This is we'll and good; for competition is
trade. Passengers from this place TO st.
Thomas have experienced much incon-
yenience, and WI would say unpleasant
ness; because the schooners that. are
running just now between the Islands do
not afford proper accommodations. This
we say without hesitation ; since very
many parties can declare that the proper

on that matter, under fear of his dire dis
pleasure. How much more creditable
would it not be, to court discussion on the
subject, to hear complaints particularly,
and in as far as possible to correct, and re-
form them. Although we are in an Sin
considerable and primitive place" | do not
see why we should not try to keep up
things here, and surely we do not pay
wide the Budget an inconsiderable sum
for the purpose of having a good and
effective police. If the Government think
us in that happy state, as pointed out IN
Mr.. Stakemann's' Communication he should
resist the Council in their demand for a
more effective police department. Finally
/ have to assure the Honorable Judge
that I have every respect for him officially
and privately, but he must really: excuse
me, if can neither see our police so good
as he does, nor suppose, that with his nu-
merous other avocations he has time to
give the police department, that attention
which he thinks necessary or could wish.

cartman should not have been fined, but
the police, for allowing such o circum-
stance.

I shall in conclusion but briefly refer to
the misstatements so carefully collected

to in the Council, ON the evening while
driving to the Circus. / should have been
sorry if Mrs. Stakemann, or any other
lady, were placed in a similar situation to
that which Mrs. Radcliffe was put in, on
that evening. The woman ran against the
carriage, and threw q tub on the horses,
which lodged ON the pole of the carriage,
and which caused the horses to get loose
from the pole, and, it was only fortunate
that Mrs. Radcliffe drove her %quietest pair
of horses that evening, as otherwise it is
impossible now to say, what may not have
been the consequences. One thing the pub
lie will learn With astonishment, that with
out one word Of enquiry from me, the
Honorable Judge sends forth his errone-
Gus statement, and condemns me on such
testimony, without even hearing my side
of the question. / wonder on such testi-

Frederick Gleason, Esa.

Frank Leslie in giving a portrait of that
enterprising and most successful Of publish.
ers, F. Gleason, Esq, Of Boston, in his II.
lustrated Newspaper, gives tha following
sketch Of that gentleman:
1T is now about a quarter Of Century
when Mr., Gleason, then quite young man,
first entered the field as publisher. lie
was the originator, in a measure, Of that
class OF publications generally called cheap
publications." being very successful in this,
his next idea was to publish weekly liter
ary paper, which he commenced soma lwsn-
ty'.hree years ago, under the title Of 1.-The
Flag Of Our Union" This was the first real
literary anl most ruccesiesl paper started in
the United States. Nothing Of tho kind
was then published either in Boston Of New
York. Being very successful with this paper,
a nanber Of limitations Immediately sprung
up. He next originated the idoa Of pub.
fishing an illustrated paper, which was en-
titled Gleason sPiotorial; this was the frs.
successful illustrated paper ever published
in the United States. Soon after this, the
artists OF the United States presented Mr..
Gleason with moat magnificent service of
silver, in token Of their esteem for what he
haa done for their art in this country.
Having realized handsome fortune, Mr
Gleason, in the spring of 1854, sailed for the
second time on pleasure tower through
Europe, and on his return in the autumn
sold his publishing Establishment and papers
to his assistant, NJ. NJ Eal!ou, for the sum
of S200,0J0 which amount Mr.. Gleason
however, never obtained entirely. In selling
to Bahllou, Mr.. Gleason bound him.

notes he then held against Balou, some

this Mr.. Ballou agreed. So in 1855, Mr..
Gleason commenced a paper which he called
the 'Line.of. Battle-Ship, which title, after
4 years publication, he changed to the title
of "Gieason's Literary Companion" This
paper he has published very successfully |

exile in Europe, he found the late Rev.
Jedeliah Durchard, then celebrated revi.

ings in his family church. He attended
from habit, always went late, and disturbed
the services by attracting the attention Of
the audience on account Of his nctoricty as
the man who shot Alexander Hamilton, and
who had been tried for treason. Mr.. Bur-
chard resolved to rebukc him openly. The
next Sabbath, when he came in and got
about half way up the aisle, the clergyman
paused in his discourse, and pointing to Col,
Burr, said in the most scathing manner ::
"You hoary- headed old sinner, I'll appear
against you at the day Of judgment T. The
proud, defiant old man, standing as erect as
ever, with that perfect composure which
never deserted him, and fixing his fine grey
eyes on the occupant of the pulpit, replied :
"Mr. Burchard, have observed through a
long course of professional experience, that
the very mcanest class Of criminals are those
who turn States evidcuce!"

A Yoke On Senator Summer.

A copy Of the New York Anti. .Sla0sry
Standard created quite sensation in the
Senate, 1t contained q letter from its
Washington correspondent, charging that
two millions ofdollars were used in passing
the Russian treaty through the Senate, and
that Senator who was never burdencd pre-
viously with much money, had since pur-
chased fine residence in Washington at a
cost of $50 900. As Mr. Samner is the only
Senator who has lately invested in a resi-
dencc here, there was disposition to joke
him as the Senator alluded to by the cor
respondent lie not only admitted the pur-
chase, hut said the other part Of the doScrip.
ton also fitted him, as he had never been
burdened with cash. This SANDER upon the
Senate, however, loses. all interest in view
of the fact that there were but two Senators
opposed to the treaty on its FIRST presentation
to that body, and neither one Of them voted
against its ratification.

EiMdiNg Fault yTith Children.

1t is at times necessary to censurc aud
punish. But much more can be done by
encouraging children when they do well.
Be, therefore more careful TO express your
appreciation of good conduct than your dis
appreciation Of bad Nothing can more dis
courage child than n spirit Of incessaut
fault finding on the part ofits parent. And
hardly anything can exert IA more injurious
influence upon the the disposition both Of
parent anI child. There are two great
motives influencing human actions hope
and fear. Both of these are at times
necessary. But who woull not prefer to
have her child influenced to good conduct
by desire Of pleasing rather than by fear of
offending? ia mother never expresses her
qualification when her children do well, and
is always ccusuring them when she secs any
thing amiss, they arc discouraged and un-
happy. They feel that it is useless to try to
please. There disposition become harden
cd and sourcd by this ceaseless irctting and
at last, finding that whether they do We! OF
i'll they are equally found fault with, they
relinquish all efforts to please. and become
headlcss Of reproaches.
But let mother approve Of her childs s
conduct whenever she can. Let her reward
him Tor his efforts to please by smiles and
affection. In this way she will cherish in
her child's heart some Of the noblest and
most desirable feelings of our nature. She
will cultivate in him an amiablc disposition
and cheersull spirit. Your child has been
through the day very pleasant and obeli-
ent. Just before putting him to sleep for
the night, you take his hand aud say, ''My
son you have been very good to-day. 1t
makes Inc very happy to see you so kind
and obedient. God loves little boys who are
dntitul to their pareuts, and He promises to
make them happy" Thisapprobation from
his mother is to him great reward. And
when, with more affectionate tone, you
say, Goodnight, my dear son" he leaves
the room with his little heart full Of feeling.
And when be closes his eyes for sleep he is
happy, and always tries to do his duty"

w kise Ants.

Travellers in the East have told some
wonderful stories about the ravagcs commit.
tel by the white ants, but the following,
from an English magazine, are the latest:
"An odd story is largely credited in India
in regard to the voracity Of the white ant.
A gentleman having charge Of chest OF
money, placed it on the floor, where it was
speedily attacked by these destructives, who
soon anmhilaiel the bottom Of the bags
containing the specie, which fell piece BY
piece into the ho.lows Of the tcrmites' bur-
row just underneath the floor where the box
was placed. When the coin was to be de-
manded it was not to be found, but the at
tacks Of the ants were incontestible, and the
story got abroad that their teeth were ca.
pable Of devouring metal. Some years after
when the house was undergoing repaires,
the whole sum was found several feet deep
in the earth in the midst of an ant nest -.
White ants once attacked British ship Of
the line, the Albion. She Was obliged to
put it into port in coseGucnce, and had to
be broken up.
These creatures are much rcli-hcl as food
BY the natives Of the interior of India, as
well as by those Of Africa. In India,
before the migration Of the ants, two holes
are bored in the nest opposite to each other,
on the lcOward side pot is placed, which
has been rubbed with aromatic herbs; on
the wind side, 4 fire is nude, the smoke Of
which drives the Insects into the pots.-
These captured victims arc then securely
fastened in, dried over the fire, and ground
into four and made into pastry which is
sold to poor people, but which, if used abun-
dainty, produces dysentery. At the time OF
the migration Of the ants in Africa, myriads
of them fall into the water, when the natives
skim Of tho surface with calabashes, then
grill them in iron cauldrcns over large fire,
stirring them as coffee is stirred The ma
tives cat them by handfuls, without accom-
paniment or other preparation, and consider
them very delicious. They arc said to re-
semblc in taste, sugarcd cream, or sweet
almond paste. The Hottentots cat them
very greedily when boiled and grow plump
and fat upon the food. They also consume
the pupa Of the ants, which they call rice,
on account of its resemblance to that grain
They cook these in small quantity Of water.
A large nest will sometimes yield a bushcl
Of the pupM.
