Mrs IIarcourt now suggested to Ellen the pro-
priety of her not dancing and talking quite so nueh
another time with Lewis Campbell, as she had ''e
evening before which caused her to open her pf'S"t
eyes very wide, and ask, 'why''
Because, my love, |. should be very sorry mat
there should ever be any GOODNESS between o'd
friends like the Campbes and ourselves; and should
Lewis have the madness to think of you, it would be
out of tho question for you to listen to him. and there
fore Won had better distance him at once"
Ellen looked n little surprised, and then partly
smiled as she blushed; but when Frank said Lewis
was fine fellow, pity they were poor graver
expression passed her countenance, and she said no
more. Young Campbell, however, gave her no op
portun,y of putting her mothers advice in practice
as he rarely called and paid her little attention when
they met, for his conversation with his sister had
sunk deep into his mind 'ris true, she often caught
his eyes fixed upon her, but he turned them quickly
away whom he saw she noticed it; and 'she could
not help his looking could she?' md therefore 1t Is
not worth while to ask, would she, if she coud?'
At any rate Mrs fl,rcourt very well pleased
to see the nitation at an end, and Mr. Campbell,
who had not been less annoyed at his sons attentions
to Ellen than her mother equally grnt'hed 10
find that there was further foundation 20 rhs alarm.

islands II is now known that great majority belong
to the United States. The United States, therefore,
interested in the fate OF these islands, and oil
their government, than any other nation can be; ana
this consideration induces the President to be quite
willing to DECLARE the sense of the government OF
the United States, that the government OF the Sand
witch Islands ought 10 respected; and that NO POWER
ought either TO take possession of the Islands as
CONQUEST, o. for the purpose Of COLONIZATION;
and that NO POWER ought 10 seek for UNDUE COM
rRoE over the existing government, or any ExcLU-
slvE PRIVILEGES or preference in matters of COM

lie was fully sustained in the of this dignifed
and decided language by the Message of the Prcsi-
dent, dated Dec. 20, of which the following is an
tracts
'Its nearer approach to this continent, and the in
tercourse which American vessels have with it-such
vessels constitute five sixhs of all which annually
visit it--could not but create dissatisfaction in the
United States at ANY ATTEMPT BY ANOTHER

feared TO TAKE POSSESSION Of the Islands, colo
nze them ,nnd subvert the native government. Con-
siderng, therefore, that the United States possess
very large share Of the intercourse with these Is
ands, il is deemed not unfit TO make the declaration
that their government seeks, nevertheless, no exclusive

tent with its independent existence, and an1ously

Evening Mercury writes;
"As despatch has been received at the Depart

The protest is drawn up in able and manly style,

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS-WHAT WILL
OUR GOVERNMENT DO?


Much feeling has been elected hroug hout the coun-
try by the strange and yet nexpcabe conduct
of the agents of Great Britain, towards the Sandwich
Islanders. Whether they acted in obedience to in
structions not is unsettled question, but, mas
much as Great Britain had formally acknowledged
their independence it is nferered that they acted
without instructions, though this is by no means GER
tain. The apprehension Notwithstanding this, is
terained that the agents did act, knowing what they
about, and with some Interior view bearing upon
the extension Of British power. How this may be
time will soon determine. In the mean time, what
will our Government do? is the question now in ev-
cry body's mouth. What it has done is a matter of
record, and the opinions uttered, and the course of
policy pursued thus Cir-especally late Transactions
afford some clue to the solution of this question.
Our relations with the Islands have depended entire
y upon informal agreement, concluded with them
in IS26 by T. A. Catesby Jones, then Commander of
the United States soop Peacock. This has
been ratified by our Government, but has continued
in silent operation, having been faithfully adhered TO
both sides. During the last year, Messrs. Rich
ards and Iaalilio applied to Government for its
formal ratification and formal acknowledgement of
the independence Of the Islands They stated that the
appointment ofConsuls and commercial agents, both
in Europe and the United States, regarded a
tacit recognition ofheir independence, but that the
King thought that more formal acknowledgement
essential to the honor and interests Of his kingdom
To this letter Mr. Webster, under date Of December
H. 1912, replied in letter from which the following
emphatic passage is an extract.
"Ths United States have regarded the existing au-
thorities of the Sandwich Islands a government
suited to the condition of the people, and resting
their CHOICE and the President is OF opinion that
the Interest Of all The nations require that The gorern-

Trouble on the Frontier.-.fmericGR aggression!
We sorry 10 announce repetition of those outra-
ges upon the frontier, which dsgraced the period Of
the late rebeons. No sooner have the volunteer
p6SeS hafe asshaRasd reeeommcneed their .rooops
acts. Many Individuals in the neighborhood of Odle
town rendered themselves particularly obnoxious to
the sympahzers, by their gallant and successful OPP
position TO the invading force Ojle,own and Rouses
Point. Threats have been from time TO time direct
ed against them, and the protection of the troops hav
ing been Withdrawn, these have been realized in signal
acts of revenge During the last week one dwelling
house and three barns, fired upon the same night
and apparently at the time; they were distant
about quarter of mile from each other, and no
doubt exist to the having been tho work Of
incendiares The inhabitants of the house cscaped az
they were, but lost every thing. In one Of the barns
three valuable horses and other cattle were consumed
in the others large quantities Of produce This is but
the beginning, and if efficient means are not mmedi-
ately taken by the government, tho line As deg. will
show such beacons every night; aggressions on the
one side will lead to retrbution on the other, and
those that know the stuff Of which the borderers are
made, have good cause to fear that events will ensue
which may endanger the peacenble relations of the
two countries. There must be troops on the frontier
Of some kind other, if volunteer there must be
regulars, otherwise the inhabitants will tako their
protection into their own hands, and their measures
are not likely TO be Of polite nature An account
of the magsteria investigation into these outrages has
been forwarded to the government"
The above is from the Montreal Herald and is, in
our opinion, ungenerous and unjust u.s. this side Of
the Line. Does not the Herald know that the burn
ings some years ago upon their side occascned
by Canadian refugees aye, by volunteers and those
who wished to enlist in the volunteer service under
Her Majesty If the Herald does not understand
this, many people along the Line well know lit o be
having received large wages for several years without
spending any time of consequence in the service,
discharged, and doubtless many ofthem wish to
be emp Dyed. And still further-there are few in
divduas upon the opposite side Of the Line who
have reapad hurvests from the wages Of the loafng
portion of the volunteers, and perhaps some of these
men would like to get up cry of "American Ag.
gressions' in order to induce the Government re-
establish the volunteer corps.
These late saggrossions,'' we entertain not shad-
ow of doubt, made by her majesty's sub
jects, and for the purpose alluded to above, and the
Herald, perhaps ignorany does great Injustice to the
peaceful disposition Of the inhabitants upon the Amer
lean side Of the line As. That they guilty Of
such deeds before was established beyond question
by investigations by their tribunals OF jus:ice
and tho Herald ought to do just ice in the prem
scs.
