Recovery OF A PRODIGAL SOMA few
days ago, an unfortunate young man, who had
seen better days, but had yielded to the ruinous
influence of idleness and drink, fell into the
hands of the police, and was carried to the Up
town guard house. As is usually done on such
occasions, he was searched, aud the articles,
knife, pocket-book, watch, &C., found In his
possession were taken In charge by the officers,
to be safely kept until he should be released.
That night stranger, an old gray-headed gen.
tlcmaD, well dressed. and evidently well to do
In the world, had occasion to call at the guard
house to look after some property which be
had lost While he was there one of the DO
lice officers was amusing himself rummaeing
over the miscellaneous articles which had been
taken from the prisoners, and were huddled
together in a drawer. The stranger suddenly
interrupted him, aud seizing one of the watch
es, in a very excited manner, said: This
watch belongs to my son, who ran away from
home five years ago, and of whom have been
able to obtain no trace since. Will you let me
see the nan who brought 1t here? How

The man was brought out, and proved to Be
the strangers long-lost son. There was great
ioy, mingled with great sorrow. The father
paid his sons fine, and carried him OF to take

ANNEXATION OF ST.. DOMINGO TO THE
UNITED STATES The recent departure
Of several United States yessels-of-war
for the West Indies is creating no little
speculation. The New York World
says:
In day or t~o St. Domingo will
doubtless be occupied by United States
troops. The sailing of the man-of-war
Albany for that place on Wednesday
has created intense excitement among
the Cubans and sympathizcrs with the
Spanish cause in this city. BY the Gu
bans the fact is accepted as an indica-
ton Of definite policy of the United
States Government in favor of the revo-
luton. The Spaniards in the city and
their sylnpathizcrs construe the matter
in another way, bat are in doubt as to
the exact meaning Of the movement
They would like TO connsider it move
ment designed to aid in SURPRISING the
rebellion, but, knowing the American
sentiment on the subject so well as they
do, they arc much III doubt as to wheth-
er it means friendship or hostility to the
Spanish Government.
The New York SIN says:
Unless our Information is greatly in
error, the extensive additions just made
and still making to our active naval
forces arc not intended to fight either
Spain or England, bat simply to keep
guard over the annexation of the Dom
mican Republic to the United States.
Owe understand that the conditions
ofanncxation have been fully agreed
upon between Gen. Ba5cocll, a conf
dental officer of Gen. Grants staff, act
ins on the part Of the President, and the
Authorities Of St. Domingo. The treaty,
whose terms arc similar to those of the
annexation of Texas, is to be laid before
the Senate on the opening of Congress,
and, as all the members of the Domin-
lean government and all the leading
noa among their people are anxious for
the ratification and consummation of the
measure, il is not expected that any con-
siderable time will elapse before tho
senate approves the acquisition and au-
thorizes the Executive to complete It,
The numerous Ships of war that are now
leaving for the West Indies are sent
there at the request of President Baez
and his advisers. When the stars and
stripes come to be raised in Dominica,
one or more Of these mcn-of-war will be
found in each Of the principal seaports-
and small force Of the United State,
marines or infantry will be landed to oc-
cupy the forts and render the transfer
secure and peaceful. There is no dan
ger Of any real trouble; but the revo-
Iu.ionary faction under Carbral, though
impatient to influence or resist the
action of the Dominican people,
would be very likely, if no precautions
were taken, to make the annexation of
the republic the occasion Of seditious
manifestations.

very quietly, all the sasacjous are buy

500 per cent. or more. In three years
from this time the rise will have been as
great There is no business in the world

then, young men, and buy lands. Turn
your attention to farming, and abandon
