Hayti's Side of the Case.
Xkw Youk, Dec. 14.- In a recent in- j
tcrview with the HernM correspond ;nt
at Hajti, (General Legitime, prchident of
the repuMic, Hjwiiking of the present
tinbroglio over the vessel Havtieu Ile
j.uMic, said: - I am perfectly confident
that our law officers have given correct
counsel, and that we have international
law on our side. The people of the north
are in rebellion n iinwt the provisional
overnin-nt. Tin? prts of Cne llaytien,
Port de Paix, Oonaivis and St. Marc
were proclaimed to Ikj blockaded. The
llaytien Uepublic took armed revolution
ist frJn one port to another. She also
took munition of war on board for use
n"ainut tho provisional ijovernment.
There m a precedent for our action. The
steamer Tropic was fitted out at Phila
delphia for an expedition against Hayti,
or against t,,e b-gal government. The
United Htates government sustained our
tiide of the cac. I do not anticipate that
44 General " Cleveland will forget this
precedent of the Tropic case. I do not
eel any doubt of the strength of our
case. The llaytien government haa taken
a step vrhfoli will, I hope, convince the
people of the grt.at republic that we arc
friends. The entire case, so far as our
mlc is concerned, has 111 referred to
Washington. We hate instructed the
llaytien minister, Mr. Preston, a most
trustworthy ami careful diplomat, to lay
our aide before the American cabinet and
ask for its adjudication, its arbitration.
This is certainly an act of great confidence
on the part of the llaytien government
It means that we allow the government
which makes an advance claim agaiust
us to adjudicate for both parlies. We
repose the utmost confidence in "General"
Cleveland's character for )ut)ep and in
ternational comity. We feel onrid&at
that when the llaytien side is understood
a deeition in our favor will be made.
Captain Itameey, the commander of the
corvette P.ostoci, took all the papers Jjl
the case."
The crowd made many threats, and he
beleived that they were in earnest. The
troops have all left the city, and only a
small force of deputy sheriffs is now
guarding the jail. All is quiet.

In these days a man can drop a nickel
In the slot and realize almost anything,
He can jjet his correct weight, test Ms
lungs, grip and pushing power, ascertain
his height, draw out a cigar or a package
of ton bons, or ho can get an insurance
pojjcy good for a certain number or
hour.. The latest device, however, is
bound to mako u fortune for the men
who get the "rake off." The machine is
set up in depots, and tho car of tho man
who drops a nickel in tho slot is occupied
for a few moments by a pleasing tune
(rctii) a music box inside. Those who
have ever been .obliged to spend an hour
or two in a depot waiting for a train will
gladly give up a handful of nickels foe
something which will occupy their time
and attention. The projectors of this
bickc! movement, however, have num
bered' (days, as there is a machine just

Mrs. Anderson, of Portland, Ore., is
the right kind of a woman. She went out
shopping the other day, and noticed that
a young man was dogging her steps.
Finally he made an attempt to grab her
Eurm'. Ms, Anderson laid down her
undle, rolled up lier ph?jj-ps: doubled her
fists, and gave the fellow a mauling that,
he will remember for some time.
Stay and CorMtt.
The Spectator, after quoting Profes
sor Itoy s assertion that the ilesiro for
waist belts is instructive, and has been
displayed by all athletes and jersoiis
of whom exertion is required since the
beginning of history, adds: "It will
bo observed that this argument, which
is certainly true of all runners, Asiatic
or European, upplies to men equally
with women, though men gird them
selves only to meet special calls upon
their strength." To this a gitiduato
from Cambridge, where he was dis
tinguished us a runner und long dis
tance bicyclo rider, protests, that
neither runners nor experts ujon the
wheel, at that university, ever used or
showed a desire to use tight waist
belts. On the contrary, it was their
custom to gird themselves as loosely
as possible, in order to allow five
movement of the diaphragm. If
rowers ever wear waist belts, they
aro so loose as to cause no inter
ference with the freest movements of
all tho muscles of the body. It is pro
bable that the habit of "girding up the
loins" preparatory to physical exer
tion originated in Oriental countries,
where in ancient times, and now as
well, the peculiar form of the prevail
ing costume made it necessary in or
der to secure free movement of the
limbs. A custom once established,
needs no further explanation. Itmay
survive long-after there is any reason
for it. The Ilittitcs wore peaked toed,
turned up shoes thousands of years af
ter their ancestors had come from the
mountains of tho north, where the
form of their snow shoes suggested tho
peculiar fashion; and tho daily life of
every people is full of instances that
might uo cited. Nobody today places
restraint upon any of his organs if he
desires to excel in feats of strength or
sccd. He may wear a vai.-.t bolt, but
itis never so tight, as has already been
remarked as to ro '.vers, as to interfere
with the five p!.;y of the muscles.
