Small Trofits! Quick Sales!
SAN DOMINGO AS IT IS.
It ia now timo to strip somo of llio
tropical verdure from tbo annexation
accounts of Sua Domingo, and show it
as seen by llioso ho write facts, not
fiction. The leanings of a vast ma
jority of the letters puhlibhod, are so
obvious anu apparent us to sitiko me
most careless anu inattentive reader.
They describe nothing hut waving
palms and placid waters, and fruitful
Gelds and liuiipy pcopio. auovo mo
earth bond rich harvests, beneath it
lie. treasures untold. There nro cities
which require ouly a few white men
to make them rpi ing up like magic,
and harbors cupublo ol holding the
navies of the world, when controlled
by proper rulers. All tuo people
are in favor of annexation, and Unci
and his colleagues patterns of wisdom,
prudence and palnotmm. Incite arc
the pictures presented by tho wrilcrs,
in the interest of tho San Domingo
jobbers. Tho bait is well covered
with alllurnl Uescnption. jsui be
neath is the keen and deadly hook,
nnon which tho nation is to he hurt;
in this matter of annexation. There
aro papers, however, which prick this
bubblo and let out llio winu. Among
thera is the Chicago 77iiim, which in a
recent article says: "Tho Commission -era
could not discover that ficneral
Grant, or any other federal oflice
holder, is the actual owner of any
water lots thcro ; but they did discover
that ' Patens and his associates and
O'Sullivan have a perpetual Icaac, at
a nominal price, of nearly all of the
available water ironi arouna mo nar.
bor.' Who knows what private Fa
llens, O'Sullivan and thoir awoeinles
have mado with Grant and his asso
ciates f Not tho Commissioners, sure
Iv. Tho Commissioners fuund Mr
llacE, one Ol tno iwo or inreo i n-m-
for over fifteen months, tlio navy of
tho United States, and will bo found
after annexation to consist solely of
two small schooners of somo 00 to 80
tons ach, now lying in tho river
Ozuma, at Kan Domingo, and in
neither of which any sane man would
venture, a mile, from shorn. A to
navy -yards, arsenals, docks, &c, ko.,
thoro is absolutely no pretension to
anything of tho sort.
,
"A to coal, Professor Blako dis
proved the existence of it ut the head
of SuBtuna Gulf; he brought back to the
Tennessoo, alter a vory elubo-ato ex
amination, only samples of very good
lignito, This is-noteworlliy, because
Mr. Pabens, in a pamphlet 1rrWMPri'
he extols the resources of this island
to tho seventh heaven or a little high
er, q"tes a letter written by Gen.
Buceta, one of the Generals command
ing the last Spanish army of occupa
tion, in which he says that coal from
these, veins had been put on board
ono of the Spanish war steamers and
found equal to tho best Card iff. There
is no coal at all, and this is a fair sam
ple of ninety-nine hundredths of the
"bosh" that has been written by in
terested parties about San Domingo.
As to labor, the whole matter may be
sammed up in a few words. The
original Indians were unfitted by
their physical constitution for hard
work, and when put to it by the
Spaniards were soon exterminated.
So wliilo man can worn in oun
Dominiro. The muluttocs are enerva
ted by tho climate, and cannot work
hard.
Tho negroes will not labor unless
forced. JSow. what capitalist will
advance a dollar on the richest possi
ble land, when not onlv there is no
lubor on it. but when nil kinds of
labor aro inetlicicnt.
"The climate, of Sun Domingo to
tho whito man is simply one of tbe
most deadlv in the world. 1 do not
caro what testimony the Commission
ers may report; they cannot alter
facta, llul as a specimen oi too way
they collect it, I givo you the follow
inc facts: At Samana, Mr. Durr, an
American, tostified to the health of
the place Uis child had been sick,
nil the time. Tho wil'o of another
American there told me that they had
only one child, and they did not dare
to have it in Somalia from (ear it
would lako tho fever. In conversa
tion with lrcd Dougluss before leaving
Sumana, he said to mo: "l am con
vitx-e-d that Nature has arrayed her
self in all her beauty to tempt men to
come horo to their death. Jieaulilui
as this country is, I am satisfied is is
ihn i. rave ot tho liUo man and the
nee-ro also. 1 feci tho climatic influ
enccs myself." 1 respectfully call the
attention of President Grant to this
remark of Mr. Douglass
After stating further fucts of the
same character, the writer declares
ARE THEY MARRIED?
Ilrldes Wlio lo Not Know It.
Hasty marriages bavo ever been ll e
subjects of repreiiension on the part of
elderly peoplo and unfnrttinato baeho
lors and spinsters, so much so, indeed,
that "marry at hasto and repent at
isure," Iiiib becomo ono of tho most
frequently repeated proverbs in the
language. JSotwilhstunding till the
warnings of the satisfied, ntid dissatis
fied, however, marriages in haste are

The Commissioners explainod to the
intelligent Mr. linn that they mil not
come with authority to closo a bar
pain for tho country he wants to sell,
but to see about it. Mr. Ilaer., like
nn exnerionccd real estato broker, set
forth tho advantageous properties of
tho commodity in the best light, anu
offered to send for Mr. Cabral, another
President of the country, if tho Com
missioners would like to see mm.
This is a more temperate way of look
ing at tho Sun Domingo bargain, and
ono which gives a more truthful idea
of tho value of the accounts -which
havo been sent homo by the flurid
correspondents of annexation jonrnals.
What could they have known of the
rcul condition of tho country in six
doysf And yet, in that time, they
mado up their minds that San Doinin
co was a paradise, Kaei a prodigy,
and annexation the desire of all tn
of tho Itrmiblie. This is tho
trntr in which the San Dnmihco job is
recommended to the people of this
country, and such testimony is to
form A bona lor lc,eiaiivo anion ii a
favorable character for the jobbers.
Tho New York Sun has a corre
spondent at Son Domingo ( ity, and
ho gives an account oi me isiauu anu
its surroundings, which is worthy of
attention at this time. T ho following
aro some of his forcible pen sketches :
"When President Grant tnlksoftho

Thero is not a moucraieiy accent ono

bavo already given yon some account.
It is very small, i lis I ennessee ntti

half miles from the wharf; nnd for this
accommodation the United States pnys
$150,000 a year. Of this as a coaling1
station, as compared to St. Thomas, I
will speak further on. 'A ho western
end of the harbor of Samana is a largo
mangrove swamp, from w hich must
cmanato most deadly miasma.
"At San Domingo City, there is
nothing but an open roadstead, and

umiitiern trades, and w hich rules fill
SLANG INJTHE PULPIT.
According lo tboologiaiis tho Chris
tian Church bus passed through l li
ferent periods or epochs in which doc
trines, organization, dogmatic asser

or less prominent. Wo are now in a
secular period of itshistory, and as one
of tho results, which must he Appa
rent to the most cuhuiiI observer, there
is far less revcrenco for the hotiso of
God and for tho ordinances of the
Gospel than existed in other epochs.
It is no uncommon thing now to find
receptacles for tobacco juice in the

amusing dual marriage
which has over been recorded, took
plnco in this city on Jtiesuuy evening
of lust week, on which occasion two
highly respectable young ladies were
united in tho bonds of wedlock with
two young inon, being all tho while j
unconscious that they bad become j
brides. The facts of this peculiar
marriage, us far us can ho gathered,
mav bo thus stated.
In that portion of our city known
"Tho 11 ill," reside two ladies, young,
good looking, and lively. Of good
luuiily, and well known, they huvo al
lays been considered as among tho
most attractive git Is living in that
quarter, llul they aro living girls,
lull of rolicksomo lun, lonu oi legiti
mate, character. Possessing these at
tractions, it is not lo bo wondered at
that they became favorites among t lie
gonllemen, and that many of the
young men of tho city made it a habit
to call upon them at their parent's
homo and spend pleasant evenings in
their society. On the night above
named, (Tuesday, of lust w eek,) two
gentlemen, both well acquainted with
llio vouns ladies, aud also their par
ent's mado a cull al the house. After
tbe usual greetings, and under tho
privilege gained by thorough friend
ship, the quartello became qtiilo at
homo with each oiner, anu me nin oc
eanic last anu lurious ino jonng
men began talking about w hat they
daro do, and the young ladies cxpre.-s-ed
themselves as equally daring. At
last the gentlemen, in llicir rnnlmes
and foolishncssa, stated tbul they
even dared get married, and pursuing
tho matter thus broached still lutllier,
expressed themselves ns willing to
muko bold llio sioicr uriucs upon toe
spot.
by the United States is, as far as Buex
ia concerned, a swindler for personal
aggrandizement; as far as Dominicons
not immediately interested, aro con
r n.no, I. it ia an imposition, to w hich
ihev aro in reality earnestly opposed
.n, I whieh thev will resist to the
loath." This lullcrview is sustained
and corroborated by a private letter
from Ssn Domingo Uty, which sa)s:
"The feeling among tho population
against annexation is more bilter than
ever, but no ono tlurcs to speak out
openly, for fear of banisnmeni or lm
prisonmenl. A complete rcii. u
terror has been inaugurated by Racy.
United States vessels of war, in con
innr-l ion with bis troops, have over
awed tho free, will of tho people
ilierefnre. Unci tloes as he pleases.
But, murk well : if annexation does
take nlaee. tho United Slates troops
will bo obliged to exterminate tho
present raeo of Dominicans; so sure is
it that bloody revolution will follow.
It is strange that I'rcsidcnl tjrant nas
allowed himself to be so deceived.
Not ono tenth part of the people favor
annexation, and nearly all who do are
in this city alone." It ia well that
such plainly noted facts as these,
should go to the people side by side
with tho statements ol jobbers and
annexationists. General Grant is de
termined to nush tho bargain through
ConTrms. If ho ia able lo do so, let
tho job be pnt upon the record of his
ailnnnisiraiiuii in no i.
Age.

The eirls were not to bo beaten;

Bido was followed by reileration ou
tliu utliui, and th" o"'1 use" at lo"l
came to the conclusion lo tako their
fair cntcitainers at their word.
It was tho work of but a low mo
ments foroncof iho irontlcmcn to rui
from the houso and bring back to it
w ith him a young friend w ho was in
vested w ith iho marrj ing power of a
full fledged preacher.
Tho gentleman was introduced.
Tho girls thought it all a good joko.
The quartette stooj up; the marriage
ccreuionv was irono thitiui'li w ith ;
and two couples wcro made one, lour , j -
persons mado Iwo. Iho gentlemen
knew the matter was a joke. The
ladies supposed tho wholo affair to be
a joko and llio marriage a mock ono.
The ncwlr mado husbands deter
mined to sail developments, and left
with dignity, consequent upon their
new relation. Tho ladies retired to
bcJ and lsughcd over tho joke of the
evening.
Tho next morning brought fresh
developments, however, to Iho fair
ones. Both received large yellow en
velopes, and on opening them, to their
utter dismay, tney lounu mav tncy
people enter upon the worship of Ihe
great Jehovah with their mouths stuf
fed with tho weed, which they may not
remove if one or tho other is engaged
orally in tho servico of ihe sanctuary.
Those very men would not dure to
enter the presence chamber of an
earthly sovereign to ask a petition at
his hnnds or to press a claim in any
such manner; but this common cour
tesy is denied lo the King of kings in
tho tcmiilcs dedicated to jus worship
This want of reverence niny bo the
natural nnd necessary counterpart of
the almost adoration which was oner
ed in other aces to tho Christian
Church and ils institutions; hut fur
belter would it bavo been for the
Church and for tho world, spiritually
bud tho former continued until now
And in this regard wo believe "the
former tfltys wore better than theso.
Such irrcverenco fur sacred placet
and sacred things could not fail to
loud to irreverence for that revelation
upon which the Church and its insti
tutions aro founded. And such we
find to bo the fact. Tho minister of
Christ, wilb the plcdgo of their faith
still fresh in their hearts and in their
bands, and with tho holy commission
of the Master, "Go preach my gospel,"
ringing in their car., will cnlcr the
place of prayer and tako the oracles
of God and expound them with the
same indifference as if Ihey were com
menting upon a chapter in tho "Ara
bian Nights" or in "ilobinson Crusoo."
Had l'uul adopted the Btylo of some
of bis modern successors when he
stood before Felix or Agrippa aud
reasoned about rigbteoune9, temper

Governor would not have trembled
nor the King have been almost per

time, Paris is free from German sol
diers, and they are slowly withdraw-
inir behind llio Seine. The occupa
tion was of brief duration, and, far-'"""'"
Innately, it terminated without tu
mult, disorder or bloodshed. Tho
German forocs marched into tho city
with all tho "pomp, parade, and cir
cumstance of glorious war." They
passed under an lies erected to com
memorate French victories, and hutted
in front of, and around buildings noted
in French history. Thus William and
Bismarck gleaned the last sheaf of tho
red field of carnage. Tho bitter cup
of humiliation was pressed to tho lipa
of Iho French people. It wus u bit
ter draught. Sineo lblj they bavo
been unused to such things. Paris
has welcomed her sons as victors, not
looked upon n victoiious foo in her
streets. Tho Crimean war added to
tho glory of France. Austria wa
crushed und driven out of Italy by
French troops. These occurrence
fed the national prido, and they neg
lected to watch events at home, to
nolo bow surely Napoleonic rule was
undermining tho power and weight of
France among llio nations of Kurope.
At last, Napoleon was called upon,
under his system, to play his last
card, llo must venture all to prop
his falling dynasty, llo did slake
France upon the table, lie threw,
and lost, and German troops marched
across tho Rhino and Seine into Paris.
To freo Paris and Franco, a treaty
has been made. That treaty cedes
land, and promises tho payment of
money as indemnity (or w ar expenses.
Five hundred millions of francs will
be paid by the middle of this month,
in order to free Paris from the prox
imity of Ihe German troops, and the
balance al staled pel tods, und under
certain stipulation. Tho amount is
large, but tho victors were exacting,
and Franco had to submit. As to
territorial spoliation, that includes in
Alsace all tho Department of tho Bas

ment of (ho Haul Khin, with the ex
ception of a part of the arrondissc-
