and best behaved animals Of her class that
has ever appeared in these chimes. She
was born 10 the gardens in the PhDnix
Park-was an Irish ~lionesS, In tact-in
1859, and after Is years OF popular adula"
ton she succumbed to chronic bronchitis.
During her long and honoured career. she
presented the gardens with 81 cubs OF
which she actually reared So. losing only
four, q feat unprecedented. IN the annals
of mens9eries. These hereditary wild
beasts who frst see the light behind the
bars Of q cage have not the lordly look OF
the denizen of the Jungle, but they fetch.
a high price nevertheless, and the judi
cious sale Of "Old Girrs" ofterings
brought in her owners 1,4OOI. In cash.
And vet there are people who pretend
that Irish manufactures are declining.
The Dublin Society has nearly driven the
big lions of Nubia and the Cape aud the
maneless lions of S~enegambia ont OF ths
mart. The closing weeks Of "Old Gii;s"
life were marked by an incident which
recalls the charming story OF Androcles
and the fable of the lion and ito little

Ignorance is the cause OF Superstition.
We must enlighten ignorance-not the
Priest, the Schoolmaster, the Magistrate
or the Press only but you and !, my
brother, according to our opportunities
and in order the better to qualify ourselves
for this task we must begin by clearing
our own minds Of increasing beliefs
10 the supernatural, and then by judicioue

Times Correspondent

learn from an authoritative source that
the Berne Postal Conference has appoint"
ed q committee to draw up a report, and
that this committee seems to be agreed on
the admission of British India and the
French Colonies into the Postal Union.
England has resolutely refused to accept
the French proposal Of a 4oc. rate between
Europe and the colonies. She accepts a
tax double thatof the European rate
that is, about Sd. The other Powers
have pressed France to agree to this con-
cession, reserving the right of proposing a
fresh reduction hereafter, and France has
consented to take that course. The pro-
bable. working of the arrangement will be
that letters by French mail teamers will
be charged 4Oc. and by English coo It
remains to be decided whether the Dutch
and Spanish Colonies shall be admitted,
and whether every country beyond the
seas shall enjoy the same conditions.
France insists on the system oeilg thus
.Reneralized, while England objec.s. The

sUPERsTITION N.
Irrom a Social Sermon in the St. Lucia Observer

The splendid topic of human Supersti-
tons offers a boundless field for medita-
ton or philosophical enquiry. But in
order to be practical we must confne our
attention to that small corner Of the field
in which our own peculiar weeds ore
growing. To determine the boundary Of
our grass-plot we need not survey the
world.
Ignorance begets Fear, and Fear SUI
perstition. Here is the short and indispu-
table genealogy of the evil. For it is
agreeable to all experience that Know
ledge unfolds the causes of phenomena
and we can in many cases %tOresee aud
avoid their effects that we cease to fear
the occurrence OF what we can prevent,
or guard against; and thus no longer
referring these causes to a supernatural
source we adopt natural means OF coun-
teracting their influence rather than con.
tinue endeavouring to prQpltiate maleh-
cent powers by practices which have no
foundation in reason.
Let US take an illustration from our com.
mon experience. When the first steam en-
CINE was put up in the colony, Gumbo the
grey-headed old negro constable Of the
estate, into whose philosophy no other mo-
tive powers than wind and running water
had ever entered, as he saw the rollers 20
round and heard the impatient s%norting OF
the engine took a bound in abject terror
from the monster, and crossing himself de-
voutly calculated q sincere prayer to be
saved from such a brute mo persuasion
could induce him to go near it. Six
months after, Gumbo was driving that
engine with the same nonchalantconfdence
with which he would have driven a team of
trained oxen. Gumbo is merely the in
carnation of enlightened ignorance, and
the number of Gumbos is legion.
Superstition is greatly the result Of Ig-
norance. And as Ignorance is dispelIed, SO
Superstition is ~dissipated.
There is less ignorance in towns than
in the country. The human particles get
edge and brightness from being shaken
together in the life-struggle of cities-and
therefore there is less superstition. Horse
shoes on the barn doors still tell of
the existence of the ~rustic's fear Of
witches, for their ignorance has not been
worn away by daily friction with fact.
But 10 st. Lucia superstition is not
confined to country-folk, nor to those who
are illiterate ;-nearly the whole of our
island society is impregnated with it to
q degree painful to fathom. The intense
ness of the anxiety that the presence Of
a~dark-coloured moth-the "Papillon NOR"
will cause to a Castries drawing-room
10 we'll known-the visit of that moth be-
ing believed to be a warning of death
In the household. Brothers and Sisters!
lee us think together a moment upon this
shlng. How can we voluntarily abuse OUT
