Sarah Bernhardt,'' we read, has given
occasion to an Incident of political impor-

turns out to be somewhat less grave than
this pompous introduction would lead US
to suppose, but it is still interesting as one
of those straws which show the quarter of
the wind. The smouldering ill-wiIl be-
tween France and Germany has lately
led to some sharp skirmishing between the
newspapers of either country about M.
Gambetta's curious speech at the Cher.

not yield in patriotic, not to say Chauvln-
istic ardour to any journalist of the land.

Lorraine included" A good deal of excite
ment seems to have been evoked by the
remark and, il the report is correct, the
banquet had to be prematurely closed in
consequence of it. The better relations
which have lately grown up between
Germany ard Denmark make it very
doubtful whether the German Envoy
will be instructed to take ga prolonged

COLONIAL NEWS.
JAMAICA

Writing on the subject OF cyclones and
the impo rtance of Weather stations among
the islands to observe the movements OF
these storms, the Cleaner says
The U. S. A. Weather Bureau, of
which Mr.. Hall is a member, has six sta.
lions in the West Indies, connecting with
Kew West, namely Havana, Satiago dc
Cuba, Kingston, St. Thomas, Guadelou pc
and Barbados. The wish of the U. S.
government ia to increase its stations, but
the expense, which is heavy, might, it
thinks, be shared by those who will also
share the benefits of timely notice. If we
mistake not the American Bureau offered
us o service in 1874, provided the Island
would contribute $3.50 per annum ; and
now the service can be had, we believe, at
q lower sum, from the same trustworthy
source. Unfortunately, our home govern
ment and that of America have not been
able to agree upon the terms of q mutual
service, but that is no reason why each
Colony should not see to it's own prOtec-
ton"
Mr.. Hall writing to the same paper says
that two cyclones passed over jamaica on

Unique or still further soush between the
latter island an d st. Lucia, and followed
the course of the steamship "Nith. travel
ling at about l43 miles per hour and
passing N. N. w. over Jamaica. The other
cyclone he says came from the South
coast of Hayti, and " rushed against the
first, the contact taking place over the island
ofJamaica. He says that this second cyclone
was probably generated by the action of
the first or larger cyclone, and that it passed
Kingston at the rate of 81 miles an hour.
and then remained stationary over
the parish of st. AIMS for about 2 hours.
There was a severe thunderstorm at
Falmouth, on the N. w. coast, on the

The following note on the state OF the

lizers -
"The weather. alternating with hot

Agricultural Society the patent Fertilizsrs

SARAH BERNHARDT.
Yours truly,
AN ENGLISHMAN

According to the Berlin correspondent
OF the Standard, Mdlle. Sarah Bernhardt
has been the cause of an incident of inter
national Importance. At a public dinner
given in her honour at Copenhagen,
Baron Magnas, the German Ambassador
proposed . toast to France, who had seut
them her most beautiful andltalented. daugh-
ter to amuse and delight the north.
Mdlle. Berahardt. in reply, made a pointed
speech, at the close of which she expressed
q hope that the toast of the German
Minister had been to the whole of France

Danish members of the party having enthu-
siastically cheered, the actress intonsd the

We now come to the last sentence
of tho article, containing the authors
final lament. "What is most dis
heartening, however, is that had the
English Government only shown a
small part of the ardour, which it has
displayed in behalf Of the subjects of
the Turkish Sultan, towards the sore
ly afflicted subjects of Queen Victoria,
the fight and bloodshed the scene of
which Ireland may again become,
might have been averted." Having
regard to the last part of the sentence
the lamentation must be pronounced
premature, and in answer to the
charge of carelesssness of Irish inter-
ests we have only to mention the
various measures passed of late years
with a viewtoremoving Irish grievan-
ces. The first of these was the
Roman Catholic Emancipation Act,
passed in 1929, by which the Catho-
lies were placed in all respects on the
same footing as their Protestant fellow
subjects. We may next mention the
system of National Education estab-
lished in 1882 under a board sitting
in Dublin. In 1849 was passed the
Encountered Estates Act, under which
encountered properties were brought
to compulsory sale, and by which
great and beneficial changes were
wrought through the division of many
largo estates and tho transfer of the
land to men of capital. The disestab-
lishment of the Irish Church in 1869
removed tie Hast great injustice, and
the Land Bill already referred to was
passed about the same time. Atthe
present moment a Land Commission,
consisting of Irishmen, is sitting to
study the land question; and if the Par
liamentary debates are read it will be
found that there is no lack of ardour
or thoroughness in the attention given
to Irish affairs. This final criticism
uttered by the writer of the "Dag-
blad" article is therefore, like most Of
its predecessors, without any value or
force.
And now, I think we have fairly
brought down our bird, and a sorry
old crow he is now we have got him.
Not worth powder and shot, a reader
will perhaps say. Certainly not,

for one reason, which | will mention.
We live here in such a small and re-
mote oasis of the civilized world that
anything approaching us from the
outside is very apt to appear distorted
and enlarged by the mirage of u
surroundings. If this wretched starve-
ling had not been knocked down, he
might have been mistaken by some
people for an eagle, and it was there
fore desirable to bring him out of the
mirage, and submit his leanness to
near inspection in the steady atmos-
phere Of common sense; otherwise
you would not have been troubled
with this, fear, rather long and
tedious communication from
