Tho commissioners amman tohaYe done

The Commissioners appear tohaye done
we'll in awarding the contract for the
erection of the new capitol. There is
little doubt that the work will be be-
gun without unnecessary delay and pros
ecuted with yigor. The price to be paid,
1862, 75G 70, will doubtless enable the
Commissioners to meet all expenses out
side the contract, such as salaries, adj
yertising, plans and superintendent,
etc, and yet not exceed 100000, the
limit put on the total cost of the building,
1t is matter of deep regret that the
building cannot be erected entirely of
Georgia stone, but it would not be right
to pay more for Georgia stone than is
asked for Ohio stone. The blame must
rest upon the owners Of the quarries. The
Commissioners may be safely relied on to
see to it that the contract is faithfully
carried out.

TREASON IN OHIO
The Mclean Gang Have Sold the Demo

The Mclean Gang Have Sold the Demo
cratic Party Out to the Republicans.
There is a great deal OF gossip here,
says a Washington special to the Courier
Journal, about the Democratic campaign
in Ohio. The general opinion is that the
Cincinnati Enquirer gang will sell out
the party to Blaine if they are able to do
so. 1t is known that ''Gath' is hard at
work in Blalne's interests, as are all the
leading correspondents of that paper
The Washington correspondent OF the
Enquire - is a red-hot Blaine man, ana IL
is said that he is betting that the RepuDn-
cans will carry Ohio in October. AS TINS
correspondent is in full fellowship WIN
his boss, Mclean, it is thought here tnat
the latter has clipped" him. In this con,
nection the st. Louis Republican, an olu
and reliable Democratic journal, mas Uhe
following significant article In its issue oil
Sunday:
''rhe Ohio Democratic campaign Is
matter for Democrats to ponder. Inc
State is Republican beyond all question:
There are some disturbing conditions
which have led Democrats to hope Tor u
favorable result in October The country
should be undeceived on this subject. Inc
Cincinnati ENQUIRER, whose editor is VIZ
campaign, is making every effort to elect
Mr.. Blaine. The old and tried Democrats
of Ohio are sent back to the rear. Nothing
in the nature of an honest, faithful eHOrt
is being made by the present leaders IN
the State to carry it. 1t virtually being

1t would be a miracle il Ohio were not

Republicans should lose Ohio under eN-

upon. But with such Democratic leader

Mrs. Hampson. the Evangelist.

This lady, of whom so much has been said, ar
rived by the ZellaHdia. She is still suffering from
the effects of severe accident which occurred
during her Evangelistic services in Sandhurst.
At Geelong, Australia, where she held services
last before sailing for Honolulu, her success was
the most remarkable of any of the scores of "mis-
sions which she has held during the past four
years in the Colonies. Hundreds were added to
tho Churches, and Mrs. Hampson won the love
and esteem of all classes. The Daily GeeloRg Id
re'fser published the following leading editorial
upon the lady and her remarkable work in that
city:
Mrs. Hampsun, the lady who is at present risit-
ing this town and conducting gospel mission, is
possessed of quite phenomenal gifts. In these
days of womens rights, many privileges are claimed
Tor the weaker sex which men are rather slow to
concede. And, perhaps, least of all are the lords
of creation willing to be taught by a woman.
They have a very natural prejudice against sitting
at her feet in pubic at ali events, however abiect
may be their homage IN those more private rela-
tons where woman yields her sway. But Mrs
Hampson has won the golden opinions of men
everywhere, even of those who were not oonserva-
tive in their views to the subsection of woman.
What took place in Sydney, where members of
parliament, and ministers of the Crown, and
knights OF Bath, sat listening to her fervid elo-
quence, has taken place in this colony too; and
here in Geelong, learned ministers and municipal
magDates have been seen among her great au-
diencos. Who and what is she who eau thus over
come mems preiudices, and make them yield for
time their ideas of superior wisdom? She is an
unassuming woman, of quiet and gentle manners,
who only wakes bold and outspoken when she is
proclaiming truths that have divine authority.
She does not claim any influence or authority for
herelf. She only says that it has been put into
her heart by Higher Power to tell forth his mes
sages to men, and she just does it. But the intel
hRent and cultivated man cannot see and hear
this simple message brnger without being sensible
that she is possessed of remarkable gifts. Apart
from the enthusiasm which fills her and her evil
IDENTIFY sincere desire for the spiritual welfare of
those whom she addresses of which it is scarcely
our province to speak in these columns, this fe-
male preacher Is an orator of no mean rank. Her
powers exerted on the dramatic stage would have
made her famous with the play going public. She
has chosen another stage than that, and devotes
her powers of speech to the work of proffting
mems souls instead of pleasing their senses. And
yet ones sen5es pleased by the graceful flow of
imprisoned speech, rendered all the more winsume
by the manifest unselhshness of the work 10 which
this lady is devoting her time and strength.

Irrigation

work on Continental Irrigation by Henry Sing
Roth of Queensland has lately come into our hands
In view of the advocacy of the cooperative system
which has been made in these columns we publish
the following extracts from his summing up. Mr..
Roth says
]. That all land is fitted for irrigation if attain
able by irrigation works-the position of the land
itself being secondary consideration. Mountain
slopes, billy spurs, valleys all alike brought
into cultivation as soon water is obtainable to
irrigate them at times, soil is transported to
elevated and barren localities where water having
been brought by canals, has become available.
Hence irrigation extends the area under cultiva-
ton and increases the produce of the country.
,. That irrigation is more suited to small or
peasant propretorships than to large holdings
than to holdings of 100 acres. The reason for this
IS that the irrigation of land requires care atten
ton, and scrupulous cleanliness, which while
they repay manifold, are nevertheless Of too min
ute and important character to be left in the
hands of q paid labourer. 1t requires the imme-
diate supervision and direct work of the proprie-
tor himself, who alone is sufficiently stimulated
by the return he receives. II is all very well to
say that it must be despicable man who work
ing by the side of his master allows that master
TO work harder than he himself does, yet it is e1-
pecting too much from any ordinary man that
he should care, seeing he is not impeled by the
same hope of propOrtionate reward
.. That any man who understands anything of
agriculture even in its rudest form is capable of
laying out the lower systems of meadow irrigation
4. That the size of the fields 10 be irrigated
depends on the confguration of the land, even
with the higher system of irrigation even on
plain the natural uneyenness of the surface is
general, hence the size of the fields is in so far
limited. Perhaps, however, were the proprietor
ship of the land not so excessively subdiyded the
fields would in many cases be very much greater;
notwithstanding this the greater part of the fields
are large enough to admit of bullock labour.
.; That irrigation forms a payable investment,
both to the capitalist who invests his money in the
irrigation works, and to the landed proprietor
who avaIls himself of the water. and who would
otherwise have crops at least TO speak of

readers TO Mr.. Roth's Book

Leprosy--Historical.

1t has been common belief that lepFosy was
introduced into Europe after the LIST crusade or
sometime during the 10Th century. a writer in the
Nineteenth Century quotes a number of early re-
cords to prove the early prevalence Of leprosy in
Europe. The writer says:
The laws of the great Welsh king. Howell the
Good, decreed in 92s that if a woman left her hus-
band on account of his being leper, she was en-
titled to the full restitution and sole possession Of
all her goods.
But earlier than this, in 757, Pepin, King of
France, by an edict promulgated at the council he
convened at Compiegne, ruled that leprosy in eth
er husband or wife might with the consent of the
leprous consort be regarded a sufficient ground
of divorce, and that the husband or wife not af-
fected could thereupon contract fresh marriage
And, earlier still than the eighth century, we
have historic proof that leprosy was common in
Europe. Rotharis, the great Lombard legislator,
passed law in 643 depriving anyone in his king
dom known to the judges and people to be affected
with leprosy-and therefore expelled from the
city-of all right of disposition over his property.
Moreover, in so the Council of Orleans special
~ imposed the care of lepers upon the bishops Of
the Gallo Church, directing that none should be
left destitute in their respective doceses; but that
they should be provided with all necessary food
and clothing from the funds of the Church, in
order that, the decree-with q tenderness in
strange contrast to the manners of those rude
hmes-continues, They shall not lack pitying
care who through so dire an infrmity lack ali.
The third Council of Lyons in $50 laid similar
injunction on the Episcopate regarding the lepers
either born or dwelling within their jurisdiction;
ana 1t further enioined that epers we're 70 be for
hidden to wander through other cities thnn their
own.

Tho MORNING Star

The Bath, Me-, Daily Times, of recent date,
publishes the following:
"a telegram from New York says;-Some DAYS
since Supervising Inspector of Steam Vessels g,
H. Starbuck of this city received telegram from
the steamboat inspectors of Boston asking If a
certain described make of boilers, designed for
use on sea-going vessels, came under the law. He
replied; No. 1t now appears that the boiler mem
toned above was on the new missionary vessel,
the MorHiNg Star, now lying loaded and ready for
sea at Boston. and, aPon receipt of word from In
spector Starbuck the local inspector at Boston re-
fused to pass the boiler. Capt. Bray of the YES
sci, accompanied by several good people from
your town, came here, and, after wrestling with
Inspector Starbuck, succeeded in getting him to
write an orders to the local inspectors at Boston,
directing them TO inspect the boiler and grant a
" conditional" certificate, which would allow her
to proceed on her voyage The reason Inspector
Starback gives for overriding the law (which is
very plain as to the type Of boilers to be used on
sea going steamers) is curious one and is un-
doubtediy the first of the kind ever made by an
officer charged with the Interpretation of the laws
Of the country. He admits that the boiler is con-
st1ucted against the law, but says that inasmuch
as one steamer has been inspected and passed
with the same kind of a boiler, this one may also
be allowed to depart. He fails to mention. how
ever, that the steamer whose case forms prece-
dent was inspected in his own district
To which the Nautical Gazette of November 9Th
SAYS: The above hardly needs word of COM
ment, except to say that this is a fair sample of
legal % illegal rulings of Supervising Inspectors
The Morning Stars boiler is not lawful boiler,
but inasmuch as one steamer has been inspected
and passed. then all hands can legally disregard
the law"
