TIT FOR TAT-Miss Lucy Arnott, trim
little girl from down east, while waking
along one Of the sinuous streets OF Boston,
one fue summer day, was accosted By a
spruce Young fellow in this wise:
Pardon me. Miss, but-but your petit
coat hangs little below your dress; and
when you passed the hotel just now, some
Of the young fellows made comments and
laughed, and you may be going some dis
tance, 50 | made bold to tell you, and he
bowed very graciously, as if he had either
conferred or received q great obligation
Yes, sir, said Lucy, Il hope may be
able to serve you ike good turn some
time
The young fellow strutted on proudly. He
had on patent leather boots, fashionable
tight pants, which were very tight, carried
a cane and wore beaver. Presently gust
of wind raised the graceful fall Of his coat
tails, and displayed an increasing rent in his
pantaloons-a sewing machine had been
false. Lucy saw the rent, and quick as
thought she exclaimed, at the top Of her
voice: Look here, sirl" The dandy was
ali attention. I beg your pardon, sir, but
you mag be going some distance, and for
fear some one may laugh at you, sir, deem
ed it my duty 10 tell you, SIT, that your pan
falcons must have been too tight, for when
the wind lifted your coat tails II revealed q
-a-rent
He was last seen running around corner,
holding his coat tails down, cursing the in
gratitude Of women.

In Virginia, where the law fixes the mar
rage fee at 81, there Is remiuiscence of a
couple who many years ago called on a par
son and requested him to marry them
w here is my fee p said the functionary-
The parties who were to unite their fortunes
did so at once, and found the joint amount
to be twenty seven cents. Il can't marry
you for that sum, said the irate old gen.
tleman. "A little bit of service viii 60 a
long way" suggested the male applicant
All no, said the parsoni you don / pay
for the size of the pill, but for the good you
hope it viii do you The lass, intent on
marrying, began 10 weep, but the parson
was inexorabie, and the couple turned sadly
to depart. just then happy thought
seemed to strike the forlorn maiden, and
she turned and cried through her tears:
Please, sir, if you can't marry Us full up,
won't you marry Us twenty seven cents
worth? We can come for the rest some 9TH
er time" This was too much for the par
son. He married them full up, and they
went on their way rejoicing.

contrary to the Constitution, and to the well
being Of the people
Il was now halfpast nine O'Clock, the
President proposed TO adjourn to another
evening. but some Of the meeting advised
him that they did not want him to tell
them when to 60 home, apparently, for
getting that he as a member might sng-
gest that course as properly as any other.
There was loud calls for the question, which
Mr. Keawehunahala had risen to debate,
and which the President in vain declared
was new motion, and therefore debate
able. Several enthusiastic people threaten
to depoSe the President. If he does not
pat the question on Mr.. ThompsOn's reso-
lutions, wherefore he complies. and they
were carried by large vote, though a
very considerable minority voted against
them; so it viii be observed that the
meeting finally passed, without debate,
resolutions rather diverse from the ex-
pressed object of their meeting, and from
the line Of remarks of their most approved
speakers. The resolutions being to ad-
nit all nationaIities alike, which includes
Chinese, against whom the defamation
was directed; that Government should
NOT GREATLY ASSIST the bringing in of
Chinese. which it never has, the employ
ers having always paid the whole expense

the expense Of the Commissioner and

steam Communication.

tbs people OF these islands take the
hvelieSt interest in the establishing Of
steam lines across the Pacific. We have
shown ourselves ready to encourage, aud,
10 the extent OF our ability, 10 supper;
and assist such ocean steamers as have
proposed, or that in fact have brought US
into connection with our ueighbors.
When the Pacific Mail Company pro-
posed to touch at Honolulu. with their
Cnina steamers, the Company found the
Government ready to accori to them
every facility needed at this harbos, and
also to make the port virtually free one
to the steamers Of their line. Exemption
from pert dues, compulsory pilotage, free
wharfage and water, and exemption from
taxation, on buildings, on Goals, and what
ever property they might find convenient
to locate here Tor the advantage and use
of their steamers.
The project TO connect San Francisco
with Australia by steamers. touching at
the Hawaiian and FIee Islands, is, we
believe, assuming a form that will result
in the formation of company and the
placing Of steamers on the route, The
interest which We have in such line. the
advantage to US in giving US a new mar
ket for our export, and in extending our
trade is obvious to all, who consider the
subject. We believe whenever the line is
inaugurated, il VIII command the support
of everybody here We may have TO con-
tribute for its assured success, more than
has heretofore been done, but We believe
our community are prepared to support
all reasonable expenditure that may be
consistent with our resources and pOpu
