Wandering q Beneflt.

A writer indites as follows: II l
had boy that wanted to run OF, !
would strap knapsack on his back and
send him off. The chances are that sore
muscles and poor beds. good appetite
and bad dinners, would fetch him back
again. But that we all have the yaga-
bond instinct, let this summer loafng
by the sea and on the mountains bear
witness. The more conventional our
city life becomes, the stronger is the
passionate impulse to break the chains
of social restraint and do as we please
for awhile. 1t is the counterpoise that
preserves the equilibrium of life. But
what if the boy sent ont with his KNAPP
sack had hardihood enough to bear the
inconvenience of his life? He would
get more good from straying than from
school. Have not tried it? And if 1
had boy to educate should send him
on q pilgrimage, that he might serve
apprenticeship to the world as did vii,
helm Meister. He might contract bad
habits in his wanderings. So he might
contract bad habits and more easily at
college. But 1 would not, therefore,
keep him at home. Liberty is good

Death From Fright.

The singular circumstances connected
with the death of the wife OF Thomas
Ferguson, of Cleveland, Ohio, are thus
narrated by the Herald of that city !:
"About 7o'clock Wednesday morning
Mrs. Ferguson went to the house OF her
brother-in.lav, near by, on an errand
Coming outof the house to return home
she was followed by small pet dog be.
longing to her brother-in law. One of
the dog-killers employed by the city
was making crusade in that neighbor-
hood, and catching sight of this little
animal went for it. Mrs. Ferguson
called the dog to her, in order to save
him from the slayer. The latter, who
was but q few PAGES from her, raised
his gun and aimed at the dog beside
her. The woman saw the weapon point
ed, as it seemed to her, directly toward
her, and supposing it would be dis,
charged, she screamed with fright and
ran home. On entering the house she
sank upon the floor, pale and trembling
violently. She was barely able to tell
her husband the cause Of her fright,
and soon afterward was seized with
severe commissions. These continued
throughout that and the following day.
In spite of all that medical skill could
do, she sank rapidly, and died between
4 and 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon.
The deceased was twenty-one years OF
ooa and had been married five months.
She had been in good health, and no
other cause than that given above can
be assigned for her death. We could
not learn the name of the man whose
criminal carelessness. in his greed to
obtain the paltry sum paid for killing
dogs, caused this sad bereavement. He
was violating the dog ordinance, which
provides that all shooting of dogs must
be done before the hour of 6 o'clock In
the morning, for the express purpose
of avoiding the danger to persons on
the street."

Do Horses Reason I?

For many years have made the
horse subject of careful thought and
study. AT times 1 have been led to be-
lieve that horses have reasoning pow
ers, and can understandand apply them
in various ways. For the lasttwo years
I have driven my mare nearly every day
over the same road. About one mile
from my home are two roads, one lead
ing to the church, the other to the de-
pot. Now six days in the week drive
to the cars, and on Sunday to the
church. At the point where these roads
separate, I give my mare her head,
leaving her free to make her choice,
and on week days she will 60 straight to
the depot, and on Sundays she goes of
her own free will to the church; l never
knew her to fail me yet. 1tpuzzled me
for long time to learn how she should
know any difference in days; and have
come to the conclusion that she reasons
from facts-facts connected with every
day life. On week days 1 start from my
stable in q two-wheel carriage; on Sun
days start from my house in a carry
ali, thus making an entire change, both
in time, place, and carriage; and from
these facts she must be guided in her
choice of roads. Many say this is in.
stinct; if 80, where does reason begin ?

find the party who will own them. What

The young men hardly knew what to
say. David Popham was not man to
make an idle promise, and the prospect
thus held cut almost took away their
breath. But John Lowe, who was far.
seeing, clear-headed man, at length
ventured,--
eff you have friends who are able to
purchase, let them understand the ad-
vantage they will gain in owning the
land up the river. I know the expense
will be enormous, but the land and the
timber are not only valuable, but through
that ownership the water may be held

"You couldn't make room for George,

"Such company must have an at
torney and clerk. Look at the post
which Mr. Burroughs vacates. What
an opening for an educated young
man !"
"Well, now,-well all meet here to-
morrow evening, and I'll then tell you
what my friends will do"
On the, following evening they were
all assembled again, and David Popham
announced that the whole mill property
had been bought.
"And," he added, with a gathering
of bright moisture in his eyes, "the
owners are these three girls of mine"
The mans look was too solemn and
sublime for joke; and they gazed upon
him in speechless wonder.
"My dear children" resumed David,
brushing his eyes, "I'll make a short
story of it. The Humtown, and the
Deep Bottom and the Pawnee and

The Strawberry Dance.

An annual Strawberry Dance is cele-
brated by the Onondagas. When the
strawberries first begin to ripen, ac-
cording to their pagan idea, dance
must be given to the Great Spirit for
the return Of fruit. The women go to
the neighboring hills and gather the
wild berries. The next morning the
big succotash kettle is placed over the
fire at the west end of the Council
House, and the berries, with some wa
ter and some maple sugar, put into the
kettle, and all stirred well. While this
is cooking the time is whiled away by
the Indian dances. One of the chiefs
takes the turtle shell; this shell is cured
by process known only to the red men.
The shell is carefully cleaned, and the
head and neck stretched out for han
die, and some corn and beans put in the
shell so rs to make rattle. The chief
shakes the rattle and strikes the bench
with it, all the time chanting an Indian
chant. The dancers, headed by the
chief, dance around the musician, and
the dancers now and then give whoop.
Their women, and in many cases their
children, take part in the dance. After
the strawberries are cooked and they
feel that they have danced enough, they
form circle, and cup of this straw
berry stew is passed to each one. This,
with few Indian speeches, forms the
Indian way of returning thanks for the
fr1lita

Let Your Wife Know.

It is custom too common with the
men of the world, says the Methodist
Advocale, to keep their families in utter
ignorance of the situation of their bust
ness. The wife knows nothing-has
not even an idea of her husbands for
tune, whether it is to be counted by
hundreds or thousands. What can n
woman kept in such ignorance learn ?
She spends, as q matter of course, all
he gives her to spend, with the full con-
fdence that when that is gone, and she
asks for it, he will give her more.
If an unmarried woman works, she
may 90 with a bold, unblushing face,
and demand her wages but wife can
demand nothing, her claim is only for
bare necessity; and generous men, on
that account, are too often indulgent-
too fearful of letting wife know the
exact state of their finances. Tis all
wrong.
Husband and wife have mutual in
terest every woman should know the
exact state of her husbands finances ;
understand his plans, and aid him, if
possible, with her counsels, and then
these terrible catastrophies would not
so often happen. Many wife, who is
plunging her husband deeper and deeper
into debt from ignorance, would, if she
knew his embarrassments, be the first
to save, and, with true womanly SYM
pathy and generosity, help him to re-
instate the fallen fortunes.

That Trousers Leg.

It is a little singular how fashions
come and go, says the Danbury News.
Many of them at the time appear indis-
pensable, but they noiselessly disap-
pear and others come in their place,
and we forget all about them. We were
thinking the other day of that fashion
which some years ago was more popu-
lar than any other, which was in such
general use and seemed 30 fitted to its
place, that it is doubtful if it was con-
sidered as a freak, any way, but was
rather necessary adjunct of society,
which came in with the garment it was
displayed on, and was as sure OF the fu-
ture as the garment itself. We refer to
the fashion Of turning up the pahtaloon
leg. The young men all did it in those
days, and the variety of taste displayed
in doing it was edifying to study. 1t
was absolutely essential that the pants
should be black, and the boots shotild
be fine in quality with legs gracefully
wrinhled. The width of the lap varied
considerably, bit one inch for the bet
ter class, and three inches for plebeians
appeared to be the standard. Rural
people, to whom black doe-skins were
not always suitable in absence OF pave
ments,. endeayored to incorporate the
fashion on Kentucky jeans and light
cassimeres, but it was depressing fail
ure. The white canvas presented no
marked contrast to the rest of the leg,
and when you saw case, it made you
sad and dissatisfied the rest of the day.
There were others who rolled the leg,
making knotty, clumsy affair OF it, and
it was difficult to tell whether those
people should be'pointed at with scorn,
or merely killed on the spot. In addi-
ton to being black it was necessary
that the pants should fit rather snug
about the boot. Otherwise the lap was
not 30 smooth, and for awhile it was
necessary to pin or stitch the lap up to
keep it in place. But when it was up
snug, and the broad black seam pressed
fiat, the boot polished, and the heel
straight and narrow, it was difficult to
imagine anything more comforting and
sustaining. If we only had dollar for
every tear of Joy we have shed over
such sights, there is no position OF
trust and honor We could not have. But
the fashion has gone with the years that
have passed before, and We watch its
retiring form with eyes that are dimmed
by emotion.

Railroad Disasters.

The New York Herald closes an edi-
toral on the last railway slaughter as
follows
AS it is, the life of human being is
deemed of less value than an old rail or
carriage wheel. A fifty thousand dollar
fine for each life sacrificed, and a twen-
ty thousand dollar fine for every injury
sustained, and common sense and
watchfulness and economy OF the right
sort might return to our railroad and
steamboat management. A great Re-
public like this should not exist solefy
for the benefit of irresponsible monopo,,,
lists. The time has come when the evil
of which we complain can no longer be
endured. Our people must not forget
that the cure is in their own hands.
II the evil continues the blame will be
theirs. People and newspapers and
officials will talk, talk, talk, and every
day fresh and more terrible disasters
occur through the negligence OF rail-
roads

SELDOM, of late years at least, have there been
so many people seen in the streets of Honolulu
on New Years Day as on the one Just past, and
never one when the numerous people who were
in town conducted themselves with more pro.
pieiy- Not one arrest for any offense during
the day, and that too when the people had col
lected together to record their wishes as to whom
they desired to till she vacant Throne This is a
record of which every one may well be proud.
The people Of this District showed in most en-
phauc manner not only whom they desired to
have Ruler, bat no less emphatically that
they could meet together in large bodies during
time fraught With the utmost political Importance
to them, with calmness and propriety of con
duct which would put TO shame large assembIsges
Of similar character, Of almost any other people
on the face OF the earth. Certainly no election
for Representatives ever passed of in this city
so quietly as did that day, when more than twice
the usual number of votes were cast. This was
'artainly in great measure, owing to the unan-
my Of the raopi. aeir choice, which, to one
who has not known the popularity of Prince Lu-
nalilo among his countrymen, would be truly
astonishing.
