Twelve months ago we wrote-"the old
canes every where are luxuriant," To-day,
our report is the reverse. Reaping opera
tons have commenced at some estates on
a limited scale. The young plants are i'm
proving under the genial showers Of the
past fortnight. The old canes are past
recovery, and it is confidently asserted by
some experienced planters that the crop will
not exceed $4,000 Hhds., while others less
hopeful think that it will not exceed half
of last years.
Several estates have been ~re-appraised
under the Act passed in July 1889 pro-
viding for the re-appraisement and sale of
real estate in the Court of Chancery; and
the first sale this year was effected to-day
by Mr.. j. Challenor Lynch, M. G. P, who
purchased the Pine estate in the parish
of Saint Michael, containing 4544 acres
with a growing crop estimated to make
100 hhds. Sugar, for Gl4,9S6, the full
appraised value thereof.
We very much regret to report the
occurrence of several fires this month in
canefelds, of which the following are the
principal.-at Vineyard in St. Philip, on
the 23rd, destroying 81 acres first crop canes;
at Portland in st. Peter, on the 10Th des-
troying 5 acres Of canes; at JGckmGnS, st.
Michael, on the 23rd, 81 acres canes burnt
at Cane Garden, St. Thomas on the 25th, 81
acres destroyed; at Bushy Park plantation
to-day. 8 acres canes destroyed.

Captain Hubbard and Mr.. Vickers, the pro-
moters of the West Indian Company, Limited,
arrived here in the Mail and on Thursday had
an interview with the Chamber Of Commerce.
They have also, we understand, submitted their
proposals TO the Government, and have met
with an encouraging reception. The Cham
Der of Commerce has asked thom to submit
their proposals in writing, which will be done
Immediately, and as their memorandum is Ger
tain to be published in the press, we shall
be able thereafter to refer to it more p%articu-
larly than we can do to-day. Our readers now
even, are pretty well acquainted with the mis-
sion Of the two visitors, from tidings of their
journey through the islands, which we have
published from time to time. The West India
Company, which as yet is unincorporated, is
being formed to develop the resources Of the
West Indies by furnishing increased Steamship
facilities for Passengers, Mails and Cargo, and
for providing adequate hotel accommodation
for the passenger traffic which the sailing of
the steamers will develop. 1t will run first
class swift steamers to and from New York and
Guiana. calllngat che chief Islands going and
coming, will run upon time" as the Ameri-
cans say, will carry mails, and take freight OH
the most reasonable rates. In the Leeward
Stands and in the Windward Islands the visi-
tors have been warmly received, and in each of
these Governments they have received the
promise of a subsidy of "a, 900 a year, subject
to the approval of the Legislative Councils,
which may be regarded as certain. They hope
to get q similar subsidy from Demerara-a
question which cannot be definitely settled un-
til the Com bined Court meets in March. In
the meantime, after their memorandum is made
public, there will be opportunity to give the
question due consi d~eration, and if the bene-
fits which are to come to us by the propos-
ed service are found to be of the estimated
value of the suggested subsidy, then certainly
the subsidy should be voted. We shall return
to the question after we have seen the data
which the Chamber of Commerce has asked
to be supplied with.

Island. The cost of the poor fellow that died
was G97 3. ST. The Superintendent of the
Mail Company asked that it should be refund
ed to the Company, but the Board of Health
wisely, we think decided that the "~articles
used with the sick man which were destroyed
by order of the Board should be paid for by
the Colony" and no more. The President Of
the Board (Mr. j. S. HowelD and Mr.. 0.
Jones, (M.C.) considered that all the expenses
incurred by the Company, which they would
not have lad to incur if there had been a
sick Hospital, should be paid by the colony,
but the Board could not see that the taxpay-
ers should suffer for the lacAss of the Gov.
eminent in this matter, and so rejected the
etause.
Colonel Luck happened to be one Of the
passengers in the E8k when the fever patient
was on board, and he has not been sparing in
his condemnation of everything connected
with the Quarantine Station. The Caretaker
has been summary dismissed at his instance,
and the Governor, III his speech, on Tuesday,
was induced by his representations to cay
that "attention had been drawn to our system
OF Quarantine, and it will hope result in the
introduction of some improvements m the
accommodation provided, and in other mat
ters of detail" The Board Of Health. mean
while, have appointed DIR. Charles Hutson,
DR.. Archer and DR.. Gaskin a Committee to
visit and inspect the Island and 10 report on
the sanitary arrangements there. This was
imperative on them, owing to the distinct and
pronounced charges of Colonel Luck. This
case of the Esk will make it necessary for us
to decide, definitely, a-what is our duty to
persons brought here suffering from infectious
disease ? and b-what can fairly be expected
Of US for passengers not intended for this
Island, but in transit to other ports, coming
here in infected vessels ?-1f we are to make
arrangements on land for any number of pas
BehgeEs that may be brought hither by steam
ers with infectious disease on board we shall
have to face o serious contingency. But with
all sympathy for such passengers we take the
liberty to express a doubt if such obligations
can be fastened upon us. A little care on the
part Of the Steamer Authorities, will as a rule,
prevent such eventualities rs the case of the
Esk, and where it is not taken they should
suffer for their indiscration. But we will not
anticipate.

We were glad to have the opportunity to-
day, to visit Pelican Island and see for our
selves the arrangements made there for pas
Bengers undergoing quarantine Of observation.
The main building is scott. long and is com
modious. 1t is nearly surrounded by q covered
verandah. There is good sleeping accommo-
6atlon for 2G persons at least, IN SIX rooms.
Each room is provided with table, chairs,
bedsteads and bedding and all that one would
find on board a good steamer. There are two
dining halls, fresh water and sea baths,
Telephone, C~ompany's water laid on. There
is abundance.o OF bedding and crockery. There
is not o cooler locality in the island. The
building for third class. pa ssengers is So
by 40 divided in two rooms, one room A. by
90 for males, and another IL by 90 for
females, and is better than anything they
obtain on board O steamer. We cannot fancy
any Inconvenience to parties on the Island
from o slaughter house more than half-a-mlle
from the Island, and the waste water pipe
discharging in the sea near the Chateau would
be more likely to effect FOntabell than the
Island. Of course it is not agreeable to be
sent anywhere to endure quarantine, and
allowance must be mad for the disappolnt-
ment and vexa0lon parties SO clrcumstanced
will experience. But we must confess that
we are satisfied that provision has been made
for the comfortable accommodation at Pelican
Island Of 26 first class passengers, equal to
what they would obtain in q good steamer or
at a respectable boarding house. We do not
speak of table supplies, because the Board OF
Health do not undertake TO provide such.
But as it regards lodgings, we doubt if better
are to be found in any such places than are
10 he seen at Pelican Island. The number
quarantined seldom exceeds the accommodation
[rovided. If it should occur on q rare occa-
fior the Government surely cannot be cen
red for an unforeseen contingency. AS we
! ave remarked elsewhere, the question OF
cur duty IN this matter will have to be fairly
ciscussed and finally settled,

Saved from an Awful Fate.

Gentlemen" said the Boston Judge,
you have done your duty by convicting
the prisoner of murder in the first degree.
and it remains for me to pass sentence OF
death upon his head. But, gentlemen u
the judge continued. "the enormity of the
crime is so great that plain death will not
expiate it. l have therefore decided to
meet the requirements of the case by new
and effective punishment" A breathless
silence hung over the court. Prisoner, 7
went on the judge, II hereby sentence 20 ,
tolbe confined for life in silk hat ar X
sack coat" But the dull thud that foI
lowed Indicated all too plainly that hS
spoke to corpse. And a subdued MUIR
mur of relief passed over the court room
as the spectators realized that the guilty
wretch had passed beyond the terrible
power of earthly justice.-Clothier and
Furnisher.

The Dark Horse.

The expression ''The dark horse" orig
mated in D'Israeli's novel, ''The Young
Duke" where it occurs in the description
of an important race, in which the favorite
and well known horses failed to run. In
the words of the author, GA dark horse,
which had never been thought of and
which the careless st. James had never
even observed in the list, rushed past the
grand stand in sweeping triumph. The
spectators were almost too surprised to
cheer" In politics this expression has been
much used ever since the election of James
A. Garfield, and has come to designate a
candidate never before thought about, who
wins over better known men.

A Lock Four Thousand Years Old. .


An Egyptian lock has been found which
we are assured was in use more than 1000
years ago. This old Egyptian lock, tells
the European Trade Mail, was not made
of metal like those we use nowadays, but
of wood and the key that opened it was
wooden, too On one side of the door to
which it was fastened there was staple,
and into this staple fitted wooden bolt
that was fixed to the door itself. When
this bolt was pushed into the staple as far
as it would go, three pins in the upper part
of the staple dropped into holes in the bolt
and held it in it's place, so that it could not
be moved back until the pins were lifted.
The key was straight piece of wood, at
the end of which were three pegs the same
distance apart as the pin which held the
bolt firm. When the key was pushed into
the bolt through hole made to receive it
the pegs came into such a position that
they were able to lift the pins that fixed
the bolt, and when these were lifted the
bolt could be lifted out of the staple.

April's Flower.

When April appears with her smiles and
her tears she brings with her the lily cups,
''those flowers made of light" Purity,
sweetness and majesty, these are the
tokens of the lily. So beautiful was the
lily held that the ancients dedicated it to
Juno. On the arms of France the lily
typifies piety, justice and charity.
No flower amid the garden fairer grows
Than the sweet lily of the lowly vale.

THE BuRLEsouE.
The Father of Burlesque Poetry and of
Burlesque Plays.

The Father of Burlesque Poetry and of
Burlesque Plays.
Mr.. Laurence Hutton in his "Curiosities
of the Stage" tells us that Hipponax of
Ephesus Is credited with having been the
father of burlesque poetry. He paraded
'.The uiad," making Achilles an Ionian
glutton; che did not spare his own parents,
he poked fun at the gods themselves, he
impaled Mrs. Hipponax with couplet,
upon which she is still exhibited to the
scoffers, and he is only to be distinguished
from his long line of successors by the
curious fact that he does not seem to
have spoken with derision of his mother
in-law." hope that Hipponax will have
many followers in the days to come. The
mother-in-law has become fatiguing.
Mr. Hutton considers Aristophanes the
father of the burlesque play, and cites his
many disciples. This burlesque writer,
however, had his object, and his works fur
nished pictures of nations and customs
That buriesque must have sadly degener-
ated in its aims and purposes is only too
evident. AS Mr.. Hutton satirically re-
marks, "What curious ideas of American
life and manners will ,posterity gain from
.Adonis' and 'Evangelinep"
The history of early American burlesque,
between the years 1899. when William
Mitchell opened the Olympic, and 1859.
''when William Burton madt his last bow
to the American public" is highly enter
tanning. Here are a few titles that will
give one an idea of the punfulness of those
days: 'The Bohea Mans Grip (1Bohemian
Girl, ~ "Fried Shots" e ''Freischutz.") "Her
Nanny" ("Ernani,") Lucy Did Sham Her
Moor" Lucia di Lammermoor') and "The
Cats in the Larder" La Gazza Ladra'0 1t
seems a little surprising that burlesque
writers should still hammer away at the
puns, and less convincingly than they did
in those days
