The following extrsct from a San Francisco
paper gives some Information in regard to the
terms of the acquisition of the Fiji Islands by
Great Britain and the designs of the same
country upon the Sandwich Islands: ''It ap-
pears from q telegram received from Mel
bourne via London. that the proposal to trans
fer the government of the Fiji Islands to the
British crown has been consummated. Thus, an
important commercial station In the South
Pacific comes into the possession of Great
Britain, which It may be expected will be
utilized in the promotion Of British interests
among the yarious<groups of islands, in the
South Seas. Great Britain has adopted its
Indian plan in pensioning off the native chiefs
and rulers, and guaranteeing to them thsit
landed inheritances. No doubt, beyond the
loss of power, King Thokombau and his native
chieftains Will be peeuniarily better of under
the new order Of things, and may become gen.
tlemen of elegant leisure. In New Zealand,
where a similar policy was followed, the Maori
chiefs are among the wealthiest men in the
islands, save and except those who have given
themselves up to dissipation. 1t is said that
Great Britain is looking with longing eyes
northward of Fiji, and would not object to
entering into possession Of the Hawaiian Is
lands upon similar terms, if not impeded from
that direction through fear of giving substan-
tial ground for offence at Washington. But as it
is the tendency of power to aggregate, the
same reasons which have led the British Gov
eminent to assume the rule of the Fits may
and possibly will be used with respect to the
other groups of islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Nearly the whole of them are fertile, and offer
the same inducements for settlement as did
the Fijis to the Australian colonists. The
transition from a government with q native
king as the nominal head, controlled by white
adventures, to q regular appanage of the
British crown will be as easy aud simple
among the other groups, as it has been at Fiji.
While the problem of protectorate over the
Navigator Islands or a treaty of reciprocity
with Hawaii is pigeon-holed at Washington,
the American people may wake up some fine
morning to find that Great Britain has secured
q footing in all the islands OF the Pacific"

TIE LESSON OF THE ACE.


The one lesson that Young America needs
to-day more than all others, is to check his de-
sires for wealth and power. The country has
passed its speculative period when large for
tunes are made in day or year and when large
incomes are obtained. The next generation
must expect smaller incomes and consequently
must adapt itself to more frugal expenditures.
Hereafter, bread must be won by work, and
no field offers so sure return for toll as intel
ngent agriculture in New England. We do
not declare that general rush to the desolste
farms Of our State will afford complete So
lution Of the present business crisis, but II the
tide Of people rushing cityward could be turned
back to feed themselves and others from the
farm. the result wonld give new life to all
branches Of industry.

| appropriation act by the Legislative Assembly
of 1000, 900. This was based upon the
"plan" which contemplated an expenditure of
81, 900 900. The law provided for an assess
ment Of one third (Which would have been
50 2,OO0, ,000) on private property, and the re-
naming s4,0OO,0O0 were appropriated in
money.
According to the theory that assessments are
not to be considered as appropriations, under
this act the board would only have been author
lied to have work done to the extent OF
s., ,0OO, 900. If so the money appropriated
would pay all lawful contracts, and private
property would not be assessed for any portion
of the expense. although the organic act pro-
vides that it may be to the extent OF one
| third.
The same arguments so fully urged by Mr..
Shellabarger in endeavoring to convince you
that the Board of Public Works was bound
down to a literal carrying out of the details
and specifications of the "plan, whether they
were ascertained to be beneficial or otherwise,
were presented to the committee investigating
the affairs of this District IN 1872. That COM
mittee considered this question fully, as also
the question Of the construction OF the act OF
the Legislative Assembly Of July 10, 1871, (the
o. 900 900 sct, and the act of August IL,
1871, appropriating $500, 900; and the report
states as follows:
The committee are satisfied that the L.eisla-
board in making improvements to q strict and
literal following Of the exact plan presented. 1t
had been somewhat hastily prepared, and It
seemed to be understood that TO some extent It
was the general guide as to the kind and charac-
ter OF tha improvements TO be made with the
money appropriated, so that If this charge rested
alone upon the appropriation made in the four
million act, 1t is dincult to see that 1t has been
violated.
It has been urged that by this construction Of
the laws passed by the District Legislature
very great, n not dangerous latitude was given
to the board, so that they really were allowed 70
expend the improvements according TO their own
discretion. The appropriations were very loosely
made, and II does Eppear that the l1egisIatute
\ intended to confer the power upon the board 70
expend the money upon such improyemsnss a.
they deemed expedient. Whether they Jnage9
wisely or not, it cannot be said that the board
violated the law In making contracts and sJpend-
itures for Improvements which the Legnihture
had LEFT to their Judgment and discretion.
1t Il not necessary here to discuss or attempt 70
decide how limited and Spectnc tne Lsgniative m

the latter State all voters among the working
classes can read, while in the Southern States
q very large portion cannot. 1t Is hardly sup
possible that Congressman and editors, vast
majority of whose constituents are intelligent
employees, are less ipHueuced by q regard for
their sentiments than those among whose con-
stituents tho proportion of emplo rers Is much
greater, and the proportion of educated EN-
ployees very much less.
Now few words on the relative effects oi
the policy Of imitation or the opposite on debt
and credit, so far as it concerns the working
classes. The plain facts are these: Cases are
exceedingly rare, II not unheard of, in which
laborers owe capitalists; cases are innumer-
able in which capitalists owe laborers. The
working classes are not borrowers. It is the
capitalist, engaged in commerce, manufacture
ing, mining, speculating, &C., who borrows OF
contracts debts.
On the contrary, the working classes, to a
very great extent, are lenders: first, to savings
banks. The many millions deposited in the
savings banks of the country are almost ex-
clusively made up Of small sums thus lent by
the poorer laboring classes. Second, to their
more wealthy neighbors. There Is scarcely q
town in the United States, at least in the North
and Northwest, where there are not mechanics,
operatives, farmers, hired men, seamstresses,
widows and other persons Of slender means,
WIZ HaF6 IouL buc Hhllo VI buCiA plus
earnings or savings to men of comparative
wealth in their own communities. Liable TO
need lt for use in case of sickness or other exi-
gency, and distrustful of banks and stocks,
these classes very extensively prefer to lend
the little sums they can spare for the time be-
ing to persons In whom they confide as aftu-
emit neighbors and friends, though they are gen
orally obliged to do this at the honest rates OF
interest. The large debts Of few capitalists
and corporations make Q great sound, and since
their creditors, being banks and rich money
lenders, exact exorbitant rates Of interest, 4
Is hard to oblige them TO pay In money Of ap-
preciated value. But the little sums lent BY the
comparatively poor to savings banks or TO indi-
viduals of comparative wealth, will aggregate
far more than all other debts; and as these pre-
cious little savings are as general rule lent at
the lowest rates Of interest, how much harder
II must be to permit the rich to pay, and TO
compel these vast multitudes Of the poorer
laboring classes to receive their several little
dues In currency 10 or 20 per cent. less valuable
than that which they lent; that is, to only re-
eeive so or 30 per cent. Of the principal and
interest due theml RIP.

e. CAMBRIC AND CALICO DRESSES.
The Msbels and Mariannes in the country,
and the Sallies and Mollies of the Southwest,
will want to know how to make their cambrics
and calicoes. their percsles and linens. In the
first place, all washing dresses, not intended
for morning wrappers, are now made in cos
TUNES or suits that will answer both for house
and street. The simplest design for these is
the long blouse polonaise, like those Of last
year, except that very few are edouble-bressted.
They are now buttoned only from -hrost to
belt, and fall open thence, disclosing pretty
pleatings, rufies and shirred puifs that are
placed either horizontally or longtudinally
on the front breadth OF the skirt, while single
deep nounce with shirred heading passes around
the bottom, narrow rufie edges the polonaise,
and forms q ruff and cuffs. Girls who take
more time and trouble with their washing
dresses get the foulard-anished percales, with
brown, buff, dove-color or blue groupds, dotted
or barred with white, and make them up with
sleeves aud lower-skirt Of solid color, using the
figured goods for jacket, overskirt and ruffies.
When neatly fitted and prettily finished of
these dresses have quite an air about them, and
are almost as handsome a. foulsrds. Z
Calico wrappers and morning gowns, in
which mothers and maidens alike take break
fast aud perform their daily round Of house,
hold duties, arc made Of shilling calico, clear
whits grounds with stripes and bars of violet,
blue, or uut-brown, twilled like chevoit cloths.
These have ciinging Gabrielle fronts, with slight
fullness behind. which is further increased by

THROUGH ALL THE AGES of study and
investigation which have marked the path
of scientific discovery, one especially al
Turing object has tempted the inquiries
and speculations of philosophers. 1t is
what the wizards and witches of olden
time, the jugglers of India, soothsayers of
Arabia, Magi of Egypt, necromancers of
Turkey and the Orient, and alchemists of
civilized Europe have sought, but sought
in vain-G vegetable aon-poisonoaIs ELirir,
which, by cleansing the blood, removing
from the system all impurities, strength
ening the nerves, the muscles, and the
brain, and vitaliZing every fiber of the sys-
TEN, should bid defiance to the corroding
hand of disease.
DR.. Walker, of California, discovered an
herb, the properties of which, if they do
not entirely fulfill all the conditions above
mentioned, have atleast proved themselves
eficacious in all of them this herb Doctor
Walker has made an ingredient in his IA
nous VINEGAR BITTERs, which can be
obtained of any wholesale Druggist
throughout the country.

the proprietor of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy

does not turn over, otherwise the water
would all be spilled out of Deacon Bascom's
mill pond. But astronomical science has pos
itively demonstrated and proven that DR..
Homespun is wrong in surprising the earth to
be fiat and stationary, and medical science is
daily proving the fact that he is no less mis-
taken and behind the times in regard to the
durability Of Catarrh. In short it has been
positively proven that this world nl0UeS, and
that medical science is progressively
