Governor AIcEnery has not been

more honorable position in the State
than that of Supreme Judge. To
lose an Office with salary of $1,000
and get one with salary of 5000
per year is no reduction. Then the
labor and varied responsibilities are
not half SO great. The Governors

they perfectly understood that the Jews
were bent on going to Palestine, did not
resist their colonization there until
they learned that TIRE Jews were not

blame in RESISTING the Jewish settler

Turks. on the other hand, having lost
all power since the war of '78 often
require money to carry out their plans;
and, by and by they may become so
poor in financial affairs that they may
be obliged to sell some of their lands to

Navigation OF the st. Lawrence.

IF the seaman of the st. Lawrence
are exceptionally superstitious even in
this superstitious class, they have some
justification in the exceptional dangers
and eccentricities of these waters. The
river Just below the Isle d'Orleans is
eight miles merely the beginning
of the lower st. Lawrence; in the next
$50 miles it gradually attains width of
35 miles at Metis; in another hundred it
becomes about go miles at La Bale des
Sept Isles. AS a matter of fact the
lower st. Lawrence is an estuary rather
than river. presume that the gulf
may be safely recognized at La Bale des
Sept Isles. Tt is triangular sea, about
500 miles long from northeast to south
west, and about $50 miles wide from
Newfoundland to this bay, The region
Of the st. Lawrence has such remarka-
BILE natural features that even the matter
of-fact reports of the Admiralty are not
without interest. The navigation of
these waters presents exceptional diff
culties; the existence of numerous
islands, reefs, bars, and rocks in the
channels; the irregularity Of the tides
and currents, the severity Of the climate
especially toward the close of the nayi-
gable season; and, above all. the FREE
quent fogs; these are difficulties that
may well cause much anxiety, and call
for the exercise Of all the seaman's vigil
anee, prudence, and ability. Besides
the recorded variations and deviations
of the compass, the magnetic attractions
of the shores are said to complicate the
Captains problems. Toe is often a
dangerous element here; In the spring
May in this latitude and often June
also-the entrance and the eastern parts
of the gulf are frequently covered with
drift Ice that hesets vessels for many
days; icebergs are common there during
the summer, and navigation is closed by
ice, as q rule, from November 25th to
| May LIST.
Such is the nature Of the river that
ships often spend more time In sailing
up the st, Lawrence than in crossing
| the Atlantic; generally they require
eight or nine days to beat up to Quebec
from Bic, 14O miles; they can sail only
during the food, five hours, and then
must anchor, unless the wind changes.
The 0lumsy ooasting sohooners, requir-
ing always fairwind, sometimes spend a
month In going sixty on eighty miles,
With SO many dangers as I have set
| forth, the reader might think that the
st. Lawrence is not nayigable; but
thanks to an efficient system OF lighting
and plotting, these waters are one OF the
| great commercial arteries Of the oontIn-
