EXPERIMENTS made by Louisiana
planters during the past year with i'm.
ported labor from Sweden, show that
the Swedes do more work and suffer
less from sickness than native born
blacks, under the same conditions.
Their labor has been very profitable,
both In the cultivation OF sugar and
cotton, and is likely to explode the
theory so long entertained that white
men cannot endure the labor required
to utilize these crops.

might be raised 10 1t. In marrying her daughter to
subject the Queen had not proceeded without the

acted in accordance with the womanly and motEerly
character Which HAD always led her to choose
for her daughters husbands ON whose prin-

gous grants TO the daughters or George ILL., for In
stance. Replying 10 the suggestion that the Crown
ought 10 save out Of It's income for these PURPOSES
he pointed ont that, though the Queens income was
large, us application was to great extent prede-
rermined, and that during the whole of the present
reign its economical management had been an ex.
ample TO every household III the country. The civil
list, he argued, when settled at the commencement
OF the reign, did not contemplate provisions OF this
nature, nor would II be convenient that
it should. he pointed out that though the
crown lands now produce an income only
about equal 70 the civil list, If they were
managed In the same manner as private estate
they would put the Sovereign In Possession OF the
largest income IN the country. What, for instance
if Hyde PARK and the other metropolitan parks were
