Bishop Of Havana

New York SUM-
A singular man was the Bishop
Of Havana, whose death is lust an
nounced by telegraph. The dis
patch tells us that this Bishop had
to be buried by public subscription,
as he left nothing, having given all
his possessions to the poor. Queer,
was it not? Some people will say
he was a very foolish man. He
had plenty Of chances to make
money, which he might have put
out at interest till it grew to a for
tune. He had a good salary, which
he might have boarded up, and by
which he might have enriched his
heirs. But instead of doing any
Of these things, this singular
Bishop had given all his possessions
to the poor, not leaving even
enough to pay the expenses of his
funeral. He died of the vomito
which is raging in Havana. He
did not run away from the city be-
cause the vomito ragged in it, but
remained there for the sake Of his
flock, who were falling victims to
it. Some people will say that this
clergyman ought to have looked
after himself; but, alas! he neg
lected his own interests in every
way. The Havana letter published
in the Sun yesterday, which told of
his illness, said he was greatly be-
loved by the whole population.
Strange again! Were there no rich
men, no fighting men, no fierce
politicians, who deserved their adj.
miration? Bishop Serrano-that
was his name.
He died in poverty, because he
had given all his possessions to the
poor, and had actually to be buried
at the public expense. 1t seems
that he was the friend Of the lowest
order Of men, and that the slaves
are inconsolable over his loss. 1t
appears, also, that while he surren-
dered all his worldly goods to the
needy, he boldly preached right
eousness and repentance in the
style of the ancient prophets. Even
after he had been attacked by the
vomito, which carried him of, he
went about his work, and kept it
up till his strength failed him. We
cannot think of any man who has
liveda more self-sacri6cing life than
Bishop Serrano did.

How Parisiennes Dress.

"John Paul. is astonished and
disguised that the French men
dress so shabbily and t~astelessly.
But he sees quite the other thing
in the women; Compelled by the
prejudices Of society to wear some
clothes, the Parisienne considers
the lilies-the roses-on her cheeks
(if there be none there, remedies
the omission, delicately, not obtru-
sively) and adopts the style of dress
which is most becoming to the
figure that God has given her, the
color most becoming to the COM
plexion which-she generally regu-
lates for herself. Not for the world
could you persuade the French wo-
man Overmuch given to embonpoint
into a pin-back which should bring
the drawback of her figure too
prominently forward. AS for fol-
lowing any fashion implicitly, this
she will not do. That folly is left
for the fair of my native land, who,
SO far as l can see, enjoy a monopo-
ly of it. For the English woman
follows nothing, but dresses herself
by accident with some reference to
the price of consols and the state
of the dry goods market), putting
on the first thing that comes handy,
and stopping around in it with
supreme dissatisfaction.

Hood Drinking.
POuEhkeepsie COurisr.l

Poughkeepsle COurler.l
The practice of blood drinking
for the cure of consumption and
other wasting diseases is severely
commented on by many of the
medical journals, and cases are ad-
duced as evidence of the evil of the
practice. 1t is said that it induces
an inordinate appetite for blood,
which will be appeased by nothing
else, and which results in a horrible
form of insanity, to which the
name of haromania has been given.
The victim of this mad passion for
blood will, if the fresh blood of ami
mails is not attainable, it is said,
suck the blood of sleepers to whom
he or she may have access. How
much truth there is in this we do
not know, but observation and the
experience Of ages has established
the fact that almost all, if not all,
the dietary and other rules given
for physical guidance through
Moses to the Jews had its hygienic
meaning. Blood was especially
prohibited, and with good cause.
1t does not assimilate when taken
in any quantity into the stomach.
and then the revulsion felt to it
when the practice is first entered
upon should be regarded as signif-
cant of its unsuitableness as a form
of diet.

The New Haytlan Ruler.
New York Tribune.l

New YORK Trieune.J
Boisrond Canal, the head of the provi-
sional government in Hayti, was born in
1881 at Aux Hayes, in the south Of the
island. He is Of mixed blood, aud a
grand nephew Of Boisrond Torierre, au-
thor of the Haytian Act Of independence
Of 1904, Canal, who was educated at
the Lyceum Of Port au-Prince, engaged
early in life in commercial pursuits. he
subsequently devoted his energies to
managing his plantation at Frere, where
he established two schools for lsborers
children. His plantation and that of an
American, o. Colt, were regarded as the
two model farms Of the island. Later,
be was appointed judge Of the CONNER
cisl court, and under the presidency Of
General Geffrard, whose sid-de-csmp he
was, he was postmaster at Port-su Prince.
In 1868 Canal Joined the liberal party
against the government Of President Sal
nave, and became one Of the principal
generals of volunteers in the seige Of
Port-au-P Prince. In December, 1869, he
and General Bries, who was killed by
Dominique last year, landed at Port-su
Prince with two Thousand men, and cap
tured the town from Salnsve, who was
o after shot. In February, 1870,
Canal was elected senator Of the repub-
lie. He served two terms, leading the
liberal party in the upper chamber. In
1874, Canal was the presidential candi-
date of the liberal party, but vas defeat.
ed by Dominique and retired to private
life. 10 May, last year, a party Of SOL
diers, sent by Dominique to arrest him,
attacked bis house, but, with the aid Of
laborers Canal successfully resisted them
for three days, and then took refuge iR
the house Of Mr.. Bassett, the United
States minister. This gave rise to a long
correspondence between the United
States and Hsytian governments as to
the right Of asylum, aud in the following
September an amicable arrangement was
made between the state department and
the Haytiau minister at Washington, by
which Canal was allowed to leave the
island. He went to Jamaica, where be
met about one hundred exiles, and a con-
spiracy was formed which resulted in the
overthrow Of Domingue's government.
The representatives of Hsyti in this
country say that General Canal is a lib
eral and enlightened man, in good favor
with the merchants of Hayti, and no
trouble need be %spprehended under his
administration.

About an Ape,

A gentleman was suffering from
an liberated sore throat, which
finally became so swollen that his
life was despaired of, when his
household came to his bedside to
bid him farewell. Each person
grasped his hand for a moment,
and then, turning, went out weep
ing, A pet ape, which had
mOdeStly waited till the last, then
advancing and grasping his mas
ter's hand for a minute, also turned
and went away with his hands to
his eyes. This assumption Of deep
grief-which it is hardly possible
the animal could have felt, since it
could scarcely have comprehended
the problem of mortality there Sc
powerfully presented to the human
mlnd-was so ludicrous in its per-
lection that the patient himself was
seized with an uncomfortable fit of
laughter, which broke the ulcer in
his throat, whereby his life was
saved.
