No Spanish Colors
for Haitian General

During the reign of the Emperor
Soulouque in Haiti one of his gen
erals wrote to an eminent oculist in
Paris for a glass eye. The oculist
fiattered himself that a successful eve
would secure for him one of The
Haitian crosses; SO lie devoted him
self to the production of work of
art.
Six months elapsed Then a small
box reached him from Haiti. A cross
glistened in his imagination. but, to
his horror, within the folds of cotton
was his work of art A letter accom-
panied the box.
Sir it ran. '9e eye you forwarded
to me is of tint that resembles that
of the Spanish flag, and | am too pa,
triotic to wear any but the colors of
II my country
! The oculist proceeded at once to
the admiralty, there ascertained the
colors of the Haitian flag, and at once
manufactured Il scarlet and Green eye.
