A Threatened Rebellion in the Haytian Re-
public

n AHIedIeEeu AeDeIllon IN Ine may tAdA AN0-
public.
New YORK, May 19-Latest advices
from Hayti state that martial law
has been proclaimed in Port-au-Prnce
Armed soldiers latrol the streets night
and day, and no one is allowed
to enter or leave the city without a
passport. The Haytian capital is literally
iu a state of siege. The cause of this c0ndi-
ton of affairs is the agitation caused by the
supporters of General Legitime, the deposed
President. For months the supporters OF
Legitime have been actively engaged in stir
ring up feeling against the present Ad-
ministration. The depOsed President who
is now sOj0urning in Jamaica, has, il is said,
been regularly posted in the work Of his
secret emissares. President HippOlyte,
however, has not been mapping, and he is
now determined to nip the threatened up
rising i'll the bud and at the same time, II
possible, bring the guilty ones to justice.
This news has been contained in letters
received by merchants engaged in HIytian
trade in New York. The exact day at
which martial law was proclaimed in the
Haytian capital has not been given. 1t is
also announced that Firmn. the Minister of
Finance aud Foreign Affairs in President
HippOlyte's Cabinet, has resigned, though no
explanation of his conduct is given. Ihe
report that any attempt has been made on
the life of President Hippolyte is absolutely
denied.

Houdin,s wonderfuI 1Temorv,

The magician Houdin had one of the most
wonder ful local memories ever known. He
could go into room, turn round and walk
out Immediately without even pauSing, but
from the brief glance he took of his sur
roundiugs he could mention and afterward
describe every. article of interest in the
apartment. His memory was not natural
gift, but the result of careful training. He
and his son would practice every day by
walking past a shOw-window filled, for in
stance, with toys and notions. They would
60 rapidly by, each taking single glance.
and after they were past would stop and
compare notes as to what they nad seen. So
expert did they become in this exercise that
either would frequently be able to give the
names and describe the positions of forty or
more articles seen in th6 window at a single
glance, and hOudin used to say that the
Triumph OF his life in this line was the emu
meratiOn of sixty-three articles which he
remembered having seen as he passed the
window OF jewelry-Store on Broadway,
