Some of the leading citizens consult
the matter, and having determined
upon their course they proceed to enlist
volunteer recruits. With this view,"
says Kirby, "they eagerly accost sew

society, caress them with their antenna.

pending himself upon his mandibles,
hangs coiled up spirially under his
neck-all which passes in an amicable
manner after mutual salutations.
Sometimes, however, the recruiter
takes the other by surprise and drags
him from the ant-hill without giving
him time to consider or resist"

February 18th. 1t supposes the trial to be still
unfinished on that day twenty-five years hence,
and its report is for February Is, A. D. 1900. 1t
pictures the aged and feeble judge, counsel and
jurors, the latter having all gone into bankruptcy,
their business vanished and they lost all means of
livelihood. Eyarts has meantime been President
of the United States Tilton's friend has become

Tilton, of the church of Grace, Mercy and Peace. q"
Bower and Carpenter have also become reyerends,
the latter "pastor of the Church of the Divine
Harnonies and Elective A6nities." The princi-
pal personages in the case are accompanied in
court by their grandchildren, grown to manhood.
The following are the closing paragraphs of the
'' report"
The jury tottered in slowly and took their seats,
but tefore proceeding with the case General Tracy,
who arose with great d~ifhculty, said that he had a
petition in his hand which he would like to present TO
his honor, a proceeding in which, he was happy to
say, ne had obtained the consent Of his learned asso-
ciates on both sides.
"As your honor well knows he said, {" for the
last eleven years seven Of the jurors have been in the
Brooklyn almshouse, one of them having been re-
moved under the care Of q learned physician for q
disease Of the brain, which had not quite pronounced
itself. As your honor knows, the demands of this
case have been Of such q character that these gentle
men have all gone into bankruptcy, their business
has vanished, they have lost all means Of livelihood,
and are compelled, with their families, to accept the
gracious bounty Of the city. Your honor win fur
Their remember that with due consideration for the
rights Of the jurymen and q vigorous determination
to uphold the majesty Of the law, you issued an order
that meat should be given to the jurymen at least
once q day, and that they should have certain privi-
leges not generally awarded to the inmates of the in
situations Of charity. Now, it Is my painful duty to
inform your honor that since the advent Of the ring
into Office great frauds have been committed, and it
has been discovered that the inmates Of that aims
house have been shamefully robbed, and our intelli-
gent and patient jurymen are permitted meat only
twice a week, while two of them, who find pork and
beans Necessary for intelligent consideration Of the
case, have been, in defiance Of your honor's order,

SoUTH SEA IsIANDs.-Captain King, of the cutter
Leslie, while recruiting labour at Aurora, one of the
New HebrIdes Group, was murdered by the ma
ives. They also killed the other natives which
composed the boats crew. There wass another
boat on shore at the same time, in charge of the
trading master. He showed of, and tried to cover
the first boat with his gun every time he fred the
natives lodged behind the boat, and then would run
out and club the crew before the mate could load
again. They stripped the body of the captain and
dragged it into the bush, in sight of those in the
boat The natives seemed to be friendly a few min
utes before, and exchanged trade, and no reason
can be assigned for the outbreak 1.-THE trading
master, being no navigator, did not know what to
do with the vessel, but after some knocking about
they managed to reach Havannah harbour, and the
mate of the Halle Jackson, the vessel that was
wrecked there, brought the cutter on to Levuka.
Captain Douglass, of the Mary Eliza, has just
returned from a labour cruise. He has brought
s~ixty-fve labourers. He reports that while at Am
byrn Island, he saw in the possession OF the natives
q ships boat, painted white, with mast, sails, and
oars, which had something like a name painted on
the stern. The natives would not allow him to
land, and had fighting pits dug on the beach. He
was there some six months before, and landed some
labourers. Each Of these had a gun, and on this
occasion made use of them. Ell"

+ THERE HAS ALwAYs been more or less of a mud
die connected with the subject of postage on
newspapers sent as exchanges from Honolulu to
the United States, and vice versa. Different
Postmasters in that country seem to take different
views as to the law or at all events, their practice
is different. Some Of our exchanges come to us
with four cents stamps on them some with two
cents; some marked Sc paid quarterly; :" and some,
as the New York Herald, with nothing to indi-
cate that they pay any postage whatever. By
the Hawaiian law, exchanges between newspapers
pay no postage, but those sent to subscribers or
transiently, are subject to a tax of two cent?.
We hope that our Postal Convention may ere
long be revised and placed On a moro equitable
footing. The following letter from the Office of
the New Bedford Shipping Last will explain itself;
NEW BEDFORD, February Goth. 1876.
Publishers Commercial advertiser:
DEAR ~SIRs.-OWing 10 o recent decision Of our
Post Office Department at Washington, we are under
the necessity Of requesting you TO discontinue the
ADVERTISED sent to this Office as an exchange. This
Convention between the Hawaiian Kingdom and the
United States. The decision is this ..rrF
We are allowed to send our paper to the Sandwich
Islands to subscribers and exchanges at two cents
per pound, payable at the office Of mailing. But all
papers received in the United States from the Sand
Wich Islands, are subject to one cent for each fIoo
ounces or fraction thereof, aad that to be paid at the
Office of reception Ia the United States. So you will
perceive zoe have to pay 6fty-two cents q year on the
paper you send US, and only q trihe (say about ten
cents a year) on the paper tre sc2d you, and you hare
no postage to pay on either. For the last eighteen
months we have been paying the regular United
States postage Of twenty cents q year on papers sent
and received, when the Convention declares that ex-
changes between editors shall be free. If the deci-
sion from Washington is correct each Of your sub
scribers in the United States will have to pay fifty
two cents a year on their paper. Will you please
look into this matter. Perhaps Judge Allen of Homo
lnlu will decide differently.
Yours respectfully, E. p. RAYMOND.
P. Sat any time that we can reciprocate ex-
changes on q fair basis shall be glad to do so.
