On dit trop souyent que la race
creole a dfg6n6ree ; que les fills he

Celia est peute,re vrai, mais les
creoles eux memes ont tort den

mediocre opinion de sa propre
energie, de ses propres capacities,
comment esperer que les strangers
auront une opinion plus favorable?
II faut, au contraire, protester
contre de pareilles assertions il
faut surtout reagir contre ce SEN
timent dapathie qui tend a sac
centuer advantage chaqne jour.
Nous aimons les cr6oles c'est
poufquoi nous nous permettons de

La preuve pourtant que les
creoles ne sont pas morris, c'est
Que lEtat tout entier Went de

un r6presentant de leur race, un
enfant du pays.
Ce que nous en- disons nest pas
pour precher une ligne hostile aux

par leg liens du sang, qui parle la

DOBBINS ELECTRIC SOAP.

DOBBINS' ELECTRIC SOAP.
Having obtained the agency Of
this celebrated soap for Abbeville
and vicinity, | append the opin-
ion of some of our best people as
to its merits. We have been
using for the last 3 months the
Dohbirs' Electric soap. made by
|. l.. Cragin & Co Philadelphia.
Pa, and find that it washes and
cleans the clothes more rapidly
and more thoroughly and Is in
the end cheaper than any other
soap we have ever used in our
family. We can heartily recon-
mend it and a single trial will
convince all of the correctness Of
our assertions.

A HOME OF YELLOW FEVER.
Points Of the Report to be Made BY
United States Investigators
In Cuba.

The yellow fever commission who
recently returned from Cuba after a
three months visit of inquiry is ex-
pected to make an interesting report
as soon as congress meets. A dis
patch from Washington to the New
York Times says of its works at Ha-
vana
In the prosecution Of its labors, the
commission had the assistance of II
of the Oldest and most experienced
physicians Of Cuba, and all the medi-
cal records and statistics in relation to
yellow fever which are known to exist
on the island were placed at its dispo
sal, including the reports Of military
and other hospitals. In this way a
large mass Of valuable information
which has never been published was
obtained. The hospital statistics are
very complete, running back for a
period of twenty-five years, and cannot
fail to be Of great service to the medi-
icaI profession of this country in the
treatment of yellow fever. The com
mission was instructed, in pursuing Its
investigations, to obtain full answers
as fast as possible to certain interroga
tories prepared by the National board
Of health, and these related generally
to the epidemic and endemic character
and influence of the disease, the
causes, if any, of its termination,
methods Of treatment, etc.
The commission was also instructed
to ascertain whether the disease is a
permanent resident Of Cuba, and, il
SO, in what particular parts of the
island is it permanent, and what, in
the Judgment of the commission
should be done to guard against its
importation into the United States
Before starting for Havana, the com.
mission was organized by selecting DR.
Ohaille as president and DR.. Stern.
berg as secretary, and upon reaching
Cuba the commission was divided
into two bodies, with Drs. Chaille anC
Sternberg as their respective heads
each body being charged with a specific
line of inquiry, bearing upon the gen
eral subject of investigation.
DR.. Chaille informed the Times cor
respondent that the commission dis.
covered, beyond all controversy, thai
yellow fever permanently dwells in
Cuba, and that hospital and other sta.
tistics in possession of the commission
show that during the period embraced
between 1856 and the present time
scarcely a month has passed without
deaths from yellow fever occurring OF
the island.

ed to the most hideous description of
outrage that can be inflicted upon
woman, merely because she has pre-
sumed to indulge her philanthropic
by teaching poor children
to read and write gratis, is one of the
many offenses against the laws of God
and man by the frequent and reckless
commission of which the Russian
government has put itself outside the
pale of civilization 1t cannot be but
that an awful atonement awaits the
barbarous wretches who thus revel in
the agonies Of the innocent whose
crimes outvie those of the Inquisition
in heartless and cold blooded ferocity.
1t should be remembered that Mile
Kahero's case is but common one, Of
which the world would, however, have
never heard had the goal of her cruel
journey been Siberia instead Of the
German frontier. Thousands Of
gently-nurtured women have under
gone the tOrments she COMPLAINS of,
ruthlessly inflicted upon them on their
road to the Russian penal settlements
by the savage funetionaries of Gar
Alexander. But their cries of dis
tress have never reached civilized
ears. Once bound to the mines they
are heard of no more by any who
knew them ere they fell victims to the
most brutal and merciless despotism
that has ever disgraced humanity.
