SCANDAL, A NECESSARY OF
LIFE.

How could a community, especially a
small one, live without scandal. The
community may be poor and the diet of
most Of its members may be scant it
matters not, so they have the spiritual
food furnished by scandal. Therefore
care should be taken in every well-regulat-
ed community or family that it is never
wanted. 1t should be found, and is found,
among the high and the low, the rich and
the poor, among the educated and the
ignorant, in your home and abroad, even
the House of God should not 60 free,
but ought to be polluted with scandal.
Everything can be manufactured into
scandal if your walks should be in the
solitude of the desert, somebody will find
q scandal in it if for charity you visit that
sick person in yon poor shanty there is a
scandal 10 it if you are called at mid
night to the bedside Of your dying friend,
take care there is no scandal in it; if you
happen to sit in the study with your pas
tor, receiving spiritual comfort, there may
be scandal made out of it; go to your
priest for protection, it is a scandal pull
the last cent out of. your pocket to give
a starving woman, it is a scandal especial
ly take care, if you are poor not to go live
as servant, for it is a most scandalous
affair. Scandal is a hardy plant, it grows
in every soil and every cline, and does
much good, for it fosters and feeds. every
noble instinct in the human mind, and
were it not for scandal. it would not be
worth ones while to live.

D. Accurate information on all these heads
should, | think, be obtained by the local Gov
eminent land there can be no expense or diff
oHity attending the obtaining of it from intblli-
gent settlers and, from the records of the ISL
amp before taking any other step. 81:
Supposlng this information obtained and that
II should still appear desirable TO send a repor-
ter to the Island, or should it be found expe.
dent to send a special Reporter to obtain The
information | would recommend the employ
ment OF some one conversant with Coffee Gull
tlVatlon in the West Indies in preference to a
Oeylon Planter.
In the first place the sum Of ee20O ought 20
be far too insignificant to induce q Ceylon
Coffee Planter of capacity aud experience to
go to distant country, and stake his reputa-
ton on the issue of a Judgment which may in
woke the good or bad investment of many
thousand pounds and. determine the material
Prosperity or the reverse Of a considerable
population.
2ndly. The result Of sending special Re-
pOrters from one hemisphere to another for
similar purposes to this has not always been
very favourable, as 10 the case of the Ameri.
can Cotton Planters sent TO India.
3rdly. The Superintendent of the Govern.
ment Garden at Trinidad, q man Of ability
anu experience, and who has visited Jamaica
and other West India Islands, and understands
coffee plantations, is q person who could be
more economically and advantageously employ
ed in obtaining information than o stranger
to the West Indies could be-, and he is fur
Their q person who might suggest other cul.
t~iyations, as important as coffee and possibly
more suitable, besides giving valuable lnfor-
nation on a variety of collateral subjects.
Lastly. He would accomplish this in as
few days as it would take weeks for the Oey-
Ion Planter to do it in and much information
which such o man might thus obtain might
be of great use on his return to Trinidad to
the Government Of that Island,
Under these circumstances l would sug-
gest that should a report be desired the
Presidency of Dominica be consulted as for
the expedienoy Of applying for the services
of the Government Gardener ct Trinidad
as a preliminary step at any rate and that
he be offered gratulty and his expenses for
a report on the circumstances which have led
to the abandonment of coffee cultivation on
a large scale in Dominica, and on the expedien-
oy for its re-introduotion being promoted by
Government measures.

DOMINICA.

DR.. HOOKER, the eminent Director OF the Row
al Gardens at Kew, than whom there Is no safer
authority on tropical soils and products, writes
to Mr.. MEADE, the Assistant Under Secretary
in charge of the West Indian Department in
the Colonial Office.
Sir, Referring to your letter of the 18th
July enclosing dispatches from the Governor
of the LoeWard Islands on the subject of the
re-introduction Of Coffee cultivation into the
Island of Dominica and of sending an expe-
rienced Ceylon Coffee Planter to report on the
suitableness of that Island for this purpose. l
have to observe =
/, That the natural suitability Of the eli
mate and soil of Dominica for Coffee cultiya.
tion is already incontrovertibiy proved bv the
fact cited by President Eldridge and Governor
Irving that for a long period the exports Of that
article we're immense and its quality proverbi-
ally good to which would add that the Island
is not only still selfsupplied with excellent
Coffee, but exports a surplus to the neighbour
ing Islands.
Except therefore it can be shown either that
the climate has changed or the soil been ex-
hausted, it must be considered that the rein
PRODUCTION of Coffee cultivation on a larger
scale than now obtains is a question of expedi-
NhSy ubu uOG VI outCoUiIttS Va udluEAk GOQQI~
tions.
9. If the climate has changed it can only
be through destruction of the Forests which
has caused The abandonment Of all cultivation
in several once most fertile West Indian ISL
ands and any further clearance of the Forests
in Dominica as suggested by II. E. Governor
Irving for forming new Coffee plantations will
therefore in such q case simply aggravate the
evil and preclude of re-introduction by such
means.
8. If the climate has not changed, but the
soil of the former Coffee plantations been so
exhausted as to render the further cultivation
of Coffee on them Improbable, it is easy to
remedy this by manures, or other measures
employed in tropical Coffee plantations all over
the world.
A. If neither of these causes have operated,
the abandonment of cultivation must have been
due either to disease in the plantations; to the
ravages of insects or to want of enterprise, or
to other cultures being more profitable or to
the emancipation of the slaves, and the couse-
quent difficulty of obtaining labQur,
