Louisville Leaf Tobacco Market for
thcWccK Ending May 20, 1876.

Reported expressly for the Register.
The market during the past week
eyinced considerable activity. The fav-
orable news from seaboard markets, to.
gether with the speculative demand
here. has caused the market 10 be tirmer
fer all desirable grades.
Accounts from the country report no
improvement in the condition of the
plants, but this complaint is not by any
means universal, Tor in many localltie.
the situation is reported good. Offerings
of cigar leaf more liberal.

(From tile Chronicle J

True to its character, the Equinox has
brought with it a succession of destructive
gales and rainstorms, and the temperature
has been considerably lowered since this
day week. Whilst our neighbours of the
lcewar isI ands have suffered from hurri-
canes and their coCC0mltants, our island is
happy in being general exempt from these
scourges but from Saturday to Sunday
last, the weather WAS unusually boisterous
fact is, the wind blew brisk gale, shifting
to various point OF The compass at intervals.
In the country districts, reports have reach
ed us OF tha disastrous effects of Cae s'orm.
Whole fields OF Indian corL are prostrated,
Just as they are ripe aid rrl " tor reaplng,
In the northern pOrti.t -, st, Andrews
parish, where considerable breadth Of land
is usually under corn %cuItjva. io1, chiefly by
the coolies. The canes, generally, have es-
capped damage from the hiah winds. A
Carriacou correspondent kindly furnishes
the following notes on the late storm, &c.
We have had a storm. On Saturday
p. M, the barometer was observed to be
falling and it fell from 80 deg. to 1890 in
a short time, thereby indicating the ap-
proach of bad weather. At midnight, the
wind blew strong from N. E., with heavy
rain, and at 8 o'clock a. m. on Sunday, it
shifted to S. W., when it blew a regular
gale for nearly two hours. IT then gradu-
ally moderated, barometer rising ; 3 inches
of rain fell corn blown down in many
places"

here by her present ow er and captain,
Mr.. P. Peuth7ny. l. is also true that
she was. Tor is, for sh3 will soon
be up AMI stirring, they saw a fac
looking craft, and beat anything of
her size going, in our waters, that she
would take "Iors Of people and stuff"
back wards and forwards between this and
st. Thomas, and finally, that she was the
Government Packet; but all these excel
lent qualities could hardly entitle her to
the affection, nay almost veneration, in
which she is held. Wheo everything
else has been explained, when the height
of the man in the moon has been mea-
sure1, and the length of his nose, the
"Danish Schooner Vigilant" will stand
as an enigma to be solved by some
future Glipus.-Speaking seriously, how
ever, we are very glad to learn that
she is in a tair way of "getting all
right" and congratulate Capt. Pentheny
on the success OF she undertaking, which
has been both difficult and costly.

accounts have reached US, stating that
much damage has been done by the gale
in those places. AT the former port
several vessels were stranded-one
schooner (the Mott Bedell') sunk at
her moorings, the crew, however,
escaping. On shore, great havoc is
reported, especially in the French
Quarter), as many as 2l5 houses having
been destroyed in that part alone. At
St. Barts, and Anguilla the destruction
OF property is also great and we learn
that much distress prevails among the
poor of these Islands. The st. Barts
Correspondent writes =" Some 40 houses
blown down and destroyed, aud 100
injured"

ST. TIT
From The St. KITS News.L Letter.

On Tuesday night last, the 18th inst,
we were visited with a gale Of
considerable violence, which has done
much injury to the habitations Of the
peasantry in the different Villages Of the
Island, and also to the growing crop
the prospects of which for the ensuing
year, were lately SO cheering to the
Agriculturist. On certain Estates, in the
Valley aud elsewhere, we are informed
that the damage to the young canes
(Which were very much advanced in
those places) has reduced the estimate of
next years crop fully one-third. Th9
Shipping has also suffered to a great
extent. Several Vessels were driven
ashore in this ana the out Ports, and
either totally wrecked, or otherwise
injured. The American Brigautine
" Clifford" with fish and lumber, was
thrown up on the beach, at Rawlins
Mornes, where she now lies wrecked.
The Schooner "Emeu," of Trinidad,
with a cargo of Cocoanuts, and the Shops
" Breeze and "Tickler" are also ashore.
At Sandy Point, the Schr. Bride of
Antigua is ashore, and, at Stones Fort Bay,
the Sloop " Triumph" of Auguilla.

st. Martin, st. Barts, aud Angnilla.

1t will be remembered that among the
casualties during the late hurricane, we
had to report, was the sinking of the
"Vigilant," the "Pride of Santa Cruz" in
the deepest part of the so.called Ship
Channel. Later we reported the arrival
of divers who have been working at her
since. She is not quite up yet, and it
may seem strange to an outsider why
we should take up the matter before
we have something more definite to
say about her than we have to-day.
But then, no one who is not either a
Crucian, or has been thoroughly identified
with things Crucian, can form even the
remotest idea of the hold that old craft
has taken of peoples minds. If our out
slider happens to be of an enquiring turn
of mind, he will naturally set to work to
find out the reason why. He will enquire
into her origin and find that she was q
privateer, before she became the highly
respectable /" Danish Schooner Vigilant,"
we all know. 1t is true that that is some
thing like half q century ago, and that
since then she has been entirely rebuilt

B A R B A D o s.
From the Barbados GLobe.)

Expectants of employment in the Civil
Service, prot6geS Of the Governor and nom
contederates alike, were startled on the
arrival of the last Steamer from England to
learn of the arrival of a gentleman from
England to fill a very sub0rd nate appoint
ment in the Customs Department. 1t Is
rather an unusual exercise of patronage
for the Colonial Minister to bestow sltua-
tons with only 9l50 per annum on APP
plicants in England or elsewhere. We
do not know if the cause lies in Lord
C~ARNARvoN'S real want of confidence IN
Mr.. HENNEsSY, or whether this Is the
beginning Of al exercise of patronage
which will hardly be beneficial to the
colony, With our great population, which
has now become so famous o theme with
the Government, there are always dozens
Of young men Of responsibility, to fill these
appointments, and it become d serious
question if they are to be eIbowed aside,
by this unusual exercise Of patronage.
We learn that the Contract for execu-
ting the Barbados Railway has been signed
between the Company and an English
firm. The cost, will be, we believe,
&lO0, 600, and according 10 the terms OF
the Act Of Incorporation the work must
be commenced before January 1877.
The influence of the gale which swept
over the northern islands has been but
slightly felt at Barbados. On Sunday last
the rain fell heavily and the southerly
wind caused the sea to be very much dis"
turbcd. Some anxiety was felt for the
safety of an American Brigantine loaded
with fish, which had arrived q couple of
days before. This vessel dragged her an
Choir and was in danger Of coming on the
Pier but with the assistance Of another
hawser and anchor, conveyed from on
shore, she rode out the weather in safety.
Some of the labourers' houses in one or
two districts We're injured, and the shingles
stripped off by the force of the wind.
Native corn and other provisions are
tolerably plentiful and the market is well
stocked with American products.
Ia the House of Assembly, certain mes
sages from the Governor were read, and
two bills passed by the Council were re-
ceived one to increase the Police Force
to 273 men, with = Inspectors and 4 Sub"
Inspectors, and the other to discontinue
the grant of educational purposes to
schools exclusively tor the education OF
white children.

have reason for the sort OF wholesale con
graduation we have bestowed on thOre
concerned in the matter dealt with
in the preceding notice. 1t is true that
q Committee has been formed, who have
given notice that they will receive sub
scriptions and distribute them amopg the
sufferers. It is also true, as we have
learned, that their call for help has been
nobly responded to by very many, but as
all have suffered more or less, and the pro-
portion of those who can do anything to
be really felt to those who have suffered
even so far as to be homeless is perhaps as
1 to 10, it is no wonder that the Conn
mittee has not been able to do much vet.
The gentlemen constituting it were, i'll
fact, fully aware, as they expressed in their
advertisement, that very few of the in
habitants of this island are in n position to
give largely" which, as we interpreted it,
could mean nothing else than a hint to
those who might be Inclined to expect too
much, in our distressed state, from
any effort that could be made. We
lear that many of the poor widow capa-
city for giving have brought their mite, as
well as those who are better off, but what
can il amount to where the cases of real
distress are counted by the hundreds, if
not by thousands ? Now that the troubles
about the Factories are removed, we may
soon expect a visit from the Governor, but
the best Government in the world can help
no sufferers Of any sort with an empty
treasury and no means to repleniSh
it. The usual remedy for empty public
chests is increased taxation. Would the
remedy be a good one in our case 4? The
negative reply to this query, we take it,
would be spontaneous, unanimous, and
emphatic. We have to resort to loans in
order to maintain the absolutely necessary
conditions for the successful initiation of the
new principles for progress which we see in
the Factories. No wonder, then, that the
help has not come yet from the treasury.
1t is some SORT Of relief for the faithful
chronicler Of pas ing events when his
attention is dawn from the gloom Of
distress and misery, to the more cheerful
asp els Of life. II is natural, then, that
we should take pleasure in announcing
the complete success of the efforts to
procure aid for the sufferers from the late
hurricane on the part Of several Ladies'
and Gentlemen who, on Monday evening
last, and last night, gave real treats to a
very large number Of spectators by a Sc
ries of representations of Tableaux WANTS,
at the residence Of Mr.. c. BRANDT, Mana.
ger of the Agency Bank of St. Thomas,
who had kindly lent it tor the purpose.
Through this and similar kindness on the
part of the Ladies and Gentlemen giving
the representations, we understand that
quite q handsome amount for the good pur-
pose has been collected, 1t is not our pro.
vince TO offer any criticism on the exc
cution Of the several parts by the several
performers, not being PROFESSIONALISM, but
we could almost wish hat it was, as we
would have had to express the pleasure
felt by oil who were there and the reason
why.

The Egg Trick.

Procure large egg-Brahma eggs are
the best-and on the large end draw q
cross with a lead pencil, and on the op-
posite end draw smaller cross In ink.
Place the egg-after showing the chill
dren the marks, and permitting them to
examine it carefully, SO they will know
it the next time they see it-upon the
head of the oldest boy present, or II
there is a grandfather present with o
bald head, balance the egg on his head.
Then let one of the company take large
book and see if he can strike the egg
hard enough to break it. To the sup
prise of everybody the egg will be sup
pressed at the first blow. Then you can
show the person on whose head it was
balanced the two crosses marked upon
the shell to prove it was thesame egg he
saw in its entirety, but he probably will
be too cross to have much interest ln
the matter. This is not very difficult
trick, and can besquite easily learned,
but care should be exercisedin the selec'
ton of the egg.

Revelations by the Microscope.

There is story that an eminent NIL
croscopist had bit of substance sub
mitted to him to decide what it was. To
an unaided eye it might be morsel OF
skin which a baggage smasher had
Knocked off the corner of smoothly
worn hair trunk. The savant appealed
to his microscope. Entirely ignorant OF
this tiny bit of matter, except as he had
taken counsel with his instrument, the
wise man declared that it was the skin
of human being, and that, Judging by
the fine hair on it, it was from the so
called naked portion of the body, and,
further. that it once belonged to a fair
complexioned person. The strange facts
now made known to the man of science
we're these: That thousand years be-
fore, q Danish marauder had robbed an
English church. In the spirit of the
old fashioned piety the rObber was fayed
Qat us hope that he was killed frst), and
the skin was nailed to the church door.
Except as tradition or archaeological lore
had it, the affair had been forgotten for
hundreds of years. Time, the great
erodent, had long ago utterly removed
the offensive thing. Still, however, the
church door held to its marks of the
great shame, for the broad-headed nails
remained. Somebody extracted one,
and underneath its flint head was this
atomic remnant of that ancient Scandi-
navian malefactor's pef, that fair
skinned robber from the north.
