The Sandwich Islands .

Mark Twain is writing the Tribune some
characteristic letters respecting the govern
ment and people of the Sandwich Islands, in
connection with the mooted annexation.
He gives the following reasons
WHY WE SHOULD ANNEX,
Now, let us annex theislands. Think how we
could build up that whaling trade! Though
under our courts and judges it might soon
be as impossible for whaleships to rendezvous
there without being feeced and ''pulled" by
sailors and pettifoggers as it now is in San
franclsco-a place the shippers shun as they
would rocks and shoals. Let us annex.
we could make sugar enough there to supply
all America, perhaps, and the prices would be
very easy with the duties removed. And
then we would have such fine halfway
house for our Pacific plying ships; ana sun SUM-
convenient supply depot and sucn sucnadron. .

We must annex those people. We can

government. We can introduce the novelty

From the Danbury News.


Kate Stanton in herlecture on ''The Loves
of Great Men" asserts that the plants re-
volve around the sun by the influence of love
like child revolves around its parent. When
| the writer was boy he used to reyolye
around his parent good deal, and may have

keeping house.

HoGs-SMALL BREEDs.-A stock raiser OF
much experience, in an article upon over
grown ana medium.sized animals, thus speaks
of hogs, indicating his preference for the
small breeds:
There is not one single advantage to be
claimed in favor of large hogs. There never
was monster hog which did not make the
man who raised him pay for every pound he
weighed They don't furnish an ounce of
meat gratis, but charge full price for every
atom OF their carcass. When slaughtered, it
takes long time to get one cool to the mar
row OF the bone, and when the hams are put
in salt, it is troublesome to finish them to
the centre. -Four hundred pounds, live
weight, is as large as hogs should be, in or
der to make good bacon. Beyond this size
there is loss somewhere. Either the feeder
butcher, or consumer is beat; and, as a gen.
eral thing, every one who has anything to do
with the big hog, will find, if he observes
closely, that they are not so profitable as the
smooth, nice hog Of only three hundred and
fifty pounds weight. Small head, with little,
upright ears, and legs and feet delicate to
perfection, are marks which indicate the
greatest amount of flesh for any given
amount of food consumed, and win more

At the Theatre Francois, Racineis classical
tragedy 'Britannicus' is being rehearsed, and
the trage.lian, Mounet Sully, is cast for the
part OF the Emperor Nero. He is possessed
of magnificent black beard, and according
to the traditions of the French stage should
appear in this character with smooth and
close-shayen cheeks. The artistic is 10th to
spoil his hirsute aspect, and he asserts that
there exists many busts and medals where
the ferocous fiddler is seen with moustache
and whiskers. The green room of the The
atre Francois is now split up into two camps,
one faction voting for the beard, and the 9TH
cr Pumping for the use OF the razor.

HAY FOR HoRsEs.-Horses are liable to
become broken winded or cribbers from be-
ing allowed to stuff themselves on hay.
Hence the best feeders prefer to feed only
from ten to fifteen pounds of the best and
sweetest hay that is perfectly clean and free
from dust. Good timothy is generally re-
garded as the best hay horse can eat. We
think the clearness of hay, its freedom from
dust and mustiness, is more important than
its coarseness or fineness. There is a gene
raj impression that coarse hay is bet er for
horses than fine, but provided il is Of equally
good quality, we do not see the importance
of coarseness. Timothy is preferred partly
because it is more nutritive, and retains its
nutritive qualities better, when it is properly
harvested, than most other grasses Red top
loses larger proportion of its juicy qualities,
its sap, in drying, so that it is too dry and
taxes the saliyary glands too much in the
process of mastication. The drier the food
is, the more difficult it is for the stomach
to soften it down into chyme, and hence the
hay for the horse should lie cut and moisten-
ed for an hour or so before feeding. Proba-
bly, the very best hay for the horse is good
bright timothy, cut at the proper time and
cured in the best manner, and it is better
after it is a year or two old or even two years
old, and thoroughly seasoned. 1t seems to
undergo some change which makes it easier
of chymifcation, and it does not so readily
ferment in the stomach.-Mdss. PloughmdR.

A young man writes for the best way to
gain entrance to our most respectable fami-
lilies. We like to see our young people aim
to improve themselves, and in no way can
they do this as surely as by good books and
the society of the refined. To gain entrance
to our best families the easiest and most di-
rect way would seem to be by the front door,
although our young friend might tunnel
under the sidewalk and come up through the
cellar.

POWERFUL ARG GUSfENTs.-A few days AGO.
tall rough-lOoking mountaineer entered
the Union railroad ticket office at Denver.
and through mistake purchased ticket for
New York via. the Kansas Pacific line, when
he wanted to 90 over the Union Pacific. He
did not discover the fact until after the ticket
had been paid for, and on asking the agent
to change it the latter refused to do so.
''You won't change this ticket then, won't
you?"
mo, SIR replied the agent; you have
your ticket and / have the money for it, and
ifyou want a ticket over the other route YOU
will have to buy it,"
Very quietly the stranger twisted his ticket
into small roll; very serenely he drew from
under his right coat tail a six-shooter about
the dimensions of a mountain howitzer; cool
ly and deliberately he stuck the twisted ticket
into the muzzle of that six-shooter, and stick
ing up the ugly looking thing through the
little square window of the ticket office, and
almost into the agents face, and speaking in
tone that left no doubt of his determine
ton, said:
Stranger, thar's that ticket; take it your
selfand change it, or by Cd I'll blow il
clean through you.''
The ticket was changed Immediately, and
without any more words from the agent, and
the mountaineer walked away, saying, 81 Jest
thought could induce him to change his
mind little.''
