HAYTI'S AMAZONS.
Tli
Lbony Damsels Whom Lcgil
intn Unlisted in Ilis Army.
The war in Hayti. where the
alletred rightful ruler. Legitime,
has been driven into his last ditch
by the alleged revolutionary leadei
iiippolyte, lias developed an inter
esting feature in the drafting of
women into the army o: the former.
Legitime has been wcrsted on
eveiy held, and driven back until
his domain is limited pretty well to
his capital i-ity of Port au Prince.
As his army dwindled away, largely
by desertion to the oilier faction,
be found himself without troops to
man his notifications, lor his city
was long ago strongly fortified by
the Spaniards and French, e.iiu
behl it. at different peiicds.
In this extremity Legitime ii t
upon the plan of lihii.g up his 1 -pleted
ranks with women. There
being a surplus oi the Poller sex
in the c.tjii :ti ! the negro repub
lic, it was possible to cnioli quite
a number of these bony amazous,
who are not embodied in exclusive
battalions et their own kcx, but
are distributed among the men.
These women ate dressed in mas
culine costuite, and are said to
look very much like negro youths
of the male persuasion.
The Haytian negroes, where
they have been amalgamated with
the native Caiibs, have become
almost beardless, particularly when
the men are young, and hence
these ll?ytian amazons are said to
be distinguishable from the males,
when all are standing in line to
gether, chiefly by the fact that the
faces of the women are more
pleasing 3nd less hard and brutal
than are those of the men. livery
person who has seen our own fair
amazons on the stage or engaged
in a broom drill will have noticed
that in the peculiar conformation of
the sex the sujierior swell at the
haunches and the lesser breadth of
shoulders combine to exeit special
effects upon the manual of arms.
When the guns are brought up to
a "carry," beig rested against the
hip and upon the shoulder, they do
nut .-tand erect, but incline at an
angle toward the bead of the fair
soldier. Moreover. w:.en the troops
are aligned in "position of the
soldier," it is more easy for them
to touch hips thf.ti elbows, as re
quired by the code, and should the
tune ever come when the armies jf
the white nations are to be made
up of women it is to be hoped, in
the intere.it of grace and symmetry,
that somebody will design special
anus and a manual for their use
suited to ti;e l oiiforiuatioii of the
l eiutiiul sex. When the masculine
creature tu'i..s up the trade ei

as possible. It w- ate to have
hereaittr an armv ;! am is '.is 'hey
should he nuao up altogether
lovely. Fortunately the ancient
style of excision ef the breast will
not be perpetuated. That was done
to enable the lair warrior to dratv
the bow to its utmost reach. Now
the drawing of the beau is done ir
quite a different manner, as the
ancient weapons of barbarism
have all been discarded.
But to return to the Haytians,
these sable Moll Pitchers and
maids of Saragosa have not yet
done any fighting,but if they should
be driven to it the' will possibly
display as much bravery as
women do in an e xiergeney. It
seems a brutal outrage to drive the
softer sex into battle, but if we are
to ci edit ancient traditions.it has
been often done, and in view of the
fact that the entire civilized world
is accumulating a constantly in
creasing delieney of men and a
corresponding increase in the num
ber of women, it is not out of the
reach of possibility that the myths
of the Old World amazons may be
realized in fact as time advances.
What has been may be again.

"This wae sometime a paradox," as
Hamlet says. Since, however, the
people cf America and other 'and
have been enabled to pit llostctter's
Stotnajh I5itter6 against that unseen j
foe, malaria, it is no longer a paradox,
but an easy possibility. Whatever
malaria evolves its misty venom to
poison the air, and decaj ing un whole

of miasma, is the auxiliary potent to
disarm the foe and assure efficient
protection. Feycr and ague, bilious

no matter how tenaciously they have
fastc-net" their clutch on the system,
are lirst forced to relax their grasp
and eventually to abandon it alto

that should chiefly recommend the
Bitters to persons dwelling in malaria

buckler of defence against which the
enemy .s powerless. Cures, likewise,

V, THE rrpHXIC DEBT.
$. tary "ITIndom Kxplalus thn
Erroneous Reports Cwueerniiij; It
Washino iox, Sept. '.. Ikfci ring
to certain newspaper .statements
that duiing the months of July and
August e.f this vear the public debt
has been i:;t se.'.-ed oer .7,000,000.
while on tht satm- elate in US8b the
debt, had been decreased over
11,000,K)0, Secretary Wiudom
said to-day: "These ttatements
convey entirely vrroneous impres
sion. The fact is as shown by the
books of the treasury, that on the
:10th of .June, lS.S'.l, the total
amount of the public debt, includ
ing bonds of aU kinds, was $8,
;!s.s,','87, and lhat on the ;ilst clay
of August it was onlv $873,478,807
showing a reduction of $20,yi0,180.
During these two mon'hs f last
year, there was: only about one
thud of this amount, viz: $7,051,
270. The reduction of all tko
interest charged during the same
months of this year was ..S75.(')84,
being more than three times as
great a red lu-t ion as that of last
year. In fact, the reduction of tho
annual interest of tlie public debt
during the last two months has
been equalled by only a few periods
in the country's history.
"The erroneous newspaper con
clusions above referred to are
doubtless due to tlie peculiar form
of the monthly statement of thft
public debt issued by this uepait
ment in which the amount of the
debt is given, less the cash in the
treasury. Dy this form any in
crease of cash in the treasury
shows an apparent decrease of the
debt, and the disbursement for
any purpose other thau the pur
chase o: bonds at par value show
