A CABINET DOWNFALL.
The Resignation of the Haitian Ministry.
How 1t Occurred.

PORT AU PRINCE, August 15.-The
resignation of the Cabinet yesterday was
owing to the failure Of the Chambers to
grant concession for the construction
Of telegraph line. The Cabinet had
made this government question, and
as the Chambers rejected the proposition
by decisive majority, they at once
placed their designations in the hands
of the President.
Hippolyte has not yet decided whom
he will select for the vacant places, but
is canvasSing the situation carefully. He
does not think the designations will have
much political effect. The downfall Of
the Cabinet has been the principal topic
Of conversation in political circles, and
much curiosity is manifested with ref
erence to the Presidents selection Of a
new MINISTRY.
But the city remains entirely tranquil
so far as one can see. II the disaffected
element has any notion Of taking advan-
tage OF the present crisis to improve its
position it is working so secretly that
nothing appears on the surface.

WAS 1T WORTH WHILE &?
Nslg York Advertiser

Ne1D York AdDeTttSer
The old man sat at eve in his chair,
Where his clerks had left him alone;
His cheeks were plowed with burrows OF care,
Thin were the locks OF his snow white hair,
And weary eyes under them Shone.
The walls with rows of ledgerS were lined
library dear TO his heart.
They told of years TO Mammon consigned,
To toll that left no room in the mind
For beauties Of natures and art.
His gospel was TO lose not an hour
In ''saunterings idle and vain"
To him the perfume sweet Of flower,
A song, a rainbow after a shower,
Weighed naught in the balance with gain.
At Charity's call sometimes he gave,
And he wished all evil TO shun;
But dwarfed his life 10 that Of slave,
Losing its best TO scrape and TO save
The wealth that might ruin his son.
What paid lost bets on the trickster's horse,
And bought the gems shining among
Those satinS and silks on yonder course!
And why the cloud of shame and remorse
On that dulled face, old and so young?
Wherein do those iOx-eyed gamblers feed?
From whose hoard comes the prize-ring's
stake?
Does the old man in his grave heed
That he labOred such social poisons to breed
And starved his own life for rake?

fraid Of differing from others, he is
frequently tempted to assent TO what

innocent person slandered, and can,
not find the courage to defend him;
or he does not dare to refuse re-.

dangerous, or even wrong, after o
period Of weak hesitation, he grants

wine against his convictions, or TO
join in some adventure which he dis
approves--to go bail for one he does
not trust, or TO lend money which Is
not his own. Perhaps he will refrain
from consulting the ablest physician
or lawyer through fear Of offending
some other whom he knows, or will
give some Office of trust to the one
