entitled to the traditional jack-knife.
Take it, and be happy.

This week we desire to bring
to your especial notice a newly
imported article in the way Of
DRESS GOODS. It is called
Yeddo, and is in appearance very
much like striped or figured
satin. 1t is warranted to be all
cotton, and because of the choice
Icolors so harmoniously blended
also for its delicate texture it
makes the handsomest Summer
Dress you could desire. Samples
cheerfully forwarded.
While the Yeddo takes the eye
for its peculiar beauty, FoULEY,
(accent the last syllable), an all
wool fabric, is considered better,
as it is a lasting article. 1t is
rich and handsome as well as
durable, and the price moderate.
The colors are all plain-not a
figured one among the whole.
We have SPREADS and CouN-
TERPANEs, which are very reas-
in price for their size

A Nice Young Man.

On Sunday last a very well dressed and brilliant
gentleman by the name OF Landeschut went to the
store of j. l.. Lewiston & Co.. and desired to have
a check cashed of $50, drawn by West q Bryant,
Bodie. on the First National Gold Bank of San
Francisco. Mr.. Lewiston not knowing the man
demanded that he bring some one to recognize
him. The check was paid, and after a little it
was discovered that it was Il forgery. The man
who vouched for the forser has paid the amount
to MIR. Lewison, but the rascal is still at large.
A warrant is out for his arrest. and he is wanted
at Los Angeles on u similar charge. lie was
sent up from Sacramento five years ago for
forgery. and is a tough customer. He is a
married man and has a beautiful wife, through
whose pleadings the Court gave him the lightest
sentence under the law, when convicted before,
But her devotion to him ELECTS no gratitude
from him, as he had another woman with him
when he arrived here, and who is doubtless with
him still. 1t is to be hoped the officers will
succeed in discovering his whereabouts and secure
his punishment.-TTuckee Republican
We wonder If this be our S. S. Landeschut,
who endeavored to bride a public officer, to
enable him to accomplish a claLdestine marriage.
The neighboring coast sends us such nice young
men from time to time. However, an occasional
mistake in a stranger, should not make us churl-
ish in our hospitality, or destroy our confidence
in our fellow men but it Is always safe when
travellers Of the Landescuht, or Weller, or
Roberts, or Dinwiddie Dawson style ONE along,
without a reference. to be careful for a little
while, and not to open our domestic sanctuaries,
or purses to them right away.

Deputy Postmaster Dougherty Ca ned.

Consul II. w. Severance received by the last
Honolulu steamer an elegant cane, the gift from
the residents of Honolulu to Deputy Postmaster
W. G. Dougherty of this city, as an acknowledge
ment of the kind service rendered by that gentle
man for a considerable length of time, in forward
ing letters that would otherwise be detained for
short postage. Many Sandwich Island cores
pondents cannot learn that the postage rates are
six cents, and but for Mr.. Dougherty's disinterest-
ed kindness in furnishing the short postage from
his own pocket, many letters would not reach
their destination. Consul Severance in company
with a friend to see fair play, proceeded to the
Post Office Wednesday and deliberately caned
the Deputy Postmaster, much to his astonIsh-
ment. In the language of a bystander he ''caned
the Deputy Postmaster for licking so many let
ters.. The cane is an elegant stick of cocoanut
wood, with a gold head bearing an appropriate
inscription. Under the knob Of the cane is a
gold and blue enameled postage stamp with the
word ''short paid'' on a golden scroll. The
whole is an exceedingly neat piece of work and
reflects credit on Island e.-Sdn

The Mute

This subject represents q beautiful Italian girl, dressed in
her native costume. She is what is known as a Street Music
ian, and earns her livelihood by her violin and voice. She
has played and sang TO the crowd, and has quietly folded her
right arm over and around her violin, while her left arm is
outstreched, thus mutely appealing to the public to give her
what they may. 1t is a lovely picture. The girl, though only
a strolling player, is rarely beautiful-the sweet, beseeching
expression Of the face could but make the most sordid find the
way into their pockets, and give her a few pennies. 1t is one

Lepers in Syria

These men are poor lepers. You see they are
seated by the roadside they are begging, hold
ing out their hands one ut the end is beating
his breast, wailing for help. They have little tin
cans near them these are for people to drop
money in. The very dogs snarl at them they
are alone, no one goes near them. This is a true
picture of some lepers | saw in the Holy Land {;
it was at a villUge called Ramleh. That is Il very
pretty place; it is situated on the plain OF
Sharon. There is the beautiful plain, and be-
hind that, far away, are the mountains OF Israel.
These poor men are so afflicted they cannot enjoy
any Of the beauty. The view in that neighbor-
hood was SO lovely bad my tents placed that l
might paint a large picture but these poor
people came near, sat down, and kept crying out
all day long, Oh, sir good gentleman take
pity upon us poor lepers! Give us money, good
gentleman | gave them n lot of silver money,
and they went away. But the next day they did
the same, and though l gave them some money
again they would not go away, but kept calling
out just as before. Now, these people are not
allowed to live anywhere they like there are
certain villages appointed by law where they may
live, but in no others, and when any poor person
is taken with this leprosy, lie is driven out of his
own village, and made to live in one or other Of
the places appointed by law. People drive them
out with stones; they must leave their home and
all they possess, and live only with people diseas-
ed like themselves. " 1t is IL terrible death in
life" These poor people begging all day, as |
nave SalO, MADE me at last so nervous that L
could not go on with my work, so | had the tents
packed up and put on mules, and with my men
got on horses and galloped away. Another time,
walking with two friends in Jerusalem near the
place where the poor lepers live, they cam out
of their little houses, wailing, crying for money,
and holding up their hands for us to see, for this
terrible disease destroys the hands and feet and
otherwise d~isigures the poor sufferers. The
sight was SO horrible that we threw some silver
money on the ground and then ran away.-'Let-
