- In 1868. a company of japanese emf
grants numbering 1850 which six were women
arrived in these islands. In the latter part OF
that year, Commissioners from Japan arrived,
who represented TO our Government that some OF
these people had been induced to leave home
through Misrepresentation and forty were
selected to return to Japan. But it was with
difficulty that these people could be induced to
leave. Four of the number two men with
their wives had been engaged on Lanai. And
they very reluctantly obeyed the order to return.
We often afterwards heard from them at their
home in Yokohama; and we feel assured from
their account, that all those forty returning
Japanese carried back Il very pleasant account of
the kind and generous treatment they had
received in these islands; and this account has
no doubt had its effect upon the reception of the
King.
"a A case of interest to sporting men in this
community, and also to those who have conscien-
tious objections to horse racing and similar
amusements, was heard on Wednesday before
Mr.. Justice McCully and a jury. Mr.. Macfar-
lane and Mr.. H. F. Agnew each put $500 into
the hands of Mr.. A. McWayne as stakes on a
trotting race which came off some months ago
at Kapiolani Park. Mr.. Agnew believing that
the decision of the Judges in the matter was not
in accordance with the acknowledged rules of
racing, protested against their decision which
made him the loser of the stakes. The protest
was not sustained by the Judges but Mr.. Agnew
was not convinced. Finally he sued the stake
holder for a return of his money, on the ground
that betting on horse races is an illegal transac-
ton, and that he is therefore entitled to reclaim
his money if circumstances lead him to feel that
it is no longer a : debt of honor" Mr.. Preston
on behalf of the plaintiff sought to bring horse
racing within the meaning of the words or any
other game which are to be found in the first
line of Chap. 80 of the Penal Code. This was
certainly trying to make game of a great national
sport in which Americans, Englishmen, French
men, and who knows how many other nations
take pride and delight and the learned counsel
met with that rebuff which naturally falls to the
lot of the man who speaks evil of the national
idols. Mr.. w. c. Jones appeared for the
defense and brought forth an array of authorities
as to the liability of the stakeholder to pay over
stakes to the declared winner. Neither Judge
nor jury seemed disposed to look upon horse
racing as "any other game and the verdict
was for the defendant.

The Perfumes Used by the Egyptians.

The consumption of essences must
have been enormous at the highest tide
of Egyptian splendor, for the people
were actually enjoined to perfume
themselves on Fridays; corpses were
anointed with aromatic essences; sher-
bets and sweetmeats were favored with
fine vegetable extracts; perfumes filled
the air in every well-to-do house, and
saturated the letters and presents
which were constantly being exchanged.
The ladies bathed in perfumed water,
the men used scented oils for the hair,
and both made use of red, yellow and
green soap.
During great festivals incense was
burned in all the streets, so that even
the poorest might be RECALLED by the
mere act of breathing. Nor was there
any lack of narcotics. The mode of
preparing opium, introduced from
Syoot, in Upper Egypt, was well known,
and the Sultan Beybars promulgated
several edicts prohibiting the use of
hasheesh, Supplying and Intoxicating
preparation of Indian hemp. In spite
of the Prophets prohibition, the juice
of the grape continued TO be INDUCED
in. Alcohol Gas its name indicates) is
an Arab discovery, and beer-the
favorite beverage of the ancient Egyp-
tians-was also brewed and drank un-
der the Caliphs.
Many jovial song in praise of wine
was sung by Arab poets. and in early
times many Arabs would by no means
admit that the Prophet had forbidden
its use. In an old MS. copy of THAI
alibi it is said. ''The Prophet--may

The Snake River Falls.

For two or three miles abov Sho-
shone Falls the river flows through i'm
mense chasms. with walls on eitler side
hundreds of feet high. The liver is
full of rapids for miles, the descent be-
ing SO great. At the upper shoshone
Falls, known as Twin or Littlet alls, the
river is divided by an island. and the
two streams rush over the prcipice and
fall into the pool 175 feet fellow. AS
viewed from the bluffs, hundreds of feet
above. the sight is grand, and from be-
low there is still more to admire and to
awe the visitor. Some fouror five miles
down the river and we come to the great
falls, where the entire rivei descends in
one sheet 2l0 feet. W. remember
roaming around Niagara Falls, the rap
ids and other places of interest for sew
eral DAYS once, and with al that there
is to admire and excite or wonder,
there is as much, if not more to interest
the visitor to this portion of Shake River,
and should this place be connected by
railway with the outside void this will
become a great resort for travellers.
Some thirty or forty miles down stream
is Solomon Falls, extending quite dis
lance. The greatest of these falls is only
about twenty feet, but the brms and
the great number of the fallsand cas-
cades make it very beautiful But a
short distance above these falls is the
most remarkable sight we have ever
seen. In the high bluffs along the river
there issue numerous great springs,
the waters of which fall over the rocks
and are lashed to silvery streams and
spray in their descent. The first O

The paper was delivered to the Court
and then to Mr.. Mills.

shaking her fan at Mrs. Heilman, who
laughed scornfully.
Then Mr.. Hyatt, the lawyer, got into
a loud alteration with witness named
Murray, during which the witness chal-
lenged him to come outside and fight,
and the lawyer answered that he would
accommodate him after adjournment OF
court. This was succeeded by an ex-
change of compliments about Miss
Green's age and her habits of life, and
by her retorts on Mrs. Heilman, who
replied, 80, you wretch, could tear
you in pieces"

Miss Green, firmly, after having been
compelled to tell some of her residences.

There is silence that saith, "Ah me!
There is silence that nothing saith;
One the silence of life forlorn,
One the silence of death.
One is, and the other shall be.
One we know and have known for long,
One we know not, but we shall know,
All we who have ever been born;
Even so, be it So
There is silence, despite song.
Sowing day is silent day,
Resting night is silent night;
But whose reaps the ripened corn
Shall shout in his delight,
