GRENADA.

From the review of the past year
given in the Chronicle we extract the
following items:
"The colony in a commercial sense
has not prospered. A gradual decline
in the price of its staple product has
saddened the ~countenance of the
agriculturist and rendered chary those
who not long before were willing to
make monetary advances to specula-
tors. The efforts of the Anti Sugar
Bounty agitators at home, though
gaining ground, had not attained the
object aimed at, viz. the abolition of
the ruinous hounties or the pro-
mitigation in England of some coun-
tervailing measure, and the few sugar
planters who with patient hope had
long been awaiting ga better time
coming" growing weary by "hope
deferred" and Disguised with the
prospect before them, r turning
their attention to other matters. 1t
has been, all through the year, a con-
tinuance of outlay with them and no
recompense. We have therefore, to
record the abandonment, or CONVEX

sion into cocoa or other plantations,
of those estates which had hitherto
been devoted to extensive cane cult
walton. AS a consequence Of this
state Of affairs agricultural, the mer-
chants and other business men have
had to complain of dull times"
"a Saving Bank Ordinance was
introduced at the last Session of the
Council. When this be-
comes law it will have to be classed
among the improvements Of 1880"
"Socially, we think we can safely say
the island is fast recovering from the
condition into which it lapsed about
two years ago. The bitter personal
luminosity which existed between
those to whom we looked for better
things, though not yet quite extinct,
is apparently dying out. We long
for the time when the inhabitants of
this little community will have learnt
to pull together-each working for
the others good-and with hat harmo-
ny commended Of old and the only
true attribute of the peace and happi-
ness ofapeople."
"We not Iongsince remarked on the
solvent state OF our Treasury. 1t is
pleasant to know hat we end the year
virtually free from debt, and with a
surplus Of $4,000 and odd, to the
credit Of the colony"

JAMAICA.

The Cleaner of the 8th inst, review
ing the events of the past year, re-
marks in regard to the results of the
August hurricane "it was feared hat
as the provision grounds OF the peo-
pie we're ruined, and the banana,
orange and mango crops we'll nigh
totally destroyed, the country people
might be in want of food. But up
to the present time. although drought
has added its woes to those of the
storm, only one portion of the Island
the Metcalfe District-has been
sorely distressed"
Business e in Kingston at
Christmas tide are graphically de-
picted.
"On Friday evening sights were
to be seen down town of the ordinary
character. Large numbers Of taverns,
stores, etc, were decorated with
cocoanut boughs of a p~rofusion and
largeness rejecting most discreditably
on the character of the Cyclone that
spent a summer vacation down here.
AIR. Gall opened his new establish
nent at Myrtle Bank, and his bazaar
was a great centre of attraction all
through the evening. The various
~raffes, lotteries, and tombola trees
were largely patronised."
Christmas Day dawned brightly,
and every body was present at early
market. The crush was tremendous,
and In the midst of it we noticed MIR.
David Dudley Field, who, as he was
shown the lions by Mr.. A. Musgrave,
Jr. smiled benignantly on all and dis
played the liveliest interest in the
scene"
On Thursday, 3Oth December, two
violent shocks OF earthquake were
felt in Kingston, the undu1ations being

that 1t may fairly be looked upon as
a handmade, or rather, sister of the
elder one, Sugar Manufacture. Sug-
gested, and fostered into life, by Sir
John Peter Grant, Gone of the few
good things he comprised during his
Vice-royalty, and for which his
memory will be cherished in this
country,) this Fruit Trade naturally
took shape and form in the Eastern
division of the Island; but We are
glad to note that not only in the
locality Of our publication, but at
Lucea, Montego Bay, Savannah
mar, and, we believe, Black River,
weekly relays OF fast steamers arrive
to take away minor produce which,
but six or W. years ago, rotted on
the trees, uneaten, formed the larger
portion of the food for swine, or were
sold in the markets at prices so low,
as almost forbade the cost and
trouble Of their carriage thither. Hope
then is unified, and satisfaction is
%quickened, at the development OF this
new groove of profitable labour and
occupation"
BARBADOS.
The Globe contains little news of
general interest. The health of the
island was good. The Chairman of
the Railway Board had been visiting
the island, and had made a trip on
the new railway on New Years Day,

Of the local Board) being run over
the line as far as HaggaH Hall planta;

occasion, and we understand that Sir
George and the Directors expressed
themselves very much pleased with
the result Of their trial trip, and with
the progress made by the Contrac-
lois. 1ne Ra1lS are now laId as 1ar
as the Valley Estate, and will be
linked in as tar as Windsor before the
end Of the month. Beyond some
triAing work at the last named Estate,
the whole line is graded as far as
Consett's Point, SO that the Company
will have no difficulty in taking down
this seasons crop from Bashy Park,
or even further. Two Of the large
Locomotives and the Rolling Stock
have been shipped at Bristol in the
Enmorc and are expected here very
shortly, when, with the increased
steam power, the Contractors will be
enabled to proceed even more rapidly
than at present"

A NEW TRANS-AUSTRALTAN RAIL
WAY.

The colony ofQueensland seems likely to be
tie first to pnt into practical execution th0
long-cherished hope of q trans-Australian rail-
way, which shall connect the northern with the
southern shores of the island continent, and
bring the colonies within 80 days of England,
making those which are nov practically NEST
distant from Europe the nearest in point OF
lime as they are by right of geographical posi-
lion. The original route proposed for the
trans-Australian railway was from Port Augusta
in South Australia to Pslmsrstop, the central
port of the northern COAT, adopting generally
The line passed through by the existiog over
land telegraph. The distance to be traversed
In q direct line from the northern terminus OF
the South Australian Railway to Palmerston
Is 1,400 miles, and considerable connecting
links would have to be constructed between
the existing lines in the adjoining colonies to
complete direct communication between Port
Augusta and Melbourne and Sydney. By the
new route now proposed, and, In fact, finally
adop ed by the Queensland Government, the
following advantages are secured. The prin-
cipaI railway from Brisbane has just been com.
plpted in a north westerly direction to RomaS
q distance of 81 miles, aud from this point to
the nearest part of the Gulf of Oarpentaria
on the north coast is. 10 a direct line, barely
$50 miles. The line would almost touch on
its way the important railway from Rockhamp'
ton to Emerald Town, and the blanks TO be
filled up 10 the existing lines etween Erls-
bane aud Sydney are no greater than the Inks
REQUIRED to complete the chain between Ade-
laide and Sydney. If these latter are COM
pleted, there will be, on the completion OF the
now projected line from Roma to the Gulf
Of Carpentaria, continuous railway communica-
ton between tia northern and southern COASTS
of Australia, having the additional advantage
Of II av ersiug the whole of the most settled
districts. and connecting all the prlnclpsi
cities, except those 10 Western Australia. The
Queensland Government has passed an Act
suthorising the construction of the trans-con-
tiuental railway, aud a syndicate has already

general temperance work will move In
snail like pace.
1t is time for temperance people to
think. Enthusiasm 5hould follow
thought. No harm can follow hon
esty of purpose. If the Prohibition
lists, Murphyites, Good Templars Sons
of Temperance, and Ancient Templars
want temperance laws they should
not stray away from home, to get
them. Put the enthusiasm Of these
several organizations into a moral SEN
timent within the party, and there
will be no trouble about getting good
laws-Iaws that can and will be en-
forced.
Disband the so called Prohibition
party. There is nothing in it. 1t is
all futter and flash. 1t disturbs the
work Of true temperance. 1t lacks
organization. 1t lacks honesty Of

Died Instantly-ShOt by a Woman.

Yesterday evening tragedy occur
red at the foot of Warren hill, on the
Marion road.
Some days ago party entered the
house of Mrs. Elizabeth Leisure, at the
above named place, and broke up her
furniture. Last evening two of these
men were at her house trying to pre-
vent threatened legal proceedings by a
compromise. Her husband had gone
to a neighbor's to secure the loan of a
wagon. Her sister was in the house
with her. At this juncture four men
came along, returning from Ashland
in coal wagon. They stopped and
went into the house, swearing they
were better men than those who were
already there. The first men men,
toned quietly slipped out of the back
door, and Mrs. Leisure ordered the
newcomers out. They cracked their
whips and swore, and one of them,
Moses Markins, a young married man,
of about 20 years, struck at her with
his fist, when she drew revolver and
fired, striking him in the side, Just
below the heart. He walked through
the yard onto the road and fell dead.
After considerable search last night,
Constable Hornbuckle and Deputy
Sheriff Bowers arrested Mrs. Leisure
at the house Of her mother, Mrs. Huff,
in the neighborhood of the scene of
the tragedy.
Mrs. Huff was armed, expecting
further trouble, and in handing the
pistol, discharged it, and shot herself
through the hand.
Mrs. Leisure is now in the County
Jail. Her preliminary examination
takes place to-day.
Coroner Ellison held an inquest this
morning, and returned verdict in ac-
cordance with the facts.
Markins had been married about six
months, and his wife lived near Bald
Knob.

The Temperance Problem.

TO the Editor OF the CINCINNATI Gazette.
The pivot on which this question
turns is method. Unless there is con-
cert of action, Of what use is method? ?
The reason there is no concert of ac-
ton rests upon the fact that temper
ance folks, as rule, do not know what
they want. Some of the total absti-
nence organizations are led by party
prohibitionists. What party prohibi-
tionists want, who can tell? Nowhere
has party prohibition curtailed the
liquor traffic. The alleged prohibitory
law of Maine was brought about with
out the aid Of party action. The
prohibition of the liquor traffic is not
a political question. The prohibition
of horse. stealing was brought about
without political aid. Arson, murder,
theft, burglary, etc., have long since
had a place in the Statutes Of Ohio as
prohibitions" and not as the children
of any political party.
Personal liberty grants man the
privilege to use strong drink. Moral
stamina is responsible for the abuse of
that privilege. Political parties can
not affect personal liberty. When
personal liberty Injuries society, society
must appeal to the law of the land,
and not to a political party.
Kansas has constitution / prohlbl-
ton. How was it obtained? Through
temperance sentiment existing in the
Republican party-no such organiza-
ton as the Prohibition party exists in
the State. Although not a party
question, the Democrats opposed it.,
and the constitutional amendment was
the issue in Kansas. The Legislature
of Kansas that gave the ballot privi-
lege to the voters on that question was
Republican.
Every enactment for temperance
made by the Legislature of Nebraska
had the support almost to man) Of
the Republican members. The Re-
publican members of the Iowa Legis-
lature have ever been for any law that
would lessen drunkenness.
Twice in succession the Republican
members of the Ohio Legislature mon
umented the principles of the party
by voting for every temperance meas
ure introduced. At no time has the
Republican party of Ohio made his
tory against temperance The major
ity of the members of the Sons OF
Temperance, of the Good Tempiars, of
the Ancient Templars, of the Royal
Templars, and of the Prohibition par
ty came from the Republican party
Why these divisions? Can not these
factions work harmoniously ly IN the
ranks of the Republican party? Tc
divide the sentiment of the party into
opposing factions is lending aid to the
liquor business, besides weakening thC
general work of temperance.
Work within the party will prove
the winning method. As long a
there is a separate Prohibition party
making war from year to year upol

In paper dedicated to agriculturists
it has been maintained that horseshoes
are an absolute necessity, but that
the difficulty in riding or driving
through the London streets arises from
the variety of pavements in use.
From Westminster to the Bank,
horses have to travel over macadam,
asphalte, wood and granite. The shoe
adapted for traffic on one kind of
pavement i'll suits another" But is
it so? Ask Mr.. Smither. "If we had
uniform kind of pavement, shoe
for uniyersaI (?) use would be quickly
invented. The ingenuity of man
would devise horseshoes to travel over
glass, were glass the only pavement in
use." This is an insult to the COM
mon sense of it's readers. 1t has been
widely, and for a long time, proved
that the naked foot of the horse is as
much at home on one kind Of hard
road as on another, and can pass over
all Of them alternately without wear
ing out, or inconveniencing the horse,
and that on none of them will he slip,
or on wet grass either.
In Mexico, Yucatan, Honduras
(both British and Spanish, Guatemala,
San Salvador, Nicaragua, Cos!a Rica,
the United States of Colombia, Venez-
uela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, and Bra
zil, horses, mules, and donkeys are
worked over every description of hard
roads, most of them exceedingly rough,
carrying very heavy packs from the
back country down to the seaboard,
and in some cases making journey
of several hundred of miles, and they
load back again; yet they never wear
out their hoofs. The writer speaks
from experience; for it has been his
lot to own and work hundreds Of ami
mails at time in more than one of
these countries; and if shoeing could
have helped him in the slightest he
would most certainly have resorted to
it. No man could see four or five
hundred animals incapacitated from
work without seeking such simple
remedy; but it was never wanted, and
many years of experience of this kind
have naturally convinced him that
horses work better, and can travel
further, without shoes than with
them.-Horses and Roads.

Last evening, as the train due here
just after II, left Portsmouth, num-
ber of drunken rowdies, said to belong
at Sciotoville, got aboard. When
conductor Campbell asked for their
fares they refused to pay, and one of
them struck him with billy. The
baggage-master came to his assistance,
and the train was backed to Ports
mouth. On the platform he encount-
cred the man who started the row,
and knocked him down and pummell-
ed him well. He got up and ran. As
he was scaling "a fence, some one on
the train fired a pistol shot, and he
fell to the ground. It is not known
whether he was injured or not. Mr..

A person, who was DESTROYS Of get

him on board of a boat, and rowing
out into the river Seine, threw it over
board. The poor animal repeatedly
