In the Southern Pacific is a little
island with a few surrounding lslets, |
which, if all accounts he true, comes as |
near to Moores "Utopia' or Bacon's |
'New Atlantis as any place on earth
Norfolk Island comprises ABOUT 8, GOO
acres of land in all, which are mainly
divided up iato farms Of fifty acres
each, and every ncwly-married couple
GETS one of these farms as a wedding
dowry. According to the report of our
! Consul, the government of the island by
powers granted by her majesty IS homo
rule, pure and simple, and is vested IN
three oflicialg-a chief magistrate and
two councillors-who arc elected an
nuaIly by the people, the chief masl'-
trato being res ponslblc, and the medium
of communication with the higher o1h-
ciaIs. The three magistrates act under
commissions bearing the great seal OF
the colony, issued by the governor OF
New South Wales, who himself holds
separate authority as governor OF Nor
folk Island. Tho governor has, in fact,
unlimited power, but holds q mild sway,
allowing the islanders to do much as
they like so long as they do not 60 too
far The laws are few and primitive
and could be printed on two sheets OF
foolscap; nevertheless, they answer the
purpose well, there being no crime to
speak of nor any lookup or need OF one,
, There is no revenue, except few walfs
and strays in the shape of small fines,
Sc, which seldom amount to much,
; but is responsible for the signal master
r salary of 81 50 per annum, bcsi1es

i istrate's salary is $125, but up to last

! oluments paid to the colonial surgeon,

Weather Wisdom.
none rich

The curious in such matters may al
ways find whcrewithal to amu3e them
selves in watching the instinct shown IN
the every day proceedings of the birds
and animals around US, as they provide
against impending changes in tho
weather. 1t is proverbial that pigs see
the wind. These creatures become rest
less, and prepare their beds of straw
before a severe storm, some hours earlier
than human organs are aware of its ap-
proach.
A careful observer, the author of
"Wild Sports of the Highlands" says
that ducks 90 out to the grass-felds to
search for the snails which they know
will be found before the coming shower.
The field mouse covers up her hole in
due timo before the setting in OF cold
weather
Fish have the strongest instinct with
regard to the changes Of the weather,
refusing obstinatoly to rise at the most
temntino bats or flies when clouds
| charged with thunder or ram arc pass
ING through the air. Indeed, most
birds and animals have singular fore
knowledge Of changes, shifting their
quarters according as the coming rala
or the dryness Of the atmosphere warns
them.
The grouse forotelI the approaching
rains before the most weatherwlse shep-
herd can do 50, by bctakilg themselves
to the dry heights, where they SIT or
walk about with erect heads and necks,
in a manner quite different from their
usual gait. So do the mountain sheep
change their feoding-cround to the LEI
side OF the hills before severe blasts o
: wind and rain.
I, "Warnins of an approaching chang
} in the weather may often be taken from
2 the proceedings of wild fowl on tn

c irds betakc Themselves to those spot
e which viii afford them the best shcIte

Some day, Some day! the weary cry
OF souls too sadly worn to live
Save in the hope that time may give
Some richer blessing, by and by
And mournful is that hopeful sigh
Some day.
Some dav-Some day! The heart once lighV
Has learned too well that Syren song:

The good Upheld the wrong set right
The lust shall see; twill end-the fight

SCOTLAND NECK n G. THURSDAY OCTOBER Il. 1888

next day a party of men went down to
the creek to see the scene Of the strug-
gle. Over ten big gators were iouad
dead in the creek, while in the centre
several clean picked bones showed that
bear meat was a relish TO a.ligator'.
The girls make light Of their thrilling
experience, but admit that they would
not care to have many such Consider
ing the partiality the gators evidently
had for dog meat, and the c.umsiness OF
log dugout, it is q wonder that the
girls escaped. t.

English Sentiment ON the sackViIIe In
cident.

Lord Randolph Churchill made speech
at Paddington, Eng, last Saturday which
was of special interest TO Americans. tie
expressed the hope that the post of minis
ter to Washington would soon be filled. He
said there was no doubt that Lord Sack
vile had been primarily indiscreet and had
made an inexcusable blunder. No fault
could be found with the action of the
United States government toward the min
ister. The American people were essential
" Just and proud in their relations with
other countries. He deprecated the insult
ing and menacing articles which had ap
peared in the English press since Lord
Sackville's dismissal, and said that Eng
land ought to inform the Americans that
thev cherish no i'll feeling toward them.
lCheers Lord Randolph attached the
greatest importance to the maintenance by
England of an imperturbable and friendly
attitude toward the United States. He re-
garded the attitude taken by Mr.. Cleve-
