BARBADOS NEWS.

The weather for the past fortnight has
been of a very tantalising character for the
planters. The sugar made up to the pre-
sent time has been ~diminutivply far out of
proportion to the quantity which has to be
made, and planters are anxious to push on
their reaping operations. With respect to
the wind mills, and these, unfortunately,
are by far in the majority, the winds last
week were rather slow; but this week the
old saying, that March comes III like a
lamb and goes out like a roaring lion, has
been made true. Owing, however, to the
quantity of water yet in The canes, the
great difficulty on ali estates IS the Want OF
fuel and, unfortunately, the wealth r has
been 80 showery as to seriously Interfere
with the drying OF InegaSS. Consequently
those merchants whO are the tortulaGe
holders of GOALS are finding II ready mtrkeC
for this commodity. But this, OF course
means increased cost in The manufacture
of the staple product, which the present
prices to he obtained for 1t canuoi Stt"ly
bear. The canes which are being rBapet
are certainly very fine i'll the t'ld', 0u'
the yield in the bOiling-h0uSes Is poor in
comparison SO that, although the present
crop is to the eye equally aS gO0d aS the
last, there seems to be good gr0untS tor
the representations made at present, ChlC
it is scarcely likely to reach the large fig
ure which represented the last crop. Of
course, this is unfortunate; but, to use
q cant phrase it is owing to
ceS over which no mortal has ANY control.
A comparison between the quantity of pro
duce shipped to late this year with that
shipped at the corresponding period last
year, will give distant readers an idea OF
the backwardness of the reaping opera
tions of the present crop when compared
with the last the figures beng, l,l43
hhds, Of sugar, and 4,062 puns. Of m0laSSes
this year, against $50 hhds. of sugar,
and 4,393 puns. of mOlaSSeS last year.
The kilograms rave lately Informed uS
that the price of sugar has gone down in
the English Market, and in our local mar
ket the quotations (this week. are, $2.l5
per 100 lbs for sugar, and ID cents per gal
lon and 81 for pnncheon for molaNseS.
What with the BOuntieS of the Continent

States. the poor West Indies are being
ground To death between the upper AM
the neither mill stones. The young cane
crop, we are glad to say presents a very
promising appearance throughout the
whole island, being green and vigorous,
and very "bunchy" for this early time Of
the year. Native provisions are in good
supply and at moderate prices, whilst
American foodstuffs continue cheap AMI
plentiful. Labour is in fair demand, but
in some parts Of the Island the laborers
have ''struck" for higher prices for cutting
canes, because, rs they say, sugar has
gone up in the market. In consequence
OF this, on a few places a slight advance
has been made in the price of that deScrip.
ton of work, but on other estates the
planters have succeeded in keeping prices
down to the old level.-AgriOulturat Re,

of the whole East Coast, In the face of
immense physical difficulties and bitter
party opposition, may Justly be instancPd
as the most valuable service the colony
has received from any one of it's citizens,
at least within the memory Of the present
generation. Only SeCOlid to his strenuous
labOurS on the East Coast were his lAhOurS
on the West Coast towards a Compre-
benSive water scheme TO include the estates
from the Demerara to the ESsequeb0. In
both OF these important undertakings,
fraltght with blessings alike for the rich
who own the can fields, for the labourer
who tills them, for the tillager who would
nave grudged u days free lalour to
further the work, aud for the dweller in
the City who eueitS 10 an extent he does
not fully apprcc iate, Mr.. Russell possesses
q monument to his memory of which those
he has left behind him may well be proud.
They cost him many days OF heavy labOur
Wading through mOraSses that none but
the strong could have crossed, and none but
the most Jealous would have crossed and
many weary houS of advocacy bCth of
speech and pen. He alone, of all the men
in the colony, had the courage and strength
to pursue the work, and to bring it to q
successful issue. A piece Of silver pl Lite,
given tarlily enough, by the persons
directly interested in the Lamaha, was his
sole guerdOn for labOur the value of which
to the richest district Of the colony can
hardly be estimated. Time will not
permit us here to enter into the details of
Mr.. RuSSellS services as u legislator, as
President OF the Royal Agricultural and
Commercial Society, and as the fugle-man
of ugaI-cuIturp,-lhe Sugar King as he
was called. For many years he has been
the recognised head OF his calling in the
colony. He was the owner of five or six
large estates, aud the representative of all
the estates connected with the important
houses of SandbaCh, Parker & Co, and
Booker Brothers & %. His was a busy
life but he was such IL hard worker that
he never seemed pressed for time going
to his room at 10 or II O'Clock at night, he
would be astir ut all early hour the next
morning with a budget Of correspondence
in bis hand, which represented his mid
night lab0urS, and left the day free for his
work OF inspection. Latterly he Genie
to have lost a great deal of his energy,
and the beginning of the change can be
traced to the time of the tragic death of
his bosom friend Mr.. McCalman. His fu.
neral on Thursday afternoon was attended
by His EXCrllency the Governor, his Lord
ship the Bishop, and by "a train of gentle
men Of w and country the length Of
which showed how highly the deceased
c~olOmisl was respected. Few men have
gone to their rest in our days, leaving
such 4 record OF hard valuable work.

a bill providing tor the issue of frac-
tional silver certificates Ii denornina-
lions Of ten, fifteen and twenty Five cents,
was recently passed by the house Of
representatives, and has now gone to the
senate. 1t is OF the utmost importance
to every person who receives remittances
of small sums through the mails, mas
much as, should it become a law, it will
entirely do away with the postage stamp
nuisance and encourage remittances by
providing convenient form thereof
Every interested party should use
every reasonable and honorable means to
secure the passage OF this bill in the
senate, among which may be named the
very large revenue derived by the gov
eminent from the business of publishers
and others who receive large numbers Of
letters daily, and transact nearly, if not
all their business, through the mails,
and the fact that at present there is no
system by which small amounts of money
can be transmitted by mail, except in
postage stamps, which we are obliged to
sell at a discount, or by the postal note,
which costs the public three cents and
insures no immunity from loss, and
which is issued only at money order
offices, which include only a very small
fraction of the postofices of the Union
Cincinnati Artisan.

The News was reading a story lately
in which the author, says man "blushes
like school girl when kissed the first
time This is comparison of doubt
full propriety. A school girl doesn't
keep record Of the first time she is
kissed and there is no way Of finding
out. She makes it point to blush just
as much the last time and each inter-
yening time as she does the first time, in
order to keep up the deception and
make the callow youth believe he is
kissing lips as fresh as new blown rose.
Girls are all adopts at blushing, and
whatsoever is deceived thereby is not
wise. Ainsworth Nebraska } News.

Nye on Base Bali.

I am extremely sorry that Matthew
Arnold did not live to read more of our
American base ball literature. I think
he would have liked us better had he
done SO. In saying that we were vul-
gar people and that the American
humofist was a national misfortune I
think he criticised us hastily, for he was
onty in this country little while and
judged our humor largely by the supply
he read while here and which he brought
with him in his trunk, but if he could
have seen the base ball word painting of
our glorious country he would have
loved us.
If he could have read that Richardson
went out, Irwin to Farrar, that Foster
hit safely and stole second, that Welsh
flew out to Wood and all about Tier
mans scratch hit and Ewing's failure to
sacrifice and Wards miss of a grounder
that went through him, Mr.. Arnold
would have said that he had done us an
injustice.
We do not claim much for our long
line of ancestry, and those who came
over in the Mayfower try to conceal it
as much as possible, but here in this
wild and savage land we are trying to
build up classic style of writing up our
national game that will make the mother
country tired.
I admit that I cannot understand it
all yet, dut am striving to do SO, and I
am willing to work hard.
I sometimes wish that Lord Tennyson
would come here for one summer and
sit with me on a bleaching board, with
bis numerous hair hanging over his top
coat while I explained to him ''that it
looked rather squally for the Giants, for
instance, until Slattery jolted merry
thunder out of the horse hide, tore the
tar out of the willow, smashed the
leather, and then, while the Phillie tum-
blers were pulling dandelon greens be-
You'd the Harlem, the Metropolitan in
fielder Lit out like future punishment
beating tan-bark, accumulated one
Dagger and a three-bagger, Strengthened
himself out Like long wasted jack rab-
bit across the plate and made his royal
red run just as the New York Central
got in with the Ball and the band
played Tommy, Make Room for Your
Auntie."
My ambition is some day to write the
1urid description of base ball game
which will go snorting down the CORR
doris of time, along with Balaklava,
Marco Bozzarls and the stubborn youth
who stood on the burning deck. /
want to write it so it will be bright and
jaunty in style, and yet I would like to
sock little sadness in it, description
that should be rich in coloring, and yet
free from information, a carefully and
professionally prepared gem of literature
that would contain about a column and
nothing else whatever. Bill Nye.
Tender Tenderfoot.
A genuine case of tenderfoot arrived
here last week from Pennsylvania. He
brought his family and household goods
with him, but the snow storm was too
much for him, and without unloading he
shipped back to the rock-ribbed key
stone state. His western visit Of two
days cost him in the neighborhood of
$500. He will doubtless put in the
balance of the summer telling his neigh
bors what a good-for- nothing country
