with serious injury. lie was engaged
in blasting in the lower portion of the

full force about the head and face. cut

gave a reception to King David-ior David

members of the Cabinet, ali the foreign
Ministers in full court costume. members
Of both Houses of Congress and officers OF
the army and navy in uniform. Many oi
the gentlemen were accompanied by ladies.
The Marine Band was in attendance. The
King occupied 4 position in the East room.
On his left was Secretary Fish, who con-
Quoted the presentations, and on his right
were the President aud Mrs. Grant, Mrs.
Fish and Colonel Grant aud his wife. The
King remained the principal object of at
traction for more than an hour. 1t was a
brilliant assembly in nj its features.
IS a great deal OF criticism has been
passed upon these ceremOnias, says the
, Germantown Telegraph, it may be as well
to assign the reasons for them. The ma
tivcs of these islands were savages until
they were civilized and ChrisIianized by
! American missionaries, who organized the
/ Hawaiian kindom and were the originatOrs
/ OF its institutions and laws. This fabric,
although supposed 10 be hollow and decep-
4 tive, has proved solid and enduring, having
been perpetua,ed and maintained by Ameri-

IT is an easy matter, sometimes, for per
sons 10 assume virtue they do not pos
sess and to ignore the evidence Of the past.
Ii is therefore amusing to find our neigh
Dor Of the Gazette attempting to make his
readers beliyc that the "lmcrsco,' - q
strictly partisan paper, supporting party
measurers right or wrong, while the &c
.etts is independent in its course regardless
of partv. Those who recollect when the
.A,asri,aa'' was started, will also remem-
Der the bold and independent attitude it as
sumed. in denouncing its own party and
r,arty measures that were deemed injurious
to the interests of the country. For in
stance its advocacy of the tariff against the
free traders. When the leaders Of the party
ATTEMPTED to read him out Of the party, and
did so. as far as they were able, when the
then Court House Ring for years refused
10 riye him one dollars worth Of patronage,
while they gave it to political opponent.
With these facts still fresh in the memory
Of many still living. it will sound strange
10 hear the "-imcrjcoH'' denounced as a
partisan paper, and that too 10y its cotem-
porarv of the Gc5ettc, which was the ad-
yocate OF free trade, and known to go it
blind'' for the Democratic party.

THE HOMELESS BOYS.

TIE HOMELESS BOYS.
New York, like London and Paris. has
its thousands upon thousands Of homeless,
houseless, uncared-for children who live,
the Lord only knows how and where.
They are the offspring of either drunken,
criminal, or unfortunate parents, who
either turn them out on the street as soon
as they can walk to live or die, rs fate may
have it. or die and leave them 10 shift for
themselves. Who they are and from
whence they came, they do not know them
selves. That they are, is terrible fact.
Some years ago Corlear's Hook was the
rendezvous of the depraveG and desperate
of the East Side. Gangs of half grown
boys, laSlcss and desperate made that To-
calty their centre, and it was as much as
the life Of man was worth to venture
there The homeless boys and girls there
graduated from boot-blacking and newspa-
per selling to pocket-picking, burglary and
murder, as increasing years gave them IN
creased strength. If one died in a street
brawl, or was offered up a sacrifice to the
law, score of recruits stood ready to take
his place from the numerous ranks of the
homeless. These children sleep in store
boxes. in ash-harrels, in hay-lofts-any
