REMOVED. - DR.. Hoffman, so long and so well
known as the occupant of . the corner, - has remov-
ed his Dispensary to another corner, opposite the
Bookstore, where he appears to be thoroughly pre-
pared to prescribe for all the ills that human flesh is
heir to. In the same building, up stairs, we notice
that DIR. J. S. McGrew, lately of Cincinnati, Ohio,
has established his office as Surgeon. This gentle
man comes among US with a high reputation in his
profession, having served with distinction as Surgeon
in both the Mexican and the late American wars, be-
sides having had other extensive practice.

ALL ABOUT 4 WoMAN.-Last Thursday Il native
got drunk for consolation because his wife had de-
serted him for some more fortunate q swain, and IN
a state of crapulence undertook to cut his own throat.
Either he did not try very hard, or the knife was
very dull, for the cut did not penetrate further than
the skin. This is a case which we beg to ecommend
TO the consideration of Mr.. =, the correspondent of
the Gd.etie, as an illustration of his favorite theory
that drunkenness and immortality is on the decrease
among the Hawaiians.

Coon Enthusiastically was the anniversary,
according to Roman Catholic and Episcopal tradition,
of the day ON which our Saviour was crucitied, and
the usual services of the Season were held in the
churches of those persuasionS. By public Motif
cation. the Government offices were closed during
the day.
- Sailors used to regard Friday as an unlucky
day. 1t is, however, a curious coincidence that the
Great Eastern left the Irish coast on a Friday, and
on Friday Columbus set sail for the new world. On
a Friday too, the Great Eastern reached Hearts
Content, and on a Friday, Columbus first saw the
shores of the Western World. 1t may be added that
more criminals have been hung on a Friday than all
the other days of the week.

REFUsED.-It is reported that an application for a
license to retail spirits at the establishment on Nuu-
anu street, known as the " Shades would
be a more appropriate name-was refused by the
Minister of the Interior. This is another proof of the
p~raiseworthy dcterm ination evinced by that Minister
to curtail the illegal sale Of intoxicating liquor to
natives which has been so long and extensively car
ried on in this city, in defiance of the lar Of the iand,
for the determined violation of which there can be no
excuse whatever. If any law be wrong or unwise,
alter it but while it remains a law, let it lie enforced

1t is noticeable that some of our
well-to do merchants are turning out
upon the avenue brilliant equipag e.,
Respondent with gold and silver. The
harnesses are held together with gold
buckles, the trimmings Of the Carriages
are goid-piated, and the cOats-Of arms
which ornament the panels of the doors
are surrounded with gold.
Inside the carriages the lady wears a
golden wreath upon her hat. and the
buttons upon the coat Of the driver and
fOOtman are said to be of solid gold.
Madame RumOr has It that Mr.. Wood
warsee, OF this city, has q bride bit
made of solid gold, and no doubt some
of our readers IN the rural districts will
think this Is rather notable. Not at
ali. A golden bit WOuld be looked up
on with contempt by many IA native
Californian or other Spanish American.
On Montgomery street In San Fran
cisco, men may be seen riding on sOrry
looking 6rOHcbO mustangs, with brides
which do not contain a particle OF iron
or leather about them. Every piece is
OF solid silver or gold, even the reins
being silver chain as pliable as leather;
and the saddle Is almost entirely cover
ed with silver aud gold, the plate on
the pOmmel being as large around as
the crown VI an ordinary hat, aud solid
silver, with a compass larger than
an ordinary watch, set In it in
such q manner that the rider can tell
the direction to steer on the desert or
on the great plains at O glance. There
may be seen in the ''SilleriG" OF Don
Carlos, a Mexican saddler, on Pacific
street, between Kearney and Mont
gOmery, "a saddle with $500 worth of
silver on il, with bride to match. a
bridle-bit weighing only eighty penny
weights Of gold. wOlld cost less than
500 In coin, aud a Spanish
horse would eat AZ up and buck
the owner fifty feet, more or less. over
his head in no time. The ccstliest
brides which are made have not par
ticle of the precious metals about them.
They are as soft as silk. and black and
glossy as the ravens wing. Aud what
do you think they are made of ?-the
long scalp-locks from the heads
OF Apaches taken by Mexicans on the
borders OF Arizona and Sonora. Esti-
mate the cost Of an Indian campaign,
allowing fair price for the life of every
Caucasian lost, and you can imagine
what the bride costs. Easy over the
stones, there, on Fifth avenue Posi-
bly, these brides are too costly TO be
seen upon our street of palaces, and so
we viii have to be content with bits of
gold aud such like trashy p. Mail.

ONE OF THE Predecessors OF WESTON,
THE PEDESTRIAN talk about the
pedestrian feat now accomplishing by
Weston revives recollections of an
Englishman, Captain Barclay, whose
exploits in this line have never since
been approached. In 1896, when only
sixteen, he walked six miles In an hour.
Some years afterward, while in training
for match of ninety miles in twenty
one and half hours, he walked one
hundred and ten miles in nineteen
hours. In December, 1901, he made a
hundred miles in nineteen hours. 1t is
said that he walked with his body bent
forward, so as to throw the weight on
the knees. His step was short, aud his
feet were lifted but few inches from
the ground. His walking dress was
about the same as that worn by Weston.

Mysterious Operations near NasAvdI,

The Nashville Union and Dispatch of
the 18th says:
Some enterprising individuals have
discovered, Ia their own minds at
least, new FL Dorado In the very sub
urbs of Nashville, and lured by the
glitter of gold, jewels. precious stones,
etc, have gone to digging up mother
earth in the hope of bringing hidden
treasures ttO light. They are not de-
TERED by difficulties or discouraged by
disappointments, bat with a commend
able perseverance,, worthy OF Pizarro
when he led his bands against "the
Children OF the Sum- or Cortez, when
he unearthed the relics of the Tlasca-
lans, they push on the work, stImula-
ted by the one hope-goid. The scene
of this new region of wealth is out
about two miles from the city, near
the first toll-gate, on the Charlotte
Turnpike. The party consists of some
six or eight persons, who, during two
nights of last week, dug with pick.
shovel and spade, till lodg after mid
night We have not learned how they
became possessed of the mysterious
secret that gold and valnables were
buried there. They guard their Seer e
we'll, and, as it appears, work mostly
in the night time, ''by the moonbeam's
misty light the sod upturning." They
are digging about thirty yards from the
road, on a hill, where, from appear
auces, building of some sort used to
stand, and Immediately under some oak
trees. They dug there on Saturday
night until long after midnight. They
are armed for the business. evidently
intending in regular California style to
protect their "claim." 1t is supposed
that some stand as sentinels, while
others dig. On last Saturday night no
less than sixteen pistol shots were fred
by the party TO keep off intruders
Sometimes the firing was in quite
rapid succession. There are some five
or six holes dug varying in depth from
three to five feet, and in diameter from
four to nine feet. We were informed
that operations would no doubt be re-
sumed last night. We do not know
what amount of money or valuables is
supposed TO be buried there, by whom
it is supposed TO be buried, or by what
means the party became possessed with
the notion that it Was buried at all.
But certain it is they have been work
ing with an energy and will that moth
ing but positive expectation and belief
could inspire.

20 TO detecate the juice. The eyapora-
ton was done both In a kettle with
steam coil pipe, and on sorgo evapora-
tors.
The. editor says of the first expert
ment: "When it had reached con-
sistency supposed to be right for gran
ulating, il was taken off and set in a
warm room for the night. With many
anxious feelings we approached the
vessel holding it the next morning,
when to our great delight, we found
that the whole mass had crystalized
from top to bottom, showing large aud
splendid crystals of sugar, which after
standing twenty-four hours longer, was
allowed to drain. Not more than twen-
ty per cent. of il drained out, much of
which was sugar. This would have
been less had it been allowed to stand
longer" Repeated experiments pro-
duced similar results. although the ar
rangements were so imperfect as to in-
volve much delay in the process, and
| repeated handling of the juice. The
quicker the process the more perfect
the granulation."
COVERING GRAPE VINES. Ia this lat
itude most varieties of grapes need to
be laid down and covered IN winter
The Clinton. Delaware, aud some other
varieties will, in favorable locations,
stand the winter remaining upon the
tullis or stake, but even these 90 rather
better If covered in winter.
Isabellas, Catawbss and other tender
varieties will kill down to the ground,
or within a foot of it, every time they
are left up. The harder varieties need
only to be thrown upon the ground and
any coarse litter thrown over them. -
The more tender sorts need more COW
erinP, but they are not particular what
it is. If covered with hay or straw, a
pretty thick coating is required, the
object being, not as with the strawber-
~, to merely shield it from the sun,
but actually to protect from the cold.
If coarse manure is used, lighter Gov
ering will answer. Ii neither of these
is convenient, covering with earth seems
to do just as well. There Is no danger
of smothering as in the case OF the
strawberry. Putting down vines should
be delayed till near the setting in oil
winter, and the vines trimmed before
laying down, for If not trimmed til.
taken mp in the spring, they will bleed.

1t will be seen that before January /,
1858, provision must be made by the
government for the payment IN some
form OF Sl190O0,OO0. Five methods
have been named for the accomplishment
OF this object,
First BY the application Of the gold
and currency ON hand.
Second: BY accruing receipts from
revenue.
Third BY sale OF bonds.
Fourth By issuing more legal tend
ers or stopping the payment Of four
millions month of legal tenders now
authorized by law.
Fifth BY temporary arrangement
with the National banks, as proposed in
the bill pending before Congress which
Senator Sherman has reported from the
Finance Committee.
The method proposed is in measure
calculated TO keep loans out Of the
hands Of brokers and private bankers,
erations may not be furnished, the low
rate of interest fixed precluding their
use by such parties. National banks
can hold them on deposit, but cannot
count them as reserve to redeem their
circulation. The effect will be that the
National banks can take government
security, payable en- demand, at low
rate OF interest, it being counted as a
part OF the two-ffths reserve, and would
be the same in effect as a deposit in a
city bank. 1t will also reduce the in
terest on those notes to three per cent.
instead of six, and put portion Of the
bank reserves into the United States
Treasury, and prevent contraction OF
the currency that would otherwise seri-
ously embarrass the business community.
This bill passed the Senate on Thursday
last, but its fate in the House cannot be
predicted.

Compound Interest Notes.

A bill is under consideration In Con-
gress to authorize the Secretary OF the
Treasury for the purpose of redeem
ing any compound interest notes by
issuing temporary loan certificates,
bearing interest at rate not exceeding
three per cent. per annum, principal
and interest to be paid in lawful money
on demand. These certificates may be
held by any National bank holding or
owning them as part of the reserve
provided for in the National Banking
law, but not less than two.ffths of the
entire reserve of any bank shall consist
of the lawful money of the United
States, and the whole amount outstand-
ing shall not exceed Que hundred mil
lions of dollars.
The purpose OF the bill is to provide
in part for the payment OF the COM
pound interest notes. The official state
ment shows that the total amount OF
principal is Sl43O64, $40, and the In
terest at maturity is So, 1901, 92l. max
ing total of sl7O,820 SOL. The follow

ceive dollar after their local bounties
shall have been deducted, which includes
the State bounty of 81 per month and
town bounties. The soldiers claim is
above all others; there is none deeper /;
none stronger; none more just; there
fore we trust the Senate will strike out
tn G deduction clause, and thus do equal
right and justice to the soldier and those
States who have paid their fair proper
ton TO their own soldiers. No State
honors the soldier more than Yer
mont none more LIBERAL but she is not
willing TO he called upon TO pay the
bounties of other States.
