BARBADOS NE WS.


Since our last Summary the weather has
been very favourable for the reaping opera
tions. We, have had bright sunny days,
accompanied with fine breezes; and, conse-
d~uently. very many estates, especially those
with windmills, have been busy in the
manufacture of sugar. Those which are for
tunate enough to possess steam power are
not SO anxious about setting to IN right earn
est, as, owing to the late rains we have had.
the canes are not fully ripe, and q week or
two more will tend very much to improve
their saccharine properties. So far as 1t has
been in our power to ascertain, the canes
which have already been reaped have gwen
satisfactory returns, considering the time OF
the year and the continuance OF showers.
Many of the estates engaged III reaplng nave,
however, been compelled to use coal tor fuel.
Labor is in good demand, and the jolhty (tor
the laborers) connected with the various steps
of converting cane into sugar, induces q fair
supply. A great deal of repairs to the roads
were made necessary by the late rains, and
the execution OF these has given employ
ment to many laborers; whilst the opera.
lions Of the Barbados Water Supply Compa-
ny have furnished employment to many
more. Provisions are, on the whole, cheap.
Potatoes have slightly decreased in price,
and are now being retaled at the rate OF
q lbs. for 10 cents; yams at 9 lbs. for 10
cents; and eddoes at 10 lbs. for 10 cents.
Guinea corn is plentiful. American food
stuffs continue in good supply.
Owing chiefly to the recent spell of dry
weather, q few cane fires nave lately occur
red. One took place on Thursday last week
at White Cottage, St. George, and burnt
about 1900 holes Of plant canes. Another,
more destructive, occurred at VGWcluSe, St.
Thomas, by which about eight acres of plant
canes were destroyed. Both these fires are
supposed to have been the result of accident,
which in many instances Is owing to culpa-
bic careIessness.
The contributions received by Lady Lees
towards the "Silver Wedding" gift TO their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of
Wales, amounted to 500 9 4, which was
forwarded to England by the last Mail. The
Subscriptions were limited to sums between
81 and H. and only those persons gave who
were freely minded so to do.
The death Of Sir Charles Packer, Knit,
ex-Chief Justice of this Island, took place at
his residence at BattalS, St. George, on
the night Of Tuesday, the 2lst February.
after o very short illness. Sir Charles was
appointed to the office of Chief Justice in
1874, in succession to the late Sir Robert
Bowcher Clarke, and he retired from the
Office in 1885. He was created a Knight in
1879. His remains were inferred at the
Cathedral, at noon, on the 23rd.
AT a sitting of the Court Of Chancery to-
day, DEGREES were ordered for the appraise-
ment and sale Of the following estates:-
Bulkeley, Golden Ridge, and the RMby.

Sir Charles KusseII's amendment as
to the right Of public meeting in Lon

ing the meetings in Trafalgar Square,
should be accorded by the Govern
nnent a separate debate, in which cas-
it would, he thought. be unnecessary
to cucumber the debate on the Adj

subject. Then he asked for official
evidence that ''agrarian crime" had
diminished" in Ireland, and that"the
power of coercivp con~piracies" had
"sensibly abnted." He himself as
cribed The absence OF crime in Ire
land entirely to the self restraint of

not, indeed, as the result Of positive

AsTONISHED THE DEALER.
He did not Comprehend the Multiplicity
of Card Combinations.

1t was post-mortam examination of
four hours at whist. One of the PLAYERS
had been kicking all through the game,
which a misplay of his partner had lost.
You might have known he had the
king said the kicker, trying to pick out
from the pack of cards the suit for the
purpose of illustrating his lesson. The
other man, who is something of a mathema-
tician, thought not much of whist PLAYER,
tried to defend himself
There Is no such thing as knowing who
has any card"
Bosh-of course there is. A suit can
only be dealt in a certain number of ways
How many?"
az don't know how many, but I'll guar
antee to deal every possible way in halt an
hour
And III guarantee that you can't do it
in half a week"
A bet was made and the suit of thir-
teen cards picked up for the kicker to
deal The other two players took out
pencil and paper to keep tally of the deals.
The poor PLAYER in the meantime began.

about half an hour, during which time the
cards. being shufiled between every deal,

Presidential Incomes.

Washington married rich widow and
left an estate worth 100000, but John
Adams was not worth one-sixth of that
sum. Jefferson died so poor that if Con-
gress had not given him 5000 for his
library he would have been bankrupt.
Madison was economical, and yet left but
small estate. Monroe died poor. John
Quincy Adams left $4,000, the result Of
prudence Jackson left large landed
estate. Van Buren, died worth 100000.
Ii is said that during his entire admins
tration he never drew any portion of his
salary, but on leaving took the whole
100000 in lump. Polk left $4,000,
Fillmore was always an economical man,
and added to his wealth by the last mar
riage. Pierce saved $4,000 Buchanan
left 100000, Lincoln S75,000and johnson
$4,000. Grant, Notwithstanding the losses
TO which he was subjected, had hand
some support in the fund provided for
him by his friends, and the sales of his
book enrich the family. Hayes is said to
be in handsome financial condition, and

tigue. No notice being taken Of the in
terruption, he continued Stop minute
and listen to me; all right, we won't count
it in the bet, and I'll double the bet you
won't begin again"
Before you complete the combinations
of that suit of hearts, dealing at the rate
of four deals to minute, it will take you
1857 years, 135 days, allowing that you
never deal in the same order twice"
Impossible, cried the astonished dealer,
dropping the cards upon the table to reach
for the paper of figures.
See for yourself-it works out simple
enough. There are two combinations for
two cards, six for three, twenty-four for
four, l20 for five, and so on up to thirteen,
