SANTANA BAY.

AN ENORMOUS SPECULATION IN LAND
NO AMERICAN LIVE ON.-A Neaos repor-
ter had talk on Saturday with three
years resident of Samana. He does not give
a rose-colored review of the healthiness Of
the climate or of the nature and character
of the inhabitants. He says the population
of the peninsula is not over 5000 souls
With few exceptions, they are all thriftless,
idle negroes, or poor, dissipated, reckless
Spaniards. No ordinary white emigrant can
live in Samana, as the ground is low and
marshy, and therefore pregnant with malarl-
Gus fevers. Revolutions and sectional con-
teptions are epidemi:, and protection to all
peacefully disposed citizens is almost impos,,
sible It's true that the mineral wealth OF
the country is great, but lying as it does In
land that has no communication whatever
with the coast it is almost valueless.
He thinks the cost Of producing the tropi-
cal staples will outweigh the profits arising
therefrom. In regard 10 the absolute con-
ditions of the treaty, he has no hesitation In
saying it was framed for the purpose of at
ter consideration for the Administration to
carry out practically, the old scheme OF an
nexation.
Baez, the President of Dominica, has but
three months yet to serve as the ruler OF the
Republic, at the end of which time, knowing
the character of the masses, the usual reyo-
luton and blood letting win commence, Ba-
ez, in the mean time pocketing allthe money
for the purchase.
The company have so far refused to give
to the public the text or substance of the
treaty. On the evening of the 9th of Janu-
ary, the night of the departure Of the Com
missioners from Santo Domingo, the treaty
was published in one Of the Dominican pa
psrs, and re-published here yesterday. The
powers are absolute, and no corporation 9th
er than the famous Fast India Company had
such boundless and indisputable authority.
In an interview yesterday with Burton S.
Harrison, one of the commissioners, that
gentleman said the company would be or
ganized on Monday, and stock would be i'm
mediately issued. This is the whole amount
of the speculation. The stock will be sold,
and there is every intention to create fu-
rore, so that it will go at high prices.

that these are unworthy and rude, if not
gross, for the most part, We will not deny.
BY making women our partial partners, our
associates on occasion, we admit our inferi-
ority and our fear lest they should know Of
us what we know of ourselves. We have
not advanced so far beyond baronial barba-
rism and Eastern ipdulgences as VIC would
fain believe, while we hold our wives and
our daughters in the prison of ignorance
and the seraglios Of restraint.
1t is not consideration for women that in
duccs us to keep them in the border land of
acquaintance with our real lives. 1t is
consideration for ourselves; it. is supreme
sclfshncss; it is engrossing egotism. We
shrink from the thought that the gentler
and purer beings who love US, and whom we
lovc-when we have naught else to do
should have perfect understanding, clear
revelation Of what we are. 1t is an article
of our social creed that they prefer pleasant
illusions to disagreeable facts. This is not
without its verify; but it evinces the false
education of women, and one of their
weaknesses that should be removed
In this age we live, or ought to live above
every thing else, for truth. Whatever leads
thereto, should be followed, though the fol-
lowing dispel every deception which, from
the first, has been our most grateful food.
The men, are precious few who would be
willing their lives should be unrolled pano-
rama-likc before their nearest and dearest
friends. The things that they are vain of,
even to boasting. they wouldhide from their
wives or mothers, at imminent peril to them
selves. The worship most of us receive is
species of sentimental fetishism offered un-
der the delusion that the idol is far more
than it seems; that it possesses powers and
influences linking it to the divine. Trans
parent as we may be to our own sex: we art
eopaa to the opposite. Genuine to eeh
one, we are shams to the other, and We ex-
ercise constant care that we shall continue
such. In respect, esteem, admiration, and
affection, weare actually obtaners of goods
by false prctenccs, and are amcnablc to
spiritual law which we always eyadc. Is it
fattcring to our manhood, to our sense OF
integrity. to know that to those we reverence
most we are miserable fctons and animated
lies.-JUNIUs HENRI BROwN.

"Baby Farming

Convincing evidence of revolving crime,
or rather a series of crimes, has recently been
discovered in Naples, involving the whole
sale murder of innocent babes by a process
which taxes the credulity of human nature.
The person charged with these crimes is Il
woman named Rose PORE, who has occupied
unpretentious quarters only three doors
from the little chapel of San Severe, on one
of the most frequented streets of Naples.
The attention of the police was first attrac-
ted by the frequent appearance in the Nea-
politan journals of an advertisement the
purport of which was that persons wishing
to relinquish their claims upon infants could
find home for them by the payment of GER
tain sum to Rose Porro. Two policemen
were assigned recently to investigate the
subject, and the result of their vigilance
was the discovery thatan extraordinary mum.
ber of babies were brought to these apart
ments, and that they were rarely if ever
brought away. A close search through eye
rv part of the house was instituted, and in
various rooms infants were found sprawlins
about the bare floors, crying from cold and
hunger. The cellar was also searched, and
here the corpses Of five children were found,
and beneath the tiles Of the floor were three
other bodies. The house was taken posses
sion of by the police, who will closely in
spect the walls to find out the full extent of
these grievous infanticidGs. The keeper Of
the house is described as strong, beautiful
and cunning woman in appearance, with an
air of innocence, that would deceive the

The Woman Suffrage Convention whic

The Woman Suffrage Convention which
opened in Washington on Thursday was very
poorly attended. The only gentleman who
took any part in the proceedings was h. W.
Davis Of PhiladclI hia, who brought forward
a plan FOR 4 national woman's paper, on the
basis Of stock company, to be chartered by
Congress, he capital to be 100000. In
opening, Miss Anthony gave her views Of
the claims of woman to the franchise, the
history Of the cause in Kansas, and the SUI
iperior claim the women have over the ne
grocs. \ series OF resolutions were pre-
sentcd by Mrs. Stanton, declaring, among
other things, that so long as women are de-
nicd the right of suffrage, they are political
ly, civilly and socially enslaved. and that i
is the duty Of Congress. BY appropriate legis-
lation, to protect women in the exercise of

there will still be plenty Of rubber to supply

POSTAL CARDS IN ENGLAND.-When the
Postmaster General informed us of the new
privilege by which We could communicate
with our friends at cost Of one-half penny,
instead of a penny, we were not indisposed
to rejoice that we could get anything at half
price. The rejoicings were considerably
moderated when wewere told that our commu-
nications must be written on an open card,
the observed of all observers. 1t did not
require conjuror to tell us that halfpanny
post cards would be liable to scandalous
abuse, and that the new method of convey
ing messages would be means of dissemina-
ting abominable libels. We vcntured to point
out this at the very commencement, and our
words have been more than verified. From
that day to this we have heard of nothing
but libels. Impertincnt shop girls in the
Burlington arcade have gratutiously insult
ed ladies of title, and irritable gentlemen
like Mr. Iampden, with "a fad" concerning
the rotundity of the earth, have used post
cards Cor the worst purposes. Every mis-
cradle little tradesman who owes 4 grudge,
and every scoundrel WHO dare not say OPEN
ly what he thinks, flies TO the halfpenny
post card to crafty mean feeling If paltry
revenge. Post cards having been tried,
therefore, for some considerable time, and
having been proved to be extremely danger
Gus weapons, it becomes question for the
Postmaster General to decide how long he
will retain them as an authorized means of
communication.
For private purposes they are useless

keepers use them for ordering coal and can

not above employing them for the purposes
Of importantly. For summoning meetings

SAW MILL ACCIDENT.-Mr. John
Thomas steam saw mill, situated seven
miles North west of Plymouth, was
damaged about $500 worth last Saturday.
Mr.. Thomas, brother OF the proprietor,
who is not an engineer, undertook in the
momentary absence CT the engineer, to
run the mlil-and he did After the saw
had cut to the end of log he undertook
to gig it back, when it ran a little too
fast for Mr.. Thomas idea of propriety, 81
he thought he would cut off a part of
the steam but instead of doing so, he put
on more-became confused set the ma
chine to running at such rapid rate that
it burst its wheel and scattered the frag-
ments in every direction. -Four men
were standing close to the engine at the
time. One of them, who was smoking
had his cigar knocked out of his mouth
another had his hat taken from his
head, and another thinks a large piece of
the iron passed between his legs. For
tunately-miracuously-no one was serious
ly hurt.
Mr.. Thomas took the broken portion of
his mill to Fort Wayne, on Tuesday, for
repairs He thinks he will have his mill
running again in about two weeks.
