mary Clemmer, the most interesting and
raey correspondent of papers from Washing-
ton' says IN her letter to the Independent,
alter giving Blaine's characteristics:
The claims Of Ulysses Grant to be made
a third time President of the United States
are far more preposterous than fictitious,
The country has paid him ten times over for
an that he ever was or ever did as soldier
Had it, his civil administration would have
annuiIed the last lingering fraction of debt,
Are the crowds adoring the great soldier
now! Not at all. They are run ming after the
man who, for two years and seven months
has made public spectacle of himself around
the entIro globe, for the Cutting of his own
vanity and tor political end.
so monstrous greed for self adulation
when has tho world seen it before? If he
would suosde in GsIena long enough to give
the human race rest, and slight relief from
the sight OF his lame, it might at least be
grateful; but no, having squeezed Europe
and Asia of their last ovation, now Cuba and
Mexico must be seized"

The more We live. more brief appear
Our llfe's succeeding stages:
day to childhood seems year.
And years like passing ages.
The gladsome current of our youth.
Ere passion yet disorders.
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its grassy botders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan,
End sorrows shafts fly thicker,
1e stars that measures life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
Waen JOYS hsvo lost their bloom aud breath
And life itself is vapid,
Why.as we near the FalAs of Death,
Feel We its tide more rapid?
1t may be strange. but who would change
Times course to slower Speeding,
When one by one our friends are gone
And loft our bosom bleeding.
Heaven gives our ears of fading strength
1ndemnlfving fiectness;
And those of youth, seeming length
ProPortioned to their sweetness.

The Cruise of the Brig Hazard.

Through the kindness of Captain Miller, the
Gilbert Islanders that came on the Hazard were
a llowed to come ashore Sunday afternoon and GO
TO havalahao Church to attend religious service
there. Rev. d. Bingham and wife have held such
service for several months with varying at
tendance. from 80 to co. Captain Miller and his
wife deserve high praise for their Christian kind
ness TO these poor ignorant creatures. Mrs Miller
has personally cared for their comfort and knows
them all BY name Captain Miller has interested
himself In making their stay on ship board as
pleasant as was possible, painting checker-boards
on the deck to furnish amusement for their idle
hours. About one-fourth of them 60 to Kauai. The
others, to kau, to the plantation formerly Hutch
inson's, now Irwin IL Co.'S
The HI-Ird brings news from the Morning Star,
which was at Tapiteuea September 20 1t had
taken Captain Bray, 1886 miles of sailing, is DAYS
time to reach Tapiteuea from Apaiang. The Ha
walian missionaries, kapu and Nalimu. were do
ing well. a congregation of 100 people assembled
In the church at kapus station. and were very at
tentve and orderly. The building is 166 feet long
&C feet wide. Nalimu had been exonerated, after
public trial, from all the charges made against
him. The traders apparently wanted to get rid Of
him, because guns, liquors and tobacco had ceased
to be desirable articles OF trade to the natives,
who care now more for cloth and lumber The
natives at the South end of Tapiteuea had been
drinking toddy continuously and become very
quarrelsome. When the North end people went
down to gather cocoanuts from their own trees
there. they were driven of. As they had voluntarily
destroyed all their weapons of war. they prepared
clubs and returned to assert their rights There
was hard fight. Two hundred or more of the
South end people were killed only ten from the
North end. Rev. Mr. Walkup and wife went with
Captain Bray to Tapiteuea, and were to return to
Apaiang, whence the Morning Star would sail for
Kusaie.

Board of Immigration.

meeting of this Board was called on Friday last
for the purpose of giving gentlemen engaged III the
planting interest an opportunity to state any plans
that they might wish to suggest The results of the
meeting are by no means up to our expectations.
Mr. Carter, the Chairman made an explanation of
the financial condition of the Board. which does
not seem very furnishing. There is only $1,000 in
hand to carry on the schemes of the Board. He
also spoke in defense of South Sea Island immi-
grafton, and pointed out that the data for the
death rate among these people are at present in
sufficient. Mr.. Along, when asked about the i'm
migration of Chinese women, stated that he did
not think desirable class could be obtained. Mr..
Phuger advocated that more money should be
spent in bringing in good class of Europeans.
We learn from facts stated at the meeting that
1916 immigrants are expected within the next
six or eight months, and that of these 1,750 are
Cinnamon.
are very sorry for this, should have liked to
hear the various views of gentlemen who are
for and against this scheme.
We are glad to see that the advance system was
noticed. Mr.. Atherton said that Mr. Austin had
set his face against the system in toto. 1t only
requires little unanimity among the planters and
the thing would be put down entirely.
We heard that only two South Sea Islanders had
asked for & passage home and that when these
found there was no one else going down they
elected TO stay in Hawaii mel.
Our neighbor the AdrertiSsr comments upon the
fact that Captain Whalley Nicholson was not
specially invited to attend the meeting The firm
upon whose land the gallant Captain intends to
plant was invited. and the Captains agents were
requested to invite any of their clients they
thought fit We cannot see how Captain Nichol-
son could expect to be invited in his capacity of
Secretary for an Association which has at present
no existence. AS soon as the gentleman is duly
elected Secretary of an acknowledged and proper
ly-organiZed Planters Association, he will no
doubt receive the full recognition from the Board
OF immigration which his position entities him to.
