THE EX-KING OF SPAIN ON
SPANISH AFFAIRS.

A Turin correspondent of the
GazeAaf Italia, who, according to a
letter published by him in that pa
per, has recently interviewed" the
Ex-King OF Spain, Prince Amadco,
gives an interesting account of the
opinions expressed by the Prince on
that occasion as to Spanish affairs.
On asking the Prince to throw some
light on the present condition of
the country. the latter replied ;

in Egypt, is now light-light SO re-
falgent, so transparent, SO far above
the golden rays of the meridian sun
that it is eclipsed only by that i'm
mortal light introduced by the
divine author Of life and immor-
tality. Slavery, with all of it's &C.
cursed associations is smitten down
forever. And Freedom-maid Of
heavenly origin is risen exalted and
enthroned upon the altar Of our
glorious nation. Nor are we with
out living evidences of this great
change in our relation. Around
and with us are Brethren now joined
to us by the mystic tie off Odd
Fellowship. We meet them and
take their hands, and by the grasp,
recognize them to be Odd Fellows
good and true, and from our hearts
we greet them and may, our hearts
never grow colder in these frraternal
bonds Let us then rejoice and give
thanks; and present the ofeting Of
Free and Fraternal Hearts to God
who kept us from all harm, and who
has signally blessed our Order and
allowed it to prosper. -
Had we depended upon orr own
efforts and strength for success, our
eyes never would have beheld this
grand and glorious sight and our
hearts never would have been made
joyous and happy as they are this
day: Here let me say to you, our
Order has never been in a more
effective condition than at the pre-
sent. We have from the Twenty
Eighth Annual Meeting Of the A.
NJ. G. a report showing up to Octo-
Der, 1873. that we have Lodges in
twenty-three States and the
Territory of Colorado, Upper Can
ada, Bermuda Island. and Bahama

PROSPECTUS OF THE LoUISlASIAS.

was established to meet a necessity
that has long, and sometimes, pain.
fully been felt to exist.
Il was proposed through this
Journal to furnish to DUB PEOPLE
the information guidance - en-:
couragement and counsel which
they SO much needed in the transi'
ton from their former unfortunate
condition into the new and bette,
estate of American citizenship
In :resuming its publications. we
re-assure our renders and friends,
that, holding this journal true to ita
original airds, we shall honestly
labor to make it ano efficient agent
in fnrtherihg the interests of, the
colored people of the Nation, and
elevating Tie race that; il especiauy
represents! ;h~srfH 81 /, :
'%' policy: -, ~
As our motto indicates, the
|BdU1nAs1AS shall + ~Repuos.can al
alt 'hmes and under all ;circum-
stunces." We shall advocate the
security and enjoyment Of broad
civil liberty, the absolute equality
of all men before the law, and an
impartial distribution of honor and
patronage to all who merit them.
DESTROYS of allaying animosities,
of celebrating the memory of the
bitter past, of promoting harmony
and union among oil classes and
between all interests, We shall
advocate the removal of all disabili-
ties. foster kindness and forbear-
ance, where malignity and resent
ment reigned, and seek for fairness
md justice where wrong and op-
preston prevailed. Thus united in
our aims and objects, we shall con-
serve our best interests, and elevate
ou--oble State, to an enviable posi-
ton among her sister States, by the
development of her illimitable re-
sources, and secure the full benefits
of the mighty changesin the history
and condition Of the people and the
country.
Believing tina there can be no
true liberty without the supremacy
of law, W. shall urge a strict and
undiscriminating administration OF
justice.
TAXATION.
We shall support the doctrine OF
an equitable division of taxation
among all classes, a faithful collec-
ton of the revenues, economy in
the expenditures, comfortably with
the exigencies of the State or
country and the discharge of every
obligation.
EDUCATION
We shall sustain the carrying out
of the provisions of the act establish
ing our common school system, and
urge as a paramount duty the edit
of Il youth, as vitality con-
nected with their own enlighten-
nent. and the security and stability
If a Republican Government.
81 FINAL.
By a generous, manly, indepen-
lent, and judicious course, we
shall strive to rescue our paper,
rom an ephemoral, and temporary
and establish it upon a
that if we cannot command"
7e shall at all events deserve"
uccess.

Thus you see the tide OF Odd
Fellowship still pursues its onward
course, removing distractions, over
coming prejudices, and implanting
seeds of light and knowledge, pre-
pairing for a glorious harvest of
Friendship, Love and Truth. And
we believe that each new Lodge
will becomes sanctuary for a peace
;ful reign Of our inestimable princi-
pics. We have no reason to sup
pose that they will gather iuto their
fold sheep that will poison the rest
of the flock. But men of virtuous
aspirations and sterling integrity,
art such as have enrolled themselves
as members of our fraternity.
In conclusion, 1 would say, that
creed, country, politics or color
form no barrier to admission in
our Order ~ We have living proofs
of it, by the Brotherly feeling which
pervades the Brotherhood and the
committee management in England.
I would impress upon the Brethren
the important truth that Odd
Fellowship is not a religious society.
Let no mistake be made upon
a subject SO momentous and grave
as this, involving as it does, the
highest interest Of the soul Our
labors concern this world, the rela-
'tions Of manto man in it; the edu-
cation and training Of the heart, To
practice benevolence. This is an in
viting theme and might be enlarged
on. But I will not tax your pa
thence longer, and will close by
thanking you for your kind atten-
ton. o'asta

two years Spain will either become
Carlist or be in the power of the
Carlists-nnless, indeed, q foreign
power should interfere. But the
only result of this would be to make
the struggle more bitter than be-

st. Croix, says that che came to the island
at a time. when drought and worms and
other physical calamities had caused great
destruction" The same troubles existed
in the drought which eliminated in 1912,
and our recent experiences go in the same
direction. Dry weather, especially in a
particular season, and worms and bad
sugar are associated. Where now is
found, not indeed an efectual remedy, but
some kind of alienation against this recur-
ring destruction +? If we plant trees and
these trees grow up, they will retain
some of the moisture. There is not the
least doubt Of that. But the trees will
not grow in places where they should grow,
and we cannot afford to plant our cane
lanes with them; they were to be partly
the means TO an end they should con-
tribute to render other cultivation more
successful, not by attracting the clouds
SO much as by shading the land.-The at
traction is a disputed point. To grow not
only trees, but also other plants, we must
do as is done in those places Of India
where, as We have shown, the conditions
for vegetation are analogous to ours, we
must irrigate. But we have no rivers
and no inexhaustible wells. The same is
however the case in many parts of the high
lands of India, where they collect water
for irrigation in gulies, reservoirs and
tanks. The "Westindian in London"
sometime ago, advised the sending out to
the British Westindia colonies of an Indian
Engineer. The proposal was a sensible
one. 1t is not unlikely that he might be
able to give US ga practical plan" In
some places in Barbados water is collected
in the gulIies in so-called traps and not
only is the water collected, but the "mud"
also, which, in the dry seasons, is cleared
out and put on the fields, where it acts as
manure. Our hiIl-sides, serving as water
sheds, would thus be used as our roofs are,
and the g%ulIies, for we have them here as
in Barbados, as reservoirs. This is only
a hint, which by a practical mar might be
developed into "a practical plan"

DIED on The 10th inst. at his residence
in this town-after ten days illness Mr.. P.
Langballe, Veterinary surgeon of this
island, aged 81. He was buried yesterday
afternoon at 5 o'clock by Rev. WiIIemoes,
and his remains were conducted to the
grave by a very large %concourse of people
from town and country.
Mr.. LangbalIe was a native of JutIand,
Denmark, but came to the Westindies
as a young man after having passed his
examination as veterinary surgeon in Co.
penhagen. After his arrival here 80 years
ago he was engaged for some time in the
planting business, but for the last % years
he has been practicing with marked ability
and fidelity as Veterinary surgeon here
at first in this jurisdiction, and atterward
for many years up to his death in the
whole island.
In his relations to the public he was dis
tinguished for faithfuIness and an undinch-
ing and interchangeable fulflment of duty,
so that his loss will be greatly felt as far
as his usefulness extended, that is through
out the island. Socially the loss of Mr..
Langballe will be felt by all the many who
had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and
they deeply andheartily sympathise with his
sorrowing wife and children in their trying
bereavement.

To THE EDITOR Of THE "Sr. CRoIx AVIS

To THE EDITOR OF THE ''ST. CRoIx AVIS"
Sir,
I have been recently perusing the columns
of the st. Thomas papers, with some regula-
rity, and in the "Tidende," 1 have read an
important and interesting notice which gives
information to the public of the weekly record
of all instrumental documents passing through
the Town Court. [ call the notice important"
from more than one point of view; but that
which enhances its Importance more than
any other in my opinion, is the decided check
which the publication is calculated to have
upon the ~nefarious practice which is too often
resorted to by many i%nsolvent debtors, who,
on perceiving their declining state in business,
frequently so arrange their affairs, as to render
abortive every effort of their creditors to OBJ
tain from them their just dues. The fact of
such proceedings being Immediately brought
