Making a total $4,000
That is the approximate cost of this gross pub
lie outrage, which from year to year is kept up to
fire the people with indignation and discord, and
which must ultimately lead to the downfall of the
Ministry. The SUN Of five thousand dollars Il
year will do all the necessary printing required
by the government, and remove one of the great
est burdens and evils now imposed on the Hawai-
ian people. But We shall have more to say of
this again.
The sum asked for the Board of Health is large
(S30,000) ; but If the sum is expended solely for
tine legitimate object voted, it may be all right.
That for the Insane Asylum (Sl3 900 for two
years. l. quite reasonable.
The sum asked for n lighthouse (S3 500 is a
beggarly amount, and hardly sufficient to collect
structure. which ought to be ut least sixty or
seventy feet high, and built strong enough to
withstand the heaviest kona storms.
The item of 5000 for street lights for Homo
hlu. 10 e raised by special fares, looks like an at
tempt To extort money for private purposes, and
under false prctcnscs. The gas works belong to
Messr-. :. Spencer and G. C.. Harris. and the
public will never consent TO be taxed for thar
special LeHcff. Desirable as gas and street lights
are. let Us have them by individual enterprise, or
from the general fund. and not from SPECIAL tang

Starved to Death.

We cut tho following from an exchange ::
A respectable, industrious woman, the
mother of nine children, died of starvation,
last week, in Philadelphia. Her husband,
who worked in a foundry, had been out Of
work for some weeks, and the poor woman,
to proud to ask assistance, had denied her.
elfthat her little ones might have food,
until nature could endure no more, and she
perished.
This is the way it goes. A white woman
starves to death in Philadelphia for want Of
food, while the government keeps upa bu-
reau, which costs the taxpayers several
millions year, to feed, clothe, and educate
negroes. This thing goes on year after
year and tho people quietly submit to it.
Congress devotcs large share Of its time
to the negro, and all manner Of ways are de.
vised to make him more comfortable and
give him new power, Notwithstanding white
women arc permitted to starve in Phila-
delphia, under the nose Of the Union League.
1t seems sometimes that justice has taken
its fight from this world.-Monroe Demo.

A REMARKABLE SPRING IN FLon1pA.

A REMARKABLE SPRING IN FLoRIDA.-
There is near Ocola, remarkable spring,
one of the largest Of the great number
known in Florida. 1t called Silver Spring.
I found it in the midst of lone hammock,
overfowing its banks. 1t bubble d up in u
basin thirty-scven feet deep and about an
acre in extent, filling and overaowiug it, and
sending from it deep stream fifty or sixty
feet wide, and extending eight or nine miles
to the Oklawana river,in which it empties.
In the spring itself fifty steamboats, may lie
at anchor, and in the stream, steamboats, Of
considerable draught. The spring thus
forms natural inland port, to which three
steamers now run regularly from St. Johns
The clearncss of the water is truly wonder
full. 1t seems even more transparent than
air. You see on the bottom, thirty feet be-
low your boat, the exact form of the small
est pebble, the outline and color, and shades
Of color of the leaves which have sunk.
Large fish swim in it, every scale visible, and
every movement distinctly observable. The
water is impregnated with lime and magne.
sia, but has no appreciable taste, and is ex-
celent drinking water. If you 60 over the
basin in a boat you will sec the assures in
the rocks, from which the river pours up.
ward like On inverted cataract. There are
more of the springs in the channel Of the
stream, further down. Such springs are al
most common in Florida. Clay Spring,
near the east bank Of Lake Apapka, pours
forth navigable stream into the St. Johns g.,
Bug Spring, on the west side Of Lake Har-
ris, is nearly as large as Silver Spring. I
have laughed at story Of springin Iowa,
which was large enough to turn mill, but
I can swallow all such tales now, after hav.
