ANTIGUA.

The best news which by the pre-.
sent mail will reach people in Eng
and interested in the Colony is the
advent of fine rains. which commenced
to fall last Monday, continuing at in
tervaIs till today, the country districts
which required the moisture most re-
ceiving the lions share. The want of
drinking water was being very seri-
ously felt all over the country, seve.
raj Of the ponds in the windward dis
tricts especially being entirely dry,
the people having to 'rnvel great dis
t"nces for the necessary element.
Even the large ponds TO the east of
the city were nearly exhausted, these
having supplied The wants of inhabi-
tants for miles around. It is satisfac-
tory to learn that both proprietors of
estates and the Board of Health have
been actively engaged in cleaning
out several ponds under their care, so
that it is to be hoped hat when the
heavy rainy season fnirly sets in, the
many receptacles for water will be
found fit to receive the d%ownpour.
The reaping of the crop has been
nearly brought t" !" close, bat owing
to the dry weather several estates have
reserved fields of canes to be cut of

local matters on our space Slackens

Demerara ArgoSy Informs us that Mr..
Eckmnn arrived in the colony early
in June and has since tried an ex-
pertinent in preparing paper stuff
from megass, which, has been per-
fectly successful, and which, sis
destined, says the Argosy, ''to have
an important effect upon the sugar
industry" The experiment was quite
independent of the Eckman-Fry-Es-
peut sugar process, in regard to
which the Argosy of 4th July says:
"lt may interest sugar planters to
learn that next week Mr.. Eckman
will make some experiments in con-
n~ection with the Eckman, Fry Espeut
method of sugar making, respecting
which the lastnamed gentleman has
written extensively in the Jamaica
papers but the efficiency OF which
has not yet been practically tested on
a large scale"
The Argosy gives a long article on
the paper making experiment, which
we hope soon to reprint IN full.
1t seems that the high death rate
among the labOurers at Panama, and
perhaps the fact that a number OF
them were shot during the recent re-
bellion there, make it difficult to OBJ
tain labourers, and the Canal Com
pany is spreading its agencies through
some of the smaller islands with a
view to inducing labourerH to go
under contract 10 the isthmus. The
Dominican of 10th July has All i'm
portam article ON the subject, from
which it appears that the local 90
vernment has offered a reward for
any information that will lead to the
conviction of any person engaging
persons to emigrate from the island
contrary to the provisions of the Iaw
in that respect.
In ST. Lucia there does not seem
to be any law against private emf
gration agencies, since the Voice con-
fines itself to answering the question
whether it is desirable to enter into
the contract in question, and gives
many forcible reasons for not doing

The Martyr Spy.


 Just now, while so much is being written about Captain Nathan Hale, it may interest the young people to know that his lady love was daughter of his fathers second wife and as proof that Hale was lover of the beautiful we read that "she had pair of bright hazel eyes, a fair, fresh complexion, a hand and arm which in her younger days must have been fit subjects for the sculptor" :" And while in Yale college he was betrothed to this lady then living in his native town, whether by letter or when at the house is not known. He had many female core spondents, but the lone of his fancy, a bright, particular star,''' was Alice Adams, who was a widow in the 18th year of her age, having lost her husband, Mr. Elijah Ripley, after married life of twenty-two months and twenty-one days. Nathan and Alice had been engaged previous to her marriage with MT. Ripley, but friends had broken up the match because Nathan's father and Aice's mother were married and Sarah, sister of Alice, had no doubt the lovers thought, for after Alice became 6 widow they were again betrothed, but after Hale's death she married William Lawrence of Hartford As to Hale's person. al appearance, ''he was five feet, ten inches in height and exceeding we'll proportioned, his figure was elegant and commanding, he had broad chest, full face, light blue eyes and rosy complexion, hair of medium brown /" just the right mate for the hazel-eyed Alice, whose last intelligible words when dying at the age of SS were, "Write to Nathan"

Rlack Bas. Nex Enrland.

It is comparatively few years since black bass were received strangers into the hos pitable bosoms of very many of our New Englank lakes-lakes at that time swarming with other members of the fnny family from the pickerel with jaws like steel trap to that imp of darkness and mud the catfish Time soon evolved the fact that these friend ly lakes had ''caught tartar" in their new protege. It was discovered that the bass grew and fourished by feasting, in direct violation of all known rules of hospitality, upon their neighbors, the older inhabitants, until to-day in the lakes where bass are nu- merous there are hardly enough representa- tives of other fshy tribes to perpetuate their family names. Even the pickerel with his saw-like teeth is no match for the barbarous invader. The back fin of the bass is at once his protection and 8 weapon of ter rible execution. With this erect he shoots beneath his foe or prey and tears out his vitals. have seen ten-pound pickerel come to the surface with his body cut nearly one-third through by the back fin of bass The catfish are almost the only fish which do not minister to his voracious and insatiate appetite-either because the bass have too great respect for their satanic appearance or more likely because the horns of tho catfish would render swallowing him at least an uncomfortable process even for a bass. There is only one redeeming quality in favor of the bass-aside from his table qualities-and that is his ferocious nature When deluded into taking fly or bait he is the most gamey of fresh water fish, except ing the aristocratic trout, and presents the most tempting prey for the sportsman. A successful battle with even one fve-pound bass makes the fisherman feel repaid for holding rod all day long with nothing but the beauties of nature to entertain him.

Robert mcCleve Again Attacked By
 His Enemies-The Windows Of His
 House Broken and the Door Smashed
 In-The Rioters Escape.
 It will be recollected that on last Friday night some young men living in the vicinity of Lighthouse Point and the Cove made an attack on Robert J. McCleve at his house near the Cove and pelted him with green to- matoes to show their indignation at the treat ment of McCleve toward his wife, which they alleged was not such as @ faithful husband should show toward one he had promised to love, honor and cherish. Since that time the wrath of the young people 1n that vicinity has rather increased than decreased, and feathers have been openly made. Nc Cleve had also received anonymous threatening communications. It would have been the part of prudence on his part to have at least guarded against such threats by providing himself with the means to pro tect the property and person of himself and mother, but this he seems not to have done. Last evening between half-past nine and ten o'clock party of men ten or twelve in num- Der silently approached McCleve's house provided with armsful of stones, tomatoes and eggs They surrounded the house and at a given signal the stones were hurled against McCleve's dwelling, breaking nearly every window, smashing 1n the door ana causing him and his mother to run from the house and seek shelter in an outbuiIdfng from the shower of stones. It was the work of but g few moments and after their vengeance was satiated they quickly left the premises and, jumping into wagon that they had left near the Cove cottages, drove rapidly away.
 Word was sent to the police office from the Forbes House by telephone shortly before 10 o'clock that riot was in progress and Lieutenant Wrinn at once dispatched the police wagon with detachment of four men from the precinct station. On their arrival at the scene of the riot it was found that the rioters had dispersed. McCleve is positive that he knows some of the parties and prob ably warrants will be issued for their arrest to-day.
