The United Brethren.

The Anderson Fntelligenesr publishes
a letter from Mr.. Warren D. Wilkes,
of that county, explaining and defend
ing his connection with that organi-
zation. -s~.'-
In answer to bis statement, that
the object of the Order is to purify
the party, the Intetligencer we'll says:
Through the agency of an organi-
zation concocted by the very class of
Republicans who are responsible for
the past management Of public affairs,
| it is now proposed to purify the Radi-
cal ranks, and get up the standard of
capacity, honesty and reliability" as
test OF fitness for position. There
can be no objection to the accomplish.
ment of this purpose, as all classes of
our citizens would materially profit
by such q result. But we differ very
widely with Mr.. Wilkes, who seems
to believe that the Omitted Brethren
will give direction to the power Of
the Radical party in consummating
these desirable objects. We are
firmly convinced that the Brotherhood
will be used, not only to continue in
power like officials to those now ruling
the State, but to bolster up and defend
past corrupt practices. thereby per-
petuating the evils so justly censurcd
by enlightened public opinion. When
reforms begin through the agency Of
the Brotherhood, we will cheerfully
accord full credit to that organization
but until practical demonstration is
made Of their intentions, and dprofessed
faith is supplemented Ly actual works
we shall remain among that incredu
Ions portion Of the commonwealth
who do not believe that secret politica
organizations are productive Of good
much less the "United Brethren,
which is 80 much doubted by unfinch
ling Republicans. Of faithful record, tc
our certain knowledge. .a

notice:
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1872-02-07

He WANTED AN AIRY BED.--Mr Wakefield,
member for Christchurch, in speaking on the Ed
ucatiOn Bill is reported to have said, he knew
gentleman who had held a very distinguished and
useful Office for the last twentY-one years, in the
Colony, and who very frequently made mistakes
in the use and abuse of his his. A curious in
stance Of il occurred some years ago. Another
friend of his-also now high in office-was out at
Melvern, Canterbury, and while attempting to
mount his horse, sustained an accident by which
his leg was fractured. Having despatched mes
senger for doctor, they endeavOred to convey
the gentleman down from the hills. For this
purpose they called on Mr. Cooley, the agent of
the Canterbury Association a gentleman de-
cribed as a Government official for twenty one
years, and known to possess an air bed. Mr.
Cooley thought it would suit admirably to use as
a litter in removing the injured gentleman. Mr.
Cooley accordingly asked him if he had got an
air bed, to which he replied in the affirmative
and consequently sent the horse-hair SQUAD of
sofa. On this, Mr.. Cooley said what he wanted
was an "air bed" Well sent you one" said
the official 20 sent you an air bedr " &" No, no.
l mean one of those things you blow out, and
which are so comfortable for invalids." "Oh! 1
see; you want hair bed" 4" Yes, yes said Mr.
Cooley, al do want hair bed" And he then
got what he wanted.

A Coon Fish SToRy.-Captain John Evitt, Of
the fishing schooner Chas. II. Price. Of Salem,
Mass which arrived home from n cruise recently,
reports the following strange story:
The schooner was at anchor on Grand Bank,
ten days ago, with about 200 fathoms of hemp
cable out, and about ready to start for home hay-
ing taken about $4,000 lbs of halibut The cook
threw over line TO catch fish for dinner, and
having caught one, threw the line over again and
found it tended aft at a remarkable rate. Think
ing it strange, he called from the cabin the cap
tain, who came on deck, went forward, and found
the vessel going ahead at about five knots speed,
but could not account for it. He ordered all
hands called, and then hove in the cable to within
about thirty fathoms, when they discovered that
their anchor had got booked to large whale,
which they had before seen at some distance.
The whale ran with the schooner some little time
longer. The crew weatherbitted the cable, and
in a short time the whale sounded, broke the an
Choir and carried away with him good part Of it.
The black skin is to be seen on the cable where
it chafed on the whale. The ring and small
piece Of the anchor were all that was left attached
to the cable; the fukes are gone, and are sup
posed to have somehow become attached to the
body of the whale.

that she has more beaux than she knows what TO
do with, just ask her to show them to you, and if
she can't do it, don't tell her that you do not be-
leve it, but intimate that her romantic DISPOSE
ton may have rendered truth stranger to her than
fiction. When you see young lady turn up her
nose at a working man and hear her say 81 would
not marry that dirty mechanic, just ask her to
stop for moment and consider whether she
could get him, and if she says she don't want
him, tell her that it is fortunate for her and the
mechanic also. it is better to tell her this than
to nsinuate that you don't believe it. When you
hear woman Boosting of her virtue, you need
neither look for proofs nor raise doubt on that
question, for it is as easy to believe her truthful
ness as TO believe that mule will not kick in the
dark. When you hear a minister preach the ter
rors Of hell, with sanctimonious face boasting of
his piety and afterward see him rolling ten-pins
and drinking bad whisky, just ask him for proof
of his religion. If be has nothing but his word
for it, just tell him plainly that you don't believe
it. In short, when you hear men and women as
sorting things Of themselves or neghbors which
have the stamp Of improbability on their face,
don't give them the benefit of a doubt, but tell
them that you don't believe word of it.-Ha7,yS-

DARwINIAN RETRoGREssIoN. = The
New Zealand correspondent Of the San
Francisco Aha says:
However strange Mr.. Darwin's theory
that man is descended from monkey
may seem to be to many, the following
particulars in the early history of one of
the present members of Parliament for
New Zealand are related in all sober
earnestness by southern papers: Mr.. BIS
early life was spent in the wilds of South
Africa. When a mere infant he was one
day laid peacefully at rest at the door of
his woodland home His worthy parent,
near the cabin, shot the young offspring
of large monkey, at which the feelings
much wounded. She was, however, driven
away by the approaching hunter, and in
passing the cabin door noticed and stole
the future New Zealand legislator The
loss was not discovered for nearly an
hour afterwards, and then all efforts to
find the robber proved unavailing. Three
months after this period a hunting party
came across a family of monkeys in the
wilderness, and there in the arms of the
careful although untutored wet-nurse, was
the long-lost child, who Chartered and
iibbered in the most approved monkey
fashion, apparently fully equal to the ex-
igencies of the situation. Could there be
any more convincing evidence than this
of the affinity between our. race and those
hairy denizens of the woods? Why did
the hunters step in and thus prevent the
development of another link in the Oar
winian chain The child was borne
home, and under careful nurture and
training the evil effects of bad company
were removed.

THE cable dispatches have variously represented
the disease of the Prince Of Wales as the typhus
and the typhoid fevers. The London Times of
the goth ult sets all doubt on this point at rest
The Prince is suffering from severe form of ty-
phoid or enteric fever strictly zymotc in its orr
gin, the poison which produces it being derived
from imperfect sewerage and decaying vegetables
The more severe effects of this poison are to pro-
duce the fever its minor effects are to induce
less serious disturbances in the human system.
The Prince appears to have contracted the dis
ease while sojOurning with Lord LOndesborough,
as did others of his party, among them Lord Ches-
terrified, who survived the attack but few days.
In the case of Lord Chesterfield the worst and
always fatal form of the disease early became
manifest, viz, malignant liberation of the intes
tines.

PARIS, Jan. 7.-There was an uproarlous scene in
the Assembly yesterday, the occasion being the
reading of large number of petitions praying for
the restoration of Monarchy. Some of the petit
tons wanted the Count de Chambord, Others the
Count de Paris for King. The presentation of their
rival claims excited the partizans of both Princes to
frequent demonstrations, while the Republicans and
Radicals made noisy opposition throughout the
reading, which was frequently interrupted.
The election of Victor Hugo is considered almost
certain 1t is said that his return to the Assembly
will defeat the pending motion for the transfer Of
the seat of Government to Paris, and that the Mon
archsts and enemies of Theirs secretly favor his
election.
