A Good Hog Story.

/ ONCE witnessed fight between
pony and boar, in which both sides ex-
hibitcd a good deal of that natural art of
war to which Mr.. Corwin referred as
blessing the many militia colonies OF
Congress. / had ridden home one after
noon upon my little sturdy tough Dick,
and turning him loose in the stable lot,
poured upon the ground quantity Of
corn to serve him as dinner. Upon this,
q huge boar, nearly as large and quite as
heavy as the pony, trotted up, unbidden,
to take part in the repast. Tough Dick,
not liking the company nor the loss OF
his provender, bit the hog, who in return
threw up his tusk, catching the pony's
nostril upon the sharp point, and inf1ict-
ing an ugly little wound. Quick as
thought almost, the pony wheeled and
planted his two ironed heels upon the
bosrs side The blow sounded like that
of fail, and rolled the hog over. Noths
ing daunted, he regained his legs and
again made at the little horse. The
plucky creature was ready for him, and
again sent the hog rolling This second
charge seemed to give the boar realizing
sense OF the inequality of such contest.
Regaining his feet again, he trotted
sone PAGES away and stood contemplating
his foe from under his long ears, grunting
and swapping bis jaws in wrath and dis
gust. Tough Dick, with his ears drawn
back, eyed his antagonist as if expecting
q renewal of the conflict. After some
seconds the boar began walking in q
circle about the pony. He kept beyond the
reach of his heels, and would at times walk
and at times trot; and all the while Tough
Dick kept his eye on and his heels toward
the foe. This continued for some time,
and might have ended in the hogs re-
treat but the pony was hungry and aggra-
waited at the interruption to his meal. In
an unhappy moment he attempted to take
mouthful Of corn The boar, Selling
the advantage, rushed in. Escaping the
heels, he charged in under the belly OF
the pony, and would have inflicted an
ugly wound with his tusks but the force
of his attack carried him beyond the
point of danger, and before he could es-
cape the wicked pony had him by the ear,
precisely as q dog would have caught
him. The boar squealed dismally, and
began turning 50 as TO bring his tusks un-
der the throat or jaw Of his enemy.
Slowly but steadily he swung around,
suffering intense torture in the twisting
given lbs unhappy ear. Finding the
boar likely to gain his point, the pony
suddenly released the ear. The two had
been pulling with their entire weight
against each other, and the unexpected
release staggered the hog, and ere he
could recover q welldirected kick rolled
him over / thought the animal killed
but he slowly recovered, and, rising to
his feet staggered away, pausing at times
to shake his ugly head, as if wondering
how it all came about-Doa Psatt, in
Lipptncotts Magdzine.

part of the population, they have been In
most instances the most abused. They
have been from time immemorial the sport
and prey of " land sharks and ''sharpers," ,"
who have made it business to defraud
them of their advances and of their pay
at the end of their voyages. The people
of no commercial city in Europe or Amer
lea but have been disgraced by permitting
those who have brought the wealth of
other countries to their doors, to be rob
bed and debased before their eyes. 1t
should be cause of pride to all Hawaiians
that this has never beef permitted in this
country; that our seamen, to whose en-
terprise we cwe so much, have never been
permitted to be thrown into the hands of
such vampires as generally infest the ports
of commerce. In this respect, we are
far ahead of other civilized States, mot
excepting Massachusetts, from whence we
often seek inspiration in morals and state
craft, for our seamen are, and always
have been, shipped under the supervision
of the Government, and every safeguard
is thrown around them to guard them
against i'll treatment at sea, and the wiles
of designing knaves on shore. No Ha-
waiian is permitted to go to sea except he
is shipped before the proper officer, whose
duty it is to see that his advance is prop
erly paid to him, and that in all settle
ments, his accounts have been properly
kept, and what is due to him is paid to
himself, without the Intervention of any
middle-man." 1t is gratifying to all to
see so great commercial country as the
United States waking up to the wants of
so important portion of its citizens, who
have hitherto received but little effectual

"Mr 0'Neilrs bill for the appointment of Ship

chant vessels, would deal heavy blow at a rlass of
men whose practices have been tolerated too long
OF all the helpless mortsls earth, poor Jack is
usually the worst off; and be consequently falls
prey TO harpies who rob him when he lands, and
then sell him to skipper who carries him off to
sea. The bill, among other excellent provisions,
creates system by which wages are paid and en-
gagements made with an official sanction. The Cap
tain is bound respect the seamans rights aud the
plan of giving certificates is incentive to faithful
duty on the part of the crew. There hardly any
of the dangers to which sailors are peculiarly ex-
posed WHEN on shore which this bill does not miti-

places appointments in the hands of the United
States Circuit Judges is good one and would seem
to free thse appointments from the stigma of being
made on merely political grounds ~ y. Times.
We do not know the exact provisions
of the Bill introduced by Mr.. O'Neil, but
from the object of it we have no doubt
that it is good one, and presume that
all those who desire the prosperity and
moral advancement ofthat important class
of people, the sailors, fervently wish the

time more neglected by various maritime

In the AdUertiser of last week is an ar
ticle in referring to Rev. J. s. Green of Ma
kawao, who is an occasional correspondent
of this paper. The article in question
bears the usual characteristics of the per-
sonal references frequently made by that
paper, to those who do not agree with the
principles from time to time advocated in
its columns. So far, however, as the per-
sonal allusions are concerned, we shall
leave Mr.. Green to deal with the AdUeti-
ser as he sees proper, but in regard to the
statement that Mr.. Harris understood
from the letter, that Mr. Green endorsed
him and his arguments" and the inference
drawn that Mr. Green had expressed an
opinion therein in regard to Chinese i'm
migrants, we would refer to the letters in
question, which will show that no word
has ever been said by Mr.. Green through
the columns of this paper, or any other on
the subject of Chinese labor, except in the
letter referred to by the AdUertiSer. The
subject under discussion, when extracts
from the letters from Mr. Green were read
in the Assembly, was the Master and Ser
want Law, which applies alike to the peo-
pie of all nationalities who have bound
themselves under its provisions. The per
sonal observation of the writer of the let
ter went to prove that in a district where
disease and death prevailed to an alarm
ing extent, those who were employed un-
der the Master and Servant law, enjoyed
an almost entire immunity from the pre-
vailing epidemic, and the venerable phi
lanthropist, who has devoted his life to the
good of the people, saw and was willing
TO give his testimony to the salutary
influence of the system, upon the people.
1t is singular thing that the theoreti-
cal philanthropists of the metropolis are
blind to the fact that many of the most
industrious and valuable of our native
population are employed under the law
which they consider to be so obnoxious !;
and that they are not only so employed,
but that they are that part of the popula-
ton to whom we are to look for the per-
petuity of the race. They always send
their sympathies out for the poor deluded
Chinese, who are induced, as they say, by
false representations to leave their luxu-
riousll homes, where they get from fifty
cents to two dollars per month for their la
Dor, from which they have to clothe and feed
themselves, and are brought here, are paid
four dollars per month and found, and re-
ceive good treatment at the hands of their
employers. Here is where the AdoertiSer
made the mistake in regard to the express
sions of Mr. Green, in his letter. He mere
ly said that the people employed on plan
tations in his district were healthy, while
among those unemployed, great many
were sick, and the inference was drawn
that seeing such was to be the case, he as
well as many other good men and
true philanthropists, looked upon a sys-
TEN which makes the people industrious
and happy as a good one. There is not
quite so much sentiment in Mr.. Green's
view of the case as in that of some others,
but there is much more sense.
