concerning a discovery created a feeling
of great interest throughout the country
and numberleSs suggestions were made
as to its nature. There seems to be a gen
eral opinion that it consists literally OF a
g0ld-mine. There iS no reason to doubt
that the precious metal is to be found in
various parts of the island, and it is natu-
raj that the thoughts of the public should
turn in that direction; but, while, for my
part, / prefer to await the development
of events, | think the Cleaner on WedneS-
day gave the true clue of Sir Henry's
mystery IN the clever a~crostic which it
published that morning, by one who is
evidently IN tile storet. "EmeraldS and
rabies" the ~acrOstic read, and if this is
the true Interpretation of the mystery it
will he tound that the extreme West end
of the island, now 80 neglected, will soon
acquire an Importance far greater than the
East ever possessed. Nous verrOns.-Ibid.

SHORTHAND AT TIE JAMAICA
INSTITUTE.
From the Cleaner, April co.,

The teaching Of some form of shorthand
writing has for many years been attended to
in a few schools in different parts of England.
But the demand among the commercial and pro-
fessional classes for assistants who are skilled
In it has 80 steadily increased that the English
Committee of Council on education have now
placed shorthand among the school subjects
If q teacher in any part of England thoroughly
teaches an approved system and his pupils
pass an examination in the subject. he is paid
for this as for arithmetic or any other subject.
The education department is thus only follow
ing and trying to supply a demand. In thou
sands of Offices the shorthand writer is as
essential as the ink bottle. The head of the
Office after opening and reading his letters
calls his shorthand clerk, dictates to him ran.
idly the replies he wishes to give, and these
come back to him an hour or two after to he
duly signed and dispatched. Meanwhile he
has been busy with the work of the Office. In
large offices this goes on extensively, and the
advantages OF it are 80 great that the practice
rapidly spreads. Many employers of Iabour
can themselves give their directions in short
hand. Literary mon, ~olergymen, medical men
and many persons of all classes have practical.
~ learned the usefulness of shorthand. 80 that
the demand for persons skilled in this form of
writing steadily increases. Now that the
Governors of the Jamaica institute have taken
the subject up, it is to be hoped that the heads
OF public departments, the principals in our
large commercial establishments. and a4bar.
who have influence with our yoynn mon viii
encourage a large number of them to add 49,
accomplishment of shorthand WRITING to +ba;p
means of advancement. The dlv Will oom,
here as in England, when it will BIZ a sobooi

much pleased with Belize, it being a pretty,
clean, and thriving place, and the people kindly
disposed and amiable. He and his family were
accorded a hearty welcome, and we add our
hope that he may be long spared to them to

BIDS for the construction of the
governments Exposition building
nave been opened in Washington for
the second time. It was found that
there were twenty-six bidders alto
gether. Contracts for the construc-
ton of the building have been let to
four firms-three in Chicago and one
in lndianapolis-for different parts of
the work. The aggregate amount
OF these contracts is $3l6,757, which,
IS less by $4,000 than any single

batch OF bids was rejected because
none of them was within ths availa.

notifications in the plans were made
and bids again called with the above
result. The erection of the building
will begin at once.
1t is not thought probable, now,
that there will be any tower at the
Worlds Fair. The projectors of the
most promising tower scheme aban-
doned it when they found that they
would have to take down their tower
when the exposition closed, because
the Park Commissioners refused to
grant any subsequent use of site.
The lumbermen of the Puget Sound
region were called to meet at Taco
ma on October 6, to consider the
question of furnishing material for
the Washington state building at
Chicago, and to plan for an extensive
and complete lumber exhibit. The
executive committee of the Wash
lngton Worlds Fair Commission was
called to meet at the same time.
The Hidalgo and Northwestern
Railroad Company, which is the
principal transportation agency in
northern and northwestern Mexico,
has notified the Exposition officials
that it will make no freight charges
on articles sent to the Exposition at
Chicago.
There will be not less than 25 res.
