tined for the altar. Others begin
pulling up the palisades surrounding
the sacred enclosure, the Moral. where
the elders meet. King Kalaimano re-
monstrates, but they laugh and persist.
Lono cones up, crosses the sacred
boundary, and is about to enter the
MORA. kalaimano ~intercepts his
progress, but Lono rudely pushes him
away. halaimanO takes Lono up in
hls arms, and on his struggling to
free himself presses him lightly.
Lono cries out with pain. He
cries, so he is not a god" exclaims
halaimanO, and kills him. The other
gods who were pulling up the stakes
ny, but the natives fall on them. and
strange to say, their blood flows like
that OF mortals. Kalaimano, how
ever, while launching arrows from the
shore, is killed by the invisible fire.
Thus your fathers, concludes Kupa,
saw the death in one day Of their gods
and their chief. In this song the two
visits OF the vessels are fused into
one; and while Lieutenant King
represents that the natives had stolen
a boat and attacked the sailors, that
Captain Cook was leading away the
chlet as a hostage TO secure redress,
that a woman melted an attempt to
rescue him, and that Cook and his
men fired to drive them off and that
they then rushed on him and killed
him with their knives. Kupa LAYS the
blame on the sacrilege of the visitors.
and describes Cook as killed by the
chief alone. 1t is not often in en-
counters between Europeans and bar
barlans that we meet with the version
given by the latter, and nearly a CEN
fury elapsed before it was committed
to writing.

From The Lsnslon Standard.

Frum the Lsndon Standard.
Very little observation will convince
any one xho goes into society that the
mania for gambling is not confined to
the male sex. There is nothing that
strikes the student of the early history
of card playing more forcibly than the
avidity with which the pastime was
INDUCED in by women a well ~ men.
My purpose rather is to show how this
old vice is breaking out again among
the so-called gentler sex, who soon,
however, lose all claim TO the epithet
in the unseemly wrangles of the card
table. There can be no doubt that
there is more gambling among women
Mt the present time than has been the
case since public gaming tables were
put down by act of Parliament. The
harmless bet Of a few pair of gloves at
race meetings Is now considered far
beneath the notice of a dashng ma
tron or fast maiden. There are not
few female "plungers" on the turf who
put the pot on" as the idiotic jargon
of the race course has it, with a. much
cagerness as the most dissipated sub.
altern at the Raleigh, who stands to
win heap Of money at Ascot or at
Goodwood. with the alternative of
running his old father. the country

tion of those who foster and encourage
this state Of things to realize the posi-
tion of woman, whether married or
unmarried. who has to owe 10 an ad-
mirer the money for which she dare
not ask husband or father. In the
case of woman who rules house
hold and has a certain amount Of
money at command, We know, too,
what often happens. Swift spoke only
of the evils Of his own day, but the
lines were prophetic in which he makes
his modern lady" pay her gambling
debts with the money her husband had
left for certain household expenses.
When once woman has done such
thing, the theft, for it is as we'll to call

things by their right names, becomes
easier the next time she has occasion
to help herself to the household funds,
and the misery caused by such con
duct is incalculable. If the female
plunger be unmarried, she has recourse
probably to some accommodating dress
maker, or, worse still, she accepts
pecuniary help from some male friend,
and perhaps puts herself for life in the
power of a man who will one day
make her pay dearly for the indiscre-
tion.
Card-playing, rs well as betting, is
on the increase, too, in certain circles.
| read only the other day, Il newspaper
report of case in which mention was
made Of the game of "Baccarat" being
played at the house of lady well
known in fashionable circles, where
"humble means" kept the bank, and
where there was gambling for very
rich stakes. This sort of thing, Of
course, finds imitators. The old round
game which, in my youth, was played
"for love-" or for counters at half
penny or penny q dozen, is now ex-
tinct, and in too many country-houscs
one hears of "Vingt-et-un" and "Na-
poleon" played for shillings and half
crowns-games ut which young people
lose far more money than they can
afford, and which lead to lamentablc
exhibitions of greed and bad temper.
All who have trequcnted Continental
gaming tables can testify how eager
ly women take TO gambling. Nor are
they particularly scrupulous Us to the
means they adopt to win. There is,
to my thinking, no spectacle more
sorrowful than the sight of number
of fresh-fnccd English girls rejoicing
in their winnings or lamenting their
losses at cards, and wrangling over Il
game at which they would never quar-
rel were it not for the stakes. Here,
then, we are witnessing n revival of n
bad old fashion, which ought TO be at
once stamped out by those who ha ie
any authority over young people. If
something is not done the fashion, the
mania (call it what you like, will
spread, until the scandals of a past
generation are only paralleled by the
exposures OF the present.
