There can be- no doubt that these islands
are well adapted for the cultivation of the
vine, as is abundantly shown by the grapes
of excellent quality which are produced in
the gardens of private individuals. But
the cane has for the present usurped
the soil. aud as long as its cultivation
continues to yield a profitable return
the vine has but a poor chance of success.
During the next fifty years there is no
saying how it may fare with the cane.
Beet-root competition, unremuneratlve
prices and other causes may conspire to
drive it out of the field and then Mr.. Da
Costa's scheme of q "Vine Company"
may become a fat accompli.
I had several interviews with Mr.. Da
Costa during his stay in ST. Lucia; and, in
spite ofhis frank and geutlemanly manner,

Ia connection with agriculture, I may
refer to tho attempts made in 1S41 by MIR.
Corrca DaCosta to establish o Swine
Company in these Islands. Mr.. DaCosta
was a Portuguese Jew, who had served as
q volunteer in the Spanish Army, aud who
had travelled in various parts of the globe,
lie was o remarkably handsome man, OF
gentlemanly address and manners, and
could speak several languages. He repro
sented himself rs being on friendly terms
with some OF the sovereigns of Europe;
and he had a box containing the numerous
Orders aud Decorations, which he said
bad been conferred upon him by moro
than one royal parsonage.
Mr.. DaCosta had visited most OF the
West Tndis Islands. with the object, as he
stated, Of establishing q "Wine Company"
lie found tho Islands we'll adapted for
the cultivation of the vine; and his
scheme was 20 induce the planters to
G1ter into arrangements with him for
establishing That branch OF industry on
their estates. On his arrival in st. Lucia
he introduced himself to the public by
inserting in q local newspaper the follow
ing advertisement 1.-The excellent cline
and fertile soil OF this beautiful Island
have attracted my attention for the pur-
pose of cuItivatiug its lands with sugar,
cotton, tobacco. Victoria wheat, indigo,
cocoa, wine grapes, and oil kinds Of vegeta-
bles and fruits; and being informed by
some respectable patriots that nine-tenths
of the lands remain still uncultivQted, |
wish / could ascertain whether, in the
event of forming o "VVine Company" In
British Guiana or elsewhere in the West
Indiea, | could reckon on O sufficient num-
Ter OF shareholders in this island for the
establishment of o branch of the said Com
pany here. Though ] could have already
formed the West Indian Wine company
with English capital from England, never
theIess l would like to have at least two
thirds of the shareholders resident in the
West Indies. At all events either in
British Guiana, st. Kits, Grenada, st.
Lucia, Jamaica, or Montserrat, o Wine
Company will be formed positively in the
next year"
Mr.. DaCosta continued for some time to
advertise his Wine Company, interpreting
his praises Off with a variety OF whlmsl-
cal sayings. of which the following may
be taken as samples
"FJust the thing as Adam said when
he first saw Eve"

asked the Judge if the commitment con-
tanned any reference to the provision

that the Superintendent OF the House Of

The council will apply for a writ of

BLOWN TO ATOMS.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE Giant
Powder Works across the bay exploded
this afternoon, killing twelve whites
and twelve or fifteen Chinese. This is
the third explosion the company has
sustained, all attended with loss Of life
The explosion occurred in the picking
room, and all at work there were Killed.
About six thousand pounds were in the
room. All the victims were blown to
atoms, the largest piece found being
part of the skull of a Clinaman with
the cue attached.
There were six houses inside the
works, all blown to slivers, bu. the
worlmen in them escaped excepting
one man in the magazine, no trace OF
whom was found. Outside the works
are six houses, including the boarding
house Of the hands. All were more or
less damaged.
The cause of the explosion is supposed
to be carelessness. Workmen are hired
by the piece, and directed TO use wood
en- mallets in picking cartridges, but
they found they could WORT. faster and
make more money by using iron ham
mers, risky business around giant
powder. II is supposed that SOME man
hit once too many times and his cart
ridge went of, igniting the powder be-
fol G him, which communicated with the
adjacent packages with the terrible re-
suit noted.

RIGHT OF WAY.

granting 10 the people Of the Santa Ec
the right to construct at once their line
from Arkansas City to Fort Smith,
without any subsidy Whatever. If the
bill passes and there is every reason 10
believe it will. work on the extension
will commence at once and ere eighteen
months ron round, the people of the
South, by going TO Memphis, can take
the cars and travel from thence TO san
Francisco via Winfield without change.
When that time comes. as il surely VIII.
il this bill becomes a law. we will see
immense trains passing over this diyis-
ion. like those on the main line.
The advantage to our farmers cannot
be over estimated. 1t will bring cheap

and create new market for our surplus.
Ii gives us short route TO tide-water.
