man, though of late dissipated, owing to
the wretched business in which he was
employed.
Notwithstanding his dissipation, and
the great crime of which he is guilty, he
had been kind father and husband, and
never carried his sin into his home.
Bad men tempted him with large profits,
for his genius was invaluable to the reg
ular counterfeiters,-profts. however,

employ and power, he must remain SO,
and take his chances of immense gains
along with possible discovery, conviction

After his arrest, in company with the
chief of the secret service, and two SUBJ
ordinates, he was escorted to his home, a
ruined, disgraced, guilty wretch, and the
scene that ensued was indeed heart-rend-
ing.
A beautiful daughter of sixteen lifted

The. unhappy wife sunk into chair.
Clasping her hands one over the other,
and swaying ro and fro, she moaned, 40
God 0 God why can't die ?"
Her wet face was livid beneath its
tears, and shrunk and sharpened like a
face that is dying. Tears fell from her
staring eyes, and rolled down her pallid
cheeks. The look she turned on the gull
ty man was utterly broken-hearted. The
young daughter sobbed frantically,-
go father, father what have you
done? 2" Then turning to the chief, +" o
don't believe it, sir (; my father could
not do it"
The little girl clung to the officers
knee in childish entreaty. "Don't take
my father to prison; please, please don't"
The boy hid under the bed, and the
baby crawled at the mothers feet, crying
in fright unheeded.
The father looked upon the ruin he
had wrought, the grief he had brought
upon his loved ones, and sob after sob
broke from his bosom. Dashing down
his graver, he cried,-
"God cursed me in my genius, and I'll
never lift it again F" He covered his
face, and in his tears those who loved him
hushed their cries.
The poor wife found her strength and
voice at the piteous sight, and came and
put her hand gently on his shoulder.

A Cleveland boy, 10 years of age,
swallowed bean, which passed down his
windpipe into the opening which leads to
the lung, and finally stopped there. He
appeared to be dead. A deadly pallor
overspread his countenance, the eyes were
CLASSY and without expression, the mus
cles all relaxed, and the respiration en-
tirely suspended. Shortly after the sur
geon arrived breathing ceased entirely
for minute and half. The bean was
then extracted. A longitudinal incision
having been made in the neck, just be-
low the Adams apple, an instrument was
inserted, and the bean drawn up and
pulled out by forceps, the boy still pre-
senting the appearance of a lifeless
corpse After the bean had been ex-
tracted the incision was held open by two
hooks, and by pressing on the chest the
air in it was>driven out. The blood at
the opening was spunged off and by re-
lieving the pressure on the breast and
pressing on the sides beneath the arms,
air was drawn in through the aperture
made by the incision. A mechanical
passage Of air was thus established, and
by continued efforts the child began to
breathe, and was saved.

AN ISLAND RoMANcE.-The opening
of the Midland railroad furnishes the
Oswego Commercial Advertiser an cp-
portunity to revive the story of the
Frenchman's Island. The island is in
Oneida Lake, and contains twenty-eight
acres. The story is one of the most ro-
mantle ever written.
During the French revolution of 1893,
when the French nobility were compelled
to seek safety in fight, and the trains Of
exiles to this country were crowded with
dukes and princes Of the blood, the Count
st. Hillery, young Frenchman, and
his beautiful and accomplished wife, a
daughter of the noble house of Clermonf,
landed upon our shores. Following the
train of emigrants westward, they reach
ed Oneida lake, then on the great thor
oughfare of travel, and attracted by the
beautiful island and its primative forests,
they landed upon it. and concluded to
make it their home. Here in the deep
solitude of nature, they enjoyed for many
monthsperfect peace and quietude. Their
place of residence was at length discov-
cred by Chancellor Livingston, who had
formerly enjoyed the elegant hospitality
of the lady's family in Paris. He visited
them in their rural home, and after
spending short time with them he pre-
vailed upon them to return with him to
his mansion upon the Hudson. There
they continued to reside until Bonaparte
had put an end to the reign of terror and
restored much of the confscated proper
ty to the exiles of the revolution, when
they returned to France. Several years
after, as Livingston stood upon the banks
of the Seine amidst a crowd of distin-
guished Parisians. to witness the first ex-
pertinent of Robert Fulton in steam nav
igation, he was recognized by the count,
who at once took him to his residence
and treated him during his stay in Paris
as generous benefactor and an honored
guest. Livingston's mansion upon the
Hudson, and the first steamboat of Full
ton and Livingston were both named, in
honor of the ladies family Clermont.

..Never rouch a King,

Such was the answer of an in6rm monarch to
one who had saved him from a dangerous fall.
Mr.. CHARLES THATCHER, vocalist, has been in
formed that a license will be granted him to give
another entertainment. Tardy justice is better
than continued injustice. We congratulate the
Minister of the Interior on the good sense which
he.has shown by the issuance of the license. The
only condition imposed upon Mr.. Thatcher is
that he shall not mention the name of His Maj
esty. A strange c~xaction this, when we consider
that the parties who impose the restriction daily
hear, without visible emotion, the name of the
Ruler of the Universe taken in vain.
Strangely too, the men whom We hear bluster-
ing about the divine tight of Kings, generally
seek to strengthen their postulates with a round
oath in which the KING OF KINGS is mentioned in
q most impious manner. IF the parties who are
so singularly loyal would be as particular as to
the advice they give His Majesty, and would
strive to maintain by good works the purity of
their own character, neither they nor their Royal
Master could become the butt Of writer's or sing
ers, without exciting the just and ~virtuous indig-
nation Of every loyal subject.
That this obsolete idea of the divine right of
Kings should exist in the minds of the employees
of the Government is an evidence of subserviency,
which we could wish had not cropped out SO
prominently just now. To such we recommend
the perusaI of VIM. Hazlitt's : Table Talk" In
his essay "On the Regal Character " he says

laying strata upon strata of love and peace in that
..new creation" now working out In this world
of sin.
There is a fact or two that should be stated in
these closing lines, regarding government vessels
visiting these Micronesian microscopic islands. The
jamestown is a sail vessel. Her visit has clearly
demonstrated that such vessels are not the ones to do
the work she was commissioned to do. A steamer,
or 9 auxiliary - vessel, is what is needed. Such are
the winds during a large part of the year, light often
and battling such are the currents, and SO many
are the shoals and sunken rocks, especially on enter
ing a passage, that steam seems to be the only proper
motive-power at these times for war vessels Rapid
iy of movement in such a vessel is often necessary
in shifting from port to port. There IS no doubt, the
influence of the Ja2aestoIcn, as good as 1t has been,
might have been largely increased, could she have
steamed from one harbor to another, and let all kings
and chiefs see her massive strength. We shall nope
for the cause of science, religion and order that these
islands will not be wholly abandoned by the United
States Government, but again, and at a proper time,
a steam war vessel be sent. If such q vessel comes,
it will not only make her more safe IN light WINDS,
Gains, currents, and among sunken rocks, but serve
against the t~reachery of natives, who might take
advantage of the helpless condition of a sail vessel IN
a calm. Yours truly, f. L. DoANE-

the Southern States was equal TO 5000, 900 bales of
400 pounds each and that the value was no less
than $3.50, 000, 900. These figures seem to recall the
prosperous years Of the South when cotton was
King. The tobacco crop of last year in the same
States was estimated to be worth S37 900. 900.

Population and Armies.

A gentleman, who has recent official data from
Europe, corrects cur statement taken last week
from the Bulletin relative to the armies and
population of Prussia, France, and other coun-
tries:
The population of Prussia is = q 1909, SAB

federation, ,25I,9 1893

The Grand Army of France, including the in

If the sgarde mobile be not included, its
strength is $50 900. She has GO iron-clads, with
] 100 guns, $50 wooden vessels, with 2,762 guns,
and 81 paddle wheel steamers, with 1l6 guns.

The States of Bavaria, Wurtemburg and Baden
have in addition $50 900 troops, making in all a
grand total of German forces available in this
war of 1,I27, 1862.
According to this statement. the German forces
are much larger than those of France. But in
this war, we think, it will not be the nation
which can show the largest numbers, but that

IL is to this truism that we ascribe all the difhcul-
ties which have stood between MIR. Thatcher ana
the Interior Department. When men, paid from
the public treasury, can find no better business
than to go around and gather up the Sunday morn

The DUKE OF EDINBURGH.-It may not be gener-
ally known to our readers that Prince Alfred, who
last year visited Honolulu, will soon become q Sover-
eign. By an arrangement between the British Gov
eminent and the Parliament of Sake oburg-Gotha,
he will succeed to the Sovereignty of that grand
duchy. on the death of the reigning Duke, his uncle,
who is childless. Had the late Prince Consort sur
vived he would have been first in the line of succession
from which his eldest son, the Prince of Wales, is ex-
cluded, because it is now a fixed principle in England
that no British Sovereign shall again possess electo-
rate or ducby in any part of Continental Europe.

sJSIIleSUO NVn.'
The visit of the jamestown to Micronesia, and
the success which has attended it, as recorded in
our last weeks issue and to-day, in Rev. Mr..
Doane's letter, will reflect credit to her COM
mander, Captain Truxtun, to his officers, and to
the United States Government, which sent them
on the disagreeable and rather hazardous service.
But Notwithstanding the safety of the ship was
twice. imperilled, from causes which no human
provision could guard against, she has safely
returned to port, and fully executed the delicate
trust with which her commander was commits
stoned. :
1t will be remembered that the King of Buta-
ritari Zone of the Gilbert Islands,) committed
several outrages and murders some years since on
Hawaiians. While there, Captain Truxtun in
quired, at the request of the Hawaiian Govern
ment, into these, and found the King ready to
promise good conduct for the future. But as the
murders were committed during a drunken carni-
val, it is not improbable that similar occurrences
may take place again, whenever a supply OF
the maddening poison is distributed among the
islanders.
Rev. Mr.. Mahoe, the Hawaiian missionary at
Apaiang, who was shot about q year ago, was

and found to be improving gradually, the wound
having healed as well as might be expected. A
supply of medicines was left for him, in case he
required them. Mr.. Mahoe, though partially
paralyzed, was able to attend to his duties, and
showed the true Christian spirit, in resolving not
to abandon his field of missionary labors.
The letter of Mr.. Doane, American missionary
at Ascension Cor Ponape) Island, in another
column, will show that Captain Truxtun acted
there as he did elsewhere, with discretion and
frmness, and that all were pleased with his visit.
The pirate Pease's establishment there was broken
up, and the land which he had surreptitiously
obtained through chief, was restored to the mis-
sion from which it had been forcibly taken. A
few such instances of firm justice will tend to
correct the abuses which have SO long been
endured among those islands.
Wherever the jamestown went she was well
coined, and her cruise has undoubtedly produced
a good effect, both on the natives and foreigners,
who have now seen with their own eyes a war
ship and naval officers of the great nation of
whose existence they had heretofore been SO
incredulous. We trust that the American Gov
eminent will instruct the commanders of its war
steamers, when visiting these islands, to extend
their cruise, at least once in each year, to the
and Caroline Islands.

A MIschicvous Law.

Among the Acts passed at the late session of
the Legislative Assembly was one so brief that it
failed to arrest the serious attention of that body,
and slipped through in the haste and hurry which
often attend the closing proceedings. Here it is:
"Section All cattle, horses, mules, donkeys,
sheep, goats and swine, not marked or branded
according to law, and which may be running wild
and at large, upon any of the lands of this King
dom, shall belong to, and be the property OF the
owners of the lands on which the said animals may
be found running.
Section All laws and parts of laws in conflict
with the provisions of this act, are hereby repealed.
Approved this 18th day of July, A. D., 1870"
Under this law the O1ner Of {" any of the lands
of this Kingdom - can appropriate to himself any
or all of the above enumerated animals which
may be found trespassing on his land. Under 1T
they become his property, the only proviso being
that they be unbranded and running wild Tor
loose) and at large. 1t is not necessary that they
be wild animals, but q tame animal running loose
and at large becomes, under a free construction
of the law, the property of the owner of the land.
The law would seem to have been passed
in the interest of land owners, who can in
this way stock their ranches at very little expense
or, by driving animals on to their land, kill and
appropriate all they want. 1t did not receive the
support of the Ministers, one of whom said that
it would inevitably lead to bloodshed if enacted,
and another characterized it as Ubiquitous. 1t,
however, was rushed through, and every one was
surprised to learn that it received the royal
assent, the Minister of the Interior being the
most surprised so much so that he declared that
it had not been brought before the Cabinet. Why?
1t is reported that the carrying out of the
arbitrary principle legalized by this law has
already given rise to serious trouble on another
island but we are disposed to doubt this, as the
law has only this week been published, and no
one would undertake to act under it before its
official PRONUNCIATION. Be this as it may, one
thing is certain, that whoever attempts to take
from another, under cover of this law, what
belongs only to the latter, will surely stir up ill
will and endless strife, which will terminate in
serious disturbances.
Let us suppose that sheep or goats, which are
difficult to brand, or a valuable cow or horse,
stray from the owner, and after much search he
finds his animals in the possession of an owner
" of any of the lands of this Kingdom" He
may claim them, but there being no brand recog-
nizable, but that of the land owner, what remedy
has he? Under this law. none at all.
= We sincerely hope that no owner or occupant
of Z" any of the lands of this Kingdom will take
advantage of the provisions of this law to enrich
himself; and that the first act of the Legislature
of 1872 will be to repeal Il law which can only
produce incalculable mischief and trouble.
