FOREIGNERS IN HAYTI.

which said that the strained relations existing be-
tween the two republics. caused by dispute over
the boundary line. in a fair way OF settle

to the arbitration of the Pope The fact, as stated
in The Tribune OF April s. is that the question
referred some months ago to the Vatican. whose
award was expected al any moment The principal
question now In Hayti relates to the financial and
commercial depression prevailing. and to the best
means OF establishing prosperity II is worthy OF
attention that there many signs OF reaction
in Hayti against the ant-foregn ideas which pre-
vailed there. The whites legally still treated
somewhat In the way the Chinese treat tho for

commercial and Industrial annexation. and this
idea is expressed in la Presse" OF Port-au-
Prince from which the following extracts are
taken:
America has set her foot the other side OF
our frontier Csanto Domingo) Yankees will cross
the frontier and reach our country. When the
Dominican Vega Real is covered with American
railroads. and when the products OF agriculture
and those OF American mills are transported in

An interesting anecdote of the elder
Dumas, illustrating the authors peren-
NAL flow of fine spirits, has been told.
A gentleman, calling on the creator of
Monte Cristo," had been ushered into
u room adjoining the hosts studio, the
servant telling him to so in, as NJ. Du.
mas was alone.
At that moment (says the narrator) |
heard loud burst of laughter from the
inner apartment, SO said:
Il would sooner wait until monsierir's
visitors are gone"
Monsieur has no visitors; he is
working" remarked the servant, with
u smile. "Monsienr Dumas very often
laughs like this while at his work"
1t WAS true enough; the novelist was
alone, or rather in company with one
Of his characters. ut whose sallies he
was simply roaring.

A SOLEMN OCCASION.

had told him to illustrate the tradition

the man whose principle business II Is
TO walt for the possible death of the
president, In order that he may take
the presidents chair.
Breckenridge said that Buchanan
never consulted him about any impor-
tant matter, although rs kentuckian,
havin,. the confidence of most of the
southern leaders, he felt that his nd
vice might at times have been valuable
to the president. In the early fall OF
1860, when Buchanan's term was near
ing an end, amid the gathering clouds
OF war, Vice President Breckenridge
received an urgent summons to the
White House. He responded at once,
thinking that at last the president
wanted his advice on the momentous
questions then pending. When he ar
rived he was shown into the presl-
dents room, and Mr.. Buchanan, who
was alone, called his private secretary
and instructed him to see that they
were not disturbed by anybody during
the important conference which was to
follow
When the private secretary had with
drawn, the president unlocked the pri-
vate drawer in his desk. took out a
manuscript, sat down with great so
lemnity, and said to Vice President
Breckinrldge, In his most impressive
manner, Z" :: want to read you the draft
Of my Thanksgiving day proclamation

The vice president controlled his IA

seriously made some complimentary

ment. and, with his customary cour

Oriental Judgment on Mixed Babies.

The Greek ecclesiastical authorities
at Aleppo have been called upon to de-
eide case which strongly recalls Solo
mons famous Judgment. BY strange
coincidence woman and her daughter
both gave birth to Il female child at the
same time. But the babies got mixed,
and. as one of them was ugly and the
other pretty and healthy, both mothers
claimed the latter. The elder woman
maintained that, as all her other chill
dren were handsome. the ugly child
could not be hers, while her daughter
claimed that, being young, handsome
and strong. she could not be the moth
err Of a weak and ugly babe.
The religious chief of the town set
tied the affair in a summary way. He
adjudged the beautiful child to the
daughter on the ground that, it being
her first. the occasion was not TO be
made one of humiliation and disap-
pointment, while the elder mother
could afford to forego her claim since
she had already had several handsome
children. -Constantinople Mslumat.
