TO the Editor of the "st. Croix Avis"
Dear Sir !!

"IT is the Ministry's intention to have
framed a Draft Of Law containing modifi-
cations in and additions to the Colonial
Law of 9th November 1868, and the pro-
posaIs advanced during the deliberations
in the aforementioned Commissions Chose
Of June 1870 will in all essential
points be made the basis thereof; the
7 SO framed will after the Governors
It s. a to the Islands be submitted to both
Colonial Councils for their consideration
in accordance with ) 5 l, , and SIS Of the
Colonial Law. Also II preparing the re-
quiSlte reforms IN the Administration, and
in the Judiciary, all possible regard
will be taken to the wishes and de-
8ires expressed in those Commissions ;
but the Ministry must also in this
respect, in so far as the changes can
not be effected by Law or Ordinance or
under the Communal budget, reserve for the
Colonial Councils that participation in the
discussions or decision thereof, to which
they have a right therefore the Ministry
must abstain from fcrestaIiing the results
to which the Councils might arrive, by al
ready now entering into the speciaDities of
the contemplated changes. SO much
may, however, be expressed now, that it
will be the aim to introduce a reduction
in the Office personnel, simplifcation in the
r~outines Of business and reduction in the
expenses for various branches Of the Adj
ministfation, especially also by q reduction
of the military force, In connection with
time-suitable reforms in other respects"
Such were the words of the Ministry Of FL
nances in a Letter dated 23rd November
1870 to the Diet-Committee on the Draft
of Law for defraying the expenses for The
Colonial Department in Copenhagen.
What were now the desires and
wishes and opinions of those Com
missions in regard to the Chief ADJ
ministration? In the Commission for st.
Croix we find s Of the 8 members of the
opinion that the Chief Administration
should be seated in St. Croix, as hitherto,
while the Others (Jurs, Anthem, Sarauw)
held that there should only be l Governor
for all 3 Islands, so that the post as Presi-
dent should be abolished as special Chief
Magistrate post, and the Governor should
reside alternately in ST.. Croix and St.
Thomas, but 1 Member added this condi-
ton, that in each of the 2 Islands there
should be an Administration for the dis
charge of the duties of Chief Magis-
trate and invested with greater authority
than hitherto exercised by the Presidency
Of ST.. Thomas. In regard to thesalary etc.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES"

Everybody IN the country is familiar
with the little long-legged animal, which
he calls by a variety of names, the most
common perhaps being "grandsir long
legs" 1t is as nimble as cat and cum
ming, curious creature.
This is species of spider and is car
nivorous or flesh eating in its habits, seiz-
ing its prey very much as a cat seizes
mouse. But it differs from other spiders
in that it devours its VICTIMS bodily, while
most spiders suck out their juices, or
blood, and leave the flesh untasted.
The grandsir long-legs is very be neficial
and ought never to be destroyed. 1t de-
yours immense numbers of plant lice and
small insects that infest our gardens and
fields, and at the West it has attacked the
Larvae of the Colorado potato beetle, and
is really doing something to help keep
this terrible pest in check. We are
afraid that we shall have plenty for it to
do within five years, so let us not harm the
grandsir long-legs. Massachusetts Plough

DAISY'S SERGEANT.
BY FRED w. LORING.

By a special order from the War De-
partment, Capt. Burlington, Brigadier-
General of volunteers, was transferred
from comparative peace and comfort, in
one of our inland cities, to a remote mill
tary station, west of the Rocky Noun
tains This military station was named
Camp Jenkins, after the commander of a
surveying expedition, who established it.
It had been established because there were
Indians in its vicinity; the instant that it
was established the noble red man faded
away like morning mist, with the excep-
tion of few who did washing for their
oppressors. 1t was lovely spot; it had
cottonwood and willow trees standing on
the banks of rivulet of clear and spark
ling spring water and the parade-ground
was magnificent Tlawn of velvety grass.
Around this parade ground stood the
quarters of the garrison; at the head, four
cottages, belonging to the officers and
the surgeon, while the barracks and the
guard room completed three sides of the
triangle, the fourth being left open, and
showing a wonderful picture of purple
mountains, barren and verdureless for
thousands of feet, while the SUBMITS held
pine forests, and fields of dazzling snow,
that flashed on the eyes even in the mid
die of arid July. Outside of Camp Jen-
kins, for miles around, were deserts of
sage brush; inside was a natural land
scape, that by contrast seemed a bit of
a paradise. The inhabitants of this para
disc were, at the opening of this story, in
the Adamite condition, as far as the alb
sence of women were concerned. Mrs.
General Burlington had fatty refused to
accompany the General when she first
heard the news of his transference to the
West; afterwards, finding that the Gen
eral was placidly preparing to go without
her, she determined to follow. Imagine,
then, the scene as have described it at
Camp Jenkins, while General Burlington
is discovered on the piazza in front of
the cottage, just walked from his after
noon nap by the arrival of the daily
mail. In his hand is an open letter,
signed Matilda Burlington, which informs
him that his wife will arrive a week after
her letter.
"Crestle p cried the General to his
Lieutenant. who was crossing the parade
ground, 'look here, will you ?"
Lieutenant Crestle, formerly a Lieu
tenant Colonel of volunteers, not only
looked there, as the General requested,
but came there, and stood by the side of
his commanding officer. He was hand
some and soldierly-looking fellow, dear
to General Burlington because he was
brave, honorable, a graduate OF West
Point, and Philadelphian.
"Crestle," said the General, my wife
is coming next week"
$50 is mine," replied Crestle.
'tAnd the cottage is not in order; and
the carpets are not down." said the ten
eral, plaintively. "Here's the doctor"

Certain young Indian gentlemen, who
were pursuing the study of the law, were
invited by the Master of the Temple to
spend an evening at his house. The time
set for the arrival of the interesting party
arrived, but nobody came. When nearly
an hour had passed in fruitless waiting, the
doctors lady rang for the maid, who had
not become quite accustomed to the ways
of the house. She entered in state OF
considerable excitement. "Have none OF
the gentlemen arrived ?" asked her mis-
tress. ''No," answered the domestic;

AN UNFORTUNATE MAN.


Am most unhappy man,
I'll tell you how it is:
can't complain that have not
An interesting phys
Iognomy-or have not conned
The maXims of POlOnius;
Or that the Fates have SHOWN themselves
Unduly Pdrc0- monious.
Those ancient gentlewomen stood
AS sponsors round my cradle;
And when you speak of silver spoons
You'd better say ladle.
They promised should roll in wealth;
Should be the glass of fashion:
That any candidate should win
Whom had set my cash on.
They braided in my mingled yarn"
Long yarns of useless knowledge;
I've had private tutor-and
I've e-partly-been through college.

Though fellows were so partial
To me-thOugh peacefully Inclined
They would have made me Marshal.
sigh not for the buzzing hive
OF academic Bs
Who swarm when Alma Mater writes
Her annual pair o. DIS.
The trouble is, l recognize
A vacuum in my life;
AS my aunt says-I feel owe
Society wife.
But though my heart is sensitive
AS the Atlantic cable,
ike oceans wave above tits
Exceedingly unstable.
Amid the multifarious charms
In which the sex rejoice,
My WayWard fancy spreads her wing,
Incompetent for choice.
My bOsom's lord is rent and torn
Beyond all power of stitching
A thing of shreds and patches-for
They all are so beWitChing
say alack II feel a lack;
see no damsel pass
| hear no rustling silken dress
But that say "a lassl"
At Mondays ball I dance with Blanche,
And wish that were her man;
OR feel despondent If she don't
Select me in the German;
On Tuesday I'm in love with Kate
And long to call her my ward;
With that dear missionary nose
Which points the public skyward.
Al Wednesdays opera sue
To Sue-the mild mOnastic;
On Thursday adore the bland;
On Friday the sarcastic.
But though VOW my weakness shall
End with the week, on Sunday;
Tis all in vain-I know it will
Begin again on Monday.
There's Grace, with glorious orbs of black

They call her Goddess of the Day

Nor further seek for new ones

BY William Cullen Bryant,
They meet your thirsting gaze like wells
OF deepest sapphire hue:
UnfathOmed wells--as if you saw
To China-and right through.
But one by one, alasi away
To others homes they go;
Dame Fortune smiled on me, but ah!
Her wheel has turned out woe.
Oh, happy Mormon! who can take
A score or so of wives:
And not-like Bluebeard-feeI obliged
To take their separate lives.
And if a man can have six wives,
| sometimes question whether
There's any harm If he should choose
All six of them together
I'll ask our parsOn-he's met
Aphyisical agrarian;
But then he could not marry us,
For he's Unitarian.
SO I must fall in love again,
And Out-and DER and DER;
Until, like Solomon l reach

But why ones life should be prey
TO ffcklessness and doubt
Why this is thusly-is thing
No fellow can find out.

its popular contributor, Fanny Fern, is

The semi-weekly Republican. (St. Francisville, La.) 1872-1872, 1872-09-10

breeds decentralization dangerous
to the perpetuity Of republican gov
crnment. We therefore regard such
thorough reforms Of civil service as
are of the most pressing necessities
OF the hour ; that honesty, capacity,
and fidelity constitute the only valid
claims to public employment that
the offices Of the Government cease
to be matter of arbitrary favorit-
ism and patronage, ana that public
station become again post Of hon
or. To this end it is imperatiyely
required that no President shall be
Il candidate for reelection.
&. We demand u system Of Fed
eral taxation which shall not unnec-
essary interfere with the industry of
the people, and which shall provide
the means necessary to pay the ex-
panses Of the Government, ecomoni
cally administered the pensions,
the interest on the public debt, and
q moderate reduction annually of the
principal thereof and recognizing
that there are in our midst honest
but irreconcilable differences of opin-
ions with regard to the respective
systems of protection and free trade,
we remit the discussion of the sub
ject to the people, in their Congress
sional districts, and to the decision
Of Cong ress thereon, wholly free Of
Executive interference or dictation.
Z. The public credit must be sa-
credly maintained, and we denounce
repudiation in every form and guise.
s. A steady return to specie pay
ment is demanded alike by the high
est considerations of commercial
morality and honest government.
8. We remember with gratitude
the hcroism and sacrifices Of the SOL
diers and sailors of the republic, and
no act Of ours shall ever detract
from their justly earned fame, OF the
full reward Of their patriotism.
10. We are opposed to all fur
ther grants Of lands to railroads OF
other corporations. The public do
main should be held sacred to actual
settlers.
II. We hold that it is the duty
of the Government, in its Intercourse
with foreign nations, to cultivate the
friendship of peace, by treating with
all on fair and equal terms, regard
ing it alike dishonorable either to
demand what is not right, or to sub
init to what is wrong.
II. For the promotion and sue
cess Of these vital principles and the
support OF the candidates nominated
by this Convention, we invite and
cordially welcome the cooperation
of all patriotic citizens, without re-
gard to previous affiliations.
