The Santa Cruz Insurrection.

A letter from St. Thomas to a New
York paper gives some additional par
tlculars of the recent uprising of the
negroes on the Island of Santa Cruz
"On the outskirts of the town on every
hand are seen blackened walls and ruins
OF what were once spacious residences.
On every side, too, were patches of
green cane too wet to burn, although
the negroes did everything in their
power to destroy it, even throwing kero-
sene over it. The brutality of the ne
groes was horrible. On the second night
the mob arrived at Grove Place estate,
and found about nineteen of the estate
laborers. The latter attempted to save
some things, and refused to join the riot
ers. They were then shut up in an in
closure used for storing megass, upon
which kerosene oil was poured and the
whole set on fire. Three Or four escaped,
and now lie horribly manned in the hos
pital, The charred bones of the re-
mainder are silent witnesses of the
truth of the story This act of cruelty
toward their own people shows what lit
tie chance there was for any who OPP
posed them after their passions had been
fully aroused. The whole business por-
ton of the town of West End is mass
of ruins. The people have lost all they
possessed, and men and women, hereto
fore in good circumstances, are now clad
in motley and misftting garments.
There are still great variety of reasons
regarding the causes of the outbreak.
Good reasons for dissatisfaction on the
part of the negroes existed, and yet none
which were of sufficient Importance to
excite them to the fearful outrages
which were perpetrated, and, so the
affair seems mystery. [ think truth
lies in the fact that no such outbreak as
occurred was premeditated. The labor
ers had come into West End seeking
new contracts, or intending to leave the
island. Becoming excited while dis
cussing their wrongs among themselves,
many of them drinking liquor, they first
attacked the police, whence the negroes
obtained an exaggerated idea of their
power, and so went on from step to step,
until regular instruction resulted.
Fifty-one estates were destroyed, besides
large numbers of private buildings and
residences" .l... 49,.

Horticulture.

One OF the finest plants for winter blooming
is the camation. The color of the flower at
tracts the eye, and it's fragrance is delicious.
Their cultivation is very simple. They are
easily rooted from cuttings from the small side
shoots, when about two inches in length, any
time from October to April, and, as they are
nearly hardy, they can be set out in the
open ground in May, and if they have been &C
customed to air every hardening off" as
gardeners term it-previous to setting out they
will stand a breeze uninjured Plant them in
beds OF four rows each. ten inches apart, and
the same between the plants in the row. Keep
down weeds, and the soil mellow by frequent
use Of the hoe. In October put them into four
inch pots, using rich soil, or, what my expert
ence proves is better, plant them in
boxes of soil six inches deep Keep
them In a temperature of So to 20
deg. at night, and Is to 20 deg. more
by day. They are very impatient of wet soil,
and will not bear much water. very good
substitute for the carnation is found in the
double pink, which will bloom in winter from
seed sown now. Send two stamps and get
some. Procure shallow box, say three inches
deep. Fill with good soil, and a little sand
mixed in it to keep it porous. Now, with a
good fiat board, press down the earth level,
sprinkle it if dry: and sow the seeds thinly.
With common meal sieve slft on sufficient soil
to barely cover the seed Put in the dark till
termination commences; then bring into the
window. Be careful, in watering, to give only
when the seedlings appear dry. /
To keep dahias, gladiolus, cannas, Madeira
vines, ETC., through the winter; When the
leaves are killed by frost, take up the bulbs
and tubers, shake the soil off, put in a shed for
a few days till they dry out somewhat Then

English ivy requires the pot in which it is
grown to be well drained-plenty of broken |

watering, but you must not allow water to /
