The Haytian Trouble.

The latest news from Hayti justifies the
conclusion that the war in that island is
over, and that there will soon be peace in
all parts Of it. Il is not known where Gen.
Legitime is, but it is not believed that he
has yet left Port au Prince, the capital. If
he has not the chances are that he soon will
The war began nearly a year ago. Presi-
dent Solomon left HaYti August 10, 1888,
with all the money he could collect. His
rule had been a long but not very satisfac-
tory one. All parties in Hayti had reached
go, and go quickly. Gen. Thelemaque, with
10000, soldiers was at the gates of Port au
Prince and President Solomon had no
choice. He yielded to necessity.
Immediately after his departure prepare
tons were made for an election Of presi-
dent. Gen. Thelemaque and Gen. Legitime
were the candidates. In the meantime an
election for representatives to a constitu-
tional assembly was held. Before the
election for president came off a riot broke
out in Port au Prince between Gen. Thele-
maque's followers and those of Gen. Leg
itime. Thelemaque was tho candidate of
the north and Legitime of the south. The
former was killed during the riot by a shot
from Calling gun. The north said that
their leader had been assassinated.
Legitime at once prepared to make him.
self president He called together the rep
resentatives of the constitutional assembly
and had himself elected president. The
most of these representatives who were pres
ent were from this south, and hence favored
Legitime. The north refused to accept
Legitime as president, and began operations
to drive him from power. It found an able
general in Hippolyte, and money was soon
provided to purchase arms and ammunition.
1t seems that the north, under Gen. Hip
polyte, has triumphed. 1t is said, however,
that Hippolyte does not want to be presi-
dent. He is coal black negro of about st
years Of age, and possesses ability much
above the average. Candidates for presi-
dent will not be wanting, however, and as
the people have had enough fighting for a
while, it is not improbable that president
Will be elected without great deal Of
trouble.

Loves Bondage Lifted.
From the Nelg YORK. Tribune


They had been engaged week. Together
they had been 70 see Little Lord Fauntleroy,"
and were returning to Brooklyn on bridge
train. When the train stopped Angelina got up
and walked TO the front Of the car, thinking
that Algernon was close behind. Algernon
walked TO the rear door thinking that Angelina
was tripping along at his elbow. Two blank
faces, a nasty search and meeting on the plat
form
4 Thought. Algernon. that of course you
would follow me -
And thought. Angelina, that of course you
would follow me-
Both fell to meditating as they walked down
the passage way and took Kings county ele-
waited train. When Vanderbilt avenue was
passed Angelina at last broke the silence.
"Perhaps-Algernon-we might not
agree. Don't you think you had better take il
back - and she pulled dainty little ring from
her finger.
Algernon hesitated. The train began to
slacken speed for Franklin avenue. Then he
took the ring in an absent minded way as they
both arose; It's so much better" Angelina
added softly, that we should find out in time, s.
and they disappeared through the door.

The Richmond Prophet.

About everybody has heard of the Rev.
John Jasper, of Richmond, Va. The Rev
Jasper is the colored preacher who few
years ago made a reputation for wisdom
among the colored people by the assertion
that the ''sun do move,n his idea being that
the sun goes round the earth daily.
The Rev. Jasper now poses as a prophet.
1t is asserted in dispatches from Richmond
that, two weeks agola Sunday he preached
a sermon on storms, floods and the loss of
life by those agencies, in which he declared
that on Friday, May 81, a great disaster
would occur. 1t is said that he based his
prophecy on a dream.
1t is alleged that good many prominent
people of Richmond heard their colored
servants talking about the Rev. Jasper's
prophecy prior to May 81, and the colored
people of that city looked forward to that
day with good deal of apprehension.
The Rev. Jasper is a great man among
the Richmond colored people. They be-
lieve that he has some gift which enables
him to look into the future. They mention
several of his prophecies which they say
have come true.
The probabilities are, however, that the
Rev. Jasper talked in general way about
storms and floods, and the dangers to be
apprehended from them, and that when the
Conemaugh disaster occurred they jumped
to the conclusion that he predicted it.
Doubtless there are hundreds of colored
people in Richmond who are firmly con-
WINGED that he mentioned May 81 as the
day when there would be great loss OF life
from storms and foods.
1t is rather curious that the remarkable
prophecies and miraculous occurrences
which are narrated in the public prints, or
which are circulated in other ways, do not
bear investigation. They are generally
found to have originated in fertile imagina-
tions, or have such slight foundation in fact
as TO take them out of the realm of the

Two Kinds of Kisses.


"Did you ever notice, my dear bow what n
very radical difference there is III women in the
matter of kiSsing?" said De Lancey Smith to
The Man About Town the other evening The
latter admitted that though be had given the
subject more or less very earnest attention. he
was not prepared to handle it from a
Philosophical standpoint. well, / suppose
not - said De I.ancey land vet any vounfr M
of enterprise with a speculative turn of mind
ought to have noted the fact / speak Of and
learned TO take advantage of it, The subject
was brought to mind by a recent experience
with a young lady-er-a relative, of course
She is one of these petite girls, don't
you know, that are so enticing. with
a small, warm mouth and full red
lips. And when she kisses a man she
wears the shyest, most reluctant air in
the world until just at the supreme moment
when she seems to lose control of herself and
with little bit of sigh and fiutter of the eve
lids, she kisses a fellow squarely on the-er-
right place, and then somehow makes her
escape. Now" said De Lancey waxing slightly
enthusiastic there is a kiss that tingles through
every nerve in the body like an electric shock
and fellow wouldn't part with the memory of
it for fortune But there is another sort of
girl who is different. She may be as pretty as
you like, but her kisses are stale. fat
and improbable. Her lips are thin and cool
and they touch yours with a cool, Unconditional
pressure that is positively CHASTITY and leaves a
man feeling as though he had had bad dream.
One such kiss will do more to destroy man S il
luSions than to be twice Tilted. Then there is
the girl who hutters up under your arm and
says: On! but you really mustn't and then
kisses you herself, as bird pecks at a cherry,
with another hysterical gggle, and then
tremblingly waits for you TO do it again There
isn't much satisfaction in that kind of kiss.
and il betrays a shallow and vapid mind The
kiss first mentioned is the work of a warm
hearted, impulsive, womanly woman, who
would make a good and true wife and mother:
the second betrays the cold-blooded, calculating,
Unconditional woman, whom the average man
would do well to fight shy of. And there are
lots of other kisses, each fully expressive in
their way. There's good deal in a kiss, my

For some time the New York World has
published an occasional letter from Wilkes
county, Georgia. While there are some in
teresting points about the letters, there are
also some very misleading ones. The
Worlds correspondent is probably a
northern man who hasn't been long in the
south. He doesn't understand the southern
people, white or black, and this fact leads
him into some ridiculous statements. He
makes his assertions, however. with the
assurance of one who has lived in the south
all of his life, and who has given years of
study to southern matters. There are
probably great many northern people
who, knowing next to nothing about the
south. are firmly convinced that they know
all that can be learned.

Ex-Minister McLane corroborates previous
statements when he says that the American
exhibit at Paris is not what it should be.
He states, however, that there are many
things in it which are attracting a great
deal of attention. For example, Mr.. Edi
sons electrical exhibit is inspected by nearly
everybody, and is considered not only the
greatest of its kind there, but the most
curious and wonderful thing on exhibition.
American art makes a highly creditable
show, he says, and the finer class of jewelry
exhibited by Americans compares favorably
with that of any European house.

Tho Voolfolk Case.

II is TO be hoped that the Voolfolk case
will be finally settled by the trial that is
now in progress in Perry, Ga The public
is familiar with the main features of it.
Voolfolk, it will be remembered, is charged
with having murdered his father and
mother, his two brothers. four of his sisters
and Mrs. West woman 81 years old-in
all nine persons-in 1887, in Bib county.
He was tried and found guilty in December,
1887, the jury being out only fifteen min
utes A motion for a new trial was denied,
but a new trial was granted by the supreme
court. In March, 1888, the case was again
called for trial, but was postponed When,
shortly afterward, it was called for trial, a
change of venue was granted on the ground
that fair trial could not be had in Bib
county.
The crime was one of the most atrocious
ever committed an this or any other state
The only one in this state of late years
which can begin to approach it in atrocity
is the murder of two white women in Bald
win county by male relative, who was
tried and hung. 1t is impossible to
imagine a more diabolical deed than that
with which Voolfolk is charged
The evidence against Voolfolk is wholly
circumstantial, but it is very strong. OF
course, he asserts that he is innocent, and
it is alleged that he will try to fasten the
crime upon negro man who is now serv-
ing a term in the Alabama penitentary,
and who is said to have threatened to kill
the Voolfolk family bscause of a small
sum of money that was due him by one
member of it.
The people of Perry seem to be compare
lively free from prejudice in the case, and
doubtless Voolfolk will have a fair trial.
