time of his death, the largest dry
goods merchant in the United States

education, and was great lover o
the classics, to which he devoted
much of his leisure.

The New Haytfan Ruler,

Boisrond Canal, the head Of the provis-
ional government in Hayti, was born IN 1881
at Aux Hayes. in the south of the island.
He is OF mixed blood, and grand nephew
of Boisrond Torierre, author Of the Haytian
act of independence of 1904. Canal, who
was educated at the Lyceum OF Portau,
Prince, engaged early in life in commercial
pursuits. He subsequently devoted bis en-
ergies to managing his plantation at Frere.
where he established two schools for labor
ers' children. His plantation and that OF an
American, o. COtt, were regarded as the
TIVE model farms of the island. Later he was
appointed Judge Of the commercial court. and
under the Presidency of General GeftI ard,
whose aid-de-camp he was, he was post
master at Polt-au-Prince. In 1868 Canal
joined the liberal party against the govern
ment of President Salnave, and became one
of the principal Generals of volunteers in
the siege of Port. au- Prince. In December,
1869, he and General Briee, who was killed
by Dominique last year, landed at Port-au-
Prince with 1000 men and captured the
town from Salrave, who was soon after
shot. In February, 1870, Canal was elected
Senator of the republic. He served two
terms, leading the liberal party in the upper
chamber. In 1874 Canal was the presiden-
tial candidate of the liberal party, but
was defeated by Dominique and re-
tired to private life. In May Of last
year a party of soldiers cent by Do
mingue to arrest him attacked his house, but
with the aid of his laborers, Canal success.
fully resisted them for two days, and then
took refuge in the house of Mr.. Bassett, the
United States minister. This gave rice to Q
long correspondence between the United
States and Haytian governments, as to the
right of asylum, and in the following Sep.
tember an amicable arrangement was made
between the State Department and the
Haytian minister at Washington, by which
Canal was allowed to leave the island. he
went to Jamaica, where he met about 100
exiles, and q conspiracy was formed which
resulted in the overthrow of the Domingues
government. The representatives Of Hsytl
in this country say that General Canal is
liberal and enlightened man, in good
favor with the merchants of Hayti, and no
trouble need be apprehended under his
Administrations York Tribune.

Phrenologizing a Minister in Texas.

A blind phrenologist lectured the other
night at the Christian Church. There was
large crowd of ladies and gentlemen pre-
sent. At the close of the lecture, COM
mlttee was appointed to select candidates
for examination. The lucky man was DR..
Felix johnson, Cumberland Presbyterian
pastor of this city. The blind man OF
science proceeded to say that the Doctor
was very fond of the fair sex-in fact, as
Josephus said of Solomon, "ImmoGerately
fond of women" that, if his wife were to
die, he would lose no time in looking out
for another; that he had splendid appe-
tite, loved good eating, and liked to "dine
out" and was sure to make it understood
when he did that DR.. johnson was there,
etc. Some one in the audience wanted to
know about his religion. The sightless
scientist resumed: "Publicly he is very
religious, but privately he Is not troubled
with piety; he has fine mechanical head,
and while he would make fine blacksmith,
he would not make much of a preacher"
Here the doctor turned very red in the
face, and said "Sir, have been preacher
of the gospel for forty years."
The blind man shook his head, as much
q to say, 'Thst's too thin"
During the whole time the audience was
in roar. and the fun was prodigious.-
