ST. THOMAS COLLEGE.

The st. Thomas College was inaugu-
rated on Monday, 2nd instant, and the in
stltution, as far as the preliminary arrange
ments and regulations are concerned, pro.
misses to do good.
The building, which is situated on Gov
eminent hill, commands an imposing site
and is well adapted to the purpose for
which it has been appropriated. Tue ar
engagements OF the several classes are we'll
calculated and neatly furnished. Com,
menclng from the entrance we find a spa
clOuS room on the right hand, set aside as
the private Office of the Director and for
the meetings ofthe School Board. On the
lett is the private apartment of the first
teacher, Mr.. G. DAHL we then ascend the
staircase, where we find the Preparatory
School, under the tuition of Mr.. Nc Con
NEY having passed this we enter the Sc
veral classes of The College, all OF which
are suitably arranged. In fact the entire
arrangements as shewn us by Mr.. DAHL
on our recent visit are deserving of much
praise. Mr.. DAHL is no doubt known
by many here from his connection with
the St. CrOiX Arjs, which paper he edited
W. HN'N'"' yN"lo; dud as IdI DIS pun ~
opinion goes, both here and in the sister
island, he is we'll suited for the position.
Mr.. SYDNEY SPEED, second teacher, is
also known here, having kept a private
school tor some time in which he succeed
Ell In giving general satisfaction. The
instruction of tn mother tongue is under
the care Of Mr. O. f. BACnE, School
Director, and the foreign languages are
divided between Messrs DELANEY AID
DURLoo, the former as Freach and the lat.
ter as Spanish teacher. The fees of the
College are So quarterly, payable in ad-
vance, and Mr.. nc CONVEYS Private
School $3.50 monthly. The Q are up to
date 81 pupils and we hope shortly to
hear that number rapidly augtneuUng.
No preparation has b.en made for
girls nor for the accommodation of
boarders, and We cannot say whether at
any future time such will be made.
Better late than never is a term not
lnapplicabIe here, and wo trust that this
move in the right direction will meet
with the support it deserves, and there.
by encourage the exertions made in for.
wardlng the march of education in this
island, which fortunately has been kept
up to a high standard by the various
private and denominational schools.-St

The rainfall for the year up to 10th June,
though good, is not what it was for tbs
same time last year. 1t was then 232

The Times congratuIates Antigua plan

who was declared duly elected. EIecto-
raj reform is an urgent necessity in Anti
qua. The total shipments of sugar for the
year will probably exceed 10000 hhds -
The Observer publishes a valedictory adj
dress from a large number Of leading
Inhabitants Of Antigua to Mr.. w. r.
Kirton, the manager of the local branch
OF the Colonial Bank, who has been called
upon to assume the management Of the
Demerara branch. Oar contemporary
says: " Mr.. Kirton has won golden opin-

cate art of strictly conserving the interests
OF his constituents while he ~dispenses

TIE Observer also calls attention to the ne
elected state of the Pablo Library, an
institution which is slowly dying for

CAUSE OF THE WAR WITH TURKEY.

Since the negotiations at Consiantinaple resolved themselves into an attempt to se- cure the peace of Europe by threatening the sultan that he should he given up to Russia no great progress has been made; and il must be conceded that the Padishah does not scare well. He has become possessed of an unfortunate fancy thst he can fight the Russians with almost as much satisfaction to his cause as resulted from the war with Serria, but that ii there should prove q diff ference in favor of RuSiia, England despite all protestations to the contrary, will come to the rescue before the consequences are destructive to the Ottoman Empire For this untoward condition of the Turkish mind the reports of the bad condition o, the Russian army are in some degrees re sponsible, but the evil really originates with the soldiers of fortune who are in the Sul- tan's pay. These are mostly Englishman. They want war, for though they might rust for some years in the Sultans service in the possession of good pay, vet rattling cam paign or two and some hard fighting might make them rapid promotion and famous names. They are also animated by some enmity toward Russia as a general object of English dislike. These men have really got possession of the Ottoman Empire for the time, and as il is their fancy that the Mos lem population can supply ultimately four or five million fighting men of the best con- ceivable quality they really believe that they have the chance to whip Russia easily or to figure as leading persons in the greatest war Of this generation. They have convinced Nidhat Pacha of this, and when the question has arisen as to the possible conduct of England they have answered with eloquent winks. They are, no doubt, burning the Ot- foman house, to roast their chestnuts; but they are now the most potential speakers Ut Constantinople, and the Conference con>e- quently reasons in vain.

TOPPN JOHNSON.

We find the following in the Black Hills Herald, published a, Custer City, Dakota, January 4th, 1877. Our reader, will no doubt recognize the name:
 "Topny" Johnson has shut down his "one stamp quartz mill" for the present. He i, an industrious mgn-has worked out several quartz leads--i> out prospecting for more. Hes a crushcr,

DESERT LANDS.

Yesterday we published what is known as Luttrell's Desert Land Law. which. as will be seen, classes all land as desert that will not produce agricultural crops without irri- gatiOn, except timber lands and mineral lands. The bill as we copied it is reported to us by J. II. Vaudeville, land lawyer of Washington City, as it passed the lower house of Congress, and we have not learned how it fared in the Senate. The bill does not exempt grazing lands, and, it seems to us may enable large cattle or sheep owners to monopolize large districts of country without settlement or occupation, by pro curing each of his herders 10 claim a section of desert land and filing declaration of in tention to reclaim it within three years by bringing water on il for migrating purpo- ses, and failing at the end of three wears to do so, he could have another set of herders to relocate, ond thus run on for years. and keep off all other peoples stock, thus enjoy ing practical monopoly of the pasturage while the real person in interest may not even be resident of the State or Territory.
 IL seems to Us that the bill should make provisions for actual occupation of each section, and compel the parties to manifest an intention to carry out in good faith the contract to bring on water, and when ever they shall neglect for thirty consecutive days to show disposition do so that the land shouIJ Inc consiiare1 abandoned and subject 10 relocation.

THE UTAH SOUTHERN RAILROAD.

Referring to the Utah Southern Railroad, Ihe Outlook, of Santa Monica, suggestiyciy remarks; The Utah Southern Railroad is at present completed to Nephi, about l20 miles from Salt Lake City. A the distance from Salt Lake Co Los Angeles is about 650 miles, there is a gap of 53O miles to be closed to give the Union Pacific an outlet at santa Monica. Or 522 miles via Temccula Pass to San Diego If Scott and Huntington make combinations to suit themselves, which would be detrimental to the interests of the Union Pacific Railroad, does not the urgency increase that Gould and Jones should unite and build a competing overland road! Such & movement would not only improve the prospects of these gentlemen. but it would certainly be of immense advantage to the people Of Utah and Southern California. a> well as the general travelling public. ."-Sia Diego UHioa.
 As the distance from Ncphi 10 Prescott is only about 410 miles and on the direct line that Brigham Young proposes to build his Utah Southern road, We may expect to see this road, during the next two years. passing within few miles of Prescott and within the reasonable distance of 800 miles of Los Angeles. We were assured by Brigham Young, in conversation with him this fall, that ii was the intention ot the owners of the Utah Southern to extend their road down through Arizona, near Prescott, tap the set dement's of Salt River, Gila and thcn,e to Tucson and Guymas. From Tucson to Guy mas righ; of way to build Railroad was granted to MT.

Since divorccs have come to be SD easily obtained al Tucson, we have been thinking of sending down and having a few of our married friends divorced, just for fun you know, without letting them know any. thing about it Wouldn't II stir mp a rampus though if We should send down the names of some of our prominent pioneer families and have the knot united by the legislature. that las bound them tugotbcr as one flesh until they have become grand fathers and grandmothers.

Mir and Mrs. Simmons Sr.. and half dozen others of the older citizens, and few newly married couples; wouldn't it make lively times though, getting married over again: Preachers, Judges and Justices of the peace would have a harvest and the printer would probably come in for share of the cake and wiuS.

Hood on Courtship.

Hood in his "Vista of the ludicrous side
OF life'' says, in reference TO courtship:
We like short courtships. and in this
Adam acted sensibly.-He fell asleep a
bachelor and. awoke to find himself a
married man. He appears to have popped
the question and almost Immediately after
meeting Mademoiselle Eve, and she, with
out any Irritation or shyness, gave him a
kiss and herself. OF that first kiss in this
world we have had, however, our. own
thoughts; and sometimes, in poetical
mood, have wished we were the man 'swot
did it," But the deed is done the chance
was Adam g and he improved it.
We like the notion of getting married in
a garden. 1t is in good taste. We like a
private wedding. Adam was strictly pri-
vate. No envious beaux were there; no
croaking old maids; no chattering aunts,
or grumbling grandmother. The birds of
Heaven were the MINISTRIES; and the glad
sky flung its light upon the scene.
One thing about the first wedding brings
queer ideas to us in spite Of it's scriptural
truth. Adam and his wife were rather
young to be married (some two or three
days old, according to the sagest specula
lions of theologians), mere babies-larger
but not older-without experience, with
out house, without a pot or kettle, with
nOthing-but love and Eden.
