HusHEp UP.-It occurs TO us as little sim

Williams son breaking through the sky-lght
of the Treasury building and providing HIM
self whit might be improper to say stealing,
$4,000 worth of Treasury notes should
have provoked neither criminal prosecution
nor newspaporial comment. Is it because that
young gentleman ~ has influential friends on
the "insidel" Or is the sum so large that its
taking is deemed respectable!

ADJOURNEp FOR A SEAsON-The motley
mixture of ignorant congos and fortune hunting
carpetbaggers and renegades from civilization,
which some cruel cynic has dubbed the "Mis'

the only patriotic act they have done during
the session: and if they would go voluntarily
into perpetual exile we have no doubt the peo-
pie of Mississippi would rise up as one man to
bless them.

MISSION STATIsTICs.-An exchange says
the statistics of the Sandwich Islands Mission,
show a total of 26l elders, 243 priests, 1853
teachers, III deacons, 1881 members. making
a grand total of 1861. Two hundred and forty
three Priests and only one hundred and fifty
nine teachers, looks as if it required more
hands to keep the obstreperous Kanakas out of
the ways of the sinner. than to teach them to
read.

stand that Col. l.. p. Higbee, who was in town
few days ago, from Oneida county, gave it
as his opinion that the number of children in
that county is actually less BY one-half than
reported. Col. Higbee has lived in Oneida
county long enough to form pretty correct
opinion on the subject, and we are willing TO
accept his Judgment in the matter as ccnclu-
sive although it has been our opinion all the
time that one third would be about right.

THE MAILs-If we have said anything
about the irregularity of the mails this winter
that we are sorry for, we are glad of it, The
mails come now as regularly as "clock-work )"
We have received two copies of the Jackson
Vile Times and one of the Sentinel in little
over six weeks; two of the Hollister Enterprise
in about two months; two Of the Kalama Bea-
con in about the same length of time; and the
Salt Lake Herald, a tri weekly paper comes to
us regularly twice a month. So you see we
can have no reason to complain about the

good story OF an impecunious venturer into the

his liquor and hotel bills, only succeeded in
getting away with his bride the following morn.

SHARP PRACTICE-It is reported that the
punctuation Of an enrolled bill Of Congress has
been SO changed by conspiracy of New York
lawyers, that the Government Of the United
States loses $2.000,0O0, and the lawyers and
their clients gain that much. If the statement
is true, the act is forgery, for which the legal
practitioners should be made to serve a term
in the penitentiary.

AN orFICI0Us MEDDLER.

It is not the province Of public newspaper
to discuss matters in litigation between citi
zens, during the tendency of suit. either
with the view, or for the purpose, Of swayini
public opinion, or to influence in any manner
the forthcoming decision Of weak, corrupt,
or otherwise base judges; although such has
generally been the practice Of the press in this
part of Idaho Territory. Taking this view
of our duty as an editor of q newspaper, we
do not intend that the WORLD shall be prOsti-
tuted by US to that or any other illegitimate
purpose. We had intended, after the final de.
cision in the case of John German vs.. the
Board of Commissioners of Boise county had
been reached, to expose the vileness and du.
plicity of justices HOLSTER and Whitson to the
people of this county, that they might know
them, and may yet do so; and We do not now
intend to drag the names Of Messrs. German
and Davis. nor yet the merits of their case into
this editorial. Their differences do not con-
Germ us nor our readers. But the continual
harping upon the matter by the editor of the
Statesman, to which we have had to listen ever
since it was passed upon by the supreme
Court" has become quite intolerable, and we
propose now to reply-not to him nor his glib
berish but to the position he occupies. We

Marx Twain on the Islands.

We have recently seen illusions going the rounds
of the papers to a lecture on the Sandwich Islands
with which this humorist had been treating the Lon
doners, and we were curious to know just what he
had said about US. The Spectator has come to hand,
in which appears a review of the lecture, too long
however for our columns. In reading this, we are
convinced that Marks vein Of humor is by no means
exhausted, and moreover that he is just as careless as
ever as to whose the expense, if fun is only produced.
He began his lecture with a 50 candid avowal Of his
wish to crafty the violent temporary and momentary
hunger for information about the Sandwich Islands,
with as serious an air as if the fame of the Sandwich
Islands was really in every mouth, and anxiety about
them the ruling passion of every heart. The resolve
either to appease or to stimulate to a still higher level
Of enthusiasm the assumed thirst for knowledge about
the Sandwich Islands, became in the highest degree
grotesque."
He propounded q problem to the audience which
had exercised his mind very much Why the Sand
Wich Islands should have been put away out there in
the middle of the Pacific Ocean," a point which he
declared to be not really 9 open TO criticism, - so that
it would not be graceful to dwell upon it" He
told his hearers that the kanaka men, not being
proud, used to wear nothing but { a smile, or a pair
Of spectacles, or any little thing like that and
shout the cannibal kanaka who wanted to try " how
Europeans would go with onions and who, after
eating the tough captain of a whaler, died of the
crime on his conscience and the whaler on his stom-
ach;'' Of the blessings of European influence to the
kanakas as having consisted of 90 complicated diseases,
education, civilization, and all sorts of calamities;''
about the liberality with which kanakas adopt moth
ers; and so on with abundance of absurdities, wind
ing up appropriately with the statement that one
could have all kinds of a climate in the Islands, from
tropical heat to the air of the mountain top, where it
is = so miserably cold that a man can't tell the truth -
