A C0WARDLY ASSAULT Mr. T. L q.
Carothers, lawyer Of Uliah, assault
ed Mrs. Belle Lynch of the Mendoci-
no Dispatch, with huge cane, for
some remarks made about his profes-
slonal conduct through that paper. We
do not know how much of truth or
how much Of fslsehood were embraced
IN the remarks, but Mr.. Carothers has
taken very poor way to vindicate
himself in public estimation. The dea
of big, oyer-grown bully beating Il
little woman with clnb to protect
his honor" is one cather repugnant to
Americans. Csrothers was put under
bonds to keep the peace, and Belle is
after him again through the Dispatch
liveiier than ever.

The EUROPEAN NAR.-The first great
hattie Of the Russian Turko war was
fought at Batoum, in Asia. The Rus
slans attacked the Turks in their fortif-
cations and after eight HOURS severe fight

siaus is set down at over 1000; that of
The Tia X, who were protected by their
intrenchments is comparatively light.

A RELIGIOUS WAK.-The Sultan has
raised the standard of the Prophet and
calls on the faithful Of Islam to rally to
the defence, and now we hear that the
Russians have put aside their ordinary
battle flags and substituted those with
the double Greek cross, which is only
done when the war is u religious one.
We well know what religious war
means-that in the sacred name Of re-
ligon crimes and barbartie. will be com
mitted at which humanity shuddors.

RESTRAINED OF His RIGHTs.- Mr..

February, and as a result will be the
guest Of the State at San Quentin for the
next ten years. The Golden Eagle was
Springer's own house, but was well in

would make good cash sale. He will
now have chance to mediate upon the
harshness Of the law which will not per-

EVERY little while we see an item in
proof of the adage that "t the fools are not
all dead yet" The last one we noticed
says that Thomas Grape and wife started
for London in a thirteen foot boat, ex-

age. If they get through safe they can
be spoken OF as the fools who succeeded
and if they are lucky enough to drown
on the journey, as the fools who failed.

has fallen a victim to duty. Attending q

as large as a goose egg, and then eloped

THE WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

Another admirable letter on West In
dian aft 'irs has been published in the
London Standard, from the pen Of its
Occasional Correspondent. This letter
deals with the question of Confederation.
The distinction is clearly shown between
confederation, as applied to the Canadian
provinces, and as it would affect the West
Indian Islands. In point of fact. there is
10 analogy whatever between the circum-
stances of the above mentioned colonies
in the one case confederation would lead
to the extension and permanence of free
representative institutions, in the case OF
Barbados it would lead to an entire ex.
t~inction of the ancient liberties of the
island. Can it be a matter of wonder that
Barbados should resist snch q measure, and
ask to have the whole question carefully
examined and considered before any i'm
portant changes are proposals

A N TIC U A.
(From the antigua II mes.)

We have been informed that through
the representations made to the Directors
of the r. M. P. Company by Mr.. MARTIN
GRAY, their Agent in Antigua, the freight
rate has been greatly reduced on goods
from England and that it is competent
for shippers Of Merchandise to make
"speciaI'i arrangements in London for
freight by these ST. amers, at a figure even
lower THAI the published rates. The last
Steamer landed at st. Johns, on Sunday
last, 200 packages OF goods. which we
believe is the largest number ever landed
here from one of the COmDany's vessels.
Evidently importers are alive to the nature
of the facilities now Afforded by the Direc-
tors of the R. NJ. Steamers, as compared
with sailing vessels. Goods may be put
on board the latter, which 1t will take
sometimes nearly three months before they
reach their destination, whereas, if put on
board these Steamers, two or three weeks
will be sufficient, to ensure delivery.
The weather during the week has been
favorable for Sugar making. The wind
for the last few days has been steady and
strong from the north east. Grinding
operations are therefore going on briSkly.
A little more rain, is probably desirable,
to improve the growth of the "Iate canes"
and stimulate the young plants. There is
not however much cause to complain of
the weather, such as it has been for some
time past, nor of the quantity or qua
lily of sugar being obtained from the
canes.
There have been sales of Sugar at 1925
per 100 lbs. and 20s. for the cask, for the
United States market, also, Of MoIasses for
Nova Scotia, at 20 cents per gallon, and
16s. for the cask.
The water supply for st Johns was en-
gaging public attention. A meeting was
to have been held for the purpose OF hearing
objection against a public assessment for
that purpose.

ST. KITS.

The St. Kits papers, with the excep-
ton of the Gazette, ridicule the move
ment in Antigua to induce the Royal Mail
Company to remove their depots to that
island. The VOics gtAc people Says
If Antigua, however, in considering
her own interest, deems it worth while
to exhort the R. NJ. Company to leave St.
Thomas, and establish themselves. in that
Island on the pretence of the decided
advantages she can afford. all that we
can say is that we wish her success ;
but to ask St. Kits to join her in that
exhortation aud become a Decoy Bird,
requires consideration and caution lest
she may be travelling out of her way to
make u cool and impertinent request, and
to display an interference with the set
tied business affairs of other people; for
unless we could show some positive be-
neft to the Company to induce them to
make this removal, such a proceeding
would, to say the least of it, be
unbusinesslike and unbecoming."

OBITUARY..

DIED-at his residence in this island,
estate " Golden Rock" on Sunday Even.
Ing last, HUGH PERCY Esqr., after having
allied for some time, at the age Of IS.
Mr.. PERCY was q native Of Ireland, but
came to this island as far back as 1885,
and went into the planting business, in
which he, by dint Of perseverance and
that sterling, practical good sense, which
characterized him in an eminent degree,
soon gained a e ll-merited reputation as
a skilful manager, and as such held the
first situations in The island, Several years
ago he bought the estates "Grande
Princesse'' "LittIe Princess" and "GoId-
en- Rock" near this town, besides
" So~uthgate Farm at the Eastend,
and "Caroline Estate" in the island
of st. Johns, and was accounted for
good reasons one of the most pros.
porous mon in the Island. The hard
ness of the times for the last q S years,
however, could not but exercise their
depressing influence on q man in his posi-.
tion, and it is quite possible that it may
nave contributed to shorten his DAYS.
At least it would be no wonder if it did.
That he was highly esteemed and enjoyed
the confidence Of his fellow citizens was
evinced, besides in many other ways, by
their repeatedly electing him as a member
of the Colonial Council, of which honora.
BILE body he was q Crown Member at the
time of his death. Mr. PERCY was twice
married, and leaves behind him three child
rem by his first marriage, and one, q mere
infant, by the second. They and the
deeply grieved widow have the most
hearty sympathy of the whole community,
which feeling found a suitable expression
at his funeral on Monday afternoon, which
was most respectfully attended, by q large
cOncourse of people, from " Golden Rock"
to st. Johns Church, and thence to the
grave, the funeral ceremonies being per-
formed by Rev. Dubois of Fredcriksted,
and Rev. Branch of this town.
