The S2'a'lGjssS sick Trade.
From the JdM1icu GtsINer.)

We notice that our esteemed c0ntcmp0-
rary "The Colonies ana In In" publishes
under date OF December 2iJa Il letter from
(. w T.. r." correcting S0ma figures on the
walking stick trade which were igSt pub
liShed in our columns anI had afforded the
/" Colonies aud India material for a very
suggestive " Note
The subject is one Of Importance to ia
maica, and we venture therefore to correct
"W. f. RS corrections of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
-" w. f. r." states that the sticks are made
into bundles of 80, and not 900 or 500 as
stated by us. We can only suppose
that he has had no practical expert
once in the trade, at least not in the
Jamaica trade. The sticks from this Is.
land are made up in large bundles aver
aging in'number as we mentioned, upon the
authority Of shippers and our own 0bSer.
walton. 8" w. F. h. further takes the
value Of the Jamaica pimento export at
ESQ, 900 annually. The value in 1eS0 was
9l46, 900 in 1919, &19,400 and in 1873,
&75,0 600. These are the Official figures.
Nv. f. r." puts the sticks down at a value
Of from three half pence TO three pence
halfpenny each. The price paul in ia
maica is from 10, to rs per hundred, Sc.
lected,-t G. a good price after a very
large percentage Of short and crooked
sticks have been rejected.
Whatever may be the comparative value
of the pimento and the sticks, we can only
repeat what WAS said in The article upon
which the +" colonies and India" based its
~"note." The young trees are being up
Eooted and destroyed in a most shameful
way in order to supply the demand for
umbrella handles and walking sticks, and
our pimento export, which has been large,
will be kept down by this process, against
which we complained. There can be no
permanent increase IN pimento if the yoang
trees are not to replace the gaps caused
by time and weather in the old walks.
The quantity Of logwOod in the country
will perhaps never again be so great as it
was only fifteen years ago. and pimento
will have the same fate unless proper re-
strictions are put on the pulling up of the
young trees by persons who in most cases
have no right to them.

France s. ". Gambrlta,
(From the Times Of II jan J

Amid much that is doubtful IN
mysterious, there is apparently one
thing indIspulabIe in the pending
crisis in France, and that is that
NJ. Gambetta's policy has produced
widespread irritation and disappolnt
meut in the world Of politicians.
The GOODNESS aud the sneers with
which the Ministerial declaration Of
Saturday was received in the Gham-
Der of Deputies have been comment
ed upon by Il Paris Correspondent,
and it is lot denied, even by The
organs Of the Government, that the
majority showed either apathy or
open hostility. Nor are there any
sign. as yet that the question which
VI. Gambetta has chosen to raise has
deeply moved public opinion among
the French people. 1t is probably ac-
curate enough to say that the Rrpuh-
lican party as a whole has accepted
the principle Of 5crutin de HSte, an that
the country, by returning al over.
whelming republican majority, has IN
dorsed the decision. But no one ina
gines thar the demand for the subsitu-
tlon ola system OF voting by depart
mentS for a system of voting by dis
trictS, each containing 100000 inhabit-
anls,is %pas>ionately des.redby the cleo
tors of France. 1t may be possible
to impress the popular imagination
with this idea. but for the present,
at any rate, there is no trace Of any
feeling like thai in England half a
century ago, which found voice in the
cry for "the Bill, the whole Bill,
" and nothing but the Bill" Never
theleSS, it would be easy to undcrrate
the strength of NJ. Gambetta's posi-
ton, and it would be imprudent to
calculate upon the persistence OF the
sentiments and Interest that confront
him. He has shown a quality which
his admirers speak Of as courage and
his less favourable critics as ~rashneSs,
and it may be reasonable 10 compIain
of his impatient and imperlous at

tives of the nation. But it would be

The War in'Tunis.
PARIS, JAN. Is.

nOunced that a surgeon'major of the
Carthage Hospital having declared
himself the author of the letter you
published on the horrors of that in
stitution, has been visited with a
, 1882-02-11

NJ. Gambrtta really takes his stand.
He is conyinced-of course, he may
be wrong, but his conviction is GER
ttinIY not an idle flight of vanity
that he possesses, in q supreme de-
gree, the confidence of the people.
He occupies something like the posi-
tion which Mr.. Gladstone occupied
after the general election of 1880.
Whether the electors think much or
little of scyutn de liste, they have
shown beyond question that they
desire to see NJ. Gambeha at the head
Of affairs in France, and they are, no
doubt, prepared to do or TO consent
to anything in reason which he deems
necessary TO affirm his ascendency or
to 2ive effect to his policy.
The faith Of the French people in
n. Gambetta may prove a broken
reed to lean upon, but it is natural
that Il Minister of his character and
antrc dents should prefer to trust to
popular confidence rather than to the
fidelity of an assembly elected under
a system he is pledged to amend. 1t
is not disputed, even by his seyerest
crnsors, that NJ. Gambetta, upon an
appeal to HE electors, whatever the
immediate issue, would, at the present
moment, triumph over all opposition.
1t is coutcnded that his measures are
abrupt, harsh, imperi0us and unfair
to il bDly who have scarcely entered
on the discharge of their representa-
tive duties. Il is urged that there IS
no excuse for a step which involves
the State in difficulties and zen in
dangers, that The Chamber has not
vet done anything to justify NJ.
Gambetta'S apparent di>trust, and
that it is in the highest degree mex
padlent to provoke a conflict on what
ought to be the sacred ground OF the
Constitution, unless for some exigent
reason. Oar Correspondent this
morning sends us extracts from the
Paris newspapers which prove that
the dissatisfaction observed at the
reading of the Ministerial statement
on Saturday is difused among all
political parties and sections, except.
the thorough going Gambettists.
This is only what was to be expected.
To many politicians the establishment
Of scyntjn de liste will be the knell of
doom and many more who are now
influential in groups and energetic
in b~ureaac will find their power and
opportunities of activity greatly d.
minished. But in what will this gnash-
M of teeth re8nlt7 The majority OF
the Republican Deputies cannot vote
against the principle OF scrutin de liste
without breach of public faith. They
can only, therefore, if they want to
carry their protests into effect, oppose
the Ministerial scheme of revision as
in%opporiunr, On this point they may
have ii logical victory, backed by the
votes of amljority. but they are bound
to consider what must follow. The
defeat Of VI 6 lmhetta, not upon any
issue Of principle, but OH the question
WHETHER, at the present moment, q
declaration from which the majority
are able to dissent should be inserted
in the text of the Constitution, would
destroy the hopes which Frenchmen
have cherished for half Il year past of

A Sad Loss.

On Monday last the funeral Of Miss
Bessie M. Pavley, 'JDE place from
Olivet Presbyterian church, and was
largely attended. Tao death OF Miss
Pawley has cast a gloom over number
of households, az she VAS loved and es
teemed by all who knew her She was
only q years Of age and was the main
support of widowed mother. For a
number of years she was "a pupil it. the
Girls High school, thls city and upon
being accepted as a teacher after an ex-
animation, she repaired to the training
school and gradu ALed from there.
While there she was considered an eX-
cellent teacher. About three weeks
before her sad death she wa. appointed
as a substitute in school No. Q, which
was clos ed on the att ,rEoon VI the fun
eral, out of respect to her memory
She was member of the Central
Presby terian church a number Of
years and was highly spoken OF by all
the leading mem pers, who took consid-
cradle interest IN her welfare and ad-
vancement Her death was caused by
typhoid fever, superinduced no doubt
by overwork as she did not spend An
idle moment. When not employed in
school she would be engaged in various
occup pations, such as sewing, book keep
ing, etc, and when the fever seized
her, her system was not in condition
to Withstand its forcible powers, and
she was taken to a better world. Her
place will be hard to fill, and her moth.

together. I'm
1t made no difference II they were II

was the same. Last evening Mrs. To-
bin fed them, and after they went t.
sleep placed them in . bed, and as they
seldom reused during the night gave
herself no farther anxiety until THU
morning not hearing anything OF hel
babes she went up stairs and found
them lying side by side dead, each II
the same position. No canse can be at
signed for their sudden death AZ they
were both we'll last evening. Th'
Coroner will investigate the case to
night.
