American Legation was alongside the Brit
ish Legation in little bit OF pen. You
couldn't whisper in it without being heard
next door. In fact, the legation was mere
side show to the British minister's head
quarters. changed all that, moved into
good quarters, and soon did business for
the United States independently. The
Government of Hayti has paid respect to
our demands, and was able to settle ad-
vantageously the claims of citizens which
had been standing for twenty years, and
which the State Department thought could
not possibly be adjusted. My observation
of the conduct of Government business
leads me to believe that this country must
soon make great issue of the re-arrange-
ment OF its foreign service. England has
been making great effort for the bust
ness of this island. France is also seek
ing it, and the people speak French. The
Germans would like to increase their trade
there. They have old and sage diplomats
there, shrewd and willy consuls. and pay
them large salaries. and give them all the
help they need in secretaries and clerks.
This government bubbles over mere
clerk hire What is true in Hayti is true
all round the world. If this country is to
have foreign trade, it must treat its
representatives with generosity and must
make efforts to secure trade, and to hold
it when secured"

Skeptical Spiritualists.
A MEDIUM WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE HAD
COMMUNICATION WITH GEN. GRANT.

Several persons who are accustomed to
pass their Sunday afternoons in a hall near
Fourteenth street and Sixth avenue with the
Theodore Parker Spiritualst Fraternity found
themselves associated yesterday with an elder
lv lady who was introduced as Mrs. Myra
Hail medium. Mrs. Hall said she used to
live in Washington during Gen. Grants ad
ministration as President, and in the course
of little talk with her audience, professedly
under spirit control, she had a great deal to
say about him.
Among other things the listeners were in
formed that Gen Grant saw and fully appre-
ciated the splendid funeral pageant that fol-
lowed him to the tomb; his only disappoint-
ment was that he could not make his realiza-
ton of it manifest to the thousands around
him The frat persons who met him on the
borders of the spirit land were members of
his own family long since passed from earth,
thus assuring him that ties of blood and affec-
ton passed beyond the grave. After making
a few observations about the American gov
eminent and the military, quite coincident
with published views expressed by Gen.
Grant in life, the audience was informed that
the spirit was about to depart.
IF this communication really comes from
Gen. Grant," said a clerical looking gentle
man, "nnm otners Ieierreu 10 Ms Ut. E'eTett,
lean we not get some substantial if not indis-
putable evidences of it? Several persons
here were in the war, and would readily
recognize any proof of Gen. Grants identity.
The doctor got no further satisfaction, and
after collection had been taken up Mrs. Hall
bid the Fraternity good afternoon. 1t was
evident from the discussion in the usual
conference" that followed that Mrs. Halls
manifestations were received with much
skepticism-N y Times. ION.

The establishment of the Travellers Pro
tective Union is an event upon which all
decent railway travellers can congratulate
themselves. The object of the society is
to bring about the abolition of certain
nuisances which at present greatly inter-
fere with the comfort of travellers, and a
glance at the prospectus gives us great
reason to hope that the society will do its
work effectively. On joining the Travel
ers' Protective Union the new member
pledges himself to observe certain rules.
The first of these is ALWAYS to throw out of
the window whatever paper, book, or
package the peripatetic newsboy may lay
in the members lap. The Trainer OF this
rule was doubtless inspired by the exam
pie of the noble old lady referred to not
long since in this paper who threw out OF
the window the various articles which
were unlawfully deposited in her lap. If
the rule is faithfully observed, it will be a
very short time before the newsboy ceases
his persecution Three travellers on any
train VINO should each throw package of
prize candy, newspaper, book. and a
banana out of the window would prevent
the newsboy from making any profit what
ever. and six travellers who should per-
form like benefcent feat would bank
rupt the boy. If the society carries out
its purpose thoroughly for. say. three
weeks, not newsboy on any railroad in
the country will venture to thrust his
property in strangers lap N. Y.

Robert Howard of Fall River. secretary
of the Spinners' Union. has issued circu-
lar in which he gives the opinion of a
workman on the business depression and
"hard times. He saws: Trade has taken
turn for the better, and we will point
out few causes which led to the extreme
depression in our industry and the best
course for the manufacturers to follow in
the future. Too many mills have been
built in the las. fifteen years. Too many
seindles and looms have gutted the mar
ket. and reduced the value of print cloths
to such low rates that people regard them
as too cheap to be of any worth. The old
cry that anything is good enough for print
cloths should be dropped, and manufac-
turers must. if they desire good trade,
consider the desire of consumers in the
future instead of spectators, Better stock
shonld be put in the goods by which their
durability would be improved and high
never be great demand for prints. while
dress pieces can be bought for from 35 to
40 cents. for it costs considerably more
for the making up and this appreciates
them in the eyes of purchasers When
dull trade appears wages should not be
reduced, for we live in a country where
over 90 per cent of the manufactured
products are consumed by its own popula-
ton and consequently 10 or 20 per cent
taken off. the purchasing power OF the
people decreases consumption to that ex-
tent and reacts with a terrible force upon
the manufacturers who make the reduc
ton nv forcing them to sell their cloth at
low prices, in some instances below the
cost of manufacture, and finally leads to
the stoppage of mills. as we have wit
messed in this city to-day. If we ever
emerge from this depression and if pros
turers should turn their attention toward
obtaining some of the $40. 100000 worth
of trade which England does annually
with the continent of America. and if a
cloud of industrial depression should loom
up some time in the future, we believe it
is the best way to counterfeit it instead of
reducing wages.
Ex-Minister Langston. recently returned
from Hayti, regards Hayti and Santo Do
mingo as most promising fields of trade.
He said to Tribune reporter Perhaps
no two countries OF like size and popula-
ton. offer greater advantages. In the or

Horses Memories.

Hartford Couraut.
A cripple of years ago gentleman in
Providence owned q little gray horse
that was used in the family by himself,
his wife and children. It was made
quite pet of. Finding that it could
speed quite sharp, he entered it in a
number of country races, in the end get
ting a record of '32 for it. Then he
sold it. Later on the children missed it
so much that he endeavored toEet track
of it, and sent to a number of places, but
failed to find it. A couple of days ago
he was on Washington street, and his
attention was attracted by little gray
PAGER that came whirling down. He
had never seen his gray pace, but he was
sure this was his old pet, and when OPP
portunity offered he drove alongside and
called it bv name. The pony knew him
at once, and gave unmistakable evidence
of recognition.
Another instance showing the memory
of the horse is that of the PAGER purchas-
ed by Mr.. Lloyd last year of Winsted
gentleman. A few weeks ago the former
owner was in town and went up to see
Ginger. The horses present attendant
was in the box.stall petting him when
his old master stepped in and callt d
him by name. The horse no sooner
heard his voice than he forsook his
companion and showed his delight at
meeting his former owner in various
ways, among other tricks going into his
coat pockets for the delicacies that he
used to find there. The gentleman
asked him to roll over" for him, and he
went down upon the straw and over in
a moment. Mr.. Lloyd's health prevents
his showing Ginger much this Winter,
but it is generally conceded that the
handsome little horse would make it
quite interesting for the best of the trot-
tiers.
