the First Wis
consin, Lieutenant Colonel Bingham, TO
participate. The Twenty-fourth illinois
were on the skirmish line, hotly engaging
the enemy, and SO anxious were the men
of the First Wisconsin to go in, that they
were with difficulty restrained from break
ing and rushing forward into the fray.
During the whole time that they were un-
der heavy artillery fire not man showed
cowardice or an affinity for the rear. !
could not but admire the bravery and
coolness of the regiment but concluded
that they had participated in. this exercise
SO often that to them it had become mere
amusement. Judge Of my surprise, on
visiting the camp Of the regiment yester-
day, to learn that the cool fellows, who I
supposed had srnelt powder fifty times,
were conscripts, who had never before
been under fire! Good for the conscripts.

HIGH DREssEs.-We are thankful for
at least one of dame fashions freaks; she
has turned her back upon low-necked
dresses. and rather insists that collar-bones
and shoulder blades shall be covered. 1t
is certainly great mprovement-no only
because the study of anatomy in private
parlors is not desirable, and that Ameri-
can damsels are apt to run to bone, as some
tall flowers do to seed; and because spin
sters of uncertain age, fearful of being out
done by their nieces, presented such vast
expanse of yellow neck and shoulders to
the view at evening parties as were calcu-
lated to alarm nervous people seriously;
but because, since custom obliges US to
wear garments, there can certainly be no
reason why we should leave the most deli
cate portion of our frames without pro-
lection. Plump shoulders and arms are
pretty; but so (let us whisper) are plump
legs. The mother who should fail to pro-
vide her daughters with stockings, would
be considered cruel wretch; yet year
ago she might neglect to cover her chest
and arms with impunity. We trust this
state of things is over. We hope that the
wisdom which causes every prudent parent
to protect the shoulders of her little girls
with comfortable woolen sacques or capes
will be appreciated, that sense will con-
quer vanity, and that, in short time, it
will be as absurd to see woman in low
necked dress, as it would to-day to see a
man in a low-necked coat.-Sunday Times.

UNDER an act of the State of Kentucky,

The price set was twenty-five dollars, Of

fifteen dollars on account. The purchaser

the case was taken before the military tri-
