The enterprise Of journalists re-
Gently, in preparing obituaries,
has furnished a theme for no lit
tie fun III some quarters, and has
been the cause of many grave an
ecdotes. 1t is related Of one edi
tor that be had an elaborate

several years since, but having
miS'aid it in the meantime, while
the hero existed. could not find it
when it was needed. and a seri-
Gus amount of labor and research
was entailed in preparing another
article. 1t seems, however, that
the English journalists have ex-
ceeded ours in this matter. In
deed, it is likely that the fate of a
British ohituarist may include
the necessity OF preparing his own
epitaph before that Of many q
notahiIity, whom he has obitua-
rized, is published. This is said
to have been the case with a hi

SANTANA.

What a variety of talk we
see in the papers about this
little what You may call 'em.
One paper calls it a bay, an
other a town. another an island
and still another a section OF
an island. Now we have re-
freshed our geographical knOwl-
edge by examining the map
and find that there is a fine bay
of that name in eastern Hayti.
Some papers say the United
States has bought the town OF
SANTANA, and some IA little tand
adjoining rs IA naval sta ton
others say thai she has leased
for fifty years, SANTANA and
25,000 square miles adjoining
which would include tOur-fiths
OF Hayti itself.
We judge from all the rn-
mors about, that the United
States is seeking a good ex-
cuse to conquer the whole
island. The manly way would
be by far the best, which would
be, to take possession without
any excuse whatever. We
think this measure would bt
quite polite, provided The is.
land were kept solely as a de.
tendency AND just - long a.
we desired. Let it nevei
