The MODgOOse.

Most pleasant and instructive reading is
the article on the "MOng0Ose' in the VIC
toria Quarterly, by Mr.. A, s. Roberts,
The Eve pages occupied by the text the
reader will find are all too short, and he
comes to the end of them through a sparkle
of scientific, literary and economic gossip
before he can ealiZe having got past the
first one. The MOngOOse has lew trends,

Our Legislative Report has crowded ont

cusSe d, is, however, of such great import
ance, that we think our readers Will be
better pleased that we have not Curtailed
the report. The improvement of our har-
bour has been for many years the peoples
wish, and while q few are honestly opposed
to it, and think we are mourning an
unnecessary burthen on our funds, and
that all the benefits which we hope and
look for will not come as the result of this
enterprise, the majority are sanguine of its
success. We declare ourselves as of the
latter class and we prOphesy that genera
tons vet unborn will thank US and honour
our memories for the good which will fol-
low in connection with trade and industry
in Antigua, which will be traceable to this
large undertaking alone.
The arguments in opposition 10 the
scheme strike US az weak and puerilrs
and going no way to answer those IN its
favour.
We trust the Government will still
further show their desire to conform to
public opinion and wishes, by taking all
necessary steps to guArd against our hav-

No daily newspaper reporter needs TO use
ahorthand once year. He does not need
q classical style" He wants to write in
plain, everyday English, telling his story
in plain way. Each man gets style
peculiarly his own. Verbosity is abhorred.
The watchword is, "eut it short" He must
tell his story in the fewest words possible,
and any extra hourishes are sure to be cut
off before the copy goes to the printers. A
good reporter is alert for news; be is on the
20: he makes friends where friends are
needed; be Is ready for double duty II oc-
casion demands. He Is careful of his facts
and his memory is good.
That's what there Is In it, and all there
is to It. The hours are long and the work
is hard, but there is a strange fascination
about II which can be found in no other
profession A good reporter Is sure of a
good salary-from s90 ~ $50 per week--and
employment rs long as be can endure the

spirit. Christ offers you robe today. He

SUPREME COURT.
Sentence OF Stebblns for Gross
Cheat.

ShCoss
Mr.. Justice McCully in sentencing
II. G. Stebbins on his plea of guilty
to gross cheat, yesterday afternoon,
referred to defendants statement
that he had been in respectable en-
ployment in the States, as CON-
mercial traveller and q bank clerk;
that he had been going round the
saloons here, and would not have
done what he had if he had been in
his right senses; that it was first
brought to his knowledge when he
was arrested; that he was willing to
do anything to redeem himself, and
had firmly made up his mind not to
touch another drop of liquor.
His Honor, on reflection and con-
sideration, had concluded to give
defendant an opportunity to retrieve
his character, and would make the
penalty fine, not Imprisonment,
taking largely into consideration the
fact that the man who accepted and
cashed the check was almost par
ticeps criminis with the defendant,
as he might have seen defendant
was in no fit condition to make q
check, that it was such check rs
one would not be likely to draw,
and that another indictment was
pending against defendant for for
gerry. The sentence of the Court
was that defendant be fined $50
without costs.
Mr.. Justice McCully again presid-
ed ut term tins morning. In the
submitted case of All Hoy vs.. Police
Captain Larsen, foreign jury, by
instruction of the Court, rendered u
verdict for the defendant. Magoon
for plaintiff; Deputy Attorney-Gen-
eral Peterson for defendant.

chambers, it was ordered that let

been chartered, but arrangements
are under way to that end. 1t will
probably be called the Eva Planta-

be $500, 900 in 5000 shares at 500.
From $4,000 to 500, 900 of the
stock will be reserved for small in
