dunning circulars called an "eye

not only among the members of the

who had received the circulars. Most
local members of the association have
accepted the friendly caution given
them, but a few contend that the cir

mailed and is not actiOnable. These
are welcome to persist in their dan
gerOus course, but they will find that
They will soon come to a sudden halt
if any one who receives them will

the United States attorney for this

THE REVOLT IN HAYTI.
President Solomon Pays Two of his Ministers
So. coo Each to Accept Bauis ment.

FoRr Monroe, June 2i.-The little Yantic,
Commander Heyerman, came III and anchored
In the roads, having made the trip from Santl-
ago de Cuba in the quick time OF six days and
q half. The Yantic reports that the troubles
that called her 10 Port au Prince were over
when she arrived. The people are taxed be-
You'd their endurance, and the recent large
amounts paid as indemnities to foreign powers
have still further added TO their burdens.
The muatto faction is arrayed against the
blacks, the president being at the head OF the
latter party and his advanced age aud present
state of health is the primary cause OF trouble,
giving chance for aspiring members OF his
cabinet.
During tho latter part of May two of his
ministers Generals Manigat and Legitime-
were discovered in n plot to overthrow him.
The people flow to arms, the city was in per-
feet cyclone of excitement and,
as is usual at such times, a
large portion of their venom was d.
rected against the whites, whose lives, as well
rs property, were in danger. The president
ordered the srrest OF the ministers, and their
friends prepared to resist what they considered
a high-handed action. The diplomatic corps
asked the president to withdraw his order and
attempt an amicabEe arrangement. He re-
fused, and Immediately they telegraphed their
respective governments for men OF war TO be
dispatched at once to the scene of disturb
ance. There being no Geographic station
within one hundred and twenty miles of Port
au Prince, news in that section of tho world
travels very slowly. When the Yantic ar
rived the president had secceeded in bringing
about something of q compromise, and had
bribed the two ministers with $1,000 each to
accept banishment-Legitime to Kingston and
Manigat TO Santiago de Cuba-which settled
tue row for the time being, and the excitement
ubated. Every one is firmly convinced that
tho former will again be heard from. He is a
mulatto, and although in the cabinet, is
known TO he fully in sympathy with the
mulatto faction, or, in other words, the oppo-
sition. He is man of more than ordinary
ability, and, being INSCRIPTIONS and deter
mined, is generally considered as being very
dangerous, and.was nosdoubt taken in the cabi-
net as a compromise with the party to which
ho belongs. 1t is freely conceded on all sides
that, until President Solomon dies or is sue
ceoded, there can be no hope of permanent
peace in Haytf.

but five or six. You dimocrats hain't got no

and Horace Greedy were never so great, so
noble as when they stood by and defended JEFF
ferson Davis in his prison life. Grant was never
greater than when he refused General Lees
sword and paroled his army. The New York
World recently said some kind, considerable
words about Mr.. Davis and his S0th birthday.
Those words touched the southern heart and
revived our slumbering hopes of a reconcilia-
ton. We wish that it would come, for we are
tired-tired of this perpetual strife. What we
need is to become acquainted. Every northern
man who comes south and stays with us awhile
makes friends and becomes, as it where, one,of
us. Why, there is Governor Bullock who came
back under a cloud and is still a republican,
and yet he moves in the best society of Atlanta
and is doing more in our defense by his admir-
able letters to the northen press than thou
sand democrats could do. And so let us have
as much as we can. We have been very for
tuDate Sof late; we have escaped tie trickery
of Blaine and the malgnity OF Sherman, and
are thankful. Ben Harrison is old Virginia
stock and it is reasonably expected will behave
himself honorably during the canvass. He

pose is the development Of visions by thought

Early in the month a member declared that he
saw in the crystal the outlines of a human form
exactly like Stokes's tossing wildly about on o
sick bed Another member saw II coffin, and
third the letter IS" They then knew these
signs were premontions of misfortune TO DR.
Stokes. AS if to justify this opinion a fourth
member, who Is an astrOlogiSt, searched for the
doctors horoscope in his book and found that
June would be dangerous month for him,
and cautioned tho doctor to beware of in
fictitious diseases.
Previous to this the doctor called on lady
friend on Beacon street who is n member of
the brotherhood. AS he entered, dressed in
black, she says she saw his double walking be-
