ameliorate our labor system, place the laborer on
n freer footing, and thus result in benefit to the
employer and employed.
The Ga=ene publishes q correspondence be
tween the Board of immigration and some of the
Chinese merchants on the subject of introducing
laborcrs. From this we gather that the latter
are willing to procure laborers, such as they
themselves may select in China, and bring here {:
That they are TO come as free Mborers, and when
here make contracts directly icih their employers,
government to bear the first cost and have general
supervision of the whole thing. Now this would
seem to be a more rational and satisfactory plan
than any yet preached and the fact that the
Messrs. Chulan are willing to personally supervise
the selection and introduction of these laborers,
and to see that only suitable men come, and that
they contract directly with the planters after
arrival, is a guaranty of success. What more
can the planters or the government desire?
With the addition OF the clause requiring the
return of the laborers to China, ut the expiration
of their term of service, it would seem that this
vexed question might be brought to a satisfactory

Capt. English was not able to come in contact
with any Of these Judges or Rulers, or to learn
who they were. 1t appeared that many were
willing to come with him, but Capt. English's in
structions were not To receive any person on board
without the concurrence Of the recognized su-
thorities.
Capt. English had heard Of the disastrous oc-
currencc on board the Moaroa.-the Tahitian
bark,-and therefore did not think it expedient
to 20 among the Islands whence she obtained her
men. The story which he heard differed somewhat
from published account. but as it had passed
about from mouth To mouth, may not have had
any truth in it. IL was, however, TO the effect
that one of the women who came off and who was
not one Of the people engaged, appeared comely
to some one living in the cabin, and was placed
in q stateroom, and fastened in there. Her
brother demanded her to go on shore, and his de-
mand not being needed attempted to get her, and
was knocked down. Then began the rush and
fight which ended so tragically.
From Savage Island, Capt. English returned to
Danger Island, and there obtained those who
have come with him. 1t will be observed by our
advertising columns that the Board proposes that
the unmarried women, or some of them, should
20 into families in town. Those desirous of re-
ceiving them would do well to apply Immediately.

Seventeen years ago, last June, a few noble
hearted ladies met together and organized them
selves into a benevolent society, under the above
name, to assist in relieving the wants of such
strangers as might be cast on our shores. They had
been organized but q few months, under the
presidency of that whole-souled woman, Mrs.
Captain Newell. when three or four whalers,
returning from Margarita Bay, landed at this
port about sixty passengers rescued from the
burning wreck of the steamer independence,
while on her way from Panama to San Francisco.
Entirely destitute of clothing or any means, hav-
ing lost them all, these unfortunate strangers
turned to this society of ladies for help, who,
with the aid of our citizens generally, came
forward and supplied them with clothing, and
sent them on their way to Che coast. Among
those who rescued and brought these passengers
here was Captain Wheldeu, now of the John HOtO-
land, which is in port. From that day to this,
the society has been actively engaged in relieving
some poor strangers, who have drifted hither, in
some cases to die, and in others to be helped
along the journey of life, which to many is a
cold and dreary one.
During the first ten years of the s~ociety's
existence. its receipts amou nted to 81 ,5l3, and
uurluS tuc Icst scNcu tLt tOC.l naS Deen Increased
to about ten thousand dollars all which except a
small sum at interest, has been expended in the
relief of strangers, of any and every creed and
nation, who cannot claim charity from other
local benevolent societies or from their country
men. The average annual Expenditures for relief
have been not far from five hundred dollars.
The funds of the society have of late run low,
while the calls on it for relief are constant.
Without wishing to call on the citizens for con-
tributions, unless some extraordinary providence
compels them to do SO, they have planned and
are now preparing for a Festival, which it is
hoped may prove to be more properly called An
Ice-cream Festival, to be held on next Thursday
evening, in the basement rooms of the Fort Street
Church. All the receipts, whatever they may
be, will be devoted to the relief of destitute
strangers. 1t is to be hoped that there will be a
generous response to the benevolent efforts of the
ladies, and that the result will cheer them on in
their good work. The society numbers about
forty members.

Besides the changes in the Cabinet, already
noticed, Hon. CHAs. X. BISuOP has been named
n member OF the Board Of Education, vice Mons.
varigny and Hon. j.. Mott Smith to the same
position, vice Bishop Staley. These changes
will both prove beneficial, If We are not mis-
taken in the qualifications OF the new incum-
bents. The Board Of Education for the past iew
years has not been in sympathy with Gre liberal
spirit Of the nation, nor in harmony with the in
iuential body Of evangelical Christians, who have
controlled, and viii continue to exercise n con-
trolling influence on the rising generation. despite
all efforts to the contrary. The administration
have stood out against the popular sentiment
with n stubbornness worthy Of q better cause,
but have been compelled TO yield, and now evincc
n more compromising spirit. One or two further
changes in this department will remove much cause
OF complaint, and create a better feeli ng, pro-
ductive of good to the people.

Another shifting has taken place among the
pieces on the political ebes~bOard of the admin
i~stration, and the result corresponds with the
predictions made for several weeks past by those
best qualified to judge. The Cabinet as remod-
died stands thus:
/ His EI- CHAs. CoFYIx HAREIs-HinisLsT Of Foreign
4fafrs-
His Ex. FEnp. W. HCTCHIsox Minister Of the
InfSTior.
Wis FL. J. Morn snTn-JuiHissr Of Finance.
HIS TX. STEPHEN III. PHLLIPs--4noTRsy Central.
The resignation of Mons yarigny, forced rs it
il understood to have been, on account Of differ
enccs with the late Minister of Finance, has
enabled the latter to construct n Cabinet more
To his own liking. with himself in the coveted
position OF Premier. IL is a most admirable sP-
pointment, for SO long as he remains the knight
errant Of the administration, the position OF Min
ister Of Foreign Affairs 10 that for which his
abilities best adapt him. II there is any vo-
cation in which duplicity, professional chicanery
and =. log-rolling,'' can be brought TO play with
success, it is that Of the diplomatist. Having
presided over the finances long enough to make
pr nicely investments in real estate, it now remains
10 enhance the value Of those investments. And
this, Diplomacy can accomplish hOc, time will
show. So that the whole country may yet see
the wisdom and fitness OF this appointment.
The appointment OF DocToR SMITH, Gate editor
OF the Gazette to be Minister of Finance, will
meet general satisfaction, not because of any su-
perior financial abilities which he may carry
the Cabinet, or any fame which he may add
b the administration but because he il believed
To be an honest man, which can be said Of very
few politicians. Whatever el-c he may do while in
Office, we shall probably never have 10 record ms
sugar plantations at wholesale prices, or
his nest and those OF his connections,
circumstances which may ut least create
distrust. If NOW, that he is I'M position
where he can exert a healthful influence in the
body polite. lie will act with Independence and
and not yield To others his convictions of
iuty, as he has often been compelled to do while
with a veual press, he may accomplish
ome good for the country.
On the whole, the frst opinion Of most readers.
the Cabinet will be, that - it amounts
o about the anne as before" 50 far as the gen.
policy Of the admins tratiOn is concerned.
What that has been, the people know too well.

correspondence is the most expensive luxury
served up from week to week.
To make n really independent and useful

it can appreciate but though it is impossible to
please all our readers, where SO many diverse

offending some where public interests compel us
to defend the right and expose the wrong, vet
nearly fourteen years Of experience in publishing
this paper have satisfied us that we have never

The custom Of decorating houses and churches
with evcrgreens is derived from ancient Druid
practices. The holly, ivy, rosemary, bays, laurel,
and mistletoe were the favorite trimmings, and
never removed till Candlemas. Chaplets of these
were worn about the head, and " kissing under
the rose, and " whispering under the mistletoe,"
are illusions to this practice. But the old Gus
toms in England have lost their primitive charnc-
ter, the gambols and carols are nearly gone by,
family reunions and evergreen decorations being
nearly all that remain of the old festivities. I

The Record and Farmer in speaking
of the State Fair refers to Mr.. Nelson b.
Douglass Hay Loader as follows:
N. B. Douglass of Cornwall, exhibited
a hay loader,which was shown in opera
ton on the Fair grounds. The whole
machine is a model of simplicity and
strength, land seems to be perfectly adapt
ed to the work for which it is designed.
The wagon being astride of the windrow,
the forks as they revolve catch it and run
it up through "shoot," and drop it on
the hind end of the load. 1t will take a
large windrow and place it on the cart as
fast as the team can walk. The whole
operation of pitching on" taking not
more than half the time required for
stumbling up the hay" by the usual
method. By the use of this loader a
couple of boys will easily get in 10 tons
of hay in an afternoon, in time for the
horse fork to unload it. This is a moder-
ate estimate. Next to the American
Hay Tedder the Douglass Hay Loader
may be regarded as the most valuable of
recent inventions for saving labor on the
farm. 1t is practical machine, and un-
less the price of farm labor comes down
from $25 to sl3 per month and improves
in the quality in the same proportion, the
hay loader and all other labor saving
machines must be adopted by farmers.
The loader can be taken off from the
wagon in five minutes when required for
other work, and as readily replaced.
