The Haitian Army.

Ignorance and vanity are the pre-
vailing traits of the Haitian soldier,
from general to private, and indeed
are marked characteristics Of vast
majority of the people. The aver
age Haitian is an African savage
with a French veneer. The Minister
of War, in report on the army pub
lished in 1867, placed its numerical
strength at 10000 men, of which
number 1880 were general officers,
staff and regimental officers, and
$500 were private soldiers. AS each
revolution brings forth fresh batch
of officers and kills off a number of
private soldiers, the proportion of
officers to privates has not been ma
terially changed. The nominal pay
of private is $I2 year, but even
this amount cannot always be col
lected from the paymaster. BY an
order of President Hippolyte no reg
iment is permitted tc remain in the
same post for a longer period than
one month, for fear that the soldiery
may conspire against the govern
ment with disaffected civilians.

nine men ont of ten sleep on their

Chat, l think, accounts for the
hair parting, because the warmth OF

A WESTERN EDITOR.

A sullen looking man with a horse
whip entered a Nebraska newspaper
office and asked the boy where the
editor was. The boy "sized him up
and answered:
"Gone to Ohio, won't be back for
six months"
"Where's the foreman?"
"He's gone to Washington with
an invitation from the President.
Won't be back fore cold weather.
What do you want-wan't to para

"No, no; I owe 81 and thought I'd

crawling out of the wood box and
the editor was ready for business.

A SINGING REBUkE.
The Young Man Wishes That He
Hadn't Been Quite SO Fresh

It was early in the forenoon, and
the car was on its way down town,
says the Boston SATURDAY Eventng
Gazette. 1t goes without saying,
therefore, that most of its occupants
were business men en- route to their
Offices.
But on this particular morning
there was a pleasing innovation in
the form of a pretty girl, faultlessly
attired from the top Of her bonnet to
to the tips of her dainty shoes. She
had jumped on the car in a great
hurry, apparently and was busily
engaged in pulling on pair of long
suede gloves, which she proceeded
to button with that indispensable
adjunct to woman's toilet, a hair
pin. This article proved refractory
after a moment (don't re all know
that they are possessed by denion1
and few from her fingers. 1t landed
at the feet of the young man beside
her; he picked it up, and instead of
returning it to her, gently took her
wrist in his left hand and calmly
continued the buttoning process.
Every man in the car had been
watching the pretty girl, some open.
ly, others furtively from behind their
newspapers. Now all the papers
dropped; every one looked aghast
and pazed at the pretty girl to see
what she would do. She did moth
ing. Not muscle moved, and she
showed no consciousness of what
was going on.
The young man, with a conscious
look of triumph, finished his pleas
ant task, and the girl, with preoc-
cupied air, and not a glance in his
direction, opened her pocket-book,
took out nickel and placed it in his
hand! His expression changed with
lightning rapidity, the color came
into his face, and he quickly muir
INJURED what was evidently an apollo
gy. She listened with willfully
misleading air, and handed him
another nickel. BY this time his
face had become scarlet, and he be-
gan another low toned but earnest
Profession. The calm, cool, and
collected young lady signaled the
conductor, and, as she rose to de-
part, said in clear, distinct tone,
audible to every one in the car:"No,
l can not. I never give more than
dime for having my gloves but
toned or my boots blackened!"

cream like a good girl.
"But I don't want it, she walled.
"Why, deary must be sickp
"No, no; Matte ant sick; she
don't want no cream"
Matte is bad girl" frowned
the old man, as people commenced
to look around. "Mattie does want

With that she pushed her chair
back, slid to the floor, and ran out
the front door as fast as her little
legs could carry her.
Half-stunned with amazement the
old man tottered to his feet and
started in pursuit, blanched with ap-
prehension. AS he passed the pro-
prietor he whispered hurriedly:

fled that man that there was insanity

One blazing day in August rural
twain had wandered down by the
bean-lot, says the Detroit Free Press.
The bean-lot was plat of smooth,
beaten earth where castor beans
were spread to be husked by Old
Sol. Pop, pop, poppety, pop, pop
came the merry sound of the beans
as they broke out of their burrs, and
the love-lorn swain suggested that
they sit in shade where they could
hear the bean-lot artillery.

the beans popped encouragingly.

And Zeke with a mighty effort
suffered out:

Zeke was understood and the cas-
torbeans ratified merrily as Liz
named the day.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER
A Little Girl Who Couldn't be In
duced to Eat lce-Cream.


duced to Eat lce-Cream.
An aged man and a little sunny
haired girl entered an cream par
lor on Fourth street, says the Gin
cinnati Commercial Gazette, and
seated themselves at table, where
two plates of e-cream were soon
set before them. The little girl had
evidently never eaten the delicacy
before, and while she approached
the strange eatable cautiously the
old man waded into his with the air
of veteran, all the while watching
his small companion with deep in
terest.
She took small spoonful and put
it in her mouth.
Her blue eyes popped and she
dropped her spoon.
"Oo-oo-ooo It's cold!" she
hoarsely whispered.
eyes, deary, it's nice and cold.
Go on and eat it; it's good for
dearys health"
She took another small taste and
managed to gulp it down with
startled air.
ooh, it's too cold, granpa," she
whispered again.
ooh, no, deary; it is just right;
go on, deary; you will soon learn to
love it.
Another small spoonful went into
the little mouth.
"Ouch! granpa, it hurts my teeth"
ooh, no, deary; you only think
so; but it doesn't, y know"
Trusting in her grandparents
judgment the little miss tried once
more-a large, heaping teaspoonful.
She laid her spoon down slowly and
put her little hands to her throat.
"But it hurts my neck inside,
grandpa!"
ooh, you really can't mean that,
deary-such good ice cream-im-
possible! Why, it is very delicious.
Go on, deary; eat it all. Granpa
paid 10 cents for it, and you mustn't
waste it.
With a resigned air remarkable in
one so young the spoon again started
on its rounds-one, two, three.
Ow-w-w! Grandpa, it makes my
head ache so hard!"
"Pshaw! deary, don't act SO like
little baby. You know you like it.
Eat it all up, deary. It can't give
you the headache-such fine, delic-
ious ice cream. Ridiculous, deary!"
Four, five, six spoonfuls. Then
she laid the spoon down with a start
led little squeal, and, clasping her
dimpled hands across the pit of her
little abdomen, doubled up like a
jackknife.
boo hoo! Grandpa, it makes
Mattie's stummick hollerr"
With an astonished look the old
man reached over and tasted the
cream. It was perfect. Then he
looked at the weeping child half
s.ernly.
There, there, now, deary, don't
make scene here, before all the la
dies, that's a good girl; don't act
naughty now, or grandpa will have

Sermons That Are Remembered.

l have listened TO many eloquent,
many striking, many admirable SER
mons. have forgotten, suppose, some
five or six thousand sermons-forgotten
all about them so completely that they
have not left trace in the memory,
though at the time they may have had
their ininitesimal influence for good on
the life of every day. But of the re-
mainder there were some which left
deeper and indeed lifelong impressions.
OF one of them, heard when l was boy
of II. remember nothing but the man
ner in which for all time it impressed
the text itself upon my recollection.
The text was, LAS the grass growing
upon the housetops, which withereth
afore it be plucked up, whereof the
mower filleth not his hand, neither he
that bindeth up the sheaves his bosom. 8"
Perhaps a sermon can produce no better
effect than TO burn into the brain the
force or the imagery of a particular
text. remember how much longed,
after hearing that sermon, that my life
might never be represented by such an
image of utter uselessness-the rank,
coarse grass upon the thatch, which the
mower and reaper alike despise Canon

ThorouChbred Hors,es in Battle.

"When | went to the war in 1861" said
Senator Wade Hampton, 81 took with me
three thoroughbred st; illions that were
worth princes rans,>n One was as
black as night, one WAS a dark chestnut,
and the other was chestnut sorrel. You
are perhaps aware that my father was not
only a noted importer of running horses,
but famous breeder of the thoroughbred
as well.
az rode the black stallion at the first Bull
Run battle, where | commanded the Hamp-
ton legion, comprised of infantry, cavalry
and artillery. At the famous cavalry fight
at Brandy station with P4easonton in 1868
l rode the chestnut. He was hard horse
to control in charge, and he nearly carried
me into the enemy's lines on that day
twice. l rode the chestnut sorrel at the
great cavalry fight in the rear Of Mead's
army on the third day at Gettysburg, and
came near meeting the same fate as that
escaped from at Brandy station a few
weeks previous.
MY experience with thoroughbresls is in
time of war that they are safer horses to
get away from the enemy with than when
you are going toward him, especially when
en- a gallop But when it comes TO endur-
ance one thoroughbred will kill three cold
blooded horses in a campaign. They will
go further with less food, 90 faster, and
show more courage in the face Of danger.
] have ridden the stations | mention into
federal batteries, and they never once
finched. All of them were wounded three
or four times. but they pulled through. -
