WE that the movement of cooper
alton talked of some time ago, will not be
allowed to die out. Intelligent co-opera-
ton is the secret of so much success in the
present march of the world. We were
strongly impressed with the value of CO.
operation whilst visiting recently tho rice
fields in The vicinity of our city. We no.
ticed little red and white flags. and
on enquiry learned that these were
flags of different Chinese computes,
who had cultivated hitherto worthless
swamps with great success. How i~lItelli-
gently these people subordinate theirindi-
vidual views or schemes to a co:Amon
cause; and unite to buy or lease land. and
carry on large cultures. An indiv idual
may perish upon an arid plain, or in an
impossible swamp; but a company of men
can combat with the the difficulties of the
situation, and win fortune out of what
would be ruin to the unaided man.
And cooperation intelligently devised,
must carry success with it in every indus
trial enterprise. This subject is now earn
estly commended to the native Hawaiian
mine in the native paper Elele PoakoIu.
But let all take lessons from the wise CO.
operation of the Chinese.

To Tie Editor of the Pacific Commercial advertiser
DEAR SIR:

To The Editor of the Pacific Commercial advertiser:
DEAR SIR:
have deemed it prudent for some time past
to pass in silence cruel onslaughts made against
my character, by certain INSCRIPTIONS individu-
ais, in the vain hope that my humble energies to
forward the interests of my fellow-citizens would
open their eyes and hearts at least to do me
justice; but in this 1 am disappointed. These
slanderers have, of late, become entirely void of
scruple in ~vilifying me; hence, L am forced to
apply to my venerable Bishop to defend me. 1
have read that the blood of the martyr is the
seed of the faith, and, in my own experience, 1
know that persecution is the fertile soil in which
that faith is cultivated and fructifes. Let those
vilifers come on, one and all, and they will
honor me in a way 1 never expected, by placing
me-though the least and most unwOrthy-on
the list of the prosecuted of Christ's Church
Militant.
Having been warned by a friend that the gen.
tlemen to whom 1 refer have written to New
Zealand and elsewhere to enquire into my ante
cedents, 1 beg leave to help them in their zeal
by sending You Bishop Maigret's letter for pub
LEGATION.
am, Dear Sir,
Your Obedient Servant,
w. J. LARKIN.

WE publish with regret letters received
at the hands of Rev. Father Larkin. We
regret that a Jealous and faithful worker
for the best welfare of the community
should be the object ofany especial calumny.
But a few months ago, not yet a year, since
Father Larkin came among us, and under
took the establishment of an institution
now known as st. Louis College. He made
an earnest appeal to our business men, for
assistance in his enterprise, and he received
a generous response. He bargained for a
fine property, and erected an admirable and
spacious building; and although his collec-
ton was but a small per centage of the cost
of the property, his Bishop came forward
and supplied all the necessary cash to
complete the purchase. TIL object of the
institution, to provide a practical and
technical education for Hawaiian youths
in the acquisition of useful arts as we'll as
letters, has been highly approved OF
by His Majesty the King, and a multitude
of his people. Therefore we sincerely regret
that it is necessary to publish anything, as
a vindication of the character, and in de-
Tense of the valuable labors of a faithful
working clergyman and public instructor,
like Father Larkin.

Cards Ina November.

When Mr.. Topnoody came home the
other night he noticed that his wife was
so unusually polite and nice that he
wondered if he ehadn't got into the wrong
house. After supper she called him of
upstairs aud said:
"Mr. TOpnoody, / have a serions
matter to present to you this evening,
and st the same time one not unmiXed
with JOY"
"Great C@sar!" replied Mr.. T.,
what's the matter? Have L forgotten
anything?",
"No, not that, Topnoody."
"Well, then, be quick, and tell me
what's come unfastened"
why, Topnoody, you see our eldest
daughter IL just twenty now, and she
told me that Mr.. Jones the rich mer-
chants son. had asked her to be his
wife, and you know they love each other
and want us to agree to it. What do
you say, Mr.. Topnoody?" and his wife
looked pleased all over Mt the fine pros
pect. But Topnoody was grave.
81 see, Mrs. Topnoody, but after all
your experience in the married life with
me, and your evident sorrows of house
keeping and all that, l am surprised
that you should be willing to let your
daughter get in the same box"
"Pshaw, TOpnoody," answered his
wife, bracing up md getting mad.
"don't be fool. The cases are not
similar My daughter is marrying Mr..
Jones, while married Topnoody. |
should think you could see the differ
ence at once without making such a
foolish suggestion TO me. Now, if l
were"
"Hold on" broke in Topnoody, 81
grasp it; go and tell the glrl to marry
just as often as she pleases and who she
pleases. Jones is getting Topnoody
anyhow, and | guess the reputation of
the family will be kept up" The cards
will be issued in November.

Good Rules.

There was once q man and woman
who planned TO go and spend day at
friends house, which was some miles
distant from their own. So one pleas
ant morning they started out to make
the visit, but they had not gone far be-
fore the woman remembered q bridge
they had to cross which was very old
and was SAID not to he safe, and she began
to worry about it.
What shall we do about that bridge?'
she said TO her husband. Il shall never
dare to go overit, and we can't get ac-
ross the river i'll any other way.
"Oh, said the man, Il forgot that
bridget 1t is bad place; suppose it
should break through and We should
fall into the water and got drowned?"
OR even, said his wife, suppose you
should step on Iotten plank and break
your leg, what would become of me and
the baby?"
81 don't know" said the man, "what
would become of any of us, for / could
not work and we should all starve to
death"
So they went on worrying and worry
ing, till they got to the bridge: when
10, and behold! they saw that since they
had been there last a new bridge had
been built, and they crossed over it
III safety, and found that they might
have saved themselves all their ankle
ty.
Now that is just what the proverb
means. "Never waste your worry on
what you think may possibly be going
to happen" Don't think. ooh, suppose
1t should rain to morrow so that can't
go Quit" or What should do if l
should have a headache on the day of
the Party?" Half the time the trou-
bles we look for do not come, and it is
never worth while to waste the hours in
worrying.

John PIoughman's Proverbs.

Never offer looking-glass to blind
mar.
If a man is so proud that he will not
see his faults, he will only quarrel with
you for pointing them out to HIM.
Many preachers are good tailors spoil
ed and capital shoemakers turned out of
their proper calling.
1t is not wise to aim at impossibilities;
it is waste of powder to fire at the man
in the moon.
Give your money to fools sooner than
let rogues wheedle you out Off
Men willingly pour water into full
tub, and give fedsts to those who are
not hungry, because they look to have
as good or better in return.
To see plum pudding in the moon is a
far more cheerful habit than oroaking at
everything like two-legged frog.
Never say die until you are dead, and
then it's no use so let it alone.
He pulls long rope whip waits for an
others death.
He that waits for dead mems shoes
may long go barefoot.
Men who strike in their anger gener-
ally miss the mark.
No mans lot is fully known till he is
dead.
All the world will beat the man whom
fortune buffets.
When a mans coat is threadhare it is
an easy thing to pick hole in it.

Timber and Rents.

1t is predicted that if the destruction Of
timber around the great lakes goes on as it
has for the past ten years, 1890 will see
an advance in the price of timber of 100
per cent. and consequent rise in rents of
80 per cent. Dearer timber is probably
close at hand, although the supplies in
Washington Territory may prevent this;
but 1t is a great mistake TO suppose that
rents will advance IN even half the proper
ton that timber will. Year by year an
equal space of house room takes proper
tionally lesss timber, partly because less is
used in frame houses, and In part because
more houses are built of brick and stone
and iron. The experience of Great Brit
ain shows how little rents are dependent
on timber. The real factor in houserent
is rohm, not material. CrowdIng popu-
lation into cities raises rents, unless the
available space for houses is increased, and
the living radius of city was never larger
than to- day.

an open window. On, on he went to
his death.
The horse leaped high in the air Us he
went up the last steep ascent. The
fierce salt wind blew III Johns nostrils !;
the sea thundered in his ears.
'She loves him" be thought, "and l
would not bring suffering Oh her. He

The horse gave shrill shrek as they
went over; but John Esmond's lips were
tightly shut.
As the buggy overturned at the edge,
the instinct of diver-for he had been
skilled swimmer from his boyhood-
made him place his hands palm to palm
and extend them before him, while his
feet unconsciously repulsed the carriage
by quick motion Goldie and Darrell
from the cottage, saw all disappear to-
gether.
He never knew who came to his res
cue. A rush, n crash, darkness, and
then, for long month, the days and
nights were all as one to John Esmond.
But when at last, consciousness came,
he found Goldie and her father attend
ing him.
"The crisis is past; he will recover
with care, said the physician.
A warm white chamber was about
him; Goldies cheek was so near him he
could have kissed her had he strength.
By-and-by he had strength, and then
he drew the tender cheek to his lips.
"You would not be SO kind, Goldie, if
you did not love me-"
"No," she sobbed, creeping worn and
weak, to his breast; eff you had died 1
should have died, too, John.
He told her all.
"I wish Fawdon Darrell no harm, but
l could not have spared you," she said.
"And you know now how l love You,

Lemonade.

We are assured that it is becoming
the polite thing to set forth lemonade
for the refreshment cf callers ut many
of our fine residences. A very tasteful
arrangement in the form ola miniature
sideboard, or something of that nature,
contains the glasses, the sugar and the
supply of fragrant lemons; also hand
some appliances for cutting and squeez-
ing the lemon, etc. Each guest is ten
dered glass freshly made, and the
quality of the beverage equals the
beauty of the arrangements for its oom-
pounding. We are glad this is becom-
ing the proper thing to do, for it is the
most sensible thing which has OF late
been reported as fashionable. The juice
of the lemon is as far more healthful than
many drinks, and if the custom becomes
prevalent, it will result in general bodily
well being. More than this, it will
largely increase the loc demand for
good lemons, and thus make profitable
the plantations of the improved lemons
which are now being mAda.

Garfield's Diary.

One of the habits of the President for
many yeazs was the writing of private
,iiary, and he has left a number of volumes,
which are about six by eight inches in size.
He did most of the writing in these HIM
self, though when very busy he dictated
the entries TO the secretary. The last en-
try he made himself the night before he
was shot. Under the date of July 1st is
written, Brown returned to-day and af-
ter a few more notes were the last words,
"Cousin Cordella died to day. Retired at
II o'clock" 1t will be remembered that
Private Secretary Brown returned from
Europe the night before the President was
shot. The cousin Cordella spoken of was
Mrs. Arnold, who was fatally injured by
the accident in which his uncle, Thomas
Garfield, was killed near Cleveland. Mar
shal Henry says the late President has left
several boxes full of papers and documents,
which will probably be examined some
day and edited for publication

The Late President.

The affairs relating to the estate of the
late President will shortly be turned over
to Trustees that will be appointed. ALI
expenses incurred during the sickness OF
the President will be regarded as debts OF
the estate, and the bills will be called for
by the Trustees. If Congress so desires,
schedule of the bills will be furnished for
any action that they may see fit to take.
If any appropriation is made covering the
expense incurred, the estate will be relieved
from the payment. The Trustees will pro-
ceed on the theory, which is perfectly
correct one, that these expenses are private
debts, and not an indebtness OF the Gov
ernment. What part Congress may see fit
to assume is, of course, not known. Mr..
J. Stanley Brown says that ne has no idea
If what the entire expenses of the sickness
of the President will amount to. 30 far
40 bills have been presented, and probably
hey will not be until the Trustees call for
them. He says that he left Mrs. Garfield
in good health, and making preparations to
superintcnd the education of her children

An Ancient Relic.

Mr.. Brown, of jamestown, New York,
has an old swivel, of English make, bear
ing the British coat of arms, which Is
known to be over 100 years old, and
which is curiosity indeed. 1t is of
bronze metal, fifteen inches long, two
and a half inches in diameter at the
breech, one and one-quarter at the muZ-
zle, and has history that is worthy OF
note. 1t was taken from the British
frigate Scraps by the famous Captain
John Paul Jones, of the American man
of-war Bon Homme Richard, i'll the ia
nous naval engagement on September
%, 1779. John Paul Jones was the
victor, capturing the British fleet of
three vessels with their crews. This
victory gave Capt. Jones great eclat
throughout the world, and established
the valor of American seamen. This
swivel was among the arms captured,
It bears the marks of hard usage, but is
still sound. Itwas given to Mr.. Brown
by Mr.. James King, of Kings Landing,
Ind, who received it in 1885 from the
father of the rebel Gen. Buckner, to
whom it had descended from his grand
father, who was a participant i'll the
John Paul Jones fight on the American
side. 1t will never hereafter shoot any
but Union powder.

Vegetable Hacking

The "Shoeblack Plant" is said to be
the name popularly given to a species
of Hibiscus growing in New South
Wales, and remarkable for the snowy
appearance of its scarlet flowers. Grow
ing freely in almost any kind of soil, the
plant is frequently cultivated for the
flowers, which, when dry, are used as a
substitute for blacking. The flowers
contain large proportion of mucilagi-
nous juice, which, when evenly PIP ed,
gives a glossy, varnish-like appearance,
which is said perfectly to replace ordi-
nary blacking, with the advantage that
it is cleanly in use and an be applied in
a few moments. Four or five flowers,
with the anthers and polleen removed,
are required for each boot. and a polish
ing brush may be applied afterward, if
desired A few plants nf the Hibiscus
rosa sinensis growing in the garden
would remove one of the minor disad-
vanta9es of day in the country, where
the roads are dusty and Lee and Bxby
are tlmost unknown. Chinese ladies
use the Juice of the flowers for dyeing
their hair and eyebrows. In Java the
flowers are really used for backing shoes.
The plant is a native of India, China and
other parts of Asia. 1t would be in
teresting to ascertain, to what extent, if
any, the Althea, or Hibiscus Syriaca,
and the Swamp Rose Mallow, another
member of the Hibiscus family, possess
the same property.
