Revolution I'm Hayti.

HAVANA, March 23.--The long.expected
revolutionary outbreak has at last taken
place in Hayti, and the efforts Of the insur-
gents have been crowned with success. The
city Of Portau-P Prince Is in their hands, and
the people are giving in their adhesion to the
new Government After several days fight
ing in the vicinity Of the capital, nearly all
OF Gefrard's troops went over to the enemy,
and President Geffrard himself was COM
PEELED to take refuge on board Of French
man-of war, which at last accounts was car
rying him and some Of bis officers to Jamaica.
No particulars, excepting those contained in
a telegraph dispatch from Santiago dc Cuba,
have been received here, and thousands Of
rumors regarding this event are in circula-
ton. Several French men.ofwar, belonging
to the late Mexican Blockading Squadron,
will stop at Hayti and enforce the French
claims against the Republic, and perhaps try
to gain possession OF the island by some
diplomatic trick upder the guise Of French
protectorate, which is ardently desired by q
certain party in Hayti, who are tired ofthese
continual revolutions and disturbances ofthe
public peace, leading life Of continual ap-
prehension, and without security to persons
or property.

The FATE OF THE SLooP r. L. SMoNsoN-
Loss OF ALL ON BoARD.-There is little doubt
Of the fate Of the sloop R. l.. Simonson,
which sunk some days ago, during one Of the
recent gales, and all on board persisted She
left Gloucester, Va, with, cargo Of corn,
bound to Norfolk, week ago Thursday, and
was seen passing by Yorktown, the wind at
the time blowing heavy. 1t is thought that
she got SO far down the river that she could
not return, and the heavy seas washed her
matches of, causing her to founder. Several
colored men passing in the vicinity of York
Spit, in canoes, saw the mast Of the sunken
sloop sticking above water with man dashed
to the rigging, with life extinct. The weather
was so rough that they could not get near
the sloop, and SO reported the facts in Hamp-
ton. Capt. Williams, the owner of the sloop,
started out on Thursday with q schooner to
look after her, but had to return, owing to a
strong wind prevailing. Capt. Mccormick,
on the steamer Thomas A. Morgan, saw the
Sunken sloop on Thursday, and judged her
to be lying in four fathoms of water.-Nor-
folk Va.) Journal.

QUEST OF PLAoE.-Some Of our readers will
undoubtedly remember the menngerie-man's
description Of an amphibious animal "He
can't live in the water and he dies ON land =
and this is precisely the purgatorial position
Of great many seekers for Office in Wash
ington. If the President smiles upon them,
the Senate frowns; il they are dstasteful to
the White House, there can be no nomina-
tom if they please his Excellency, there can
be no northumberland thus their money is
expended and their patience exhausted, while
the rays of hope youchsafed to them are cold
and scanty. Under such distracting circum.
stances, sensible men would pack their va
Uses, and return to their sweet homes without
delay.-N Y. Tribune.

DEATH OF AN ECCENTRIC PHILASTHRoPIsT.
John Boynton, q native Of Mason, N. H.,
removed early in life to Templeton, Mass,
where he carried on the tihware business sue
cessfully for many years. His manners were
eccentric but his heart was kind and gener-
Gus. He died on last Monday week, aged 76
years. He was another instance Of the wis
dom Of those rich men who arrange their
charities while yet alive. Having neither
wife nor children he determined to bestow
the bulk Of his property for charitable pur-
poses and besides the gift Of $4,000 to his
native town, he, two years ago, placed the
sum Of $l000 in the hands Of David Whit
comb and others, as trustees, to establish the
Worcester county free school Of industrial
science in the city Of Worcester. Various
citizens of Worcester have added largely
to Mr.. Boynton's benefaction, and the build.

A Mammoth Hotel Burned.

In st. Louis, on Saturday night, the Lin
dell Hotel, the largest building Of the kind
on the continent, II not in the world, was
totally destroyed by fire. There is good
deal Of mystery about the origin Of the fire,
but the most reliable accounts are that it
originated in one Of the west front rooms in
the fifth story about eight o'clock, though
the alarm was not sounded until after nine
o'clock, at which time the fire was confined
to two rooms on that floor. On account OF
the extreme height Of the building, and the
difficulty Of reaching the locality Of the fire
with the hose, 1t gradually assembled until.
finding its way through the sixth and seventh
stories, II broke out through the roof, neal.
the northwest corner Of the building. The
flames spread rapidly from this point, and
extended themselves underneath the roof
across the entire width Of the hotel. The
flames then moved downward until the whole
structure was enveloped. Up to the time
the flames spread across the building there
were hopes Of saving the lower stories, but
as soon as the fire reached the elevators and
inner courts, through which there was
strong current Of air, the fire received q new
and powerful impetus, and oil hopes Of saving
any part Of the building were abandoned,
though the fremen did not relax their efforts.
They continued to work in full force, but at
three o'clock all the inner work was consumed
and considerable portion Of the walls had
fallen. The stateliest, most imposing, and
handsomest hotel in the country is now q
mass Of crumbling, blackened ruins.
The building was owned by the estate Of
Henry Ames & Co., Edward E. Ames being
the representative Of the property. Its origi-
nal cost was little over 100000, and was
bought by Ames & Co. in 1868, two months
after it was opened, for 100000.
The insurance on the hotel amounts to
$4,000, from $4,000 to $4,000 of which
is in Eastern Offices, mainly in New York.
The losers were Hatch, Weaver & Felt,
whose loss on furniture and stores is about
$500, 900; insured for 100000 But little
furniture was saved About four hundred
guests we're in the hotel, among whom were
o large number Of families. The latter lost
most all their personal effects, owing to the
confusion and excitement which prevailed,
and the disbelief that the house would be
destroyed, until it was too late to remove
them.
The losses from this source will probably
reach 100000. The goods in the stores un.
derneath the hotel were almost totally de-
stroyed, although there was abundant time
to save them. This loss will probably be
$4,000.
The total loss by the disaster will scarcely
be less than 81, $780, 900.
Ames says he shall not rebuild the hotel
but Number Of prominent citizens have
already taken the matter in hand, and exer
ton will be made to effect its reconstruction
