experiments conducted in Antigua, touched
upon. This matter was, however, yetunder con-
sideration and the subject of critical research.
This as far as my memory serves is an out
line Of the subject lectured upon, and |
believe the majority of the audience may
fairly be called appreciative. Some gentle
men present connected with the planting
interest, on invitation to do so, asked several
pertinent questions respecting drainage and
and manures, and it seems to me that the
answers given them by Mr.. Watts must lead
to the thought of how desirable a thing it
would be to have in this island a consulting
scientist of his kind. AS I remark above,
many were evidently highly pleased and in
terested, but of course [ need not add there
were those too who refused to believe they
could be taught anything about how to grow
canes"

being not "a man Of few words spite of what
he makes me to believe he is.

sounded to him like the wreck of his

gone, and the thieves and burglars
with it. a son of Mr.. Hale came

double barreled shot gun aud fellow

of them when he fired. He does not
know whether he hit any OF the part

bonds, etc, Sunday, on his farm
north OF his house, and over hun
dred dollars was left behind. Mr..
Hale's loss is from $1,000 to 800.

Col () Elliott e. Shepard, who, by
reason of being Il son-in.l law of Van
derbilt, owns newspaper, the Mail
and Express, has heard of tho death
of tho Force bill and is thus effected :
'sIf gallant Ben Harrison wants
100000 men to end up the now
Southeastern rebellion und enforce
the Constitution and laws Of the
United States he can have them in
thirty days. The war-whip is crack
ed again in the United States Senate
and i'll the rebel legislatures and
blood is in the air. Let the North,
East and West begin the war this
time and it will be short, and 7,GOO,-
00C of our fellow citizens will be
truly enfrancbised aud afforded the
means of self protection. Let us
strike before the Southeast can be
organized militarily. She is moving
to that organization with rapid
strides. The dedication of Lee in
Richmond last May was ono stop.
The irresponsible volunteer mounted
cavalry i'll every county in every
State il another. Threat of war ii
Congress does its duty and provides
for the, protection of citizens .ut the
polls is another. These are like the
secession mutterings of 1860, and
ought to be understood by the Amer
can people, and answered by imme
diate mobilization of troops in every
State"
Perhaps the little lin soldier would
like to have "gallant Bon" assist him
ip leading on to glorious victory
the mighty cohorts--so long as bul
lets'are madee of paper and powder
of wind. Though Ben bo s'small po
tatoes" he is not the unmitigated ass
that Shepard is.

lias sent commissioners into tho un.
known land south of Mason s. Dix
on's line to discover its commercial
possibilities and write up it's remark
nble industrial progress. The Tri-
bune says:
"Beginning in Maryland our cor
respondent will go through each of
tho States south of Mason 81 Dixon's
line, and will faithfully and graphic
ally portray their recent advance
ment. The strides that have been
made in this part OF the country dur.
ing the last decade are wonderful
testimony to the courage and wis
dom of Soptherners. They havo in
deed learnod the uses OF adyersity.
Theirs was the hardest fate that had
befallen civilized people in recent
times, for not only were they impoy.
erished and enfeobled, but the sys-
tem-social, political and commercial
upon which they had builded their
institutions, and from which their
habits and methods were drawn, had
been destroyed, They wore not only
obliged to recover their Industries,
but to adopt new methods of CON
ducting them. They had not merely
to begin again at the beginning, but
to discard the ways and forces they
had known for century and to sub.
stitute new ones in thoir places. This
was tremendous task, and the NOR
al strength which accomplished it is
magpifcent.'
The Tribune roars Us gently rs q
sucillng dove when it fishes for
Southern readers and advertisers.
But it can hardly be ignorant Of the
fact that "the strides that have been
made in tliis part of the country dur
ing the last decade" aud which "aro
wonderful testimony to the courage
and wisdom of Southerners,r have
been mado since the collapse of the
negro and carpet-bag misgovcrnment
OF Southern States, for whose re-es
teblishment the Tribune has lately
been clamoring.
+ And "the moral strength which
has accomplished what the Tribsne
describes as ga tremendous task
and which it says justly is "lnagnif-
cent is that of tho Southern white
men whom tho Tribune has been in
tho habit of denouncing as traitors
to the Union, inhuman toward the
negroes, and brutal toward Ropubli-
cans. oven when they are white.
We should like to know il the Tri
bune really supposes that the indus.
trial and commercial progress which
it eulogizes, made under adverse cir.
cumstances which it does not exag-
gernte, conld possibly have been
made in country where the great
bulk of the laboring population is
ground to the earth, where ignorance
and vico and violence prevail, and
whero life and property ere unpro.
tected
We have often been struck with
the fact that, while the political edit
or of tho Tribune is as crazy as a
loon, its commercial editor is man
