i Il MENoRIAM.-Now seems to be q most appropri-
ate time for a special effort to raise funds to erect a
monument 10 the memory of kamehameha III. The
only monument which be left TO his people was the
Constitution of 1852. That having been destroyed
by the present Ministry, it is proper that another be
now erected which the Ministry dare not DESTROY.
There was an effort made some years ago to raise a
fund for this purpose, and. if We are not mistaken,
there is now a small amount on deposite somewhere.
which can serve as a nucleus for whatever may be
necessary for this object. A bronze equestrian statue.
set On a pedestal, and surrounded with an iron fence
would be exceedingly appropriate 1t would cost
FIVE or Liz thousand dollars perhaps, but that sum
could be easily raised il the subscription was made
q general one. =
ANOTHER VEssEL Los1--By the KITTY CQrtcrtgh:,
which arrived On the 25th from Fanning's Island, we
learn that the London Missionary bark Join Uil-
liams was lost about May 18th, on Danger Island,
located in lat. II ? south. and long. l66 west.
The vessel was becalmed at the time, and struck the
rocks in deep water, sinking almost Immediately.
The accident occurred very near the shore, and all
on board were saved, and soon after were taken TO
Upolu in a transient vessel.

What is a Gopher?

Some inquiry has been made relative
to the appropriateness of the term
Gopher, which we have applied to the
secret and reasonable organization
calling itself The Sons of Liberty"
The name it appropriates conveys a
falsehood on its face. for every vagabond
connected with it is a sworn slave of the
leaders of the Order, and a name is
needed more appropriate to the burrow
ing gang, and which is at once short, and
expressive of the subject. " e think we
have found one that fits in both Of these
particulars. The Gopher of the natur-
alist is called, in the vernacular of the
prairies, prairie dog. Webster defines
the animal as follows:
Gopher, The French popular name
tGaufers) OF two species of Diplos
toma, rs is supposed, rodent quad
rupeds, found in the Mississippi Valley
and on TIE Missouri, about the size of
a squirrel. They burrow IN the earth,
throwing up hllocbs twelve or eighteen
inches high. They are mischieyous in
cornfielps and gardens
We will add in further illustration of
the habits of the Gopher, that it and the
rattlesnake often burrow together in the
same hole, in harmonious companion
ship; and that the animal seems to be q
cross between the wharfrat and the
ground hog, possessed of all the mischiev-
Gus propensities of both, without the
cunning of the rat or the courage of the
ground hog.
The name, Gopher, embraces all the
qualities necessary to make a finnish ed
Vallandigham eonspirator, SO let the
name be Gopher.-Ind Joar.

He offered to take THEN provisions at the

jackson determind that his soldiers
should not starvc. ordered the rations TO
be distributed, and faithful accounts TO

As soon as the owners saw their pro

General Jackson and agreed to accept
his terms. Everything went on until he
offered in payment United States Treas

Hooker in Battle.

"A correspondent of the New York
Times, with the army of the Cumber
land, says:
Gen. Hooker, am sometimes afraid,
will not witness the termination of the
war He is a fearless hero. He seems TO
stake his existence against tn e execution
of whatever he is duly appointed to
carry out, and his fall need not uneXpect-
eddy be met by the Republics friends.
With my love and devotion for all the
noble soldiers of the army of the Cumber-
land. l sincerely believe that the loss of
Hooker, above any other general officer,
would produce the most universal gloom
and desolation. God grant that no such
calamity may overtake us in this critical

IL is estimated that the proportion of wounded Ia
killed much less than usual because OF the close
ness and desperation of these remarkable contests
and that the wounded instead, of being times
not more than twice many the kied--an nm
precedented fact. 1t assume that estimate
correct then the total loss of the Rebels in the
battles of the Goth aud 22d Atlanta is 1906,
against total loss side of $3.50. Adding losses
in the battle of the 2Ith and the Rebel total loss
cannot be less than 90. 000-which in proportion
