The new chef et the Sandwich Is
lands, who fills the place of the deceased
Kamahameha as Regent, says the Chica-
GO Tribune, is Yankee by the name of
Elisha ii. Allen, who has long been
Chief Justice in the Islands. lie was
formerly leading lawyer in Bangor,
Maine, and at one time represented his
district in Congress, but was finally de-
teated by Hannibal IIalnlin Alter this
he went 10 the Sandwich Islands as Com
sui, aud has been there ever since.
There have hitherto been Yankee Lords
aud Princesses, but never before Yam
kee King, aud, as he has filled the Office
Of Chief Justice for many years with
credit TO himself, we hope that King Al
len !. aud his excellent lady Queen Mrs.
Allen, may find their regency developing
into iull-Mown royalty. Yankees have
proved themselves competent 10 ell all
kinds Of positions, and we don't know
why they should not make good Kings.

Free as a Bird.

We have watched the birds enough to learn
that many of our preconceived ideas concernd
ing them were wrong. We suppose birds ha-
an easy life of it. We say 'free as a Bird"
but watch bird, and see the fallacy of hu-
man understanding. The birds are driven
with care. We consider three moves equiva-
lent TO fire. Judge, then. of moving every
season, or every time new baby came to us.
Early this Spring the birds began their
counting on the generally approved plan
great apparent reluctance and prudential
doubling on Miss BRIDES part, great
protestation on MI. Birds part. But
either because Mr.. Bird sang so d.
vinely or shook his feathers before the lit
tie lady's face so persistently, or because Bird
lie had sweet thoughts of some other little
brides, very soon the courtage was done;
then, as is sometimes the case with other
built nests with modern cOnvenicenes, to be
let cheap, but plenty of building lots-such a
plenty, that our birds got half crazy in decid-
ing. Day by day they twittered about the
different sites, shook their little heads as wise
ly as if deciding upon the Boston Coliseum,
or Geneva Arbitration. IF Mr.. Bird found a
spot well suited to his ideas of comfort, his
wife was sure to see something in it which
rendered it wholly untenable by any bird of
responsibility; and, so far as we can judge,
she usually decides these family matters.
The honeymoon was full of anxiety, the
bridal trip confined to house-hunting. 1t be-
gan to look like divorce; but finally spot
was taken. Then began the most indefagtiable
collection of sticks, dried moss, straw and
strings. Both birds work equally; and in a
week the nest is builded, faultlessly shaped,
and lined with something soft. Birdie rests
from her labors; the Lares and Penates are
introduced into the little home in the shape
of fn1r snacklpd and in laos FIJI an two
weeks four hungry mouths are asking for
worms. Now the cares of the birds are
doubled. There is no market at which to Or
der the freshest worms of the season, no
bird caterers, only the old birds, who labor so
successfully that we fancy worms and bugs
must regard them in the light of an inscru-
table Providenee.-Old and Neac.

News and other Items.

The story connecting the names of Whitelaw
Reid and Anna Dickinson arose, we learn from
the Chicago Inter-Ocean, from visits paid by
MIR. Reid to his relatives, who live next door to
Miss Dickinson. "Of course" says the JInter-
Ocean, 'the families.are very friendly, and the
gossips and quidnuncs seized upon this fact to
start rumor which is yet on the wing" This
is all, is it?
Colonel Hoe remains at the head of the
printing-press buildings, notwithstanding the
loud talk that has lately been INDUCED in as to
the Walter press. He has lately completed a
press at his works in England that it is said
surpasses all his old ones and all the new in
ventions This press, we are told, prints 2,0O0
copies an hour and only requires force of two
men and a boy to run it. The London Daily
Telegraph has ordered ten of them at a cost OF
nearly 100000.

The Cuban Instruction.

To the Editor Of the Press: -
notice i'm your editorial columns of this
date an article entitled "A Word OF Warning
to Congressman in which you stigmatlze
the Patriots of Cuba as unworthy Of aid and
sympathy. 1t hardly seems possible that pa
per like yours, which has always led the van in
laboring for the right OF the downtrodden Of
this country and has always labored for liber-
ty in the broadcast sense of the word, should
put forth to the world such a mar ifesto. The
Cubans are doing just what we did in seventy
six fighting for ''life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness," so long denied to them by their
oppressors, the Spaniards, who have ruined
every country they ever held as col
ony. Good nen and true and noble women
too, are sacrificing their fortunes, their lives
and all they hold most dear for their country,
for their honor, for that pearl without price
liberty. They are few in numbers, without
means and fighting uAder difficulties that
would appall the ordinary man. Should we
call them robbers and murderers for this, or
on the contrary ought we not TO admire their
courage, their heroispi, their selfsacrifice and
bid them God-speed in their noble work The
Spaniards have drawn and are drawing the
life blood fom Cuba aud a horde of foreign
masters have ground her down beyond all for
bearanee, sapping and destroying her indus
tries by their exorbitant leyies and imposts,
denying them representation and at the same
time taxing them beyond human endurance,
and for whatr To support demoralized
government, not worthy of the name Of gov
ernment-and crowd Of officials. or leeches
rather, in the appointment Of whom they can
have no voice-oficials as corrupt as theeoun-
try they represent IL the Cubans did not
fight under such circumstances they would
merit anything you or anybody else
could say of them. trust, Mr., Editor, you
will investigate this subject more thoroughly,
and know fron your well-known fairness
we shall have different verdic. from that al
ready given. also feel that you will aid as
far as you can in encouraging the sacred
cause of liberty in poor, suffering Cuba.

The Methodist camp meeting, in spite OF
the determined opposition of other religious
sects. is becoming every year more popular
with the public and, by degrees, especially IN
the country, believers of other names WANDER
into this peculiar Wesleyan fold to have thelr
spiritual strength renewed. Following tne
Methodist idea, paper of another denom-
nation proposes a plan for the estaolishment
of summer colonies of Christian people so
organized and controlled that the colcnists
would be secure from the allurements and
frivolities of fashionable summer resorts
This idea of summer monasteries may be
very well, but we fear the welfare Of the
saints would require strong guard to keep
out the wicked that would encamp round
about them, to say nothing of the tendency
of the good to mix with the beggarly ele.
ments OF the world.

SPECIAL attention is called to the letter of
''B' elsewhere published. The adverse crit
icism on the movement TO which he refers
was merely collateral to the purpose of the
article, which was to war; the public against
an attempt on the part of the back pay grab
bers and Credit Mobiler men to retrieve
their shattered political fortunes by embroil-
ing the nation in foreign war, whose smoke
would obscure the hideousness of their own
situation. Cuba and Mexico were cited
merelyas Illustrations of the possible direction
Of these efforts. No American will fail of
sympathy for any people struggling for free
dom; but an attempt to force our own country
into war with a friendly power will not be
regarded with any degree of favor by the
public unless under the strongest provoca-
ton. The interruption of the process of re-
cuperation from the waste of the war of the
Rebellion, now SO favorably progressing, the
arrangement OF commerce and of all our in
dustries, the check upon the reduction of tbe
public debt and the resumption of specie nav
ments and, above all, the sacrifice of human
life make the idea of war very repuenant 70
our people. Great watchfulness is needed
lest these reckless and INSCRIPTIONS men ~
desperate fortunes effect such a complica,,or
of foreign affairs as will make a quarrel es
sential to our national honor and dignity.
