REVIVAL OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-The
murder of Protestant Bishop in one of
the South Sea Islands has been the cause of
attention being again called to the vile
system by which SO many natives of those
islands are kidnapped aud carried away to
slavery in the British colony of Queens.
land. The Hon. Mr.. Kinnaird, at a public
meeting the other day, in reply to the
statement often made that these islanders
are free emigrauts. said that CAT least
ninety per cent of those so-called emigrants
were regularly kidnapped from the South
Sea Islands by English vessels employed
for the purpose, and that while on board
they were most barbarously treated, and
shot down is they attempted to escape. If
this labor traffic could not be properly
regulated-.and he was afraid it could not
let the Polynesian Labor Act Of 1868 be
repealed and the traffic entirely abolished.
He concluded by quoting the following ex-
tract from a letter received on the 4th inst.
from Capt. Palmer, of the Rosario, now in
PiyT outh, who had been sent officially to
the South Sea Ielauds in relation TO this
question 1t seems only yesterday that
Bishop Patterson was telling me that some
of these traders painted their vessels
white, like his mission schooner, and then
sent a sailor on ahore, dressed like a mis-
sionary, to tell the natives che was the
Bishops schooner, and that he was on board
i'll, and they must come of and see him.
More than one cargo Of natives was kid
mapped in this atrocious manner" Such
acts as these explain the desire for revenge
which must exist among the islanders.

THE BRAvEsr MAN IN THE BRITISH
AMY Many years ago an eccentric
gentleman in England left beQuest to the
Bravest man in the British Army" The
executors, not knowing how to dispose of
it otherwise, offered it to the Duke of We'll
lington. He refused it, saying he had no
claim to such title, but if it would be of
any service to them to know the man who
had, he thought, performed the bravest &C
ton under his command, he would point
them to Colonel James Mcdonnell, of the
Highland regiment, who defended the
Chateau of Hougemont, and shut the gate
of the courty ard, driving out the French
and subsequently defending it against the
furious attacks of Napoleon to carry the
position. When the bequest was offered
he at first refused to accept it, but on being
informed of what the Duke had said con-
corning his conduct at Waterloo, That
alters the CASE" said he, "if he says so,
and if shutting the gate and defending it
was the action that merited such a high
distinction, then Sergeant Frazer Is entitled
to the half of it," So it was divided be-
tween them. During the Canadian rebel
lion of 1887 80, the British Government,
approaching the services of SO brave q
man, appointed now General Sir James
Mcdonnell commandment of the citadel of
Quebec. Thue he served his country faith
fully in his youth and old age. He was the
brother of Bishop Mcdonnell of Glengarry,
the frat Catholic Bishop of Upper Canada.

So musioally drips.
Flowed never half 90 brightly
As the light laugh from her lips.
Her face was like the Lily,
Her heart was like the Rose,
Her eyes were like Heaven
Where the sunlight always CLOVIS.
She trod the earth 90 lightly
Her feet touched not . thorn;
Her words were all the brightness
OF q young LIES happy Morn.
Along her laughter rippled
The melody Of JOY
She drank from every chalice
And tasted nc alloy.
Her life was all . Laughter,
Her days wore all smile,
Her heart was pure and happy
She knew not gloom or guile.
She rested on the bosom

Years passed-'twas long-long after
And saw Fsco at Prayer;
There was not sign of laughter.
There was every sign Of caro-.
For tho Sunshine all had faded
From the Valley and the Flower.
And tho once fair face was shaded
In hfe's lonely Evening hour.
And the lips that smiled with laughter
In the Valley of the Morn
In the Valley Of the Evening
They were pale and sorrow.worn.
And read the old-old lesson
In her face and in her tears
While she sighed amid the shadows
OF the Sunset Of her years.
All the ripping streams of laughter
From our hearts and lips that flow
Shall be frozen, cold years after,
Into icicles of woe.

1t was with feelings Of profound re-
greet the people Of Memphis learned of
Coienel James 6oleman's removal from
the position of Superintendent of the
Western Union Telegraph lines in this
district Colonel Coleman had so long
been identified with the telegraph in this
city, was 50 well knoyI to all Glasses of
our people, and so popular with all, that
we feel as if his removal will prove a
public loss. He is the pioneer of the
telegraph in this city. He brought the
first line here tEapb-thres years ago
and located here with it. Since that
time he has been a good and highly es-
teemed citizen Of the Bluff City. Col.
Coleman was master Of the telegraph
system, understanding /, ia I'll its
bran hos, and fulfilling all the trusts it
imposed with an unimpeachable fidelity,
aud his removal can only be attributed
to political causes. So much for Radi-
calign and lis injurious results.

its assets, consisting of securities OF
