Before getting TO the anchorage at Lahaina, look
ing down the coast, we had seen pillars of clouds Of
dust, sailing out over the sea from the direction of
Maalaea Bay, and at Ukumehame the fierce gusts of
the trade wind came w~histling down to us over the
bleak mountain sides. From this onward it blew
very heavily in squalls, careeniDg the steamer over
several strakes, though she had not a rag Of canvas
and the awning had been taken down in timely pre-
caution. Numerous hats few off from unwary heads
and disappeared among the yeasty waves, and sIch
was the force of the wind that a mattress was actu-
ally blown from beneath a young lady lying on the
companion way. As VIC edged along the coast, it
became pretty evident that no boat could pull against
the force of the wind at the open bay of Maalaea, and
so the steamer was brought to and anchored under n
steep bluif at a place called

Ignoramuses in the United States.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Post has been examining the forthcoming
report of the Commissioner of Education
The figures below which are the result of his
study, are commended to the thoughtful
throughout the country:
With population of 3S, 113, 253 in the United
States, there are $780, 074 persons over ten years
of age who cannot write-more than fourteen
per cent Of these CELEBRATES" there are: Ma
tive, 1882, 210; foreign, III, 1854. This immense
difference in favor of the foreign population is
at first sight the most surprising feature of this
report. Of the native "illiterates," however,
4,11S,5S9 are in the Southern States, where ne
groes and their fellow-victims of the slave sys-
tenn, poor Whites" swell the number. In the
northern and the Pacific States, however, the
relation of native to foreign ignorance is less
fattering to America than might be supposed
there being 764, GIL native and 6,5S1 foreign
'illiterates." This shows much larger pro-
portion of ignorant among the foreign than
among the native population, but the number
of our fellow-citizens born in this country who
cannot read and write is appalling. If we
compare races instead of nativity, we find the
figures as follows: white, 2879, 543; other races,
2,7S0,53. Even our race cannot pride itself
very much on the comparison, though here, al
SO, the proportion of ignorance is largely
against the black man-Chinese and Indians
being so few in number as hardly to deserve
consideration. Advocates of 'Ewhite mans
government" find little to encourage them in
the figures before us. In the Southern States
there are 1,516,339 white "ignoramuses, and
2,673, 633 of all other races, mostly negroes, of
course. The percentage of ignorance among
the negroes, therefore, bears relation to that
among the whites of about three to one-not an
unfSvorable showing, if we consider the recent
condition of the negroes
Comparing the sexes, we see that out of s.
643 ga 'illiterates," excluding the Chinese and
Indians, who are not classified by sex or age,
9, COS, S47 ans males and 1904 687 are females
425, $40 more iris and women who cannot write
than there are m,>u and boys. In the southern
states the difference is less marked; the pre-
ponderance of Ignorant women being in some
measure due to the ACCUMULATION of girls in
northern factories. Of the whole excess of
425, $40 in the female sex, 2O9 26, belong to the
northern states, although the number OF Hitter.
ates in these states is less than one-fo,rth OF
the whole number in the country In the "a
cific states there is an excess on the other sio>s
of $40. Our correspondent gives tables, also,
by which equally interesting comparisons may
be drawn, showing the number of ignorant men
women and children, according to age. He
also calls attention to significant but not sur
prising fact that personal violence and illitera-
cy have closely corresponding record in vari-
GUS parts of the country.

THE POLITICAL MUDDLE-GREAT EXCITEMENT
BUT NO, OUTBREAK. utf.f
New ORLEANS, Jan. 22-There was intense
excitement. Large crowds of people gathered
at the place appointed by Carter, but having
been informed by Gen. Emory of his instruc
tons from Washington, Carter did not proceed
to carry out his plan as published Saturday. At
II o'clock he began to make speech yindicat-
ing the action of the federal authorities, and
closed by advising his friends to commit no vio-
lerce. 81
When Speaker Carter concluded bis speech
to-day the crowd slowly dispersed. Canal street
was unusually quiet this afternoon The action
of the President in preventing a conflict seems
to give general satisfaction to the citizens In
view of the early coming of the Congressional
committee, which promises a peaceful solution
of the political troubles here. A copy of the
following was sent to Speaker Carter and to
Gov. Yarmouth this morning. b eE9

TRANSPORTING THE COMPLEXION. - The
transformation produced by HAGAN's MAGNo-
LA BALM are quite as astonishing as any
scene on the stage of the theatre. That lannon's
beautifier transmutes a sallow, peeky looking
complexion, into one in which the lily and the
rose vie for admiration, and imparts to dry,
harsh skin, the softness of perfect loneliness.
Tan and freckles, which country air and sum
light are pretty to produce, in spite of par
asols and sundowns are completely obliterated
by IT. while it has a perfectly magical effect in
banishing undue redness, blotches and pimples
from the skin. When the lady who has used
it to remedy her complexional defects looks in
the mirror, she is equally astounded and graft
fed at the improvements in her appearance.
Every blemish has disappeared her neck arms
and bosom now rival in whiteness the snowy
collar which encircles her throat, her cheek
mantles with peach-like bloom, and she is
ready to invoke blessing on the inventor of
the article which has wrought such delightful
transformation. jan22-eod1w&w1t -
