THE STATE SAN DOMINGO.

The report comes to us from Washing
ton.-and we suppose it is true,-that
recent negotiations have taken place be-
tween the Government of the Dominion
Republic ard that of the United States,
with the view of the immediate acquisi-
ton of the former by the latter in the
same way that we acquired Texas. 1t
may not be out Of place to state where
this Dominican Republic is, and of
what it is composed. 1t is the eastern
portion of the Island of
Hayti, which lies almost due east of Cuba
The island contains two republics cs-Hayti
and Dominica-and the later embraces
much the larger portion of the territory,
but less than one-forth of the whole
population.
The area of Dominica is about II, 800
square miles, and it has q population Of
perhaps $50, 900, of whom say 20, 900 are
whites, and the others Of African or of
mixed Africans and Of European descent:
The interior is mountainous and covered
with tropical forests, and the plains eX-
tend from the mountains to the coast and
are we'll watered The harbor Of San
Domingo. on the south, and the Bay
Of Samana aIe equal to any IN the " est
Indies. The climate is better than that
of Cuba, and the soil is fertile. The is
land however, has not been, for the last
seyenty-fVe years, cultivated with any
industry, y,-the occupation Of the people
being confined to cattle-raislng and eb-
ony-cutting. The gold and silver and
iron of the mountainshave not beeu min
ed since the Spanish possession.
The imports to the United States for
1868 were valued from Hyti, 3760.00 ::
from San Domingo, $4,000, OF these
the principal articles were raw cotton,
sugar, coffee, dye woods, gum arabic,
hides, and cocoa. San Domingo is divi-
ded into five provinces There is an
army of 10000 troops of all arms, and a
small navy. The language Of the people
is Spanish, and thereligon Roman Catho-
| lie. The government is that of a PresI-
dent, with a congress consisting
of two branches. Hayti and Dom
mica were several times united, but
in 1914 were diyied by revolution. But
state of chronic revolution, and the
Dominicans have long since concluded
that there can be no peace until they
are taken under the flag Of the Unlted
/ States, and now offer the whole repub
| lie
The other part of the island, which is
known as the Republic Of Hayti, con
tains 10, 900 square miles and popula
ton of 600, 600. The natural conditions o
the island might be made productive
but for half century there has been 4;
war between the two parts of the island
or internal wars in each republic, anC
has, consequently, been bat little atten
ton to the cultivation of the soil, o.
any other industrial pursuit The e1
ports TO the United States during thu
last few years have been less than the,
were ten years ago. In considering th'
question of the acquisition OF DomInlc
it is necessary to consider also the probabl
acquisition of Hayti. The one will fol
low the other most unquestionably, an'
the reestablishment of peace would max
the whole island garden of beauty ant
of productIveness.

. Boston has temperance dog. On

= Boston has temperance dog. One
day last week the ANNALS master got
tight, for even in the prohibitory hub
men will indulge too freely in whisky.
The master went out on a regular spree,
with no companion save his faithful dog
Finally, the moment arrived when the
reasonable canine made up his mind that
his master had taken enough of the
''critter. The master was about to en-
ter another drinking saloon. when the dog
caught hold of his coat and pulled him
back. The inebriated biped spoke angri-
" to the sober quadruped and the AMI
nal, with a sad look and a tearin his eye
released hi: hold The man entered tho
saloon followed by the dog. He called
for drink, but had no sooner done so
than the dog raised himself on his hind
feet, and. placing his paws on his master:
breast, made dumb, but eloquent plead
to the man not to drink any more. Thi:
was too much even for the drunken mas
| ter to bear. He clasped the dog around
the neck and kissed him repeatedly, anc
aid not take a drink. That night he at
tended temperance meeting and signet
the pledge.

Printers and papaI0Xes,

A printer is the most curious being liv
ing. lie may have bank and coins,
and not be worth a cent; havo small caps
and have neither wife nor children.
Others may run fast. but lie gets swifter
by setting fast. He may be making
impressions without eloquence; he may
use the lye without offending, and be
telling the truth; while others cannot
stand while they set, he can set standing
and do both at the same time; have to
vse furniture, and yet have no dwelling,
may make and put away pi, and never
see pie, much less eat it during his
life; be a humane being and rat at the
same time; may press great deal and
not ask favor; may handle 4 shooting
iron and know nothing about cannon,
gun or pistol; he may move the lever
that moves the world. and be as far from
mo1ing the globe as hog under mole
hill; spreading sheets without being a
housewife, he may lay his forms on q
bed, and yet be obliged to lay on the
floor; may use a dagger without she'd
ing blood, and from the cath he may
handle stars; he may be ola rolling dis
position, and yet never desire to travel;
be may have a sleeps foot. and not be
deformed; never without case, and yet
knows nothing Of laws or physic; he is
always correcting errors, and be grow
ding worse every day; have embraces,
without having the arms Of girl thrown
around him; have his form locked up and
at the same time be free from jail, watch
house or other coRfne ment; his Office
may have he'll in it. and not be bad
place after all he may be plagued by
devil. aud be Christian Of the best kind;
and what is stranger still, be honest or,
dishonest. rich Or poor, drunk or sober,
Industrious or lazy, he always stands up
to his bQ siness.

How TO KEEP APPLES. How to keep
apples through the winter so as to have
them fresh and sound in the spring and
summer, is a question often discussed,
and seldom answered satisfactorily It
is well known fact that large proper
ton of the fruit stored in our cellars is
lost by decay. This IS doubtless due to
the fact that the apples which the farmer
saves from his orchard for home use. are
generally stored in bulk,in bins, on shelv-
es, or on attic floors When stored in the
cellar, the moisture generated by their
contact soon infects them with decay,
and when stored in the attic, if not froz-
en- outright, they are SO injured by the
effect of unequal temperature as to suf-
fer scarcely less than in the cellar. The
editor of the Germantown Telegraph has
been experimenting in regard to this
matter, and recommends the following
as the best method of preserving apples
yet discovered.
He would have shelves erected in the
cellar expressly for fruit Let them
be about two feet wide and one foot
apart, and as many and as long as de-
sirable. The shelves should be formed
of Stats two inches wide and one iuch
apart, and the fruis laid on single layers.
The tier should have a close board bot
tom to be covered with an INCH of fine
fresh lime, which should be renewed two
or three times during the winter, The
fruit should be frequently sorted over,
and that which EXHIBITS signs Of decay
| removed. In cellar well ventilated he
has had no trouble In preserving winter
apples and pears until late in the sea-
son.
OF course it will be necessary to apply
this method only in the keeping of the
fruit which is desired for late use, and
the quantity to be thus cared for need not
necessary be large The trouble attend
ing the process is represented az being
comparatively little-certainly notienough
to counterbalanee the pleasure derived
from tie use of the fruit-Utica Herald,
