What Next?

A man by the name of Nevil in the United
States, has invented a machine for excayating
earth and making bitches, which is said to be
a success In California this novel machine
was tried recently, and worked like a charm.
The first trial was made on soft bottom land
and the second on hard dry land. On hard
dry land it excavated ditch eight inches
wide, foot in depth, and three hundred feet
long, in FIVE minutes. In soft bottom land it
dug ditch half mile in length in one day.
1t is calculated to excavate as much earth in
one day as one hundred men can with shovels.
Four horses propel the machine easily on soft
ground, it requires about the same propelling
power as an ordinary gang plow. The dirt is
cut up with shears, forced into the fange of
revolving wheel; carried to the top, and dis
charged on one side of the ditch 1t can be
thrown either in or out of gear by a screw
governor, worked by man at the tail of the
machine. With such a labor saving machine
farmer may ditch his farm in short time
and at comparatively trivial cost. We have
made this note of this novel invention in the
hope of benefting some of our people to whom
its use might be of great service. 1t is well
to know that such things do exist, especially
where labor is so scarce as on these Islands.
and so high withal.
Every labor saving machine that is inven-
ted is just so many more hands concentrated
on one branch of industry, and is therefore a
benefit. We're it not for the reaping, moving,
sowing and threshing machines, now in use,
together with the gang plow, and other labor
saving machines now used by farmers in Cali
fornia and the Western States, it would be i'm
possible to work the immense farms now cul-
tivated in those localities and the regions of
fertile country now yielding millions of dollars
worth of produce per annum, would be as
heretofore, but bowling wilderness. We do
not agree with those short-sighted people who
denounce labor saving machinery as a curse,
because we consider all such direct blessings
to mankind. If our planters would only con-
slider their own interests, they would avail
themselves of every labor saving machine that
is invented, adapted to their business and ne
cessities. By this means they will be able to
supply the lack of numbers in their labor &C
counts, and make more profits than through

quarter. and therefore looks upon the subsidy
as of no consequence to Brazil 1t was some
what niggardly, we think, on the part of Con-
gress to refuse the subsidy to the New York and
Brazilian line of steamships, because of the
great and growing trade between the United
States and Brazil. Had Congress refused all
steamship subsidies, there would be less cause
of complaint, but this was not the case: and
if Mr. Roach and his friends feel offended, be-
cause Congress refused his ships government
aid to carry out the enterprise, he is excusa-
BILE; but we do not believe so shrewd a man
as John Roach, would be guilty of an act oi
sheer folly, like that attributed to him by his
enemies and rivals in business.

Among all the very excellent publications

more acceptable, or looked for with more ea-

at San Francisco, California The publication
alluded to, is one of rare merit and excellence,
both in its articles and make up. 1t is always
filed with choice, racy reading, suited for any
society, and replete with instruction of high
order. In word the ArgonaH is first class
newspaper, and should have a large circula-
ton on account of its real merits We are
prompted to say this much, with the view oi
recommending the Argonam to the people oi
these Islands who desire live and interesting

THE City of New York had city debt on
June 80, 1877, Of $l3l ,234, and on June
80, 1878, net debt of Sl27, ,4s3, thus show
ing the gratifying fact, that during the past
year the debt was decreased S4,460, ISL, with
a cash balance in the Treasury June 80, 1878,
of 81 ,9O8.632. This state of the city finances,
under the able management of the present
Comptroller, John Kelly. Esq, has caused
the bonds of the city to appreciate at all the
moneyed centres, not only in the United States,
but in Europe. These important facts we
learn from the american Correspondence, a
highly interesting and valuable publication,
issued weekly, from No. Warren street, New
York
From the same source we have the intelli-
gence, that, the recent changes in the heads of
different departments of the New York Gus
tom House, by the Administration at Wash
ington, give general satisfaction to the bust
ness and commercial men of New York, mas
much as they inspire more confidence in the
courage and pluck of President Hayes, who
thus proves he will not be badgered by the
politicians for the qualification of any mere
political aspirant, whether he be Senator or
plebeian.
The agitations which have for so many years
in state of continual ferment and revolution
have been brought to a peaceful solution by
the wise course of the present head of the
Dominican government, President Boisround
Canal, by agreeing to pay moneyed compen-
sation from the Dominican government to the
republic of Hayti, for certain territory here
tofore claimed by the latter but which has
been occupied by the former. The Dominican
President, has also effected the passage Of a
law whereby naturalization of foreign born
subjects may be readily acquired.
The meeting of the Presidents of the leading
railroads in the United States, which took
place at Saratoga, New York, does not seem
to meet with universal favor, and ii is expec-
ted that the pooling system which is favored
by such men as Tom Scott, of the Pennsylva-
MIA Central; Garrett, of the Baltimore and
OLLO, olO auuCi DiAtt VI hAlO @tCW AOih dilN
Erie, and Harlem railroad; will be re pudiated
by many other leading lines.
A rumor that was gotten up, and put in
circulation br parties in Baltimore, to tn,
effect that John Roach, the great ship builder
of Chester, Delaware, was about to donation
alize the steamships recently built by him fol
the New York and Brazilian line, by hoisting
the Brazilian flag on those vessels, as toker
of his displeasure at the course pursued by
the late Congress of the United States, in it
refusal to grant government subsidy to tn,
New York and Brazilian line of steamships
is not credited in well informed commercial
circles, nor is the refusal to grant the sub
sidy by Congress looked upon by the Brazilian
Minister, at Washington, as of the slightes
consequence to his country The Minister jus
alluded to feels like his sovereign, the Empe
ror of Brazil, that the latter country il in

The Treaty of Berlin.

This treaty was formally signed on the 18th
Of July last, by all the plenipotentiaries of
the Great Powers, a full account of which will
be found in our columns of this week, together
with a synopsis of the articles of the treaty,
which to save space we prefer to publish in
stead of the full text which would occupy too
much room, and at the same time, be less in
telligible to most readers. AS we said, few
weeks ago, the treaty is the longest document
of the kind ever promulgated. 1t would seem
from this fact, that there was a sincere desire
on the part of representatives at the Congress
that this Treaty of Berlin should be SO well
guarded, and so explicit in its wording that
there would be but small chance of picking
flaws in it. The leading object of the Congress
being to preserve as far as possible the peace
of Europe by the stipulations of the compact.
If this object has been obtained by the Treaty
of Berlin. the world will have cause to rejoice,
and the names of those men who participated
in the deliberations and brought about so de-
sirable termination, will go down to posterity
as benefactors of the human race Wars in
these times are so destructive and expensive,
that the statesmen of the old world are becom-
ing correspondingly cautious about bringing
about great national ruptures; and in this we
see one of the most hopeful signs of civiliza-
tion, and the progress of human enlightenment.

any other means The ingenuity of man is
ever active, and will promptly accommodate
itself to all the wants of the age in every
country. We live in an age of progress, and
he who wishes to keep abreast of the times
must be ever on the qui rtre for the newest
inventions, or be content to fall to the rear Of
those who do.
