AN EVENING OF cHILDREN's SONG, AT The OPERA
HOUSE.
Mr.. Clemmer's Children's Jubilee at the
Opera House Was attended, last evening, by an
audience which filled up tho main body of the
hall very comfortably and few persons oc.
cnpied seats in the gallery. In its general
character the jubilee was much tho same al
previous ones-the children, dressed III white,
occupying rising tiers OF seats upon the stage
amid line scene of sylvan beauty, in the back
ground of which meandered II placid stream,
half hidden by the overhangng foliage.
Promptly at o'clock the curtain rose and
slowly an inner reel Of cause was removed, re-
yeallng to full view the children. Prof Ritchie'e
orchestra played an overture, and then the reyii-
lar programme Of chorueea and chants, in which
about two hundred and twenty voices mingled,
solos and Ducts, &c was performed. The
children sustained their several parts well, being
well drilled, and Keeping good time in theii
music. A neice OF Prof. Glemmer sang several
solos very swoetly. The choruses american
Hymn and Star Spaugled Banner were rem
dered in connection with tableaux which height.
ened the interest i'll them.
This evening the jubilee will DO repoated with
some changes of programme.

SO far advance as to yield a reasonable pro-
fit to the cultivator. These changes how
ever only take place in a cycle of years,
cultivation is not Immediately abandoned
upon the first appearance of loss nor can it
be resumed the moment it begins again
to be profitable. And in the case of q
country deficient in local capital as Jamai-
ca is, capital will be long in seeking invest
ment here, even after the tide has turned
and it might be advantageously employed
since the knowledge and verifcation of
these facts is not easily attainable by the
capitalist.
Inventions for improving the yield and
quality of sugar and schemes like the
Central Factory system have been success
tnl in so many other countries, that a mere
recital OF the names of places where they
have been tried is a concise history either
OF the establishment or of the revival of SUI
gar culture. 1t is of course, not absolute
ly certain that the same results would fol-
low here as elsewhere upon their applica-
ton but unless it can BE- shown that there
is something in our peculiar circumstances
or position which separates US from the
general onward march of other sugar coun-
tries, there seems little doubt that the
same beneficial effects will by US be derived
from them. We would not advise a pre-
cipitate adoption of any plan. We would
wish full discussion to precede action, on
condition that action shall succeed such
discussion, if ii be warranted by the facts
adduced. On this account we hope that
Mr.. Burton's scheme which so ably advo-
Gated Colonel Stewart will receive due at
tention from the public.

PAYMENT BY RESULTS.

A deputation Of the Irish National
School teachers have waited on Sir Mi
chael Hicks Beach, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, deprecating any extension of the
payment by result system. They contrast
ed the salaries paid to English and Scotch
masters-1amely, 1881. and 11Ol. respec-
tively-with those paid to the Irish school
masters, which average $50. los. What
they wanted was q definite increase OF their
salary, as the system of payment by re-
suits depended too much on contingencies
over which they had no control. They
admitted that the result system had work
ed bcnefcially in the interest of education,
and had acted as a healthy stimulus to
exertions on the part of the teachers. In
reply to Sir Michael Hicks Beach, they
stated they did not desire that the English
system of leaving the salary to be fixed
by local management should be extended
to Ireland -; and the Chief Secretary said
their comparison was out of place. They
also objected to their salaries being regu-
lated by capitation grants.

(Trom the Gleaner").

The address of Colonel Stewart at the
Commercial Exchange on Wednesday, az
Feb.) on the subject of sugar cultivation,
has no doubt awakened a wide interest
in the subject on the part of those who
heard him. That interest will be shared
in an even more intensified form upon the
publication and circulation of the address
In those parishes where the Manufacture
of sugar is the chief industry. We all
know, all of us at least who profess any
knowledge at all of the subject, how the
production of this island has dwindled from
100000 hogsheads to figures oscillating in
different years between $4,000 and 40, 900,
and as the soil and climate are still the
same, nothing but the want of labor and
capital and the production of cheap sugar
our former extended cultivation. Labour
and capital would come if their holders were
convinced they would find profitable en-
ployment here, but the production of large
and annually growing quantities of cheap
sugar in other markets, places US every year
in d less and less advantageous position for
competition. Any one therefore who pro-
fesses to. show us the way or a way, out of
the difficulties and dangers of four position is
entitled to a respectful hearing.
1t is, of course, we'll known though not
sufficiently thought of that as the ultimate
object on the part Of the cultivator in Gull
t~ivation is profit, cultivation will be res
tticted9nd extended according to this test
or gauge. For this reason therefore es-
tates which were abandoned when the
crops were too low and the price of the pro-
duce too small to warrant the continued
Investment Of capital in them, would
be brought under cultivation again, if
production could be SO increased or prices

We can only judge of what will be from
what has been, and, as we love to look on the
bright side of things, we base our m OF
the future on The series Of good years, rather
than on the late bad ones, which we hope were
exceptional, from coming all together, and have
passed away.
In other respects, we have everything to
inspire confidence here. The conduct of the
laborers has been excellent all through the
drought; and we are not sure that that has
not operated greatly to their permanent advan-
tage, in stimulating them, when unemployed
on Estates, to cultivate their own grounds.
The industrious would even work by moon
light, and the numerous patches of canes be-
longing to them are the gratifying result.
We hope our new Governor will not only
study Documents, but ride about the Island
and Judge for himself of the live and dead
stock, and comforts and contentment of the
laborers Sir B.. Pine, on once visiting St.
Kits, had the Pay-list of an estate put into
his hands Look there, he exclaimed, these
poor creatures earned but 81 each last week"
"Why, Sir B. was the Managers answer, what
laborers but w. Indian could afford to work
regularly but two or three days, and be absent
ali the rest Of the week, as this List, by its
blanks, indicates? You have no idea of the
animals, and the provision grounds these people
have and their independence in consequence"
The only deductions from the price of Sugar
now are the freight and charges, which
amount to about 81 :. If therefore Sugar sells
for 22l-, we have III clear, which, at l6 cwt
