THE Washington Star gives the fol-

Kalakaua, king of the Sandwich is

70 begin with, he is married, and,
being born November 16, 1886, is just
about month over thrty-eight years
fage. He is an Hawaiian by birth,
Icing born at the foot of Punch Bowl
hill, Honolulu. His father was the
high chief MISUNDERSTANDING (Aapaa-
ken for shOrt), and his mother the
high chiefess Keohokalole. He is a
little darker in complexion than a
saffron color, not quite as dark as the
negro. He has full broad chest,
weighs about hundred and eighty
pounds, has curly hair, but mustache
which protrudes with silken tineness
well over the lower jaw. He was
dressed in heavy Chinchilla over
coat, light in color, black pants and
coat Ordinary American patternl,
black boots, number eight boots, well
polished, and latest style of stovepipe
hat. He is represented by the en-
bassy as a man of very great intelli-
gence, speaks English fluently, and is
a greater reader; is simple in his man.
ners, and goes out in society in Hon
olulu the same as any private gentle
man, with this difference, that his
royal prerogative gives him the ne
cessity of returning any calls made
upon him. His face is lit up by large
black eye of considerable fire, and on
the whole he presents the appearance
of gentleman of refinement and in
telligence.
THE KINGS EDUCATION.
He was educated at the royal college.
He speaks English very tluently, and
is a careful reader Of English and
American newspapers. This royal col
lege is done away with now, its place
being taken by more democratic in
stitution, open to all. This college of
Runahou is presided over by man by
the name of Church, graduate of
Oherlin, Ohio. The system of educa-
tion in the islands is compulsory, and
the percentage of people who cannot
read or writeis much less than in any
state in this country.
Prince DaTeN was for a long time
clerk of the interior department, and
was clerk of the privy council under
the two last kings, go that he had be-
come quite familiar with the working
of the government before he became
king. He was married upon the 10Th
of December, 1863, to the Chiefess
daughter of the Hawaiian
chief Keowe, and his wife Kaiauinuia-
The present queen was
after the celebrated Kapiiolani,
in history as the first one
who broke the idolatrOus taboos.

Cotton.

The New York Herald, in an able
review of the agricultural situation in
the United States, makes the following
remarks in regard to the principal pro-
duct: ar
Our cotton crop, which averages two
hundred millions ayear in our cash ac-
count against Europe, though consid-
erably damaged in many districts and
In some localities almost destroyed 10y
floods, drouth or insects, will, it is be-
lleved, exceed the general crop of last
year In quantity and quality and in
cash returns, with favorable weather
for the ripening and picking hencefor-
ward to the close of the season. The
southern rice crop has turned out hand
some but 1t appears that In the article
of tobacco there will be d considerable

no promise of any material increase In

Lame for Congress.
MARSHALL, August 20, 1874.
To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
Thinking that few lines from the
headquarters of the Texas and Pacific
would not he uninterestIng TO your
readers, have concluded to give you
u few items of general interest. The
usual dizziness of summer is somewhat
relieved In this county by the efforts
the taxpayers association of Harrision

by proper motions in the district court,
made and argued by Messrs. w. $,
Coleman, Il. b. Sexton, and Mabry and
Mckay, attorneys of this bar, Sheriff
Russell's bonds, as collector of state
tax and ~ collector of county tax,
have been declared insufficient, and
Russell required to make new bonds in
each case for thirty-tive thousand
dollars each. We feel rejoiced to be-
lieve 1t impossible for him to do so,
and we thus hope to rid the county of
n Radical officer, elected by the ne
groes over the unanimous vote OF the
whites. The taxpayers association,
through their attorneys named above,
will continue their efforts at law
against all the county radical officials.
Unfortunately, every official in the
county Ia u radical except the district
clerk, and fortunately every one but
the clerk and possibly the sheriff, is
under one to three indictments. The
citizens feel very grateful to Messrs.
Coleman, Mabry, Mckay and Sexton
for their noble and able efforts in be-
half of the county.
We have lately had several light and
partial showers mitigating the intense
heat, and improving the cotton not
too far gone. The farmers do not look
so blue NJ they did some time since,
and If cotton brings II fair price this
fall, we will not have any greater
scarcity of money than Is usual.
Marshall is steadily, not to say rap
idly, improving. Its material pros
derity Is evident to even casual OBJ
servers. The burned district will soon
have upon 1t the handsomest block of
two-story brick buildings ever seen in
Marshall. The Masonic female nsti-
tute, under the presidency of the Rev.

They Went Out in the Night.

Three cOlCred men who have been board
ING at the County Workhouse for a few

too kind-heated to rouse the NOrEhouse
keeper from his slumbers, neither did they
care to disturb the night Waterman, who, 1t
is said, was gently dosing at the time. IN
der these circumstances, they were unable
TO pass out Of the building Though the hole
the carpenters left for that purpose, but quiz
etly dug out hole in the wall under one
of the front windows OF tie building, using
an old horse shoe for that purpose. After
they had enlarged the hole sufficient for
their purposes. they cut a heavy blanket
into strips, tied the ends together, then fast
ened one end OF this imprOyised rope to the
iron bars at the window, GiTcW the other
ont ai the hole underneath, and took their
departure in quiet, transformations man
ner.
There were nine prisoners IL this room
and the ore adjoining, and 1t is suppose!
that they would have all escaped had 1t not
been for the fact that at this juncture

heard the other prisoners passing rapidly
back from the window TO their hunks.
