Approach Inc the roadstead of Nassau there is no harbor proper one sees in the bright sun light a collection of small houses without chimneys, the latter only being built to the smaller and detached kitchens, which are low and do cot appear in the scene. It is essentially tropical in the distance, and through the marine tjlasses we see the palm and coco.iuut with their bare and umbel liferous tops, and we aie assured that on a nearer inspection we will find plenty of cocoannts on thetrees, and are recommended to try the milt, which is not milty in the fresh green nut from the tree, but clear and delicious The passengers and baggage ore trans ferred to a tujboat in the roadstead, and, as the latter Tessel approaches the wharf, we see hundreds of the inhabitants of all colors, but mostly dark, standing in expectant anx iety. As this is the fortnightly steamer day, the only communication between this insu lar and the continental world, the English denizen is anxious to receive his letters, all, or most of which, come via Kew York. "Negroes On tlio Alert. The negro inhabitant, always on the alert for amusement and 'novelty, also awaits with breathless anxiety the vessel from Xew York, which latter he vaguely regards as the entire United States, and lor that matter the entire world, other than Nassau. On nearer approach the scene is more foreign and tropical in the extreme. Literally, the entire population is gathered under the cot ton nalms and pear trees; not our pear, but a variety which is not to us a pear at all, but something else. All the people are in light wearing apDarel, many of the men with the white, cool Indian helmet on their heads; many nnder snn umbrellas of bright colors, and the negroes all, male and female, large and small, clean, and their faces in a broad grin, showing beautiful teeth and chattering like so many monkeys. Many of the smaller and half-grown negro boys, guiltless of any other apparel than an apology for pants, but all clothine clean as possible. As ne slow up alongside the door there is a perfect babel of voices, among which the most vociferous are the greetings of the little negroes who recognize former visitors from whom they have re ceived gratuities, and one little fellow with not more than a fig leaf costume, and so black and shining that his face reflected the bright sun's rays, shouted from among a crowd of similarly clad comrades, "On, good Iio'd, I sees my Iren', Massa Cracker, on de ship." Then a chores lrom the same ganc, with accessions from the general mul titude, shout, "How is ya, Mas Cracker?" and wrangle and hustle one another, among all of which is heard: "I seed 'im firstl" "He's my fren'l" "Mine!" "I'se bis boy!" "You nigger, Massa Cracker won't have you, you bodder him; he tell me so las' year!" "Heah, I'se you boy, Massa Cracker, I'se waitin for you; t'rowa shillin' in de wata, Massa Cracker; I dive for him," and shillings, nicKels, pennies are one after the other cast into the clearest of deep bine sea water, and dozens of young black ras cals dart lrom the crowd and dive after them, and away down in the water they can be seen hustling one another, pulling one another's wool and shoving one another about and swimming and kicking like so many lrogs. All Polito and Vociferous. After an amazing long time, considering they are not altogether amphibious, they re appear on the surlace; the triumphant one holds un the coin as he gasps for breath. 'Mr. Cracter" was a Mr. Stinson, from Hamilton, Ontario, a jolly fellow, who gained this sobriquet lrom the darkies be cause he cracked jokes with them. The gangplank is now out, and we make our way tli much the crowds of negroes, all polite, hut roei erous in their desire to serve jou, and scolding one another for attempt ing to do the same service. "Ye pass through a long shed, or custom house, and emerge into a pretty shaded plaza, where snug little ponies are harnessed to pretty little light two-seated vehicles and their drivers, handsome and neatly clad young darkeys, again swarm around you fonr or five deep, and, as we enjoyed the novelty, we let them go on with their supplications lor a chance to "carry you, 'sa," There is a terrible din of wrangling, hut none of them seem to get mad and when a selection i finally made the lucky one and the stranger are made more or less the sub ject of light remark as to the transparent lack of good tvste and judgment they have shown, and at some apparent witticism on the part of one of the disappointed they all laugh heartily, but are still polite and jolly and ever ready to do you a service. "We stopped at the market and an old Kongo woman comes forward, with soup herbs to sell me. There are many of the original Africans here, as in the other British islands. These are recognized by their im po'ssible attempts to talk the English lan guage and their deep transverse facial scars. A Committee on Finance. The old Kongo Hdv had chiefly "Dot yarts" and various tropical fruit--, some of much 1 nought and tasted. 1 paid her in 5-cent nickels, which, after appointing a committee on finance from the other old market ladies, andagreatdeal of tome unin telligible chattering, and several of them putting the coins in their mouths, tasting and biting them and turning them over, two of them having some doubtlul assurance in their own minds that they were English shillings, they were finally returned to me with, "Massa, please gib de old lady good money." Later, as I was about to return the money to my pocket and the fruit and "pot varhs" to the old lady merchant, the oracle'of the market came up, and an old scarred-faccd Guinea negro, who called for a stay of pro ceedings and a knowledge of what was going on and asked for the privilege of handling the money. This he did before the admiring gaze of old and voung, biting at each piece and carefully carefully turning it over close to his only remaining eye, after which he coolly put the money in his own pocket and ordered, with a wave of his weather-beaten hand, that the goods should be put into the carriage. He was obeyed, and the old Kongo lady made a most obedient salaam. With both hands extended, she "prayed the good Lawd to bless sweet massa, and he would do it if the dear massa would only now give her a good shillin' to buy a new hat." A com promise was etiected with the bestowal of a couple more nickels, which were quickly relegated to the financial oracle for opinion, who pocketed them also in the midst of his abstraction in a businessconversation which he was then carrying on with two other de crepit darkies. The old woman turned to me with a dissatisfied grimace as we drove away, and she looked very sorrow fully at ber old, rimless male straw hat in her disappointment Tine Gardens Without SolL A drive through the town revealed gar dens absolutely without soil, trees and vege tables growing from the crevices and large pores of the coral limestone, of which the island of Uew Providence is entirely com posed, and how this limestone, which is so pure as to produce anywhere upon burning the most beautiful white lime, furnish plant food for the sparsely grown but excellent garden vegetables and plentiful saccharine tinp.ci! fiiut-. i. a -lottery that can only I.e. salted by the beliei mat ;ne ultiuate chem ical elements o'- i-aibonalc oi lime are broken up in nature's phy-a-ji chemical laboratory. The trees themselves are there transposed into the delicious sugary tropical traits, at which oa this island-there mast be a dozen or more delicious varieties, many of which, such as the "sour sap" and the safe nadillo, are never seen in the North. They don't bear transportation, but the negroes live on these fruits and sugar cane, and when a sugar cane has gone through the grinding mill of a darkey, there is little or no juice lei t. The Governor's house stands on a slight eminence, hut the highest point of this is land is not apparently over 100 or 200 feet, and like all the other buildings is made of the soft coral limestone which is sawed out of blocks lrom a quarry in the town. The house is a spacious and old-fashioned struc ture suited to the climate, with broad steps rising to a deep porch.and all window open ing shaded with jalousies 'or Venetian blinds! Beautiful tropical plants and flow ers abound, and the red hybiscus especially is resplendent in surroundings of tbe deepest green. The flowers of this plant are here more than three inches in diameter. The English Governor's Career. Sir Ambrose Shea, the English Governor of the Bahamas, is a gentleman who was formerly a merchant in Newfoundland and was appointed Governor of that province, which as yet is not a part of the Dominion of Canada for local reasons, but tbe New foundlanders objected so strongly to Sir Ambrose that he was sent to Nassau in stead. The ground of the objection seems to have been that fair AmDrose c-nea naa always lived among them and was charged with "having been guilty of offensive Catho lic partisanship, even" before he was an office holder. He was not to be tolerated by the Protestant Newfoundlanders, who were in the majority, but by the active support of JUord Denbigh, one of the few English Catholic peers, and a few others, he was pro vided lor as Governor of the Bahama Islands and performs the light and pleasant functions at a good salary, to his own com fort and the satisfaction ot the few perma nent inhabitants. He has exerted considerable influence in attracting attention to the planting of "sisal" upon the thousands of waste acres of barren rock. Sisal looks like the century plant, or aloe, and there are already several thousand acres in a healthful state of growth. The use of the "sisal" plant is to make a fiber, which is to be twisted into binder twine and other ropes not requiring the high tensile strength of the manilla rope, the latter being made from the fiber of the stalk of the "mesa textiles," a species of banana tree. Already the sisal is used by overshrewd ropemakers'as an adulterant or substitute for the manilla in making rope, but a simple test, that of burning a piece, is sufficient to detect the presence of sisal, it yieldinga white ash and the manilla a black one. It is, I believe, another variety of this sisal plant lrom which tbe "West Indians and Mexicans make the intoxicating drink called puloue. which later on in Mexico 1 expect also to personally investigate and pos sibly tell you of its effects, if pleasant. Two priests ontbe island, one a Father O'Kyan, and also a Protestant clergyman, have, I learn, been also active in planting sisal on tbe lands which have been cleared of tbe light growth of pine, which has been used to make charcoal. Propagating the Sisal. The young shoots of the sisal are stuck on tbe soft rock, which has beeu broken up a little in spots by means of a crowbar, and some leaf mold gathered round it to protect the new plant, and when started it sends its rootlets out through the porous rock to find its food. In three or four years it is ready to part with soma of its rough spines an nually, which are beaten or crushed, and about 30 per cent or less of the inner fiber comes out in tenacious threads, which are woven and twisted into twine. Two sons by a former marriage of Mr. Chamberlain, the English M. P. who mar ried Miss Endicott, have just purchased one or two entire islands of the Bahama group and intend to plant all in sisal. The sisal and cocoanut plantations present a very pretty sight in a drive across the islands; bat if some energetic Yankee wonld take up the cultivation of winter vegetables here they would find a good return. First of all they would probably, with their ingenuity for machinery, utilize a heavy steam power crusher instead of the crowbar with which to put tbe toft limestone into a pulverized condition on tbe surface in which it will remain, and if half be true of what is told here of the wonderful growth of vegetables, there ought to be dollars in it for persons who will go at it with the busi ness tact and energy that prevails with tbe Northern market gardener. Northwestern farming land is cheap, cheaper than the Government land of tbe United Statee, or rather the so ft porous rock there is no Ian d, strictly spcakiug. An old negro lady was pulling a luxuriant growth of tropical plants from a walled garden as I passed, leaving an unsightly surface of lava-like solid rock. I asked her what she was doing. "I'se wcedin' de gardin, massa," but the weeds look nice and the rock looks bare. "I gives de weeds to de mule and de goat, and more comes in a week or two." Konzos In a Dispute. Taking a cruise near Adelaide, an African village about 16 miles from Nassau, after getting out through the surf into the open sea, iu a whale boat, whose captain was a Kongo negro.and the crew three native, stalwart descendants of Africa, I soon ob served there was a slumbering sentiment of mutiny toward the Kongo captain, who ac cused one of the sailors "Sam" of "grum Iin." Sam re'plied: "I's not grumlin; I say noiiu now. but we's gwlne to settle wid you when you'sc done wid de white man." "You i grumlin," said the captain, "not loud, but wid you face pulled down black and I won't stan' it aud we's gwine to settle it right now and I kin tell you, Sam, you'se no gemmen, else you'd say right out what's de matta wid you." "Yes, I is a gemmen; I knows when I is gemmen. You'se no gem men yonsef to call me shout for de grapplin when I'se shoutin wid two lungs and I knows how loud a man kin shout wid two lungs as good's you." "No you do'an, Sam, no you do'an. You'se no gemmen when you ac so. I want you ketch de grapplin to keep de ship oFn tie rocks. You a gemmen in yea'hs, but you a chile atdebres when you ac so. I knows what ails you, Sam, you'se tired; you want res an you'se goin to get res. You'se been a sailin wid me in dis here whale-ship fer fo' yeas, and I knowd dis mawnin you didn't want to come nohow an why didn't you say so like a gemmen. In dis yere high win you'se got to shout when I'se cap'n an you knows it." As they all had long knives in their belts I was glad I also had a 38-caliber revolver at hand in case of emergency, but, like most of their auarrels, it was chiefly in words; but Sam's eyes flashed fire as he sullenly but loudly replied to the captain of the wbaleboat that doubtless never saw a whale, and after the wind and war subsided the captain informed me he could get away wid Sam any day, and that "dese 'Merican Nassau niggers were not mnch good any mo'; dey didn't want to work," and I be lieved the captain.

We give below the article by Joseph Brown in tbe Reporter, March 10, and tbe readers or The .dispatch will see for themselves what Mr. Reed has dared to do in the face of such conclusions. There is a little knowledge ot the game outside of Boston and Rhode Island; enough to keep the champion ship In the West. The Masters and Their Critics. A period ot nearly six months has passed since the completion of the match between Freeman and Barker at Providence. At the finish of tbe match it was tbe verdict of those who bad witnessed the games that they were the finest specimens ot draughts skill ever pro duced ln-a match. Asopportunity was afforded them to Judge by the circulation of the little pamphlet containing the games, experts throughout the world unanimously confirmed this opinion. It is a fact worthy of note that as yet not a single'correction, or even an improvement, has been made upon the play of these masters of the science. Fow indeed have been tbe at tempts at criticism, most players fully recog nizing the weighty nature of such a task. One modest aBnlrant for fame startled the world by the announcement that be had scarcelv opened tbe book when be discovered that Freeman had a win in hand in one of tbe games that was drawn. His play, however, was summarily disposed of, and he was advised to keep tbe book open a little longer. Some one attempted to show, in tbe Dundee Ftovle't Journal, an Improvement on one of the Fife games, but he was evidently nut familiar with tbe play of Wyllie aud Yates on the same line, and Free man quickly pointed out the inferiority of the play. Even the draw play in the two games won bv Freeman has not vet reached the pub lic print. Indeed, so extremely critical are tbe Kelso and Second Double Cornor lines won in the match that it is donbtf ul if a correct anal ysis is made for some time to come by anyone willing to give it to the public.

' PLACES OF TRUST. urns mtoson coak, jl v., oh the PE0PEE QUALIFICATIONS. Another of tho Series of Letters for Young Citizens Practice and Theory Combined Secnre the Best Results Advantages of a ni;her Education. rWBITTBN TOB TOT PIS PATCH. 1 My friend, Mr. A. S. Hewitt, is reported to have said: "If I had been a politer man than I am, I might have been President of tbe United States." Whether the story is true or not, it raises an interesting point Is politeness, then, a qualification for a place of public trust? for pnblic trust, I suppose, is what is meant by the qnestion announced. For attaining a place it certainly is. If we change the word and call it tact, we shall have one of the most important qualifications for retain ing public place the point may be dis missed without further ' consideration as being incontrovertible. In every subject there are a number of evident or admitted trnths which one need not spend long in dis cussing; they are old acquaintances whom we nod to familiarly as we pass, we speak their name and let them go. So in naming the qualifications for places of trust, it is enough to name honesty, ability and tact. Honesty aa a matter of course, and with it as much tact as we can get. An honest man without ability, or au able man with out principle, is equally misplaced and equally dangerous. And a man who has no tact-will not win his place, or having got it, will not hold it long even if he be both honest and able. So mnch for the commonplaces of the sub ject. My readers, I think, will agree with me so far. The real discussion begins when we come to consider the different kinds of ability that may be in qnestion the variety of intellectual qualifications for public duties. And the controversy turns mainly upon tbe question between the technically- educated man and the man ot practical ex perience; between the fair competition of those qualified by education 'for places of trnst on the one hand, and on the other tbe rougher natural selection or example of the practical man in politics. Not a Very Satisfactory Doctrine. Some philosopher says "the fools ate right in the long run." This is to say that in practice tbe rougher methods usually prevail in the domain of politics. But this is not very satisfactory doctrine. What does it mean? It means that things have their own way general foros rather than individual ideas, and that any fine-spun re forms are not viable. Tbe average sense or nonsense not the refined intelligence, is what rules our politics. "Well, this is undoubtedly true for the most part, and in tbe deep sense it is inevit able like everything else. It is especially true in a democracy like our own that things have their own way, and follow the will of tbe rough shod. In politics at least genius is mainly an afiUir of energy. But is this a sufficient theory of fitness for public life? Keed we drive at practice so utterly and exclusively as to leave all theory out of sight? From the dusty arena of the praotioal man cannot we recapture some breathing ground for intelligence? Here we come to the parting of the ways between those who debate the qualifications for places of trust between thoseina word, who think that experience is all, and those who argue that general intelligence, even high culture, are desirable qualifications. It is the old debate between theory and prac tice. From the time when sailors first went down to the sea to the twelfth century, the art of beating a ship to windward was un known. One had to sail with the wind or not at all. Ships and fleets waited in definitely for a favoring wind; the lack of it was one of the many causes that delayed that ruler of men, Ulysses, on his homeward way from Troy. By and by, we may sup pose, came theorists who argued that it was possible to sail against the wind men who were first laughed at and then persecuted; and when at last tyeir invention was adopted, the old navigators unanimously said, "We all knew it before." This, as we know, is the experience of ev.ery man or community who lets ideas run ahead of practice, as opposed to tbe plan of going ahead at any rate, and picking up such ideas as one can in going. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages; each one indeed completes tbe other. But in our time and civilization there is no dan ger that the practical will be neglected. The danger is that our public men will not be sufficiently prepared from the intellectual side to cope with tbe practical. Advantages of Higher Education. I would advocate, then, among tbe main qualification for public office, not only the training by experience but also the intel lectual training that comes of a good college course or from continued private study. The man who has these, is by no means under compulsion to turn out a Solon, What is so rare, under any regime, as a wise ruler? But the man who has stndied and reflected is far likelier to direct wisely the flow of forces around him than if he comes among them blinded by the dust of passion, prejudice and controversy. The forces of politics exist for themselves; they dominate and absorb all but tbe men who have both natural power and wise training. To a question stated in such general terms as the present, it is hard to give any specific and definite answer. It is not a question to be answered in a phrase. If a "theoretical" man in the ordinary sense is not the right man for a place of trust, neither is a merely "practical" man. Of good theory and of good practice we cannot have tdo much. Jefferson was a fine type ot a public man; fall of ideas, full of energy, he made him self instantly and permanently effective. A still better type was Marcus Aurelius, who brought tbe widest culture of tbe time and the highest power of thought to his great position, both by natural endowment and by education he bad the highest gifts. We re quire both at the hands of our rulers. The more of natural force, the more fruitful ex perience, tbe better. Uihil human! a me alienum should be the motto of the public man. In honesty, energy, tact; in the highest education, both special and general, and in the widest experience, are the sufficient qualifications lor places of public trust. Titds Mtnson Coan.

To Cure La Grippe now prevalent, no medicine has greater success than r's Cherry Pectoral It soothes inflammation, gives instant relief, and, if taken promptly, Is a'Sure Remedy AFTERJFFECTS Of La Grippe Can Be Eradicated From the System, THE PROPER METHOD, The dreaded La Grippe, whlcn has again made its appearance m Pittsburg. Chicago and other parts of the country, is nothing more or less than a catarrhal fever. It is no new trouble, and belongs distinctively to that fault ily of diseases in wnicb Drs. Copnland and Blair's treatment has won distinction by its se ries of success! nl xesnlts. It differs from the more typical cases of ca tarrh, in that the marked nervous depression which prevails is out of proportion to the grav ity of tbe catarrhal symptoms. In tbe majority of cases wbere the results have been serious the patient has been a sufferer from chronic ca tarrh which left the system so weakened by Its stealthy action that it was in no condition to withstand the attack of La Grippe. We be lieve there are comparatively few instances wbere people free from catarrhal affections have felt any of tbe effects of La Grippe. In almost every case tbe disease leaves a sys temic catarrhal condition, indicating by Its action systemic poisoning, resulting in chill, headache, great depression of both mental and physical strength and energy coupled with the usual catarrhal systoms. Nearly every caseof La Grippe renders the patient liable to chronic bronchitis, which in variably leads to consumption. There is no question but at this season of the year, when the disease is known to oe prevalent, people should take means to check the progress of catarrhal troubles, and if possible eradicate from the system every symptom of catarrhal poisoning. Mr. William Mawmnny, nouer matter at tne Ft. Wayne shops, living at 19 Overlook street, Allegheny, says: William Mawhinny, 19 Allegheny. Overlook street. "I suffered for two years. Mr head was al ways paining me. I bad ringing noises in the ears. My eyes were weak and watery. Both nostrils were stopped up. Had to hank and spit up constantly to keep my throat clear.
