"GooD-BYE, SWEETHEART! is certainly
one Of the brightest and most entertaining
novels that has appeared for many years.
The heroine Of the story, Lsnore, is really
en- original character, drawn only as wo-
man could draw her, who hod looked deeply
into the mysterious reoesses of the feminine
heart. She is q creation totally beyond the
scope of mans pen, unless ii were Shakes.
pesre. Her beauty. her wilfulness, her cap
rice, her love, and her sorrow, are depicted
with marvellous skill, and invested with an
interest of which the reader never becomes
weary. Miss BrOughson, in this work, has
made an immense advance on her other
stories, clever as those are. Her sketches
of scenery and of interiors, though brief, are
eminently graphic, and the dialogue is al
ways sparkling and witty. The incidents,
though sometimes startling and unexpected,
are very natural, and the characters and
story, from beginning to end, strongly en-
chain the attention of the reader. The work
has esen warmly commended BY the press
during its publication, As serial, in Apple
tons Journal, and, in its bookform, bids
fair to be decidedly the novel OF the season.
Two editions are published, one in 8vo,

WEDNESDAY 26rH JUNE 1872.

From the Council on Monday last: His
Excellency Governor Billie was present.
The Draft Of Ordinance regulating the re-
lation of salary etc. of the Superior Admin
i~stration of the Danish Westindia Islands
was to a second discussion. In consequence
of the resolution passed by the Colonial
Council of st. Thomas, it was agreed to
withdraw the vote for q Joint Committee
on the question of subsidy to st. Thomas
Colonial Treasury. The proposal from the
Committees Minority for reduced amount
of table money, and of $4,000 salary to the
President, was rejected by 7 against 6,
(Anthon, Hanson, Jollitfe, Raupach, Ro-
senstand, Willemoes.) The Majority's pro-
posal for a salary of $4,000 to the President
and no table money, was carried with a
majority of s to 4 (Anthon, Hanson,
Raupach, Willemoes)-Rosenstand not
voting. The Draft then went unanimous
ly to the third discussion. After the pass
ing of a Bill to use $50, 600 of the Colonial
Treasury's means for bureau-advances to
planters this year,-His Excellency Gov
ernor Billie addressed the Council as fol-

He said he had to communicate that he

SHO Nv NPPNAINGo tAASAS AZ
here firstly in order to take leave Of the
Colonial Council next to express his
thankfulness for the support and the per-
sonal pleasant relations he had enjoyed
with the Members during his s%ojourn here.
He thinks it proper that at such an oppor-
tunity, he should, without entering upon
any single question nor provoking any dis
c%ussion, take a look over the year thus
passed, during which he has been mainly
responsible for the administration of these
Islands. The circumstances under which
he tried to fulfill the task, were not fitted
to facilitate the latter. The removal Of
the seat of Government was the first Cir
oumStance that rendered the work of the
administration difficult, particularly to q
stranger. Then were the fears which be-
gan with the dry weather last fall, and
which unfortunately have now been fully
realized, making it very difficult to keep
up a buoyant spirit and cool Judgment as
to the real lasting resources OF the Island.
These were circumstances beyond his con-
troll, but which certainly were not %tayoura-
BILE. He might quote others that worked
equally as much against his endeayours he
would, however, not enlarge In that dlrec-
ton, trusting that the earnestness OF his
endeavours will not be doubted because
their results appear unsatisfactory and IN
complete. And we may agree that they
are more or less so. But, then, he must at
once remark that he considers the work in
cumbent on the Administration of this ISL
and for years to come of such a nature and
ov4opf +hoF no mon 1pIacc ha q mo nr0UI-
ded with d magic wand, could expect to
have much of it carried out in a given
space of time. The mission entrusted to
him by the Home Government had two
objects: the Government wanted firstly to
have a full statement Of the public affairs
in the Islands, so as to form an independ-
ent and impartial opinion of the various
complaints which had recently been
brought forward by the Representative
Bodies and by individuals. This part of
the task, he hoped to have rendered him
self competent to fulfill, and if thereby he
may have acquired any right to an infu-
ence, he hopes sincerely that something
good may grow out of it, knowing with
himself that he has had and will have but
one interest in view: that of the public
benefit. The second object of his mission
was to prepare various reforms in this ISL
and by the means of Ordinances, and in
that respect the instructions of the Royal
Government had drawn bis attention to three
important points, namely 1, the condition
of the large labouring class Of the popula-
ton, involving their instruction as well as
their material life 2, the changes to be
introduced in the Colonial Law, so that the
Councils could work easier, and more con-
veniently exercise control with matters of
internal affairs 3, the examination of the
financial condition and resources of the
community. As to the first point, he
would mention that the remodelling of the
country schools and the town schools are
determined upon, and Drafts of Ordinances
will be laid before the Council and he
, 1872-06-26

would take the last vote of this Council on
the appointment of a School Inspector as a
step in the right direction, indicating that
the Council will be inclined to follow the
suggestions of the Government in further
ing this so very important matter with the
means which we have at disposal. The
conditions of the labourers and the revi-
sion of the labour-act has been the
subject of thorough and impartial ~investi-
cation by gentlemen who had kindly as
sisted him in getting at the bottom Of the
peculiar relations, and from which he has
learned much, and he trusted that when
we see the result of those investigations,
the Council will agree with Government
in keeping up the system Of yearly con-
tracts, as being the one most adapted to
the circumstances fist. Croix, to the con-
tinued benefit of the Iabourers themselves,
who will be encouraged to greater efforts,
and thus enhance the amount of labour
more than the former Regulations could
allow of. In regard to the second point,
the changes in the Colonial Law, a Draft
of Law has been submitted by the Govern
ment, and it is now left for the Councils
consideration and examination; he would
only urge the Importance Of the matter be-
ing settled as soon as possible, so that the
Community may not be kept too long
waiting and be exposed to agitation
in various ways. The Draft will, as the
Council is aware, have to be laid be-
fore the Danish Diet with your vote,
n~l - -; ~,oEAou ~ o4o~oo+ 4l,o4 49,
could be done in the next session of the
Diet.-The third point, the one which
has occupied the COUNCIL most during its
recent meetings, involves the question of
the reduction of the administration expen-
ses, and for one part OF them a Draft has
been submitted, giving no inconsiderabe
reduction OF experimentation the va
rious financial statements submitted to the
Council it will have been seen that the
financial state of the Island is not bad, nor
is it alarming, if we may draw a conclu-
sion from the accounts of the B%oOkkeeper
of what the Colonial Treasury owes and
what it possesses. Our great trouble is
the considerable 1uctuation of the revenue,
and the difficulty, if not impossibility of
making the expenditure to meet the In
come, when the crop Of the Island is bad.
Possibly some alterations may be made in
the system of taxation, but at all events
that difficulty is something inherent on the
system. The endeavours are and will be
bent on fessening the expenses of the ad-
ministration and on the other hand en-
HANGING the production. This is a point
on which he had once before touched more
lengthily than he can do now, but it is so
essential a point that he could not avoid
touching on it now again. Other means
have not been left untried to arrive at a
more reduced expenditure and a better ba-
lance in the public economy !; and if we
compare the Budget lately passed by the
Colonial Council with that of former years,
and when the accounts of this financial
year be compared with those of former
years, it will be seen that after directing
our efforts for only this limited extent of
