Calais and Its Lighthouse.

Calais is rather an untidy place for a French town. The Place d'Armes, where the tower of the Hotel de Vile has remained since the fifteenth cen tury. is the center spot Here Calais meets it's friends and has it's cafe noir. In the square, towering out of the roofs of surrounding houses and dwarfng them, is the old watchtower. Since 1S4S it has been superseded as light house by the magnificent one at pres ent in use. Never shall forget the eff feet of this lighthouse as I stood under it that night. The revolving spokes of light cast away into filmy space in all directions, looked like the ribs of huge umbrella being turned by the white handle, which was the lighthouse tower. So tall is this that its revolving light can be seen from a distance of twenty miles at sea.-Wide World.

Value of Reading.

There is perhaps nothing that has a greater tendency to decide favorably or unfayorably respecting mans intel lect than the question whether or not he be impressed with an early love of reading. Books gratify and excite our curiosity in innumerable ways. They force us to reflect. In a well written book we are presented with the ma turest reflections or the happiest flights of a mind of uncommon excellence. It is impossible that we can be much ac- customed to such companions without attaining some resemblance to them William Goodwin.

JloY 1875 concerning Po9toTs and
Cart1@en IN the Ioarns Of st. Crol~.
In Ordinance Nr. II of 18th May 1875
concerning Porters and Cartmen in the

ntents are made:

So.
This Ordinance shall come into force
one month after having obtained Royal
sanction.
The Chairman (~Stohemann.) I suppose
the hon. Members understand what it
means, the matter has been we'll sifted,
and we may adopt it without discussion.
Tho Despatching Secretary (JFtH Jacob
SEM On behalf OF the Governor I lay
this Draft before you and recommend it
for adoption.
l3t. Member for Frederiksted Town
(Coader.) AS the member who brought
IN this Ordinance, [ am much astonished
1T its fate. [ am not q Lawyer much less a
Philadelphia Lawyer. It seems to me
rather discouraging when q Member shows
interest in bringing in an Ordinance and
it is adopted, then to keep it back for 6
months before the final drawing up takes
place. The Draft was framed during the
meeting by His Excellency the Governor
and under my auspices written down.
The Chairman (Stahemann) The hon.
Member need not take the blame, oil the
Members and perhaps Government must
be blamed. The LIST. and the 3rd Member
for Christiansted Town have the most
blame.
A heading is not a Law. The Ordinance
of 1875 ought to have been embodied in
the Draft. I must take my blame. AS
there were to be changes, Government
might just as well have called the attention
to a correct framing.
The Despatching Secretary (WW Jacob
SEM The alteration which the Governor
proposed were amendments
lst. Member for Frederiksted Town
(CouAer). 1 must acknowledge the whole
matter seems to me very peculiar. The
highest legal Authority makes a correction
in the Draft, and still it is wrongly drawn
up. The hon. Secretary says, that the Gov
ernor only corrected it, it might have been
we'll, if it had been corrected entirely at
the same time.
3rd Member for Christiansted Town
(Naelsen). It was not a proposal brought
in by Government. I don't think we can
blame the Government, but must blame
overselves.
