The Ashburton Guardian. Magna est Veritas et Prævalebit. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1888. UNHAPPY ROYALTY.

" Uneasy" lies the head that wears a crown," is one of the most hackneyed of quotations, but it must be an ever-pro sent experience with their Majesties of Russia. Gf the present Emperor's pre decessors, but few have died, m their beds, and of those few it is doubtful as to whether their end was not brought about by foul means. Daring all his reign the now ruling Czar hns bean sur rounded by deadly enemies whose con stant plotting it requires incessant vigilance- to defeat— even his coronation had to be deferred for many months lest it should be the opportunity ot the assassin, and the strain of the excessive watchfulness which has been maintained by himself as well as by his immediate attendants must have told its talo upon him, magnificent as is his physique. 1 hat this has been the case there is not wanting evidence to show, as for ex ample m bifi.shooting one of his equerries a few months ago under the impression that he had detected him m a threaten ing gesture or hostile movement. And if this life of vigilance and anxiety has told upon the Czar, it is natural that it should have operated even more power fully upon the amiable lady who chares with him the dangerous dignities of the • ussian Imperial throne, and At is, therefore, not surprising to read m recent cablegrams that the Czarina is suffering from melancholia, that she wishes to leave Russia, and that it is believed that unless her wish is yielded to, her mind will become permanently af fected. If it be true that the unhappy condition of her Majesty is mainly at tributable to the recent accident on the Azov railway, and reading this together with the further intelligence that the accident has also had a depressing effect on the Czar, we are forced to the con clusion that probably the so-called " ac cident " was not really an accident at all. It is unlikely that the Czar as well as the Czarina would be affected with melancholia as the mere consequence of a train run at too high a speed becoming derailed and capsizing, though we can quite understand that thfs result might be brought about if it his been dis covered, that the. disaster was ;inten tionally caused and only failed of the fatal effect desired, because this would only be one more proof of the unwearied and implacable efforts of the Nihilufc and other organisations, whoso eventual triumph their Imperial Majesties have only too much reason to dread. Read ing between the lines of the cablegram it is plainly to be seen that there was more m this so called railway accident than has yet been made known to the world. ■■<*■"' ' - :

Letters for the following persons from plnces ' beyond the oolony were received at the Ash burton Post Office during the month of Ootober, and are now lying unolaimed: — D. Crawford, Thomas Prendergast. In a speech delivered at the Into convention of the 0.Y.M.N.U., m Cincinnati, Dr'Rudd, editor of the " Catholio Tribune " (coloured), said that there were two hundred thousand pr&ctioal Catholics of the negro raoo m the United States . .. ; . ' Two young Germans m Berlin fought a duel with tricycles. Starting at three hundred yards apart, they charged full tilt against eaoh other, with alight injury to themselves and serious "hurts to their machines. Their honor was saliefied. The three sons of the Emperor of Brazil have created a litora'ry pastime" b'f'"tlieir'''bWt£' by editing, oomposing, and priming a journal which they oail "The Imperial Mail." It is at t:. slavery m its ideas. — The- respective ages of tbeae apoatlea of freedom are twelve, ten, and seven. The following quaint epitaph on husband and wife—-the husband having didd first—is to be seen m one of the Parisian cemeteries: " I am anxiously expecting you—A.D. 1827." •'Hete I am— AD., 1867." - So the Rood woman was forty years m making up her mind to follow kpr husband. . A citizen stood m an unsteady way gazing at a front door the other night, and another belated who passed that way halted and asked : '• Looking for the key-hole, old fel low?" "Ohee-hole?" "Yes." "No.sur; I've goz way beyond zhat, sur. I'm looking for 'er door itself. Sheems to be too many of 'em here." : Says the " Akaroa Mail ": —Cheese is really up m price at last. We hear of one farmer, at Pigeon Bay, who got 7d dear for a lot of this season's make at Sydney. The price realised woe lOd, 3d going m expenses. Another farmer at Head of Bay was offered 5d for all his 301 b cheeses by a Ohristchuroh buyer. As a oonsequenoe of the advance of wheat and flour the Ashburton bakers have raised the prioe of bread to 7d the 41b loaf, being an advance of Id. At Wellington the adr vance baa been only; at Oamarn 2d (from 6d to 8d), at Blenheim and Hokitika the same as m Aehburton, viz., from Gd to 7d. In Chriatohuroh tne prioe is 6d for cash, 7d {(booked; Mr Alexander Beok, Consul for Belgium, suggests that the Government and agricul tural associations should enoournge the'pre servation of eggs for export. He has success fully preserved'eggs by extracting the air from their air chambers and replacing it with gas azote or nitrogen. Eggs so treated, after being kept for eight months, were sent to Belgium, whioh they reaohed m perfeot order, though not sent m a cool chamber. Some locally grown desert apples, packed by Mr Young, fruiterer, and stored sinoe last Maroh, have been sent to the •• Lyttelton Times" offioe. They are m excellent oondition, and were paoked by Mr Young m order to prove that with proper care and attention apples from Canterbury can b* 'placed on';the English market m a condition fit to compete with the importations from California and eleawhere. The • Christian World' makes tha following statement: —"When the wealthy distiller who built the Presbyterian Ohuroh at Belfast (referred to by Canon Wilberforce) lay dyingi the Moderator of the General Assembly, then m session, took occasion to speak against the liquor traffic The dying distiller, on hearing this, sent for his lawyer and added a oodioil to hie will revoking a. legaoy of £50,000.which he had left to the Irish Presbyterian Churoh."

Of course, if the Mahdi diverts the Nile he throttles Egypt. We have not yet saen the last of the fatal consequences of.refusing to give General Gordon a free hand.

Well it may! It will be observed that the] above has since been confirmed by a Press Asuooiation tele gram, which appears iv another column. _ The " Mataura Ensign " states that the rise m oats was so rapid that Borne farmers failed to keep quite level with, the news. A buyer for a 'Dunediri firm went'up from Gore m the direotion of Waikaka at the end of last week, and he had the luck" to Surprise several farmers who do not keep themselves posted up m the latest information as well as they ought to do.

At a meeting last night he said he was astonished at the growth of land nationalisation m England. Referring to Irish affairs, George said that the attempt of the ' Tories to compensate Irish landlords showed that they realised the necessity of dealing with the problem. He approved of taxing the landlords out of Ireland rather than kicking them out. In the j course; of George's -address he was interrupted by a clamor at the back of lhehall,from whence he was called upon to explain his action m approving of hanging the Chicago dynamitards, " I approved of that course being taken," said George", " because those men were nothing better than murderers," and this declaration was received with deafening cheers from the audience.

A LARGE AMERICAN DUCK FARM

. ~ — : ' "♦ .' " L-;. ; :. ; Tha « Poultry Keeper " famishes the , following In rala-lon to Mr Rankln'a duck farm. Mr Rsnkin says :~ We have got out the present season aome 7000 duoks, chicks, and goslings. Over 2000 daoklin^a have already gone to s market-. We have 1000 of the choicest re e served for breeding purpoieß, 600 of whloh c are already engsged at prfoeß considerably i t above their market valae. The maximum 3 prioos obtained for duokllnga were 30 , cents per pound ; r the minimam, 15 cents; •" the average, about 21 oenta. Careful estimates and rape.ued experiments have oonvincad ua that ducks can be put upon d the market at a cost to the growsr of not ; . over five cents per ppuad. As these , d^ckllogs when qareluliy fed, are readj s for market when nine or ten weeks old, _ it follows that three months from the time when the mioblnea are filled with s eggs the ducklings are pot upon the market at a profit of over 400 per cent on all iavsstments ' . .:. We wintered the past - season 150 dacka. • with the proper comp'ement of drakes. ] Those ducks commenced leying January a Ist, and up to tbe.prfsmt time' have fur uished ua with 18,450 eggs, or a little ' more than 123 egga each. The hlrda are now moulting, and are giving u 3 about a dozen egga pop day. '< In October, when they recover plumage, they will oommenoe laying, and can be relied upon for about 1 30 eggs eacb, which will' 'give at least 150 p eega per. dock for the season. We will s aay here that oar best hens and e?g pro dacera have never equalled the record of our duoka either aa winter or summer leyeraw Onr young ducks, hatched M«tah 15th, oommenoed laying Auguat Ist, and have been laying ever since.' We are getting quite a bsaket of egga dally from these yonng duoka. Of tha 18.4E0 egg» above referred to, come 4000 of them we j used for pnrpoaea of Inonbation, and the reat were all sold at remunerative prices for othora to hatch. Mauy of oue orders 1 -we were quite unable to fill. Many bom » plain of losing their duokllu'gs through ■ weakness la their legs and Inability to t stand, Thip, we think, la owing to too . highly concentrated food. The natural food of the dook In Its wild state la grass r and flish of all kinda. Thia can be Bup plemented by a grain dle^, compoaed of ■ equaV parta of good wheat, " bran, and ; oornmeal, with plenty of vegetables of all i kinds— potatoes, turnips, beets, oabbage, • etc. We fed one buahel of cookad turnipa , per day throughout the entire winter, mixed with meal, shorta and beef scrapa. Dacka will not thrive on an exclaalve grain diet . They are grass feeders, re quiring a larger quantity of feed than hetjß, bnt.are not particular ai to qaality. We grow our young dncka In yards of; about 10 by 100/ tin extent, putting 100 to each yard. It is absolutely neceseary to o jnfipo them thus, as they will not only ihi theilr fleah 6fF, bat will greedily eat all manner of Ineeota which they do not atop 'to kill, and too often pay the penalty with their lives.

The duoka thrive upon the inseots, ehade, and falling leaves, and bo eurioh the ground that the treoß are loaded with large, fair fruit, Our dnoklingß dreea upon an aver ago of five pounds at nine weeka old, so that wo usually grow two and sometimes three crops of them on the same land each season. Theae yards are ploughed up and re-aeeded with grass and rye m the fall, the crop, of course, diainfectlng ; the ground, besldea furnishing green food for the young dnoklinga dnrtog the early spring. We . feed largely during the summer on green corn fodder, whloh is out up fine, The young blrda not on'y fatten on It readily, but seem to enjoy it hugely, especially the stock. We are carefnl not to feed more than the blrda will eat dean, and if too m,uq.h ia fed gather up the i residuum, Our losses wlth^ ducklinga have not averaged more than one per oenfc for the hat two years, and that mostly by accident.

SPEECH BY LORD SALISBURY.

I LoNDpw November 30. 1 Lord Salisbury-delivered a political £ address at Edinburgh Jast night,:-and j was received with much enthusiasm. He said he believed Mr Gladstone had no plan of Home Rule: ready. To i separate the legislatures. of the \two i- countries would involve ehtjre. separa- J tion, and endanger the safety' of Eng j. land. The result would , probably ,' be civil war m Ireland itself.; Looking 9 at every consideration, Home Rule j .was; he' contended^ absolutely impos • sible, hence it h^d been considered ad ? visable to make the Crinaes Act perma -8 heat. If only Scotland were, against the Home Rule policy, it would col lapse. He stated m conclusion next session would be occupied .chiefly with Scotch business. ..!
