To the Editor of the "St. CrOix Avis"
Mr.. Editor

Mr.. Editor
You will no doubt willingly give the
following a space in your valuable paper:
While everybody is thinking and speak
ing Of those unfortunate sufferers in our
Mothercountry, it is very pleasing to learn
that our poor have not been forgotten dur
ing this season, called everywhere the
"merry Christmas. We hear "a merry
Christmas and a happy New-Year" nun
dreds OF times. We express these wishes
ourselves, may be without thinking that
many. during this period hardly have sufi-
cient to satisfy them. The labourers in
the country are always we'll provided for
by their masters, but what is the condi-
ton OF the numerous poor that fill our
towns Certainly a great deal is done and
given, but it has to be begged for, and
many will not really own, that they are
poor, and consequently get nothing.
1t is therefore very joyful to learn that
on Christmas day, a lady, well known for
her charity, distributed sufficient dinner to
a very large number of poor people, and
that on New-Years-Da the "B~enevolent
Society" did the same, as far as known, to
SO of the poor. This latter distribution
was, OF course, principally to the poor of
the Lutheran congregation.
Remarking that this society, which for
years has done so much good, is founded
, 1873-01-04

and kept up specially by ladies, we can
not close without congratulating the "fair
sex" and hope that it will maintain its
rights, shown particularly by this charita-
Die action, and at the same time, we, the
stronger SEX, promise to repent, requir-
ing merely to be reused out Of the limo
cent sleep, natural to our climate, to rem
der our assistance in supporting the so
ciety.

To THE EDITOR OF THE AVIS"

" AdE EDITOR OF THE " AVIS"
Sir,
| had not the pleasure of being at the
Meeting of the honorable Members of the
st. Croix Savings Bank held on Monday
last and, hence, l was deprived of the
gratlhcatlon Of hearing the many sound
and logical reasonings said to have been
advanced pro and con, more especially
those OF the ever-active Mr.. Carl Brandt.
| had hoped to find a report of those valua-
Die remarks In your last columns; but was
disappointed. It is excusabIe so far. for.
/ have heard from some who were present,
that Mr.. BIS remarks, which were the best
e. OF all, could be understood ia several differ
ent ways; but that's of course a matter of
taste. Ihave heard that NJ. B dweIt on nv
last letter to you. One person told me
that my worthy old friend Mr.. B. even
had an exchange Of arguments with Mr..
Rosenstand, and that he undertook to correct
grammatical errors; his talking machine
must have been we'll wound up. [ notice.
however, that the measure was, in a sense,
carried by a Majority hnt l am at a loss
to know if Mr.. b. is among them. He is
a charitable man, all the world knows that;
but then, he had said beforehand, and, as I
am told, repeated at the Meeting, that he
was inclined to give nothing. lam further
told Mr.. B. denied what l had stated in NV
letter to you; l regret his authority is not
as good as that Of the Trustees of the Bank.
Another individual! told me that that wasthe
only rational (but of course fYlse) thing
stated by Mr.. B., all the rest being laugh
able rodOmontadeS, such as have been
wont to hear from Mr.. b. when [ asso-
clated with him for YOU must know be
and are old Creoies together) and when he
used to talk Of the former and the present
Administrations, of Mr.. HeiIbuth's articles,
and God knows what else be used to harp
on,
Mr.. B. is a very useful man in the Bank
and in the Communjty.-Therefore also we
hear OF his having been appointed Member
OF the Water Supply Commission I hear he
IS the Leading man therein, but that. ~unfortu-
nately, he can't agree with Mr.. ScheIIerup,
the Inspector, who IS, Of course also a pro-
minent agthoriJy in this respect. But
Water IS much nceded-among other
purposes for use at NJ. Brandl's & Cos.
frequent political lectures in the Baah- Hall
and under our Galleries, where the danger
OF combustion is great, partly owing to the
innate fire abiding in the lecturers, and the
live political sparks scattered among the
ignitible listeners. After all what | have
heard, l think an engine and a good supply
OF water would have BEEN Of excellent use
also at the meeting on Monday 30th, espe-
cially during Mr.. Brandt's open-mouthed
speech.

'aThe new law is very stringent one.
The roads will have some difficulty in com
plying with it, particularly in the matter
of through freights carried across the
State in connection with outside roads
There is great competition between the
rival trunk lines extending from the Allan
tic to the Mississippi and beyond for this
through freight, and their habit is to carry
it for much lower rates in proportion than
they charge on way freight between non
competing points. But under this law.
Though freight going from New York to
st. Louis or to Kansas City. will have to
be charged across Illinois full way rates, or
else way freights will have to be reduced
to through rates This will be the crucial
test of the roads ability to conform to the
law.
The Illinois State Register says:
THE people have much to hope fol
from the excellent railroad and warehouse
commission, which is now clothed with
sufficient power to go to the root of thi,
very intricate question, and report intel
| ligently Of their work .
/ Which we don't believe a word Of The
commissioners may be excellent men, bu
/ they can't make law, nor enforce what il
not law. Their report may be valuable, il
the future, but it is our opinion that tn
farmers will not find this law such an on,
as they want.
