To the Editor Of the " st. Croir Avis."
DEAR Mr.. EDITOR,


There is nothing in the world so easy
as giving an opinion; consequently, in
general, there are few things SO utterly
valueleSS.
The man who pronounces Judgment on
the productions or scientific requirements
of another, ought not only to be as well,
but better Informed, in every minutjG than
he. on whose labours such Judgment is
given. Yet, tried by such a test, how
hippant, contemplate, and impertinent
appear the opinions of your correspondent
'A.n in his letter that appears in your
issue of the LIST inst, in answer to mine Of
February 18th. In this, l asked him, if
he thought himself competent in the
matter of Psychology, Medical Electricity
or Magnetism, to meet me in fair open
debate, or through the columns OF your
eStimable journal.
This, he has not done; utterly Oblivious
of the fact, that it was his duty, having
made the assertion that 1t acdS dangerous
to magnetize children, to prove 1t by logical
argument. This is not credltable to him,
nor instructive to the public. Neither are
harsh terms nor abuse, of benefit to man
kind. And, though it may amuSe "a" to
ask, in which University or Hospital was
educated, [ am not SO deficient in polite
ness as to retort IN the language of that
University Of Biltiagsgate, from which he
appears to be so perfect a graduate.
| am not ashamed, should any one be so
indiscreet as to ask the question, as to
where I got my education, to own that
almost all my knowledge has been acquired
among the Danish West Indian people,
who are not such bad instructors, after all,
if we were to take note, how improved
foreigners become, both in learning and
manners, after a few years residence
among them. Had GA" only the moral
courage to acknowledge this, and take
pattern by me, he would be probably, a
little more thought of, and his letter
would SAVIOUR more of that University
knowledge, he evidently thinks so neces-
sary to any one laying claim to the title of
scientist. Neither I'm I above declaring
that I have derived a good deal of instrnc-

ling the men. The item of Public InStrUC-
ton Showed no change, but it was hoped
during the year to bring in a measure
which would insure greater results for the
public without any increase in the grant.
Among the items under the head Sanitary
Department would be noticed a grantfOr edu-
eating two midwiyes. The amount for one
OF these had been granted already IN last
Budget, but too late to be used. 1t was OF
the greatest Importance to do something
in the direction here indicated. h Re
glSter Of Births and Deaths Showed that
IN the ten years from 1870 to 1879 there
had been 10,050 deaths against $500 births,
consequently a net loss to the population
of 1914. Of the total number OF deaths
1912 were children under two years of age,
and of these 2,463 were under one year.
In a neighbOuring island, Antigua, an
Improvement had been shown since the
adoption of certain precautions; and to
secure a natural increase of the population
was certainly the cheapest form Of imml-
grafton.
The cost of the Hospital, Poor, d Jail de
partments was altogether about $4,000.
If this be compared with the correSpOn-
ding expense for st. Thomas. where the
population is only about 5000 less, $4,000
W 1O,Ol VI ~ WILL DC OuIO W ~ Ai w
high. The cost i'll ST. Thomas is $4,000.
In regard to the prison department the
riots had of course led to an increased
expense, but if we compared the expenses
for poor relief alone we found them $4,000
in st. Thomas against SlO,0O0in St.CrOiX.
This seemed to shew that something was
required 20 raise our labouring class both
morally and physically.
In regard to the immigration find he
would mention that out Of the original loan
OF 500, $50 all but about $4,000 had been
repaid, and this balance would be paid off
in four instruments ending with 18th Decem-
Der 1888. 1t would then become a question
whether the tax should be discontinued,
or turned to some other purpose. The
Home Government thought it should be
used to improve the condition of the popu-
Iation. 1t would be a matter OF future
discussion.
The FactOyyguaraatee had becnplacedon the
Budget, since there were several past years
in question, although this year there was
good ground for hope that the Factory
would be able itself to pay the amount.
After the conclusion ofthe Presidents adj
dress LawyerLemming proposed a Commit
tee OF 5 members. The motion was second
ed by Nj. Latimer; and Messrs. Lemming.
Willard, Faber, Raphael, and WaSsard
were elected to form the Committee.

The arrival OF GaFibaldi at
Naples.
From the Times

(FrOm the IimeSJ
This letter should, perhaps, have
been devoted to a report of the ar
rival and reception of General Carl
BALD. He arrived by one Of the
Government steamers, the Esplora-
tore, and landed at Posilippo, where
the Villa MaravaI, once known as
Rocca Matilda, has been engaged for
him for three months. Many persons
will remember it as the scene Of
much hospitality offered by the late
Lady Strachan to others besides her
W countrymen. Two and twenty
years have elapsed since Garlbaldi
visited Naples. He was then a great
power in the State, and the Neapoli-
tans have not ceased to be grateful
to the mar who liberated them from
an oppressive tyranny. The marvel
lous and never to be forgotten scenes
which then were witnessed [ report
ed at the time; but though he was
welcomed on Friday with the pro-
foundeSt homage and the utmost en-
thusiaSm, circumstances are so chang
ed that the demonstrations could not
possibly be on the same scale. Ga
ribaIdi comes as a sick man. He
requires complete repose, and this
has been made known to the public,
who respect his wishes. Still the
people went down in their thousands,
and lined the hills above the villa, or
crowded the sea with their boats.
The Project, the Syndic, and Rear
Admiral Pertelli started early from
Naples by a Government steamer,
and waited several hours for the arri-
val of the E~sploratore. All possible
arrangements had been made for
carrying Garibaldi On shore, but he
preferred to remain in a boat seated
in the small wheel carriage which he
Uses in Caprera. 1t is needless to
say that his approach to land was
welcomed by the enthusiastic cries
of " VaUa Gar16aldi I" shouted by the
voices of many thousands. And now
it is to be hoped that he will be left
in peace. According to the report
of those who have seen the General,
he is evidently much aged and bears
every indication of infrmity. How
different from his appearance in
1860, when he was full of vigour and
animation.

SIR,

SIR,
The medical staff of our Island has again
suffered a diminution by the death of
Baron de BrettOn-One by one the old
familiar names become a "memory":
though, to many who have benefited by
their skill, a grateful one.
But it behoves us who have families
and others dependent on us for medical
assistance, to look ahead and at least
make an effort to retain the services of
those medical men that are among us at
present: for if / am not mistaken it is the
intention ofOne of these, DR.. Missing, to

There was discussion at Luray, Pare

Col. A. W. Jones. A special to the Rich

Mr. Massey led off in a speech of an

himself III favor of q repeal of the internal

equality with the productions of the pauper
labor of Europe, but above it. He reviewed
the legislative propositions that were ap-
proved by the big Four" and showed that
the purpose in trying TO secure the passage
or the propositions was to find places for
more necks and more mouths for the collars
and bits that Malone held"

in the passage of the BILL He said it was
high time for the people to look at hard
rock-bottom facts, follow that party of lib

that would carry out these views. One of
the hard rock-bottom facts as given by the
speaker was that scven-tenths of the money
OF the country was in the hands of the re-

get that money We must 90 to the republi-

Mr.. Massey followed in half-hour speech
and Col. Jones closed the discussion in a
speech of the same time Both speakers
were applauded, but the wonted enthusiasm
OF the readjusters was lacking.

Bloodless Duel.

CHRIsTIANSgURG, Va, July Captain
John :. Wise, readjuster candidate for Con.
gresanan at large, and John s. Crockett,
Commonwealth Attorney of Wythe county,
came to this place on an early train this
morning, and fought duel near here with
pistols. At the first round both fired at the
word, without effect. At the second round
Crockett's pistol exploded prematurely. At
ter reoading his weapon, both combatants
came to time for second, which resulted
in Wise's pistol missing fire and Crockett's
fire being harmless. Crockett, who was the
challenging party, expressed himself salts
fled, and the fight terminated This hostile
meeting had its origin in personal rencon-
tire which took place on Monday, 18th inst,
at Marion, in Smyth county, when Capt
Wise met Crockett and Intercepted him
about certain Language, which Crockett had
attributed to Wise. Crockett acknowledged
that he had made the statement and said il
was true. Wise denounced it as false and
struck Crockett. Before the latter could
resent the blow outsiders interviewed, and
both men were arrested and fined for breach
OF the peace. This caused q subsequent cor.
respondence which resulted in the duel. No
arrests have yet been made.
