The last number of the Southern Workman,
published by General Armstrong at the Hampton
Normal School, has plans and prospectus of the
new building be proposes to put up for Indian
girls. 1t is to be two stories high with an attic
and to cost $4,000. Each room is estimated at
$500, and the cost of furnishing S45 more. When
will some of ouI wealthy Hawaiian people put up
such school for Hawaiian girlss Kawaiahao
Seminary has had grant of S20 600 from the Board
of Education, and liberal donation of 50 $50
from friend In the United States. But more
money could be spent to advantage in putting up
such building Hawaiian girls ought 10 have. If
they are to be trained to be suitable mothers for
the future Hawaiian race.

Wants an Explanation.

Mn. ED1roR:-I noticed in the Local Items
Column" of the Press of last week that "the
steam-roller was at work on the newly metalled
road" etc, and in the Shipping News Column I"
"that the D. c. Murray is Just out of dock newly
metalled," !" ETC., etc.
Webster who is considered good authority with
some, defines metal " a substance having pecu-
liar luster, insoluble in water good conductor of
heat and electricity etc. Now l would like to
know if the roads are being coppered, or if the
D. c. Murray has had rocks put on her bottom, or
ree rersa, ieat does it mean if stone is metal,
what is copper, etc.
If the roads are being coppered, 1 hope the ring
has nothing to do with it.

VIZ are glad TO see diIninution in the number
OF deaths from small-pox-14 this week against p
last,-but the number Of cases has maintained its
average Of 4 a day. The authorities have kept up
their efforts to remove every one TO the reef, and
have succeeded so far, that on Monday evening
there was only one house where's guard had to be
maintained at government expense and three
houses where guards were paid by the inmates. If
this system can only be kept up, we believe the
smallpox will soon be put an end to. We notice
among the cases this week n foreigner.

We have interviewed the Deputy Attorney Cen
eTal, Mr. w. o. Smith, who informed us that the
statement made in the P. c. Adreyfiser, crediting
him with saying that the law of the country does
not allow an ordinary summons to issue against
policeman on the complaint of citizen without
the consent of himself or of the Marshal is
Misrepresentation Mr.. Smith said that Mr.
Webb spoke to him one day last week as he was
about to leave the AdreTfiSer Office and asked
where the power lay to deny that criminal prose
cution should be brought. He replied that the
Attorney General was responsible for criminal
prosecutions, and had the power to decline to
bring such action, and that his Deputy and
any one representing him had such power. That
the several Sherifs acted to an extent District
Attorneys, and also the Deputy Marshal. And
though there was such power that it was rarely
exercised. But in cases where criminal process
was sought to be used merely for personal ends,
maliciously, or where there was not evidence to
Justify the prosecution the Attorney General
could refuse to prosecute. That if there was no
restriction as TO the right to bring criminal
actions, and every angry or ignorant man could
use the process as he chose that the Courts would
be overrun with frivolous charges. On inquiring
further we learned that the case of Luproil TO
which allusion was made, was an action informal
ly brought against Luproil for an assault said to
have been committed by him on n Chinaman.
The case was discontinued and brought again the
same day in proper manner, when he was found
guilty and fined.

Now THAT Norwegian immigration has been
fairly inaugurated it behooves all parties inter
ested in the movement to secure for this new
element of the population all possible advantages
if we to derive from them the greatest possible
advantage. The Hawaiian Board, acting in con-
currence with some of the planters on Maui has
sent to Norway for a pastor, and it is hoped a
Church building will be erected and residence
provided by the time of his arrival The Board of
Education should also try to do something for the
benefit of this people in the elements of English
education 1t is interesting to know that Norway
has possessed rigorous system of compulsory
education since 1875, and illiteracy proper in
ability TO read disappeared there more than
century ago. According to the present school
laws of Norway, passed in 1860, every child is
under obligation to attend school for eight con-
secutive years in the country, and nine in the
cities Instruction is given gratis in reading, in
Christian knowledge, geography. history, the
elements of the natural sciences, writing, arithme
tic, and singing obligatory studies and at the
option of the local school boards, gymnastics or
needlework and military exercises. Children of
the poor must, if necessary, be supplied with
school books, and even clothed and fed at public
expense in order that they may attend school
regularly. In 1874. out of 26S,715 Norwegian
children only about 1850 chiefly abnormal child
ren, frequented no school, public private.''-

Col. Mcclure in the South.
From the Memphis Avalanche.

Editor Mcclure, of the Philadel-
phia Times, Yields facile pen, and
in the art of constructing a highly
seasoned romance of the Munchausen
order he may fairly be accounted a
brilliant success. The Chattanooga
Times says of his Nashville letter
that there is scarcely one correct
statement of fact in it. The Times
says:
We suppose portions of his letters
are of some value, as presenting the
general aspects of southern society.
But we regret to have to say that
whatever in these communications is
fair and accurate is SO mixed with
errors in the attempt to give COM
monty known facts, that it may be
fairly questioned whether they
should be classed as faulty pic
lures or as gloss caricatures. 1t is
not worth while to specify the
errors in the series. The Nashville
letter probably stands upon par
with the rest. There is scarcely a
correct statement of fact in it. r
* Col. Mcclure is even so badly
'off in his geography as to attempt
to make the Tennessee river run
through the capital of Tennessee
He is wrong, by several years, in the
nooet ;n-.,o ,tant of bis dabos- He Sc
rious1y misstates the alAounts OF the
state debt. He puts Brownlow down
as denouncing and opposing Sente1
when he ran for governor, when the
reverse was the fact. In short, the
entire portion of this long letter de-
voted to statistical and political az
fairs in this state is grotesquely er'
roneous, absurdly incorrect in almos'
every particular. The next time
Col. Mcclure comes south he should
stay at home and send some young
| and ambitious man who is no
weighed down with too much 'na
tional reputation one who has hi
spurs to win.
