TO the Editor of the "St. CrOix Avis"

Dear Sir!
Amid the happiness [ feel to hear this and
that one say that your paper is becoming very
interesting lately, | cannot but feel sorry that
those very persons (most of them at least) are
SO Paul p1ylmg as not to be completely salts
fed except they can find out who is the author
Of this or that article, without once questioning
themselves whether it is fair or not to ask an
Individual if he is the writer Of such a commu
~nication. l. therefore, for one, take this oppOr-
tunity, by your permission, to beg my friends
(tor none else, I presume, would take the inno-
cent liberty not to ask me the question care
you not the author of the article that has ap-
peared to-day ?? The evil resulting from such
enquiry is twofold if say no when it ought
to be yes! my friend has caused me to say
what is not true. If say That does not con-
Germ you, | would lack that courtesy which it is
natural to me to exercise towards every person.
To know The writer of a newspaper article does
not make the article better nor worse after one
has read til mean the article in itself-it is
the matter contained in it that ought to be con-
sidered.
You are aware, I am sure, Mr.. Editor, that,
to know the author of a h0mespa@ truth beg
the expression) is to make for him secret enc
mics, in whose power it may be to revenge upon
him in the most dastardly manner. Again to
know-or even to suspect-the author, tends to
detract from it or to add more Importance to it
than it merits.
The foregoing said, l must beg that no Of
fence will be taken where mono is intended to
prove which | shall, in future, wAisper IN the
ear-of such persons as, [ would like to know
it-whenever | have written an article for your
paper.

Dear Sir,

THE LAW OF CERTAINTY.

(From the Chicago Insurance Cron|c7e)
To the unthiuking man The vicissitudes
of the weather, the roll of crime, or the
list of accidents for the coming year, the
chances of life and death, the wars, pes
t~ilenccs and famines that scourge the
world, seem controlled by chance alone.
The ancients elevated change to the dig
nifty of a deity; and the "doctrine of con
sequences" by which we have heard OF
on tracing the American revolution back
TO its beginning, in the pushing open OF u
garden gate Ivy q pig, is only another
form of chance Worship; consequences
are only the symptoms Of the working of
the infexible laws that govern all things.
These laws of nature are too intricate III
their workings for mere human intelli-
gence TO trace. Now and then q lucid
mind comes into the world, and, like
Newton, defines some physical or me-
chanical law, and even ascends into the
more mysterious ones that govern human
action, and consequently human life, but
in this sphere some of the most brilliant
inteIlects have become cntangIed in the
inextricable muddles of spiritualiSm and
similar delusions. 1t needs ar extraor-
binary mind to keep its balance while
dealing with these mysterious uncertain
ties. If, however, we are not 50 constl-
tuted as to trace to its ultimate result
each mental and physical law, we have a
shorter and more conclusive method of
arriving at the future results of such laws,
by the law of average: the principle upon
which certainty is evolved out of uncer-
tainty.
We have often thought that it would
be q startling table to lay before the pub
lie a list Of all the burglaries, murders
aud rapes that were to be committed
during the coming year; and yet, with
the exception of the names of the persons
who will commit them, this would be as
easy to predicate for this city population
of Chicago as it would be to make a list
of the same crimes for the past year. Of
the men you meet on the streets, and
who now are innocent of the contempla-
ton of such deeds, some are as sure to
commit theft or murder before the end Of
the year as that some are sure TO die.
The only thing which lies hidden from all
intelligences, and to all human intelli-
gences utterly unattainable, is who2

any other, can possibly be. As being then
more thorough-more economical-more liberal,
and free from narrow prejudice-and now popu-
lar, may | venture to bespeak for it the conside-
ration Of the Colonial Council, and Government.
l am, Mr.. Editor,
Yours truly,
SCHOLASTICUS.

estates, at a very large outlay to the proprietors.
If then, the Introduction of Snakes, not poison
Gus, be placed in the cane-pieces, where they
can, naturally. enter the holes and habitations
of these good-for-nothing things, there would be
less of them, and the planter would see that it
would be more profitable, and less expensive,
than the present system.
We will not stop here but proceed a little
further. These reptiles-very harmless they
are, of the kind we mean, the common Snakes
of South America should be protected by
Law, and not be disturbed therefore the
Colonial Council ought to take the matter into
consideration discuss we'll and, after intro
ducing these Snakes, or simultaneously, pass a
Law that no one shall kill them for this sim
pie reason, that they will do much good and no
harm. A natural thing it is, that spiders rid
us of flies, and people seem to think that, Of
both, none of them are tormenting, nor dan
gerous but let us compare rats with mus
~quittoes, and we shall then SEQ what is des-
~tructiye and what Is obnoxious.

The Bull Run in Politics.

The utter rout of the Radicals in the cleo
tions weighs very heavily on their minds
at least upon the minds of what few are
left. The organs OF the party are in the
deepest distress, and, like drowning man
catching at straws, they seek consolation
in all sorts OF devices, excuses and prom
ist of the future. Before the election in
New York they pretended not to see the
tremendous reaction that had begun to
upheave society from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The election in Pennsylvania " as
nothing in ONO it was mere temporary
thing, an accident, and turned upon local
issues; in another State it was a fraud and
not the real expression of the people. and
so on. Everywhere the greatest efforts
were made to explain away facts and the
true cause of Radical defeat. But sii ce

situation the rebels were when Sheridan
swept through the Shenandoah valley.
They are utterly broken up and scattered,
never more to make a decent fight in a
cause as unholy and destructive as that OF
the rebels. That is the sort of Bull Run
they have met with. They may try to
screw up their courage, bnt they are com.

On Saturday, the 81 inst, the literary
friends of Charles Dickens gave him fare
we'll dinner at the Freemason's Tavern in
London. f. Bulwer Lytton presided at
the dinner and made speech. to which
Mr.. Dickens replied. He is expected to
leave for the United States on Saturday of
this week. 1t is reported that he proposes
to give his English audiences his last course
of reading Immediately after his return
from this country. He is expected to re-
main here about four months. 1t is yet
doubtful whether he comes west of New
York on his reading tour.
When Charles Dickens was about to EN-
bark on his voyage to this country. in 1912,
Thomas Hood wrote one Of his characteris-
tic poems, addressed to his friend Boz. We
quote the best stanZa:
Here's success to all his antic'.
Since it peases him to :, am,
And to paddle DER Atantics,
After such a sdts at home!
May he shun all recks whatever
And each shallow sand that turks;
And his pass r0e be as clever
As the best among his works.
