The Dag5Iad of 9th October to hand
by German mail contains an article
on the West Indies which has excited
considerable comment here, and Of
which we viii give Il brief summary.
The writer mentions the complaints
frequently made in regard to the
labouring population that they will
not work steadily and SO forth, and
then speaks Of the movement lately
set on foot with a view to immlgra-
ton as a remedy for the evil, insinu-
ating that in some degree this move
ment is founded on i'll will to-
wards the labouring class and the
wish Of suppIanting it by foreign
elements. He thinks that this is the
wrong way to go work to improve
the island, and his objection is that
immigration would only increase
the misery of the %labouring class.
The island must be improved he
SAYS by improving the condition Of
that class partly by instruction III
schools, but chiefly by encouraging
the rise of a body Of small proprietors
or lessees who should work the land
on their own account. AS a neceS-
sary accompaniment of this mode Of
cultivation he wishes to see central
factories established also in the
western portion Of the island; and
points out how the present factory
has been very beneficial to the cul-
~tivation of the eastern halt OF the
sugar growing district.
The sentiments of the writer in the
DaqJlad are certainly most praise
worthy and we are sure that everyone
will agree with him in his wishes to
raise the labouring class Intellectual
" and materially, and also when he
points out that the material rise is
the first thing, as it will serve as
foundation for the intellectual and
moral rise. A number of small pro-
prietors, who would cultivate the

to the whole class to which they
belong, and to the community at
large by increasing the produce OF
the Island. We also agree with the
writer in the D0gblad, when he
states that Centralfactorips enable the
smallest proprietor to cultivate n
forsugarmanufacturing and thus also
make possible the existence and
success of a number of small pro-
prietors. But we fail to see how
the correctness of these views should
in any way bear against the immigra-
ton question. The partial change in
the ownership Of the land, in which
the correspondent sees a remedy for
existing evils, cannot and will not be
wrought out in a few years for it
cannot be the meaning OF the Dagblad
writer that small landlots shoull be
gratuitousIy distributed ever if you
could find a proprietor who would
thus sacrifice a portion of his at pre-
sent uncultivated land, we think 1t
would be but a poor service to the
labourers and the commonwoal it
is evident dat the average labourer
Of the present day with his want OF
energy would make but little or
nothing out Of such a lot, too easily
come at, and he would take no pains
to pay the most moderate renc Or tho
smallest instrument. Looking to the
present state here and to that OF pre-
yious times, it viii be found that
the labourar has very rarely acquir-
ed any land Of his own; but we do
not thinh that tAa impo>sihiIity of
c~ultiyat;ug sugar on a small scale
without the assistance Of a Factory
has had anything to DO with this fac,
fer small lots Of land could certainly
wiih advantage have been cultivated
in fruit and vegetables. W. need III
this respect only point to the tact that
fruit is imported here from distant
islands, and that we have a large
market for fruit and vegetables near
b, in ST. Thomas. TIE true reason
must be sought elsewhere, and we find
it in the formerly so called provisional
labour-regulationS under which the
Industrious labnurcr had no fair
chance Of showing his worth OF

Confederate Assets.
MILLIONS OF PROPERTY SAID TO BE IN EUROPE
AND AMERICA.

MILLIONS OF PROPERTY SAID TO BE IN EUROPE
AND AMERICA.
The New York Herald publishes a detailed
schedule of property belonging to the late
Confederate States, hoth in Europe and the
United States, furnished to the government
by various parties who were applicants for
contracts to recover the same for the United
States. The only sum collected by these
agents was 100000, on which the expenses
were 5000, leaving $4,000 to be turned into
the treasury. At that time there were three
rival agents at work, and their divvies and
sums paid for information very nearly exhaust
ed the principal. According to the schedule
the whole value of the assets amounted to $40
o2S,992, of which $11,000000 were in the
United States. There are five items, footing
up $9,760,000, for Which the English firm Of
Fraser, Trenholm 81 Co, was liable, including
the value OF cotton, army and navy equip
ments and stores reshipped to the firm from
Havana, St Georges and Nassau, after the
surrender of General Lee, and the proceeds of
eight steamers and Enfield rifle machinery.
Though this firm was said to own property in
Columbia and Charleston, $. c., and Savanna,
Georgia, valued at $4,000, 900, no steps were
taken to attach it as security for repayment
The schedule contains thirty-two items, and
the following include the principal amounts :
Eleven million dollars is said to be deposited
with rebel agents in Vienna Frankfort, Am
sterdam, Paris and London; rebel ironworks
in Scotland valued at 100000; sixteen cases
OF silver, value unknown, in the hands of a
rebel agent at st. Georges, Bremunda !; rifle
cannon machinery in the possession of respon-
sible London parties, valued at $1,000000
eighty thermometers, valued at $4,000, stolen
by the Florida and Alabama; seven tons of
specie, 1924 1000; Danish frigate, for which
$1,000 600 was paid shoes and blankets valued
at $506,292, which were sold in New York. the
proceeds of which could be recovered and
1888, 600 in money in the hands Of Confede-
rate agent in Paris. There are also the pro-
ceeds derived from the sale of the steamers
Hansa, Falcon, Grelyn, Greyhound, Pelican,
Rosensburg, City of Richmond, Whisper,
Abigail, Florence, Louisa Wallace, Eugene,
Ptarmigan, Edith, Lydia, Rappahannock, Pal
merston. Alexandria. Rattlesnake Mary Au-
gusta, Cyclone, Tornado, Harriet Pinckney,
Old Dominion, City of Petersburg and Colonel
Lamb-amounting to s., 537 900. In addition,
there are six items Of Confederate property in
the United States, valued at $11,00000O, CON
sstng of iron-works and lands, Touring mills,
machine shops, foundries and railroads in Ma
rion and Davies counties, Texas, and in North
ern Alabama, and cotton shipped from Mem
phis, Brownsville, Galveston and Matamoras,
after the end of the war. The Herald trusts
that this list will not induce any one to invest
in the worthless old paper, OF the ''lost cause
and conjectures that the whole thing is more
shadowy and unsubstantial than the imaginary
millions awaiting American claimants in Lon
don and Amsterdam.

ONLY.


only babe on It's mothers breast,
Softly Graded TO take its rest;
Laughing eyes with their depths of blue
Gazing forth with wondering view;
While dimpled chin, and rosy lips,
And hands with their dainty finger tips,
Reflect the light of a borrower grace,
That SHINES on far-oft cherub's face:
Only babe by love caressed,
sunny bird in a sunny nest,
Yet 1t shall live deathless soul.
When the waves of time have ceased to roll.
Only a boy in the fields at play,
Careless ana happy the livelong day;
Chasing the butterny's gaudy wings,
Turning again to less brilliant things;
Prattling away in his childish glee-
His silvery laugh rings clear and free:
The light winds play with his shining hair,
And the Sunbeams leave their traces there:
Only boy, laughing sprite,
Intent on his play with keen delight;
Yet he shall live deathless soul,
When the waves of time have ceased 10 roll
Only youth, with smiling face
Where the passing years have left no trace.
He walks erect, for his heart is light;
His step is free, for his hopes are bright;
He views the world with pleased surprise,
Which shines IN the light Of his beaming eyes;
All things he sees are wondrous fair,
For the beauteous tint of the rose is there
Only youth, with joyous face,
Seeking to find in life his place;
Yet he shall live deathess soul,
When the waves OF time have ceased to roll
Only man, with a lofty mien,
A thoughtful look on his face is seen:
He moves amid the things of time
A noble form in his glorious pri me-
LIES busiest scenes engage him now.
And care has touched his noble brow
A touch that yet is only light,
For his step is irm and his eye Is bright.
Only a man, in his manhood's prime,
Deving for dust in glittering mine:
Yet he shall live deathless soul
When the waves of time have ceased TO roll
Only form do we now behold,
Aged, and weary, and worn, and old;
Bowed by the burdens Of hopes and fears
The weight of his more thar fourscore years.
His hair once glossy, is silver gray
And his vision is sadly dim to-day;
But, seel he has passed from mortal sight
And we behold in the waning light
only form.that is cold and dead.
Where, oh! where, hath the spirit fed?
For it shall live a deathless SOUL
When the waves of time have ceased to roll.
