subsidy invested making $l,872 more on
paper. Instead, then, of this Budget, as
stated in the concluding part of the Re-
marks to the Revenue Chapter, showing
c. $40, 900 in revenue above that of last year
there will rather be $15,5OO below, be-
cause, if from the $25,5O5 paper revenue
be deducted those $4,000, there will be c.
$751; below the revenue for the past
year, but in this respect the portion of the
Remarks referring to this point is not very
clear, owing to the mlSstatementS occur
ling; on the whole, he had found it very
difficult to get through, and very often
it was by mere guess work that one could
form an opinion of what was meant. Now,
on the other hand, the public expenses
must be met, and it becomes our duty to
look out to see how this can best be done,
and, in doing this, also to see if no reduc-
lions can be made. He was glad to see
a saving effected on the Mail Schooner,
especially as. we had at the same time got
a better article. But he would have been
still more glad to have seen more of the
promised retrenchments, but we see none a
RUUu uCdl udS UCGI SdLuO Vi Gl1C AIllGdEy CADGu-
ses being less, but we still see them with up
wards Of $4,000. 1t has been said that
r~etrenchments could not be effected here
unless the military force be withdrawn
entirely he would say, let us do that. In
the St. Croix Avis a very feasible plan
had been offered a couple years ago by
which the military could be done away
with and replaced by a corps of Gems
d. armes; and he was convinced that in that
way at least $4,000 could be saved.
This was a hint to the eventual Committee
ON this Draft. I'm concluding, the honoura-
BILE Member pointed out the travelling
expenses of Governors Billie and Garde,
and remarked that if we are to have
Governors to come out often, it will be
rather expensive to us, and for the benefit
of the committee he said that there are

side the revenue is put lower than it may
turn out to be. Ills Excellency cited in
proof of this the results of the year 1872
70 when instead Of a calculated deficit of
$4,000 there had been a surplus of
S8O47. But, he said, none of the
previous years has been of the depress-
ing nature of the present one he had
not mentioned that result for the pur-
pose of creating hopesf for similar ones. The
financial results for I673-74 cannot as yet
be ascertained with any certainty, but, as
he had stated in another connection, there
is an amount of $50 600 in the Treasury,
besides the amount of $4,000 due by the
Immigrationfund and deposited in the
Bank, about SO. 900 due by St. Thomas
Colonial Treasury, and about $4,000 out
on Bureau,-makiGg a total OF $4,000
belonging to the Treasury. But we w
circa $5I 1000 to the Chief Treasury in
Copenhagen, and no one can tell how
much of those Bureau claims Will come
in during the year. After some further re-
marks of less importance, and observing
that this years late crop was untavourable
to the present Budget, His Excellency
concluded by adding that we must hope
that the coming year will make amends
for the sufferings of the present one, and
that we need not yet desPond.
Lemming after some Introductory re-
marks, said: The present Draft of Bud
get shows an income of$l74,668 and an
expenditure of S175,654, consequently a
deficit of ST, I66. The income includes an
amount of 500, 900, which, as His Excel
lency had stated, are only on paper, and
can be no income for the Treasury, since
it is simply taking money that was already
in the Chest to cover the deficiency it
cannot be ciassed among the revenue of the
Treasury for the coming year. But to
that amount comes something more on
paper of which His Excellency made no
mention, viz, the interest calculated on

THE "AVIS,"
CHRTSTIANSTED, ST. CROlX,
WEDNESDAY, 18th APRIL 1874.

In the Extraordinary Meeting of the
Colonial Council on Monday, the Draft of
Budget for St. Croix for the Financial
Year from 1$t April 1874 to 31st March
1875 came to a first discussion. Even
leaving out other matters discussed in the
Meeting, we could not, in this brief and
hurried manner which is unavoidable,
do Justice to the different speakers
on the one item, the Budget. Still the
matter is of such vital interest that we
have no doubt our readers will ex-
cuse the defective manner in which our
report must needs appear. The official
report, on which more time and pains
are bestowed, will give all the details.
The President, in introducing the Bud
get, said that it was Of a very uncheering
nature, but at the same time the Council
and every body who knew the circum-
stances will not be at a loss to ascribe the
very unsatisfactory results to their rue
causes, and therefore he need not diIate
on the subject. It would be seen, His
Excellency said, that the amount of the
subsidy granted from the Finances of the
Mother Country by the Law OF 9th March
1869, or at least the portion thereof now
at disposal, after adding interest ac-
cumulated, and after deducting the por-
lions thereof that are loaned out, leaving
$23, 900, has been entered on the raft
of Budget for this year. His ExcelIency
had always considered this money as an
item OF revenue to the Treasury, and that it
was at disposal, the same as other means of
the Chest. The way of getting it under
the general funds of the island was by
entering it on the Draft; and notwith-
standing the amount is now no income,
strictly speaking, but merely an amount
belonging to the Treasury transposed
from one account to another, there
was no other way Of doing it than here
proposed. The total amount of revenue
is thus $174,68S; if from this be deduct
ed the amount on paper, viz, the said
$4,000 of the subsidy, there would be
circa $751; 900 remaining to meet a cal
culated expenditure of SI75,854 being a
deficiency Of S24, 500 in round figures.
This deplorable result was to be ascribed
to the series of bad years we have suffered
from. But at the same time that there is
no use in attempting to gloss over the fact
OF the great deficiency, it must be remem-
bered that the amount of calculated ex-
penditure includes $4,000 as an extraordi-
nary outlay for preparatory measures con-
corning Central Factories, etc, and as little
as the $4,000 could strictly come under
revenue, so little could those $4,000 be
classed among the annual expenses. 1t
must also be remembered that in making
up the Budget the expenditure is put at
the highest figure, and to keep on the safe

large cOncourse of respectable inhabitants. He
was very popular in this community on account
of his affable manner, and his assiduity in bust
ness gained for him the esteem and regard of all
who knew him.

Where Haze Comes to a Head.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes:
Il have receu ~ learned some interest
ing facts resp cting manufacture IN
which every female head throughout
the land is interested, namely, the
preparation of human hair and its trans
formation into switches, ringlets, etc
The largest establishment of this ma
ture 10 the world exists in Germany
1t is situated III town called Wetzler

depot to which the travelling c)lect-
ors of hair bring sheir wares 20 dispose
of, and so extensive are there transac-
tIons that their wares are arranged In
bales, each containing three and four
hundred pounds OF hair. These bales
each contain a heteror, eneous mass OF
human locks of every shade and tex
ture, from raven black to haxen blonde,
from horsehair coarse ness to silken fine
ness. This is the material ia the
rough, and very dirty and disgusting
are often the peasant-grown tresses when
brought into the factory, But fear
nothing, ladies fair, respecting the
cleanliness of your alien locks; all the
hair is thoroughly boiled before being
placed in the hands of the work girls, of
whom 600 are employed in this estab-
lshment. The hair, when dried and
snoothed, is then carefully sorted &C.
cordng to color and length. Good
brown hair of average length is worth
about SIS per pound; the highest
priced hair Is pure white, long tresses
of which are sold, not by the pound
but by the single hair. each hair be-
ing valued at about half cent. The
most valuable of the natural hues is
pale gold; Il switch of that color was
displayed, valued at nearly SlOO, ev-

curiosity there was switch of light

Committee of Education.

The removal of this committee back to Mem.
phis will, we hope awaken a new interest and
more zeal in the work. Repeatedly has our Synod
asked this return, and now that the Assembly has
deVolved the responsibility upon us, ii is to be
hoped that we will come molly up to it. Our Ed.
ucaton interest has anguished because our church
es but more especially our ministers, have not been
alive to its importance. Our former beloved Sec
rotary, with the arduous duties connected with
the Publication cause resting upon him, was over
worked and called for help. The Assembly ap-
pointed a separate Secretary and Committee, to
take charge OF this part Of his labors and located
it at Memphis and we of the Southwest are ex-
ceedingly anxious that the result will prove the
wisdom of the move. 1t was one project which
our dear brother Cummins, now at home in glory,
was very anxious to see accomplished and much
aid would his labors, his cOunseS, and his prayers
have given to us if he had been permitted to stay
with us and work In the cause. He loved it and
delighted to labor for it.
1t is with sorrow and shame that we have seen
our young men, who, when the Church called for
laborers, come to her saying, here are we, send
u.s. forced by the low state of the finances of the
Committee, to turn back and seek in secular EN-
Payments that support which the Church refused
to give them. May our heavenly Father grant
that it may never be so again, but may he pour out
upon his Church renewed zeal in this cause, and
not only raise up to many sons of the prophets,
but put it into the heart of his people to give lib
orally to this good work. No Secretary and no
Committee can coin the money, and unless our
members and especially our ministers, can be
aroused to the Importance of the cause, it must
continue to languish.
We specially name our ministers because we have
long since learned that in nine cases out of ten,
the blame for non-coontributing churches rests
alone upon the watchmen set over them. They
never ask them to give. We never have seen the
congregation, and hope never to see one, which
when this cause was plainly laid before it, refuse
to give something. Memphis Presbyterian.

Ecclesiastical Relations of Hampden Sidney
College, Va

In the Central Presbyterian of the 18th ult we
gave the substance of the paper adopted by the
Trustees in reference to the discussion and action
of the Synod of Virginia last fall. 1t may be well
to publish the exact paper.
The Trustees of Hampden Sidney College have
been greatly grat6ed to learn that such cordial
interest was expressed in the welfare of this lnsti
tuition by the Synod of Virginia at its last meeting
Approaching, as we do, all the aid, material and
moral which that venerable court can give to this
College, we accept, with gratitude, the assurance
of its readiness not only to continue its favors but
to enter upon such new relations as may be con-
sistent with the constitution of the Church, and
with the interests of the College.
This Board would readily consent to the specific
proposition to give the Synod veto power in the
election of Trustees were our individual feelings of
confidence in the Synod and our grateful regard
for its kind intentions toward the College alone to
be considered
But, in view of the fact that many members of
the Synod itself we're doubtful as to the propriety
of assuming any ecclesiastical control of the College,
and of the additional fact that not only would the
consent of the Legislature of Virginia be required
to give sanction to such arrangement, but that any
proposition of the kind would be certainly met with
earnest opposition in that body, the Board deems
it inexpedient, at present, to encounter the risk Of
the rejection of such measure by the Legislature
of the State.
Now, we hold our charter by secure tenure;
but any change in its terms or conditions might
render it liable to repeal amendment at any flu
ture time; inasmuch as, by general statute in
force since 1862 all acts of incorporation, such as
the one suggested to the Synod Of Virginia are IL
able to be amended altered or repealed at the will
of the Legislature, and if the College was to refuse

clining to sanction the proposed union with the

the subject OF using fermented wine in the Lord

icating wine. The Synod agreed that as the peti
ton raised question as to the wine usually EN-.
poyed and thus effected the interests of the church
at large, it could not be taken up in its present
form and can only be introduced by overture
The Synod also resolved to petition Parliament

lish churches and to oppose all legislative propo
sails to deal with the questions of patronage in the
Established Church of Scotland, otherwise than as
part of final measure for the dsestablishment

it wisest to seek no changes which might expose
us to such hazard

to give every pledge to that effect which Its consul.

permission
We do not believe that any education is health,

heartily and uuequvocally aver and announce that
Hampden Sidney College is denominatonally Pres

present organization, and that it is the fixed pur
pose of its Board of Trustees, by the exertion Of
every legitimate influence, to maintain the dis
