The HaYtien navy certainly needs aiten-
ton. During the disturbance last summer
President Simon sent up to New York and
bought the steam yacht American at cost
of a million dollars, TO he used as war
vessel She was equipped with four six
FOUNDERS and some rapid-ire guns. II
looked as II Simon was going TO put II all
over the revolutionists with that yacht
warship, which, while 1t could not travel
inland, could purge the coasts and prevent
tho landing OF supplies for the rebels. But
when the vessel reached Hayu native
engineer filed her boilers with salt water,
and that was her finish. except that other
natives stripped and pilaged her OF the
luxurious furnishings intended for the
pleasure of an American millionaire. This
is the craft they arc trying to repair at
League Island navy yard.
A few months ago President I-econte' .
wife died at Cape IIaytien. and there was
no vessel of the republics navy available
to transport the body TO Port All Prince.

A ludicrous story is told OF an Edinburgh
baiie, whose studies in natural history
seem to have been limited. The following
case came before him one day:
A man who kept ferret having to go
into the country left the cage with the
ferret in charge of a neghbor till he
should return. The neighbor incautiously
opened the cage door, and the ferret es-
caped. The owner was very angry. and
brought a claim against him for damages.
The following was the decision of the
learned baIlie: Nae doot," he said to the
neighbour; mae doot ye was wrang to open
the cage door but" he added, turning 10
the owner, "ye was wrang, too. What for
