The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1881-01-05

During the recent campaign several young DEM
ocrats employed by a large manufacturing com
pany in Waterbury, Conn. chalked g '329' on every
barrel, stairway, door, fence and outhouse con-
nected with the establishment. The Superintend-
ent, an ardent Republican, said nothing about 1t
at the time but allowed the foolish fellows to use
the chalk with impunity. He took pains, however,
to find out who were engaged in this species of po-
litical arithmetic. One morning recently he went
to the shop called out the names of all who had a
hand in the figuring, and ordered them to form in
line on the floor, as he was going to organize
broom brigade. He armed them with brooms,
buckets cloths and scrubbing brushes, telling them
to help him celebrate Garfield's election. He ap-
pointed himself captain and told them they were
now to march and wash out all the dirty work
they had been reveling in for the past SIX weeks.
Some of the marking came off hard, and with the
cold water and sand they were compelled to use,
and the two hours hard work under strict disci-
pline, the chalk campaign in at least one factory
came TO an end.

The Romantic Story Of John Burnside.
The will of the late John Burnside, of

The will of the late John Burnside, of
New Orleans, who left an estate valued
at $5, OOO, 900, has finally been discover
ed. 1t bears date of 1857, and names
Oliver Bierne as residuary legatee. Be-
quests amounting to S5O0,000 are made
to members of the firm of McStea 4
Valve, and to various charitable institu-
tions in New Orleans. There seems to
be considerable of a romance connected
with Mr.. Burnside's history. A good
many years ago Andrew Bierne, An Irish
man, was the capitalist of the Greenbrier
region in Virginia. According to the
gossips, one afternoon as he was riding,
and had stopped to water his horse at a
little brrok, he found an infant boy,
carefully wrapped up, asleep on a bed
of rushes. Quite startled at the sight,
after riding around and hallooing half
an hour for the owners of the child,
night approaching, and wolves being
numerous in the forest, he took the child
and carried it to his house, where he
placed it under the care of his favorite
attendants, John and wife. The parents
never turned up, and in due time the boy
was named John Burnside-aname sug-
gested by the place where he was found
by the side of burn or brook, word
common in Scotland and in the north of
Ireland.
The boy grew well, and in due time
became the supervising clerk of Mr..
Bierne's many stores. From his bust
ness exactitude and industry he was a
great favorite with Mr.. Bierne, but with
few others. He was taciturn, reserved,
and morose, even when young man.
But his business habits and talents rec
commended him, and Mr.. Bierne estab-
lished him in New Orleans with his son,
Oliver Biernc, where his characteristics
remained as they were in earl y life. He
had no social feeling, ho sympathy. no
public spirit, but was pre-eminently sue
cessful in trade.
Whether this story be true or not, Mr..
Bierne never denied it. One thing is
certain, the deceased never conversed,
nor would permit any one to converse
with him, about his orr gin Or birthplace.
One of his fellow clerks with Mr.. Bierne,
Andrew Mennis (brother of the late
Hon. Callohill Mennis, of Bedford Coun-
ty, Va.D called on Mr.. Burnside when
in the zenith of his mercantile glory in
New Orleans, was kindly received, but
happening to recur to the story of his
birth, and contrasting it with his great
success, Mr.. Burnside flew into rage,
jumped up from the table, and never
spoke to him afterward.
During the war Mr.. Burnside re-
manned in Louisiana, and when his great
caop of sugar was seized by Gen. Butler,
got it all back on the plea of being a
British subject.
The finding Of the will gives color to
the story of his babyhood. 1t is thought
that there will be a big legal fight over
the will by persons claiming to be rela.

l Unique Marriage Announcement.

Mr.. REYNOLDS, of Louisville, married
Miss Matte Bruce, Wednesday night,
and sailed for Europe Saturday. He is
said by the reporter of the Courier-Jonr-
nal to have "only met Miss Bruce q
few months ago, but recognized his
fate," and the Doctor, though only
thirty-nine years Of age, holds highrank
in his profession, while "the bride
looked altogether lovely, and in her
queenly bearing she walked in beauty
like the night of cloudless chimes and
starry Skies"
The following, reproduced by the
Courver.Journal, is q curious bit of liter
AZURE in this connection:
A CHEERFUL AUTOBITUARy.
In the Louisville Medical Herald of
July the editor, who figures as best man,
publishes the following:
. "The relations Of an editor with those
to whom he is accustomed to send
monthly messages of cheer and counsel
become, in time, very tender, and surely
justify a generous personal confidence.
So we beg our readers to give us their
confidence while we speak for a moment
Of home affairs:
ITO our readers: Know ye that the
life of q widower is not happy one.
The editor of the Herald, after much re-
Election, has resign the burden of wild
owerhood. He has been fortunate
enough to negotiate life partnership
which will hereafter enable him to sit
upon the editorial tripod in blissful
ignorance of the number of garments on
the washing list for the current week,
and the number of pieces missing. He
shall henceforth be stranger to the
business details of housekeeping. No
more shall he spy the cobweb suspended
from the ceiling; no more shall he at
tempt to boss the seamstress and give
instructions to the cook; no more shall
he have to sit at the hotel dining liable,
waiting an hour for cup of coffee.
Per contra, life shall be worth living.
The fires of the domestic happiness shall
be rckindled upon the hearthstone. The
orphan children shall again have the
care and the influence of kind and gen
tie mother. The benign influences of
the home circle shall soon again irradi-
ate the atmosphere of this long desolat-
ed household. Joy shall sit at the
threshold so long obscured by the gloom
of affliction. The Herald, too, shall
have new life. It shall bud and bios.
som forth into the full fruitage of an un-
precedented popularity in the sacred
precincts of the scientific world. Whilst
it shall not be every mans friend, it
shall be no mans enemy. Whilst its
independence shall never be questioned,
its war department is hereafter and for
ever abolished. Its presiding genius
shall be peace and good will to all man
kind." The official seal and stamp shall
be affixed on the 18th of July, in Cow
ington, Ky. The editor and his bride
have engaged passage on the steamship
Lord Cough and will sail from Philadel-
phia on the lGth Of July, to return about
the middle of September" ..
