With the most populous section of Maiyland at its    head    and  the most populous section of Virgjin- ,  ia at  its mouth, andt> flanked on eith \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  ei side  by thickly inhabited countiy-.  the Chesapeake has been the operat- ,  ing ground for  tens of thousands of  men,\" who have  found the oyster industry t'he most profitable   field    to  which\" they  could  turn   their    hand.  With few restrictions provided by the  laws of    the two states, the   oyster  beds have had little  protection,  and  it is not stiange    that,  with     constant drainage by  thc hosts of money-making    oystcrmen,    these     beds  should have declined.  One consequence of the falling off  in the annual oyster crop has been  the slow dwindling of the nu-mlib^r of  men eng-vged in the industry. On the  eastein shoie of Maryland, thc logical home oi thc Chesapeake pyster-  mcu, hundreds have abandoned tho  business and turned their attention  to other, pursuits. Canning as_a^^#h-  juients in that section, which flourished as -a 'giecn bay tree a few-  years ago, have been dedicated to  new puiposes, and there <ue other  signs indicative of the present comparatively slow icsponse of the oyster fields.  Still there is no evidence that the  bay will not furnish a large crop  of oysteis of good quality this season. The oystei pioplvet has not,  pioved infallible, and the best in-  founcd men in the business generally admit that only with lhe first  returns fiom the field of action can  anything like a conect prognostication he made. It is foi this reason that so much intetest is taken  in the first icccipts. Predictions  based upon the miality of these, and  the circumstances, under which they  were taken, will have more weight  than all the estimates aiid all tho.  opinions Hut have preceded.  One big handler of oysters in Baltimore has undertaken to get up an  advanced summary of the situation  through a series of 100 letters to  the best informed oystcrmen in the  state\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe men who do Hie actual  work of hauling the bivalve from  the deep\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdaud whose experience in  this work for long years should  make them, of all .men, the best  qualified to speak on this subject.  The letters propounded a scries of  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdquestions pertaining to conditions in  the various oyster sections. This  man said to a correspondent or the  New York Commercial:  \"I have received answers from  about ninety of these, men, and 1  must confess I am more in the dark  than ever.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdNew York Commercial,, THE LADYSMITH   DAILY  LEDGER  \/  THI:      ftAiLY   Lifi>G3?K  Pi jllrt-f   every   day   except Sunday  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBT-  ItlE DAILY LEDGER  COMPANY.

P. of Itos-  aland, arrived in ' Victoria Thursday  evoming and is^a guesti at the Driard.  The leader of the opposition in the  local House has private business to  transact and says he does not expect  to get away from Victoria before  Sunday at least. The prospect of an  early appeal)to the electorate by the  local go-veminent docs not appear to  bo disturbing, Mr. MacDonnld in thc  least. fJc rather <-eems 10 welcome  the chance to meet the Premier and  his following on the hustings, having  no. doubt as  fo  iho results  .ON THE SPIRE.  ' When James Freeman Clarke was  a young man he visited Sahsbmy,  England. Heie thc beautiful cathedral lifts its spire dUl feet into the  air. The spite is topped hy a ball  and on the ball stands a cioss.  From thc ground thc ball looks like  an * orange, . but its diameter is really greater than a man's height.  Workmen were lcpairing the spiie.  All*. Clarke saw tiieni crti'wling  lound the slim steeple in the golden  afternoon like bugs on a bean stalk.  The impulse came to him to climb  thc spire and stand on thc horizon-'with  tal beam of the cross. Accordingly,  at dusk, when the woikmen had lclt  the young American slipped in and  made his way up the stairs to the  little window which opened to the  workmen's staging. To run up thc  soafloJdiiig to the (ball was easy.  .Then came the slightly more bulging curve of the ball. A sho t *:!\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.-  lorm gave -him a foothold. He  j cached up, put his hands on the  base of the cross and pulled himself  ,up. To gain the cioss aim was  meicly \"shinning\" up a good sized  tree, .and soon he stood on^thc horizontal timber, and, reaching up, -he  touched ,the  top of the cross.   .  After enjoying his moment of exaltation he slid to the foot of the  cross, and, with his aims round thc  jiost, slipped down over the great  abldomen of the -b_.il. His feet  thoched nothing. The lit Lie pi. >.k  from which he had icached up was  not tiiere!  Here was a peiil and one for a  cool head and a sure eye. Of cour.se  he could not look down. The hugging hold that he had to keep on  tlie bottom of the cross shoitcned  the reach of his body and muulc it  less than when he had stood on the  plank and reached up . to the cross  .with his hands. He must drop so  that his feet should meet the plank,  for he would never be able to pull  himself back if he coo iid let Inn  self down at arms' length, and his  ieet hung over empty air.  Now his good head began to work.  He looked up at the cross and tried  to recall exactly the angle at which  he had reached for it, to .make   his  memory tell him just how thc edge  of that square post had appealed.  A few inches to the right or left  would mean dropping into vacancy.  Bending his head away back, lie  strained his eye up the cross and  figured his angle of approach. He  cautiously - wormed himself to the  right and made up his mind that  here diiectly under his feet must be  the plank.. Then he dropped. The  world knows that he lived to tell  Hie tale.   rt>   HAVE YOU-WORKED THIS  OUT?

Mr. Ashworth is a  member of 'the Society of Friends,  and has for a nuniiber of years-hjeen  interested in the Doukbobors aho  are located in northwestern Canada.

They aie making excellent progress in their farming op-  eiations and are making steady advancement iu all regards. AVe are  fully satisfied with all that weluve  heard, and are assuied that the future'of the colony will be satisfactory to all concerned.  \"The FriendS'of Peiisyl'vanisi are  also much interested in the Douk-ho-  hors and have had a num'ber ol  their people in the west, looking after them and volunteering help in  any way that, might be possible.

They  were gathered yesterday on the  ranch of Mr. A. S. Christie, situat-  , ed three \"miles north of the city.  The berries are as sweet as any of  .the best of thc season, and larger  .than the average iberry.  Mr. Christie states that while gathering them yesterday lie noticed  many bilossoms and green berries  which will ripen for a long time,  or until the very heavy frost comes.

It is not many districts that can  boast of a climate wlu'cli will pei-  mit of the ripening of strawberries  after the middle of September, or,  as is the case on Mr. Chiistiu's  ranch, after the first of October.
