= We regret to hear that Professor Harrison
has been seriously indisposed this week and is
still confined to his house.
= Regarding the valuable services rendered
Professor Harrison to agriculture in Barba-
dos, Mr.. Greaves in the House, is reported by
the Reporter to have said -" Those mem
bers who had followed the course Of education
IN this island and made a study of agriculture
since Prof. Harrison came here and brought
science TO bear upon it, would see that agricul-
tural science was one Of the first sciences in the
world and repaid all the aid which was given
TO 1t. The hlgh-class manures which we now
obtained III the island were due to the expert
ence and scientific knowledge which Profess
OF Harrison brought to bear on agricultural
matters in the island. Following after him we
had Mr.. Bert, Professor of Chemistry. and
young Mr.. ThOrne. He thought he was right
IN saying that Prof. Harrison was the pioneer
IN that branch of science which had been so
speedily followed up by the other gentlemen
whom he had named. Agricultural science was
a matter which they could not shut their eyes

In the dominican by last mail, mention
is made of a rnmoured sale of landed property
in Dominica to a wealthy Canadian, who intends
to put it in sugar cane. Our contemporary
says:-We understand that the Leathem Es-
tates, namely, Londonderry, Eden, Woodford
Hill and Hampstead, which for a long time were
offered for sale, have at last been bought by
His Exceilency the Governor for a wealthy
Canadian capitalist. The report, if true, is GER
tainly welcome news. Those estates have been
for sometime in a retrogressive condition owing
to the limited means that were advanced for

From tho Spectator august H.,

and generous and delicate critic took place
early ON "Wednesday, at his residence at Elm
wood, near Boston. lie was born or February
22nd. 1919, at Cambridge, Massachusetts,, so
that he had completed his seveuiy-sccond year.
He was the son Of q refined Unitarian minister.
and his love OF literature was so great, that
though ne studied law, took his degree of LII.
b and at one time actually opened an office in
Boston, he never grappled practically with any
profession except that of literature, Of which
he was long q Professor at Harvard University.
1t was in 1848 that, under the influence of
disgust at the Mexican War, and the unprinoi-
pied motives which led so many to support il,
he began the "Biglow Papers, " which will linn
mortallse his name IN the eyes of Englishmcn
and Americans. His serious poetry was good,
with a slightly conventional favour of idealis-
tic sentiment IN 1t; but it was in the poetry If
humour, satire, political scorn, that be touched
his highest point indeed, a point which makes
him an original force in our literature. 'JOhn
P. Robinson, he who said, . the. didn't know
everything GOWN in JUDGE" was almost a pro-
phetic forecast Of an a. E in which prophecy

ing Yankee, who kept his presence of mind as
undisturbed i'll danger as he kept his selfish

The youthful King of Servia-he is fifteen
and has therefore three more years Of minority
before him-left Peterhof on Saturday last, en-
route for Vienna, accompanied by NJ. Ristich,
the chief Regent. What amount Of signif-
canoe is to be attached to his stay at st. Peters
burg, it is difficult to say; but it is evident
that the Gar is anxious to pose as tie protec-
tor of Sprvia. On Monday night the King
slept at Vienna, at the Hofburg, and on Tues
day started for Ischl, where he paid a one
days visit to the Emperor Of Austria, in order,
we presume, to show that the Regents have
not gone too far in the direction of Russia.
Little seems known about the lad on whom
so much may depend; but the quarrels of his
father and mother are not likely to have had a
very beneficial effect on his character; nor is
M. Ristioh, in whose hands he will remain for
another three years in all probability, a model
guardian. M. Ristich, strangely enough, also
acted as Regent and guardian to King Milan.
1t is said that when. on a certain occasion, he
accused his Sovereign of want of candour, the
King replied: II am what you have made me-"
If the retort was well founded, God help King
Alexander!

There is some agitation at Vienna as to the
rightof Russia to pass 3! jps containing, or SAID
to contain, troops through tie DardanelIes.
The Porte, however. is undoubtedly in its
strict right in refusing permission for any ship
which can properly be called q ship-of-war to
pass the Dardanelles. And if the Porte refuses
to permit Russia to break the rule, it would
undoubtedly be supported by every Power in
Europe except France. The Porte is too sem
sitive as to Constantiuople to play into Russian
hands.

The investigation of the charges against
Canadian officials continues. On Tuesday, it
was announced that Sir Hector LangeVin had
resigned his post in the Dominion Cabinet,
and on that day his examination before the
Committee was begun. His evidence, both III
chief and under ross-eXaMinQtion. was. to the
effect THAI he was Unaware Of the corruption
that was taking place. The most impolt unt
point made. against him was ia connection
with the Langevin testimonial, to which it is
asserted that persons subscribed who intend
ed their subscriptions to be something velY'
hike brides. Sir Hector declared himself en-
tirely Ignorant as to Who subscribed andwho did
not, because to have acquainted himself with
the details would lave BEEN to put u sort Of
pressure on his friends to give largely. Asked,
Was it not because you believed it wrong to.
accept these moneys?'-ho replied. No; it was
because I did not wish my friends to be en-
burrassed."
The Cape Town correspondent of the Times.
telegraphing on Monday, states that Mr.. Bent's
examination Of the ruins Of Zimbabye has al
ready begun to produce results, The great
walled enclosure, which has a circumference
of260 yards, is found to contain a seri,s of en-
blems which Indicate that the building was at
some time or other used by a people practising
the Grosser forms Of Nature-worship. The
walls when measured turned out to be in some
places 10 #. high and Is it. thick. Two at
tempts have been made tG open the large tower,
which is solid and shows no opening at the top.
There are ruins on u hill close by Of the
same age and style. These consist of numer-
Gus walls and steps, arches, and walled-up
caves" IN altar has also been found sculp-
turel with birds and large bowls, and with a
frieze re presenting a hunting scene. There
are four quaggas at which a man is throwing
a dart while holding a dog in a leash. Be-
hind are two Elephants" These facts seem
to point to Phpnician origin, for the Ploni-
clans were dcvotees Of the reproduced We pow
ers If Nature. An addition to this informa-
ton, however, throws Us buck into darkness:
''Some blue and green Persian pottery, and a
copper blade plated with gold, have also been
found 1t is clear that the problem whether
the ruins are Phpnician or Persian has not
yet been solved Mr. Bent, however, contin-

This week a very fine sample of quartz was
submitted to the Gold Commissioner for analy-
sis, and he has reported that it is unquestion-
ably of paying richness, the proportion Of gold
found in it being far above the minimum limit
fixed in countries where quartz crushing is the
mainstay of the gold industry. The quartz is
from the Demerara river but in what part Of
the river we are not at present able to say.
1t must be gratifying to those who have the
interests of the gold business at heart to know
that paying quartz has been found,-not a bit
Of water ashed stone, but a sample taken from
the living rock for until quartz mining is
established, the gold industry of this colony
must be rt-lived, and may show signs Of
