There has been some talk about the
fast time made by the Cincinnati line OF
steamers. The Ben Hur has one for
them to beat. 1t left Psrkersburg at
O'Clock Thursday morning and was at
Wheeling at 1880 p. M; made forty
landings and did god business. Capt.
James Cats was at the wheel, and made
the landings as quick as could be, con-
sidering the high wind. w. w. Will
hanson and Jep. Frame, the mates, are
the ones that can make the time II any
one can. The clerks, Ed. Dunn and
Phil Hornbrook, deserve credit for their
speed. They were out fourteen hours
and one-half from Parkersburg to
Wheeling.
The marks on the landing at mid
night showed u feet inches OF water

entirely his own. The latest kilograms seem
to show that the instruction headed by Ham

SUGAR IN ST. VINCENT.
From the Lomsiona Planter, 9th Juiy.l

The St. Vincent Sentry o,lls public atten-
ton to the black outlook in local agricul-
tural affairs, the sugar crop for the current
season having proved such a disastrous
failure that the closing of the estates is a
near probability, Our contemporary sees
in the present and prospective condition Of
affairs, the impending ruin Of the labouring
classes, and urges the government to do
something to obviate the calamity. But
it is not easy to see what the government
can do under the circumstances. If the
sugar estates are not paying, the govern
ment can not make them pay, and if the in
habitants show no disposition to engage in
other agricultural pursuits, the government
can not force them to do go. The people
must help themselves. Sugar may be a total
failure as a means Of support but other
products can be made to take its place.

the planters TUNED their attention to tes

tural prosperity.

coast at all. It was chiefly the population on
the slope of the great Ava volcano itself
which suffered. There was no warning earth
quake before the eruption. Ashes in immense
masses and stones of great magnitude were
suddenly showered all over the island; and
while hundreds are known to have been kill
ed on the spot, it is feared that between FIVE
hundred and a thousand Of the people en-
gagged in tile rice-felds on the higher slopes
Of the volcano were also destroyed.

The news from Uganda is of the kind
which makes that 'darker which was dark
enough before On Wednesday, the Times
published long telegram from Paris, contain
ing extracts from a document signed AN ex-
Missionary of Uganda, which has been pub
lished by the Catholic newspapers. The do
cument declares that all Captain Lugards ac-
cusations as to Catholic intrigue are false,
and represents him as the aggressor. The
Times also published on Wednesday a letter
addressed to the Secretary of the Church
Missionary Society by the Rev. S. X. Basker-
vile, dated Uganda, January 3lst, 1892, and
an extract from a letter written by the Rev.
R H Walker in February, 1892. These as
sert that the Roman Catholics have been the
cause of all the trouble, and that Captain Lu-
gard has throughout done his best to hold the
balance fairly between the two bodies of
Christians. This, we suspect, is true. as far
Captain Lugard is ooncerled, for he, it must be
remembered, represents. not the Protestant
missionaries. but a trading company. The
letters contain a curious story as to the relgi-
Gus attitude Of the King Mwanga. The
French Bishop, it is asserted, having failed in
sehe me to depoSe Mwanga, eXhorted him to
come to confession. "FIrst,' said Mwanga,
Il must have a present. My men have
been killed and my house burned" 'All
right, : says Monseigneur, "you shall have fol-
ty tusks OF ivory" las soon as | get them,
says the King, "you shall confess me"
Whichever way the balance of right i%nclinea,
we fear there has been a most discreditablo
struggle for the possession Of Mwanga's per
son, as the chief counter in the game. When
the letters were written, the Catholics had
.baggod him" but the latest kilograms show
that he is now in the hands of the Protest.

THE CONSERVATION OF


Crops usually lail or succeed in proportion
as they receive an equal distribution or
uniform supply Of water. Failures are moro
frequently attributed either to a deficiency
or a surplus Of rainfalls than to any other
cause. Hence one Of the chief essentials
to culture is to maintain the presence Of q
proper amount of available water to crops,
and so far as. practicable guard against excess
ON either side. And this is largely within
the control Of the cultivator. Says Mr.,
Saunders, the superintendent Of gardens and
grounds at Washington:
"The three operations Of draining, subsoil-
ing and mulching when properly un3srstood
comprise all the requisites Of success and
enable the cultivation in q very great mea-
sure TO Tegatd with comparative indifference
whether the season prove unusually wet or
unusually dry. If the former, the drains
remove all superduous water, and the loosen
ing Of the subsoil allows the egress of water
through all its pores, which are rapidly filled,
and mulching the surface so az to prevent
evaporation retains tho water where plants
can reach il, instead Of its being rapidly
consumed by drying winds sweeping over
the soil. OF all operations relating to soil
culture there are none whose values arc so
well establishel as the ones alluded to, and
yet they are operations to which the great
majority Of cultivators are strangers.
1T seems not to be generally understood
that draining. ii connection with proper Gull
ture, increases the capability Of the soil for
absorbing and retaining moisture. AS soon
as the pores are filled water ceases to DO
absorbed. The object in draining is to allow
the surplus water to pass off. No water
can reach the drains until the pores of the
soil are satisfied or filled. 1t is therefore
evident that the deeper the soil is drained the
greater becomes the reservoir of contained
moisture, SO that on soils of %gravelly or
sandy nature a more luxuriant vegetation
will be produced after they are artifcially
drained. With clay soils the improvement is
still more obvious; no good clay soil can be
considered in best clopping condition until
drained.
Draining and subsoiling therefore increase
the amount of available moisture I'D the soil.
To keep it there and prevent its escape by
mere surface evaporation, we have rs-
course to mnlohing. Where it is not ex-
pedient to apply foreign matter TO the sur
face an efficient substitute can be had in
the soil itself by simply keeping the surface
loose by cultivation. A few inches of loose,
powdery soil en- the surface forms a cap
ital non-conduoting stratum and likewise
has the great advantage of being easily Sc

The four conspirators-Milaroff Popoff,
Gheorghieff, and Karagulof sentenced
to death in the recent political trial
at Sofia, We're executed at 3 o'clock on
Wednesday morning. The event will,
it is believed, cause great indignation in
Russia: hut NJ. Stambouloff is doubtless indif-
ferent to any such considerations. He knows
that nothing he is wiling to do could possibly
concillate Russia. Though the Russian Gov
or}uncnt mas Semi-otficiaIly declared that the
Dispatches published BY the Bulgarian Go
vernmeu are vile forgerits," NJ. Stambouloff
continues to print them in his official organ,
The story of the manner III which the alleged
dispatches were obtained, told in Thursdays
DAILY Nc0s, is curious. About a year and a
half ago, jacobson, the D%ragoman Of the Rus
sian Legation in Bucharest, quarrelled with
NJ. Hitroyo, the Russian Minister, to whom
the work of bringing Bulgaria to her knees
has unQuestionably been entrusted. jacobson
fed, taking with him a bundle of papers.
When this became known, the Russian news
papers announced that these papers were for
geries. For some time nothing more was
heard of Jacobson, except that he had offered
to sell information to the Bulgarian Go
vernment. In ali probability, the secret
despatch s were what he sold. Tn latest
instalment of the dispatches, says the Stand
ard correspondent. shows that NM. Zankoff
and Stantchoff each leceived from NJ. Hitrovo
10000 II. to get the Prince assassinated.
They demanded more, however, and the
Asiatic Department replied that $4,000 fr.
should be sent to NJ. Zankoff at Belgrade.
The story is an unpleasant one, though, we
fear not unlikely TO be true. AT the same
time, we must remember that at Sofia
anything and everything is believed against
Russia.

The volcanic disaster in Sangir island
the island between the Celebes and Philippine
group,-on which we commented a week ago,
has evidently been, as we suspected, much
exaggerated. 1t was bad enough in all con-
science, but it did not extinguish the island
and all its inhabitants, as had been supposed.
The deaths directly caused by the eruption
may possibly amount to as many as two
thousand out of the twelve thousand; and if
famine follows the destruction of the crops,
as seems but too likely, the mortality will
probably rise much higher; but, at any rate,
the island has not disappeared, and the Dutch
Government is making an effort to suocour tho
victims. It does not appear that the worst

The labour troubles at homestead. PennSyl
vani', are by no me ms over, the union men
still declaring that they will in some way or
other prevent the employment Of the non-
union men who have been taken on and who
are now working in the mills. Two out OF
three regiments of militia have, however, been
withdrawn, a sign that the authorities do not
now fear any violent acts on the part of
the strikers. On Saturday last an attempt
was made to mui der Mr.. Prick, the manager
Of the Carnegie works, by a foreigner named
Berklnln, which fortunately did not prove
fatal The assassin is probably connected
with the Anarchists of Chicago. When the
news reached the camp Of The Militia, Pri-
waite Jams, Of the 10th Regiment, shouted.
Three cheers for the assassin y The Colonel
who heard the shout instantly partded the
regiment, and ordered Jams To advance two
PAGES. He was than ordered to the guard-
house; 'the Colonel and staff, including the
surgeons of the regiment, followed. Jams
was then hung ay his thumbs for thirty min
ute5, the surgeon keeping watch on his pulse
and heart. When released. Jams was in o
state Of collapse, and apparently unconscious
for some time" The Offenders head was
then shaved on one side. he was stripped of
his uniform and drummed out of the camp
The severity of the punishment is said to have
been due to the fact that Jams efused to re-
tract his law.ess words. G neral onowden
expressed his approval of the c %'loneIs action,
and though the incident has create a cert in
amount of indignation, there has been moth
ing like the excitement that would, under 81

England. We cannot help strongly con
demning both the use of punishment which
is pure ~torture-hanging by the thumbs,
though it does no actual injury, fills the body
from head to foot with intolerable aches-and
the i%nfiotion of any punishment without a
court martial. 1t is a pity that the wise and
sagacious support always given by the Ameri-
cans to military discipline should have been
strained by association with an act SO barba-
rous.

Easter Weddings.

little bridemaids ip picturesque cos

thing to have little tots of 5 and 6
years up to 10 to replace the more
mature maiden, and q quaint dress
for the small maid of honor, who has
now become Lo uncomfortable part Of
the ceremony, consists OF little
gathered dress of finest white null,
very soft and full. and simply hem
stitched at the bottom. 1t is belted
just below the arms with blue liber-
ty silk sash, very broad, but of silk
so fine and thin that il ties softly In
its huge bow. The sleeves are very
full and pulled to the elbow, where
lace frills finish them. Tho collar,
too, is of point and so deep that 1t
meets the sash. A large poke-bonnet
of shirred null is trimmed with blue
feathers, blue mltts cover the tiny
hands and blue slippers with blue
lace stockings complete the dress.
