MODERATELY GOOD SHIPPERS.

A good joke is told of wealthy New
Yorker, with an eye for a good horse,
who shortly after betaking himself to
his summer residence on Long Island,
i'll April last, was sitting on his piazza
one fine morning, and noticing a pair of
fine steppers that were being driven on
the road in front of his house. The
team consisted of bay and gray mare,
and the driver was an unassuming,q quiet,
well behaved young man. The New
Yorker noticed them again on the fol-
lowing day, and was more than ever i'm
pressed with their fine style and grace
full step, and he decided at once to buy
them. Accordingly on the next day he
stationed himself at his gate, and when
the team came Jogging along by him he
signaled the driver to stop. ''That's a
pretty fair team you drive" says he.
Eyes, they are moderately good step
pers, was the response. care they for
sale % asked the New Yorker. "Well,
yes would sell them, was the rather
hesitating reply. ''Send them along
down the road and back, so that [ can
see how they move" says the New
Yorker. Up and down they were sent a
few times, and at length the gentleman
seemed satisfied, and signalled the driv-
er to pull up. 81 like, them," said he,
fpretty well, and will buy them if the
price is not too high what do you ask
for them % ''Sixty-fve thousand dol
lars was the reply, very coolly given.
The gentleman opened his eyes and
mouth in astonishrlant, and Charley
Green drove off with Lulu and Fleety
Golddust at q 2.25 gait. leaving the old
gentleman to wonder at the high prices
of good fair roadsters.

\ CENTURY PnANT.-A century plant
which recently bloomed in Florida is
thus described The disk of the plant
was twelve feet in diameter, and more
than thirty feet in circumference. 1t
threw up n stalk forty-five feet high,
being at the base. say nine or ten inches
in diameter, and looking like a gigantic
asparagus plant. At a distance of fif-
teen feet from the top it began to sway
in regularly diminishing half curves,
throwing out branches at each. It bore
from 1000 to 10000 flowers, $500 of
which were actually counted. When ct
its greatest height gust of wind broke
fifteen feet off.

A MEMOIR of Renon, the distinguish
ed French meteorologist, published some
years ago, is now being quoted to show
that severe winters come III periods, and
that four or five of them are usually
benched round one central winter of
greatest intensity. The coming winter,
therefore, may not be quite rs cold as
the last, but it may be still colder, if
Renon's theory is correct. The three
winters Immediately preceding last Were
of character to confirm the theory.
The period is supposed to be forty one
years. which corresponds to the max
imunl solar eruption.

and the rapidit!y with which he has re-
covered it is remarkable. Even when
he came on board the Brisbane a week
ago, his knowledge of his own language
was very limited, and it was curious to
see the manner III which word of it's

tribe, of which, however, about one hun
bred words have been collected from
him and taken down by Lieut. Ottley,
Il. E. What is very much more remark
able, however, than his recovery of his
mother tongue, is the fact that he has
not lost the powers of reading or writing
after disuse OF several years, during
which he of coarse never saw a book.
and, as he says, never wrote a line; nor
indeed, did the blacks know that he pos
sessed the power to do SO. Very prob
ably he did not know 1t himself.

Reciprocity.

From all that we can gather out Of the Senatorial
debates on the question Of Reciprocity with the Ha-
waiian Kingdom. it seems that the impelliDg cause
for a favorable determination was the probability
that if the United States did not confirm it the oppor-
tuuity would bavesbeen offered 70 Great Britain, in
which case our Pacific Ocean commerce would, In the
event Of war with England, be entirely at The mercy
Of that power. Among those who figured prominently
in this view Of the subject we're General ScboGeld, Of
the army, cornnnnding the Department Of the Poetic,
and Admiral Porter, Of the navy. These gentlemen
hold that with q line drawn from British Columbia TO
Australasia and the Hawaiian Islands in its possession,
England would have almost absolute control Of the
Pacific Coast, whereas il they we're held by US. either
tbroqgh treaty Or otherwise, such a result could not
be possible, because theyecould not then be used IS q
coaliDg station for heavy British ships Of war. This
national consideration appears to be the one which
carried the most weight, as those referring solely 70
trade and commerce were treated as mere appendices.
BY this treaty the Hawaiian Government binds itself
not to cede or lease any bay or barbor, OF any portion
Of its territory to q foreign power other than the
United States, Some Senators appear TO regard the
confirmation Of the treaty as a sort Of entering wedge
for a permanent tenure Of the Islands. However that
may be, il is gratifying 10 know that the subject has
been disposed Of finally. The Uncertainties conEecfed
with il have been q source Of irritation for some years,
but now that il is settled, everybody will know ex-
actly how TO base his business iransacbonE with the
Islands. As there seems to be some grave misgivings
in reference to the conditions imposed by the treaty.
We have no possible doubt of its being already q fixed

CARGO SNAsHERs.-The employees on American
railroads have earned the title OF baggage
smashers, - owing to the miscbievous way they have
of knocking things about. The officers of the Aus
tralian steamers running to San Francisco are
likely to earn a similar distinction, judging by the
way some freight from New Zealand was treated
recently. Cases were dropped over the side of the
Mikado into the lighter without tackles, to the i'm
minent risk of going through 10 the bottom of the
harbor, and the perishable contents were found on
examination inextricably mixed and ruined from
rough treatment Of the packages on board while
some freight never came to hand at all.

sible was allowed from the ship to the shore, and
she sailed the same evening with the mails and
several Honolulu passengers for San Francisco.

FIRE AT HALAwA-We regret to learn that the
sugar mill buildings of j. R. Williams, Esq. at
Halawa, Eva, were totally destroyed by fire on
Tuesday night last. Besides the buildings, a
small lot of sugar on hand was burned, and the
machinery more or less damaged. The property
was insured for $4,000. We understand that an
appraisement is being made Of the loss. So far,
there appears to be no actual proof that the ERE
was the work of an incendiary. .-.
