to VISIT Hayti. One day I had wan
dered into the country, admirlng the
rank luxuriance of the tropical vege-
tation, and, unluckily for me, having
gone too far, lost my way. Night,
the sudden black night of the tropics,
came down, and I knew not whittier
to turn. In these wilds there was no
signs of human dwellings, but as
aimlessly stumbled on, hoping sooner
or later to light on some trace of
human life or some track which l
might follow, saw the glad CLEAN Of
lights at no great distance. Hasten
ing on, I soon heard voices, and, break
ing through some thick underground,
found myself at the entrance to a
small, level, clear space, surrounded
by lofty trees. So glad was I to
be, as thought, within reach of
shelter for the night, that I hastily
advanced a few steps before a glance
at the wild figures now clearly illu-
minated by the light of the fire, told
me that had broken in on an Obeah
ceremony.
II well knew the fate that awaits
unauthorized intruders on these hor-
rid rites, and turned to flee; but 1 was
too late. I had been observed, and
ere had taken couple of steps
backward, pair of stalwart negroes
sprang on me and bore me to the
ground. Their knives were already
at my throat, when the leader Of the
band-the priest, I suppose, if he can
be called a priest who presides over
the orgies forward, and with a
word stayed them.

'arhe people supposed when they prom
ised tariff for revenue only that they
meant revenue for the government alone.
In this, however, they were mistaken. They
were Ignorant of the partnership entered
into between the leaders of the Democratic
party and me sugar trust. In consequence
of that agreement, according to the state
ments Of Mr.. Wilson Of West Virginia, the
sugar trust imported $120, 600, 900 worth Of
raw sugar before the passage Of their bill,
on which, because of the duty placed on
raw sugar, they will reap revenue out Of
the people Of the United States of more
than $40, 600, 600, and because Of these
large importations of raw sugar the govern
| ment will receive practically no revenue
