News OF the passage of The Texas Re-
solutions by the Congress of the United
States reached Santa Fe on The 18Th of
Apnl, but it created no excitement of
popular feeling. The Governor issued a
PROCLAMATION, desiring such of the for>
elgners as were SO disposed, to meet at
place designated, and receive their pro-
lection papers. Very little attention,
however, was paid to the proclamation,
as no apprehensions were entertained of
any immediate difficulties.

Two lamentable accidents have hap
pened toGeneral Tom Thumb in Paris
The gold watch gwen to him by Queen
Victoria has been stolen, and as yet no
trace has been discovered of the robbers
The very mex, day while taking his usual
ride, he encountered in the Rue Richetieu
bull dog, which unaccustomed to see
steeds of the size of those attached to the
Generals carriage, and excited perhaps
by the crowd, sprang to attack the equip
age, and for moment seemed abont to
devour coachman, carriage, and groom

were promptly relieved by the inlerfer-

departure for Madrid has been, it is said
somewhat anticipated in consequence of
these accidents"

The following, from the North American
Review, of Oct. 1874, may afford some
useful hints to our tree loving friends. We
have supposed that the manner of trans
planting in vogue here, by which the younger
branches and roots are so much mutilated,
could not be otherwise than injurious to the
tree, and it may account for the fact of the
poor success generally met with in trans
planting trees of few inches diameter. 1t
has been found that very young trees and
even those from the seed or nut will in a few
years greatly o%utstrip in vigor and beauty
those of a large size taken from the valley.
"The operation oftransplanting trees, that
nave attained a sufficient size to produce an
immediate effect upon the scene, has, in a
greater or less degree, occupied the atten-
t'ou ~ofevery landscape improver of cminencc
or ability. Various are the means that have
been adopted for this end, and innumerable
the expedients that have in turn supplanted
each other. So little success, however, has
IN most cases been met with in removing
large trees, that it is often supposed by in
'eiligent persons to be Of no use to attempt

% II EpIToR OF THE PoLYyEsIAS:

70 THE EpITon OF THE PoLyHEsIAS;
Dr. hear about town, runors Of re-
forms to be made by the present legislature.
Among other things, | would suggest whether
the increasing numbers of the vile ours that
lntest our streets, barking and %yclping the
live-long night, to the great annoyance of all
lovers OF quiet and sleep, should not come
under their consideration. 1t can be easily
demonstrated, that these dogs so far from
being Of the slightest Use, are Il great prac-
tical evil to even their masters, and a nui-
sance to all lovers of cleanliness and gar
dens. Towns in the United States periodi-
cally set loose dog-killers, and the streets
arc soon rid Of the brute vagabonds. Here
unfortunately they are cherished by black
and white, Greek and barbarian, and in
consequence have acquired an impudence
and strength of lungs actually intolerable.
Now as in many instances their masters
manifest for them a aloha" equal if not
quite superior to any love they have for
anything of the bipcd creation, l would
recommend that all who show so sad a want
of taste and SO little regard for the nerves
of their neighbors, be compelled to pay a
tax of at least S. per annum for each and
every dog they rear and keep, and be re-
CURED 10 put a collar with the owners name
upon it, around the neck of each and every
one. Such a law would undoubtedly d.
minish the noisy brutcs, test the relative
strength of the "aloha'' for the purse or
dog, and put some funds into the treasury
for dogs some people will have at all events.
That the poorer people be able to indulge
their canine propensities within proper limits.
| would continc the tax to those who keen
dogs within the precincts of the town.
Away from it, and about the farmers huts,
they may be even of service, and "a iicht
tax would operate to prevent any one man
from keeping Il legion.
IN Hawaii and Maui | am credibIy in
formed that they have become so numerous
and wild as to roam in packs, with wolfsh
propcnsitics, destroying great numbers of
lambs, kids, calves and poultry. TO ensure
their destruction then, and to prevent them
from absolutely discriminating the useful
quadrupcds, Il reward of so much a head
will be obliged before long to be offered,
if not by the local authorities at least by the
farmers. The subject is certainly worthy
OF the serious consideration of our l%egisla-
tors, and for one | most zcalously pray they

country, that carry the mind some centuries
still further towards the flood. But the
events themselves even if substantiated be-
yond cavil, are of too little Importance to
become of historical value. They are
merely deeds Of sensualized man. and the
offspring more of brute instinct than "a
tlonal forethought. A general type of char
actcr pervades all savage tribes, and the
history of one is the history of all. Hence
knowing what savages were in the wilds
of the known world two thousand wears
since, we can come to a correct iudpment
as to the career of the indigenes of these
islands during the interval. Fcuds and pre-
datory excursions constituted their enter
prise; dances, songs and tales of an unc-
quivocally sensual caste, their social amuse.
mcnts; wastetul and cruel sacrifices their
religion; superstltious fears and desires
of physical ease and enjoyment their faith :
and the worst form Of Asiatic dcspotism
without its splcndor, their government. II
would be a libel perhaps even upon the ma
ture of the rudcst savages, to suppose that
no CLEANS of a different order diversified
their otherwise unchequcrcd existcnce.-
Humanity would have utterly sunk beneath
its load of vice and misery. But we find
that even here at times there arose some
chief of milder sway, some priest of gencr-
Gus views or man of vigorous intellect, re-
formers in their way, to whose voices the
nation listened, and whose influence ceased
not altogether with their lives. These served
from time to time to rcjuvenatc the people
and to perPetuate upon them the stamp
OF men. Providence is patient and long
suffering before it gives over to utter desc
latlon races of even the most rebellious
children. A torch lighted from the mine
of mind is often given them, which they
need but fan upon to kindle into a flame
1T ITS CLEANS are too transient it is because
they neglect to secure it and to call down
from heaven that fire which alone can spread
the blaze. 1t has SO happened here. Among
the records of the past we see a few spots.
bright but with a lambent flame; deeds,
of humanity, true affection. a few wise laws,
faint traces of h%eaven-born truth; but like
ignis tatui glimmering in the wide and dank
morass of error and degradation. And it
is to be noted that these spots are all %far-o(f;
they were of old; good kings and good men
were not recent, but superstition, slavery,
despotism, had steadily increased until the
common mind had become scarcely better
than paralytic. In fact heathenism having
destroyed everything else, was preying upon
itself. But Providence had one more Gift in
store to proffer to these dcsolate islanders.
The white man with his much of evil but
more of good, came. Has he accomplished
his mission ? We shall see.
