PORT ROYAL AND IT'S HARBOUR.

This 10 the title Of an admirable publ
cation from the Press Of Messrs. Ashton w.
Gardner and Company, for which several
local writer's are responsible. AS a mono
graph or the district Of Port Royal, portray
ing it's present pathetic condition Of neglect
and recalling many If the most Characters
tic incidents Of the brilliant past which
according to one Of the collaborators, had its
glorious and worthy, as we'll as its repulsivs
features, it will be accorded q hearty welcome.
Though unequally written, on accountprobably
Of the combined authorship,i it is full of interest
from Hrst to last, and the reader rises from
the perusal with the feeling that these short
notes on the history, legends, sport pasti1nss
ana avocations' Of Port Royal could have been
greatly prolonged to his great pleasure and
benefit. Everything about the old historic
town and its harbour has an interest to the
jamaican and to many abroad and the essence
Of the romanc8 that surrounds them will be
found in this entertaining series of papers.
Particulars Of the Gallows Point, the dock
ward. the batteries and forts, the Palisades,
Mary Read and Anne Bonney, the women
pir4tes, the sport Of the district &c, are all
set forth in a clear style by writer's who ara
evidently in love with their subject. The

The communications of Nr. Cambray are
really quite interesting, a2d worthy Of the at
tention of the sugar planters Of the colonies.
1t IS known that We are predis posed in favor
of direct diffusion Of the c ne, and consider
it the ideal process. We have not, however,
lost view Of the fact that in the colonies
whatever method Of extraction will be the
most convenient with our old machinery
will be the best, and from thisp point of view
the Cambray process attracts attention.
We have heard it said that the Inc
ventor, who left for France on the 25th Of
January, has arranged with two factories in
Mauritius, agreeing to pay half the costs of
the installation Of the ne " apparatus until
/ demonstration of the accuracy Of his figures
is made. We shall doubtless see the results
of the work this season.

The Directors of the above have sent out
two reports covering the half year to October
1892 and April, 1898, the reason for the delay
in issuing the previous report being the
illness and death of the accountant. We
regret to note that in the frt period the
Company incurred a loss Of 1858. and in the
second a loss cf 500, no doubt due to the
dull trade in the year 1891, when many
failures occurred in the United States, and the
subsequent lack Of business in 1892. The
Directors then entered into joint arrangement
with the Hart Steamship Company of Phila-
delphia, in order to keep the fruit trade, but
this proved unsatisfactory, and we are glad to
see that they have reverted to tbs former
system of only supplying fruit to vessels here
without taking any risks in transactions
system which used to pay as high as los.
per share. We have no doubt that with a
revival in the fruit business the old prosperity
will return.
At the cpeoial meeting TO be held shortly
the shareholders are to be invited to consider
various amendments to the Article of Associa-

better conduct Of the affairs of the Company.
These alterations should not be passed without
careful consideration and an estimate of their

THE CAMBRAY PROCESS.

TRANSLATED for the Louisiana Planter from 10
Sport Colonial, Reunion.)
The sugar planters Of Mauritius havshad
tile good fortune Of a visit from Mr.. Cam
bray, a sugar engineer, who offers them a new,
excellent and practical process, which at a
slight cost permits the recovery of all tho
sugar now lost in the bagasse.
This process is based on the principle 81
diffusion, and, according TO the author, ad-
vantagss arise from the rapidity of
the operation, which requires scarcely FIVE
minutes, this rapidity avoiding inversion, and
the more so from the fact that the lsvig atiOn
is done in close space, without the admission
Of air.
The figures submitted by Mr.. Jam
bray indicate that the nav process will &C.
cure from q cane Of Is per cent. saocharine
richness 1898 Of sugar. Tits calculation
is based upon the mill furnishing such pres
sure as to secure 81 per cent. extraction
from oane with 10 per cent of fibre.
Mr.. Cambray changes nothing in the fac
tories now in operation, the apparatus that he
uttcdoc, being independent Of those used,
The ha. asSe coming from the ordinary mill
il oee!,ed by All instrument which reduces
il INTO very slender PARTICLES. These are
then sent to a warnswater mixer, whore tae
pulp 10 Immediately saturated, producing
O3mOS6 In q WOrd, an tDStdneONs dtUA8fON.
This bagasae, forced through the leviga-
Tor, is taken 10y q special automatic press
and presses into cakes, or bricks, under a
pressure Of 200 kilos. per square centimeter,
the bricks being quite dry and requiring no
other preparation to be used as fuel. These
bricks are carried mechanically on q carrier
from the press.
Mr., Oambray thus otfess complete extrac-
ton, aud % practical means Of disposing of
the bagasss and making it useful fuel
This constitutes very considerable progIe ss
and dispose Of all the inconvenience il
burning bagasse, and also suppresses the
step ladder furnaces now becoming quite
common in the colonies.
Mr.. Cambray does not stop here, but oriti-
ciscs the method of the Mauritians in the use
Of snlphursus acid. According to him and
we coincide with him, sulphurous acid
ig dstestable, and the first reason
thai he gives is TO the point. At 20
degrees G water will absorb but SO per cent
of the gas produced by burning sulphur, re-
sulting in q loss of over go per cent. of the
sulphur used. The sulphuroua gas, according
to him. ought TO be injected into the juice,
not while cold. before defecation by lime,
but after, until neutrality is reached, when a
voluminous precipitate will be produced, re.

Spectator, Nay 27thJ

Whatever the depre, sion in trade, there 10
always something useless Which the rich
will buy at fancy prices. A lew years ago it
was odd china, Lord Dudley, for example,
giving thousands Of pounds for a china ship,
which q housemaid might break recently 1t
was French furniture which had been used by
some person Of eminence and to-day it seems
to be rock cry stall and other inferior
Or ecious stones. A vase Of that substance,
which is not specially beautiful, with
snamelledsgold mounting, was sold on We'd
nesday at the Splitter sale in l'aris for
G., $40 and q jasper cup. with similar mount
ing. for fl.892. A smoky rock crystal
ever went for E630. and a rock crystal goblet
for G227. Things III rock crystal have the
merit Of durability but the material limits
rather than deyelapes the artists skill. The
constant deposit Of millionaires in society
tends, Of course, to increase the demand for
all things which cannot be reproduced; but
ore wonders how great the reduction in
price would be if any general misfortune fell
on Europe,-a great war, for instance, or q
great upheaval from below. We claimed
durability, hy-tho-way, for the translucent
stones; but it was a hasty claim. Nine-tenths
OF the work IN them, which must have accu-
mulated in the old civilizations has i%rretrle-
yobly pelisLod, and, indeed. the learned
have never ascertained the fate Of the Roman
emeraldr and rubics.

In the Back Woods.

The young fellows who were taking
a pedestrian tour through the Berk-
shire hills recently lost their way
after making the ascent of Mount
everett, and at nightfall were glad to
aek quarters at lonely farm house.
The woman in charge got up an ex-
cellent supper, killing chicken for
them. gave them clean, comforta BILE
beds, and had savory breakfast for
them in the morning. When they
asked her how much they should pay
her she replied, in deprecating
way that as times were a little hard
she would have to charge them more
than they might like to pay, but
twelve and onehalf cents apiece
would be satisfactory. She was as
tonished when they gave her dollar,
and probably thinks to this day that
she entertained Vanderbilts una
wares.

Dignity Forbids His Being Mere
Rnbber.
Bandits have friends in every vii
lage, who supply them with what
they want, and those who have only
taken life on two out Of revenge are
not regarded as criminals. We have
seen girl scarce out of her teens
flash up with anger if any thing was
said against the vendetta and ex-
claim: ''Que v0uleZ-vouSp On maine
pas teur, mails 81 on tue les vOtresn
Being told it was crime TO take life,
she shrugged her shoulders and said
''Qui ne tue pas GnequelfoisP'
A bandit in Corsica mover robs any
one, but if he wants money he gets it,
not by plundering rich tourists, not by
stopping diligence would be
thieving, and altogether beneath h
dignity. He writes II strongly wordea
letter to some person with whom he
and his family are at feud, and bids
him send a certain sum by given
date. or take the consequences. The
Belle Croscie band, especially during
the last twenty years, has acted as if
the country around belonged to them.
They have almost always insisted
on sharing in the profits of any up-
dertaking which they may have seen
going forward, says the Saturday Re-
view.
Some few Yeas ago the MARIE of
- obtained IL concession OF the
right to fell a certain number OF
trees in the forest of Nizzavonal
The Belle Croscie heard of this and
demanded a share in the profit. The
marie Indignantly refused, but the
two bandits said: Then we will
shoot any one who attempts to cut
down a single treer' 1t was so cef-
tain that they would do it that tho
trees were left standing. At length
the marie began to think that halt
loaf was better than no bread, and
yielded. That has always been the
way. Every one has yielded, and
though expedition after expedition Of
armed men have been sent to the
mountains to capture the two Belle
Croscie, and though the gendarmes
have been eager for the honor and
reward attendant on success, there
has been no success. Antoine Croscie
has waited until the time during
which the law prosecutes for murder
is passed; Jacques will do the same
and a governing family in Corsica
will have been founded.

the golden key which released the Dent-
up steam in the great engines and set
the chimes ringing and unfurled the
myriad of flags from the great building,
and the stupendous enterprise comment
Grating the 4OOth anniversary of Column
bus great achievement was in full
swing.
The scene was one of great moment
when the president reached forth his
hand to awake the great fair from sleep;
one of historic interest and one which
thrilled the vast assembly.
At that instant the men at the hal
yards at the foot of each great flagstaff
laid hold with a vim. The monstrous
American flag EMBODIED at the top of
the center-pole broke forth and broad
ened out in the air. At each corner
of the administration building banners
blaZed forth and simultaneously from
every flagstaff upon all the buildings
other banners swung out and the city
of bannerettes, representing the various
nationalities, was given to the breeze.
The great fountains g1lshed upwards.
Out upon Lake Michigan the revenue
cutttr Andrew Johnson doomed a salute
and every craft in the neighborhoOd
set it's whistles screeching.
The great mass of people on the plaza
swayed like an ocean wave and rOared
to Heaven their appreciation of the
event. The officials and dignitaries on
the stand cought the spirit and felt an
infusion of patriotism and national good
fellowship.
The president and officials We're then
entertained at luncheon AMI made the
round of the buildings.
After thoroughly inspected the White
city, President Cleveland and his party
were driven to Grand Crossing where
they took the train for Washington.

for him to reioin his own shin. Prince
George determined to try and give
him the chance of new start in life.
On ARRIVING in port. after calling
upon the mans captain. who natur-

him, he went to the admiral and
asked permission to transfer him to
the Thrush. The admiral. astonished
at the proposition, gave his consent
Prince George went back to his

spoke to him as probably he had
never been spoken t. before He
told him that he was henceforth
transferred to the Thrush; that, as
commanding officer, he put him in
the first class for leave and gave him
clean sheet as regards his past of

The man was completely overcome.
He of course answered nothing, but

During the rest Of the Thrush's com

ALL ABOUT A BUGGY WHEEL.

pretty trick played on him lately by
small negro boy he had in his en-
ploy, says 4 Waycros>. Ga, special to
the Savannah News The doctor has
a patient who has been seriously i'll
for some days, and he has been spend
ing the evenings up to or 10 o'clock
with his patient, and then his colored
boy would drive over after him and
carry him home. Last night the
doctor 5 valet was a little late about
coming. and he walked home. Very
soon after his arrival at home the boy
came and explained that he missed
the doctor by going anothe. street.
which explanation the doctor accepted
and let his boy off. who seemed to be
enjoying his last drink very much
Next morning Dr.. Hamrick wa ac-
costed on the street by a Mr. Walk y.
who wanted to know why the do2to..
came to his house the night before
and took off one OF his buggy wheels
and LETT broken one in its place
The doctor treated the matter a a
joke at first, and not knowing that he
had another mans wheel on his
buggy, but he found out later that
Mr.. v aiker was in earnest when he
meant to swear oHt a warrant for the
doctor for the theft of 4 wheel. The
doctor examined his buggy and found
that some one had practiced duplicitv
on him and he called on his negro
boy. who at first denied any knowl-
edge Of the whee,, but when threaten
ed with the lookup, said he started
after the doctor and some OF the BOYS
gave him drink or so and he thought
he would drive around while before
he went for the doctor. and while out
he ran against tree and broke the
doctors buggy wheel.
He WAS near Mr.. Walkers house,
and he took off the broken wheel and
put one of Mr.. Walkers on in it's
place. He drove on short distance
further and found the new wheel
would not work on the doctors buggy.
and he went to Hon. O.. l.. Reese's
buggy house and took wheel from
his buggy and put Walkers in the
place. He next carried the buggy
home. and on looking round he saw
that Colonel Recess wheel was black
and the doctors a different color, so
he procured some PANT and painted
the wheel the same color as the doc
tors wheels. The boy made clean
confession, and the only punishment
he got was about 100 lashes with a
good hickory. The doctor says it is
good joke on him.
