wasting Breath.

Tho COinmsFrioi, IN a long article on Saturday
attempts TO ward of the stigma that the Credit
MObiier Invsshe cation hes affixed to the names
of many Of its party leaders. This is mere
waste of breath. But II is little curious that
our nslghbOr should have been 90 much annoyed
at the action OF The members of the City Council,
few months ago, about a very triaing matter
when compared to The question of Congressmen
taking bribes. Il seems that II can excuse Ames,
ALLEY. COltAx. WilsOa. Dawes, Kelley, Patter-
son, Harlan and Losan, but it could not excuse
q Councilman for taking q contract
The old adaage "straining at a kaat and!swal-
lowing = camel" may certainly be appropriately
applied in this case
The Conan yeiaIs attempt to excuse and SIN 10Th
over the action OF these "hOnOrabls" gentlemen,
in the face Of The fact that they are condemned

RepnhIlcan Leaders.

All denials are idle in tbs face of the facts that
have been developed during the past few months

the most corrupt men that have ever been placed
in the lead of any party. From ThAddeous
Stevens dOWA to ROmerOy. the last to bs caught

O hundred canoes lay short distance
from the ship. These were navigated
by old men and young men, old women
and Young women, and children Of both
sexes and all ages. Dozens OF water
nymphs and sprites were padding
about, diving for small coins and seem.
ing so utterly and entirely happy that
it made one feel contented to look al
them. The old people we're on hand toi
business, as the canoes were laden with
fresh vegetables, fish, fowls, eggs and
milk
The men we're generally very fine
specimens of physical manhood, being
nearly six feet tall and weighing. IRON
lG0 to $50 pounds, with finely developed
muscles. The hair IS straight and black
the color dark and yellow, with an oeca-
sional fiat nose and thick lips; with
dress they we're not much troubled,
Some wore shirts and some wore none
few wore breeches, and the majority
none. The girls were pronouced very
handsome. They have beautiful hair
exquisitely white teeth, good features
finely nodded bodies and limbs, with the
handsomest hands and feet | have ever
seen. The fingers are very small and
very long; the foot is slender, with the
arched instep. As matter of course
they we're generally arrayed in their holi'
day attire, which consisted of a single
garment, which | have described TO a
lady friend, and she says that slip" Is
the right name for it. This slip, loose
around the waist and without sleeves
was made Of white cotton or blue cotton
stuff, and sometimes Of printed calico.
As matter of course they wore no shoes
but occasionally a wreath Of flowers ap'
peared on the head Of dusky damsel.
They eagerly took part in the scramble
for small coins, and our first surprise
was at seeing a beautiful young woman,
with hair a yard long, dive under the
ship and come up on the other side.
This, however, We afterwards learned
was a very small matter. The scene
ashore was as lovely as possible. The
beach was fringed with tall cocoa nut
trees, as far as we could see, with here
and there a native house in view. To
the southwark a very pretty creek flowed
into the bay, with settlement near It's
mouth. A mile to the westward came
in a fine stream, dashing into the sea
with great velocity. A few hundred
yards above its mouth we could see q
/ fall Of twenty or thirty feet, aud when
we came TO explore we found others oi
] the same dimensions, and upon going ~

a couple of miles we came to the RAIN
bow falls, one hundred and fifty feet
high. The trees and pasturage on the
sides of the mountains presented rich
and green appearance as far as we
could see. OF town there was precious
little. A Chinaman kept hotel, and
a Mr.. Pittman kept a store; there was
also large mission church; also the
residence of the missionary aud a good
many scattering native houses; but we
will go ashore in the morning, and see
more of the place in detail.
It was my morning watch from four
a. m. to eight I'm. }, the day after getting
into port hence my liberty day. We
landed on shore little after nine
o'clock, and found a half dozen boys
waiting with horses for hire. We en-
gagged the beasts, which we're native,
raised from stock originally from Cali
fornia or the coast of Mexico, and there
fore very Indifferent, and started for a
gallon up the beach. The boys on foot
kent up with us, Notwithstanding we
piled whip and spur. We soon rode over
the town, then to the falls and back to
the Chinaman's hotel for dinner. Then
we went to Pitman's store and sat down
awhile, which about describes the
round of amusements of the place.
No. we had another amusement We
bathed in the creek below the falls and
got "ducked by the girls, who we
would watch by the hour going over the
falls. After we got accustomed to the
natives, and began to understand a few
words of their soft, musical language,
we would loiter into their houses, where
we were always welcomed, and study
their manners and customs. The houses
are built Of framework Of poles set in
the ground, with plates and joists fast
ened to the tops with lashings Of bark.
The rafters are also fastened together
and to the plates by bark thongs This
is the mere skeleton. The sides and top
are covered by thick coating Of thatch
made Of a grass very similar 10 our crab
grass, which, made into small bundles,
Is fastened to horizontal poles so Sc
curely and perfectly that the house not
only looks well but is impervious to wind
and rain. The aoor is the earth. but is
covered by straw. and coarse and hne
mats made from bark Of trees, so that It
presents a neat and inviting appear
