HONESTY REWARDED.

Some time ago a wealthy man
died in Brussels, leaving nearly his
entire fortune to young woman
who was entirely unacquaintod with
MIN. The American Art Printer
explains that this is how it came to
pass. He was very eccentric man,
and set out, like Diogenes, in search
of an honest man. His tub was an
omnibus, and his lanterns small
coin. In the omnibus he used to
take his seat every day near the
conductor, and always showed him
self very obliging in passing up the
money of passengers and returning
the change, but to the latter he al
ways managed to add a franc or
half franc. Then he would watch
those to whom it came. They would
count it carefully, notice the ex-
ira coin, and invariably slip it into
their pockets. No one thought OF
the poor conductor, whose meagre
salary of three francs a day could
i'll support such loss. But at last
young woman passed hers. back
with, Conductor, you have given
me half franc too much" Do
genes, delighted, followed her home,
made inquiries, and, as the answers
were satisfactory, made his will in
her favor, though he never gave
her warning that her half franc was
going to bring her halt a million.

IMMIGRNTS OF RIGHT SORT.

The efforts to attract white immi-
grafton to Alabama promise excel
lent success. One party Of twenty
farmers from Nebraska and Iowa
recently arrived in Montgomery.
They have all purchased farms in
Alabama and intend to make that
state their permanent home. They
are well-to-do men. This one party
will add materially to the real
wealth of the state, and, we have no
doubt, they are but the pioneers of
large movement of emigrants from
the bleak northwest to more pleas
ant locations in the Southern states.
Indeed, they say that they know of
hundreds of western men who con-
template moving to the South.
Many letters OF inquiry have been
received in different parts of Ala
bama from farmers in the north and
and northwest who contemplate
moving to that state. The exam
pie Of Alabama in encouraging en-
igration of this sort should be
limited by every state in the south.

RETROGRADING.
RUINED BY FMKBoM.
A correspondent Of the New

A correspondent Of the New
York SuA furnishes some interest
ing facts about Hayti.
Long years ago Hayti was the most
fourishing colony in the Antilles.
The white planters owned marble
country houses and fine town man
sions. The blacks were we'll taken
care Of as slaves, and their work,
uader the intelligent direction Of
their masters, was very productive.
With freedom came different
state Of affairs. The whites left.
and the blacks tried the expert
ment OF self-government. The
country is new reduced to poverty,
the cities are ruinsd, and many OF
the great plantations are abandoned.
The annual experts have fallen
from $50, 700, 900 TO SIS, 100000
The Inhabitants are about az ig-
norant Is they we're in the days OF
slavery. They have lest what little
religion they had, and prae.ice the
rites of voudeoism, including can't
balism. The roads are in sach a
bad condition that passengers and
freight have to be carried on the
backs of mules and horses. Revo-
lutions are frequent and destruc
tive, and the government is grow
ing more corrupt.
Undoubtedlyssthe blacks of Hayti
have been ruined by freedom and
the withdrawal of the whites.
Emancipation alone would not have
reduced them to their present con-
dition if superior race had re-
NAMED in their midst to control
them, but they have shown that by
themselves they cannot progress
and prosper.
The history of Hayti is full of in
structive lessons, and the students
of the race problem cannot afford
to pass them by.-Atlanta Consti-

HIGH JINKS IN COURT.
Grave Justices Of the Supreme Bench
Lose Their Dignity.

WASHINGTON, December 20.
There was n scene of tlerriment in
the Supreme Court yesterday when
the appeal in a case involving the
validity of patent for a patch in.
tended to reinforce drawers 10 the
crotch came up for argument. The
case was appealed from the United
States District Court at Richmond,
Va, where Judge Hughes, in an
opinion remarkable for its levity, had
! said:
sit strikes me that patent for a
| patch upon drawers, designed to
remedy the evils Of rip and tear to
which they are liable IN the crotch,
ought never to have been granted,
interfering as it must necessarily do
with the prerogative of the house.
wives of the civilized world to patch
the drawers Of their husbands,
fathers snd sons freely in their own
way, with no patentee to modest or
make them afraid. AS to\the dis
orders of mems drawers in and near
the crotch, which have troubled
housewives for centuries, ! do not
think any persons in our day and
generation can employ patch for the
purpose of preventing or curing them
that can have any real novelty"
John S. Wise, counsel for the APP
pelIant, dilated upon this opinion at
length, warning the Justices of the
Importance Of the case to the femi.
nine portion of the community, and
of the wrath that was impending over
; them. Concluding he said the case
5 resembled the game of faro.
"There is this difference, how
ever" said the speaker. SIN faro
the dealer gets all the splits, and in
this the splits are all against the
dealer" At this sally the Court lost
all likeness to its usually serious and
a digni6ed air. Chief Justice Fuller
y could not restrain himself, and nearly
t fell out OF his chair. Justice Harlan''
