Followers OF Legitme Again Ready for
Rebellion.

A correspondent in Kingston. Jamaica,
writing TO the New York Herald, says
Steamships arriving here within the past few
days from Haiti report that rumors Of i'm
pending revolution are again rife ia the Black
Republic. President Hippolyte is said to
be fully aware of the threatening state Of
affairs and is firmly determined TO meet aud
STAMP out the first sparks Of rebellion that
show themselves.
For long time there has been talk Of an
uprising among the Haitian leaders whom
HIppoyte has exiled. 1t Is said now on the
best OF authority that il will shortly occur
Legitime has lately come into possession OF a
large amount of money. and will freely ex-
pend II TO crafty his ambition and satisfy his
feelings of revenge. His agents are reported
70 be actively engaged securing arms aud
ammunition enllstlng men and fitting out
war vessel.
The Haitian Government is maintaining q
close watch, and its soldiers are ready for any
emergency. la Port-au-prince 1000 troops
are stationed. and force of 1000 extra men
were recently drafted down from the North.
An incident that occurred a few days ago at
Port-au-Prlnce indicates the excitement and
state OF suspense Of Hippolytes troops. The
German man-of-war Moltke steamed into the
harDOr quite Unexpectedly. Immediately a
call 10 arms was issued, under the impression
that the long expected revolution had at
length arrived. The streets swarmed with
soldiers. and it was some time before the
authorities found out their mistake and the
city resumed q peaceful look.
The Haitian eXiles here make no secret Of
their belief that the uprising Is near at hand.
One of their number. General Irene COmpere
Francois. died in Kingston the other day, and
a fellow exile. General NJ. MonplaIsir, for
merly Minister OF the Interior and of the
General Police in Haiti, delivered the funeral
Grafton at the tomb. In the course of his i'm
passioned address he said: The sincere
friend whom we are depositing here was one
of those who maintained the struggle OF
right against wrong and underwent an exile
as execrable as unmerted.
Remember Haiti. the mother country.
slaughtered and overturned and Port au Prince
held under the iron hand of the most fright
ful tyranny. We are convinced by the justice
of our cause that before long Haiti will reject
the policy which the Government OF General
Hippolyte Is perpetuating. sowing the seeds
OF hatred between the citizens, and that the
first cry which will be raised. from Whatever
quarter 1t may issue. will find an echo in the
breasts of Haitians IN general against the ex-
terminators of the public liberty of our coun-
try. of our privileges and Of our rights"
The sentiments OF the speaker were warmly
Endorsed by the assemblage.

mind has been impaired. However. he has
been permitted 20 be at large as long as there
was no act of violence expected from him.
When Mr.. Wootton spoke 10 me yesterday
he was highly indignant over he manner IN
which he had been treated and which he
attributed % a conspiracy He explained
that the whole difficulty originated ut con-

Mr. Clark participated in several wars. At
the breaking out Of the war Of 1872 he did
good service in drumming up recruits. This
was hs first experience, and his young
heart thrilled with patriotism which never
afterward abatc,l. Although his early war
record was not very brilliant, he did all he
could as boy to induce the troops under
Gen. Scott to keep their muskets wei
primcl and always pointed at the foe.
At the time Of the Black Hawk war Young
Aaron found a place in the ranks of tn"
troops commanded by his uncle, Col. Nathan
Clark. Thtse troops were for the greater
part Of the time located near what is now
the city OF. Chicago. Young Aaron forum
atelv escaped the scalping knife OF the savage
and the equally fatsl rnva,es Of the cholera
which carried of large number of the boys
in that campaign.
In the war with Mexico he enlisted again.
and took part in several engagements, cscap-
ing without n wound. In the war OF the
rebellion he served in Company u, l>t
Missouri engineers, under Gen. John {.
Fremont, and did good service with that
command At the battle OF CorInth he was
shot through the body, from which wound
he suffered severely to the last.

Defeated Each Others Intentions.

A very curious case, IN which q hus-
band executed will which had been
prepared for his wife, and the wife exc
cuted will which hal been prepared
for her husband, has recently been de-
cided by the general term of tho Su-
preme Court of this State in the Fourth
Judicial Department (Syracusel. John
and Jane Nelson, being husband aud
wife, wanted to make wills each in favor
of the other, aud employed William
Cowie to prepare the instrument, which
he did in due form. The wills were
read and placed upon the table for sig
nature. Each then signed one Of the
wills, made the requisite declaration as
to the character of the instrument, and
asked the subscribing witnesses to sign.
After execution the wills were sealed up
in an envelope, which was not opened
until after the husbands death, when it
was discovered for the first time tnat
each had by mistake signed the will in
tended for the other. The wife brought
a suit in the Supreme Court to correct
her husbands mistake in signing the
wrong will, by reforming the language
of the will which he did actually exc
cute so as to make it conform to that
which he certainly intended to execute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the
special term, however, and the Appel
late branch of the Supreme Court holds
that the dismissal was right. Mr.. JUS
tice Martin, in the opinion of the gen.
eral term, says in substance that there is
70 will to correct, because the husband
did not make any will at all. The in
strument that he executed was his wife's
will, and OF no more legal significance
than if it had been blank piece of
paper. No precisely similar case is re-
ported in this State, but there are Eng
lish and Pennsylvania decisions IN point
adverse to the position of the wife
