DANvILLE, VA, May 20.-The Council OF
the Episcopal Church was engaged nearly
the whole session here to-day in discussing
certain proposed amendments to the canons
OF the Church; among them one against
promiscuous round.dancing. After pro-
ionged discussion the further consideration
of the subject was postponed until the next
Council. The Council, by resolution, agreed
to meet next year at Norfolk, and will pro-
badly adjourn tomorrow.

Kohala Correspondence.

During the past two weeks our district has
been favored with more rain than we had for
several months previous. All the young cane is
coming along very well, though many are now
availing themselves of the present rains to re-
plant. The first plant coming up in many fields
Is rather poor, on account of the dry weather.
The last of the crop for 1881 was finished by
the Hawi mill last week. Mr.. Hind began yes
terday on new of 1882. The cane being ground
is his own, and looks well they cannot. how
ever, go on hauling, rs the roads are simply
awful.
Our auctioneer (Mr. Hayselden), by order of
Il. Hackfeld * Co, sold yesterday, 9th Dec,
the hull, spars, anchors, chains, &c, of the
wrecked barque Jenny Pitts, at MahuRona, the
whole realizing S42S-was knocked down to
S. G.. Wilder & Co. The wrecked vessel seems
to be lying very comfortably in about ~
fathoms of water alongside of the shore rocks.
The II. X. r. Company's locomotive the
g." hlnad got up steam for the first time on
Friday and. through the invitation of Hon. S.
G.. Wilder, Messrs. W. Phuger and T. J. Haysel-
den accompanied him on her while she made
her maiden or trial trip along the line for about
three miles. The rails are we'll laid, and the
run, though short, was pleasant and easy.
Ones experience on most new lines is that of
considerable jolting, NC, but the almost entire
absence of this unpleasantness proves how
thoroughly well the work has been done. The
Kinau Is a perfect model of beauty, and was
made in Philadelphia she ran at the rate of
about ~ miles an hour on the trip referred to.
Our Gracious Sovereign King Kalakaua has
been amongst us for a brief space, and left again.
During his short sojourn, we fatter ourselves
that he enjoyed himself hugely. The Kohala
Club gave him a right legal welcome they had
everything in perfect readiness for him on We'd
nesday, but, as you have heard, he did not
arrive till the Thursday. He was gracious
enough to drop in at the Club ION his way to
K~ahookano's), and was induced to remain till
IL pm, during which time an impromptu ball
was gotten up, the King himself dancing with
Mrs. King, sister of our worthy DR.. Thompson.
The following evening the Kohala Club enter
tanned His Majesty at a ball and supper given at
the residence of Mr.. D.. r. Vida every arrange
ment was perfect, the King taking out Mrs.
Vida in the first quadrille, which was formed of
four couples. This joyous gathering in his
honor was concluded about 3 am.
Our new Police Magistrate (Mr. H. Johnson)
is the very man for the position he has been
chosen to fill.

Mr.. Porter, the energetic Manager of the
Hawaiian Commercial Pacific Company's
large interests on Maui, has almost en-
tIrely recovered from his painful accident.
the loss OF his right hand he feels keenIv'
put Is thankful that his life was spared he
hau a pretty sharp call, however, and the
shock he received would probably have
killed even a robust man, who had not the
PERSONAL nerve and indomitable will OF
ar. Porter, which sustained him through
the suffering he has had TO bear.
MT. Porter's experience in this accident
ought 10 be a warning TO all who have any,
thlng To do with dangerous explosives of
tue class 10 which giant powder" belongs.
Several accidents TO those who were using
IL Ior legitimate or illegitimate purposes
hau previously occurred, some of them fatal
IN their results, n all of a serious charac-
Ter. Mr.. Porter's impression. before his re-
cent awkward experience had convinced
nlLn 10 the contrary, was that such acct
dents always arise from want of precaution
on the part of the victims. He himself was
familiar with the use of the explosive and
thought he knew exactly how to use it with
SAFETY. For fishing with giant powder il is
usual TO have a fuse hat will burn about six
seconds, so that the powder may, after being
thrown, have time to sink TO the bottom Of
the water or near it. Before cutting off the
1use, Tor the charges he was about to use.
Mr.: Porter cut off a short length and burnt
II, Timing II by his watch. 1t took eight sec
onds to burn, and the fuses afterwards used
were OF the same length and cut off from
the same roll. The fuse through which the
accident happened appeared not to light
touched with the burning end of a
cigar; Mr.. Porter put his hand TO his
mouth to apply his cigar again to it when
all at once the powder exploded, the fuse
evidently having been faulty. P~recaution
could hardly go further h that taken by
Mr.. Porter and We are therefore bound to
believe that no care can altogether insure
US against accidents in the use ofso danger
Gus an explosive.

ket ?" was discussed. The results of the
discussion were that Philadelphia and
New York want their poultry dry packed
with entrails in and head and feet on,
and Boston must have them dry picked,
drawn, and heads and feet off. The
opinion that the boxes were best for ship
ping and that all animal heat must be
removed before packing was unanimous.
The topic "What Shall be Done to
Encourage Consumption of American
Cheese Among Americans " was next dis
cussed. Some delegates thought eli
matte influences and dietary habits had
much to do in consumption of cheese and
prevented any great consumption in
America as compared with European
countries. Others thought poor skim
milk cheese was the cause, and that if
full cream " ere only used at fair price
the consum ption would be greatly in
creased. A lively discussion on hard
cheese was had, and the conclusion
arrived atat once that the producer should
furnish go cd, pure, healthy article of
cheese, and the press should educate the
people into the fact that it was healthy
and nutrition ls article of food. The time
for holding the next annual convention
was changed to November 80 and De-
cember an 2, 1882, at Cedar Rapids.

FIying-Fish.
from Nature.1


l have watched fying-fsh repeatedly.
and have invariably seen them fly, OF
rather glide, over the surface of the sea,
and from one to two feet above it, rising
gently to the swell when there was no
wind, and occasionally turning to the
right or left without touching the water.
l do not say that when there is a breeze
the tail of the fish may not touch it, but
l think that, with the foam and spray of
the broken water, it would be very diff
cult to be sure of it, and, moreover, if
the tail was used the motion would be a
Jerking one. Mr.. Wallace speaks of
their rising and falling in the most
graceful MANNER" which although he
is referring to another species, ap-
plies to the North American form.

toral fins are kept well extended without
any motion, except, perhaps, as Mr..
Whitman, recent observer, says, Just
when they rise from the sea. He gives
800 to 1900 feet as the greatest distance
he has seen them fly, and about. 40 Sec
onds as the longest time out of the water.
BY what mechanical means they move
when out of the water is still to me a
mystery. I have never known the fly
ing fish to be pursued by other fish, nor
ever seen any bird near them; indeed,
few birds are ever seen far from the land

A Tooth Partnership.

Derrick Dodd tells of two toothless
sisters who agreed to receive New Years
calls in the same false teeth, one having
lost her own set. But the QUE who got
the teeth took mean advantage and
wouldn't be fair. About P. M. the de-
frauded partner OF the tooth contract
leaned over the railing and remarked in
o voice Of suppressed passion, "Ugh
g]ug muggity glug wug?' which, being
translated from the, language of the
tocthless, meant, "Are you coming with
those teeth?" ''Yes, i am-not," re-
piled the traitor, who, by this time, was
chock full Of chicken salad, claret punch
and impudence. "Mugger rug jug-ug
wig lug wug geree flip skee dug"
fiercely mumbled the other, which, boil
ed down into the normal tongue, meant.
g You, Maria Ann, if you don't bring
those teeth instantly, I'll come down and
scratch your hateful eyes out!'' eta
ia, " replied the hateful tooth monopo]i-
zer; better take nap and sleep it
off, At this point the ferocious one
made q grab for Maria Ann, and the. e
was fight that shook the house. The
teeth were recovered.

Watch Wound by Walking.

A watch which requires no winding
has been invented by Mr.. A. r. Won
Loehr, of Virginia. He has constructed
the mechanism on the same principal as
the pedometer. A weighted lever,
pivoted at one end, is kept in position
against the upper Of two banking pins
by long curved spring of such strength
that the motion of the body in walking is
sufficient to cause the lever to descend,
at each step Of the person carrying the
watch, to the lower bank pin. There is
rachetwheel with very fine teeth pivot

ed at the same centre as the weighted
lever, and fixed to the lever is a prawl
which engages with the wheel. This
prawl is made SO elastic that it takes UP
the strain produced when the main
spring is wound up. A train of gearing
connects the rachet-wheel with the
barrel-arbor, and there is prawlto pre-
vent any tendency of the ratchet to re-
verse it's action.
