ing to quoting from the closing part of the
article some sentences in reference to the value
of peas as extractors of nitrogen from the air
and then as contributors of the extracted nj
trogen to the soil. A kind known as the
s'cow peas seems. from the experience of the
Louisiana agriculturiSts, to be particularly efec-
tive in this way, and, according to the author of
the article, is attracting general attention.
Would the climate of Santa Cruz suit this pea.
or, at any rate, would it not be worth while to
make an experiment to settle that point? The
following is the passage from the Louisiana
Planter:
"In closing this hastily written paper, per-
init me to ~felicltate the sugar planter upon
his good fortune in having within his reach
two u~nfailing sources of nitrogen, cow peas
and cotton seed meal. The former are now
being sought by the entire sugar world. The
station has recently by request sent samples
to Australia and Mauritius,
1t has been shown beyond cavll that the
COW pea has enormous capacity Of ahstraoting
and appropriating large quantities of nitro
gen from the air. Examine the roots of this
plant, and you will find it full of nodulps.
In these nodules are mytiaisof bacteria, which,
while they take away the juices of he plant,
vet restore one hundred fold. This living to-
gether, technically called "symbiosis' is now
a common property Of legunes, and among
the latter your cew pea is emphatically the
prince.
Thsse bacteria accomplish the difficult
task of transforming the free nitrogen of the
air into vegetable albuminoids and he decay
of the pea transfers the latter to t g succeed
ing crop. 1t has been found by the station
that a crop Of COW peas, grown broadcast and
turned under, conveyed to each acre of land
an amount Of nitrogen equal to 900 pounds
cotton seed meal. No wonder the world CO.
vets our great nitrogen gatherer."

Yesterday We invited the public to visit il
the evening the American Variety co. at the
Theatre, where, as We had been told, lots
of fun would be had, hut we are sorry that
our anticipations were not at all realized, the
performance having proved a decided fasco.
1t was apparent from the moment the factors
appeared on the stage thar the Show would
not take, and they had not been long at it
when peoples dissatisf elton began to be
manifested. A good many retired. and this
gave rise to a runpus in which Kisses, ~catcals
and clsmours for return money produced u
noise which even the loud strains Of the
band Of music could not drown. Meantime
the Police were occupied in keeping order,
and were it not for their presence the lads
might have been rather roughly handled, as
everybody considered that they had been

JUSTICE GONE MAD
antigua Standard.)

Justice is blind" is what we are accus
toned to Extraordinarily we hear a good
deal now q days and have the mdubita-
BILE proofs of Justice being blind drunk:
but this is not the only sign that those who
administer it are but weak men and prone
to other human inirmIties. To Judge by
the actions Of Chief Justice Yelverton, JUS
tiCe appears to have gone mad in the Bahia
mas. The Nassau Guardian some time ago
published a letter over the signature Colo
MIST, the purport of which we have not
ascertained. The Chief Justice it seems
conceived it to be his duty to take notice OF 1t
and by private note to the Editor, Mr.. Alfred
Moseley, he invited his attendance at cham
bers. Mr.. Moseley having obeyed the lntor-
nal luminous was informed by Ills Honour
that he considered the letter published otsuch
a serious nature that he should demand the
name of its author, which the Editor de
clining to aocede to. and urging that the
publication in question not being in contempt
of the Court over which his Honour presid-
ed he would in defence Of the liberties Of the
press accept the responsibilities of any action
the Chief Justice might see fit to institute.
Proceedings by summons were taken for Mr.,
Moseley's appearance within a very few hours
to shew cause why he should not be commit
ted for contempt of Court. This notice be-
ing SO short Mr.. Moseley applied for a post
ponement in order to take advice of Coun-
sci; the application was promptly refused,
and upon Mr.. Moseley being called upon to
answer the summons he said that under all
circumstance he would show no cause but
await the Judges order in the matter.
The Chief Justice then proceeded TO deIlv.
er a lengthy judgment concluding by %sontenc-
- NJ T~--I. - SAANr,coV1aA In an fin
pleasure of the Court and to pay a fine Of
$40 for publishing.-tO pay an additional
fine of 925 for contempt in refusing to d.
vulge the name of The writer of the letter, to
remain in prison until the fines were paid and
to pay all costs of the proceedings,
Mr.. Moseley was then conducted to prison.
Subsequently it is reported that the Chief
Justice called at the prison and had Q prl-
vate interview with the keeper presumably
on the subject Of his Honours prisoner.
The news Of this high handel abuse Of
power spread like wild fire throughout the
community and as one man they arose in pro-
test, and great excitement prevailed, all busl-
ness was suspended and a population Of over
fftv waited on the Governor, Sir Ambrose
Shea, and requested Mr.. Moseley's release.
His Excellency received them courteopsly
and after consideration of the matter and te-
legraphic communication with Downing
Street granted the request of the deputatiOn,
In the mean while the Chief Justice in open
Court, referred to the dep l~tation in very un-
dignifed language and among other things
said that che would not !hesitate to imprison
any one who. happened to shew contempt-not
excluding e~en the head OF the executive him.
SELF And he then expressed bis deterlpi-
nation to keep Mr.. Moseley imprisoned until
he shonld give up the name of the writer of
the letter aye even for 30 years. This however,

To the Editor Of the st. CrOi All. & Bulletin
Dear Sir,

To the Editor OF the st. CrOi Aria q Bulletin
Dear Sir,
AS it may bs interesting to som, Of
your readers to know something about my ex.
animation ! beg you to insert these few lines.
According to notice, the examination of my
school took place on the 28th and 29th ult.
It was, on both days, attended by a decent
number Of persons, the friends Of the teacher,
aud the parents and relatives Of SOME of the
pupils,
Among the youngladies present, we're somO
who had been former p lpils of the school, and
who had been specially invited to attend the
examination.
The pupils were in excellent spirits, and |
don't remember having before seen 8relter iu-
terest taken by children IN an examination
it was a real treat to them.
On both days the exercises commenced at a
few minutes past 10 O'Clock. On the first day,
the examination was confined tothe advanced
class, the smallest in the school, consisting of
only 3 boys. One of these having g It sick on
the very eve of he examination day, the re-
mining two had 10 stand the test.
They were most rigidly examined IN twelve
subjects, and dill renlrxtbiy we'll, considering
that, for a considerable portion Of the year,
they had been absent, through sickness and
other causes. lney went throQ N tlelt alge'
bra and Euclid fI9ntly.
OF the 2nd class, consisting Of % children,
sub.divided into 3 sections, IL were present at
the examination. The first two sections were
each examined IN 9 subjects, and the third in q.
The LIST class, containing Is children, sub
divided into two sections, was examined in 8
subjects,
would here beg to observe that all the
children, even the smallest, were ex 4mined in
Scripture history, Arithmetic and Geography;
as, in this school, a graduated course of
instruction is given in these branches.
That the exlninatlon was a success. was
proved by the interest evincod by both Wis
itors and children, who although it was some
time after ) o'clock when the exercises
were concluded, did not show any signs of
fatigue.
Thus ended the examination of "La Esper-
ANA" school, leaving the teacher to enjoy
that satisfaction of mind which invariably
follows the faithful discharge of duty.
At our next, we hope to be able to delight
our friends with some vocal music, and a few
Spanish dialogues. This will entail on US
heavy labour, but as We are quite accustomed
to hard work, we will not mind.
But, "Nisi Dominus frastraf"
We therefore trust that Almighty God
whose work it is. and whose glory is our prin-
oipal end and aim, will aid US.

of political scheming as could be de-
vised by the most INSCRIPTIONS vote

Upon the death, recently, Of l.. A
Galloway, postma ster at Southport
for thirty six years. petition signed
by Tic leading merchants. business
men and citizens Of this place, re,

Galloway. the postm aster's daugh-

years and was most competent to
fill the position, be appointed post
mistress, to fill out the unexpired
