The arrival of the "Caravelle'' has
placed Us in possession of later news
from the North Of Hayti. On the 3Oth
April, Salnave was proclaimed Dictator
by his own army at Trou. The Cacos
having retired, as we learn, for the pur-
pose of joining General Nisage's army
at St. Mare, to which point Salnave was
supposed to be marching.
oalnaveTeached the Haul du Cap, two
miles from the town of Cape Hayti, on
the 1st May, and on hearing of the rebel
lion at ST. Marc, he set out for that place
reaching Plesance on the End. Here he
shot 25 people belonging to the village
on mere suspicion OF conspiracy. This
act had created immense excitement. lie
next proceeded to G~onaive$, an unfortifi-
ed town "a miles from st. Mare, and was
not aware of General Hcctor'S movement
at Jacmel, nor of Potion Faubert's arm
ing at Leogam.
A portion Of the army of the Cacos
had occupied all the positions between
Cape Haiti and Gonaives, Immediately
on Salnave's passing on his way to st.
Marc.
With General Massage, General Hec-
ter, and General Fauhert in front, and
Caoos in the rear, Salnave's chances of
escape would seem TO be very small.

sThe old imam never tired of casing
about the "time of DEATH" as they sill

looks etarnalIy like "ile." But there's
one thing as we think needful that one

RAPIDS AND EARTHQUAKES.

Sitting beside the fire after supper, con-
versatlon turned upon rapids, and many
were the stories Of accident and danger
related by these companions in their curt,
picturesque manner. At length the sui
iect was changed by FanSten. 'Ay,' said
he, shooting a rapid is Skcary work some
times, when the water is low as to-day

feel it, an I've seen big bulls pitched

When was that? I've heerd a yarn

No; but an uncle of mine was invalided
from a ship as put into Fonseca, an he
was fixed at Playa Grande at the time.

old man used to tell-as ever was seen on

sunny morning, which was to be the last
} for a half of 'em. They lay in hammocks,
an smoked an dozed, like worthless
cusses, as they are ar most of 'em, no
doubt, had full in sight the big mountain
on t'other side the gulf. They'd nigh
forgot to call it IL volcano. Not for a
thousand years, as the Indians told, had
smoke or mischief come from that hill ;
an they'd ha' laughed any one silly as
had talked of danger from Cosequina.
AT ten o'clock, the 2tst of January
1885, that mountain burst out agin, an
in ii fury such as never yet was known in
the upper world, no, nor ever will agin,
as [ believe, until the last day. Suddlntly
ii burSt-not muttering beforehand, nor
smoking, nor warning the people with
tremors, but crash all on the moment,
as if to remind men what evil power was
yet left in nature to destroy them. At
ten o'clock that day, the voice of the
mountain was heerd after a thousand years
silence in such "A thunderouS roar it was
heerd, that bird am beast fell dead with
the sound alone, an great cliffs pitched
into the sea Ay, this is no gas, boys;
there's thousands an thousands still alive
to witness. For a while, the streets of
Playa Grande an of Nagascolo must have
seemed like streets of the dead, for every
soul in them locations was stunned.
When my uncle recovered sense, the
folks was lylng in their hammocks or on
the floor, motionleSS an SenseleSs as corps
es. The sky was still bright an blue,
but on the mountain side was a cloud like
ink, which rolled downwards as a cap
alnto the foot. Nought afterwards seemed
so horrible to the old man, he said, as
the sudden heaping of that jet-bIack
mound in place of the sunny green bill.
But it didn't long offend any mans
sight-over heaven and sea the cloud
opened an spread. lightning an thund-
erS burst from the heart of the ocean, an
sheets of flame glared luridIy upon the
sides of Cosequina. The darkness spread
over the land so quick, that at Leon, two
hundred miles away, they were Lighting
the church candles within an hour after
the outbreak. But candles, nor torches,
nor houses afflame could not disperse that
darkness. For three days, no soul in
Leon saw another's face, nor ventured out
but to the bowling churches, 10 erovel
there. Night dragged after night, but
nary day shone over the land. A lighted
loren could not be seen at arm'S-len9th
The ashes fell softly an silently, till build
ings crashed down headlong with their
weight. None gave help. Tigers were
in the churches, an ions entered house
doors in search of companionship an pro-
lection. Hundreds of folks committed
suicide in their madness, an hundreds
more became simple for life. Mems faces
were blistered by the hot winds; the paint
fell from the statues the crash Of falling
roofs, an the faint light ofburning houses,
doubled the horror of darkness. Such a
time as that was never seen on airth since
the plague of Egypt, I guess!
But Of course the most awful work
was round the Gulf Of Fonseca. The
water rose in waves twenty feet high,
dashed over the Estero, an swept off the
towns ofPlaya Grande an Nagascolo slick
as a prairie-fire. Scarce a soul escaped
