ANIMAL hhiphI
We mark with white stone the DAYS on
which we meet our friends each year, to report
the good which has been done through their
generosity to the little ones so much in need
Of it.
The Home for Destitute Children ~ has
been in existence seven years, and during that
time 100 children have been received within its
walls, besides a number Of babies provided
with homes outside, through the instrumental
ity OF the mana gers-there being, as vet, no ao-
cOmmodations in the Institution itself Tor those
50 young. of the 100, 70 have been sent out
to homes, in families well recommended, and
several others have left for various causes.
During the year, % new members have en-
tered several becoming Of age have left our
care, and 10 have been provided with homes.
The number now there is IS.
The amount OF the Permanent Fund now
drawing interest Is Sal 500 Our income from
this source is not sufficient to meet the yearly
expenditures, but will 20 long way toward il
In fact we think ourselves warranted in omit
ting, for while at least the annual collection
of funds from our friends in this CITY, who
have responded so nobly to the often repeated
calls we have made upon their purses-some-
times twice within year-hoping that they
will OF their own accord send us, at our dona-
ton visit, or when most convenient during the
season, enough to make up the deficiency.
very few alterations and repairs have been
made in the building this summer, but only
those imperatyely necessary for the comfort Of
the inmates. The removal of partition be-
tween two rooms in the basement has given us
a new dining room, where the children can be
seated without crowding.
Several changes have been made in the de-
partments OF matr0n teachers and others of
the household, but now with an efficient staff
throughout, We trust all will remain through
the year.
The health Of the children is good. though
during the warm weather the physicians aid
was quite constantly required.
The bill for supplies is s 500 90, large to-
tai, but showing strict economy in each item.
The sum spent for clothing is size 90, which
has been lessened by kind contributions from
individuals and societies.
We have many kind friends to thank for all
the different ways in which they have contrib
uted to the amusement, as we'll as comfort OF
the children, but our words will be considered
by them OF small account, for the eloquent
looks and hearty tones of children whose first
years have been spent with those who have on.
ly given them harsh words and blows, will nut
our thanks very low in the scale.
We are sure all our kind friends echo our
wish for the " Home, -" May its shadow
never grow less, but extend until it covers all
the little homeless ones of0ur State.

D-Some six or seven months ago Stoke s
was generally considered the man who shot
Fisk, Recent developments show that he
is the man who was present at the Grand
Central Hotel when Fisk accidentally shot
himself. The witnesses who formally saw
the murder, aud were evidence against him,
have been murdered, hired, or run away
with one exception, aud he has been bribed
to swear that he saw Fisk in the act Of
drawing revolver to shoot Stokes. The

And now, if the New Year shall be true

Atrocities have been committed by both
Indians'and whites which are sure to inaame
both sides, and it is already evident that

our conflicts with the Indians are to be re-

numbers, but they are skilled marksmen
aud being amply provided with arms and
ammunition, they have already proved that
they are more than match for the scat
tered settlers aud the few soldiers who have
been used against them. Now that the
blunder of permitting this war to begin
has been committed, it is evident that there
is no choice but to overpower the Modoc'
by military force, The sooner the trouble
is ended the better it will be both for the
sayages and the settlers.

The death of King Kamehameha on the

that name in the Sandwich Islands, termin-
ates the royal line. As DO successor is
said to be named the people have the SOW
ereignty in their own hands. The iuterrcr.
mum lasts at least until the meeting Of the
Legislature, and is being improved to ad-
vance a movement for free constitution.
The career of the King is well known to
Americans, none of whom have forgotten
the continued efforts to bring him under
the influence Of a combination Of English
merchants, headed by Bishop Of the Eng
fish Church. There were some few strik-
ing Irregularities in the late soyereign's
personal conduct which has been freely con-
doned in view of the generally steady sway
he has held over his usular realm and the
tendency of affairs to republican basis.
A popular revolution is among the posi-
bilities menaced by the Kings decease, the
purpose being ayowed to establish the fu.
turc Government on strictly popular foot
ing. Queen Emma has of late years com.
mended herself as visitor in Europe and
this country for qualities that emineatly
bedt the regal station. If democratic rule
is now to succeed it is to be sincerely hoped
that it will prove more stable than similar
experiments on islands in the Atlantic, aud
especially that it will be pledge of O
close commercial friendship with the Uni
ted States.

Hem Made Feather Busters.

Soon there will be Il mighty raid upon
the poultry houses, and hundreds of
chickens Will have their heads laid low
in the dust, while their feathers pulled
off, baked in cool oven, aud put away
for future use. Now let me tell you
that exceedingly pretty busting brushes
can be very easily made of them,
which will be very useful for busting
furniture, wall corners, corniees, etc,
while they are always handy to use
about fire place or stove. Pick out
the prettiest feathers, and those of
nearly a size, and run needle, at
tached to q strong Irvine, through the
stem at the end of the feathered part :;
then pound the quilts fiat with
"a hammer, SO that they will
lie close to the handle, which
can be made out of an old broom
stick whitfield down, and then painted :;
or you can use the handle of WORKOUT
hand brushes, or the like Cover one
end of the handle with thick, warm
glue, and wind the feathers, closely
strung together, around the stick, COM
mencing at the point of it. Have u
glue pot close at hand, and as you
wind the feathers, wet them thorough
ly with glue, SO that they will stick
tightly to the handle and to each other.
When the brush is as large as you de-
sire, cut off the Irvine, and wind an
other piece tightly over the quilts,
gluing it down. Then take a piece of
scarlet, green, or blue enameled cloth,
and cut one edge in points, round up
the sides, aud sew together so as to
form cap that will go over the handle
of the brush, and cover the quilts of
the feathers. Make a hole with a
gimlet through the handle, and put in
a string to hang up the custer,
and You will be fully paid for the
work in tho convenience OF the article,
and its tasteful appearance will also
prove an attraction. Ifthere are any old,
worn out wlndow-brush handles living
around ia the wood shed or barn, you
can turn them into use. Cut out all
the old bristles which remain, so as 70
leave the holes empty; and then fill up
their places with punches of feathers
run on Irvine, and made Just large
enough to fit in; cut off the quill ends
and cover the lower part of the feathers
with glue, also dropping some into the
holes, and secure the punches firmly
into them. You can use smaller feath-
ers for this kind OF brush than for the
feather busters, and when it is finished
you will never desire another brush
made Of bristles. The downy, pure
white feathers can be sewed upon a
piece of cape lace, stifIened on the
edges with wire, and made into very
elegant and tasteful feathers for young
ladies hats The feathers taken from
the crest of a white turkeys back are
particularly pretty for this purpose
