The Haytian Republie.

Consul General Langston, of Port.a u-
Prince, Hayti, sends to the Department
of State the annual message OF the Presi-
dent of the republic of Hayti. It ap-
pears therefrom that the finances of the
republic seem to be in good condition.
The indebtedness to France has been
reduced $1,O41, 1876, leaving balance
due in 1883 of 81, 1877, 1909. There is now
in the treasury $4,000 applicable to
the Santo Domingo loan. The total re-
ceipts of the national treasury are stated
to have been, for the year ending March
81, 1878, $842, 647.76. The expenditure
was $840, 740. The President urges
financial reforms and the establishment
of national bank. New uniforms and
arms for the army are proposed in the
message. It is recommended that tie
old cannon be melted and the proceeds
given to the church. The navy, although
small, appears to be in good condition.
Under the head of agriculture the mes
sage says: Nature has favored our
fields. Food has been abundant. Or
ganized immigration, chiefly from Italy,
is constantly going on. Arrangements
have been made to display the products
OF Hayti at the Paris Exposition. Ma
chinery of various kinds is needed. Edu-
cation is fostered. There are 673 teach
ers in $40 schools, of which 2O2 are
rural. y r trsf9

A HUNGARIAN gravely proposes to
drive the Jews out of Europe. He holds
that the continent has been threatened
by two foreign elements for thousand
years-Mohammedan and Jewish. The
Mohammedans, he thinks, have ceased
to be dangerous, and are gradually dis
appearing, but the Jews, with their per-
sistent and merciless energy, threaten
to enslave the whole of Christendom.
This is the source of all the evils from
which the continent is suffering, for
Jewish interests, politics, statesmen.
journalists and fnanciers direct the des-
TIMES Of all great states, and influence
all Governments. To remedy this great
international evil, he considers that
there is but one course-to expel the
Jews from Europe, and colonize them in
the Holy Land.

A TYPOGRAPHICAL error in Hartford
paper suggests the inquiry whether
some of the grave responsibility which
the public puts on the druggists for the
consequences Of their mistakes ought
not to be transferred to the shoulders of
the composition, while at the same time
it furnishes strong argument against the
use of Latin terms in medicine. The
printer had a medical formula to set up,
in which occurred the aqua Fonts
(spring water), but the types made it
aqua fortis, change that might be re-
sponsible for some serious consequences.
The manuscript of the average medical
practitioner, by the way, is not such as
to conduce to accuracy when placed in
the hand of the printer.

ISAAC FR1ED1ANDER, known as Cali
fornia's grain king, is dead, at the i'm
mature age of 81. He was a native Of
Germany, but bred in New York, and
went to California amid the excitement
which followed the discovery Of gold.
He soon abandoned the mines for COM

fornia's great export trade in cereals.
Ralston, the banker, was Friedlander's
friend, and aided him materially in
maintaining his grasp upon the grain
trade Of the State. The suspension Of
the Bank of California was severe blow
to Friedlander. He made and lost sew
eral large fortunes, and is believed to
have died solvent

Dream of JEFF Davis.

JEFF Davis still dreams of a Southern
Confederacy. His speech at Mobile
sounds like the mournful wall of an east
wind sweeping through a graveyard.
Poor jeff he sits upon the craggy
height of despair, watching the fortunes
of Democracy. His last hope is cen
tered in the success of that party. Ii it
gains control of the nation, his dream
may blossom into reality; if it fails,
jeff must look for consolation in another
direction-to a party of his own crea-
ton, based upon the simon-pure doc
trines of secession, and engineered by
the faithful who still cling to his fort

The Democratic Programme.

In all human likelihood Democrat
will walk up the White House steps in
1881, and take his seat in the Presiden-
tial chair. He will send his first mes
sage to Democratic Senate and Dem
ocratic House, and then quiet but ir-
resistible political revolution will set in
"a revolution that will sweep from the
constitution and statute books the last
stain and blemish Of New England ideas.
It is safe to say that the following pro-
gramme will be followed out to the ut
termost letter and syllable:
l. The republic will be Invested of
the powers that it has usurped from the
States since 1851. The reserved rights
of the several commonwealth of the
Federal Union will be recognized in their
widest scope and range. In word, the
Calhoun theory will be put in practice,
while Hamiltopism will be torn up, root
and branch, and destroyed forever.
2. The unconstitutional amendments
will be repealed and the constitution will
thus be restored to it's primitive vigor,
the ballot box purified, and politics re-
deemed in an unlimited measure from
the demoralizing influence of Ignorant,
vicious, and mercenary suffrage.
3. The Irrational banks will be lev
eled with the dust, the United States
bonds will be taxed, and the greenbaek
will be made a legal tender for every
dollar of public indebtedness.
A thousand and one other reforms ne
cessitated by Radical treason and mis-
rule will be made; but those we have
particularly specified are the most ur-
gent and vital, and will prove most
speedily beneficial to our common coun-
try.-Oko5oaa (MSss. Southern States.

In 1920 the best trotting time was a
mile in 8 minutes. In 1910 the time was
reduced to 2:40; in 1880, to 1928; in
1850, to 2:26 in 1860, to 2:19a in 1870,
2:174 in 1876, the best record was made
by Goldsmith Maid, who made mile in
ola, which has recently been equaled by
Rarus. Practically, the limit of trotting
speed may be said to have been reached,
though it is by no means improbable
that phenomenal animals may decrease
the time of Goldsmith Maid.

THE CARE OF CHILDREN.
Plain and Simple Rules to Be Observed by
Mothers During the Hot Season.

Plain and Simple Rules to Be Observed by
Mothers During the Hot Season.
The New York Board Of Health has
published the following rules for the
care Of children during the hot season:
Nursing of Infants.
does more harm than anything else;
nurse an infant month or two old every
two or three hours.
Nurse an infant of 6 months and over
five times in twenty-four hours, and no
more.
Ii an infant is thirsty, give it pure
water or barley water; no sugar.
On the hottest days a few drops of
whisky may be added to either water or
food; the whisky not to exceed a tea
spoonful in twenty-four hours.
Feeding of Infants. Boil a teaspoon
full of powdered barley (ground in coffee
grinder) and a gill of water, with little
salt, for fifteen minutes, strain, then mix
it with half as much boiled milk, add a
lump of white sugar, size OF a walnut,
and give it luke-warm, from nursing
bottle. Keep bottle and mouth piece in
bowl of water when not in use, to which
little soda may be added.
For infants 5 or 6 months old, give
half barley water and half boiled milk,
with salt and lump of sugar.
For older infants, give more milk than
barley water.
For infants very costive, give oatmeal
instead of barley. Cook and strain as be-
fore.
When your breast-milk is only half
enough, change off between breast-milk
and this prepared food.
In hot weather, if blue Ltmus paper,
applied to the food, turns red, the food
is too acid, and you must make fresh
mess, or add small pinch of baking
soda.
Infants of months may have beef
tea or beef soup once day, by itself, or
mixed with other food; and, when 10 or
- months old, crust Of bread and a
piece of rare beef to suck.
No child under years ought to eat at
your table.
Give no candies, in fact, nothing that
is not contained in these rules, without
doctors orders.
Summer Complaint. comes from
overlooking, ana not not and foul air.
Keep doors and windows open.
Wash your we'll children with cold wa
ter twice day, and oftener in the hot
season.
Never neglect looseness Of the bowels
in an infant; consult the family or dis
pensary physician at once, and he will
give you rules about what it should take
- L
your rooms as cool as possible, have
them we'll ventilated, and do not allow
any bad smells to come from sinks,
privies, garbage-boxes, or cutters about
he house where you live. See that
your own apartments are right, and
complain to the Board of Health, No.
301 Mott street, if the neighborhood is
offensive. Where an infant is cross and
irritable in the hot weather a trip on the
water will do it a great deal of good
ferry-boat or steamboat), and may pre-
vent cholera infantum.

are SO skillfully executed to initiate the

and spoils it even for sensational pur.

time he had a number of fans placed in

THOSE poisoned arrows from South
America, in the Smithsonian Institute at

fool with. The points are tipped with
wooruara, a most deadly poison, which

on rats, and, though the point of the ar
row only pricked the hind legs of the
rodents, they died within five minutes
after the application was made.

COming-P Perhaps.

Inc time is coming (perhaps,
when the customs of Virginia, and all
the heightened blackguardism which il
Illustrated the sway of the chivalry at the
national capital before the war, will be
re-established; the time is coming, it
may be, when the pop of the pistol will
punctuate debate and the swish of the
cowhide vindicate "the honor of the
South, sir" the time is coming, posi-
bly,, when the bludgeon shall once more
strike down the political opponent in
the Senate-house. and honorable gentle
men who are not apt at debate shall
close controversy by numbering their
critics. But we have not gone back to
the old fashion yet, and Mr.. Hunton is
premature.
What hideous days those were when
plantation manners ruled the House of
Representatives and slave-drivers hec-
tored in the Senate! Congress was an
arsenal of knives, revolvers and loaded
canes, and the pursuit of politics was al
most as dangerous as South American
revolution. The type of Democratic
statesman was long haired fellow eter-
nally swearing and drinking, cursing
Northern mud-sills, and vowing that he
would cut the liver out of anybody who
said that he was not gentleman. At
home he dispensed lavish and barbaric
hospitality in house very much out of
repair, surrounded by squalid slave
cabins and approached by ruin
Gus roads. His crops were al
ways mortgaged to his factors he
sold niger now and then when he
must have ready cash; and he damned
every creditor who asked him to pay his
debts. He was uneducated; he cared
nothing for book; he knew moth
ing of the world beyond his own
horizon; he read nothing except some
fire. eating newspaper like the Charles
ton Mercury, in which "Publius, :"
"Agricola," and other tedious persons
discussed politics and attacked politi-
clans in weak imitation of the style of
"Junius.' From the midst of his dogs
and horses and slave-drivers he went to
Washington with the air of ruffianly
Baron, and SO, fighting duels and drink
ing brandy, he staggered through his
noisy career, until suddenly the war
came, the country woke up, and the
nightmare was over.
There were some pleasant and honora-
BILE things in the lives of these bragga-
docio planters, but the "custom of
Virginia belongs to the catalogue of
barbarisms which long suffering coun-
try has no wish to see revived. Mr..
Hunton must be taken down. He is
not satisfied with the Government in it's
present shape, and has been trying
pretty hard to unsettle it and make an
other; but the work is not by any means
done yet, and it is too soon to get out
his pistols. He has violated the laws Of
Virginia and made himself liable to vari-
GUS penalties, one Of which is disquali-
fication for Office. There will be loud
and imperative demand for the enforce
men. of the anti-dueling statute, and so,
probably, Mr.. Hunton will not go back
Congress. It will be a good lesson to
the reviving Hotspurs. It will teach
them to wait.-NeaD York Tribune.

Why They Used Violence.

The Democratic members of the SUBJ
committee in New Orleans have gotten
hold of few witnesses who cannot be
intimidated or sbribed, such as Mr..
Clark, late Recorder of East Feliciana
parish Mr.. Swayzie, colored, ex-State
Senator of the Felicianas, and Milton
Jones, also colored, of Point Coupee.
These witnesses told the story of out
rage and intimidation in their parishes
and in a manner to carry conviction.
It has been stock question with
Democratic Investigators: "Why should
the Democrats resort to violence in these
parishes, and 50 enable the Republicans
to throw them out? Was not such a
course manifestly against their inter-
est ?"
This inquiry has bothered many, yet
it is easy enough answered. The Demo
cratic managers selected, long in ad-
vance of the campaign, Ouachita, More
house, East Baton Rouge, and East and
West Feliciana. as the parishes in which
the State was to be won by the shotgun.
These were selected because they had
invariably given heavy Republican ma
jorities. These majorities in 1874 had
been

Now, the Democrats claimed to have
carried all these parishes in 1876 by a
majority of 1900. It was possible,
therefore, if they could buy or bulldoze
the Returning Board as they had done
the parishes, to effect fraudulent
change of votes to the number of 8,579
in these parishes alone.
Suppose they failed in this Gas hap
pened to them) and the fraudulent ma
| iorities were not counted Gas was actual
| ly the case), the board having no power
to count for the Republicans the votes
of which the party had been unlawfully
deprived, the Democrats would succeed
Gas they actually did, in depriving the
Republicans of this 4, 900 legitimate ma
ierity. Their bulldozing tactics being
extended to some twenty more parishes,
sufficiently to greatly reduce the Repub-
lican vote, they hoped, by depriving the
Republicans Of this 1000 majority, to
deprive them of the State as we'll. This
explains why the Democratic managers
were willing to throw away considerable
vote which was legitimately theirs. Ii
was for the purpose Of depriving the
Republicans of vote much greater.
This simple statement lays bare to the
commenest apprehension the secret OF
the Ku-Klux campaign Of 1876.-Iater
