How to Keep the Feet Warm.


Feet may be kept warm in almost any
weather and with any covering. The
method known 10 old lumbermen should
be more generally employed, and would
probably save many a frozen foot.
Take two punches OF common curied
hair as large as the closed fist of the per
son whose feet are TO be kept warm. A
little liberality in the quantity VIII do no
harm. Pull this out and make = pad
large enough 70 cover the sole OF the foot
from heel to toe. 1t must be pulled out
liSht and free from Jumps and lunches.
Put one of these pads in each stocking
next the foot. The quantity Of hair
must depend to some extent on the
looseaeSs of the shoe. But whether
much OF little is used, the object
is TO cover the sole of the foot only with
hair. and prevent the foot from coming in
contact with the stocking. The sides and
top Will then take care of themselves.
The writer has successfully used q bunch
OF hair less than the bulk OF the fingers
Of Que hand. So small a quantity is
likely TO be full Of Jumps, and does not
we'll protect the foot; yet il prevents the
foot from becoming cold enough TO ache.
If curled hair is not to be had, that
which can be combed from the name and
tail OF the horse, or cut or pulled from
the necks and heads OF cattle or other an
finals will answer. When the shoe or
boot is so tight that no space remains for
the hair, remove the stocking and place
the hair on the bottom of the SHOE.

Rarhnrio Harti Negroes.

Hayti has for nearly a century been
black independent state. The negro race
have had it to themselves and have not
been interfered with. They were equipped,
when they started on their csreer OF free
dom, with the Catholic religion, a civilized
language, European laws and manners,
and the knowledge OF various arts and
occupations which they had learned while
they were slaves. They SPEAK French
still; they are nominally Catholic still,
and the tags and rags of the gold lace OF
French civilization continue to cling about
their institutions. But in the heart OF
them has revived the old idolatry Of the
Gold Coast, and in the villages of the in
terror, where they are out of sight and can
follow their instincts, they sacrifice chill
dren in the serpent's honor after the man
ner of their forefathers. Perhaps nothing
better could be expected from liberty
which was inaugurated by assassination
and plumber. Political changes which
prove successful do not begin in that way.

PENSION CASES DECIDED.
Writs of Mandamus Against COmmis
sioner Black Refused by the Court.

In the Court in General Term this morning,
in the case of the United States, ex relatione
Miller, agt Black, commissioner of pensions,
Judge Hagner announced the opinion of the
court refusing to grant a writ of mandamus.
This was an application to have the relator
granted pension of S72 per month under a
law of 1880, and it was alleged that the respon-
dent had not obeyed the decisions of Secretary
of the Interior Teller. The court in review
ing the case, said they found that the respon-
dent had done exactly what had been directed
The court was asked to construe the law of
1880, which provided that all soldiers and sail
ors now on the rolls receiving $50 per month
shall receive S72, to read, '.now entitled" &c
This they decided they could not do, and al
though it was not agreeable to decide a case
which would reduce a pension, the law does
not justify the issuance of a writ Of mandamus
and the order was not made.
In the case of the United States ex rel, M
B. Stevens, against Commissioner Black. and
in the case of the same against Wilson (pen-
sion agent), Judge Hagner also delivered the
opinions refusing the writs. The relators
asked that the agreements they had with GER
tain pensioners for a fee of S25 be transmitted
to the agents, and that the sums be allowed
them. The commissioner refused to approve
the agreements, and it was claimed that the re-
spondent's action was limited only to ascer-
tanning il the agreements we're honestly pro-
cured. The court held that the commissioner
had not exceeded his duty, and there was moth
ing In the cases calling for the action Of the
court.
Mr.. Bigelow for Miller, and Mr. Mussey for
Stevens. stated that they would take the cases
to the Supreme Court of the United States on
writs OF error.

From Wall Street To-Day.

NEw YORK, Feb. lS IL a. m.-The stock mar
ket began the new week with an active but
very unevenly distributed business. although
this lasted only for the space of about half an
hour, when quietness settled down upon the
dealings. First prices showed declines from
Saturdays final figures, extending to = per
cent, and the market was quite feverish i'm
the early trading, some stocks scoring further
slight losses, while others rallied quickly from
the opening depression. Erie, 81. Paul and
Atchison were the leading active shares, but
there a very fair business in most of the
leading stocks, and the weak ones at the opening
rallied and from 10 = per cent. were estab-
lished over the opening prices. Later in the
hour, however, the weak tone reappeared and
the gains were generally neutralized, almost
everything going back 20 first prices. A firmer
tone prevailed toward the end of the hour, and
at III O'Clock the market was fairly active and
rather unsettled at about opening figures.
