nies of the world are governed. Nay, I
am even inclined to suppose that the at
torney-geneml is not quite 50 infallible
upon points of law but that my modest
studies for the bar may occasionally en-
able me to catch him out; and that the
chief inspector of schools is not entirely
at his ease when he endeavors to en-
tighten me upon the botanical peculiar
lties of the colony. But lest any exist
ing high functionary of the island, into
whose hands this number of "Belgrayia"
may chance to fall, should suspect me OF
scandalum magnatum in defaming his
personal character, hasten to add that
these remininscences. though thrown for
convenience into the present tense, really
belong to the past indefinite, when the
personnel of the government was quite
different from that of the present day.
Otherwise, I might be accused Of thrust
ing myself in print into good society
which would disclaim any knowledge of
my existence in propria persona. '
Nevertheless, though we idle away our
time pleasantly enough, | can not for
moment pretend that life among the ia
maican hills is really enjoyable. There
are thousand drawbacks which can
hardly set. down on paper without seem
ing pernicketty, and which yet make one
sufficiently miserable for the moment to
spoil large part of ones happiness. Even
the diminutive musquito is himself q
source Of constant annoyance.
Ever present in the midst Of every oc-
cupation, he invariably alights upon
your nose at the exact moment when you
are endeavoring to make a pleasing i'm
preston upon your latest acquaintance,
or raise round Jumps upon your forehead
when you are dressing for dinner on a
most special occasion. As to ladies, he
becomes the plague Of their existence,
blistering their arms with innumerabie
white spots, and making their very
cheeks livid on the very evening Of the
military ball. In short, let alone heat,
negroes and atrocous cookery, the
mosquito is by himself enough to poison
life in the West Indies, He Is the
amari aliquid of Lucretius, quod in ipsis
foribus anget. Believe me, my un-
known but presumably courteous reader,
trite as the remark may appear to you.
there is no place like home. Congratu-
late yourself that you live in q country
where insect pests are unknown where
the art of cookery is practieed at least in
a rudimentary stage; where humanity
is not all one dedliquescent kiobe; and
where travelling does not neceastate the
employment of saddle horse with ad-
vanced views upon the morality of homi-
eide. Be content to see the Blue Noun
tains through the eyes OF others, and I
venture to predict that you will be hap
pier for it. .......r..

Some unprincipled dealers. because they
could see few cents more profit, have been
guilty Of offering worthless substitutes for
the only original and genuine Sulphur Soap
-Glenn's by name. Therefore the public
should guard against this deception. and
always ask for "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" by
its full name. and take no other.
Read the following evidence from
highly respectable source:
DETROIT. MICH, Aug 6, 1879
c. N. CRIrrENroN. EsQ.-Dear Sir: hate
travelled for three years for Messrs. Charles
Scribners Sons Publishers, New York, and
desire to inform you that have used your
incompatible "Glenn's Sulphur Soap" ex.
clusively for about four years; also have
recommended it to very many persons, and
my constant experience has been that it
possesses all the medical advantages that
you claim for it. All to whom have re-
commended it say, as well as myself. that
1t deserves its established reputation as the
best and most efficacious Sulphur Soap that
can be used for all skin cleansing as welt
as toilet purposes Some unprincipied
drug store keepers have endeavored to sub
stitute other kinds of Sulphur Soap for
Glenn's-saying they were "just as good"
but having myself tried other kinds, And
none are so good or so beneficial rs the
genuine Sulphur Soap stamped "Glenn's"
which also have learned to observe always
bears the name of &c. N. Crttenton. Pro

Practical Suggestions.

FooT HILLS, Los Angeles Co.,
May 1lth.
EDITOR HERALD: There will be
an immense crop of peaches and
apples this year. My peach trees
are loaded with fruit. Ny neigh
bors the same. NY friends in the
city inform me that it is the same
there. What are we to do with
them? Other crops will be light
barley, etc.-but with market for
our fruit crop this would be con-
siderable help to us, these times.
The fact is that, at the time the
Alden factory was built, thousands
of peach, apple, pear and other
fruit trees were planted by farmers
in hopes of having q ready sale for
such fruits. These trees are now
In bearing, and this year heavily.
Now, do you think those silent
monuments of home industry will
take a start this season? Is it not
pity and shame to see such facto.
ries lying idle side by side-the
distillery and Alden factory-year
after year. I, for one, hope they
will both wake up and run to their
fullest capacity. 1t is strange that
home industries seem to do we'll
enough in the upper counties.
Why not here? Travel to Arizona
and the mines ought to furnish q
good market for our fruits and veg
etables. They must have such.
Where do they get them now?
Import them from up country.
Why import them this year, when
there will be plenty of all kinds of
fruits? Start up those silent mon
uments; give employment to our
boys; keep the coin at home. Let
the mighty press rouse 'em up.
Pitch into 'em! II the present
owners won't start, let some others
take hold. 1t is no use waiting till
the fruit is ripe. Let US know and
prepare early.
Very Respectfully,
FooT-HILL SUBSCRIBER.

little the honesty and earnestness
of our Workingmen fellow citizens,
and we were accordingly pleased TO
see them celebrate, to the top of
their bent, last night, what cannot
but be regarded as a Workingmen's
victory. Blue and red fire and
rockets, with part;-colored explo-
sives, signalized the route of their
procession. There Is no doubt but
that the honest masses have given
the impetus to the signal victory
which has led to the adoption of
the new Constitution. We have
opposed them heretofore, out of an
equal honesty of conviction, and
we shall probably oppose them
again; but, all the while, we recog-
nize the fact that the only Iespecta-

adoption of the new Constitution,
and which gave shape to it, was

In the undisgulsed contempt they
showed for those patriots who
are trying to start new

expedient-a thoroughly demagogic
expedient-meant to give further
office and power and emolument to
men who purposely cheated the
people out of adequate time to de.

When 1t comes to the nominations
for Supreme Court Judges, for Gov.

Senators and AssembIymen, for
Railway Commissioners, and all
the small fry, we desire to see
