BISHOP %GRuNDTVIG-

The news has just reached US from Denmark
Of the death of the most venerable man of letters
in Europe, who had almost completed the round
of ninety years, and whose faculties, @ month
ago, were as fresh and green as ever. To the last
he preserved his old characteristics ,-was a
vehement lyrical poet, a fiery controversialist,
and an unfinching reformer in Church and
State, and has been writing this very year
words as strong and clear as the utterauces of a
man IN his prime. One must 60 back to
Michael Angelo and Titan to find another in
stance OF the active and unbroken exercise of
the creative faculty through so long a range Of
years.
Nikolai Frederik SEVERN Grundtvig was
bornin 1888, at the parsonage of libby, in the
south of Zealand. All his relatives were
Zealand folk; both on the fathers and
mothers side the family had been Danes of the
most Danish intensity for long generations.
Perhaps this has had something to do with his
great love of all that is national and homelv:
OF all the Northern writer's, not one has 40 ex-
~cluslvely been a man of the people. When he
was only nine years old be was sent away to
school in J%utland, and while he was hero the
news came of the execution of Louis XVI. The
poet was wont to declare that he could remem-
Der 1t doubtless the great events in France
were the subject of much excited talk in the
tutors house at Tyregodlund. When he was
fifteen he was sent to the Latin School at Aar-
huus, but long before this his mind had begun,
to take in literary Impressions. On the wild
moors of Jutland, he had learned to steal out.

Those who know any thing about our
Island, know how dependent it is on the
Rainfall, know that, in fact, every line of
rain represents a certain number of pounds
of sugar, hence a certain amount of dollars
and cents. and, consequently, a certain
amount Of comfort among all classes.
Those who care at all about its prosperity
will then always be anxious to learn as
much as possible of the meteorological
state of the island, on which so much de-
ponds. From the weekly tables of the
rainfall which we publish, they will be
able to gauge the physical state of the is
land, to understand better than from the
most lengthy and elaborate description we
could pen, what reason for hope or des-
pondency we may have. They would have
been able without a word from our pen to
form a pretty correct idea of the miserable
prospects which existed about a month
ago OF making any crop, and that the fire.
quent, but partial and small showers with
which we have since been favoured, must
have Frightened the prospect of a better state
OF things for some parts of the island. A
look at this at the present time
would leave a very good impression on one

not fully initiated It must have been af-
ter such showers that the idea was conceiv-
ed to call the Island "the Garden of the
Westindies." But, on closer inspection it
will be found that it is not all gold that
glitters, that every thing, including the
leaves OF the canes, is indeed green, but
that the Canes III most places are wanting.
The showers hitherto, including those of
Monday, have been far from sufi-
Client to saturate the ground, and, as o
consequence, the canes are either stunted
or there are none at all, with very few ex-
ceptions. They are, besides, very back
ward, for, while we read that in Barbados
they are already arrowing, here they are
hardly well started in most places, and it
is quite clear that, without the best wealth
er tor the next two or three months, the
crop will be very poor, only in few places
paying expenses. As yet there is, however,
hope, and a continuation of good weather
and showers more general than those of
Monday 90 lines in this town, but
little or nothing in many places may do
much.
A child, between 3 and 4 years o. age, nam
ed Francis Wilson, son of Amanda Wester-
band, was found Monday afternoon at about
6 o'clock on the beach, Watergut, drown
ed. The Mother lives in Princes Street,
near the gutter which had been filled to
overflow by the heavy shower that day.
The child must have been playing in the
gutter, and having been carried off by the
current, was drowned.
nthe Colonial Councils meeting on Mon
day the 21st inst. Mr.. Dubois was relieved
of his trust as Vicechairman of the Coun-
Gil, and Mr.. Anthem elected with IA votes.
As Member of the Council Mr.. Dubois
was not an inapt scholar in that branch of
mental gymnastics popularity called speak,
ing sc'th tco mouths ;-as Vicechair-
man he was very expert in taking hints
Hence, we are at q loss to find a reason
why the Council should have been so will
ling and unanimous in relieving him now,
after having q few short months ago refus-
ed to grant his request to be relieved, on
the same grounds as now.

"TmEM's" OUR SENTIMENTS The

Hon. VIM. McClelland, member Of
Congress from the Lawrence district,
has placed most of the Democratic
papers of this section who have no
local political representative at Wash
ington, under obligations by the clcv-
orness with which he has kept them
supplied with Congressional Docu-
ments. Mr. NJ. shows in this act a
good memory, kind disposition and
a sound judgment. The Democratic

The GRAvEsT ISSUE OF THE TINES
The great question of tho day is that
of official corruption. This moral
pestilencc stalks abroad unabashed
throughout the land, and whether II
appears in the Executive Department
or tho other high departments of The
Government, or in rings in Legislative
halls, or in the municipal cnnncls OF
cities, they must be crushed, or true
Republicanism will perish. Great
culprits must be brought TO the bar OF
justice and punished as felons. High
positions and great wealth must not
shield the men who have amassed
fortunes by stealing from the people.
The power is with the people to cor.
rect this great and glaring evil Of the
time, and they must handle without
gloves the miscreants, whether high
or low, who pse their official positions
in order to rob the public.-Erie Oh.

HORACE SEES Ir.--A Washington
correspondent of the New York 1rib-

policy during tho present "slight on
pleasantness" among tho Republicans,
us follows:
The Democratic party is as noise.
less as rs cat in pursuit Of her prey,
while the agitations of their adverse.
ries are in progress. If they were all
shod in sheep skin Shoes, with the
wool turned outward, they could not
move moro quietly. But they are
preparing for the final spring with as
determined an intent as ever. They
will encourage the growth of third
party, torn from the Republican or.
CARNATIONS To the last moment, and
then they will meet and nominate a
candidate of their own, and, showing
a moderate platform and conserva.
tive candidate, wiz invite tho disaf
fected from every cave of Adullum IN

The Now York World calls atten.
tion to the fact that DIR. Porter, tho
last rcviser of Webster's dictionary,
has made sweeping changes in all the
political definitions 80 as to acoommo-
date them TO the novel doctrines of
the Radicals All such words as icon.
stitution," compact" Congress
"nation," "rcpublic," and the whole
class of political words, have been so
defined by DR.. Porter as TO furnish
arguments, in the very meaning Of
the words, against not merely the
Democratic view Of our institutions,
but against the views of staunch but
hounest old Federalist, like DR.. Web
ster, and against the universally ao.
ccptcd opinions of all our public men
previous to the civil war. A copious
citation of these dishonest partisan
changes is given. Under such circum-
stances the work, except in its earlier
