THE AVIS"
CHRIST1ANSTED, ST. CROIx
Wednesday, February 9Th 1881.

The Mails from Europe arrived here on
Sunday morning in the "Clara", which was
no less than 50 hours on her passage from
st. Thomas. owing to the calm which pre-
vailed. On Monday the wind set in from
the North, and no schooner has been able
to leave for st. Thomas. The tempera-
ture fell on Monday night to 10 F.
The Dagblad contains two more arti-
cles on the Factory, one from an ''old West
Indian". who supports Mr.. H's views, and
the other q reply frOmIMr. Hagemann. We
intend shortly to give a translation Of
both articles.

The worst accounts from the Transvaal
are not confirmed, but the true accounts
are very bad. Sir G. P. Colley teiegraphs
on January 5th, from Pietermaritzburg,
informing that the detachment of her
Najesty's gath Regiment who were cut up
near Pretoria were only allowed two min
utes for surrender, were attacked from the
hills on each side, and in a few minutes
lost SO many men that the Colonel ordered
. surrender. They were in fact, taken

airy movement could be produced are
those of Macedonia, who are still
suffering from Turkish misrule and
who are DESTROYS Of being united with
their emancipated fellow-countrymen,
but it is precisely among these Bull
garians that we find the most bitter
hostility to the Greeks. The Helle-
mic aspirations are practically known
to them in the form of the semi-politi-
cal brigands, called "Antartes,"
whose atrocities may fairly bear COM
parison with any which the Turks
have committed in recent years, and
in the form of oppression, extortion,
and forcible Hellenization practised
by the Greek bishops. The Cabinet
of Athens has, therefore, nothing to
hope for in that quarter. The Porte,
it is true, as l have already informed
you, recently adopted a line of policy
well calculated to create an insurrec-
ton among the Bulgarians of Mace
donia. Fearing the influence of Pam
Bulgarian agitation, it conceived the
unhappy idea of transporting a part
of the Bulgarian population to Asia
Minor, and with this intention actual
ly removed a considerable number
of peasant families to Salonica.
Thanks, however, to energetic diplo-
matte representations here the idea
has been Abandoned, and the latest
Consular reports from Salonica an
nounce that the families are being
sent back their to homes. In Epirus
and Thessaly the prospects of a great
popular rising in favour of Greece are
not much brighter than in Bulgaria,
Eastern Roumelia, and Macedonia.
The large Greek population of Epirus
certainly desire annexation to the
Hellenic kingdom but they are pref
ty sure to be kept in check by the
Albanians, who have been long pre-
pairing for the struggle. In Thessaly'
the position Of affairs is different,
Here there are no Albanians and the
Mussulman population is relatively
small, but the peasants of the great
plain which comprises a large part of
the province are not a warlike race
and are pretty well satisfied with their
lot, for they have abundance of fer
tile land, which they rent from the
Beys on advantageous terms. It is
only on Olympus and the adjacent
mountains, among the descendants of
the Armatoles and Klephts, who play
ed an important part in the war of in-
dependence, that the Greeks a look
for active supports. These noun
taineers will in all probability give
the Turks a great deal of trouble and
annoyance, but so long as the latter
have the command of the sea it will
be impossible to keep up regular come
munication between the insurgents
and the Greek regular army. In this
way the instruction of Olympus will
never get beyond the form of brigan-
dage on a large scale, or at most Of
guerilla warfare, which cannot have q
influence on the final results of the,

their wounds, and a large number besides
were disabled. This information is brought
by Captain Lambart, who was released
on parole, with Captain Elliott, of the 9th
and sent into the Orange Free State, un-
armed. While crossing the Vaal River,
however, they were fired upon by the
escort of Beers, and Captain Elliott was
killed. The Beers are entering Natal, and
boasting that they will reach the sea. The
whole affair looks as if the farmers, who
are very ignorant, had an idea like that
of the Sepoys in 1857, that if they killed
out the European soldiers the country was
sure to belong to them. A murder, of
course, merely proves that there are muir.
derers, but we do not see how it is posi-
BILE to negotiate or compromise with men
capable of such acts. Grant that they are
by right the armed citizens of a free State,
and still they should give soldiers decent
waning that a truce has ended, and spare
persons from whom their own leaders have
accepted o parole. We doubt if the Beers
will find their friend Sir Evelyn Wood,
who, we are happy to see, is going out as
second III command. any more pitiful 20
such acts than the fercest martinez in the
Service.
We are happy to see that Sir q. Z. Col
ley fully appreciates the tone in England
with respect to the Transvaal. In his first
general order to the troops, he states that
rebellion must be put down and the stain on
our arms effaced, but trusting that neither
officers nor men will allow their sOldierly
feeling to degenerate into revenge. The
task now forced on us is a painful one, and
he hopes all ranks will assist him to miti-
gate the sufferings it must entail. ave
must be careful to avoid Furnishing the
innocent for the guilty, and must remem-
Der. that though misled and deluded, the
Beers are in the main a high-SpiIited peo-
pie, actuated by feelings that are entitled
to orr respect" That is the right attitude
to assume, even if we believe, as seems to
us true, that the Beers are actuated by a
desire to govern the natives absolutely and
without respect to justice, quite as much
as by any patriotism worthy of admiration.
A Shareholder may be a genuine patriot,
but he is only entitled to respect for one
side of his character on the other side, he
is a man against whom rebellion is not
only lawful, but imperative. Nevertheless,
though it is possible to carry liberation to
the point of weakness, nothing is gained
by allowing enemies to feel that submiS-
sion will not secure them from outrage or
humiliation. Ifyou want al army to sur
render, give every prisoner q feather-bed

In the treatment of this case the pa
tent should be confined on a light diet
and potion of cooling medicine should
also be given-ten,or twelve ounces of
Glauber salts dissolved in six gills of hot
water. As soon as the liquid is suili-
GENTLY cool it should be poured down
the throat from a smooth-necked cham.
payne bottle. The tumeled parts should
be kept constantly wet by means OF
bandages thoroughly saturated in mix
ture composed of equal parts of pure
cider vinegar and cold water. This
treatment should be well persevered in
for few days. Should the tumor in tho
meantime increase in size and the parts
develop much heat, poultice of bruised
faXseed should be applied twice daily
for forty-eight or ninety six hours,o or an
til the tumor manifests q tluctUating
feeling. You will please note that no
procrastination should be INDUCED in,
such as waiting patiently for the tumor
to break of its own accord, but as soon
as the matter can be distinctly felt by
pressure make an incision slantingly
with u sharp knife upon the right side
of the neck at the base of the abscess.
The incisiOn or cut must not be made so
deep as to come in contact with the spi-
nal corn or marrow. The opening of
the base of the tumor should be made
sufficiently large to allow the pus to
freely escape as fast as it forms. A Sc
ton should be passed down from the
natural opening at the top af the tumor
through the artificial opening made at
its base. Before inserting the seton it
should be dipped in tincture of canthar-
ides. This will be found the safest and
best plan to adopt for promoting
healthy granulation and adhesion to the
walls of the tumor. The fistulous track
is not probably very long, and the tape
seton will work its way gradually but
eflicaciously out, by which time the
cure is made. A stimulus is also neces-
sary to be applied TO the interior of the
tumor, by resaturating the seton, in
three or four days after it is first in
serted, wfeA solution made by dissolv-
ing ten grains of nitrate of silver in one
ounce of cold water. This latter-named
stimulus should be applied twice per
week until healthy discharge of pus
appears; then stop. In the opening,
from the top down to the artificial OPEN
ing at the bottom, should be injected
three times a week a stimulus composed
of one drachm of chloride zinc dissolved
in one pint of cold water. Apply the
zine lotion ia half an hour after using
the cantharides tincture and the nitrate
of silver solution. The tincture of can
tharides should only be applied once,
and the nitrate Of silver solution on the
third or fourth day after, and continue
as long as found necessary; but the zinc
lotion should be applied once daily until
healthy grsnulatiOn takes place, then
every second or third dayuntil the parts

Tradc-NIarks.

The importance of law that would pro.
tect trademarks is receiving marked atten-
ton from the business public as well as from
Congress, the brands on some goods adding
largely to their commercial value, because
their merit is known to the consumer, and
the buyer looks to trademark as constituting
his security. Thus the Gorham trade mark
on sterling siyerware; Colgates' mark to in.
dictate the various grades Of their soaps and
toilet goods, has also very high commercial
value. The CHARTER OAK STOVE has a
peculiar value of its own which so distln-
guishes it from all Others that it has acquired
very large commercial value. Lorillard
Tobaccos are goods that the consumer asks
for in the same way. The law cannot be too
severe in protecting honest manufacturers.
The burning Of the great stove works gave
dealers some excuse for substituting other
stoves for the CHARTER OAK, but now that
the CHARTER OAK factory is nj work again
turning out over POO stoves day, the trade
can get their orders filled promptly, and the
year 1881 bids fair to surpass all previous
years in the demand fOrthe famous CHARTER
OAK make. (4-2o)
