The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1872-02-03

The editor Of the Topeka Record has come to
the conclusion that, as an independent journalist.
he is a failure, and he has retired in disgust. He
advises young Journalists, if they would make a
living, 8 to avoid the luxury Of independence to
cringe at the feet of power; to always help the
strong and kick the weak; and to avoid indulg-
ing any opinion where results are doubtful" If
this editors experience is any criterion, Kansas
must be a bad field for newspaper enterprise.
Indiana has one editor who is thoroughly con-
tent with this world aud its belongings. Indeed,
he is inclined to : brag - stifly of bis comfortable
situation. He says The editor is now in the
possession of the ~prettiest and the smartest daugh-
ter in the State, the handsomest and most iutelli-
gent wife in the State, the fastest and BEST horse
In the State, the best cow IN the State. the best
pig in the State, he prints as good a paper as
anybody else does in the State, and in this state
of affairs he is happy We should say he
ought to be.

sad Drowning case.


A FATHER AND SON DROWNED IN THE CHRISTIAN
NEAR NEWPORT. ore a
Yesterday forenoon, the usually quiet neigh
borhood of Newport was excited by the report
that two men had been drowned in the Chris
tiana, near the mouth of White Clay creek
The neighbors near the place Of tho occur
renee were alarmed by the distressing cries Of
boy standing on the south bank Of
the creek. John Bradford and Lewis weldin
being the first at the spot received the following
intelligence from the son He said his fathers
name was John W. Seibert, and his brotber's
name was Jacob II. Seibert the former a printer
of Philadelphia, and that in order to avoid the
noise and confusion OF the city, they concluded
to take days cunning along the Christiana.
Leaving the cars at Delaware Junction, on
Wednesday night, they walked on to Newport,
where they arrived yesterday morning. and went
up the North bank Of the Christiana towards
Stanton, but when arriving opposite the farm Of
MIR. John Bradford, and finding boat there
concluded to cross oyer, which they did.
Desiring to leave the boat where they found
it, the oldest son divested himself of all his
clothing except his boots, and took the boat
back intending to swim on his return TO his
father. He started on his return trip having left
the boat, but his boots proving clog dragged
him under water, from which he never arose.
The father immediately plunged in and went to
the relief Of his son, but only to meet the same
fate. The Coroner was Immediately notified,
who repaired to the spot, and in company with
the gentlemen before named, and others. made
efforts for the recovery Of the bodies.
The young man was found last evening, and
the father this morning. both near where the
accident occurred. coroner's inquest was held
to-day, and verdicts rendered in accordance with
the facts given.
Several friends of the deceased were present
from Philadelphia at the inquest, amongst whom
was Rev I. A Fernley, Pastor OF the 11th street
Nj. f. Church. the deceased being respected
members Of the same. The bodies have been
sent to Philadelphia for interment

Strauss Writes Home-IiIs OpIoIon of th,
Jubilee,

htfnuss writes HOne-hiH Opi6iOn OF the
Jubilee.
Herr Strauss has addressed letter to the ed-
tor of the Vienna Musical Journal of which the
following is a translation:
Being convinced that genuine recital Of the
arrangements and grand success of the Boston
Jubilee will be Of particular interest, especially
az great doubt has existed in Europe concerning
the whole undertaking and the accomplishment
OF its announced programmes, must assure
you that not only has everything stated been
carried out, but that great deal more than was
agreed has been accomplished, The giant Coli
scum, elegantly constructed and perfect in its
Rcoustical arrangements, has an auditorium ca
lable OF seating over $4,000 persons Besides
this the orchestra contains some 500 instru.
mentalists and nearly 10000 singers. mon
ster organ blown by steam, noble in tone and
overwhelming in its effects, is reared at the back
OF the grand platform.
When the European idea of the standard Of
music Id considered the realization of 10 success
fnl an undertaking is simply wonderful. 1t was
only made possible by perfect organization and
the Willingness of everybody to make pers onal
sacrifices and to labor for the general good.
Thus it is that the reputed fable has become a
present truth.
Whom consider the grand effect of the fresh
voices OF the chorus, the splendid orchestra, and
the mighty organ, am forced to confess that
the jubilee il superbly impressive enterprise.
And this noble impressiveness results not only
from the huge masses of the performers but
also from the talent and admirable precision with
which all OF the music is executed.
From all portions of America the people flock
to join in the festivities, and every day witnesses
assemblages of upward of 90 900 persons. l can
not deny my joyful experiences in this extraor-
dinary festival are marred by one serious
thought That is, that in Europe, where exists
every musical advantage and where such an
artistic undertaking ought to be much easier,
there is no one with the enterprise to project
such grand international gathering.
lhe 4th day Of July will close this incompara-
BILE musical event. JOHANN STRAUSS.
