SAN DOMINGO.
Letter from GerrIt Smith.

The Hon. Gerrit Smith has addressed letter
to the Hon. j. G. Churchill Member of Con-
gress from the Twenty-second district of New
York, - which he dissents from President
Grants expressed opinions in regard to San
Domingo. After acknowledging the Presidents
strong common sense his patriotic services and
his impartial benevolence toward men of all
races, Mr.. Smith claims that there is one objec-
ton to the annexation of San Domingo which
no arguments can overcome and which all the
advantages of the measure cannot overcome.
This objection is that ito take from one zone
to add 10 another, and especially from the tor
rid TO add to temperate zone, is war upon
nature" The tropics belong to the sable
races of men; if the laws of nature had full sway
there would be a belt of black humanity all
around the earth. If the United States take
possession of che West India Islands, the blacks
necessarily lose their opportunity for self-gov-
ernment and they will sink info 'hewers OF
wood and drawers of water" Mr.. Smith does
not object, he says, to the blending of the races,
so far as they naturally and gradually come to-
gether, but one race should not supplant the
other In his own home. The weakness of small
nations has always been the plea on which
strong nations have extended their protection
over them. president Grant intends no ill, but
from the day when his scheme shall begin to 90
into effect, the people of San Domingo will be
whitening away before the ambitious and greedy
AnglO-eaXon."

THE GREAT STORM,
Che Longest Voyage Between PhiIadelphia
md BostOn-A Narrow Escape.

The LOBRest Voyage Between Philadelphia
and BostOn-A Narrow Escape.
The schooner James Ii. Moore sailed from
Philadelphia for Boston on the 18th of Novem-
Der, and made the run to Vineyard Sound in
thirty hours; but such was the weather that she
was unable to anchor off Uyannis before the
18th of December. She sailed on the 14th, but
was compelled to drop anchor in three fathoms
off Chatham that evening. On the morning, of
the 18th a gale parted the schooner's chains,
and she was blown 420 miles out to sea; for six
consecutive days hurricane swept the
sea, and the schooner lost and split sails
and had her galley smashed; lost rudder
head, and began to leak at the rate of six thou
sand strokes an hour. The captain was obliged
to keep the pumps going night and day to keep
her from sinking. December %, lat. 40 deg. 20
miD., long 68 deg, at A. NJ. signalled q mail
steamship, which bore down upon the schooner,
but paid no heed TO her, even though she was in
q sinking condition. On the 25tn, lat 81 deg,
long. 73 deg. 30 min, the schooner was spoken
by the schooner Dauntless from Demerara for
New York, who lay by her for % hours, but
could render no assistance, as n tremendous sea
was running. On the 2Sth, off Fire Island, was
taken in tow by the pilot boat Fannie, and
towed to New York.
The brig s. V. Nichols, which arrived at this
port yesterday from Matanzas, encountered
fearful storms, with hail and snow, after passing
Hatteras. On Christmas day, William Schloel
a native of Bremen, slipped from the icy deck
and was drowned.-N. i. Sun to-day.

A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
Boy Fnils HeadfOre most Into n Well Fifty
Feet Deep and Is Uninjured.

"A a
Feet Deep and Is Uninjured.
The Princeton Qll.) Republican of the 22d
says
On Thursday last five-year old boy, belong
ing to Swedish gentleman named Nelson,
undertook to investigate the mysteries of an old
well some fifty-five feet in depth, or, at least,
some of the trappings with which the well was
covered, and, finding a large hole in one of the
boards, concluded to take a peep below the
scenes Inserting his head into the hole and
looking about its surroundings, he slipped
through so far that he was unable to get back
again.
However, he made vigorous efforts to recover
his usual perpendicular condition, screamed
like q scared Indian and SO badly frightened
the children playing with him that they scam
pered away into the house. Tugging and work
ing for dear life, he gradually became exhausted,
began to lose his hold on the board, and at last
his feet assumed an upright position in the air,
and down he dropped into the well, falling
about fifty feet before striking water. 1t was a
fearful plunge, and yet, strange to say, he was
not harmed in the least. The well was not a
large one, and his escape from instant death
seems 10 be unaccountable. The theory is, that
he not only escaped touching the walls but that
somehow in the fall he turned partially round,
and when he struck the water, which was about
five feet deep he came up head foremost.
The little fellow, too, must have had some
presence of mind, for no sooner had he recov-
cred from the shock of the fall than he grabbed
hold of the chnking In the side of the well, and
saved himself from a watery grave. By this
time the frightened children had alarmed the
parents in the house, and, as soon as possible
the we'll bucket was lowered, and a Mr.. Mosher
went down after the boy. He found him cling
ing to the side OF the well, helped him into the
bucket, and he was then drawn up.

BURNED TO DEATH.
hooking Catastrophe In New Jersey.

On Christmas eve, Mr.. Thomas Vaudeville
son of Mr.. Jacob Vaudeville, a wealthy farmer
residing al Lower Pompton, Morris county, NJ
j., went with his wife to visit his father-u law
Mr.. Schuyler, living between Bloomingdale and
Pompton. Having occasion to be ont late that
night at q rattle, young Vaudeville told his wife
that he would sleep with his brother-in-law in
an out building where room was nicely fitted
up, and which building was connected with the
barn and sheds of the farm. They retired to
bed about midnight, but young Schuyler awak-
ing about A. Nj. found the room full of smoAe
and awoke Vaudeville. After vainly endeavor-
ing to put out the flames, the young men pre-
pared TO escape.
The room being in the second story, Mande-
vile assisted Schuyler in escaping from the
window, by holding a sheet down which he
slid, and then urned back into the room while
Schuyler aroused the family. On returning the
room was seen to be in flames, and Vaudeville
could not be found Some eighteen horses we're
removed from the stable, but eight cows, with
large lot of hay, grain, and implements, were
destroyed. On the burning out of the fire, a
few bones and the teeth of young Vaudeville
were found in the ashes, and 1t is supposed that
instead of following Schuyler through the win
dow, he attempted to leave by the stairway and
was suffocated. Vaudeville was young man
of considerable means and Was universally es-
teemed.

fection and sincerity, without wishing to keep
its neighbor in the leading strings. She must
recognize that there are other civilized nations
besides herself, and that all peoples taken In
their totality alone represent the phenomenon
of the spirit OF humanity.
''Iou clothe yourself after the manner of the
prophets of old: but these ancients cried ont to
the face of their people. No nation falls into
such disgrace and humiliation without being
itself guilty. To say this was your duty; that
is the way to make good the past; the way to
please the French people with itself and with us.
For We do not fail to recognize even now that
from the French people went out, with sacrifices
unequalled, much that has been elevating and
emancipating for the human race. We wished
to live in peace with France; but the demon of
dominion, of vanity, of pre-. eminence over all
others-which you still cherieh-called forth the
war, brought death and devastation over your
land, and to rs, in the midst of victory, sadness
for we have lost thousands of our brothers in the
triumph and see the peace ul labors of mind and
hand destroyed.
ITO you, as author, we give an especial fact
for your consideration. The war on your side
is songlese. Excepting q few cynical street
ballads your soldiers have no song. At first
they wiehedto adopt the 'Marseillaise, but they
must soon have felt it became lie and re-
proach. On your side no song could arise, be-
cause every ethical impulse was wanting. But
with our army, in camp and on the march, there
is the genius of song, in gladness, in confidence
in the good right, in wrath against corruption,
in the fervor of reconciliation. Give heed to
this phenomenon. You will understand it.
"We, as author, have not the mission to stir
up the conflict 1t is ours to labor for the unity
of the human soul in its various phenomenal
FORMS to cultivate knowledge and human love-
When the sword is sheathed-and all hearts

calling to again bring about, as far as it is in
our power, unity and the peaceful mutual ad-
vancement of intellectual culture.
II do not know whether you will hear my
words, or If you wish to hear them; but /, as an
individual, would give testimony of that which
Germany desires and what you and your coun-
trymen should strive for.

INTERESTING PHENOMENA.
Earthquakes at sunday Islands.

correspondent OF the Auckland Herald says:
Through the kindness of Captain Wilson
am enabled to send to you, for toe information
of the public, intelligence of some very inte-
resting phenomena that have just been wit
messed in these seas-the fresh existence, in
active operation, of twoyolcanic islands thrown
in the harbor OF the Sunday Islands. Some
severe shocks of earthquakes were felt week
previous to the appearance of the first volcano,
enveloping all in a chaos of confusion; one
shock dividing the island most effectually, and
sending up with immense force from the centre
of the harbor continuous admixture of stones,
mud, charred wood, ETC., to height of about
1000 feet. These submarine disturbances of
mother earth have, of course, thrown the
Sunday Islanders into great adversely, and one
family of whites (American), found there by
Captain Wilson, would most likely have perished
but for his timely assistance"

GENERAL FAIDHERBE.

The Comman nder-in-Chle of the French ARMY
of the North.
Louis Leon Cesar Faidherbe was born at
Lille on the Sd of June, 1918. He was edu-
Gated at the college in that place. entered the
Polytechnic School in 1888, then went on to the
military school at Metz, which he left in 1912
with lieutenants commission ia the LIST Regi-
ment of Engineers. He served first in Algeria
where be remained throughout 1874 and lS45
Having obtained the rank of captain, he sailed,
in 1848, for La Guadaoupe, where he acquired
much colonial experience, aud became Injured
to life in the tropics.
Having failed in obtaining an appointment at
Senegal he returned to Algeria III 1850, where
he constructed the outlying fort of Bou-Saada,
took part in the campaign of Kabylia, under
General Saint Armand, and also in the eXpedi-
tion of General Bosquet to the Algerian High
lands. The services he performed at the time
of the disaster which then occurred were re-
warded by the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
At the end of that year--1S52-he was, at his
reiterated request, sent to Senegal. Here he
soon gave proofs of remarkable administrative
ability, and after two years residence showed
such knowledge of the needs, the dangers, the
economy, and the practical policy of the colony
that III 1854 he was made Governor of the
French possessions in Senegal. d. Faidherbe
now devoted himself to the fulflment of the
task be had SO long wished TO take in hand-the
thorough renovation OF the colony.
He carried on q successful warfare with the
Moors of FurZa, but his principal warlike
achievement was the struggle he carried on for
some time and over great extent Of territory,
with the prophet Ell Hadji-Omar who had con
ceived the idea of founding vast Mu5su,nan
empire in Central Africa, and driving out all
foreign ipruders. He compelled this apostle
of Islam to submit in 1860, and left Senegal to
command the subdivision of Sidi-bel-Abbes,
having been made Lieutenant Colonel OF En-
gineers in 1855, and Colonel in 1853. But his
absence was soon felt in this colony; his policy
was not maintained his instructions were
neglected. and every thing retrograded
On the Goth of May, 1868, VI. Faidherbe,
raised to the rank of Brigadier- General, re-
sumed the reins of government in Senegal.
Two years after, his health requiring his return
to less murderous climate, he took the highest
command in the subdivision of Bone. NJ. Faid-
herbe has written much on the manners lam
guage, and history of the African nations, as
well as on the topography, geology, and arch
zoology of the districts they inhabit He is a
member of the Geographical Societies OF Paris,
London, and Berlin.

ALL FOR HAIR.

Terrific Encounter Between Two Females.
From the Hil,cdukee WiocOBsin.
deadly feud of long standing between two
young and most lovely and accomplished ladies
of this city unhappily eliminated last evening
in terrible encounter.
The melancholy affair seems to have origl-
mated in a jealousy which sprung up between
the combatants concerning the attentions of n
young gentleman, who is addicted to the highly
improper practice of dispensing his affections
Unfortunately, and loves not wisely but too
muchly. At first the fair rivals developed q
sort of GOODNESS in their demeanor to one au-
other, which gradually deepened into a positive
frigidity of feeling. Meanwhile the tickle young
gentleman continued to lFG his hair in the
middle and smile on either side With an air that
was cbildlike and bland.
The rivalry of the damses grew more intense
until they were accustomed to make faces and
rudely jostle against one another # they met in
the street. The hostility of feeling gradually
enlisted the sympathies OF friends of the respec-
tive parties, and they went abroad in bevies of
half dozen or less. Whenever these antago-
nistic forces came in contact, all would make
faces, tie opposing platoons would refuse to
give an inch of the walk, and some of the spi-
rited young ladies would remark:-"oh, my,
what perfect fright of a hat! !" That's her
mothers old brown silk done over" and other
incendiary expressions. The actual combat was
one of the most terrific ever Witnessed.
Their respective retainers gathered around
and mingled their screams of exultaton or de-
rision as the chances of victory seemed to vary.
Locks of luxuriant hair bestrewed the pave,
with strips of ribbons, mobair bundles of
sbavipgs, and other debris. A section of panier
and the entire stuffing of a chignon we're picked
up after the conflict. The fight finally ended
in the total discontinue of one of the damsels,
and the other lovely warrioress marched gaily
off with her friends. having won undisputed
right to the whole of the sidewalk. Her triumph
was sbort-lved, however, as a warrant was
speedily issued for the victor on the charge of
assault and battery, most unromantic appli-
cation of lady's name, to be sure. The case,
however, is not to be a case, legally speaking.
An unknown amount of greenbacks have plas-
tered over and Modified the bruises and internal
wounds of the vanquished party-all TO keep the
modest victors name out of the papers

correspondent at Frankfort of the n. Y.
EUening FOSt sends that journal translation of
a letter from Auerbach, the distinguished Ger

writer says:-
''We wish that the Frenchknation, live their
