our Sovereign, which was found passing the
rounds of American papers, in order that the
errors which it contained might be corrected. 1t

publishes the same story lcOrd for ,oOrd! oh

Ministers, at least.
The truth is, there was nothing disrespectful
in the story as published here in both papers 1t
is one of the unpleasant duties of a journalist to
endeavor to correct the erroneous statements

fIMPRovEp STocK.-By the British bark Paraguay,
there have been received from England, two thorough
bred bulls, one of the Durham and the other OF the
Devon breed. They have been landed in excellent
condition, Notwithstanding the long passage which
the vessel had, (eight MONTHS and the exhaustion
of the supply of feed put on board for them. These
animals are part of a herd, of the same breeds, hve
heifers from which carried off premiums OF 2OOO
guineas, or an average of $500 apiece. Our
graziers will see at once that they are from the hnest
herds in England, where the improvement Of stock
is carried more nearly 10 perfection than IN any
other country. They are destined for the kohaia
Grazing Ranch on Hawaii, which is devoted solely to
raising cattle. The owner of this ranch is a gentle
man of wealth, residing in England, who has sent
these bulls out to improve the stock on his place.
We have already some very fine cattle on these ISL
ands, but the occasional importation of such animals
will continue to improve them. The Kohala Ranch,
which extends from the sea shore to the summit of
the Kohala mountains, is considered one of the best
located lands for stock raising that We have in the
group. Two years ago We rode over it, when its
hills and valleys were covered with green grass, as
far up the mountains as the eye could reach. and a
morebeautifui cattle range could never be wished for.

Cuui this be so!

Mn. EDITOR On Sunday afternoon, the 9th OF
this present month of January, 1 witnessed an unu.
sual,-I may say an unprecedented-sight in Homo
lulu. In the enclosure on Emma street, known as
Emma Square, a band of musicians were performing
and certainly discOursing very sweet music. One
lively air succeeded another, until it seemed as
though the numerous listeners both natives and
foreigners, must certainly dance, " whilst hornpipes,
jigs, strathspeys and reels, pat life and mettle i their
heels.''
Whilst 1 stood wondering what all this could mean,
on the additionally quiet and legally sacred Hawaiian
Sunday. a bystander, noticing perhaps my air of
wonderment and perplexity, informed me that the
band was then and there reforming at the invitation
of our venerable Police Magistrate. That, 1 con-
ceived, must have been incorrectly stated, when l
remembered that Section 2, Chapter 80 Of the Penal
Code of the Hawaiian Islands. reads es follows:
"The Lords day is taboo: All worldly business, amuse-
Inents and recreation are forbidden on that day and whoever
shall be present at any dancing, public amusement, show or
entertainment. or take part in any game, sport or play on the
1t is impossible, thought 1, that the man who is
appointed to execute the laws should take any part
in their violation, much less be the prime mover
therein.

statute book were put there to be enforced by the
duly appointed officers. 1t may be a mistake of
mine. There may be some of those laws which are
merely put into the book for the looks of the thing,
and are not intended to be carried out. If 30, would
you oblige a constant reader, Mr.. Editor, to point
out-as you are supposed to be posted on every
subject, you knOw-which is which, and which is
tother? For don't you see, it may possibly occur
that 1 shall find it convenient or agreeable hereafter
to do something which the Penal Code condemns,
and l would really like to know how far l can go
without fear of the constable or the judge. For 1
acknowledge that 1 am not naturally an advocate of
a very strict observance of the Sabbath, and would
be glad to learn, authoritatively, whether there
would be any objection to my having a fiddle on the
lawn in front of my house of a Sunday afternoon,
and with my family and friends INDUCING in a
dance. L fancy it would be jolly-although perhaps
some of the church going folks who live across the
way wouldn't exactly like it. But hang their pref
udices, say L. And SO, Mr.. Editor, / await with
your list of the " indulgences' which I
may enjoy under the Penal Code.

Sydney Smiths says that a pun, to be perfection
in its kind, should contain two distinct meanings /;
the one, common and obvious the other. more re-
mote and in the notice which the mind takes Of
the relation between these two sets of words, and
in the surprise which that relation e~xcites, the
pleasure of a pun consists. Miss Hamilton, in her
book on Education, mentions an instance Of a boy
so very neglected, that he never could be brought
to read the word patriarchs but whenever he met
with it he pronounced il partridges. A friend OF
the writer observed to her that it could hardly BIO
considered a mere piece of negligence, for it APP
peared to him that the boy, in calling them
cartridges, was making game OF the patriarehs.
Now, here are two distinct meanings contained In
the same phrase ; for TO make game Of the patri-
archs is to laugh at them or TO make game OF them
is, by a very extravaganza aad laugbable sort oil
ignorance OF words, to rank them among pbeas-
ants, partridges, and other such delicacies, which
the law takes under its protection, and calls game;
and the whole pleasure derived from his pun con
sists in the sudden discovery that two such diner
ent meanings are referable to one form oil express

Half-time schools have recently been established
by the school committees Of several manufacturing
towns in Massachusetts. This plan, it is asserted,
advances the pupils more rapidly and thoroughly
than the common all-day schools. In The mills IL
has been ascertained that such pupils do better
work, and earn more money than they would by
being in the factory all day. The children and
their parents at first were afraid of the scheme, but
as a proof Of the popularity of the plan. IL Is as
serted that the average daily attendance in the
half-time schools is 81 per cent-so high an aver
age being unknown in the common day schools.

eager eyes, the flushed cheeks of the
two players, glowing with the exhilera-
ting sport. More graceful games were
never invented. and they strengthened
the arms, trained the sight. and ex-
panded the chest; but, alas, they are
no longer possible when our girls ere
en2ased IN tight bodices, and can
neither swing their arms freely, nor
lift them above their heads. IF chill
dren, barely In their teens, are put into
corsets, we must expect that they will
fad frolics and hiliarity burdensome
to their young souls. We suspect this
to be the reason for the abandonment
Of such sports; and the fact that GRO
quet requires only the downward move
ment of the arm chiefly accounts for
the continued favor in which it is
held. This game we have as a COM
pensation for all We have lost, but it
requires no exertion, and is servicea-
bic only as tempting young ladies in
to the sunshine and air. Skating is
invaluable as a winter pastime, and
it keeps, also. every fibre and faculty
intent, but its brief day popularity
with girls seems to be over. No pre-
vious training has given them the
physical stamina to endure such ex-
ertion.
The gymnastic evolulions, of late
so much in favor in our schools, re.
quire girls to don loose blouse for
their performance, and, if no other
advantage results, it is a good thing
for them to be conscious twice a week
of some freedom and comfort in dress.
The varied posing of body and limbs
which they require is certainly an
Improvement upon monotonous re-
pose, but how much better is some
active, enlievning game In the open
air, where the movements are sponta-
neous and all the senses alive, than
any methodical tossing Of bean bags
or concerted cracking of elbow joints
under the eye of calisthenic tutor.
