HONOLULU, Oct. "a, 1897
EDITOR OF 7. TIsER TO carp at tY
pointments made by the representative of my
try's commercial honor, is not the object of my
ent communication, but to find fault with the fun
adulation of appointees, as exhibited in the last Pa
nesian, certainly is. Judge Abner Pratt, the newly
arrived Consul, has let his fiat go forth, and the(
lesser stars Of the Consulate make their appearanccl
jim the ARMAMENT, to shine with reflected metalli
<brilliancy !; but l, for one of that community whic
the impaculate Poiynesian declares would, if the
could speak. entirely acquiesce in the infallibility
consular wisdom, will not :. bow down and worship.
DR.. GuIllou undoubtedly possesses great urbanity o
manner and erudite conversational powers. and Can
tain !awton, late of the bark Fanny Major, whic
bore our worthy Consul to these island shores. has a
exact knowledge OF what his position is north BY
that there are not equally good citizens of the GreA
Republic, who could do their duties as ably au&
satisfactorily to a large number of their g fclloV
citizens. - is certainly an error. The majority of tho
sailors who are admitted in the U. S. Hospital, do not
belong to the .. s. Navy, and the tricks of Jack on a \
berth-deck, when "~dodging Pompey,' are well
known to every regularly educated physician al
surgeon, even surprising he has not the privilege
adding to his M. D.. late U. s. N" / mentio}
this, as this power of discernment appears to the ey
OF the writer of the Poiynesian to be the Dr's pri
cipal recommendation for the office. Capt. Lawt
may make a good provider, but the same SITUATE
has been filled by as good lads before, although til
may not now stand on the first letter, which is OWN
chiefly to the fact that the list has been Bheaded.

One Of the most remarkable events of
the long struggle of the Christian world
TO obtain possession of the Holy Grave,
was the Children's Crusade Though
not commonly narrated in modern histo.
ry, i. is found in the pages of many old
chronicles and the German historian
Wilkiu, from whose large work on the
Crusades we draw the materials for the
following sketch, declares that we may
place full confidence in their accounts.
For some time previous to the year 1919,
the Christian world, tired of the long,
unsuccessful wars with the Infdel seem.
ed to have lost the true Crusaders zeal.
True lhere was much talk about another
expedition, but the people shrunk from
oil active preparation. The project was
deferred from year to year, and might
have slept forever had not strange and
startling event suddenly reused once more
the popular feeling and put to shame the
sluggish ears of the Christian world.
Impatient Of the apathy of their sires.
and excited by the tales which wander
ing friars told of suffering pilgrims at
Jerusaem, the children of France and
Germany rose up in uDgovernable fren-
zy, bent on the liberation Of tho holy
city. Kings had failed but the san
guine spirit of youth determined to vim
dicate Christendom, and revenge on the
In6del the injuries and insults he had
inflicted on the pilgrims of Christ. A
shepherd lad of Vendome named Ste
phen was the FIRST to rouse the youth of
France. Pretending that the Saviour
had appeared to him in the euise of an
old shepherd, and given him authority TO
preach childrens crusade, he induced
other lads Of his own age to join him.
His stirring appeals and seeming mira
eles soou drew around him an immense
throng of eager youth, flushed with the
spirit of holy enterprise and chivclry.
The example was followed in other parts
Of France; frenzied youths raised the
standard Of the GROSS, and gathered about
them multitudes Of children, all eager
for the great crusade. But all acknOwl-
edged young Stephen of Vendome their
lord and master, and believed him tho
chosen of God to lead them to victory
over tue SaIateps' ile was IeSaI ~eu 40
a Saint, and happy was the youth who
obtained so much as thread from his
coat Even grown people INDUCED tho
idle hope that for some mighty purpose
God had thus reused up the youth OF
Christendom. The King of France him
self was at first inc lined to this belief
The greater part of the clergy and many
of the laity regarded the insane enthusi
asm Of the boys as the woik of some ma
lcicus magician but the common peo'
pie were firmly persuaded that the oppo'
sition was oil from envy, and called
them sooiiers aud infl1els.
Thus encouraged by the popular voice,
aud incensed by tho opposition of king
and clergy, the frantic youths set all au.

the four mates and tho sailors, and for.
mally deposed the first mate, promoting
the second officer to his place Then he
gave orders that under no circumstances
was his ship to be taken into any other
port than San Francisco Soon after ho
had relapse, and for % days before tho
vessel reached port be was totally blind.
AT length San Francisco was reached in
safety, after q short voyage of l20 days,
the vessel beating three out of the four
competitors.
The safety Of the ship and the preser-
yation of her husbands life were wholly
due the constant care and watcbfulness
OF Mrs Patton. On her arrival she in.
formed the consignee Of the vessel that
for fifty nights previous she had not uu.
dressed herself
Before leaving San Francisco deaf
ness was added to the other Affections of
Capt. Patten. and he now lies upon his
couch insensible To everything but the
kind Offices of his beloved companion.
aud SO weak that ho may expire at any
moment. Occasionally he speaks to his
wife, lucidly, but oftoner in wild and
iucohercnt manner Mrs Patten's broth
er. who is foreman of ship.yard in Bos.
ton, is in attendance at New Y York upon
Lis sister and brJther.in.law. Capt.
Patten had been taken care of by his
brother Masons in San Francisco, and
DR.. Harris, one of the fraternity, had
watched over him on his way home. On
leaving San Francisco, he seemed TO raj.
~ considerably, but on reaching q warm
latitude he rolapsod, and has sunk to the
hopeless state in which lie now remains.
The Masons of New York having been
advised from San Francisco of his inten.
dcd departure for home, were waiting for
the George Law on her arrival, and
brought him on litter to the Battery
Hotel, where they have since watched
over him.
With that modesty which generally
distinguishes true merit, says the Ifib.
une, Mrs. Patten. begged to be excused
from speaking about herself She said
that she had done no more than her du-
ty, and as the recollection Of her trials
and suffcripgs evidently gave her pain,
we could not do otherwise than respect
her feelings. Few persons would mag.
Inc that the woman who behaved 50
bravely, and endured SO much for her
husbands sake, is slender New Eng
land girl, scarcely twenty years old.
Her health is very much impaired from
the hardships which she has undergone
aud she is very near tho period of ma.
ternity Yet she does not spare herself
in the least, but is most faithful and
constant in her attention to her husband.
The Board of Underwriters of New
York Immediately on the case coming
to their knowledge awarded Mrs Patten
the sum of $1,000 as a temporary relief,
aud it is understood that somc further
appropriation will be made for relief Of
herself aud husband, and that the own.
ers Of the ship aud tho merchants of
New York propose to take some further
notice of the case.

Walking in tho Moonlight.

" The harvest moon is waning, love,
The stars shine calm and bright,
The song of the evening bird, love,
Floats out upon the night.
I" Then come and walk with me, my love,
Upon the moon-lit strand;
We'll listen to the billows, love
That break on the shining sand.
On such night MS this, my love,
Two harvest-moons ago,
asked you for your hand, my love,
And you softly answered no.
''I cannot leave my mothers home,
To live at the Merry Glen;
'Oh no, dear Frank, must not go,
Our hearth would be lonely then
But now you'll come to the Glen, love,
Your heart to me is given;
You've naught to keep you now, my love,
For your mothers homes in Heaven"
She gave her gentle, trusting hand
And look'd ON his manly brow, [land.
And said 4" Dear Frank from the spirit
We've our mothers blessing now.''
The stars shone on and the silver moon,
Sank slowly to the west,
But still they walk'd and watchd the foam
As it curl'd on the bluc-wavcs crest.

FAsuIoHABLE WoMEN-Fashion kills
more women than toll and sorrow. o.
bedience to fashion is q greater injury to
her physical and mental constitution,
than the hardships of poverty and neg
lect. The slave woman at her tasks will
live and grow old, aud see two or three
generations of her mistress pass away.
The wash-woman, with scarcely ray
of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will
live to see her fashionable sisters ali die
around her. and the kitchenmaid is hearty
aud strong when her lady has to be
nursed like a sick baby. 1t is sad
truth, that fashion pampered women are
almost worthless for all the great ends
of human life. They have but little
force of character; thoy have still less
power of moral wiz, -nd quito as little
physical energy. They i've for no great
