Affairs at Port-au-Prince.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Jan. 1S.-The steamship
Haytien Republic was run into by the Hay
tien gunboat Novelle Voldrogue on the night
of December 20, inflicting but slight injuries
to either vessel. The Hayten gunboat was
entering the harbor ut full speed and could
have steamed to her anchorage without any
change of course, but when within 200 yards
of the Haytien Republic her helm was sud
denly put to port and remained so until
she struck that vessel. The gunboat
was hailed, but no answer was made,
neither did her captain attempt to ascertain
the amount of damage done or offer assist
ance. After ascertaining the damage done
the Gaena sent an armed boats crew to the
offending gunboat, where the statement was
made that ethe jamming of the tiler
ropes was the cause of the collision. 1t is the
opinion that it was deliberate attempt to
sink the released ship 1t is a question
whether the scheme was by other authority
than the captain of the gunboat.
The board of the Galena's officers met
next day and demand for an investigation
was made upon the Haytien government.
These reports will be considered and redress
demanded.
Upon the return of the Galena from King
ston, Jamaica, on January Admiral Luce
notified the HaytIen government that he
considered the blockade of all the northern
ports voluntarily raised because of the de-
sertion of their post by all the blockading
squadron. He wrote to Secretary Whitney
that in case of the illegal seizure of any other
American vessels he would demand their

The Two. Wine Theory.

Here are few sentences, quoted from the
Christian IilteIIfoencer. the organ of the Re-
formed Church, which we indorse and COM
mend: In a recent pamphlet in favor of what
is called "The Two-Wine Theory" it is said that
1t seems especially unfortunate for the Chris
tian church that clergymen possessing such an
extremely superficial knowledge of the wine
question as whole or of its Biblical, historical
scientific and medical aspects, and of we'll es-
tablished facts, as is manifested in the writings
of Rev. Drs. Jewett, Ten Eyck and other advo-
Gates of fermented wine as a communion wine,
should write upon this great practical ques-
ton, which so intimately involves the welfare
of the church and our race" There is mis-
fortune In the case. but it lies in just the other
direction. 1t is that of the small knot of well
meaning men who, on this point. SET themselves
against the conclusions of scholars, travellers
and experts of all classes and cree6s who main
tain that in Scripture and out of it wine is wine,
l. e., product OF vinous fermentation. II it be
anything else then that differentia is appropri-
ately stated in the title. Otherwise the estab-
lished use of the word remains. Nor is it men
of superficial knowledge who say this. but life
long students and men not biased by their hab-
Its or their preiudices, who. therefore, have no
personal interest or task to lead them astray.
If they be right, and we think they are, il is 3

The Georgia Liar Outdone by One From
Kentucky-He Deserves n Medal.
Hanging in barn in Old Pineville, three
miles from here, says PIneville, KY, spe-
cial to the st. Louis Republic, is the. most
marvellous freak of nature ever heard of or
seen. Its existence, however, is vouched for
by James P. Whallen and Joseph Leahy,
of Louisville.
1t is we'll known that when crlcumbers
are first cut from the vine there is piece of
the stem which exudes or bleeds. A promi-
nent citizen of Old Pineville some time ago,
named Jared Gibson, cut his hand, and this
juice got into this cut and his hand COM
menced to infame, and an eruption similar
to erysipelas made its appearance and ex-
tended up his arm, and finally spread over
his whole body. Strange 10 say, there was
no pain attending these eru'ptions of erysipe-
las, and he continued to gather and pack
the cucumbers and prepare them for pick
ling.
To the great surprise of everybody, these
little pimples assumed The appearance and
form of small cucumbers, and continued to
grow. Although Gibson kept we'll and
hearty, he was compelled to stop work and

draw them all to one head: another said
they ought to be scattered. All the doctors
had different remedy, but all disagreed, so
there was som hope that the patient would
get we'll. BTIt the small cucumbers grew
into big ones, and his whole body was COW
cred with tn lem from head 10 foot, and they
commenced to ripen and turn yellow and
hang down, and the man looked like a huge
bunch of bananas.
When they got ripe they began to shrivel
up and dry, and 80 did the man. His sap
was all gone, and he died. The doctors pro-
cured the consent Of his widow to permit an
autopsy to be made for the benefit Of science,
and they cut him open, and to their amaze
ment found no blood, no muscles, no sinews,
no arteries, but found only one solid mass of
cucumber seeds. 1t was so remarkable it
would be useless to have his remains in
tered, and foolish to have them cremated,
and the widow concluded to keep them in
tho house. She had the corpse hung up by
the hair in the barn, where it now swings,
an inanimate evidence of what nature can
clio when she takes notion.

TRANSMISSION OF TERROR.
A Wonderful Story of Flock of Geese Told
by a Foreign PAPER,

wonderful Story of a Flock of Geese Told
by Foreign Paper.
A correspondent Of the ReUue Scientifque
vouches for the following story: For about
20 years he was in the habit of visiting two
or three times each year farm where was
kept flock of geese, numbering from 30 to
S5 in the early part of the winter, and in the
spring four or five, left for breeding pur-
poses; these also generally being killed a
few months later, after the new broods had
attained their growth.
In the month of July, 1862, on a feast
day, the farmer and his men being absent.
the geese were forgotten, and were attacked
by dogs. which killed the most of them.
The next evening at twilight the farmer
thought they must have been attacked
second time He found them flying about
in their pen, much frightened, but the dogs
were nowhere to be seen. The next day this
terror reappeared at the same hour, as it did
on the following day and from that time on.
y The correspondent of the Revue had for
gotten this fact, when, ten wears later, he
CHANGED to be on the farm one evening and
heard the cackling Of the apparently fright
ened geese. When he asked for an explsna-
ton, he was told that this had been kept up
from the time they had been attacked by the
dogs, that there had been no repetition of
the attack, and that the flock had been
times. If this story is well authenticated,
we have a case of the transmission Of terror

two men more fond of each other than
Hibornus and Handy, the master and the
servant.
Handy had been a poor boy when the
giant took him into service. He was a poor
boy from the day of his birth, because he
soon became an orphan, and an aunt of his
took charge oi him until he grew up. Dur
ing the time Handy lived with his aunt he
had very hard road to travel, because his
aunt had boy of her own. Now, it hap
pened that Handy was fine, healthy and
good-looking child, but his cousin poor,
miserable mortal. He was all right in
health and strength, but he was surly, ill
tempered and domineering in the extreme.
This, however, was his mothers fault, be-
cause from the very day Hilborn, that was
the boys name, had been born, his mother
tried everything in the world to spoil her
boy. EVERYBODY had to give way to his will,
and whatever be wanted had to be done at
the sacrifice of everything and everybody.
1t is quite natural that Bandy suffered
more on this account than anybody else.
Sometimes he had Hilborn's toys, then he
was sitting in his chair, then he had his ap-
pie then Hilborn wanted this and again he

The Trial of Christ.

The International Sunday school lesson for
to-day relates TO the trial Of Jesus by the coun-
Gil of the Jews. 1t should be taught and studied
with awe. AS Canon Luckock remarks: 1--WE
should take off the shoes from our feet when
we stand on this holy ground, and witness the
trial of Him before whose tribunal we shall all
stand at last, with reversed positions" This
judicial procedure has been thoroughly an
alyzed by Prof. Greeneaf, of Harvard, in his
remarkable treatise ON "The Trial of Jesus"
He says: Throughout the whole course of
the trial, the rules of the Jewish law of
procedure were grossly violated, and the
accused was deprived of rights belonging even
to the meanest citizens. He was arrested in
the night, bound as malefactor, beaten before
His arraignment, and struck in open court dur
ing the trial. He was tried on feast day and
before sunrise. He was compelled to crimlnate
himself, and this under an oath Of solemn
judicial adjuration; and He was sentenced on
the same day of the conviction. In all these
particulars the law was wholly disregarded."

BILE POISONED BLOOD,

Nearly every one is occasionally troubled
with bilious attacks, more especially in the
spring months, after the system has been sur
feited with hearty food during the winter. The
action of the Liver is interfered with. causing
an overflow of bile into the blood. The blood
carries this bile into every part of the system,
causing yellow skin, yellow eyes, liver spots,
etc, and often serious cases Of bilious fever
originate from this bile poisoned blood. A
few doses of Burdock Blood Bitters, taken on
appearance of bilious symptoms, will remove
them and protect the system from a probable
serious attack.
