from tie Spectator.

The Russian Government has conclud-
ed a treaty with that of Japan by which
the Southern half of the Island of Saghali-
en- is conceded to st. Petersburg for ever.
The whole Island now belongs to Russia.
1t is believed that it is full of metals and
known to yield good coal while its po-
sition makes its owner, If a European
State and in possession of a fleet, almost
irresistible in Japanese waters. II, as
is stated, it is intended to work the
mines and forests by means of convicts,
Saghalien may prove o most valuable,
possession. One would like to know
what Russia has given in return,-alIi-
ance against China?
The first act of the French Assembly af-
ter the recess has been to prohibit any
more partial elections. The object of
this unusual and unconstitutional pro-
posal 10, of course, to prevent any in
crease to the Liberal benches, but it
has been accepted by the Left Centre,
on an understanding that the dissolution
shall take place this year. The Govern
ment IL refused to fix a date by law,
on, the ground that foreign complications
might arise, but it seems to be under
stood that the dissolution will occur in
October. A quantity of work is to be
got, through, before that, and the cal

similar to that now described by Mr.. Rus.
sell, and the result had been satisfactory.
I merely cite facts. Holding, asI do,
a general power of attorney from Colonel
Stewart to act for him in Jamaica and
Cuba, it may be presumed | am thorough
" acquainted with his views on sugar
manufacture and the various patents he
possesses in different parts of the world,
and, being his partner for the islands men
toned, am in some degree both response
BILE and interested in all questions which
may benefit or prejudice him.
Demerara is most certainly a progressive
country; unfortunately, the same cannot
be said Of many other of the British pos
sessions. My own experience of the
British colonies is, that men are deferred
from introducing machinery and apparatus
worked successfully in foreign countries,
from the simple fact, that they cannot af-
ford to fritter away valuable time in q
heightened and doubtful lawsuit, which is
almost sure to be the result. Sugar is
still made in most of these colonies with
as little care and skill as it was, to my
knowledge, nearly half q century ago I
speak of no island in particular, but Of the
West Indies generally ; yet, let a man in
troduce an idea, or commit the folly Of
taking out patent in the British colonies,
and he may look forward to trouble and
vexation. Some one or other who has a
coterie of friends and hackers will surely
start up with an Infringement, and every
possible bubble and prevarication will be
adopted to induce parties to avoid the legi-
innate article, and encourage the ~infringer.
am myself an Englishman, but have
lived sufficiently in foreign sugar-produc-
ing countries to appreciate to its full extent
the reasons why, in those countries, sugar
making is carried on in more profitable
manner than in the British possessions
generally.
Foreigners from all parts of the world
are freely admitted and encouraged. Per-
sons can obtain patents of invention
or introduction at a small cost, and confde
in the certainty of working them proita-
bly, without unjust Infringement, and far
from encountering Indifference, or perhaps
opposition, from the planters, these vie
with each other in endeavouring to work
successfully any new process which offers
TO them advantages,

Another terrible wreck was reported in
London on Saturday. The Schiller
q steamer of $500 tons, belonging to the
Hamburg Steamship Company, left New
York on the 28th April, with 263 passen-
gers and a crew of 1874 officers and men.
On Friday night, the 9TH inst, she was
in a thick fog off the Scilly Isles, but the
Captain, who had been working by dead
reckoning for three days, thought her
further off than she was, and kept her on
at halfspeed, and apparently without
soundings, till at 10 o'clock she struck on
the Retarrier Ledge. Seven OF the eight
boats where launched, but four of them
swamped, and one was lost afterwards.
Only two survived, and in them were
only fifteen passengers, only one a woman,
and about twenty-five of the crew. The
ship was crowded with women and chill
dren; panic seems to have set in from the
first, and the passengers and crew left on
the ship were gradually beaten from it by
the sea. A pavilion above the saloon was
carried away at 2, with most of the wo-
men and children I; at 8 the bridge with
the Captain and Doctor and a few pas
sengers disappeared, and about 7,3o a. m.
on Saturday the masts gave way, and
those on the rigging were drowned. The
ship was in every, way sound, and we'll
provided with boats and the main cause
of her destruction appears to have been
the desire of pu~nctuality, IF the Captain
had waited out the fog she might have
been saved. From the moment Of the &C.
cid cid!ent he behaved ewelllls but discipline
evidently went to pieces 7tza 9Iq,s.

tuents, and the, extreme Conservatives
are SO sure not to be returned that

Philanthropists sometimes get not a lit
tie ~despotic. The British and Foreign Anti
Slavery Society thinks, what is no doubt
true, that a coolie trade may degenerate
into a slave trade, and that native" in
terests in the West Indies, Mauritius, and
elsewhere require careful guardianship.
They therefore on Tuesday, through adepu-
~tation, pressed on the Secretary for the
Colonies what was practically q prohibition
OF the coolie trade. 10 reply, Lord Car
narvon very justly said that coolie immigra.
ton, if carefully watched, might be a bless
ing to the Colonies, and to the immigrants;
that even in the Pacific Bishop Patteson
had advised regulation, and not suppress
sion and that he himself might be trusted,
TOR The had just emancipated the slaves on
the West Coast of Africa. He might have
added, what everybody seems to forget,
that while it is necessary to protect
emigrants, evenIwhen they are Englishmen,
and while compulsion or deception on emf
grants ought to be punished, her Majesty's
Indian subjects have a right to visit her
Majesty's colonies if they like.
The Belgian incident s%'clearIy not yet
over. The German papers declare that
the Belgian reply, is thought very unsatis-
factory at Berlin, and will require a reioin.
der. Professor Bluntschli, who, though no
organ Of the German Government, has
more than once guided the National Liberals
to the official view Of international affairs,
has intimated that Belgium is making a very
great mistake in simply awaiting news Of
Prussian or German legislation, instead of at
once altering her, own laws so as to prevent
offences against ;" international amity."
And English correspondents telegraph sig
nificantly from Berlin that Belgium will
get out OF the scrape comfortably enough,
if she will only change her Cabinet, and
put back the Liberals into power, as the
Berlin Government desires. But this is,
we suspect, as we have elsewhere ex-
planned, the very humiliation which the
BelgianS, both Conservatives and Liberals
alike, are doing their best to avoid. In
deed, o Liberal Government forced on
Belgium by German pressure would be
in a very unfortunate position, and in one
fatal to its own popularity.

mother viii at once cross followed by the whole flock.
The acek stood waiting by the mpid river
And would not cross,
Although the shepherd kindly calrd them thither.
And banks Of moss,
And fields Of green, and veriaut hills. surrounded
The further shore;
The danger an their narrow vision bounded
OF crossing DER.
He stretched his kindly arms and gently called them
They would not heed:
The deep broad rivers rapid stream appalled, them,
Though pleasant mead
And mountain fair beyond the darklng river,
Rose 10 their view,
Aud IN the distance, bright, unfading ever.
We're pastures new.
The shepherd took a lamb and safely bore it
within his
To whore the pastures brightly eleamd before IT,
And all alarms
Were hushed The mother heard It's voice Of pleading,
And, crossing Ger,
The flock behind her followed In her leading,
Unto the shore.

Saviours voice
Ye would not hear. nor follow In His leading
OF your own choice
And 80 he takes your lambs unto His keeping,
That ewes all dim.
And dark with clouds, and sad with weeping
May look to him
And see, beyond the darkly rolling river,
Those gone before,
And to the fields with verluTe green Tor ever

HOW TO SHOP.

Shopping is almost worthy of being
called an art, if not science, and like
every other art it requires study and
forethOught. When it is thoroughly ac-
quired by wife or mother, she may
procure comforts, and even elegances,
for a sum which. without it, sufices
barely for necessaries.
To begin with, then, there is no econ
omy in buying third-rate article. A
very excellent calico is more useful and
nicer than a poor alpaca and fine and
soft merino than poor and fimsy silk.
No matter what material you decide up
on, be sure that it will save the cost of
making three poor things to buy one
good one, and you have the satisfaction
of wearing the good one all the while.
The best is worth the highest price
With children's dresses, for example, a
good material can be passed from one
to another, then turned, returned, and
made up again, altered, re6tted and
brought out "as good as new" when a
poor material would have been in the
rag bag. Of course all this must be
done by the mother, for there would not
be much saving in case the dress was
put out each time.
But because good things are general
ly expensive, it does not by any means
follow that expensive things are always
good. Here common sense must come
in, and soon little attention will en-
able one to tell at once whether a mate
rial is likely to wear, to wash, to shrink,
fade, or fray.
DO your shopping yourself, and pay
at once for t0hat yolt bag. Do not give
orders to any one else, servants or other
wise, to give to the store, but 60 your
self and pick out what you want. You
will be much better served. Pay imme.
diately for what you order; it prevents
you from buying many an unnecessary
thing when you have put down the mon
ey at once.

The AMERICAN GIRL.-The American
girl, according to Miss Bracket is a
unique creation. Born and bred at a
wide distance from European traditions,
she has character of her own. More
nervous, more sensitive, with greater &C
tivity of the thinking powers than her
European sister. she needs restraint rath-
er than stimulus. Surrounded from her
infancy with grand assemblage of diff
ferent races, she gains something of that
breadth at home which in other countries
can be attained only by travel. ''Our
girls are more frank in their manners.
but we nowhere find girls so capable of
teaching intrusion and impertinence
their proper places, and they combine
the French nerve and force with the
Teutonic simplicity and truthfulness.
Less accustomed to leading-strings, they
walk more freel y on their own feet, and
breathing in the universal spirit of free
inquiry, they are less in danger of be-
coming unreasonable and capricious. I"
Hence no system based upon European
life can be available in this country
The American girl, if treated as French
or German girls may properly be treat
ed, falls into the fault of both, without
the excellences of either. She will not
blindly obey what seems to her an arbi-
trary rule, and can be governed only by
winning her conviction.

LITTLE THINGs.-Little words are the
sweetest to hear little charities fly fur
thest. and stay longer on the wing; lit
tie fakes are the stillest; little hearts
the fondest and little farms the best
titled. Little books are the most read.
and little songs the dearest loved. And
when nature would make anything es-
peeiallY rare and beautiful. she makes
1t ittle-little pearls, little diamonds,
little dew. Agar's Is model PRAYER,
yet it is but little one, and the bur
den of the petition is but for little. The
Sermon on the Mount is little, but the
last dedication discourse was an hour.
Life is made up of little things death
IS what remains Of them all. Day is
made up Of little beams. and night is
glorious with little stars.

Lines to a Sister.

Dear Sisters-I have left the glow
OF ehildhood's sunny home,
No more 10 watch the rivulets TOW,
Or DER the meadow roam
Our youthful pastimes now are Ger,
The scenes OF happy mirth
No more we meet the same yore
Around the social hearth.
Each little nook wherein we've passed
SO many happy hours,
ON mem'ry's page alone has cast
It's bright unfading flowers.
The rose-tree that did upward tend
Above the easement high,
Oh. let it stiIl in beauty blend,
Recalling DAYS gone by!
NY early home would not ask
In place Of this. I've found
But ever will its pleasures bask
In memory's sweetest round
The friends In whom could eOnfide
In ehildhood's happy year,
Who strOve my many faults to hide
An, they must still be dearI
Dear sister, thou art left awhile,
Thy youthful home TO bless;
Let parents meet thy cheerful smile
With words Of tenderness;
For soon perchanee thou'lt bid adieu
To scenes forever dear,
To faithful friends, well tried and true,
Anothers path to cheer.
But. ere You take the chosen one
Companion of thy life,
oh, may yOu seek for riches won
In virtues noble strife
mind whose pinions are above
The wrong of fashions day,
Who boldly will through life approve
OF right and freedoms sway.
Yet. not perfection wilt thou ask
OF mortals here below,
Then, ever thine cheerful task
FOrbearing as YOU go.
And when from earthly care and pain
We seek purer land,
Oh, may we meet in heaven again,
In one unbroken band. U
