Nu,. 10 Crack.
From The East Brady Independent

rToW unc EdSt orGUg i"UePt N''U"
Since Mr.. Gilfllan is SO very anxious for
denomination, sand his friends so urgently
back him up, wollld it not be we'll enough
to inquire into his status as representative
of the people and his antecedents as poll
tician; while n glimpse at his contrereS
might be an interesting subject for contem-
plation.
AS lawyer, Mr.. Gilillan is not the equal
of Daniel Webster nor so eloquent as De-
mosthenes. Indeed, his legal record is not
so bright as that of many who are younger
in the profession. His pleadings at the
bar were not so touching nor so successful
as his pleadinss for seat in Congress;
neither have his cases boen so intricate and
perplexing as to seriously affect his legal
mind and cause his few friends to fear that
his great ability m ght drive him mad. The
heaviest field he occupied prior 10 joining
the legal profession. was that of Superinten-
dent Of Common Schools in the "Messer
diocese" There his wonderful powers found
ul vent and there he formed that exalted
character for truth and varacity which so
eminently distinguishes him, and has had
the effect of keeping faithful a few men,
who prefer truth where it does not affect
their interest. This peculiar and happy
Characteristic has led him on, until good
luck, or greenhaeks, or something else gave
him seat among the representatives of the
nation. Bat here, as elsewhere, ne is o
listener, not a speaker. i. is in only the
private walks of life that he presumes TO
speak, and then only to select cOterie,
whom he is posting on TIC n,odUS operGndi
Of securing his denomination. In Congress
De is like - a boy at a husking'--
has nothing to say. Yet wilhn., be is
digni6ed and somewhat pedaalc 10 his
manner; and those who do not comprehend
the astuteness OF hi, cdlijre, nigh: mistake
his silence for the wisdom Of Solomon.
But the owl, too, is reticent, and only ut
ters IL sound because the monotony Of its
daylight silence forces it TO cry out when re-
lieyed of the glare Of something brighter
than itself.
He clames to be a Republican; yet it is
said that he often splits his ticket and votes
for Democrats. But, We suppose, al older
and Wiser head controls his actions, and as
that bead sits Oh good cid Democratic shoul-
dcrs, he is bouad by the call Of sympathy
and obedience to follow the dictum of his
tactotum, Bobby. We can not see where
his Republication is, when his affinity runs
in another chaarel, But we have known
men to dof the calf skin and put on the
robe OF the lien, when anyth ng was 10 be
gained by it. This much for himself

WAsHINGTOE, Nov. Is 1t s understood
that the President considers the present
condition Of oUr finances most favorable TO
speedy return to specie payment, and in
bis forthcoming message will urge such a
measnre'npon Congress. He is opposed to
all tinkering with currency, and believes if
the present Internal Revenue law be suf-
fered TO remsin intact, and in another year
such tangible reduction Of the Public debt
will have been elected, as well as enable
the Government to safely and materially
modify the taxes of all kinds. The resump-

We notice quite decline in prices of sugar.
There was a sale at auction on February 18th,

1000 kegs were sold at following prices =

above sale enabled the trade 10 stock up freely,
and compelled the refneries to lower their rate
for Yellow from Ia to lSc. This decline
was anticipated by many here, from the fact
that our sugars were being pushed forward in
large quantities, together with liberal receipts
from other countries, at r time when trade was
dull, the demand for the country had not be-
gun, and holders very anxious to realize, all
tended to break down the price at least
month sooner than we expected.

Portland, and the Cambridge will return in

The merchants are complaining bitterly of
hard times, and. we should say, by street aP-
pearances, they have just cause; but the
spring feet will be looking in upon US shortly,
which we think will do something to revive
trade. It is universally the case that the three
first months of the year is our dullest season
with retailers, owing, in part, perhaps, to the
fact that the taxes are paid about the end of
the year, and leave those who are not diligent-
~ employed rather short of ready cash.

LATER News FROM THE FIN ISLANDS =
In a recently received number of the AMsira-
lasiaR, published at Sydney, N. S. W., ap-
pears a long letter from a correspondent,
dated at sayosayo Bay, June Goth last.
Would our space permit, we should willingly
insert the article at length. But ii would
make about two columns of the GAZETTE,
and although our readers generally have fire.
sal of the series OF articles from contributor
entitled "a Voyage to the Fills" yet we
cannot devote too much space to that distant
though interesting archipelago. The cores
pondent of the Australasia,. does not differ
materially in his description of the country
and the habits of the people, from that given
by our own contributor, except that there
appears 70 be less danger to be unprecedented
from the now semicivilized savages, and
that cannibalism is not mentioned. 1t seems
that there is quite number of white men
from the colonies who have settled on the
islands aud have gone to raising cotton and
coffee. Laborers are imported from the New
Hebrides group, for the true Fijiinan will not
work. The laborers cost from e3. 10 to e5
landed at Levuka, and the compensation is
one musket a year, for three years, and they
stipulate to be returned to their homes when
the term has expired. The letter concludes
as follows:
"To sum up. / believe that man with
capital of $500 to start with will do we'll Of
course, mean man who has been used to
roughing it little and who knows little of
farming; not man who has been at desk
all his life. A lot Of clerks came down with
Us, and have nearly all gone back awfully
Disguised, and have, have no doubt, given
a most deplorable account of the country;
nor mere working man, who cannot get
employment here, labour being too cheap
for the white man. Ploughs and horses are
of no use, as the country is too steep for
them to work on. On the Rewa River one
settler has them, but that country won't
grow Sea Island cotton, and the other kinds
don't pay so well. Besides it is fearful
place for mosquitoes; indeed, 1t is that river
which has given the FIJI Islands such bad
name for these pests. ~. c."

THE HAND OF DEATH has once more been
laid on some amongst us. Mr.. Frank Mol
teno, native of Peekham, Surry, England,
where be was born in 1916, paid his last
tribute on Saturday, the 2sth of February,
after a very short Illness He came to these
Islands in 1887 He has been for many years
an enterprising owner in several coasters,
and was the late owner of the schooner
Nettie Merrill. He was very popular amongst
our old settlers, and is now deeply regretted
by bis numerous friends, who will long re-
member his kindness, urbanitv, and amiable
aud pleasant disposition. AS business man,
nothing could equal his ght-forwardness
and activity,-well known and fully appreci-
ated by all who had to deal with him. In
him we lose valuable member Of our CON-
munity. He leaves two sisters in England,
to mourn his death.
Mr. s P. Nohea, native Hawaiian, died
on the same day, Of congestion of the lungs
His example was encouraging for good, for
he was unquestionably very skillful mocha
mic and useful member of our community, and
as such enjoyed the confidence of all who in
trusted him with work
Mr. Alex. Houston, of San Francisco, died
on Sunday night. He had been long sick
of consumption, and even our beautiful eli
mate could not stay the powerful hand of
death His brotherin-law, Mr.. Morrison,
who accompanied him to the Islands, is alb
sent on visit to Maui
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wifher at the north winds breath,
But all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o Death.n
The truth of tine above-quoted sentiment
of an eminent poetess 1--WE quote from men,
ory,) was never more forcibly brought TO
mind than on Monday morning last, when
our community were apprised of the three
deaths aforementioned, within the previous
thirty-six hours. In a small community like
ours, we sadly miss the well-known form,
the pleasant joke and CHEEKY laugh, of an
old and respected resident like the one whom
the insatiatc monster" has just taken from
among us. A stranger, also, from a foreign
land, in search of health, found here friends
and grave. A prominent native, very
worthy man and an able mechanic, also sue
cumbed to the grim tyrant, on the evening
Of Saturday. Two other sudden deaths are
reported between Saturday and Monday.
Some are of opinion that several of these
deaths have resulted from typhoid fever, but
We do not know that the physicians have
accepted that view of the case
