"RambIes in Martinique" opens
the list Of contents Of Harper's Mag
Gziae for January, 1874. 1t is pro-
fusely illustrated and cannot fail to
give its readers pretty good idea
Of the fowcry, beautiful island that
was the childhood's home of the En-
press Josephine. Here is the de-
scription of the approach to the city
of st Pierre:
Two miles north of Pearl Rock
lies the little village of Precheur, on
a low point Of land. Rounding this,
the beautiful bay, harbor and city of
st. Pierre burst upon the yiew-a
splendid picture, with a wonderful
background of mountain magnifi-
cence. Few cities in the world enjoy
more delightful situation. On ev-
cry side there is beauty. On one
hand gentle slopes, covered with gar
dens and plantations and dotted
with villas, lead up to the lofty noun
tain cliffs /; on the other the lovely
bay, with its picturesque shipping,
and its low headlands with fisher
mems cottages and hamlets. The
climate of st. Pierre is equally at
tractive for eight months Of the year
namely, from October to May
the northeast trade-winds, blowing
from the sea, give delightful tenn
perature by day, while the land
breeze at night, laden with the fra
GRANGE of orange and lime blossoms,
enchants the senses and makes sleep
more luxurious than we can imagine
in our Northern climate.

A Washington dispatch says: The
official opinion of Attorney General
Williams as to the status Of the
steamer Vjrginius, dated the 18th
inst, is just furnished for publication.
He recites the terms of the protocol.
and then refers to the provisions of
the act of 1892, which details the le-
gal qualifications necessary to give
the protection of the United States
to vessels. The fourth section of
that act provides that the owner of
a vessel, before obtaining registry
therefor, must take the oath that no
foreigner is interested, directly or in
directly, in her or her profits. The
Attorney General therefore holds
that if the registry was obtained by
false oath she cannot be entitled to
the benefits of United States vessels.
He then recites the fact that the
registry of the vessel was obtained
at New York by Paterson in 1870
for certain Cubans in New York, and
Capt. Shepard, who left New York
as her commander at that time. tes-
tifies to having been employed by

The Great Contest.

Our satisfaction over the magnifi-
cent majority for the New Constita-
ton is so great that we have no in
clination to say anything to hurt the
feelings of those who honestly
thought the old Constitution on the
whole, better than the new; but in
justification Of some pretty strong
expressions in these columns, as to
the motive that inspired opposition
to the New Constitution, we make
the following extract from paper
outside of the state: The New York
Eoeaing Post is one of the very best
papers published; candid, honest and
intelligent, and here is its view Of
our late contest.
at has always been found in this
country that when the community at
large becomes thoroughly aroused
on any question of political rights or
honesty, that which is morally right
prevails. We do not expect that
the honest men Of Pennsylvania will
show themselves TO be exceptions to
the rule. The strenuous and unscru-
pulous efforts made to defeat the New
Constitution present fair measure
Of its prospective utility as an aid to
good government, and those who
believe in and wish for good govern
ment ought, therefore, to put forth
unceasing efforts tor its adoption un
ill next Tuesday, the day of the cleo
tion, when we hope and believe they
will find that they have won great
victory"

WE HAVE been so fortunate as to
see some numbers Of the Penna.
School Journal. and find in it SO much
that is good and instructive that we
wonder how we did without it SO
long. In the December No. there is
an article by j. H. Shumaker on the
sinner Life of Schools which, If
followed in all respects would be a
wonderful blessing to the rising gen
Grafton.
A list of the questions propounded
at an examination of teachers in Ohio
which in addition to the usual
branches Of learning taught in com
mon schools includes Physics, Botany
and Drawing. These examination
questions stir one up, enliven US, and
make us feel that teaching in school
is the best business. The Editorial
department is very full and the adj
vertisements Of just the things pco-
pie want, would alone make it valu-
able.
Lastly there is description Of tie
Sciopticon which viii interest all tie
