A VERY virulent type of smallpox has
been developed at Honolulu, Sandwich
islands, and the authorities admit their
inability to control it. Neither quaran-
tine nor vaccination seems to stop its
progress. Up to the middle of last
month there were 655 cases, of which
23I, or about 35 per cent, havo resulted
fatally. The San Francisco papers,
which publish frequent reports of the
progress of the disease, attribute its
spread and virulence to the practice OF
concealment on the part of the natives
and Chimes, who will not report case
to the authorities until the patient is
about to die on their hands, and subse-
quently make it appear that tho physi-
clans are responsible for his death. The
public schools and all places Of amuse-
ment are closed, but the churches are
kept open, in spite of the fact that they
have been the means of spreading the
cOntagion.
Work on the tunnel between England
and France progresses favorably ut the
rate of about twenty five feet per day of
ten hours, and has already been carried
to n distance OF above 800 yards. This
is i'll the shape Of driftway of about
seven feet in diameter, opening near the
mouth of the tunnel on the west side of
Abhott's Cliff. Commencing here, it
rms i'll IL line parallel with the line OF
railway and follows the natural dip of
the strata. The idea is to continue in
this way until depth Of some 200 feet
below the bed of the channel is reached.
1t is then confidently hoped by geolo-
gists that the character of the geological
formations will admit OF the engineering
operations being advanced in a direct
line or level, so us to allow of corres-
ponding rise on the other side Of the
channel.

THIS is an Ohio improvement. Frank
Bush aud his wife, of Clarion, Ohio,
agreed at their marriage that If any
quarrel ever arose between them IL
should be left to the decision OF three
referees. Mrs. Bush lately visited her
mother and refused to return home.
The case WAS fully presented to tho ref
erees, who decided that the wife was
wrong and must go back to her hus-
band. They also voted to censure the
mother-in-law. The wife submitted,
and harmony once more reigns In the
Bush family, but the mother-in-law is
pretty mad yet Mt those referees. But
this method is certainly preferable to
the customary legal one, more inexpen-
sive, less scandalous, and altogether
more satisfactory in its results.

some time ago for the attempted MUIR
der of his brother-in-law, is reported to
be dying at Chicago. Her career and
surroundings are among the most re-

Northwest. She has achieved wide
notoriety as tho mother of whole fami-
ly of burglars, shop-lifters and profess
sional thieves. She has lived in Chicago
many years, and probably from no place

Scorr rode fifty miles, in New Mexico

SCOTT rode fifty miles, in New Mexico,
to oblige a friend by numbering Dono-
van. He found Donovan in saloon,
gained an introduction, and sat down to
play an ostensibly amicable game OF
cards. But Donovan was an observant
man, and no saw that his companion was
more excited than the game warranted ;
so he slyly drew his revolver, cooked it,
and laid it across his knees under the
table. Consequently when Scott cried,
GIVE come here to kill you," and at
tempted to shoot, he received a death
wound instead of giving one.
