The Coolies In Jamaica.

The annexed extract from a report by
Mr.. Cork, immigration Agent General,
jamaica, gives us a pleasant glimpse of
the coolie in that island
The East Indian population is estimated
at / ,50O, and many sugar estates in We're,
WostmoreIand, and other parts of the
Island are kept iii cultivation by LabOurers
Of this class. From time to time
the most gratifying instances come to my
notice of the prosperity Of the East Indian
community. There are very few really
poor East Indians, and such as there are,
are generally supported by their relatives
or friends, or by the richer members of the
community, who are always most charita-
BILE. Although coolies pay no inconsider-
able amount Of Poor rates, the benefit they
derive from the rates is inappreciable.
The new industry of rice cultivation, which
thew started in WeStmOreland sOme years
ago, has expanded considerably, and many
large investments nave been made in diff
erent parts of the island Precent years,
the most notable instance being that OF the
purchase of the Dover estate in ST. Mary,
last year, by an East Indian immigrant,
for SO, roo.
There was on the 30th September last
an amount of G16, 458 10 4 in the SAVINGS
Bank at credit nf 703 coOlie depcSitors, 604
of whom were .labourers, 80 did not state
their occupations, while the remaining 81
were shopkeepers, gardeners, mechanics,
tradesmen, &c. Industrious, thrifty and
nersArering, the coolie is q good citizen
and All important addition to the tsvpay.

Farming in America.
practical Farmer.)

WV
A popular topic at the present day is
agricultural depression. Many farmers are
discouraged, prices are low, and competition
Is sharp. The style of living adopted by
farmers, and which seems to them indis.
penSable, is far more expensive than that
of or. fathers, and the machinery required
to carry on successfully a farm of a num-
dre0 acres, now costs so much as to be II
heavy tax on the farmer. G anted, that few
farmers are getting rich, they may still he
doing better and have their funds more
safely invested than they would be likely
to do in any other business. There is to
my mind a bright side to farm life, and l
would much rather write about it than the
gloomy side, and / will devote this paper
to pointing out some of the u~nacknowledg-
ed profits and cOmpenSations of farm life.
Does not the farmer make a mistake when
he fails to count as a Legitimate part OF the
profit of the farm that which it contributes
to the support and comfort of his family ?
1t seems TO me that there is no other way
i'll which an investment of four or five thou.
sand dollars can be made to combine with
perfect safety SO large a return of com
fort, and SO certain support for the fam
lily as by putting it into a farm. Of course
there Cau De acknowledgement on the farm
as we'll as any where else, but with intelli+
gent management and industry, the farmer
can manage to make a good living and to
90 it without that constant struggle and
anxiety which most men of small capital ex-
p~erience in the making of a living.
Not only is the farmers living sure, but
he can always have the best the land fur.

The highest bid was $1,O4O, upset price
being $3.50, and the lowest S145, the upset
price being 300. Five lots were sold for
Isl 0 and over. Five lots were sold for
over 5000. The largest purchaser bought
over $4,000 worth. Some of tile largest
lots were not disposed of but reserved for
the present. The bidding frequently adj
vanced 500 at a time, but when a lot was
put up to which some poor children put
forward a very shadowy and unallowable
claim the meeting showed a kindly feeling
by allowing the lot, a valuable one with
o river frontage, to pass to the children at
the upset. Everything was extremely or

made by the religious bodies in tie island

From Venezuela a complaint comes via
Trinidad that our authorities III the North
west district had Violated international
law by going OF board the Venezuelan
liohtShip stationed at the mouth Of the
Orinoco and ordering the colours to
be hauled down. There is just ground
enough upon which to bring this charge
against us. The vessel in question had
been taken by her captain to within q short
distance of our shOre-line at Amacura, the
captain having some repairs TO effect
which could not be lone in the open water,
when one Of orr officials went on board
and ordered the captain to haul down tho
Venezuelan ag,-which he did. Ii the
captain had refused to obey the Illegal
order and q fight had ensued, the cOnse
uuencCs might have been awkward, for our
side was on the aggressive. The Venezue-
lans sent IL Commission from Bolivar III a
steam launch, to visit the light ship anS
have the flag restored. Could 1t have
been this Commission visiting the lIghtshlp
that led to the news of the invasion and
the "massing' Of our troops on Sunday
morning last week, If so, Venezuela IS
avenged.
The h|aIf-yearly report of the British .
Guiana Bank which we publish to-day i'll

profits for the half year were $50, 722 the
dividend was declared at the rate Of three

a total at the rate Of ten per cent. per an

so as to loayo it with a total credit of
