Statements Of Legitimists.
NEW YORK, June 26.-The steamer
Prins Wilhelm. from Port-au- Prince,
which arrived here to-day, brings among
her passengers several friends of Le-
gitime. including General La Forest,
Military Governor of Po1t-au-Prince;
Mr.. Preston, son of Minister Preston,
and N. Leon Hutinot, Chancellor of the
French Legation at Port-au-Prluce.
General La Forest said: II am the Mill.
tary Governor of Port-au-Prince, and |
left the city in a normal aud healthy
condition, both physically and morally.
Hippolyte wasn't in town, and just be-
fore l left l made tour through my
district, which embraced a circuit of
thirty miles around Port -au-Prince, and
l did not discover Hippolyte there
either. He's in the North somewhere. E."
General La Forest is on his way to
Paris as commissioner to the exposition.
NJ. Hutlnot has dispatches addressed 10
the Minister of Foreign Affairs in
France. Mr.. Stephen Preston is en-
route to Germany on ''secret" mission
to ask Germany, in behalf of Legitime,
it is said, for assistance against Hippo
lyte. He leaves. here on Saturday.
The situation in Hayti is about the
same as it was eight months ago." said
Mr.. Preston. ''Legitime is still in pos
session of Port-au- Prince, and any one
that says that the city has been besieged
lies. Hippolyte has never been within
fifteen miles of the city. We have lost
in the North through the cowardice of
General Piquant. The steamships Ca
roudelet and Mercedes of Hippolyte's
navy are in a very bad condition. They
have been chased many times by our
boats. We are expectinga new steamship
from Spain. 1t should be at the Port
by this time. Legitime is still certain
of success.

Picture Of the President.

President Harrison is peevish and
fretful, and if all the stories told here
are true he has said some tart things to
the politicians who have been thronging
the White House. He isn't man of ro-
bust health like Mr.. Cleveland. The
present Executive Is thin and looks
careworn. Many people do not think
be can stand the strain to the end Of his
term if he is not more careful of his
health. Cleveland is fat and ponderons,
but he is a stolid, stubborn man that
neither hard work nor strife can effect.
He was able to stand the strain that was
put upon him, and left the White House
IN Just as good if not better health than
when he entered it. Washington Letter.

Sound Advice to the Girls.

The New York Herald quotes from a
baccalaureate sermon at FaSsar College
as follows: ITO become what you should
you must build your lives on the broad
lines of duty and adds: And above
all things get married. Don't let po-
lemics or transcendentalism take the
place of substantial JOY. 1t is better
to know how to win and keep the love
of good man than to trace the human
amily back to protoplasm.'

GrnftinS Part of a Nerve.

An interesting surgical operation is report
ed in England. The patient had small
tunor in a large nerve on the arm. In re-
moving it some of the nerve was itself un-
avoidably taken away, causing a loss Of SEN
sation in those portions Of the skin to which
the nerve led. The surgeon, nothing daunted,
performed a second operation forty-eight
hours after the first. He then took piece of
healthy nerve from leg he had just ampu-
tated and patched up the injured nerve with
it. In thirty-six hours sensation returned,
and the subsequent progress Of the patient
gave evidence Of complete recovery.-New
