BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEW.

The British Quarterly Review for
Oct )ber has just been published by
the Leonard Scott Publishing Co, Al
Barclay Street, New York. w e
briefly describe the contents.
l. "The Universities aud the Rem
aissance." Describes the condition
of the European Universities In the
middle of the fifteenth century, and
the changes which the revolution in
learning and religion produced in
them, especially in elevating the
studies, and awakening and develop
ing the spirit Of free inquiry.
2. "Lessing as Philosopher and
Theologian." A short biographical
sketch, together with an argument
that any attempt to classify Leasing
as a Positivist or Humanist, or to
represent him as not Theist, is un,
warranted and misleading.
8. "Joubert." Joseph Joubertand
bis Peasees are probably unknown to
many of our readers. The work oc-
cupies high place in French litera-
ture, and compares favorably with
the well-known Pensees Of Pascal.
4. "Butter and Cream" A curl,
Gus inquiry whether the Greeks and
Romans made any use Of these
articles.
$. Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Aus
trial. Describes the various races
inhabiting the empire of Austria,
and, on the whole, approves Of the
Austrian occupation of these
provinces.
6. "Tent Work in Palestine"
This book is one Of the results Of
the survey Of Western recently com,
pleted, and tells of the strange Eas-
tern people, their ways AID their
words, and points out the illustra-
lions of the Bible yielded by the
survey.
Z. "Mr. Hughes on the Establish
ment.'

severe attack on Lord Beaconfeld's
Eastern policy.

THERE is surely no such word as

of the Quarantine they kept business
music commensurate with the ener
gies appropriate to such live men,
and now that the lines are opened,
they rush to new fields and pastures
green and fresh; they grab time by
the forelock, resort to our advertis-

elsewhere, are out in new card, CIV
ing vent to their new intentions in o
business point. We commend such
business men to our appreciative
people, and wish them rich harvest

in his varied line. Give him a call,
drive your cotton and country truck
to his store, he will purchase all you
bring, pay you cash for the same,
and then sell you all the goods you
want in return at the very lowest
prices.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONvEN-
TION.

lit Is wise to converse with our
past errors, it is wise for our people
to converse with the errors which
they expect to remedy by their an
ticiputsd Constitutional Convention.
For this purpose, We design to lay
before them the evils of the Consti-
tuition aud legislation of the last
ten years, with the hope that by
studying them we'll, we may avoid
them in the future. Most of these
evils are so glaring, that it is diff
cult to write Of them without acri-
mony, but it shall be our endeavor
to discuss them with judicial candor,
to divest these articles Of all parti-
sanship, and hope they will be pc
rused 10 the same spirit. The ques-
tions which the call of Convention
will submit for our deliberations, are
not questions Of an hour, of sectional
or party politics, but Of statesman
ship, which will demand our calmest
and most enlightened Judgment.
Among the many evils which have
grown up under the Constitution and
legislation Of the last ten yearsis ex-
cessive taxation. It is an exponent
rather than q cause; p mighty river
into which a thousand rivulets have
.converged, and these rivIlets them
selves, arising some in gross dishon-
esty and venality;. some in careless
ness and ignorance, and many in
honest selfshness and. ,ayarice, by
which office holders and legislators
have estimated their services at enor-
mour values, wholly dlsproportiona,e
to the earnings in every department
Of business. We cannot well Illus
trate and discuss all this, without
giving tabular statement Of some
of the g expenses, and accordingly
submit the Expenses of the Govern
ment prior and ID subsequent to the

The election for State aud Parish
officers is over and / am happy to
say that it was decided in the inter-

not yet completed; we will soon be
called on to elect our Town officers,

in our Corporation, and in favor Of
lessening the expenses and thereby
lowering the Licenses and Taxes
Last year the amount OF fluids coll
iected from our poverty strickened
people in the way OF Licences and
Taxes was about $4,000, and tliis year
the same, and there is not q dollar in

| will submit q few figures for the
voters to reflect on in the way Of ga
wing in our Town. Reduce. the Ma
yor's salary TO $500, the constab.e's
to $3.50, or $40 month, let the Gus
todians of the Engine and Truck re-
main the same, and do away With The
Sccretary's Office, and allow 500 per
