sTot the least interesting feature of
Uie place . is the barracks, where is
quartered a portion - of Hippoljrte's
valiant army.-says a correspondent of
the Providence Journal. 'The only at

dilapidation, and a cap,' ornamented
with red, yellow or blue braid, accord

" kets-and many of them carry , ugly
looking knives. ; I saw large numbers
. of these "soldiers", on .the plaza or
public square, some playing at dice or
cards, some , talkinc. others sleeoinc
and all lazy,' dirty and 'ragged. This
.. . plaza, which was originally well laid
out! and iwhich actually boasted an
ancient-fountain inthe, center, was lit
tered rwitlv refuse, rooted up by hogs
and filthy with house1 offal and -dung.
The-ancient paved walks which orig

and. the loose stones were widely scat-

In a longj tramp through; this coun

" And yet this land is said to be extreme-,
y, -fertile and s to yield largely any
tropical product that is, plan ted upon
; it. .' From" an examination of -an out-
cropping ledge of rock I decided that
the soil was underlaid with limestone,
and such a soil is nearly always rich.
But." the "richness of this island is'

oranges and cocoanuts are grown up to

everything in connection - with them.
Even the 'old 'carriage roads which
originally, traversed the island " and
formed a channel fort conveying" the

with'forest and bushes.
And this is Hay ti, the Hispaniola of

GOLD FIELDS OF THE YUKON.
- l'lcnty of the Precious Metal, But It Is
Difficult to Beach.
Some destitute Alaskan miners who
were rocently landed in San Francisco
by, a United Statos revenue steamship
brought a dismal account of the gold
fields of the Yukon country. They do
' not dispute the claim that mineral
wealth exists there, but say that a
great part of it lies under impenetra
ble mountains of ice. I Moreover, the
high cost of living renders the , pros
pects of the average miner extremely
' dubious." Flour sells for twelvo dollars
a hundred pounds and sugar twenty
five cents a pound, and other necessa
ries of life are proportionately as dear.
For a meal of corn beef , and beans in
the settlements seventy-live cents is
charged. 'Inclement weather, too,' lim
its the mining season to three and a
half 'months ea.ch, Vear. ''Mining in
AlasaA...! one or the prospectors,
Jrdiiterent from mining, in any other
'"'region I ever heard of. In prospecting
i for a claim you first have to dig up
from six inches to three feet of moss,
. and beneath that is a mass of ice of
, .questionable depth, which has to bo
, thawed before you strike bedrock.' I
have seen men thaw out thirty feet of
led and then not get anything." He
. ' admitted, ;'liowevcr," that occasionally
the gold-seeker "struck it rich." "We
learned before we left," he says, "that
there .were four men who had each
1 taken out ten thousand dollars' worth
of gold dust this summer. There are
several others who, will carry away
live thousand dollars' worth of gold
dust, but then some of those men have
been prospecting all through. the Yu
kon district for several years past with
out ecrapingup more than enough to

THE PRlLGRIMAGfc. TO MECCA?
Well of That City Are Among the Prin
cipal Ronrcee of Cholera.
Apropos of a dispatch from -Tunis
which says that out of a body of nine
thousand pilgrims who yWted Mecca
one-half died of cholera, ami thatof the
seven hundred Turkish soldiers sent
after the pilgrims to bury the dead and
help the Jiving five hundred perished,
the New York' Herald gives some ae;
count -. of the . sacred -.pity 4 and the
sacred . processions. It ' is estimat
ed that the pilgrims annually
number from fifty to seventy thousand.
They come from all parts of , the
Mohammedan -.world, lor every Mos
lem is bound, under certain conditions
to pay at 4east one ' visit to tho holy
city. Mecca, as is well-known, lies
in. the heart of a mass of rough
hills, intersected by narrow . valleys.
Its regular population is supposed to
be about fifty thousand, but the city
always contains . many more persons,
for before the pilgrims to one festival
have left those to another begin to ar
rive. The streets are fairly spacious,
but very poorly kept. There , is " a
good supply of pure water, brought
by; an underground conduit, , but
this is furnished freely ' only to
.townspeople,' the pilgrims having
to pay n for' -,-it. - As r a result' the
latter, patronize the. wells which.
are supposed to be principal sources of
cholera. ' One of these is the well of
Zemzem, which is the holiest place in
'the city after the . ICaaba, or temple.
According -to .Mohammedan tradition
this Well is the source from which Ila
ger drew water for her son Ishmael.
It is now inclosed in a massive vaulted
building, paved with marble. The
water is eagerly drank by the pil
grims, poured over the body to give
miraculous refreshment, and carried
away, in jars. As though the water
and the city's filth were not sufficient
cause for cholera, the sacrificial
slaughter " of thousands of animals,
whose carcasses are left for the sun to
act upon, complete the work of germ
propagation. ,
The caravans approaching and leav
ing Mecca are picturesque sights. The
.members are full of faith in Allah, and
proud of having attended the great
festival. In the midst of the proces
sion a guard of honor escorts the pyr
amidal wooden structure which, under
a gorgeous canopy and borne by a
camel, contained on the outward jour
ney the sacred carpet which is left in
the Kaaba, Mecca's holiest of holies.
On the return journey the great casket
is empty, but even then it remains an
object of veneration, and a military
guard of honor accompanies it.
FARMER IMMIGRANTS WANTED.
The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital
ist Will Try la Nebraska.
A plan for securing farmer immi
grants has just been put in operation
in Nebraska by a wealthy Ohio manu
facturer, and it is the understanding
of the South that Gov. Northen, of
Georgia, advocates a similar experi
ment in his state. Some time ago the
Ohio man purchased ia,uuu acres in Ne
braska. In the center of this tract 100
acres are laid off for the village site,
and in the center of this forty acres
for a public , park. Facing the park
are the school, church or churches,
public halls, etores, shops, etc. The
remainder is cut r up into 240 lots
of about a half acre each for dwellings
for the farmers, storekeepers, mechan
ics and others who may seek a resi
dence in the village. After providing
for the village the rest of the 12,000
acres is divided into 150 farms of about
eighty acres each, with roads so laid
out aB to give each farmer an open
highway to the village It is proposed
to sell these farms ' on time, giving
ample time to tho purchasers to pay
for them, and to assist in the building
of the village by helping to build the
schoolhouses, churches and such other
public buildings as may be desired. If
this idea is carried' out, there will be
a village with 150 families of farmers,
and perhaps fifty or - more other fam
ilies of storekeepers, mechanics and
others, say a village of 200 families, or
"1,000 people, which would make a con
siderable place.
Gov. Korthen suggests that land
owners form joint Btoek companies,
purchase a central tract for the village,
build a church, a schoolhouse, a store,
have a post office established, and then
lot those nearest the village site either
build, or if practicable move their
dwellings to the village site, thus giv
ing it a start. v Then subdivide the
large farms into small ones, and invite
settlers to come, purchase and become
residents of the village.
Waltzing Mice.
Lately the employes at the Philadel
phia zoological garden have been
amused by the antics of some queer
little animals which are not on public
exhibition. Tho newcomers are white
and black Japanese waltzing mice,
seven in uumbcr. When let out of
their cages they wink at each other
and step gracefully forward with a
movement . which some of the beholders
declare is a bow. Head Keeper Man
ley whistles "Annie Kooney," and the
mice skip away in pairs with a queer
whirling motion. When ho strikes up
"The Ilowery" they revolve so fast that
nothing can be seen but little gray
balls. "Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-aye" causes
them to "6wiug corners" and dance
"all hands around." Once the owner
ventured to play the "Dead March"
while they were dancing. With a
whisk of their tails the little rodents
fled to their cages like a man pursued
by a nightmare.

SLAVE TRADING STILL EXISTS.
Oue Form or It Tailed "BlttckblriilDK,"
Carried en by AdTonturcre.. '
. . It is high time that tho attention of
our naval onieers in the Pacific was
directed to the "blackbirding" raids
that have lately been made upon tho
tlilbort inlands, says London Truth.
"ItlueUbirtling," I should perhaps ex
plain, Is 'the local euphemism for the
form of slave trading that is carried
oa In the present day und,er the British
and American flags. Some three or
four raids of this kind appear to have
been made. upon the Gilbert islands
within aa many years by one American
adventurer; The natives men, women
and children are decoyed on board by
specious promises of the blessed pros
pect open to 'them. They are landed
on tho hospitable coast of Gautemala,
and there, after a few months of
virtual slavery, the bulk of them speed
ily die from climatic or other causes.
A Vancouver newspaper states that
out . of the last shipload thus trans
ported, not more than thirty- per cent
were alive at the end of the year. The
enterprising mariner who has carried
out the previous raids'was reported a
few weeks ago to be fitting out a fresh
expedition at San Franeisco. The Gil
bert islanders now enjoy , the proud
privilege of being; British subjects, -and
wc ought to protect them against 'this
form of buccaneering.
Eugenie and the Artist.
It' is. said that Emperor .Napoleon.
III., was desirous of bestowing the
cross of the Legion of -Honor upon
Eosa Bonheur, the eminent artist, . but
hesitated, fearing1 the popular judg
ment might condemn the giving; of it
to a woman. Leaving home in the
summer of 1805 for an excursion, he
left the empress as regent. From the
imperial residence at Fontainbleau-it
was only -a short drive toBy. ". The
countersign at the gate was forced,
and,' unannounced, the empress en
tered the - studio where Kosa was at
work. She rose to receive her visitor,
who threw her arms about her neck
and kissed her. It was only a short in
terview. The imperial vision had de
parted,' the rumble of the carriage and
the crack of the outriders' whips were
lost in -the distance. Then, and not
till then, did the artist discover that,
as the empress had given the kiss, she
had pinned upon her blouse the cross
of the'Legion of Honor. ,

The volcano of Abina, in Peru, which
for a century and a half had been con

". Together with this news comes an
account of remurkably severe earth

violent shocks continued one minute

greatest J,error in Guayaquil, where at

HE WARMED UP.
The - Bank , President - Lost That . Chilly
Feeling Very Suddenly.
. A - well-known contractor walked
into a bank in this city the other day
to cash a check Sor forty dollars, says
the Washington Post. The paying teller
looked' at1 the check a few minutes,
then counted out four hundred dollars,
and handed it to the contractor, who,
although he noticed the error, said not
a word,'- but' rolled up the bills and
wadded them down into his pocket.
This- happened in the morning, and
about two o'clock the same afternoon,
before the officials of the bank had an
opportunity to discover the error, the
contractor walked into the oflice of the
president of the bank. ,
"Is this bank responsible for,- the
errors of its clerks?" he asked the pres
ident." ; ; 7
"If it can be proved that any of our
clerks have erred,'1 replied the presi
dent, in a very chilly manner, "we will
make the correction."
"Well, nobody saw this error made
but myself,".continued the contractor,
"and my word ought to be sufficient
proof, I think.'! : 7 . '
"I am sorry, sir," said the bank pres
ident, "but we shall have to have ad
ditional proof. We require this in order
to protect ourselves; that is all."
"Very well, sir," replied the con
tractor, rising to leave. "I am sorry I
cannot furnish what you demand. The
error I referred to was the payment of
four hundred dollars for a check that
called for only, forty dollars; but,' as
no one saw me receive the extra three
hundred and ixty dollars, I suppose
you will not want to correct the mis
take. Good day, sir." .
"Hold on! Come back!" shouted the
bank president, who by this time was
very 'wide-awake to the abyss to which
he had been led.
The matter was soon adjusted satis
factorily, and now when any person
reports an error at that bank the first
question asked is: "In whose favor?"

through fits forestry stations on the
temperature of the air, of the trees and

varies according to the trees composing
the forests A beech forest is always
cooler than a forest of larch. As to
the trunks, of the trees, they are
always cooler than the surrounding
air. Regarding the temperature of the
soil, it is found that in the forest the
temperature is invariably below that
