“In the strongest language they con- demned a provincialdebt. In five years they bave added over a quarter of a million of dollars to our debt.

“They solemnly professed that they could manage our affairs without taxation. In three years they have taken from the people over one hundred and thirty-eight thousand dollars in taxes.

Color Blindness.

The term color blindness implies an entire absence of the color sense, and there are a few persons who are in this condition, but it also includes all the forms of partial color blindness in which the perception of one of the fundamental colors—red, green and violet—is wanting, and which are known as red blindness, green blind- ness and violet blindness. The line be- tween these various kinds of color blind- ness and a perfect perception of colors is not sharply drawn, so that a large number of persons have what ts called a feeble color sense, which falls short of actual color blindness. There is no doubt that color blindness in its vari- ous forms is much more common than is generally supposed, and it is more common among the imperfectly than the well educated classes, and it is, cu- riously enough, still more common among Jews and Quakers, probably from hereditary causes. It is ten times more frequent among males than fe- males in the general population, but among Quakers it is nearly the same in both sexes. In the general popula- tion 4-16 per cent, or about | male in every 25, are color blind.—New York Ledger.

Lampreys.

In the rivers and lakes of New York state there is a bandit fish that roams at large and makes its living by robbing the gentlemen fish. Iteven attacks such vigorous fish as the black bass and the pickerel, fastening iteelf to them and sucking their blood until they are dead. The name of this bold bandit is the laraprey. Professor Gage of Cornell university has seen 12, 0% of these lam- preys spawning at one time in the out- let of Cayuga lake alone, and he has es- timated that they kill more fish than all of the fishermen of the state put togeth- er. The lamprey is about the size and has somewhat the appearance of an eel. Professor Gage advises some manner of killing them by means of traps in the streams as they go up in the spring to spawn.

Another Record Broken.

“Good evening, Miss Flitters! How do? Ll expected to be called out of town today, but wasn't, and as I have seats for the theater I thought you might like to go. It is dreadfully late for an invi- tation, I know, but’’—

**It is 26 minutes past 7.’’

“I will be ready in five minutes.’’

THK JUBILEE CKLEBRATION.

Notes of an Intelligoat and Impartial Spec. tator,

The London correspondent of the New York Post, who has made a special study of the Jubilee, in all its bearings, and whose criticisms we have more than once already quoted, deals with both questions ina@ recent Jeuer, He commences with the remark that che outsiders present, who witnessed what went on in London, were impressed with three things: (1) the orderliness and good humor ot the immense crowd; (2) the profound reverence of the British people for their Queen, and (3) the absolute indifference ofthe Britishers to what other nations might think of what they were doing. ‘There was some evidence of desire 1o please the colonials present, but pobody seemed to care a baw- bee what Frenchor German, Turk or Russian thought or said about the matter. Asto the probable effects of the whole aflair the correspondent writes:

That this celebration will result in bind- ing the colonies to the mother country by ties more indisso!uble than any other event could possibly form, is beyond doubt. But another result, which was less aimed at, is, 1f anything, more apparent. A diplo- matist aud a close observer of European tendeucies said the other day, “ England has gained more within the last week than if she had won a great battle.’ And he was right. The undercurrent of continental jealousy and latent antagonism is overborne by an irrestatible feeling of admiration for the patriotie virtues of this people, of re- spect fur the unsuspected resources of this vast and mighty empire. During recent years nothing was more constant in Euro- pean politics than the belief that Frauce uad Russia combined could rive! British tea power, Apart from the notorious fact that no one in France bas sufficient courage, or sufficient sense of public duty, to dis- turb pleasant delusions by meking dis- agreeable truths known, it is certain that the policy of selfdisparagement, re- sulting in those periodical _ panics whereby the British admirality extorts from parliament the necessary fuvds for the increase of the thet, went far to confirm the notion preva'ent across the channel, that France could keep pace with the gigantic growth of the British navy, while at the same time rivaling Germapy’s land armaments, Last Satur- day’s review in the Solent was sufficient to convince thinking Frenchmen that they must give up the race; and the admissicn has been couched in very careful terms byfthe Temps: “Between great historica) nations, as between great families, there is a kind of freemasoury of the past which traneforms tne memories of former con- flicts and enables us to feel with a noble disinterestedness the patriotic grandeur of the Spithead review.”

What was the most impressive was pot alone the fact that a fleet-o stupendous could he breugnt into line, but that it emerged from two or three barbors and shipyards, fully manned, equipped, and rerdy for action, without auy apparent effort, and without a sipgle ship being called home from the various equadrons which maintain the hegemony of England over the waters of every part of the globe. No other naval power can boast of a similar strength, ot equal nobility, or of like efficiency in its fleet. It is a etare of things which, even by the most unstinted outlay, cannot be achieved in a generation ortwo, It is the outcome of a secular tra- dition, carefully fostered, and of the condi- tious ou which the yery existence of this country as a world wide empire, aye,as an independent kingdom, rests. It is the gra- dual growtbof a thousand years, since the day when, according to the Saxon chronicle, King Alfrea gave orders to build long *hipe against the Eske, which

! were almost twice as long as the others.

Some had sixty oars, some more, and they were both ewifter and steadier, and also higber than others.” Other powers have successfully claimed, and temporarily or partially held, the mastery of the seas. But no nation hes ever maintained a trad- ition so unbroken, or has persisted eo con- stantly in its efforts to attain to that indis- putable “ Thalaseocratia” which is now absolutely England’s own. Her immense but ecattered empire cau be held together only as Jong as she remains invincible on the sea, and her voice in the councils ot the European powers can have weight only if it be backed by aforce which can reach the shores of them all.

Tt is eaid that the American admiral’s verdict on the maguificent and inspiring display at Spithead was that “ it makes for peace,” and his Austrian colleague ad- ded that it would pave that ettect more potently than a bundred diplomatic notes.’

ui S'HIPWRECK HORRORS

_

| Peathsfrom Fever—Caston Rocks Isolated on @ Sand Island,

LiverPooL, July 12.—The correspond- ent of the As+ociated Press has had an in- terview with Mrs. Andrew Christie, widow of Capiain Christie of the wrecked British ship Traveller, which went on the ‘reefs off the Island of Rodriguez, the Indian

Ocean, 330 miles northeast of Mauritus, } On the fourth of February last. Mrs. | Chriszie tells a terrible story of the suffer- | ing of the survivors.

Almost immediately after the survivors left the Delawere Breakwater the Java fever broke and spread rapidly Everv- body on board was mcre or less affected, including the Christie baby, which died and was buried at sea. Another victim jJeaped overboard and was drowned.

Ou December 14, the chief officer died and on December 20, Captain Christie suc- cumbed to the dreadful! disease. The second mate then decid: dt steer for Mau-

riuus and when the Traveller finally ap- proached Rodriguez island, only these two reamen were able to work the ship. A pilot put out from the island, but on learn- ing the state of affairs refused to go on board and returned to the shore, where he spread the report that everybody on the

Traveller had yellow jack. Houre naseed

fearing the Traveller would go ashore, launched a boat and took the sick eurvi- vors with a view of landing them. The govervor and inhabitants of the island rushed down to the shore aad threatened to shoot them if they landed.

The mate appealed to them, inploring them if they were Christians not to be- have inhumanly. He eaid that his men were too weak to pull back tothe sbip, and that if they succeeded in getting there they would probably be drowned. He asked for assistance to take the Traveller out of her dangerous position and begged for medicine.

His appeals were roughly ignored and he was obliged to put about and go back to the vessel, which they reached almost dead with exhaustion and despair. The last man had scarcely quitted the row boat when it was swept away and lost.

No assistance came, and that night the Traveller was carried upon the reefs and wrecked. The next morning the Rodri- guez people senta pilot and brought off Mrs. Christie and her surviving children and others. Then, with the assiat- ance of blacks on the island, the survivors were taken to a desolate island, where they were kept for twenty-two days, living in hute made of leaves and with nothing but leaves to lie upon.

So fearful were the Rodriguez people of contact that the food for the survivors was transferred from boat to boat before it was finally left upon the beach of the Sand Island. Blacks were sent to cook it, but no physician came for a fortnight, and even when bedid come, according to Mrs. Christie, he did not land, but examined the sick through a gless from his boat.

Meanwhile two had died and the second nate was the only man strong enough to dig their graves. On the twenty second day, realizing that the monsooo would soon submerge the sand island, the Rod- riguezers moved the unfortunates to Rodriguez, there they remained two months and were well] treated. From that point they were carried to Mauritivs and then proceeded homeward.
