cnactnents contained in this draft and not
contained d ia the ordinance of st. Thomas, for
instance in regard to the Question of com
pnlsory fencing i'll s 3. The principle Of
the Draft was otherwise sound.
1st Member for Frederiksred's Country
District Birch was of the opinion that it
was but fair that the lands in question be
enclosed, as it would not be attended with
much outlay on the part of the squatterS
and would Furthermore be to their own
interest. Stones were plentiful, and with
very little labour a wall could easily be
raised. He would therefore beg to recon.
mend the Draft. Concerning the steel
barbfencing, 3 strands of the wire were
quite sufficient, and alta height Of fleet from
the ground, would effectively prevent the
inroad of cattle. He thought the cause of
trcspaSS was to be found in the flct that
too few persons are put to mind the cattle.
2nd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (Broacn) begged to disagree with
the honour able last Speaker and conceded
fully with the views expressed Ivy His
Excellency. 1t would in his opinion be d
fragrant act of injustice to compel the
Squatters and small land holders to use the
legal fencing.

o. where is my little Lily ]

O, where is my little Liiys
 My lost love, where is she will never a God and never a man in the universe answer met In the blossom-years of my sweet, slain youth. on a morning hour like this, I pressed on her red, up;eaching lips pas siorafe farewell kiss; Then watched her ship go sailing afar out over the goldenr rim, While a lark scared up from it's low, green nest with glad thanksgiving hymn; And the scent of the oieAndeT flowers vas sweet on the summer afr, And a serpent slid through the tangled grass, and hissed at the glory 'heIe.
 O, where is my little Lily
 My lost love, where is she Is she dead in the sunlaad far away that she answereth not 70 mel Does she sing on the high hill crests of Christ and los, in rapture there, Has she forgotten the VOWS she spake on the beautiful cliffs of Clare, When secret influence seemed to blend her soul and my soul in enc, While we melted away in the ardent bliss of blossom and song and suni Does she clank the letters of hell to day, and lost in a last despair Has she forgotten our bridal-kiss on the beautiful cliffs of Clare Or, does she sleep an amending sleep where the jessamine flowers wave, And draw their color and flash and scent from her dead heart in the grave Speak not, speak not of the bleeding Christ upon that cruelest treel Speak not of His infinite love for man, of His infinite love for me! He has torn the heart from my bosom, He has tranpl d it under feet, He has taken cut of my life the life and the love that made it sweet; Then why should 1 thrill with rapt delight when the ssle of His love is told; Or why should weep that the Roman spears were red with His blood of old Why did He fashion me as He did-a being of flesh and fire. And dover me with the flower of love, and the flame of sweet desire And dover me with the flower of love to lay on dead girls breast, And the flame of a sweet desire 10 burn o er the shrine where she lies at rest!

EvsIT .SsA!s.a and boarding house keeper today in New Orleans is a monopolist-that is, he sees chance to make corner in lodging room, and so puts his price up to the highest pitch. No doubt the most of these landlords are ostensibly anti-mo- nopolists, and think it a shame to take advantage of peoples extremity, but all the same they keep an eye on the main chance. New Orleans is not mentioned in any invidious sense, but only because just at present it has great influx of vis- itors. It is so in every similar case. It was so at the centennial at Philadelphia, and at C, cry great gathering when there was opportunity to squect..

If this be not grinding monopoly, what is iii In this monopoly question the whole matter depends on whether your OK is gored or mine.
 Then the professional anti-monopolist makes the worst of monopolists when he gets a chance, just as the laborei on the streets or the artisan in the shop who howls the loudest against the bosses makes the most tyrannical boss" when he gets promoted a step.
 Humbus! all humbug! Granted there are abuses, let us seek to redress them, but do not allow ourselves to be cajoled by hieh-sounding words. The greases, monopolists of our day are men who started life in the poorest circumstances, and who by economy, self-denial, indus try. and indomitable force of character have reached their present positions, and only envy. malice, or crankiness would deny them the right to hold such posi- tions.
