dustry OF home build Of which most OF the
people of the United States ara ignorant, and
which il would be better for them IN many
WAYS, especially the people in country places
and in moderate or less than moderate cir
-uustances, If they knew, and knew how TO
apply TO their own necessities and for
heir own comfort. These things re-
late to form, materials, processes OF
construction. adap1ability to climate, and
every day conveniences, economy, health,
durability, sociality ana attractlveness. A
fair consideration Of how, and with what
means, comfortable and neat dwelling places
are usually built By our opanlsh-American
neighbors may, therefore, be q practical
value 90 our own people.
Some Of the most striking differences
between cur homes and those Of cur
neighbors ara these: Outside OF our cities
our dwellings are principally constructed Of
wood, and in our cities Of brick; our walls
are usually thin, even where we have ex-
tremes Of heat and cold; we have cellars
for tie storage Of al sorts O. articles more
or less perishable, and we live over these
Cellars; we put frequently more cost upon
outside embellishments than upon those

than pleasure and comfort to family and
friends; and with Us that house which has
hut one story, even in the country, is passed
es rarely worthy Of consideration Of what it
may contain. But although wood IS abund-
ant around our Spanisn-Araerican neighbor,
he does rot build Of it nor of bricks Of clay
in city or country; the walls Of his house are
thu, and SO are cool IN a hot country and
warm where it is cold; he never mas a cellar
beneath him; the exterior OF his house usually
is plain one compared with any OF ours,
class for class; and as rule, even in cities,
it has but a single story, Or at most two
under certain cirCuInsts Eces, as where land
is dear and much room - required There IS
little danger OF mistaking the house OF
wealthy Spanish-Anerican for a public

The Bombardment Of Cape Haytian.

The Bombardment Of Cape Haytian.
THE SAGINAW LEFT THAT PoRT BRFoRR THE
FIRING WAS REsUMED.
The State department has been informed by
the q. 8. consul at Cape Haytian, Hayti,
nder date Of December s. written Just 40
the 8. 8. Saginaw was leaving, that az
ter an absence Of ten days the
Haytian steamer Toussaint rOuverture ap-
peared Oh that city Monday morning. Dec.

consular corps Immediately protested against
this action, and upon receipt Of this protest
the commander Of the vessel granted thirty-six
time would expire ct 6 q. m. ON the 9Th in
stant
According to this account it would have been
impossible for anyone on board the Saginaw to
have witnessed the alleged bombardment, de-
vessel, for the ship left Cape Haytian. accord
ing to the consurs dispatch, during the respite,
and there is no information to the effect that
she returned. A postscript on the dispatch an
nounced that the consul wrote in haste in
order to catch the outgoing ship, and had she
returned he would have undoubtedly taken ad-
vantage OF the fact to send additional infor-
nation. In view Of these facts, therefore, II
would seem as though the graphic description
OF the bombardment, which obtained such
wide publication yesterday morning, was an
board the Saginaw.
THE ACTION OF THE coNsuIs-TusRr WAS NO
BLOCKADE.
The consul has also transmitted copy OF o
certificate, dated November "a, signed by the
consuls Of Austria, Italy, Sweden and Nor
way. Denmark Belgium. Germany, Spain, Do
minican Republic, and the United States, at
Cape Haytian. to the effect that that port has
never been effectively blockaded since October
%, when Haytian war steamer came in sight
for the purpose Of blockading.
They further state that no steamer had been
stationed off that port, according to the pre-
scription of maritime international law but
has always been cruising from there to Fort
Liberty and beyond, which was not considered
an efficient blockade, but it nevertheless in
terfered with the legitimate trade of neutrals,
owing to notice sent by the authorities at
Port-au-Prince to this government that they
had blockaded the port Of Cape Haytian. Since
the 23d of November to the date Of the certif-
cate no blockading vessel had been seen in
those waters. Furthermore. eight barks and
two schooners have entered Cape Haytian
since the fictitious blockade

Sudden Death Of a Government Clerk.
ROBERT p. BARBOUR VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE.
MIR. Robert P. Barbour. a clerk in the Second
Auditors Office, died suddenly in Shoomaker's
restaurant last evening. He went there early
in the evening and met some friends, with
whom he converted some time. There was
crowd Of persons in the saloon, discussing poll
tics and the holidays. Barbour had but little
TO say. After being seated at one OF the tables
for more than an hour he arose and took seat
nearer the stove. He sat there long time,
apparently asleep. One Of his friends dropped
in during the evening. and, seeing Barbour, he
suggested to the bartender that some one take
his watch and chain from him for safekeeplng.
This the bartender declined to do, saying ne
did not care to put his hands in anybody's
pocket. The bartender then suggested to the
friend that he relieve Barbour of his valuables
but the latter gave the same reason for not
wanting to do so. Barbour sat so long without
moving that the bartender walked over to
arouse him, and much to his surprise discov-
cred that Barbour was dead Physicians were
sent for. Drs Neale and Leach were the first
to respond. They examined the body, and were
of the opinion that Barbour had been dead
some time Heart disease, they thought, was
the cause of death. DR.. Hartgan soon arrived
and gave permission for the removal of the
body, which was turned over to friends of the
deceased. and conveyed to Gawler's undertake
ing establishment. Barbour was about fifty
years old He came here from Michigan, where
he was well-known in Masonic circles After
being prepared for burial. the body was re-
moved to the residence Of DR.. r. H. Evans, No.

Dissecting the Dead Elephant.

The work of removing the skin from the re-

winter quarters Of Adam Forepaugh, at Phila-

G. E. Mirquet, taxidermist, Of Rochester, yes
terday, in the yard in the rear Of the biological
department of the University of Pennsylvania.
Several barrels of embalming fluid were in
jected into the carcass after the body had been
raised i'll the air by tackle suspended from a
big cross-bar. shed will be constructed over
the body, and after the skinning process is
completed the work of dissection viii be com.

will be occupied in cutting the carcass up, and
it will be fully two years before . report Of the
observations will be made by the staff Of sur
geons who are to conduct the operations. As
the dissection progresses, drawings will be
made of the different parts, and the skeleton
will be joined and set up in the college mu-

How She Found Her.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
There is very charming actress on the stage
whose husband, being a handsome leading man,
is naturally supposed to be up to great many
firtations. She is one Of those bright, witty
women Of the world who are rare. She has chill
dren, and is devoted to them and to her hus-
band. She calls the children acts, and when
she wants them to go to bed she says: -.
"Come, time to ring down, little acts"
town, and the pupils of some dramatic school
had volunteered for supers. Among them
were some very pretty girls Of good families,
and, of course, the handsome leading man was
accused Of flirting. They were chatting about
it one evening at supper after the performance,
and one young lady of the company ventured
to suggest that a certain young pupil among
the supers was the one who was most in love
with him.
"ColdI' said the leading mans wife.
Then she began quietly guying each one OF
the young lady supers separately. She had
gone through four or five without word from
her husband, when, as she began on new one,
he looked up and said:
.Now, my dear, you are talking nonsense"
"There," she said pointing her finger at him,
II know the woman; thought I'd find out"
Crude Petroleum for Locomotive Fuel.
From the Pittsburg Times.
That crude petroleum would some day be-
come one Of the great fuels Of the world there
has not been much reason to doubt since ex-
periments in that line were first attempted.
While these attempts have been more or less
unsuccessful, something has been learned
every time. II the statement that ON one of
the Ohio railroads a few days since a success
full test with locomotive (86 miles for As
cents) was made is correct, the success Of Pc
troleum as fuel is at hand. Similar expert
ments have for some time been making in diff
ferent quarters Of the world where oil is abund-
ant. 1t is understood that the tests which were
prosecuted on the Pennsylvania railroad some
time ago were abandoned because it was found
that oil was more expensive than coal. The
Ohio test seems to have abundantly disproved
this. We shall wait for more about this test
with no ordinary interest
