Edison ExCELLED-Mr. W. O. Watts. a we'll
known lawyer aud real estate operator Of this city,
assisted by DR.. Maxwell, has invented an instru-
ment for transmitting sound that throws the Bell
and Hughes telephones in the shade. It's sim
plicity of construction is remarkable. There is no
need Of electric connection for signal purposes.
and no costly mechanical continuance. The APP
paratus consists Of a piece Of light pine board with
circular aperture covered with thin sbeepskin
anely dressed, to the center Of which one end Of
the wire is attached, held in place by a steel but
ton. The whole is framed In n substantial box.
That is all. And yet so well does the instrument
work that the whispers may be heard. though the
conversation takes place at a distance Of bali
a mile. A further distance has not yet been tried.
Ii is not necessary that one place the ear TO the
diaphragm in order 10 hear the communication.
An exhibition was given yesterday TO a Courier
Journal reporter with the most surprising results.
One end of the wire was on Jefferson, between
Fourth and Fifth, and the other in the second story
Of the Court House. So distinct were the trans
missions that the sounds were perfectly audible at
a distance Of one hundred feet. All the vowel
sounds and consoDants were plainly heard, some
thing which other telephones have not yet been
able TO accomplish. 1t was found possible for the
operator to make himself heard while speaking 10
the instrument at a distance Of six feet. A concert
in a room and a speech can be clearly brought
over the wire, as Mr.. Watts has often tried. Not
only are the sounds Transmitted. II should be said.
but they are magnihed. In order 10 signal IL Is
only necessary 10 call, and the message Is delivered
with such effect that a sleeping person can be
awakened. Mr.. Watts and Dir. Maxwell have APP
piled for a patent, and they are ready 10 operate
their instruments on reqnest-LodsUHs Courier

REMovAL-Among the changes and public i'm
provements under way at present, we note the fitting
up Of the Fort street portion of the Brewer Block for
the Stationery, Book and Fancy Goods Store Of Mr..
Thos. G.. Thrum, which branches he moves from the
Merchant street Store to meet the demand for this
line of business, nearer the centre of retail trade.
One party remarked. { it is no reason because the
stationery trade, located originally on the beach, that
it should always stay there" This change will un-
doubtedly be a benefit to the up town public. By
advertisement in another column il will be seen that
the Book Bindery will be removed into the old store,
where Commercial Stationery, News and Bindery
branches will hold their headquarters. and the whole
business, through the connection of the two stores by
telephone, will be more condensed than it has been
with the bindery and store on opposite sides Of the
street.

a NEW YORK MINISTER Of BEER-Rev. DR..
Howard Crosby says My impression Is that
everything that would bring about the drinking o.
beer in the place OF spirituous liquors is desirable.
l know that great efforts have been made Tor the
introduction and capitalization Of beer as a bev-
erage, and that il has grown in favor. but / do not
know anything particularly about the proposed
reduction in its price. II that is practicable, I
think it is a very desirable thing. OF course, peo-
pie will drink too much beer, as they will eat too
much food and drink too much ice-water, but il
would be a good thing If the rum. gin and brandy
drinkers should become beer drinkers instead IL
would be the greatest step toward temperance
that has ever been taken. If we could get all SEN
sible people to look at this thing in a calm way
and by the right light. 1 think We could soon get
the great mass of the public TO accept that posi-
ton.
Regarding the free sale Of ale and beer. ] should
feel very much q Mayor Ely does-tbal / would
not want to impose a license TO sell those mild
drinks any more than to sell soda water and
lemonade. 1t would be necessary, however. il the
traffc were made free Of license. TO exercise great
care that strong drinks were not sold under the
names Of ale aud beer. l have no present means
beer is practicable or not or. II it il. whether the
burden of that reduction should fall upon the
brewers or the retailers. But il il eau BE- made.
1t should be, and the subject is one worthy OF
serious and close investigation. All should be
done to remove unnecessary profits and lower
the cost Of this beverage to consumers.

K~apiolani Park.

At the last session Of the legislature the Hon.
ME. Clegborn presented = petition signed by over
ono hundred residents and taxpayers Of Homo.
luln, setting forth that in the opinion Of the petit
toners Il; will greatly benefit tho public At
large IL the street or road known as King Street >
be extended 10 the Kariolani Park Association
grounds at WAIKIKI and asking that a sum Of
money he voted sufficient to defray the expense Of
constructing such road ani 70 purchase some
kEle4EG rights on the route. The petition re.
ceived the favorable consideration Of the Assem-.
bly,, aud in voting a round sum for roads and
bridges throughout tho kingdom. it was dis
tinctly understood By members and by the Minis
ters that SO, 900 was 10 be expended on the con
unuation Of King street 10 the Park. Bat 30
far, we hear OF no steps being taken towards
carrying out the evident intention Of the Assem-
bly,. However, when there is so much 10 be
done by Ministers, and a very evident desire on
their part to do their duty. the public must
wait in patience for the construction of the pro-
posed road. which would at once enhance the
value Of property in that direction, build up n
handsome seaside suburb to Honolulu, and by
the increase Of taxable values add TO the revenue
OF the government. The following is list Of the

a CORRESPONDENT sends US the following "One
day this week a very funny speculation took place
between a well-known lawyer and a native woman.
The lawyer in searching among old papers, found,
as be supposed, that a certain old native woman was
entitled to a half interest in a large tract Of land in
Kohala, Hawaii. The lawyer spread his eagle
wings, and felC in search Of the native woman until
he found her. The lawyer was anxious to buy her
right to the land, but she positively denied having
any claim, but after taking a few puts, he succeeded
in making the woman believe she was the lucky
claimant. Upon this the lawyer Immediately offered
the woman $1,000 to deed her claim to him. AS
soon as the bargain was closed and the money paid,
the lawyer bethought himself that he had not ex-
omined the records, and while on his way to do so.
met a brother lawyer and related to him how fortu-
nate he had been that morning, that he had made
himself independently rich, by buying 5000 acres Of
the best cane land in Kohala. But on examining
the records, be found that the woman's interest had
been sold some three or four years ago for much
larger sum of money than be had paid her. The
LAWYER had the deed to a land that he could not buy,
and the woman had the $1,000. Reader, don't you
think that if you had a spread eagles wings you
would have had q fy?'
ISince receiving the above, we have learned that
the woman magnanimously returned all the money
except So, which she had spent-ED.l

becoming on its frontispiece as a donkey's ears
affixed to a bird of Paradise. 1t is essentially Mon
golian outside and inside ; it smells Of opium as the
devil smells of birthstone when issuing from the
Internal regions. As it has secured " competent and
experienced correspondents" in the eastern cities
and California, its readers will doubtless be kept
well posted on all the doings of the Chinese En-
bassy aud what Kwang Chang Ling is doing to
advance Christianity in Washington. Its San Fran
cisco correspondent will give us al the news from
the "Pacifc Coast Range with liberal extracts
from the -4rgOnaut. A few years ago, when your
" sneaking correspondent resided on the Pacific
Coast Range all the village papers had able
correspondents in New York and Washington all
such correspondence was a drug on the market at
a dollar a letter by this time it has probably
fallen to four bits, so that the exchequer Of the

GERMAN EsPIoNAoE. Since the attempted ssahs-

thorities are little inclined 10 allow even the slight

MAKING BREAD AGAINST TINE.-The last sensa-
ton occurred last Thursday, when about City men
were present by invitation to see Jim Lawton beat
his own time Of two years ago, when his wife bad
baked in eight and a quarter minutes after the
wheat was standing In the Geld. At &C 10 O'Clock
the Buckeye reader, drawn by Cy. Burnett's dun
mules, stood at the corner Of the growing wheat,
machine in gear ready for a start. Men were sta
toned every few feet along the line OF grain, ready
to seize an armful as it fell from the reaper, and
rush with it to the thresher close by, which, under
the direction Of veteran drivers, was getting under
way for business. At the mill. just sixty rods
away, Lawton stood at the window watching the
moment when McCaw, on the swiftest horse in the
county, shonld start from the thresher with the
grain, while Mrs. Lawton and her niece. Miss Alice,
had all the preparations made TO make griddle
cakes and biscuits in the shortest possible time.
At the drop Of the hat the dun mules sprang to the
work, and in one minute fifteen seconds the
threshed wheat, about a peck, was in the sack and
on the horse, and the race commenced for the mill.
There were two bridges 10 cross, and the excited
spectators could see only n column OF dust, hear a
couple Of taps on the plank bridges as the horse
flew over them at lightning speed, and the wheat
was delivered TO Lawton in the mill. In one min
ute seventeen seconds the -four was delivered 10
Mrs. Lawton, and in three minutes hity-nve seconds
from the starting OF the reaper the hrst griddle-
cake came from the hands of Miss Alice. was COB
bled by a dozen eager hands-and that was the
last of IL. In four minutes thirty-seven seconds
from the starting of the reaper. according to the
best double-timer stop-watch in the country, "A pan
of biscuits was delivered I. the hungry crowd by
Mrs. Lawton, and that was the last seen OF them.
Then other pans of delicious biscuits were baked
more at leisure. and boiled ham and " one-minute
biscuit; formed q sandwich il was right hard 10
beat, and then, as it would be impossible for a
Western gathering Of any kind to be worthy the
name without speech of some kind, Mr.. Smithy
proposed that General Shields make a speech,
which be did in those incompatible graceful words
of his that fill even so prosaic a proceeding as
grinding wheat with the poetry of eloquence.
Then Lawton, in his modest way, had to say some
thing and he made a little speech, which was
heartily applauded as well as that Of General
Shields, and the party separated.-CarToton (Mo)

palace OF SwEETs"-This is the suggestive
title adopted by the proprietors of the unique es-
adjustment recently fitted up on Hotel street,
near Fort. In ~neatness. and, indeed, luxurious
ness of its appointments, it far exceeds anything
ever before attempted here. The makai room is a
bijou of a parlor, the fittings and %hangings, cur
tains, etc, being in red. while the pale red tint Of
the lamp globes gives a most pleasing and harmo-
NOUS coloring to the whole. The next room has
its etc, in blue. and the care and good
taste in the arrangement leaves nothing TO be de-
sired. The contrast to the FIRST room is most
marked. The mauka. or green room, cannot be
described in a sentence. 1t is the gem of the es-
adjustment. 1t is festooned with vines. in pots,
trailed over the trellises and wire work which di-
vide the room into arbors, and give it the appear
ance of miniature grotto especially adapted for
the purposes of fairy revel. The ferns and plants,
in every nook and corner, add to the beauties of
the room. which must be seen to be properly adj
mired. The creams. cakes. lemonade, ginger beer
and other coed things-what shall we say of them =?
Simply Try them, as we have done, and if you
are not pleased, all we have to add is, that your
palate must be awry.
