Hardened Liver.

Five years ago broke down with kidney and liver complaint and rheumatism.
 Since then have been unable to be about at all. My liver became hard like wood; my limbs were puffed up and filled with water.
 All the best physicians agreed that nothing could cure me. I resolved to try Hop Bit ters; I have used seven bottles; the hardness has all gone from my liver, the swelling from my limbs, and it has worked miracle in my case; otherwise I would have been now in my grave. J. w. MoREY.

PeremptOry trder.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug CSC. A, Van
Bokelen of New York, ex-United States
copsul-general at Port-a Prince, arrived
in this city to-day as passenger on the
American steamer Haytien Republic
from Port-au-P Prince. He tells remark
able story of outrageous treatment at
the hands OF the Haytien government.
While acting MS consul general Mr.. Van
Bokelen married Haytien woman, and
at the end of, his term of office,
took up the business of dealing in the
paper money of the native government.
At this he made considerable money, and
then decided 10 invest part of his gains
in real estate, but this was forbidden by
n law of Hayti, which denies that right
TO any but native born Haytien. He
evaded the law, however, and purchased
n piece of property i'll Port au- Prince,
winch transaction reachiug the enrs ri
President Solomon, the chiuf magistrate
of the republic, he caused Van Bokeirna
arrest, and had him locked up in Al
wretched dungeon in the government
prison Mt Port.au- Prince. Here his only
companions were negroes of the most
debased type, many of them being muir
lerers and desperadoes; and very often
the prison, which is small and wretched
structure, built on low, swampy ground,
was crowded with nearly three hundred
prisoners, Mr.. Van Bokelen being
the only white man among them. His
ungeon was narrow stone cell, which
measured feet by A, and the walls were
constantly dripping with water. There
the unfortunate ex-consul was forced
to live from March, 1884, until
the 9th of June, 1885, the
place being infested with rats
and loathsome vermin. His health, which
was robust when he was imprisoned, is
now entirely broken down, and he has
become victim to both consumption and
chronic catarrh, while his face is pale
and haggard and gives every evidence of
long suffering.
Mr.. Van Bokelen says: mo attention
was paid by President solomon to letters
from Secretary Frelingbuysen, and lie
was not released until Secretary Bayard
wrote the lIayti president, demanding his
instant release, stating at the same time
that If lie was not released, United
States man-of-war would be dispatched TO
Port-au-P Prince, with instructions to adopt
severe measures, if necessary"
The truth of the story is vouched for
by the captain and pursen of the steamer

THE PURITAN CHOSEN.
The BostOn Yacht Selected TO Defend
the America,s Cup.

New YoRK, Aug. 9O.-The following
notices were sent yesterday TO the owners
of the yachts Genesta and Puritan:
SEcRETARYs OFFICE, NEW YoRK YACHT
CLUB, New YORK, Aug. 3Dth, 1SS5.-Dedf
Sir. am instructed by the committee IN
charge to inform you that the sloop yacht
Puritan has been chosen to meet the Genesta
in the forthcoming races for the possession
OF the Americas Cup. Very truly yours,
CHARLES A. MINToN,
Secretary of Committee.
To SIR RICHARD SUTTON Bart, Yacht
Genesta.
Dear Sir: take great pleasure In notify
ing you that the sloop yacht Puritan has
been selected by the committee In charge
to meet the Genesta in the forthcoming
races for the Americas Cup. Yoors, re-
spectfully, CHARLES A. MINToN
Secretary of Committee.
To j. MALcoM FORBES, ESD, representing
owners of the Puritan.
The Puritan received new gail topsail
from Boston last night. Arrangements
have also been made to transfer to her all
the light extra sails of the Priscilla. II
is saii now Tint the Priscilla will not be
put uut OF commission until after the
close OF the racing season.
The idea of making the Puritan n
typical American boat has been carried
out, even in the cloth of which her sails
were made. NJ. Boynton Il Co. of Boston,
agents for the Russell mills OF Plymouth,
Mass, had the cloth woven especially for
the purpose. 1t is heavy Gotten duck,
woven on the new principal of using
threads of the same size for both warp
and wool TO insure the cloth stretching
evenly. ''Boyuton " Co." said Mr.
Forbes, won't to u great danl of expense
from spirit of pure patriotism, to
make the very best canvas obtainable, and
they have succeeded so well that the
article produced is better than any we
have ever seen. The nainsail now on the
Puritan is made of this canvas. II was
put ON after the race for the Goelet Cup
oil Newport, and is SO much better than
the old one that we think it improved the
sailing of the yacht fully as much as the
alteration of hcrrig improved the Priscilla,
and thus the two bouts stood on the same
relative terms that they we're before"
The Puritan was built by IN association
of Boston gentlemen. who subscribed the
money required. They decided in ad-
vance to build their boat from designs by
Mr.. Edward Burgess of that city.
Although Mr.. Burgess never attempted to
build n large boat, he hnd been remark.
ably successful in designing fast small
boats. Last year an lsfoot keel catbont
built from his designs, heat everything in
Boston Harbor. Previously no one had
succeeded in building keel catboat that
could beat the contrebonrds. After the
gentlemen referred to had invited Mr..
Burgess TO furnish them with designs,
they appointed committee to select from
those furnished. Mr.. Burgess submitted
but one design, bnt lie afterwards made
soine notifications in il to admit of put
ting more lead On the keel This design
was ut once accepted by the committee
and according TO it the Puritan was built
