A DIFFERENCE OF RELIGIOUS VIEWS.

A INFERENCE OF hELi0ioCs VIEWS.
- Horace Greeley writes:
I once received letter from an utter
stranger living two hundred miles away,
asking me to lend him large sum on
mortgage Of his farm, and closing
thus:
"P. S.-My religious views are radical.
ly antagonistic to yours; but know no
member Of my own church of whom I
could SO readily and with such confdeuce
ask such favor as Of you"
This postscript impelled me, instead Of
dropping the letter quietly into the waste
basket, as usual, and turning tothe next
business in order, to answer him as fol-
lows: @
".Sir: have neither the money you
ask for, nor the inclination to lend it on
the security you profer. And your
pestcript prompts the suggestion that,
whenever shall be moved to seek ia
vors Of the members ofsome other church
rather than of that to which I have hith-
erto adhered, l shall make haste to join
that other church."

of these singular animals, wholly disa-
grees with M. du Chaillu as to their un-
tamable savageness, only one of the
number he has possessed manifesting any
viciousness, and he was four years old.
The rest were very docile and playful.
The grief of the present one when first
caught was quite touching to witness;
he could scarcely bear to be looked at,
and if at all annoyed by the presence Of
many people around him, would lie on
the ground, with his face buried in his
hands, and sway his head from side to
side, as if in agony of sorrow at losing
his parents; and even now, when left
alone for any length of time, he has re-
lapses of the same kind, and appears to
be in great tribulation.

while on collecting tour as agent Of

open of his door, he saw in the moon.

preacher had more faith than courage,
and no means of defence. Breathing q

twisted them into roll, and pointing it
at the intruder, thundered, Another

BANKRUPT.-T This term has remark
able origin. 1t is derived from the Ital.
ian words Banco Rotto, signifying q bro
ken bench, in allusion to the Italian Gus
tom of breaking the benchs and coun-
on which the brokers and money-chang-
ers transacted their business at the
Bourse, when they failed Thus to say
that the bench of such one had been
broken was equivelant to have pronoun-
ced one bankrupt in cur Language. The
occupant was called "Bando Rotto," or
Bankrupt. When the word was 6rst
adopted into the English, it was spelled
Bankerout, which Is nearer the original
word than the enc now used..The word
Bank is also taken from the beach used
BY these brokers.

A LIVE GoRILLA,-Mr. Walker of

may eventually reach the Geological
Gardens. He was caught by native
who suddenly came on a whole family
father, mother and young one. The
mother, contrary to what might have
been expected, abandoned her baby y
and ran off. The father showed fight,
rushing at the native open-mouthed, and
receiving stab in the side from spear,
which cansed him to retreat little
when the man not waiting to receive 6
second attack, snatched up the young
one and made for his home as fast as
possible. Though snappish and shy fol
a day or two, the boy gorilla soon became
quite familiar and tame, until his great

master. He is apparently between one
and two years old, with a tremendoui

THE
COLONIAL COUN Gill
FOR ST. CROIX.
FOR ST. CROIX.

Conclusion of the meeting of 28th Decb'r.)
His Excellency did not consider this measure
of essential use, as it may be supposed that
several of the taxpayers with slender means
might not have money on the day the Tax
Commission was in Frederiksted, besides such
an arrangement would incur expense to the
Colonial Trsasury, as the members of the Com
mission would be entitled to claim travelling
expenses; he was not aware of the proceedings
adopted at home in the like cases, where tax
payers Of slender means lived far from the place
of collection, but would seek further information
in the matter.
The Chairman and the aforementioned men,
berS having given their further opinion on the
matter, the Council adopted the proposal of the
Chairman, to refer the case for the further de-
liberation of the Governor, requesting His Ex-
~cellency to adopt the requisite measures for
O~bviating the inconvenience in question.
4, Memorial from officials and others without
royal appointment for the Councils co-opera-
ton to their obtaining pension adopted by
the Cd member for Christiansted's country
district (Ratcliffe).
The Cd member for ChriStiansteds country
district (Ratcliffel thought. from what had been
resolved upon in the last meeting, that this mat
ter had been postponed until further.
The 1St member for Frederiksted's town (Sa-
rauw) stated, that from the views stated by the
Governor on the matter in the past meeting, the
case would not be brought on before His Elk
~cellency had explained his opinion on the me
mortal, whereupon it was decided to keep it on
the order of the day.
His Excellency informed the Council, that it
would be necessary to call a meeting of the
Council in a few days, in order to have the Sd
discussion of the draft concerning the rate of
interest, and that he would be represented by
the Chief-Judge, Counsellor Stakemann. The
meeting might be obviated in case the Council
would resolve to have the Sd discussion to-day;
but as several complaints had been expressed
concerning the hurried manner in which the
matter had been carried on, he would leave the
proposal to the decision of the members if de-
sirable.
The 1st member for Christiansted's country
district (Christmas) proposed, that the Sd dis
cussion be had to-day.
The Cd member for Frederiksted's town
(Faber) seconded the motion, the more so as
only one member was opposed to the draft at
the I'd discussion.
At the voting 10 votes were for and 4 votes
against; the proposal thus rejected as Z of the
votes was not obtained.
The next meeting would be further fixed.
The meeting closed at % O'Clock.
