Haitian Conservatism.

The Haitian is a fine example of
conservatism. What was, must be
right. A few years ago the town OF
Port de Paix. owing to an unexpected
progressive spirit on the part of the
Government. constructed some fine
water works. The town was well
piped, with hydrants at short distances
on all the streets. Decorative foun-
tains were placed in the squares,
drinking places for man and beast
everywhere. The natives, as usual,
took not the slightest interest in this
important and necessary undertaking.
At last, when completed, in accord.
ance with the custom of the country,
the water system was opened with q
series of fetes. The whole section of
the country had HILARIOUS holiday
balls, professions, cockfights, &C.
When these were all over the natives
came to the conclusion that the water
works must have been built to give
an excuse for them, and the water
works were no longer of any service,
so they promptly smashed the whole
system, and returned to carting the
city's water from the distant river by
OK teams. Now they tie their animals
to the hydrants. fall over the frag.
ments of the pipes scattered round
the streets. and are happy.-Harper's
Magazine.

A Remarkable Sequel.

A little fun at the Birmingham post
office led To remarkable sequel
Among the postal packets Was a parcel
containing a pair of handouts, which
were being sent from Derby by man
ufaeturer in Birmingham to be fitted
with key. The paper covering or the
package had, during transit, been bad
ly torn, with the result that when the
handouts reached the Birmingham
sorting officer they were exposed to
view. They were an object of curiosity,
and presently one of the clerks jocu-
larry clasped one of the cuffs round the
wrist of his left hand. To his dismay
there was no key to unfasten II, and
he therefore went to the central police
station Here a key was found, but as
the officer was turning 1t 1t broke on
in the cuff. The situation. at first COM
zeal, had now become really serious.
The broken key would have to be drill
ed out or the handcuff filed through be
fore the clerk could be released from
his unpleasant circumference But 1t
was Sunday, and no place OF business
was open. The clerk therefore return
ed to the postoffice and explained his
plight to his superintendent, by whom
he was ordered to go to Derby by the
first train the next morning, explain
the whole circumstances to the owner
OF the handouts and apologize; and
then return to Birmingham and
proceed to the manufacturer and have
the handcuff taken off.-South Wales
