President Grant, last week, sent in
a message to the Senate upon the sub.
ject Of the treaty for the annexation
of the Republic of Dominica. The
President produces very strong argu
ments in behalf of his policy in favor
of the annexation of that country.
President Grant would have the treaty
specify that the obligations of the
government for the purchase, shall not
exceed 81 5000 He feels,an unusual
anxiety for the ratification of the treaty,
believing it will rebound greatly to the
glory of the two countries interested,
80 civilization, and to the extirpation
of the institution of slavery. He as
serts 10 his message the important
Ysinciple that hereafter no territory on
this continent ehall be regarded or
subject to a European power. The
government of San Domingo has vol
UNFAIRLY sought the annexation Mum
bering less than 10000 people, yet it
is one of the richest territories under
the sun capable of supporting pop
ulation of l0,000.0 900 of people in
luxury. The present population of the
Island are not capable of maintaining
themselves in their present condition,
and must look for outside support.
The President claims to have it from
reliable authority that a European
power stands ready to pay 100000
for the possession ofSamana Bay alone,
and with what grace can we prevent
foreign power from attempting to Sc
cure the prize. The acquis ition of St
Domingo is desirable because of its
geographical position. 1t commands
the entrance to the Caribbean Sea
and the Isthmus transit Of commerce.
1t possesses the riches: soil, best and
most capacious, harbors, most salubricus
climate, and the''most valuable products
Of the forest, mine, and soil of the
West India Islands. It's possession by
us will, in few years, build up coast
wise commerce of imme nse magnitude,
which will so far toward restoring to
us our lost merchant marine
In case Of foreign war, it will give
us command of all the Islands referred
to, and thus prevent an enemy from
ever again possessing himself of a
rendezvous upon our very coast At
present, our coast trade between the
States bordering on the Atlantic and
those bordering on the Gulf of Mex
leo is cut in two by the Bahamas and
the Antilles.
The possession Of Domingo will
open a large market for the products
Of the Northern farm and manfact-
cries, and the production ofarticles on
on the island will cut off more than
800, 100000 Of our annual imports
The President has certainly made out
a strong case in favor of annexation,
and We are clearly of the opinion that
the Senate can not satisfy the country
except BY ratifying the treaty.

INDIAN COMMISSIONER PARK Err
tells Congress there are in the United
States 37S, 577 Indians. He represents
that all the tribes are friendly disposed
except part of the Blackfeet, Bloods
aud Piegans, in Montana part of
the Sioux, in Dakato and portions of
the Southern Cheyennes, Arapahoes,
Kiowas, Camanehes, and Apache, and
these constitute a large portion of the
whole number. In Wisconsin there
are of Chippewas, Ottowas and Potta-
watomies 5,693. Winnebagoes 1000,
Menominees 1900, Oneidas 1,216,
Stock bridges 400, a total of 9,811.
The Commissioner says that notwith-
standing the large additions received
by our acquisition of Texas, New Mex.
leo, California and Alaska, the present
Indian population does not exceed that
of 1915, which shows how rapidly
these people are fading away. The
decline of these tribes which have
adopted the habits and customs of
civilized life. and who have become
Christianized, is slow, but it is regular

now q ssan punI.ned Hl. Som.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. Jan. 81
Last evening, about five o'clock, an ex-
citing scene was witnessed near the en-
trance to the harbor. A father had often
forbidden his boy, about nine years OF
age, from going upon the dock, fearful
that the little one would by accident be
drowned. Last evening, upon returning
home, he found that the boy had diso
beyed bis order, and was playing with
other children near the rivers edge.
The father hsstened to the spot, and,
somewhat excited, grasped the boy by
the shoulder, and despite his cries, tied
the end of rope about his waist and
soused him in the cold water As he was
drawing the boy up the rope loosened,
and the little fellow, still struggling to
gst the water out of his mouth, fell back
and sank.
The excitement OF the father was now
most earnest. He fairly yelled in agony,
and would have jumped into the river
himself had not the bystsnders sntici-
uated his intention and prevented him.
The boy came to the surface once and
sank again, camo up and was about to
sink for the last time, when brave sailor
jumped from the dock and caught him by
the hair.
When the boy was taken out he was to
all appearances lifeless, but the father
casped the inanimate form in his arms,
hugged it close to his breast, and kissed
the wet lips over and over again, while
the tears fairly flowed in streams down
the mans cheeks, and his sobs could be
heard by ell. Carrying the boy, and be-
slowing endearing caresses as he went
along, to the nearest house. the little fell
low was soon brought to his senses, and
the delight of the parent knew no bounds.
He kissed and embraced the boy and
the sailor and the physician over and
over again, and when the boy was able to
walk, still carried him in his arms to his
home, alternately crying and laughing,
so great was his joy.

The Last Act of the "Diamond Wed.
ding"

Who does not remember the great
" diamond wedding" which took place
some ten years ago in New York, in
which Senior 0viedo, wealthy Cuban,
aud the beautiful Miss Bartlett were the
principals2 Poets sang of the charms of
the bride and the costliness of her trous-
sesu, with its miraculous laces, silks and
diamonds. The gorgeous wedding cere-
mouy at St Patrick's Cathedral, the gos-
sip about the affair, the display of the
brides presents and trousseau, and the
fabulous wealth of the dark, ill-favored,
little, middle aged Cuban, furnished
matter for the scribbling OF an army Of ex-
ulting" Jenkinses," thirsting for further
particulars" The departure ofthe moody
bridegroom and his lovely bride (whs
borF, by the way, remarkable resem-
blancs to the Empress of Frsnce) to the
pslatial mansion on one of the Cuban
estates, left all New York is despair.
There, secluded and almost immured
from all eyes, like an Eastern sultans,
surrouBded by every luxury wealth could
give, this fair young American has spent
ten years of her life with an irascible,
Jealous and fond apanisFd, who has at

Romantic Story of n Remarkable
Piece of Auman Hair.

Piece of Auman Hafr.
From the New York SUM-
A magnificent piece Of human hair
the largest, finest and most valuable IL
Americas now hanging in the window
of Thompson q Co., in Canal street. near
Broadway. II is of dark brown hue,
soft as silk, and weighs seven ounces,
and is sixty-four inches in length-fve
feet four inches Ga medium-siZed
woman this would sweep the floor. The
longest piece of hair on record, exhibited
at the London Exposition of 1851, be-
louged to Leon Pellery, of Paris, and
was seventy-two inches in length. The
story of this one that measured sixty
four inches is rather romantic. II came
from the head of Swsbian peasant girl
who had two suitors for her hand, one q
poor farm hand who earned ak kreutzers
day, and the other o rich miller. The
miller owned the cottage in which the
Swabian girl and her widowed mother
lived, eud being Rs selfish and unscrupu.
lous ss he was wealthy, threatened to
drive his tenants out of their home unless
his suit was successful. although they had
already paid part of the price demanded
for the cottage, and we're saving and
working to pay the remainder. In this
emergency, q travelling hair merchant
appeared in the village, and sooner than
marry the wealthy miller, or, on the other
hand, to have her agsd mother driven
from house and home, she determined
upon the sacrifice of her beautiful hair.
II was taken to the Leipsic annual fair /;
sold there for $l75 to an American
dealer, and from his hands found it's way
to the present owners. 1t is valued be-
tween $3.50 and $500.

From the Richmond Enquirer.l
A young lady of our acquaintan ce
took it into her head the other day that
she was fine cook, and particularly apt
at making coffee; and she boasted of her
accomplishment SO far that she present.
ly invited som of her besux to come and
spend the evening. She got out her
French coffee pot, ard her gas stove, aud
her little tea kettle, and soon the kitchen
was in full blast. The first point was.to
boil some water. After the lapse of half
an hour it was suggested that the water
must be boiling. mo-" she said, don't
you see the smoke Issuing from the spout
of the kettle; you must understand that
the water is never boiling until the vapor
ceases to issue from the spout of the kot-
tie. When that stops we will make the
coffee" So the kettle vent on singing
and simmering, and presently the spout
dropped of.
lOne of the gentlemen grew impatient,
and said he knew that the water was
boiled. So it was agreed that he should
pour it on the coffee through the perfor-
ated boles which had communicated with
the departed spout he lifted the kettle,
and kept tlting it further aud further,
bat no water would come out of the ket-
tie. In astonishment he set the vessel on
the floor, and lifted the top when he dis
covered that every particle of the water
had boiled away Of course there was
no coffee.

A chinese Restaurant.
m the San Fraucisco Bulletin.1

From the San Francisco Bulletin.J
The men--the lords of creRtiou-took
possession of the choice seats, and then
the females were allowed to distribute
themselves around like butter on board
ing school slice of bread--occupying
very small space. The females we're
dressed in the hight of Celestial fashion,
wearing rich silk gowns, valuable gold
bracelets, diamond rings and the dainti-
est shoes imaginable. The traditional,
ponderous hair-pin, with bead and gold
decorations, was worn by oil, and the
tossing head and proud bearing showed
their opinion of their one horse banquet
especially of themselves. Scarcely
had the chairs received their burdens
when the bowl-the center OF attraction
was transferred into miniature fishing
pond. Each Chinsmsn seized his silver
hinged chop-sticks and made demon
stration on the bowl, now picking up a
choice morsel, and then losing it through
the dexterity of mischisvous fellow on
the opposite side of the table. In par
taking of the food o little gallantry was
noticeable; the first load on the chop
sticks was consiguei the females, and
they managed to take care Of it. Two
tea urps we're placed on the tables, and
from time to time the males filled their
China cups, and drank themselves or
helped the women. With the exception
that the gathering was little boisterous,
nothing derogstory to the affair could be
said. One moon-eyed damsel became
Jealous of her escort, and as he arose
and leaned forward to assist female
heather at hisright, she silly moved his
chair away. Great was his fall, but be
