gossiping about the pecuniary success
of Edward Everett's lectures, says
Everett was hardly lecturer in the
ordinary sense of the term, and vet his
address on the character of Washington.
delivered in behalf OF the Mount Vernon
Association, was of this nature.
The amount cleared by the various de.
liverles Of this address averaged S4OO
for each occasion, and it was repeated
40 times. In fact, Everett's oratory
has done more for charity than that Of
any other speaker on record.
Including the Mount Vernon effort.
the aggregate is nearly 100000 Imay
add, as special feature, that his address
on the early days of Franklin. which
was repeated five times, yielded $4,000
for charitable objects.
Another address which was repeated
fifteen times brought $13, 500 for similar
purposes. The eulogy on Thomas
Dowse, delivered twice in behalf of two
institutions, brought 81 500.
Everett was the most ACCOMPLISHED
man of his age, being at home in states
manship, literature, oratory and the
highest walks of learning.
His versatility was such that it de-
served the expression which johnson
applied to Goldsmith, that there was
nothing in literature that he did not
touch, and nothing that he touched that
he did not adorn.
Everett's memory was really wonder
full. As preacher he frequently mem
orized the hymns to be used of Sab
bath, because it aided in reading them
to the congregation.
He committed to memory almost
everything that came under his attention
for many years in other words, what
entered the eye was fixed upon the
brain.
To this is to be added rare personal
beauty, statuesque dignity, and charm
ing power of oratory. How surprising
that this admirable concentration Of
gifts never inflated their possessor, who
was through life so marked by simplicity
of character

WEDNESDAY, 18Th JULY 1881.

The first part of the Colonial Coun-
cirs Meeting on Monday was occu-
pied with formal business, chiefly
the examination of letters Of election
and nomination ofnew members, and
the appointment of members to serve
on the various communal commits
sions. Judge Jtrs presided. On the
disposal of the aboyenamed matters,
the President introduced the Budget.
After a few words of apology that
the Budget had been introduced so
late, four months of the year which
it was to cover having already pass
ed, and at the same time stating that
this was moi a new but a very old
fault, which he would in future do
his Bcst to remedy, he proceeded to
commenton thefiguros. The estimated
Revenee is $158, 900, while the eSti-
mated Expenditure isabout 1921, 900,
consequently an expected deficit Of
about $4,000. Ii the two large
items CT the military expenses and
the guarantee to the factory (S46,O00
and S45, 600 respectively were omit
ted, there would be a surplus OF about
ST., 900. About these two large
items he could not say much, but III
regard to the first at least it was
known that the Homo Government
was endeavouring to help us, and he
liz NOT therefore consider the Bud
get as disheartening.
The revenue derived from import
duty had been calculated on a proba-
bic crop of 5000 hhds. lie was
happy to state that it had since been
found that the crop would be much
larger. To date there had been ship
ped 5000 hhds., and he had learned
from merchants and others that there
were between 1900 and 1900 more
vet to be shipped, so that the crop
would be about 5000 hhds., a good
average crop for St. Croix. If the
present excellent prospects were re.
allied we might also anticipate a good
beginning for the next season, andon
the whole he thought the duty, which
had been put down at S28,8O0,
would realize about $4,000 more. If
the island prospered it was well
known that imports Increased, and we
might reasonablylook for an improve
ment also in the import duty, which
had been estimated on the average OF
the last 8 years at $4,000. If our
present good prospects continue we
might reasonably anticipate that the
total income would be $4,000 to
S12, 900 more than here stated. In
regard to items of expenditure there
was a reduction of about $4,000 in
the expenses for the Superior Local
Administration. This chiefly arose
from the Acting President receiving
s4,75o, not $4,000 as a~ppearedin the
Budget, and the Acting Secretary
$1,775 instead of $4,000. There

the Military Expenses, arising from
the desire Of the authorities, and
he might say the King himself,
to provide the men with clothing
more adapted to the climate,
chiefly helmets to be used i'll long
journeys in the heat of tie sun, and
linen Jackets. Aftergiving some further
details the President stated that the
Finance Minister had requested to
have our Budget in hand as soon as
possible, and as this vas very impor-
tant in connexion with grave ques-
ton concerning .our affairs which
were being dealt with at home, ne
hoped the Council would further the
Budget with as little delay as
possible.
On the conclusion of the Presidents
remarks it was resolved to pass to 1st
discussion of the Budget.
My. Latimer moved the appoint
ment of a Committee. He said that
as we could not pay our way,
members could have little to say on
the Budget; but we had a new
Governor, and no doubt His Excollen-
cy would like to consult the members
on several matters, the opportunity
for which would be furnished by the
appointment of a Budget Committee.
In answer to a question from the
Chairman Mr.. Latimer said that he
also wished to move for a Committee
on Building expenses.
Dy. KaImcr asked if the Governor
wished to meet such a Committee, it
so it ought to be appointed, other
wise he should oppose the motion.
Nh. Fa5er could well understand
that many members might wish to
see His Excellency among US and
have an opportunity to discuss mat
ters with him; but any such discus
sion would not affect the present
Budget, and as it was Of 50 great i'm
portance that there should be no
delay he would vote against the
appointment Of d committee.
Nv. Coulter remarked that recent
great changes in the labour laws Of
the island had affected many other
matters, which required looking into,
and he would second the motion to
appoint a Committee because he
thought attention would thereby be
called to such matters. In reply The
President pointed out that there were
other means available to Members of
the Council to call attention to any
defects in the laws or their work
ing, and therefore a Budget Committee
was not necessary to that end.
After a somewhat animated discus
sion the motion was lost by II votes
against 5.
Mr.. Latimaer said he was astonished at
this decision ofthe Council, but thought
it might be explained by the strength
of the "Treasury Bench" He com
planned that a motion for a building
committee had been put along with
the motion for q Committee on the
whole Budget.
The Chairman pointed out that the
double motion had been put at the
movers own request, but he would
now allow the latter part to be put
as a new motion.

HOW LONG MANMAY LIVE.

|
II was Professor Hufeland's opini IN
that the limit of possible human life
might be SET down at two hundred years.
and this on the general principle that
the life of creature is eight times the
years of its period of growth. That
which is qlickly formed lickly perishes
and the earlier complete development is
reached the sooner bodily decay ensues.
More women reach old age than men =,
Dut more men attain remarkable longey.
Ity thal women. Horned animals live
longer liY's than those without horns.
fierce longer than timid, and amphibious
long n than those which inhabit the air.
The voraciou pike exists, it is said. to
an age of one hundred and fifty wears
the turtle is good for one hundred wears
or more, and among birds the golden
eagle is known to have lived nearly two
hundred years, while the sly and somber
crow reaches the venerable age of a CEN
tury. Passing up in the scale of life to
man, and skipping the patriarchs, we
lind many recorded instances of longev-
lty among the classic Greeks and Ro.
mans. Pliny notes that in the reign of
the Emperor Vespasian. in the year '76,
there were one hundred and twenty.four
men living in the limited area between
the Apennines and the Po of one hund.
red years and upward, three of whom
were one hundred and forty, and four
over one hundred and forty. Cicero's
wife lived to the age of one hundred and
three, and the Roman actress, Luceia,
played in public as late as her one humid
red twelfth year. Coming down to more
recent times, the most notable authentic
Instance of great age is that of Henry
jenkins, of Yorkshire, England who
died in 1876. one hundred and sixty nine
years vi. He was fisherman, and at
the age of one hundred easily swan
across rapid rivers. Another historic
case is that of Thomar Parr, OF Shrop.

to the age of one hundred and fifty.two
years. When more than one hundred
and twenty he married his second wife,
and till one hundred and thirty he could
swing the scythe and WELD the fail with
the best of his fellow .laborers. In his
one hundred and fifty second year Parr
went to London to exhibit himself to the
King. 1t proved an unlucky visit, for,
violating the abstemious habit of cen.
tury and a half, the old man feasted 30
freely of the royal victuals that he soon
died, merely of plethora. On examina-
ton his internal organs proved to be in
excellent condition, and there was no
reason why he should not have lived
much longer, save for his unfortunate
taste of royal hospitality. Professor
Hufeland's roll Of Centenarians includes
many more remarkable cases.
