To the Voters of the Town OF
Christiansted and Suburbs.
GENTLEMEN !

Referring to my communication to you
of 10th inst, I beg further to inform you
that Mr.. Lemming 10 the Avis of the 2lst
inst, has acknowledged himself to have
been the head and front Of the Canvassers
in question, hat on his word of honor he
believed the statement he gave you regard
ing me, that he still believes it, that he
opposed my election on that basis, and that,
besides expressions Of q private nature, in
a document of mine he holds the proof.
If Mr.. Lemning will kindly publish
the document he mentions / shall thank
him. II will be found to contain no allu-
sion to Central Factories, but to a loan,
and Mr.. Lemming knows that when that
document was read in the Council the ques-
ton before that body was not OF Central
Factories, but Of o Loan OF 81 5000.
See debate on Draft of Ordinance concern
ing Extraordinary measures for the conduct
ing of Estates in the island of St. CrOix,
published in the St. Croix Avis 18th
April 1874. Mr.. Jennings statement,
therefore, that that document was laid
before the Council as a better remedy for
existing evils than the factories is not with
in the verge Of truth.
On the 18th November 1874, published
in the st. Croix Avis 9th December 1874,
was voted the DratC Of Ordinance enabling
the Government to facilitate the ways and
means for tie erection of Central Facto-
ries in this island. The names ofthe voters
for and against are given. Mr.. Lemming
was present, and, therefore, by my vote
in favour ofthe factories, knew my opinion
and my wishes regarding them.
With Mr.. Lemming on the subject Ihave
had no expressions of q private NATURE"
but with others concerned who We re- also
present at the vote of 18th November, and
with many / have conversed repeatedly,
always strongly in favour of the scheme.
Me- Lemming, therefore. as regards fact,
has nothing left him but his sword of
honor" and every body knows, he better
than oil, that, % evidence 10 this case, or
, 1875-05-01

judicially, his word OF honour alone is not
sufficient.
The foregoing, then, Gentlemen, forms
the reality of the case.
Publicly and personally, for the mo-
ment the question is Of no political inn
portance but if purity of cleo ions and
personal character involved in them are
Of value and to be guarded, the coming
New Colonial Law should afford that
security.
The delay in forwarding this commu-
T~ication has been occasioned by solicit
tations for silence.

St. Patrick's Day.

St. Patrick was born about the year 372, and when sixteen year of age was carried off by pirates who sold him into slavery in Ireland, where his master em- ployed him as swineherd on the we'll known mountain of Sleamish, in the county of Antrim. Here he passed seven years, during which time he acquired 8 knowledge of the Irish language, and made himself acquainted with the man. ners, habits and customs of the people. Escaping from captivity and after many adventureg re, ching the continent, he was successively ordained deacon, priest and bishop, and then once more, with the authority of Pope Celestine, he re- turned to Ireland to preach the Gospel to it's then heathen inhabitants.
 As the birthplace of St. Patrick has been disputed, so has that of his burial. But the general evidence indicates that he was buried at Down-P Patrick, and that the remains of St. Columb and St. Bridget were laid beside him.
 A good many stories are told of St. Patrick. The following is one of the snake stories told of him: In the Galtee or Gaultree mountains, situated between the counties of Cork and Tip perary, there are seven lakes, in one of which, called Lough Dilveen, it is said St. Patrick, when banishing the snakes and toads from Ireland, chained mon ster serpent, telling him to remain there till Monday. The serpent every Mon day calls out in Irish, "It's long Mon day, Patrick" That St. Patrick chained the serpent in Lough Dilveen, and that the serpent calls out to him every. Mon day morning, is firmly believed by the lower order who live in the ne1ghbor, | hood of the tough.

A Pasha's Revenge.

A certain Pasha in Egypt in high posi- tion had wife, only one, to whom he had always been an indulgent and loving husband. They had no child; but still he kept faithful to his promise to never take another wife. One day while he was out one of his servants came and told him to go home and enter the house by a private way, open only to the servants. He did so, and went to his chamber to find it locked. With one blow it was open, and his dislonor was only too ap-. parent. He was armed, but he made no, use of his pistols or saber. He simply addressed the man, who was one of his intimate friends, and told him he could not leave the room until he was paid. The man stared in hopeless astonishment and fear, when the Pasha demanded five francs. The man paid it, and gladly left. The Pasha addressed no word of reproach to his wife, but left the room, and commanded a banquet to be served that night, but only for himself and wife. He remained alone till then. His wife had always eaten with him and been his companion, instead of plaything. He had always honored her above all the women in the world, and she was treated by him in every respect not only as an equal, but superior being. The ban quet was spread. He went and gave his arm to his wife and conducted her to the table, placed her as usual, and took his seat opposite. He smiled on her and talked as usual; but before he had eaten anything he had taken the fve-franc piece and laid it on the table before | and between them. For six months he ate every meal with her and slept by her side, but always with that five-franc piece between them. Where he had bought her one elegant dress before he now gave her three. Where he had been kind before he was tenfold kinder in manner, and he allowed her perfect lib erty of action. Yet every day and every night, like an accusing angel, was that piece of money laid between them. She could not eat, though pressed most af- fectionately, with that silent accuse1 there; she could not sleep, though the best physicians tried their skill witll that spectre beside her; and so, when six months were passed, one day the wasted skeleton body of the woman was found dead on the divan.

Nil DeSperandum.

A real healthy man or woman is rarity; and what wonder2 when we realize that it is the custom to overload the stomach, and then produce chronic disease by the use of spirituous liquors, 'tonics,' j appetizers," "restoratives5," etc. Having first produced disease by indiscretion, the victim wonders why "nothing does him good" Just so; and the reason is that they all, or nearly all, find basis in alcohol Tor poison. To all thus discouraged, we can conscientiously say, ''make one more trial" Discard spirituous med1- cines, and give nature chance, aiding her in the struggle by using one of her own pure and unadulterated herb reme- dies, in the shape of Vinegar Bitters. The discoverer, Dr. J. Walker, of Cali fornia, is no pretender, but an honorable practicing physician, and his discovery is the result of years of labor and study: The wonderful cures effected by them of dyspepsia, levers, rheumatism, and many other terrible diseases are almost | incredible,

Terrible Suffering and Death.

An extraordinary story of suffering and death comes from Montreal. It is related that news was received there of the death of MT. James Morrison, aged about forty-fv years, very respectable farmer of Gore township, Argenteuil county, province of Quebec It is stated that a few days ago his wife and son left the house for a visit of two or three days, leaving him alone. A storm com ing, he hitched up his horse and began breaking the roads. While so. doing he fell between the slats of the sleigh shafts and was kicked by the horse, which ran away, leaving him lying in the snow with his leg broken. He lay in this condition from ten A. M to four P. M., when he managed to. get home by lying on his back and pushing himself along with his uninjured leg. On get ting into the house he lay on the floor for three nights and, two days, when his horse, which was starving, forced itself into the house, and in searching for food tramped on him. He at last managed to tie it's leg to large cooler, and crawl ed behind partition, where he remain ed till the following day, when his family returned. He had been the whole time without food, and when found was in the last stage of starvation and exhaus- tion, and died almost immediately after narrating his sufferings.

Moving the Rock.

The good people of the town of E- :. were talking of moving their meeting house to more agreeable locality. Among the advocates of the movement none were more earnest than old Deacon A., who, by the way, has an uncontrola- ble habit of sleeping in church. No mat ter how interesting the discourse, the old deacon was sure to drop off about a certain time. Ontho Sabbath preceding the day appointed for moving the house, the pastor preached an interesting ser mon on "The Rock of Ages.' Growing eloouent in his remarks, the minister finally added with great emphasis:
 "Who can move it?"
 The deacon having been asleep as usual, woke up just ill time to catch the query, and thinking thepastorreferred to the meeting house, rose up in his seat and exclaimed:
 "I'l bring over my yoke of steers, and they'll jerk 1t along the whole distance, if you'll keep plenty of hard wood rolling under it. ''
 The deacon never slept in meeting after that.

Cough is 6 symptom by which various dis eased conditions of the throat, bronchial tubes and lungs manifest themselves. But whether it arises from the irritation produced in the throat and larynx by taking cold, from an at tack of bronchitis from incipient consumption or from various other causes, nothing will allay it more speedily or cure it more permanently than Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery. It does not matter whether it be recent att tack, or 8 lingering cough, the Discovery is in ono equally well fae t fOE w its cough in one-half the time necessary to cure it with any other medicine and it does it, not by drying it up, but by removing the cause, sub duing the Irritation and healing the affected the use of proper medicine for the relief of a cough, for unless this course is pursued, serious and dangerous disease of the lungs is liable to result.

A Yellow Fever Epidemic.

Dr. Frank W. Reilly, Surgeon United States Marine Hospital Service, has, in accordance with resolution of the Sen ate, through instructions from the Secre- tary of the Treasury, preparedsa report on the yellow fever epidemic of 1878, as it prevailed at the various ports of the United States. It is therein stated that from the month of February, 1873, until the 21st of November of the same year, there occurred 3, 769 deaths from malig- nant and epidemic cholera. During the same period each year there occurred in round numbers 1000 deaths from dlarrhpa, dysentery and cholera infan- tum. From the date of the first case, March 23, to the date of the last case, November 29, 1873, there occurred 3, ,349 deaths from specific or epidemic yellow fever. During the same period each year there occurred from the group of malarial levers an aggregate of $500 deaths. The last preceding epidemic appearance of yellow fever was in 1867, and from it's subsistence up to the close of 1872 there had been an aggregate ot 970 deaths from this cause, but during the same period there had been an aggre. gate of over fifty thousand deaths from C10 Hld1hl1dl 10V0rS. There naQ been nc epidemic cholera in the country for the six years previous, but during that period the group of diseases most re- sembling it carried off not less thar 125, ,OOO persons, and year by year suct more or less preventable diseases as smallpox, scarlet fever, typhus, enteric fever, and consumption are the causes ot a tolerably constant average of over { hundred thousand deaths per annum The report states that absolutely nothing has been learned of the cause of the dis ease. The question of it's earthly origir or of its importation into the Gulf States from adjacent countries in the same lati tude and under the same climatic condi tions is still unsettled. Specific mode. of prevention and of limitation remain a. vague as ever, medical opinion is as con fused and conflicting, and medical skill as baffied as before. That yellow feve failed to become epidemic in New Yorl the past season, that it is not epidemi every seasons is due probably, first, t, the want of favoring conditions in tn
 season itself; and, second, to the efficiene, of its board of health, but certainly no the want of a supply of causes furnished by land from other ports.

The Poor Child.

A pretty little sermon is told in a French, journal. Among the French, either ashoe or stocking is hung on Christmas eve, to receive the gifts of Santa Claus. Two poor people were lamenting their inability to put any present in the shoe of their little one, and were hoping for better things next year, when the child rushed in, wild with delight, calling out l: "See what Le Petit Noel has sent me I must indeed have been good;" and she showed her parents Q poor starved little sparrow which had taken refuge from the cold in the baby's shoe. The sparrow ever since has had snug home, and has been regarded by the little girl as precious gift -s-l 2- . /. a-- ---

By the aid of this they not only produce the best organs, but with greatest economy.

Number of Eggs in a Hen.

A curious point of inquiry among zo-
 ologists has been, for a long time, How many eggs are there in the ovary of 8 hena To determine this, German naturalist, Q short time since, instituted some careful investigations, the result of which showed the oyary of hen to con-
 tain about GOO embryo eggs. He also found that some twenty of these are ma tured the first year. about 12O during the second year, 1855 during the third, IA during the fourth, and during the fifth,
 sixth, seventh and eighth years the num- Der decreases by twenty annually, it con- sequently following thatafter the fourth, or at most the fifth year, hens are no longer profitable as layers, unless it may be in exceptional instances.
