lherc is n curious story about some native
wines which arc extensively advertised nova
Gays, and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Under! i'll. the wcll-known
grapc-growcr of Croion Point, died in 1877.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views OF such extreme kind that tl,cy were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
nand to be sold or any more to be made.
Inc grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
nave succeeded in arranging for Il settlement
OF the estate md the sale Of the wines on
hand: Among these is Il wine Of the vintage
OF 1864, described as Sweet Union Port,'
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. it, purity, age and mcliowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and vine
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the weli-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbcrs.--N. y. 1is1Hne,
Nov. l9, 1877.
The above speaks for ITSELF but we would
add That this is the pure juice of the grape.

Extract from His Mondays Speech.
The president had selected Que other
who although not a democrat was yet not
q republican who was equally at home
with all parties aud in all places. By turns
he bad been everywhere, and had espoused
aud deserted every party. He spoke like an
oracle, and his facile speech could be fitted
to the viciss!tudes Of parties as readily as a
double faced satin can be turned TO hide the
accidents OF society. HIS critiques upon
his political associates gave him popularity
with his political opponents, and be re.
sembled prophets 10 never being without
honor, except where he happened to reside.
Incons,ant in everything else, he has been
constant to his trade, that of politics. He
entered upon that before be was of age,sDd
has pursued it since without varisbleness or
shadow of turning His first enterprise
was to reyolu,ionize the government under

macy Of the world. He was a major
general, but preserve history refused TO re-
cord his victories. He was a newspaper
correspondent, and was unsuccessful. He
was tfansplanted INTO a1lssOurl, ana Gener.
Gus republicans of that state bore him into
this senate. The elevation did not prove
fatal to him, but his party died-died, not
in spite Of him, but because Of him and
under blows which he inflicted. Having
outraged one party and not yet received
absolution from the other, he denounced
both as machines. Having failed as a deal.
er in legitimate politics he turned his atten-
ton to the contraband article. In 1872 he
helped to lead Horace Greedy and B. Gratz
Brown to the Baltimore market, and taught
the democracy Of that year that they should
call nothing common or unclean if it prom
ised to beat Grant. For six years he tradu-
ced the republican party, probably through
more states, with more rhetoric and in more
languages than any man living. Upon that
illustrious captain who from the 4th Of July,

APPROPRIATION FOR LEPERS.

The popular sentiment among Hawaiians has
been somewhat adverse to the segregation Of their
afflicted fellow countrymen at Kalawao, Molokai.
At the commencement of the present session Of
the Legislature it was feared by many in the
foreign community that a majority of the native
members would vote against any supplies for the
support of the leper settlement but we are gra-
titled to record that the former liberal appropria-
ton has been exceeded by an addition of ten
thousand dollars, and moreover, native members
readily voted another ten thousand dollars in
order to secure the services of O frst-class SUPER
intendent for the settlement, who should be a
physician of repute, during the next biennial
period. The chief opposition to this especial ap-
preparation came from a foreigner. After such
evidence of liberal provision for the sick of Ha-
wall, in accordance with the most enlightened
treatment and management, we trust that the
voices of the sneerers at Hawaiians,-who saw
that they are without thought or reason in the
consideration of a great evil, and would be will
ing to ruin or injure the nation by a return of
the lepers to their homes,-will now be silenced.
As remarked by the Hon. Mr.. Gibson, this
liberal provision of the Legislature, so largely
composed of native Hawaiians, rebounds to the
honor of this country. And as we believe in
giving honor to whom it is rightly due, We have
no hesitation in saying what We know to be a
fact, that it is largely due to the influence exer-
cised upon native members by Mr.. Gibson that
this liberal appropriation was carried. The fol-
lowing is an abstract of the remarks of that
gentleman in proposing an increased appropria-
ton for the leper settlement
Mr.. President,-Th provision made by the Assem-
bly, Of 1876 for our unfortunate lepers was large,
and rebounds to the honor of this country, consider
ing the smallness of cur population and our re-
sources. But l propose that we should do still more.
Enough is provided for food, clothing and lodging.
if properly administered but there are certain
things, essential to the comfort of the sick, for which
some additional means should be voted. The leper
has no light in his hut, unless he is enabled 70 hr~

buy, and must pass weary hours 10 darkness. 1t
would be u heavy item of expense to supply every
one of a community of 700 with a ration OF oiI-sSy
one quart per week but if this quantity be supplied
to a group Of seven, or say to each house or hut per
week, we need not add more than 81 200 to the ap-
preparation for this item. Next comes soap, which
would be a very heavy item if fully supplied but
we ought to provide for at least one bar of soap per
month for each leper, which will be but a scant sup
ply for cleanliness, and this addition will require
$1,000 more. The beef ration Of 6 lbs. per week ls
considered too small, but 1 think that if the poor
leper gets his full ration of q lbs. of taro he Will not
suffer with G lbs. of beef. However, we might add
one pound Of beef, which at &c. per pound, the
lowest estimate, would require US to vote S3,OOO
more. Now, If We provide for salt, some utensils,
and an increased supply of medicines, lint and disin-
fectants, We may properly add enough to require a
full ten thousand dollars more to be added to the ap-
preparation as called for in the bill. We must vote
for this, if we have to let other things stand still.
How can We vote for any measure for public improve
ments and neglect our unhappy lepersf Their last
cry to me and to the members of the Special Com
mittee as We passed from them at Kalaupapa was,
Do not forget US And we will not and cannot for
get them.
The proposed increase, making the amount
S65, 200, was promptly voted by the Assembly.
The hon. member then proposed an additional
item of ten thousand dollars to provide for the
pay of a superintendent at Kalawao. He said
He wanted to provide for the services of a man very
dlthcult perhaps to find. The man needed now at
halaWao should have frst-rate executive ability and
be a physician of repute. He should moreover be u
man of great heart, an enthusiast in the cause of
humanity, and one anxious TO win a noble name as
a benefactor of suffering humanity. Many say it is
hopeless to expect to find such a man but let US
provide liberally,-let US put the means into the
hands of the Government. Let US acquit our hearts
in this matter, and it may be that a brave, generous
and enlightened soul shall come forward from among
the many self-sacrifcing worthless that this world
produces from time to time, and we shall find the
man that our great calamity calls for. He should be
the chief of a medical staff that had full charge of
the lepers of the Kingdom. Such a man is the cry
ing need of the leper settlement at Kalawao. The
lepers all said, Send US a physician we live now
without hope a physician would give US some hope.
And even if we believed all their cases incurable,
shall we deny them the consolation which we all
crave, when suffering, to listen to words from skilled
lips that revive our hopes of life
After slight opposition this item was voted by
a large majority.

NARROW EsCAPE.-Last Tuesday four men--
one a foreigner named Daly-set out in q whale
boat from beyond Diamond Head to come to Ho-
nolulu. When off the Park the boat was capsized
in a squall. and the men got on her bottom.
This was about eleven o'clock in the forenoon.
and the steamer Zedlandid, outward bound.
passed the boat evidently without seeing her.
With the strong trade wind blowing the party
was rapidly drifting out to sea. when sometime
after noon, two OF the men, David Adams and
Una, struck out TO swim for the shore. a distance
OF about four miles, which they accomplished
safely, reaching the reef about half-past 3. Max
ing all haste into town, they spread the news of
the accident, when a pilot boat in command of
Capt. Babcock and the tug Robbie. Can't. Black.
were Immediately dispatched to search for the
boat. The schooner Annie however. which left
port that afternoon for Kauai. fell in with the
boat and rescued the two men.-Daly and a ma
tive,-and kept on her course for the leeward
island.
THE Sarah Nicholson, which arrived at Hong
kong on the 14th of April, reports that on the 22d
of March, in lat. 4 deg. south, long. l64 deg. east,
she passed through at least sixty miles of pumice-
stone floating upon the water. In many places it
was so thick that the water could not be seen at
all for some distance. Those on board picked up

William Cullen Bryant.

The death of this illustrious poet and journal
ist calls for more than a passing notice. and we
keenly realize and acknowledge that it creates
a void in the literary circles of the age that can
not be easily or readily filed. The influence
of his writings upon modern literature, has been
very marked and decided. Many of his poetlcal
works have been translated into foreign Ian
guages, and, although translations generally
fail to give the spirit of the original, they have
always been much admired.
The illness which ended Mr.. Bryant's life
commenced on the goth Of May, the result Of an
accident while he was returning home from Cen
trail Park. in New York City, where he had given
an address upon the occasion of unwilling the
bust of Mazzini. For several days he seemed to
be getting better, but a change for the worse
was soon observed, aHd on Wednesday morning,
June u. he gently breathed his last, aged eighty
three years aud seven months.
Mr.. Bryant was born in the village Of Cum
mington, Mass, on the Sd of November, 1894.
He published his first book in 1908. when he was
thirteen years old. 1t was entitled the EN-
barge" 4 satire upon the political situation as
it was when he wrote. II was q very superior
performance for one so young, although possess
ing no special merit. In the year 1916, ''Thana-
topsis.r which had been composed four years
before. was published in the North American Re
Uietc. This poem was the cornerstone of his fame !;
it was the keynote to his whole nature, and it
may be said that in all his after career he never
wrote anything that surpassed it in style,
thought, or imagery.
In 1921, he married Miss Fairchild, of Great
Darlington, Mass, at which place he was practis-
ing his profession of the law. In 1925, he re-
moved to New York. and soon after commenced
his literary career in earnest. In 1927, he be-
came editor of the EUening Post. which position
he SLED faithfully for thirty-fve years, and he
retained an interest in the journal up to the
time of his death.
He took u conspicuous part in all the promi-
nent events of the day, and was q distinguished
feature in metropolitan circles, being in constant
demand as a central figure on interesting public
occasions. He was naturally reserved and gentle,
careful in his habits. and thoughtful in his man
ner, and always charitable and ready to help his
fellow men. He leaves a fortune estimated at
one million OF dollars.

When thou art gone, the solemn brood Of care
Plod on, and each one, as before, will chase
His favorite phantom yet all these shall leave
Their mirth and their e~mployments, and shall come
And make their bed with thee" r = r r
The concluding lines of - Thanatopsis" may be
aptly quoted to close this brief notice of Mr..
Bryant.

By an unfarering trust, approach thy grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams"

THE PACIFIC
SATURDAY, JULY 13.

The SUBJECT of our treaty relations with Great
Britain, (Which was discussed in a speech by
the Hon. Mr.. Rhodes in the Assembly and
printed in full elsewhere in these %columns) has
been referred to a select committee for considera-
ton and report, which report will probably be
made during the coming week. Judging from
the personnel of the committee, it is to be ex-
pected that the Assembly will be enabled to
adopt a short and satisfactory solution of all the
real or apparent difficulties arising from treaty
stipulations.
