Yet the wiSeacre who writes on this
subject in the European Mail, speaks Of
the Colony being rapidly Alnericanised,
and of our trade being almost entirely
with the United States.
Another sign of increased prosperity is
seen in the shipping returns for the year.
Mr.. Gillard says with the exception OF
both sailing vessels and teamer cleared
in ballast, there had been a considerable
increase in every description of craft re.
ported at the several ports III the. Island
and cleared therefrom, the increase i'll the
total number Of vessels cleared being as
much as 20 per cent OH comparison with
the figures of 1686.87, and the tonnage
has improved by 10 per cent.
The year has also shewn the resumption
of steam COMMUNICATION with Halifax, bv
which there is 10 doubt our trade with the
Dominion will be largely Increased.
Another very satisfactory statement 10
made in Mr.. GillaTd's report with refer
ence to the cost of collection of Revenue.
The percentage of cost of collection dur.
ing the last five years stands rs below
In l883-S4 7.2 per cent.
" 1884.85 68
" 1885 St TO
" 18S7.88 SO
Thus we haye the very pleasant surprise
Of finding IA considerable increased collec.
ton, i. e. a larger revenue, while the cost
Of the Collecting Departments has fallen,
not only il proportion, but in actual
amount, for in 1888 "a, the cost of c1llec.
ton was -e35 ,854, while in 1187-SS, it was
&34, 1873, or nearly Ell, 400 less.
We congratulate the Government on
this evidence of careful administration,
and while dong so, we Offar, on the Occa,
sion Of his departure, the cordial ackn0T-
Judgements Of the people Of jam iica to
Mr.. Richard Gillard for his long and ex-
ceedingly valuable services to the COLONY.
A more conscientious, painStAklng and
thoroughly efficient officer has never been
at The head of our Revenue Department,
and the most hearty thanks are due to
Mr.. Richard Gillard for his efficient al.
ministratiom of his Department, and we
can assure him that he carries with him
into his retirement the deep respect Of the
community and is followed by their sin
cere regrets.
We shall resume our analysis OF the
Revenue returns at an early datc.-GIean-

Thus We see that while our trade with
the United States has slightly retrogra:
ded,, Notwithstanding the large increase;
in the amount of fruit shipped, our trade
with the Mother Country has increased.
As if still further to controvert the
idea that the Colony is almost an Ameri-
can colony, we take q look at the 1n.

Power Of the TsrssIsn Police.

There is no power on earth so arbitrary,
so omnipotent, so omnicisnt and so re-
morseiess as the Russian policeI I shall
have something more to say about them
in future letter, but stop here TO advise
every traveller bound for Russia, of what
ever age, sex or nationality, to take a
passport properly Endorsed by the repre-
sentative OF the Russian government at
New York or Washington. 1t viii do no
harm, and il may be useful to have both, for
the Russian police are of an inQ1iring frame
of mind and lack confidence in human
virtue. With passport properly vised, a
strict obedience TO ell the regulations that
IRE plain and unmistakable, a discreet
tongue and a decent behavior, one can be
as safe and comfortable as in any country
on the globe, and see much and enjoy
much that cannot be seen OF enjoyed else
where. It has few picturesque land
scapes, no mountains and no springs; but
tie people and the palaces, the churches
and the customs, VIII revivify the most
blase traveller, and the gayeties OF both
the summer and winter seasons offer a
treat to those who have exhausted Paris
and other social centers Of the world

Americas pre-Historio Animals.

As time progressed and age succeeded
age tte great WGhsatch lake separated
into twc, the time being represented by
sous Of the most remarkable aud colossal
of mammals. Man was gill as primitive
as ever ald had pr05s by made but little

and living in caves or trees. The animals
that constituted the game &c this tertiary

where the foliage provided abundant food
graZed the loEoloPhOdon, Gr animal Of
elophautire proportions, ermed with fierce
tu3ks, arranged perhaps IN pairs upon its
head, giving it frightfuI appearance.
Among the rocks and brush were animals
resembling our cats, Olives, bats, moles
and squirrels large birds, ostrich, eagles,
snakes end n number of forms prophetic
of those today.
The = ltrican hunter at this time
chased tie elephant, carmel and rhinocerCs,
or their Gu"estors. One, the elotherium,
was hos Ike creature with short legs,
but as rye as an elephant, the head
armed with a pair of extraordinary tUsks
or protruberGnces. The 5iieratherium was
q rhincceros like form, with horns placed
transversely across the mouth. These
strange beasts, owing 20 their weight and
motions, must have offered but little re-
sistance to the agile hunters; yet they were
frequently in great danger, and in turn
probably often fell +. victim to the gigantic
machairci,ls, that was e. tiger with enor-
nous tusGs, like sabers. This monster
could have cut 81 man il two at single

suffering for the sake Of Knowledge.

One evening rev years ago "a schooner
dropped anchor in an unknown bay on the
east coast OF New Guinea. a boat put of
from the vessel landed n man and his
portmanteaC on the beach and put back
again. The schooner 40 once sailed away,
leaving the solitary figure on the beach in
the darkness. No white mon had ever
visited that savage coast before, and no
man inspired by a less lofty purpose
would thus have ventured among the ct
terly unknown savages OF AsuOlabe bay.
The man was DR.. MikluchO Maclay, tho
Russian ethnolcgist, and his burning zeal
to add 20 human knowledge led him, like
many other heroes of science, to foVgego
all comfort and hazard his life When the
natives next morning found the white man
sitting on the bench, they thought the
strange object had dropped from the SKY.
They nearly killed him il their expert
m6pts TO determine whether Re was god.
They imprisoned him in n hut and watched
him day and night. They nearly starved
him, because n god should not require
food. They tied him TO tree and Shot
arrows lose to his head and neck, because,
if he wece god, lie should not be fright
ened. Two OF the arrows inflicted severe
flesh wounds upon the helpless captive.
Then they pressed their spears against his
teeth to make him open his mouth, and in
=
tempe courage ana strength.
ct last they decided that he had
dropped from the moon and that he was
not god, because his wounds bled and
lie needed food, but they voted him a
gOOC fellow aEG grew daily more and more
fond OF him, because he was ALWAYS cheer
ful, however much they annoyed him, and
many of their sick soon recovered under
his skillful care. For two years Or.
Maclay lived eTnong these saveges, feeling
amply repaid Cor all bis terrible sacrifices
by the wealth OF scientific facts he was
able 20 collect Money could not have

The Catholic fair cah be put down as decided success in every partic- ular. The display of fancy work and its arrangement at the Wood Hall was complete. It is but just to make special mention of Mrs. Dr. Brannen's oil painting, which repre- sented Welch scenery. It was pro nouneed by all present the most beautiful piece of work on exhibi- tion, and Mrs. Brannen can justly feel proud of her work. The most exciting contert was for the gold headed cane and the race narrowed down to Dr. Brannen and F. E. Nelson, of Williams, the latter gen. tleman being the successful candi- date. The generous friends of Mr. Nelson would not let money stand in the way in the least, so he walk ed of the possessor of the cane.
