Ik the last issue of the Broad Ax we acquainted " our xraaerous readers with the fact that the great Napoleon had firmly decided to re move Tonssaint from the island of St. Domiago, and it is now our sad and melancholy duty to record one of the blackest and one of the most treacherous acts ever committed by Napoleon or by any other great irarrior.. According to the orders of Napoleon the person of Tons saint was ruthlessly seized while he as residing Tery quietly and very peacefully in his home near Go uires, and two of Jiis chiefs, who adeavored to rescue him were killed on the spot. And a great number of his best friends were at the same time made prisoners, and the fate of many of them was never known. But Toussaint himself, his wife, and all the other members of his family, were carried at midnight on board the Hero man-of-war, then in the harbor, which immediately set sail for France, and after a short passage of twenty-five days, the vessel arrived at Brest, June the 10th, 1802. And here Tous saint bid his wife and family a sad tad a long farewell; for that un seen power -who, rules over the uui rerse, and who holds the destinies of both the living and the dead in the hollow of his hand, had decreed it from the beginning of time that poor Toussaint should never em brace or gazo upon his faithful and devoted wife and family again. , Toussainf a family were taken to Bayonne, but by the orders of Na poleon he was transported to the Chateau of Joux, which is in the east of France, and among the Jura mountains. Toussaint being placed in that bleak and dismal region, so very different from the tropical cli mate which he had been accus tomed to, his sufferings can easily be imagined. But Napoleon was not satisfied, however, with con fining Tottssaint to the fortress, bat he also issued orders that Tous saint should be secluded in a dun geon, and denied everything beyond the plainest necessaries of exist ence. For the first few months of his confineBaent Toussaint was al lowed to be atteaded by oae of hk faithful servants who had followed him from St. Domingo. Bat Napoleon,, who delighted in shedding and in wading in the blood of his fellow naen, would not even permit Toussaint to be attended by his black servant, ad- ie was left alone in his saisexy .and despair. It seems a rawer had gone abroad that Toussaint, during the war in St Domingo, had buried a large amount of -treasure in the earth, and Bonaparte seat an officer to interrogate aim Tespectisjj the place where he had ooacealed it. "The treasares I have lost," asid Toussaiat, "ace met ties which yoa seek."

This melancholy termination of his' suf ferings took place when he was sixty years of age. Toussainfs family still contin ued to reside in France, but they were removed from Bayonne to Agen, and here one of the younger sons of Toussaint died shortly after his father. Toussaint's loving wife died on the 16th day of May, 1816, in the arms of her two sons, Isaac and Placide. After Bonaparte had suc ceeded in removing Toussaint from St. Dominro he instructed General Leclercto reduce the colony to a French dependency; but the fates would not have it so. Notwith standing the fact that Napoleon had supplied, him with all the troops which he demanded, yet he sig nally failed in his designs. And when the General became aware ot the fact that he could not carry out Napoleon's ideas and. intentions, he began to treat tne DiacKs very cruelly. He issued an order which was intended to restore them as a class to slavery. But the order provoked a widespread insurrection. Toussainfs old friends and Gen erals. Dessalines. Christophe, Cle- veoux and others, again rose in arms and battle after battle w&s foueht. And all the resources of EnroDean military skill were op posed to the furious onsets of the negroes. But all was in vain. Before October the blacfcs unaer the command of Dessalines and Christophe had succeeded in driving the French out of Fort Dauphin, Port de Paix, and many other im portant positions. In the midst of all these troubles ana caianuura funeral Lederc rendered up his soul to the gods, and on the first day of November, 1802, nis DroKen hearted wife, Pauline Bonaparte, embarked with his dead body for France. rv v,p. iWth of General Leclerc he was succeeded in the command by General Bochambeau, who was a determined enemy of the blacks, and cruelties, such as General Le clerc shrunk from, were now em wwl Miat him in subjugating the natives. . Unoffending negroes were slaughtered by the tnousanas, .a Wnndhnnnds were imported m Hnh to chase them through the woods. But General Bocham beau, however, had a person to deal with who was capable of repaying craelty with cruelty. Dessalines, who nao Decomc w-aander-in-Chief of the blacks, was a man who, to great military tal ents and great personal courage, .j ferocious and sanguinary disposition. On hearing that Gen eral Bochambeau naa suuw -blacks at Cape Francois, he selected 500 French officers from among h prisoners, had them shot by way JlrfML. And to add tothemis-- - A French troops, the mu- lattoes of the southern portion of the kkad, joined in the insurrec- tioa.

Aad Se.;tP werednva Farewell, Toussaint, Oh, fare well; thou wast a true, a noble, an honest and a faithful son of our mother the earth, and the material portion of thy earthly tabernacle has crumbled into dust, and has be come a part of the monumental ele ments of the universe; but the spiritual portion of thy corse has become an inseparable and an imperishable part of the intellectual sea which encircles the globe. Using the words of the immortal Wendell Phillips, we would call him Napoleon, but "Napoleon made his way to an empire over broken oaths and through a sea of blood, but Toussaint never broke his word. We would call him Oomwell, but Cromwell was only a soldier, and the state he founded went down with him into his grave. We would call him Washington, but the great Virginian held slaves, and fifty years hence, when truth gets a hear ing, the muse of history will put Phocion for the Greeks, Brutus for the Romans, Hampden for Eng land, Lafayette for France, choose Washington as the bright, consum mate flower of our earlier civiliza tion; then, dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue, above them all, the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Toussaint L'Ouverture." (The end.) WOMEN TO THE FRONT. Among the many beautiful build ings at the Nashville Exposition, none have been more admired or received more praise than the Women's Building, which was de signed by Mrs. Sarah Ward Conly, of Tennessee. The building is situated on a beautiful portion of the grounds, and among a cluster of trees, whose wide sp?ading branches make the surroundings cool and inviting for the visitors. Like all of the rest of the build ings, it k constructed out of white staff, which reminds one of the World's Fair buildings at Chicago. To the colonial style of thk hos pitable looking Southern home has been added a touch of Greek art, producing an unusual artistic effect. The interior decorations have all been done by the feminine brush, and the beautiful and artistically wrought floral and figure designs painted on the ceilings and walk show what women have accom- plkhed in the world of art. Mrs. Van Leer Kirkman, presi dent of the women's department of the Centennial, k a native of Nash ville, and a true Southern lady. Mrs. Kirkman'e able assistants in the women's work, include many of the handsoaae and cultured daugh ters of the South, who are noted for their warm greetings and gen erous hospitalities, aad all visitors can feel assured of receiviag a cor dial welcome from these ladies. There will be an unusually large exhibit from all parte of the world showing the iaveatioas of the sex. Ykitors will here see all tha newest appliances for the modern house wife, and the progress the new wonan has made in professional. life. Ton will also see many beaatifal works of art, asoieled by the brush aad chisel cf wosaen. Bat oae piece ef art, which attracts especial attention, k a colossal statue of Pafiae Atheae, which k forty feet hkh' iadadiar pedestaL Thk teaariffl aad sagaiiceat statue a beautiful Kentucky lady, who is pursuing art in Paris. The statue, which is after Froh nes Pallas de Velletri, in the Louvre, Paris, has been placed in front of the Parthenon. Tennessee women are exceedingly proud of this work of art, as it is the largest statue ever executed by a woman. DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN IN DIANA. On the 3rd inst. elections were held in the smaller towns of In diana, and the results are very en couraging to all Democrats. In Montgomery county nearly all of the towns show Democratic gains, while in Grant, Clay and Laporte the honors were divided. Last fall Mishawaka went 125 majority for McKinley; but low and behold that same town has gone Democratic by majorities ranging from 75 to 125. Orleans elected Henry Reed, a sound money Democrat, to the office of Councilman. Winnamac was out in all her glory and planted good Democrats in the offices of Marshal, Clerk, Treasurer and three Councilmen. Sullivan, like the old champion of a similar name, made a clean sweep, turning every Republican out. Princeton was true blue, for Dem ocracy owns the town. . Linton contains but one lone Re publican in the capacityof clerk to mourn the loss of his departed brethren. Patoka is Democratic from start to finish. And here k a fact which is sig nificant, namely: That in Gosport the Democrats made a clean sweep, a result that has not occurred for several years. Prosperity must have been rather slow in visiting Indiana as it has in visiting Utah and the remainder of the West. O, the Democrats won't do any thing to the g. o. p. next election. WAGE REDUCTION. The mine operators of Streator, Illinois, have reduced the wages of all miners to 60 cents per ton, the same rate to apply all the year. The present rate k 62 cents in summer and 70 cents in winter. The following from Winsted, Connecticut, explains itself: "Gen eral Manager W. J. Martin, of the Philadelphia, Reading & New Eng land railroad, Poughkeepsie Bridge route, today made the second re duction in wages this month; to take effect May 1st. All conductors and engineers are cut 25 cents a day, and brakemen 10 cents a day. A few weeks ago the road cut the salaries of station agents and sec tion foremen $5 a month." The above are only a few of the striking examples of the great love that McKinley and a Republican administration have for the poor working men. It was just so under Old Ben Harrison's administration, and hk tory proved how dissatisfied the la borer was when a new election came round. Harrison met an overwhelming defeat. Just keep your eyes opea aad see where the voters will land the present administration in the next election.
