THE GROVER Il BAKER ELASTIC.
STITCH SEWING MACHINES

Are superior to all others for the following
reasons:
1. They sew direct from the spools, and
require no re-winding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood and
used, and less liable TO arrangement than 9TH
er machines.
3. They are capable of executing perfect
", without change of adjustment, a much
greater variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made by these machines is
much more firm. elastic, and durable, espe-
cially upon articles which require to be wash
ed and iroaed, than any other stitch
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in
which the outer thread is nwrought, is much
the most plump and beautiful In use, and re-
tains this plumpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed and ironed until
they are worn out.
6. The structure of the seam is such that,
though 1T be cut or broken at intervals of on
" few stitches, it will neither open, run, nor
ravel, but remains firm and durable.
Z. Unlike other machines. these fasten
both ends of the seam by their own opera
ton.
8. With these machines, while silk is used
upon the right or face side of the seam. cot
ton may be rsed upon the other side without
lesseniEg the strength or durability of the
seam. This can be done on no other ma
chine, and is great saving upon all articles
stitched or made up with silk.
9. These machines. in addition to their
superior merits as instruments for sewing, by
a change of adjustment, easily learned and
practised, execute the most beautiful and per-
manent embroidery and ornamental work.

Ingly gratifying. Within two days the irritation
ofthe throat was removed the cough subsidized. and
speedy cure was effected. Soon after this sent

in the Constitution, inasmuch 4 as IT.
makes the removal from Office of an obnoxious
ruler, by any means short of revolution,
almost a matter of impossibility. Add to tins
the fact that the military spirit, inherited from
the revolutionary period, pcrmeates every part
of the organism of the Government, and 1t VIII
be seen upon what an uncertain basis pubic
tranquility. as n rule, must rest in Haytl. There
are no safety-valves there, such as periodical
elections afford. through which the political
passions of the community might escape harm
lessy; and there are always to he found am
bilious military men ready to take advantage
of the shortcomings of the Executive, in order
TO oycrturn the Government, so that they
might mount into power. The key to the
history of Haytan revolutions is to DC
found in that provision of the Constitution
which makes the Presidency life ONCE
and in the fact that the rulers OF the
the Republic have been, almost without exccp-
ton. successful generals. These revolutions
then, we contend, fairly considered, do not give
negative to the question: '. the capacity Of
the colorod race feF self government What is
needed in Hayti is more liberal and popular
constitutional constitution republican In reality
and not in name only. With such form OF
government we have not the slightest doubt
that Hayti would amply vindicate her claim to
be ranked in the family of civilized and pro-
gressive nations, although she must of neces-
sity, remain q humble member thereof.
With regard to the recent revolution, partic-
ulars of which have appeared in our columns,
the intelligence we have is scarcely explicit
enough to enable us to form correct Judgment
as to its proximate causes. From all accounts,
however, it appears that President Gefirard had
the misfortune to be surrounded with Ministers
who were more intent upon their own aggran-
dizement than upon the advancement of the
public interests, and that notorious maladmin-
istration compromised his reputation, and
fastened his downfall. AT the same time, it is
some relief to find that the revolution has been
accomplished on the whole so peaceably; and
by choosing to abdicate rather than involve
his country in the horrors of a bloody civil war,
the ex-Prcsident of Hayt has furnished an ex-
ample which rulers of greater pretentions than
he could make might do well TO ponder

THE H4yTTiN RETOL UTTONS.

The history of the negro RepIblic of Hayti
possesses a peculiar and exceptional interest,
arising partly ont Of the remarkable circum-
stances which attended the birth of the Re-
public, and partly from the fact that the Gov
eminent is colOred mans government on its
trial Opinions differ as to how the expert
ment has hitherto worked but for our part,
we think that, taking all things into account,
it has succeeded quite as well as could have
been expected. 1t is not more than siXty-three
wears since the declaration of Haytian mde-
pendence, and it was not till the accession to
power Of President Boyer, i'll 1878, that the
country obtained sensible relief from
the crushing evils of war of factions,
which had grown out of the revolutionary
struggle. The cessation of civil strife lett
Hayti, at that period, all but completely pros
trate in her industrial interests but in spite Of
the repeated revolutions of the last twenty-five
years. and an extremely faulty financial legis-
lation, the trade and commerce of the Republic
have steadily increased from year to year, and
unprecedented strangers who have Travelled in
the interior report degred OF well-being and
domestic comfort among the peasantiy totally
at variance with the prevailing ideas MS TO the
condition of these people. In the matter OF reyo-
lutions. while it is true that they have been
painfully frequent, yet hey are not,
by any means, of such common occurrence
as is generally imagined. Many per-
sons are under the impression that the
Haytians change their rulers every two
OF three years by getting mp n revolution.
Nothing is further from the act. During the
sixty three years of its existence as Il Repub-
he Hayti has had only nine Presidents Gnclud-
ing Dessa;, .?rs and Soulouque who made them
selves Emperors), and four of these divided
among them no fewer than ffty-seven years
ont of the sixty-three. Petron held power for
II years Boyer for %; Soulouque- for II, and
Gefffard for eight. Now considering the
structure of the Government and the peculiar
characteristics of society in Hayti, the wonder
really is that the changes of ulers has been so
few. Hayti is democratic Republic; but the
President holds Office for life, without the
mower of naming his successor, and he is IN
vested with powers of the most extraordinary
character, being in fact an mtocrat in every
thing but the name. This life tenure
of Office is. we think. serious fault
