The I'rofewwr Is now - About to ftfti) from San Francfftuo to Jap.in, and of onrse could not rnn hack to visit ll.aytl. Yet It . wm manifest that Haytl ought to be visited at once, nl a very pecnliar state of thing existing there Ulontrated In such a manner as to give the American yablle a better appreciation of it than they could , father from mere frozen facts and llgures in the Mew York papers. Therefore the undersigned has attended to it, TROPICAL AsrECTfl. At Sea, Off roRT-AU-PruxcK, October T. As I fitepped ashore nt the above-named jilace to-day, I was nssaiJod by ' a Hwaroi of darkies of all ngeH and all degrees of hilarity and ragf,'fidneH8. But it was a peaceful as sault. They wanted to carry my valise to tho hotel. In the midst of the clamor I felt that the valise was passing from me. I was helpless. I simply followed it, making no complaint. It was on the head of a bright little darkey who depended solely on his personal come liness for attractiveness ho had nothing on but a shirt. And tho length of time that had elapsed since that shirt was at tho laun dry was longer than the shirt itself, 1 should judge. We wound in and out among the narrow " streets bordered by small houses scantily fur nished, and generally with pigs, cats, and parrots, and naked colored children littering the dilapidated littlo front porches, a mon key or two making trouble with all these par ties in turn; a glimpse through the open door of an insigniticant stock of wares for sale such as oranges, pino-apples, cocoanuts, bread, sausages, cigars, brooms, herrings, . cheap prints of saints carrying their bleeding hearts outside their shirt-bosoms and Ending tho grocery, a stout wench in parti-colored turban, calico dress, wide open at tho breast, cigarette in mouth, no shoes, no stockings. Occasionally we pussod genteel houses, entirely surrounded by ve randahs, and these verandahs close-shuttered to keep out the heat. , In the yards attached to these houses were tall, thick-bodied cocoa palms, with foliage like a bunch of swamp flags exaggerated tho cocoa peculiar to the West Indies. And of course in these yards was a world, of flowering tropical plants , curious, gorgeous, outlandish-looking things that had the air of being glaringly out of place with no green-house glass arranged around them. ""ODORS OF WAIt. It was the hottest part of the day, and so there were not many people stirring. We met two companies of soldiers on their way to embark for the northern coast, where the Quaker City is bombarding Fort Picolet. Tho Quaker City .' It seems strange to speak of . her as be'.ng engaged in such work the very ship in which a hundred of us pilgrims made a famous pic-nic excursion half round the world about tiro years ago. But she seems a good warrior. Sho just riddled one of Sal nave's war vessels in a sca-light two or three days ago. A XEAT riPKOT'LATION'. The third citien I met addressed me in Spanish, f.nd said he was going down to iSejar to post himself on a hill and observe tho battle which must come oft' there in a day or two, between the insurgents and the Government troops, nnd ho would take it as n very great favor if I would sell him the field-glass that wus suspended from my shoulder. I said I did not care particularly to part with it, but still what would be give? lie said: "I am willing to pay forty thousand dol lars." "What!'.' "Forty thousand dollars." "My friend, are you insane ?" He took a package out of a sort of knap sack which was slung about him, and delibe rately counted out forty new and handsome one thousand dollar Haytien greenbacks. We . exchanged. I felt small and mean thus to take advantage of a lunatic; but then, what would you have done ? I then resumed my journey with an unusually sneaking expression in my countenance. EXTOltTION. I Arrived at my hotel, I asked the small colored boy what I owed him for carrying my valise. "Nine hund'd dollahs, sah." I fainted. When I came to, a number of people were about me, applying restoratives and doing what else they could to help me. That soul less colored boy was standing there, cold, serene. I said: "How much did you say, boy?" "Nine hund'd dollahs, sah reg'lar price, ah." I appealed to the bystanders for protection. An old gentleman of noble countenance and commanding presence said the boy was right he was charging only the usual rate. I looked at the other faces. They all mutely endorsed tho venerable conspirator' state ment. I sadly handed the boy a thousand dollar bill. He walked oil-. I was stupiiied with amazement. "Gen tlemen," I said, "what does this mean? There's a hundred dollars change coming to .rue." "True," the old party said, "but it is not the custom to regard a trifle like that." Stunned and dizzy, I hurried to my room and threw myself on tho bed, almost satisfied .that I had lost my reason. I applied tests. I repeated the multiplication table without making a mistake. It was plain that my com prehension of numbers was unimpaired. I repeated "The Boy stood on tho Burning Deck," without a blunder. It was plain that my memory was sound. " I read one of Mrs. Browning's poems and clearly understood Borne of it. It was plain that my intellectual ' faculties were in a condition of even unusual vigor. Then what in tho world was the mat ter? Had I not suddenly developed a mouo juiania a craziness about money, only? A FELLOW SUFFERER. Somebody knocked. Then the door opened, and a poor, sad-looking American woman, of about thirty-live years,entered. I seated her with alacrity, and with interest, too: for I was glad enough to have a kind, troubled face to look into, and gather from it sympathy for my own sorrow. .Bho said: . "Sir, I ain a stranger to yon, but grief makes me bold. My husband died two ' months ago, and left me in this strange land with little money and not a friend in all the island. My oldebt son was soon kidnapped and carried away to fight in the war. Our . little property was ten miles from here, and I was living there at the time. My youngest i hild was lying sick of a fever. These sor rows were not enough. A week ago the insur gents tame at night and burned my house to the ground. My Hick child I saved my other lajmti iYtl IteiwsfctTea, Eiitxuy escort yag Barrow. A soldier cut me with his sabre yon I can see the stitched gash if you will look while I part my hair on tho back of my bead just there do you see it? And this dress do yon observe, the scorched place at the bottom? The fire wan that cloRe behind me. Think how sadly I am situated. I would give the world to get home again to America, if only to die. Can yon not help mo? Will yon not help me? A friendly schooner captain will give me a free passage, but my creditors will not let me go till they are paid. Oh, I do not mean that all my creditors are so hard with me no, the trifles I owe to most of thorn they have freely cancelled on their books. But the butcher and the grocer still hold out. They will not let mo go. I beseech you, sir, help me in this groat extremity. I would not go to any but an American and it has cost me tears to come to you. But I want to go ho much, and theso bills nr.0 but a trifle you cannot ruins so small a sum and if " "Say no more, Madam ! Say no more. Yon shall go home. I'll pay this villain grocer and this bloody butcher, l'ack your trunk." "Heaven bless you. sir." With that she fell upon my neck, poor creature, and gave way to her tears. I was moved myself, and finding all efforts to keep back my own tears fruitless, I yielded and wept. At tho end of fivo minutes I said: "Cheer up, Madam, cheer up! All's well now. I'll get this thing right in a jiffy. What's the amount ?" "I am not certain my poor head has boon sadly tortured of late but I think that sixty thousand dollars will " ' I jumped through the second-story window, sash and all. a riiiKcr.i.y bill. I wandered round tho town for three hours, as crny as a loon perfectly desperate. It was plain enough to mo now that 1 had gone mad on the subject of money.' How I had ever come to do such a thing was a mystery, for I- had always been a sort of spendthrift, a man who had never worshipped gold or greenbacks to any alarming extent. But I was reluctant to acci pt the situation, anyhow, and so I said to myself that by this time Charley must have bought all tho things we wanted end got the bills to the hotel. I would go and pay them. I would see if this dismal hallu cination was still in force. When I arrived I told tho landlord to mnko out his own bill and add the tradesmen's bills to it, and give it to me as quickly as possible. Then I sat down to wait a smothering volcano of patience and anxiety for if my mind was not straight by this time, I dreaded that my madness might increase, under my distress, and drive me to commit some fearful crime. I shud dered, presently, when 1 thought I felt a de sire creeping through mo to spring upon a decrepit old man near me and throttle him. I moved away and turned my back and then I covertly threw my pocket knife out of tho window. Now the bill came. I read thus -I translate:- Mark Twain to KlngslonJIouse Mr. To room if nf.

Two hundred and ninety-live thousand four hundred dollars ! I read this bill over delibe rately six or seven times, aud never said a word. Then I said I would step out aud get a breath of fresh air. I got it the breath of fresh air. I walked gently around tho corner whistling uncon cernedly. And theu I glanced back, and see ing nobody watching me, I sauntered towards the American packet ship, at tho rate of about eleven or twelve miles an hour. I picked Charley up on the way. We hid between decks a couple of hours, till tho vessel was out of sight of land. We were safe. So was the valise, and tho cigars and things tho landlord had them. I trust he has them yet. We have parted to meet no more. I havo seen enotgh of I lay ti. I never did take much interest in Hayti, anyhow. M.vhk Twain. P. S. I understand it all now. I havo been talking with the captain. It is very simple, when ono comprehends it. The fact is, the war has been raging so long that Haytien credit is about dead, aud the treasury sapped pretty dry. Therefore one dollar in gold will buy eighteen hundred to two thousand dol lars' worth of Haytien greenbacks, according to the tenor of the current war news. I wish I had my valise back. It is a darling country to live in, that Hayti. Board two hundred and eleven thousand dol lars a month in the best hotels, and ice cream three hundred dollars a saucer. u-ft' Sand iim a I.ilrcltit. From th J 'all Mall Ga-ette, The latest Parisian novelty in the way of opera is George VmiuXh Petit? Fnt7ette (Madamo Sand signs the libretto herself) set to music by M. Semet, tho composer of (til lllwt, Js Kuitit (CEnjiaijne, etc. No ono likely to take an interest in this work need be told that "La Petite Fadette" was already the title of one of the most beautiful novels which tho only one of tho really great novelists of contemp irary France who seems to have seriously cared for the beautiful in Action has produced. M. Semet may well congrutulato himself on hav ing selected such a subject, and on having had the subject he had selected entrusted to him. Composers of operas cannot, as a rule, be said to show much discernment in their choice of subjects. Tragedies, historical plays, melodramas are eagerly seized upon,- while le gends and quasi-legendary poems and tules, which seem of themselves to invite music. d treatment, are passed by. Meyerbeer, as if to extend tho limits of opera, took a pleasure iu setting political and religious discussions to music a hazardous experiment, which ia the hands of an inferior master would havo moant unequivocal fuilure. But Meyerbeer also saw and, as a composer, fully brought out ilia beauty of the littlo idyll called Diiiviui'i, which is full of musical situations, and con tains three principal personages, each possesi ing a natural musical physiognomy. Gounod has often been fortunate in his selection of a "book," and never more so than when he took the Provencal poet's Mireio and made it the basis of his MirriUe in many respects his best though not the most striking of his few successful operas. A little touch of tho snper- i natural, an element of wonder in some shape or other, has always its value in opera; and it is this fantastic element, aided by the magio of M'nie Sand's style, which gives so much charm to "La Petite Fadette," and increases in a hifch decree . its general suitableness for i nrxrMc treatment. Wild, dreamy, ranouul, ' rotes(jne and here ru, iher uwtituiv viW4 in the conventional and stagy sense of the term it is really surprising that this poetical novel should so long have escaped the "effacing fingers" of the ordinary librettist. It has, at last, had the advantage of being operatied with the actual co-operation of the author, who seems to have written all the prose dialogue, while the experienced M. Carre (part author of Jlamlct and Mignon, of Famt and Jlomro and Juliet) has prepared the musi cal pieces and taken charge of the versifica tion generally. The task accepted by M. Semet, the com poser of La Petite Fadette, was by no means an easy one. The living work having been reduced, more or loss, to the condition of dry bones, it was for M. Semet to make it live again through his music, which, to be fully worthy of the subject, ought, it need hardly bo said, to be as eloqnent and as expressive as the musical language of George Sand her self. To expect this would bo too much; but it appears that M. Hornet's music has really had the good fortune to please Mmme. Sand, who, on the night of the fourth representa tion, sent a letter to the composer expressing her admiration for his part of the work, and begging him to congratulate and thank in her name "the charming artists who have contributed so powerfully to its suc cess." Mmme Galli-Marie, the original "Mignon"' in M. Ambroise Thomas' opera of that name, has, as might havo been ex pected, gained a fresh triumph bv her admi rable impersonation of M'mo Sand's pootical heroine. She is not one of the first vocalists of tho day. But though her voice is neither very powerful nor of very extensive compass, she Kings with fine dramatic expression; and we doubt whether any ono of the three great Italian or Italianized singers who have stu died the part of "Mignon'' can play that part with greater noirete, more genuine sentiment, or deeper pathos than are brought to its re presentation by the artist who first "created" it. M'mo Gal'li-Mnrie's "Mignon" was not the Italian "Mignon" of Goethe, but the German "Mignon" of Ary Scheffer. Her "Fadette" is, no doubt, the "Fadette" of George Sand herself, and not of any one of George Sand's "illustrators." Since M'mo Sand approves, it would be ridiculous for any one else to say a word against, tho somewhat conventional process by which her beautifully written, perfectly proportioned novel has been turned into ope ratic, form. Nevertheless, the story having taken a fixed nnd, as we once fondly ima gined, a permanent shape in our memory, it is painful to find that the incidents are, after all, changeable tit will. There are some passages of description in the original novel which no painter could realize on can vas, while a composer could at most recall them by masterly use of the orchestra. There are several touchingscenos, moreover, between "La Petite Fadette" nnd her "fadet" which are too delicate for substantial transference from the book to the theatre. But while recogniz ing tho existence of these technical difficul ties, wo cannot understand what necessity there was for making "Landry," tho lover, go mad and demean himself in his moments of insanity like "L'onel," tho son of "Lord Derby," in Flotow's Martha. Some of the French critics compliment M. Carre on the ingenuity he has shown in depriving his tenor lover, through an entire act, of his ordinary amount of intellect. M. Carre can scarcely take such a compliment seriously, knowing, as ho better than any one does, that in almost every modern opera that has attained popularity, the heroine goes mad, and that there is nothing original even in representing the hero as demented. Since the day of "Nina" lunacy has always been more or less in fashion on the oporatic stage. Ros sini, a sane composer if ever there was one, had, it is true, no taste for madness; but Bel lini's "Elvira," Donizetti's "Lucia" and "Linda," Meyerbeer's "Dinorah" and "Cata rinn," "Gounod's "Margherita," Thomas' "Ophelia." all go crazy. Indeed, Mad'llo lima do Murska never impersonates a charac ter who retains full pofsession of her senses throughout the piece; while tho only sound minded personages represented by Mad'llo NUsson are ".Lady liennotta, who drives her lover mad, and "Violetta," who herself perishes of "folly" in tho scriptural sense. I'ori;;i Item. Tho Pull Mali Gazette says: It seems to be high time that our students should be re quested not to transgress the fair limits of ex periment. At ltossall College, in North Lan cashire, one of the collegians, Hogan byname, was observed to put something into a sugar basin at breakfast time, and shortly after wards to make tender inquiries after the health of Mr. Sleip, a master connected with tho establishment, who, fortunately for him self, had left the sugar basin untouched, for on examination of its contents it was found to contain as much arsenic as would have poi soned nine or ten persons. Young Mr. JIo gan, on being questioned, replied that he put the arsenic into the sugar out of curiosity; that he wanted to make an experiment; and that he considered Mr. Sleip the likeliest person to operate upon it further appeared that he had enough arsenic in a bottle concealed in a chimney to poison all the people at the col lege. I nder these circumstances we are not surprised to hear that tho authorities of the college permitted young Mr. Hogan s father to take him away from the establishment. It is stated that no was conveyed nome, where, wo hope, he will be induced either to pause in his interesting researches, or to select hiui- selt on the next occasion as ,,tuo likeliest per son to operate upon." Ln the last number of JS'ote.t and (hierien a correspondent calls attention to the follow ing prediction in Spanish: "Father Baltas- sar Mas, who m H"0 was preacher in ( r.tnmu, and passed from thence to Home on his way to the Indies, related to Father Martin Alberro a revelation made to him: 'I saw a land swallowed by the sea and covered with water, but afterwards I saw that, little by lit tlo, the sea rotreated and left tho land visible, and the upper parts of the towers and the tur rets of the cities rose and appeared more beautiful than before being swallowed by tho seo; and it was told me that it was England.' " This is a very disagreeable vision, espucially as it is countenanced by the fact that so many of our public buildings and private dwellings uro jn a most sinful stale of dirt and griiui ness.
