HIBERSIA BRANCH No. 9.-Few organ;za-
titns have had more pleasant episodes in
their existence than Branch No. of the
Hibernia Benevolent Society, and last St.
Patrick's day showed no exception, despite
the unprOpitiOus element, to the customary
good luck which attends them on all public
occasions.
After the parade was over pleasant sur
prise awaited them at their hall on Napo-
leon avenue the charming and accomplished
Miss Mary Swords presenting the gallant
band OF brothers with magnificent wreath,
symbolical of the day that they celebrated.
Marshal T. J. Burke delegated his chief
aid, Captain Tim Doherty, to receive the
handsome testimonial and to respond,
which duty he accomplished with the spirit
and gaIlantry of soldier and true Irish
man.
Still further fortune favored the men of
No. 8, for the lady of their estimable pres
ident, Mrs. Edward MCGOWAN, required
their presence at her residence, and there
bestowed upon them banner which is
simply perfect in artistic. finish. This time
Marshal Burke was not alowed-to delegate
his responsible duties, but returned the
thanks Of the branch in a most felicitous
manner indeed.
OF course all these pleasant events could
not occur among Irishmen without other
adiuncts to social festivities, SO that we may
safely assert that the members will long
mark the seventeenth of March, 1874, as one
of the happiest of their experiences.
THE NEWLY COMMISSIONED POLICE
JUDGEs.-Governor Kellogg last Tuesday
appointed Judge A. II. Macarthur to the po-
sition Of Judge of the First District NUM-
cipal Court-an important position under
all circumstances and especially SO Just at
present. Judge Macarthur brings to the
position long experience, dignity, nerve and
a clear record, such as any gentleman
might be proud of. The peculiar duties OF
his Office are very familiar to him. his occu-
pancy of similar place in the Second Dis
. trict having fully taught him the intrica-
cies Of the situation. His pleasant man
ners, quick perception, kind yet firm dispo-
sition peculiarly fit him to rule in SO trying
place. That he will prove acceptable to
the community of this district there is little
doubt; by community is meant persons who
90 not outrage laws. He will, as soon as
possible, bring his court into proper work
ing order; at least make such arrangements
as will furnish all concerned with proper
reception and accommodation.
In the Second District Judge Staes holds
his seat, having been recommissioned. All
that has been said of Judge McArthnr is
applicable to him. Having an intimate
knowledge of the people OF that section,
his appointment comes in admirably, and
his familiarity with local laws gives him an
opportunity to act squarely with al who
appear before him.

Wesley's Fickle Flame.

In l7t9, occurred an odd episode in
Wesloy's life. On one OF his mission
ary JOURNEYS. he had been taken sick at
Newcastle, where he was nnrsed by Grace
Murray, one of his female helpers, II
handsome, clever widow of iour-and-
thirty, Wesley himself being twelve
yolrs older. He asked her to marry
him. She seemed amazed, and replied,
" Hus is too great II blessing. ] can t
tel how to believe it. This is all J
could have wished under heaven" Wes-
ley quite naturally, took this as n for
nal bctrothal. But Grace had not long
before nursed John Bennett, a Meth
odist preacher OF about her own age ;
and Wesley was soon astounded by n
Joint letter from Grace and John, ask
ing his consent to their marriage. Then
ensued a comedy, lasting for months, the
like of which no playwright has ven
tured to put upon the stage. Grace
would have been content with either OF
her lovers had it not been for the other.
But, contrary to all example, it was the
absent one she wanted. When Wesley
was with her, she longcl for Bennett
when Bennett was Ppresent, she longod
for Wesley. How many times she broke
and renewed her engagement with each,
it would be hard to tell. :" love you,
she said to Wesley, "a thousand times
better than / ever loved John Bennett
but | am afraid if don't marry him,
he'll go mad" That very evening she
promised herself again to Bennett. a
week after she told Wesley she was
determined to live and die with him.
She indeed wante to be married at
once but Wesley wished for some
delay. Grace sad she would not wait
more than a wear. A fortnight later she
met Bennett, fell at his feet, and ack'
powledged that she had used him ILL.,
They were married week after. This
strange marriage seems to have turne'
out happy one. Bennett died in Tho
trumphs of faith ten years later. Grace
survived until 1903, dying at the age o
cighty-sevcn. For years she was

a comets tail is No more part Of the
comet than is shadow n part OF the OBJ

that the resisting medium surrounding
the sun for great distance is itself Iu-
minous in a degree, as indicated by the
2odical light that the nucleus OF com
ct is merely a large meteorlto tllat IN
its rapid motion through the resisting
medium near the sun, great heat If
thereby developed, increased by the
heat of the sun, causing some OF the
clements of the nuclcus to become vol
atili2ed. and thus to prevent the phcn-
omenu of the coma with it's glowing

called the tail is merely an effect oi an
increased luminosity OF the portion oi

caused by the action of the sunlight

Two BRoTHERs SHOT DEAD. - The
Memphis Avalanche of the 9th inst.
says A tragedy occurred at West sta
tion, a short distance above Canton,
Miss, on Saturday morning, few mo-
ments before the early train passed
north. Two brothers, names unknown,
were shot and instantly killed by man
named Marshall. The brothers had for
some time previous endeavored to force
Marshall into difficulty, which he
managed to avoid until the time above
mentioned, when both were advancing
on him with drawn knives in threat
ening manner. Marshall drew a pistol,
fired two shots in quick succession, both
taking effect, and causing the immediate
death of the brothers.

The Person of Jesus.

OF all the great personages OF history
there is no one of whom so individual
and living an idea may be had as OF
Jesus. For this reason because, brief
and imperfect as they are, they are
made MP OF Just such particulars as al
ways afford the most satisfactory insight
into the stuff and quality of the per.
sons of whom they are related. In the
free aud progressive spirit which dis
tincuishes Christendom, science is now
advancing as never before. Theories OF
life are becoming popular, which set at
naught our old theologies, and are re-
volntionizing our modes of thought. In
this state of things, what tongue can
tell the worth of such person as Jesus
The idea of Jesus, onshrined within us
by the aspirations it wi kindle for the
highest, will be a witness in our lnmost
consciousness Of the invisible and ever
lasting. Jesus so stirred the imagina
tion alone, that for ages, poor peasan'
as he was, he has been held to be moth
ing less than the infinite God himself
and this, too, not in the absence OF in'
formation concerning Lin, but in the
face of facts showing him to have been
man, tempted, suffering man. "Twc
things" said the philosopher Kant, GILL
me with awe; ; the starry heavens, and
the sense of moral responsibility il

The Spirit of the Rose.

Altar. or ottar, of rose is the utter
most virtue of her-the intcns', trans
ccndent spirit of perfume which sur
wives as IN immortal essence, when the
fair flower itself is dead. What, then,
is this essence? Even Professor Iyn'
dali. the magician OF science, with ms
tubes of glass and electric beam, has
never seen that spirit of the rose. There
must, never thelcys, be something which
exists and exhalcs. How else could a
little touch of musk spread its keen
odor for years and years undiminlshed
And how else is it that, as good Mos
lens believe, the scent waited by the
angels wing-bcat still fingers i'll the
place of the visions of the prophet ?
True altar of roses is all but indeliLie,
inelIaceable, immortal. Enthusiasts
for the noblest pleasures OF the nose
must not deem that they inhale this ce'
lestial fragrance when they buy those
deceitful little bottles of glass and god
cunningly wrapped in oriental-looking
paper and boxes. Veritable altar is not
liquid at all, or only liqueties at sum
mer heat, when it appears as golden
tinted oil or mucilage, too precious to
use in flask or vessel. The errdite
eastern perfumer touches that golden
clobule with tuft of pure, snow-ciean
cotton wool, and it is that impregnated
tuft which he sells as the vehicle OF fra
grance to his delighted customer.

fair promises for the crop Of 1875. Wherever
you go, the Cane Plantations are looking beauti-
full. We are only apprehensive that the Planters
shall not be able to take off their crop, if the
weather continue rainy. October has opened as
in former years, with heavy rains and winds.
From October the 9TH we have had fine sunny
days internationally with pleasant and bracing
breezes, which commence at about S d. M. until
midday from an eastward direction. The ensuing
Crop is estimated to be Z moro than the last. #

more. Although it is stated that good tillage is
much required, we are not blind to the fact that
good Capitalists are wanted. 1t is a, shame to see

From "the People.")

The weather commenced stormy in October,
but has now settled down to an alternate wet and
sunshine state of things most agreeable to all
concerned in the prosperity of our little Island.
When we compare the effect of the drought
sustained by Planters last year, and the luxurian-
cy of vegetation this year, by means of the beau
tlful showers we have had, our deepest gratitude
is called forth. But, the Planters in general are
dissatisfied. This dissatisfaction arises chiefly
from bad tillage. If in the West Indies there is
an Island that can boast of rich and fertile soil, it
is Tobago. And, if good tillage and proper man
agement is disregarded in one Of them it is Toba-
go. The Proprietors and Planters here regard
a spread of cultivation more so than the proper
manner of oultivating their land. But the soil is

The weather has been variable during the last
fortnight, dry, hot, sunny days, intermitted by
stormy days, with rain and high winds. On the
lower estates planters had begun to complain
that the land was getting TOO hard for holing,
but there had been a succession of stormy days
with extremely heavy continuous falls of rain.
The roads, excepting where the Stone-Crusher
and Traction Engine had been at work, and the
NoePs Hill road, and parts of the grand Etang/
road have suffered much from the rains of the
last few months. Vegetation improves day by

The weather continues favourable, but harvest OPP
~crations are retarded by the scarcity of labour. Many
acres of canes that ought to be included in this
year's crop will have to be left over until next year
for want of hands to cut them. Sugar is now coming
