land, and, as a rule, emptying themselves
in the sea giving US reason to suppose
that in consequence Of the want of clusters
of large trees there, the heat arising from
land parched by a daily burning sun, check
ed their further advance.
An additional advantage would, in my
opinion, also be obtained by promoting the
cultivation of clusters Oftrees, for, under
their shade, the coffee plant would thrive
luxuriantly, as in coffee growing countries
under the same circumstances which, by
proper attention to the cultis alton thereof,
would not only yie'd sufficient profit to the
owners, but, considered as an article of eX-
port, also an item OF revenue to the island.
Starting from such points OF reasoning 1t
becomes apparent, that active measures
should at once be employed to prevent the
further destruction of large trees, and the
cultivation Of new ones, as also against
the extensive burning of charcoal (particu-
larIy in East Eud), or, many years may not
clapse before our yearly rainfall will still
further be reduced and, even those parties

Of large trees being able to attract tho
clouds when approaching the land, aud
in a great measure influence them to empty
themselves thereon as also thereby pro-
noting the facility of springs by the great

cordilg to Mr.. Octavius Nutzhorn, is TIE

out the planter2 A country with the
curse of ~barrenness upon it. What would
it be without the energy and capital SO
freely expended in draining it and making
it productive? A paradise of swamps,
in which the negro would sink back into
a worse state than his original barbarism-
a place in which there would be no trade
or property to bear the weight Of taxation.
But this is a picture that it is to be hoped
will never be realised. The planter is
there, and being in want of labour he has
to import it. In SO importing it, and
bringing his property into productive
work, he creates himself the colony gives
to it all its life and prosperity, and, in
directing a small fraction of the general
revenue towards the continuance of the
system which has produced such great
results, he is employing nothing more nor
less than the outcome of his own capital
the legitimate fruits of his own energy
and work. -Emopean Mail.

ARTHUR ORION.

There was unusual excitement in the
neighbourhood Of Mapping, on October
10Th, when a cab contained three men drew
up at The now celebrated shoemaker's shop,
and the cobbier himself was called forth to
identify the ''yeritablc" Arthur Orion.
Of course it was not made known who the
stalwart, bluff, Weather-beaten fellow in
true sailor costume said he was, but as his
companions were known to be true Wap-
p~ingites, and as one is already well-known
in connection with the Tichborne trial, a
general air of mystery surrounded their
proceedings. From the cObbler's they
went to the house of John Richards, keep
er Of the Clown Of Ramsgate," High
Street, Mapping, Mr.. Richards, to use
the phraseology Of one OF the witnesses OF
the interview, twas born at Wrapping, and
has been knocking about Mapping all his
life Mr. Richards had an interview with
the man representing himself to be the long
sought-for Arthur Orion, and put questions
to him which were answered without hest
tation and correctly. Mr.. Richards and
two elderly persons who were called into
the public-house are said to have been
under the impression that the stranger was
Arthur Orion, the youth they had known
years before when he left England. The
cobbler, however, was not quite so decided.
After remaining about a quarter of an hour
in the tavern the stranger lett He was
accompanied by a person named Frederick
Cronin, whose brother has been examined
as a witness Tor the defendant, In driving
through the High Street the man pointed
out tie house formerly occupied by the
Orion family. 1t was stated that he after
wards went to the office Of the claimants
solicitors in Poets Corner, where he made
a statement which was taken down in Wri-
ting, but this has been contradicted. The
account the stranger gives Of himself is that
for years he has been travelling about In
the bush in Australia. By accident he
saw in the newspapers an account Of the
Tichborne trial, whereupOn he at once re-
paired to Melbourne, and took a passage
direct to England. He is a stout, large
boned fellow, about S feet 10 inches in
height, and somewhat brusque In amer.
He seems to be well supplied with money
and, on some one in the house referred to
appearing sceptical about his story, he
ostentatiously took from his pocket 50t,
which he requested the proprietor to retain
as a guarantee of his good faith, The
money is now in the landlords possession.
The latest is 70 the effect that he has re-
ceived back the 5OL. which he deposited
with the landlord as a guarantee of the
truth of his statement, and has gone to
Brighton for a few days. It should be OBJ
served that though be has had a great deal
of conversations with several persons about

THE BACK The Baltimore Amcri-
can says The more the back pay amend
mout is discussed, the more glaring becomes its
Objectionable features. The practical operation
Of the amendment makes it not only, as 1t has
been popularity termed, back pay grab,
but also an advance pay seizure. In fact, at is
a measure looking both backward and forward,
enabling members to increase their own COM
pensation for work already performed aud the
new corners of the not yet assembled Congress
to reach forward and receive pay for services
yet to be rendered Under it every member of
Congress elect, who holds the proper certificate
and whose seat is not contested DOW draws his
salary monthly, at the rate Of 1925 per month.
Thus, there having been no March session,
members may draw s5,t25, before they take
their seats in December, which is s625 more
than the whole amount of the old salary, and is
to be paid before days service has been rem
dered, or before even the forms Of membership
have been complied with \ member may die
or resign before Congress meets, but yet he is
entitled to his pay, and it cannot be withheld
from him or his heirs

Loans IN EUROPE. The Baltimore Sun, in
its money article, says AS an Illustration Of
the extent to which European capitalists are
assisting the growth of our country aud its rail
way system, it is proper to mention the loan
which MIR. Thomas n Scott, vice president Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, is said to be about
negotiating. It is issued for the purpose of
building the Texas Pacific Railroad, and is for
the sum of seveuty-6ve million Of dollars, for
which it is reported in the Philadelphia Press,
Syndicate has bid 81 per cent. and it is un-

Such a transaction few years ago would be
deemed fabulous and visionary, but European

FRAUDS IN THE FREEDMEN BUREAU
The Attorney General has given an elaborate
answer to the questions concerning the Freed
mems Bureau submitted to him by the Secre-
tary of War. He says that the papers submit
ted to him show that considerable sums of
money have been taken from the treasury by
officers employed in the Freedmen's Bureau by
forged receipts and vouchers fraudulently OBJ
tanned from colored soldiers, and declares for
offenses of this kind it is open for the govern
ment to proceed crimiually as we'll as by civil
action. He thinks also that the Commissioner
of the Freedmen's Bureau is liable for all losses
sustained BY the Government through the de-
fault of subordinate disbursing officer or other
persons employed by him in the disbursement
of the moneys intrusted to him.
