That dreadful disease, The ynws, now
prevalent SO long in tits islFud, seems 10
be battling all the medical skill bro"gi.t to
bear On it.. Several persons discharged
from the hospital as cured have been again
attacked aud compelled to return.
The Dominican gives us a miserable
picture of the prevalence of petty larceny
ia The island. especially as regards tie
growing crops. 1t says:
1t is come to such q pass in some
PARIS that planters and managers Of
estates no longer consider II worth their
while to maintain their provision grounds,
their trouble end expense ia this particu-
lar being virtually Incurred for the beue-
fit Of The pi|fertrs who intest the country.
Even the humble market gardeners, who
depend in a great measure uroo the week.
ly sa e Of their vegetables in The Rosesu
aud other markets, are largely victimiz'd
in this state of thirgs."
The remedy most wisely sugge, ted for
all this stealing i the institution which
is, IN our opinion, a great deal too much
cried down as an instrument of punishment
in these days of mawklsh sentimental
isn-the old fashion d ''cat-o'- niaetaiIs."
The following tells a sad tale of the
fall in the value of West Indian, or,
rather we should say Dominican proper
tY.
"Of the fifteen estates in this island
which remain indebted to the Imperial
Treasury for loans under the West India
I=lands Relief Act, only one is likly to be
sold-Roche d'C- in St. Joseph-and
that 10 default of a rightful claimant to
treat with the Relief Commissioners. The
total amount due on all the properties is
1O,4O0-the properties themselves
being now valued at EI, 700. What
more is needed to show the frightfdl de-
probation of West Iadia property yithip

ment agrees to accept ten per cent Of the
present value of each estate Ia full pay

tory than any in the West Indies. And,
knowing Grenada as well as we personally
do. we can say there is no man in it as
well qualified in all respects, to write its
history as Mr.. john Wells. We expect
great pleasure from reading his book.

TRINID D

Nearly 500 Coolie emigrants left Cal
cutta for Trinidad on 3rd October. A ship
is to follow with the remainder of the
emigrants for the present season.
The Commission of Enquiry on the
laws relating to the import and export
trade of the island has just made its re-
port, which is expected to lead to great
reforms in the trade regulations, and
allow such freedom that the once fou-
risbing trade between Trinidad and Vena-
zuela will be restored and greatly extend

1t once happened that a lady having
in her hand crown of artificial ivy
which she had picked up somewhere,
probably the debris of a school fete dur
ing happier times, placed it on the head
of the little Marie. Fanchette, rising on
her hind legs, examined it with comical
curiosity; and, having made up her
mind ON the subject, scampered off to
an old tree close by, around whose trunk
the real ivy twined its thick and glossy
wreaths, butted at it with her horns,
twisting it around them, and tearing of
long trailing garlands. She then ran
back in triumph to throw her treasures
at the child's feet, saying as clearly as
if she had the gift of speech: "Look.
This is better than the coarse imitation
they have decked you with; this is the
real thing,n
Another day the child was looking at
herself in mirror, and Fanchette i'm
mediately began to do the same. The
expression of sadness and wonder in
her eyes seemed to say so plainly: |

One evening, Marie, who was sitting
by her mothers side, began to fidget |
and complain of an uneasy sensation in |
her back. Her mother, busily engaged |
with some work, and thinking the child |
was only disposed to be troublesome,
examined it slightly, and told her to be
quiet; but the poor little thing continu-
ed TO complain, when the mother, get
ting out of temper, gave her sharp
slap. Fanchette, who was present at |
this scene, presented her horns in a
attitude to the woman, and
gently stroked the shoulders of her little
friend with her foot. AT the sight OF the

woman began TO reient, and' calling the

rare, indeed, to hear the noise of his
