Tho new constitution Of Hsyti pro.

ton or war, foreigners will be treated ex.
actly as native Haytens are, that 10 tho
government will not reimburse them for
any property they may lose or have be-.
stroyed during the periods or events al.
luded to. In addition the clause of the
old constitution is still in force, which
prevents any white man from even &C.

LIght.HOnses.

Most OF tho lighthouses in the .. S.
are on barren, d0solate, and exposed
points OF the coast. In some Of them
the keepers can not communicate at all
with the shore during the winter
months, and in such cases supplies OF
oil kinds for the lights and the keepers
must be accumulated beforehand. In
many fresh water for the keeper and
his family has to be caught in cisterns
and there is IN official circular to light
keepers, telling them how to avoid the
poisonous effect OF the water dripping
from the leads OF the lighthouses by
putting powdered chalk into the els.
tern, and occasionally stirring it. In
many places it has been found that cat
tie, attracted to the light at night, de.
stroyed the strong.rooted grass which
holds down sand dunes, and thus ex-
posed the lighthouse itself to destruc-
ton and in such cases considerable
area OF land must be fenced in TO ex.
clude these beasts. On stormy nights
sea.fowl are apt to dash themselves
against the lantern glasseS, blinded
probably by the glare of the lights,
and all light-keepers are specially
warned in their printed instructions to
be on the watch for such an accident,
and extra panes Of glass, fixed in
frames, are always in readiness in every
lighthouse, to substitute for those
which may thus be broken.

Fashion Notes.

It is whispered that thespring season
will bring many changes in ladies'
dress. The milliners and dreSsmakers
seem determined TO take revenge upon
the forced economy Of "panic times"
We hear that the graceful polonaise
is now. really doomed to extinction.
It's admirers will not, however, part
with II readily.
The polonaise is to be replaced by q
corsage having long points in front and
a pleated busque at the back, accom-.
panied by rather ugly shaped over.
skirt. The oyerskirt Is 10 be open in
front, pleated at the back in full straight
pleats, and without the usual pouf.
Tho new style OF walking skirt is To
be worn rather short which, consider.
ing the state OF our streets, is very
fortunate. It is Aounced up the front,
each founce being finished by . bow
or buckle, and one very wide aounce at
the back.
Ugliness has never SO abounded in
calico patterns as at present. Many Of
these resemble the blue and white check
aprons worn by butchers, Others are
printed in plaid patterns. About thirty.
ave cents a yards the usual price for
new goods.
Let ladies beware Of bright blues and
pinks. They don't wash as q rule.
Brown and violet are the most durable
eolors.
White silk richly trimmed or striped
with various shades OF velvet still holds
sway, and forms beautiful contrasts.
There are not many great changes in
the mode OF dressing the hair. There
is no rule as 10 whether II shall be worn
high or low, and people generally suit
their methods TO the shape Of their
faces,
ourls arc again reinstated. They
were always graceful, but only suited
to certain styles Of beauty.

The Shipping of seamen.

The present excellent shipping law
has cured many evils clustering around
this part Of the sailors life, tho causes
OF which the public scarcely under.
stands, and which ship.owners and cap
tains could do much to preyentby their
own efforts did they choose. Sailors
are gregarious; they haunt certain not
very reputable parts OF the town, where
they are apt to spend their savings rap
idly, and then they must go to sea
again. When q sailor wants ship be

but to shipping master, anagent who
undertakes to secure n crew for the ship
without trouble to the owner or cap.
tain. It is the shipping master who
engages the seamen, selects them, pays
them their advance" and holds them
in hand until the ship is ready to sail.
1t is the sailor boarding-house keeper
oftenest who deals with the shipping
master, supplies him with men, and re.
ceiyes the greater part OF the advance
money. 0ftenest the owner mover sees
the crew on whom depends in a large
measure the safety OF his ship: and the
Captain does not see them until he
comes on board as the lines are cast of.
Suppose they come aboard drunk; sup
pose q large part are incompetent,
and others Of them diseased? It is
too late then to remedy. the matter; the
ship puts off to sea, and the Captain,
enraged perhaps at the cheat for which
his neglect Is chiefly to blame, falls tC
abusing his men. The greatest atroci
ties have been committed, and, indeed
are sometimes still perpetrated, in tht
shipping OF men. It is buta few month
since a mechanic in Baltimore, an in
dustrious man, with family depending
upon him, was kidnapped, put on boart
q vessel which Instantly sailed, and onl,
returned, after serious suffering ant
long detention, TO find his family il
want and himself mouned as dead
In New Orleans, some years before tht
war, there was q story told Of IN un
scrupulous boarding.hou keeper Il
whom had come the day before an uncl,
from Ireland, venerable person IL
knee -breeches. Him his nephew
drugged-being compelled to make NJ
the tale OF q ships crew-and stuffet
him into the forecastle as an able sea
man, pocketing in his name the hun
dred and fifty dollars advance none,
which was Just then paid for the "run'
TO Liverpool; and thus the poor oil
creature spent but single day in th
new country before he was borne bac
TO the old. The shipping act has put
stop to most OF tho abuses connecte
with the shipping Of seamen.

Clothing the Limbs of Little Girls.

A sensible mother, writing OF chill.
dren's clothing, says: 1 see many chill
dren whose lower limbs are quite too
much exposed for health or comfort. It
Is not infrequent to meet little girls
with dresses up to the knees and but
one pair OF perhaps cambria drawers
open at the bottom, and perhaps cot
ton stockings. Any grown person, or
boy, would freeze II clad thus. No
wonder that so many, when they arrive
at the age OF womanhood, have no
constitutions, and are good for little
but fashionable invalids, whose chief
business through life is TO supply the
doctor with good fees. Every child
should wear pair OF under.drawers
made OF Canton flannel (or, better still,
OF WOOL buttoned 10 the waist Of the
chemise, cut as small Us the leg Of the
bottom and left open little way and
extending down under tho stockings
TO the top OF the high shoe over these
q pair, cut moderately full, buttoning
lust below the knee. The band Is
pretty finished with marrow ruflle or o
bit Of embroidery. know many think
they do not look as well as when made
open at the bottom, but they are GER
tainly much more comfortable and SEN
sible. .f-

be consecutive, or TO be instructed reg
ularly at home ut least fourteen weeks
in each year in spelling, reading,
writing, English grammar, geography,
and arithmetic, unless the physical or
mental condition OF the child is such as
TO render such attendance or instruc-
ton inexpedient or impracEcable.
Section two is as follows: -.

years shall be employed by any person

An interesting case OF alleged con.
spiracy Is on trial in the courts Of Pitts.
burgh, the incidents being OF quite q
romantic nature. The prosecutrix II
Regina Steiner and the defendants her
husband and q lArge number OF his
relatives. Mrs. Steiner is a large,
handsome middle.aged woman, native
Of Alsace. She appeared in court in
the richest and coStliest OF toilets, and
with n profusion OF elegant jewelry. II
appears that in 1869 awealthymerchant
named Gottfried Jacque made her ac-
quaintance. They lived together for
over two years, when ssMr. Jacque con-
cluded TO marry some one else, and
after revolving the question over he had
hired Julian Steiner to marry her,
agreeing to settle upon her an annuity
Of 81, 200 in gold for the support OF her.
self and children. Steiner came to
America and remained for while in
New York, but ultimately went to Pitts.
burgh, where he finally settled. After
the lapse OF about nine months he re-
turned to Paris, married Regina, in
pursuanceof the previous arrangements
between himself and Jacgue, with
whom she had been living, and brought
her to America, together with two chill
dren, OF whom the wealthy merchant
was father. In tho meanwhile tho mer-
chant had settled on Regina an annuity
OF 5000 francs; but, before the year
had expired after their arrival in Pitts
burgh, tho husband, with the other de-
fendants, commenced series OF sys-
tematic abuses on tho wife. They tried
to force her into Dixmont Insane
Asylum, aud in other various ways 10
nd themselves Of their presence. For
a considerable time it seems her hus-
band appropriated her money 10 his
own purposes, and with it purchased
some property-that was not recorded,
however-and he conveyed it to Adam
Weigand, q relative, evidently for the
purpose OF getting rid OF the diff.
culties occasioned. ..ls raa
Tho defendants deny any conspiracy
for tho sake Of obtaining the annuity.
The paper provides that tho two must
marry, and the inference is that the
money belongs equally to the husband
and wife. st-
