By the steamer Henry Tete on Sunday
night, were received three barrels and one
half barrel of new syrup, consigned to Mr..
E. M. Scott from the Violfna plantation, par
ish of st. John the Baptist. This is the first
receipt of syrup this season; last year there
were receipts on the LIST of October of three
barrels and nine half barrels on the same
day--a rather singular coincidence. These
receipts are two days earlier than those in
1875.

The result of experiments on large scale
with iron railroad ties having been very favor
able, DR.. Achenbach, the German Minister of
Commerce. has ordered that the railroads
under control OF the State shall now employ
iron ties to larger extent. The system to
which the recommendation of the minister
refers Is the Hilf long-tie system, which, ac-
cording to experience, possesses great advan-
tages especially over the cross-tie system.

column Of French refugees A little to
the left of Caillemont and his refugees
the main body of the English infantry
struggled through the river, up to their
arm pits in water. Still further down
the stream the Danes found another ford.
In q few minutes the Boyne for a quarter
of a mile was alive with muskets and
green boughs."
When half way across wild shout OF
defiance went up from the halfconcealed
army on the invaded shore. There was
doubt as TO the advantage at the moment
but the Irish line gave way in great dis
order as the Protestants pushed forward.
Tyrconne's and Antrim's men ran like
sheep, and Richard Hamilton, though he
waded breast.deep to set himself against
the hostile approach, was forced to retire.
Finally Hamilton and his cavalry turned
tiercely from point to point, waging des-
perate conflict with Solme's Blues, dri-
wing the Danesinto the Boyne and assail-
ing the Huguenot regiment with such
vigor that all was smoke and dust and
din for half an hour. Caillemont, Schom-
berg and Bishop Walker all fell within
a short space, but William coming holly
up, Hamilton was beaten off and the
battle decided. Hamilton saw William
when brought before the King as a pris-
oner, wounded, fatigued and overcome
by violent exercise, while his own leader
occupied the safe heights Of Danore,
"James saw his rival" says Macauley,
"weak, sickly and wounded, swimming
the river, struggling through the mud,
leading the charge, stopping the flight,
grasping the sword with the left hand,
handling the bride with bandaged
arm. But none of these things moved
that sluggish and ignoble nature. He
watched, from a safe distance, the begin
ming of the battle on which his fate and
the fate Of his race depended" Then,
when it was clear that the hanks Of the
river Boyne were dotted with twigs OF
green, James galloped towards Dublin
and sailed ont of Ireland. Five hundred
of the conquering army fell, and Of the
routed host fifteen hundred Cavalrymen,
the flower and pride of Hamilton's force
never rose from the field.

events were teaching them, and when
they came out of the struggle they could
hardly count the shackles that had brok-
en-. 80 have seen an eagle struggling
with meaner birds who settled on his
wings and tried to weigh him down from
being lifted TO his natural atmosphere,
and the brave bird struggled upward,
tossing one and another from his pinious
but they settled down again and crippled
his path. At last shaking his broad PIN
ions freely the royal bird circled into the
upper air, and as he shook the baser COM
rades from his wings they fell down,
down hundreds of feet, the thin air Civ
ing no support to their narrow pinions,
and the gallant bird scared and poised
himself in the serene atmospheric of his
native land. So is truth. Now it holds
on its wing an Increase Mather, and now
q Governor Wanton of Rhode Island, and
thea it shakes itself free and leaps itself
into the ether, where neither doubt nor
fear can live, and where selfishnees falls
like lead to the earth, and the royalt truth
poises itself forever. The lesson of the
American revolution-Trust God that
whatever He teaches you of truth the
world is ready to listen to you from your
lips. Applause.

On,July 18th, one hundred and eighty
seven years ago, was fought the battle of
the Boyne. William, Prince of Orange,

sed King James, the father Of his Queen,
Mary, on July IL (old style July y, 1890,
commanded an army of $4,000 men hard

being unrepresented. The Prince him
self was wounded while breakfasting the
day before, but nevertheless he took an
active part in the battle. Fields of
wheat, woodland, meadows bright with
daisies and clover, sloped gently down TO
the river Boyne," which flowed between
the armies of William and his opponent.
Two miles away lay Drogheda, then a
mnd.walled village, now a prosperous
manufacturing town, The pavilion of
James was on the eminence of Danore,
on the southern bank of tho Boyne. His
troops, $4,000 strong, wore the white
badge In compliment 10 the House Of
Bourbon, there being many Frehchmen
in his ranks. "Schomberg gave. the Or.
