Suggestions 10 the Gr:.ngers-

No loar, from circular from Deputy
d. &. Morgan of tho Patrons of iiusbandry
that IL convention of Delegates OF tins "rd:r
in tho Ol,achitt Valley is called to meet at
Monroe on the 5th proNinro. The ohJcct OF
the meeting, is stated to be for consultation |
especially regarding high charges for
freislts, and generally as to other subjects |
affecting the interests of the planter.
We anticipate very beneficial results
from such gathering Of the producers,
who are at once the props OF business pros
perity and the victims of nearly every
species of business cxactions. There is
both room and need for radical reform
which will encourage and protect the
farmer i'll his struggle against money and
monopolies, and the power to do this is
certainly i'll the hands of the farmers them
selves, if they will unite. II is short
sighted policy which would retard sucl, n
combination of tho industrious producers,
upon whose thrift and prosperity cvcry
branch of business and all the professions
necessarily depend for support Not only
this, no people can long survive constant
dcpredations upon the producers amy more
than the producer can hold ont by constant
cultivation of soil to which no fails to
return some of tho producing clements
yearly taken from it.

From the SPECTATOR

What a catastrophe the Cucuta earth
quake would have seemed If it had occur
ed in Western Europe! Occurring, how
ever, in New Granada, it is only recorded
as an incident of a certain interest to the
scientific. The earthquake was felt at
IL. 10 an of May 18th, and appears to
have destroyed five towns, Cucuta, San
Cayetana, Arboleda, Cucutila, and San
Cristobal, in a moment. No less than
16, 1000 persons are believed to have been
killed, and a new volcano arose from the
ground near Santiago, belching forth
flames and lava. Full details have not
yet been received, and the Indifference
felt about the news may be conceived from
the fact that it has been six weeks travel
ling to London.
The Legislative Council of Natal has
accepted the proposal to strengthen the
hands of the Executive, but not in its ORR
ginal form. The Council at present cou-
tains S nominee memhsrs and 10 represen-
~tatives, and the Colonial Office proposed
that there should be Is of each, and that

METEOROLOGICAL REPORT
for the Month CT July 1875.

The weather during the month has been
very c~hangeable, with pretty frequent
showers, which, however, have only ex-
tended over a part of the island, especially
the centre; so that the rainfall has been
at Kingshill 40 lines, in Frederiksted
s3.8 m. m.=263 lines, in Christiansied 1877
sequently been 265 lines, or a little above
that of the last "a years, viz. 25 lines. So
heavy a fall for this month at KingshiIl
has only been noted once during the last
"a years, viz. in 1861. During the same
period the fall in Christiansted has only
been as small as observed this year during
the last three years; for the rest of the
period it has always been considerably
above.
The wind has been very unsteady, now
due east, now veering a little to the North
and again at times a little to the South.
By every considerable fall of rain "a
lines and above) it has turned from
E. N. E. to E. S. E.
The moisture of the atmosphere has
been very considerable, the average per-
centage being rs, the highest yet observed
here for q month.
The thermOmetrical observations have
given an average heat of 27.4o G.
The hottest day in Christiansted was on
the 22nd, as will be seen from the table
below, that day being also very warm at
Kingshill, but during the night between
the 22nd and 23rd there was a good rain
at that place which cooled down the
atmosphere to such a degree that the
lowest temperature there was observed on
the 23rd.

representatives, however, who are sent up
by 6 per cent. of the inhabitants, the
3OO,0O0 natives having no votes, objected
to this as arbitrary, and proposed q Coun-
Gil of thirteen nominees to fifteen repre-
sentatives. To this Sir Garnet Wolseley
agreed, and the Bill now only awaits con-
irmation at home. We presume it will
obtain it. In a colony where the whites
are so hopelessly outnumbered, the Jamai-
ca constitution would be infinitely pre-
ferable; but this Council will be a strong
one, and among fifteen members, two will
surely be found to comprehend the policy
of the Government. If they cannot be
secured, Parliament, without abolishing
the constitution, should confer on the
Lieutenant Governor in special emergen-
cies the reserved powers granted to the
Viceroy of India. The mere knowledge
that they existed would make the Council
tractable.

A remarkable return, ordered by the
Privy Council, shows how rapidly our
Educational system is growing. On the
3lst August, 1874, there was accommoda-
ton provided for 2,57I,826 children,
with eight square feet of floor for each
child there were 2,4O7, 6O2 children on
the registers but only on average OF
1,678,759 were in daily attendance, d
circumstance which strongly points, as Mr..
Forster insisted on Thursday, TO a CONF
pulsory law as the only remedy. Indeed,
only 1,457,O7 children, having made the
requisite number of daily attendances'
were in a position to bring grants to their
schools. OF the 22,712,266 persons in
England and Wales, 11,647,99s are now
under School Boards,-i.e a little more
than half aud the number of these School
Boards is $50. 1t is obvious that this
vast machinery is greatly in advance OF
the results attained when the average
daily attendance is barely twoethirds OF
the full number Of children ON the books.
and the number Of those Who really earn
the grant is barely more than halt the
places kept for them.
, 1875-08-11

On Thursday Lord Sandon moved the
Education vote, which is 91,54s,563 for
the current year, and stated that the
accommodation provided on 1st August
next would seat 3,1OO, 900 children, and
that 100000 of these Seats had been
provided in inspected schools since 1870.
In 1878 the average attendance was
1900, 900, and in 1874, 1,7OO,OOO. little
more than halt the number for whom this
year there will be accommodation. Sinc~
1870, the average attendance has been in-
creased by h~alf-a-milIion, while the
accommodation has been increased by
double that number. During the last five
years the voluntary contributions have
increased 43 per cent? while the central

viii the Times condescend to explain
its theory ofroyal pedigree In an article
published on Wednesday on the death of the
ex-Emperor Ferdinand of Austria, it says
that so many families in the West have
now lost their thrones "that the Hapsburgs
must now be recognised as the most an
cient lineage in Europe" We are all Of
ancient Image in one way, but the usual
method of calculation is by position as
we'll as descent, and on that theory the
Times is in hopeless error. The Haps-
burgs were crowned in 1878, having pre-
viously been only mobiles. The House of
Savoy was probably made Independent by
Charlemagne, and was certainly indepen-
dent, and recognised as such, in 1923;
Alfonso of Spain's ancestors were reigning
independently in CASTLE in 1885 and our
W Queen represents the Conqueror
Q066), andAlfre1, who was acknowledge
ed King of England in $50. The House
of MeckIenburg claims to be the oldest
reigning house in Europe, and the Massi-
mi are possibly the Oldest nobIes.. All q
them are of yesterday compared with any
Cohen, but by the rules usually regarded
in such cases the House of Austria is not
ancient. It's former precedence was deriv-
ed, not from its antiquity, but from the
repeated election Of Hapsburgs to the only
true Imperial throne, hat Of the Empire
Of the West.

Another Bank Robbed.

On Sunday night, September 9th,
the Hancock bank of Greenville, Ky,
was robbed of the neat little sum of
thousand dollars. For two
or three days previous to the robbery,
three very suspicious looking men
were TO be seen lettering around the
bank, and is the general belief that
they were the guilty ones. A few
days before they reached Greenvilie, a
dispatch was received at Princeton,
Ky, stating that they were bound for
that place, coming from below. Mr..
Il. b. Ratliff, the banker was greatly
excited, but with the assistance Of the
some of the citizens, succeeded in
guarding the bank and prevented
them making an attack upon it. They
are supposed to be regular bank rop.
bers, and they are up to their business
as the safe which they opened for Mr.
Hancock had combination lock upon
it, and they are very difficult to WORK
successfully without understanding
thea.
