PoLYANDRY IN THR SANDWICH ISLANDS
The census return of these islands for
1872 shows fearful decline among the
native populations decrease at the
rate of about 200 year. The people
are not peculiarly subject to disease. but
the women will not bear children. They
will calmly tell you that they don't want
the bother Of childbirth. and have de.
!iberately praoticed infanticide, or fnti
eide. A gentlewoman kind in manner
will tell this. It is astonishing to oh.
serve their. good natpre and amiability.
and yet be assured of the terrible things
that they are capable of doing. They
have no idea of virtue on personal chasti-
ty. A woman cannot lose castle among
them. Prostitution does not alter in
the slightest degree a woman's position
among her friends. There is no family
organization. They live in groups, and
to great extent live in common. Pol.
yandry is common, and publicly aYowed ;
md they do not seem to realize the
bideousness Of the practice. I know
two pleasant men in business who avow
that they have but one wife between
them. There arc nearly 1000 more
men than women in these islands.

WHAT STATES RIGHTS ARE Wonru
TO Mr.. Fox's RE1AT1ves-A FORTUNE
WoN.-In 1864. Charles Fox, q bachelor
shoe dealer in Third avenue, bequeathed
the whole Of his property, real and Der.
sonal. to the United States, to be used
in paying the national debt incurred by
the war. He died about three years 90.
Several nephews and nieces contested the
will, on the ground that Mr.. Fox was not
OF sound mind. After tedious trial.
Surrogate Hutchings admitted the instru.
ment to probate. deciding that the testa.
tor was OF sound mind; but while hold
ing that the bequest of the personal
estate to the United States Government
vss valid, the devise OF the real estate
was void, since the United States Co
vernment could not take land by devise
in this State. From this decision the
Government appealed to the general
term OF the Supreme Court and the
Court OF Appeals. Within a few days
the Court Of Appeals have given their
deoision. sustaining Surrogate Hutchings
in all his conclusions.
By this decision the nephews and
nleces. now living in a tenement, with
barely the necessaries of life, come into
possession OF about $3.50. 600 of real
estate, and are raised from poverty to
comparative afluence. York Sun
