CANADA AND THE WEST INDIES.
from the Barbados Tarpayer)

Captain CroweIl and Mr.. Black, two
Canadian gentlemen who are on Il tour
through the West Indies for the purpose Of
making trade arrangements with these
islands and Canada; arrived here last week
and had an interview with his Excellency
the Governor. The gentlemen propose TO
run a line of steamships through The West
Indies, and will include the Windward
Islands in their route, They will have q
fixed aud regular itinerary, and their ships
will be fitted up with retriSerators, etc,
for the fruit trade. The subsidy that these
gentlemen ask from the three Islands ofthe
group is four thousand dollars per annum
a very small sum when it is considered that
their steamships will be the means of open
ing up a lucrative trade with q young and
growing country. Canada will not only
take our fruit, but will take large quantities
of cocoa on which there is no duty. In
their northern climate, cocoa must play an
important part in the table economy Of the
Canadians, and q new market for our staple
would mean increased profits for our pro-
ducers. It is to be hoped that the Govern
ment will favourably entertain the proposals
of thetwo gentlemen, and that in a short
, time trade with Canada and the Windward
Islands will be al accomplished fact

(St. Christopher Advertiser 20 Jan. J

It is said that a bIunder is worse than a
crime, and the criminal discomfort which
now prevails in Anguilla is clearly the out
come of the Governments laundering in
the matter of storing provisions in the face
ola starving people. Our readers are al
ready aware that four hundred barrels of
foodstuffs were ordered by the Governor
and landed at Anguilla; but although
these fOOdstuffs were intended for the re-
lief of the famine striken the Governor
omitted to instruct the local authority in
respect to the dispensing Of that relief.
The provisions were therefore stored by
Mr.. Magistrate Baynes, in the absence of
official instructions; ard the
10 that a criminal attempt to blow up the
Magistrates residence with dynamite was
made-but happily the diabolical plot was
discovered. Inspector Thorn and a detach-
ment of twelve men OF the Police Force of
this island embarked for AngEilla last
Tuesday afternoon, and we must hope that
the Inspector will be successful in discov-
ering a clue that will lead to the conviction
Of the evil-disposed persons. Since the
foregoing remarks AVE been written the
Inspector and six Policemen returned.

Length of whales.

Most of the stories we hear about
whales OF 200, 800 and 400 feet in length
are the imaginary musings of persons who
have more respect for the size of a story
than for the truth it may contain. Mr..
Scoresby. a very high authority on this
subject, declares that the common whale
seldom exceeds seventy feet in length and
is more frequently under sixty. Ont of
362 whales which he personally assisted
in capturing not one exceeded fifty-eignt
feet in length, and the largest he ever
heard of being captured and measured by
persons who could be relied upon only
measured seYenty-seven feet. OF the
razor-backed whale he has seen specimens
that measured l05 feet. Onr of these was
found dead in Davis straits which meas
ured 10l feet, and skeleton of one was
found in Columbia river was 1l2 feet.
Other specimens have measured all the
way from so to 100 feet. One cast on
shore at North Berwick, Scotland, and
preserved by DR.. Knox, was eighty-three
feet in length

Three Men Who Didn't Give Up Until Long
After the War.
According to . story In Albert Lawson
"WEr Anecdotes" the last confederate did
not surrender until fifteen months after
Appomatox. The story. Is that on tho
morning Of the 4th OF July, 1866, the sec.
rotary OF war, who had planned a
fishing excursion to the falls of the
Potomac, received a telegram from
the provost marshal at Richmond, saying
that squad of confederate soldiers were
at his office ready TO deliver up their
arms and be amnestied. Knowing that
joking of that sort would subject the per-
petrator to court-martial, the secretary
fastened TO the white house TO consult
with President Johnson. The result was
a telegram 10 the provost marshal:
"Who are they and where did they
come from ?'
Answer was prompt and TO the point
Sergeant Tewsbury and guard from
Dismal Swamp. Did not know the war
was over"
After q good deal of laughter the provost
marshal was ordered to receive their capt.
tulation, which was conducted in due
form. Tewsbury, an old Virginian,
ordered his squad, couple OF GeOrgians,
TO give up their guns and sign the papers,
Teserving himself as the last man OF all the
Confederate forces to surrender. The old
sergeant's description OF the way he found
out the war was over was amusing.
He and his companions had been post
ed on the edge of the swamp to watch the
movements of the Union troops from Nor
folk, with orders to remain until relieved
lie was never relieved, and subsisted on
game and fish for three years. At last he
met an old negro who told him the war
had been over for about year, which
"tickled him better than if he had been
kicked by mule" as he expressed it.

PRISONERS OF A LION.
Children Placed for Hours In an UnpIeas-
ant Predicament.


whispered TO the other children TO lie
still, because we had no place to hide in,
nor was it any use to climb tree, for the
California lion will climb like cat. 1t
grew very light, near sunrise, before he
took any notice OF us, where we sat under
the OK cart. As soon as he saw us he
walked up very close with curious Won
dering expression of his face, and went all
about the cart, looking US over and max
ing purring sound.
We sat close and had our arms about
one another, but we did not say word.
He then came up so close that | felt his
breath on me, and finally put his nose
against my ankle. had no stockings on,
only homemade shoes, and his nose felt
very strange and made me expect to be
eaten up at once. But / thought ii best to
lay still and not cry out.
After what seemed long time the lion
went back and lay down bv the dead OK,
about 100 feet distant, keeping his eyes on
us most of the time. He sometimes
walked around the OK then he went off q
little way to a spring; then he came back
and walked around the cart. At last he
lay down again by the OK, shut his eyes,
and seemed asleep. The sun was now
high, and we were very hungry and thirsty,
but when we moved a little to rest our
limbs the lion opened his eyes and looked
very bad.
We lay there under the cart all the
morning and until about the middle of
the afternoon, and the lion lay under the
shade of tree, watched us, ate some more
beef and went to the spring as often as he
chose. Then about O'Clock mother and
Jose, the peon, came down from the coast
way and when they were on the ridge
they could look into the canon and see the
whole situation ut glance-the lion, the
dead OK, the cart and the three of us hud-
died together under it. Jose ran forward
and fred two shots, wounding the lion,
but he GOT away in the rocks
