Two things are specially noted by
strangers and travelling people in ref,
erence to the rehnements, taste and
spirit of any community in this free
country, besides their religion, theil
commerce and their agriculture, and
they are the respect they pay to the
memory of their dead, and the prep
arations they make for the public ed
ucation of the young who are depen-
dent upon the State. Judged by
this standard Grenada would sink be-
low the zero of respect! To chal-
lenge the ~unfavorable criticism of all
travellers, we have a graveyard on the
eastern borders of our town, lying
almost in the track of the rumbling
locomotive, that looks, with its fallen
shafts, broken tablets and sunken
graves as though it had become the
battle ground of evil Genii, to mutt
late, disfigure and destroy every tes-
timonial ola past age to honor the
memory of their beloved dead. There
these monumental contributions of
an old citizenship lay in broad day
light to show the heller SHELTER dep
relations which time and the de-
pravity of the living can commit up
on the silent, harmless sleepers UNI
der ground, and like posted sentinels
they stand at night in thequiet, soft
moonlight to hail every passer-by to
a scene of desolation which reflects
upon our piety for the memory of the
departed. Better remove the monu-
ments, fill up the hollow graves,
smooth the rubbish and let the I'M
checked winds of Heaven sigh out
their solemn requiems to the decay
ing dust that sleeps beneath! An
other of the first things that an en-
curing stranger of intelligence
would ask to see is our public school
and we could point him almost to Il

The window lights are out and bro
ken, in places the roof is leaking,
bricks falling out of the walls, ana
the whole building is presenting ii
scene suitable for a painting of the
ruins of time. Yet, there are seven
ty-six white children who wade
through mud, partly, to reach this
point where the young idea is taught
TO shoot, at the expense of the public.
Is there not enough pride among our
citizens, enough public virtue,
enough respect for the dead and suf-
iicient interest in the living youth OF
our town to do something TO improve
both places? Trustees, Board of AL
dermen, citizens, speak out and let
US know if these are among'the quot
ed evidences of our pride and pro-
gress. y

acquaintance with Mr.. James, but
his success IN winning the hand ana

been confded to his keeping. Aftel
