The Man with a Lizard.


Peter Lemen, Of sos Atwater street. who
was supposed to have lizard died at
O'Clock this morning, aud during this fore
noon post mortem examination was held
by DIR. Il, II. Ellis, assisted by Drs. G.. p.
Gaylord, j. G. Gilchrist aud G. Il. Foster.
The examination revealed tumor of dense
ilbrous substance, of the ducdenum, Or sec
ond stomach. This diseased mass did not
include more than four or five inches of the
intestine, but its effect was to almost COM
pletely close tho passage from his stomach
downwards, and thus prevent the digestion
and assimilation of food. He suffered but
little from pain, and his death resulted, as
it were from starvation. From man of
200 pounds weight he was reduced to go or
G5 pounds. 1t is due Mr.. Lemen to say
that the idea of his having lizard did not
originate with him, but with the "doctors."
Every botanic, clairvoyant and Indian
"doctor" who saw him at once pronounced
his trouble ga lizard"

That Wonderful lay Gould.

A New York correspondent says Has
Jay Gould sold himself to the devil?-
This question is SO natural that Mr.. Gould
cannot be surprised at its occurrence iu
various quarters. He certainly has accu-
mulated wealth with arapidity which justi-
fies almost any conclusion, not exceeding
that satanic assistance which is so common
in tradition. He admitted when under
cross examination in the Williams tele-
graph case that he owned 10000 shares of
Western Union and controlled 1000 miles
of railroad lines. Such is the confession of
man who in 1850 was peddling maps
through Delaware county. How strange
it also seems to hear such statement from
a little fellow who in statue and weight is
hardly more than fifteen year old boy
This case indeed stands unparalleled in the
records of wealth"

Whose Wife Was She 2

A.curious case recently came before the
Probate Court of Essex county. About 60
years ago woman married man who
went to sea and was reported lost. She
had a child by him. After eight years she
married again, and lived with her second
husband nearly fifty years and then died.
Meantime her first husband came TO light
forty years ago, hung around u little while
and then went to sea, apparently satisfied
that his wife should remain with the second
man. At sea he committed suicide by
jumping overheard, The woman had some
money, and now the descen dauts of her
first child claim her estate. The second
husband is about eighty years old, and OPP
poses the claims of the first husbands
heirs, while they claim that the woman was
not legally married to the living man, and
hence neither he nor his children have any
right to her estate.-Ne,O Bedford Mer-

A Spunky Woman.

The lady teacher Of a school in Gree ce,
Monroe county, N. Y, had promised to
punish couple Of lads for some violation
of school discipline. They bolted from the
house and took to their heels in backwoods
style at lively rate. The teacher, with
her Grecian spirit nothing daunted at this
turn of affairs, gave chase, over fences,
across bitches, fields, etc., at a rate that
would astonish an ordinary pedestrian, in
the determination Of her purpose to fulfil
her obligations to those under her charge,
and finally succeeded in capturing the run
aways.

GB- A strange case is that of young la
dy Of Lahaska. Annie p, eldest daughter
of Henry and Phoebe Rice, who resides ON
a farm about two miles from the village,
was bright intelligent and winning girl
of about eighteen years of age. In July,
1877, she began to show symptoms of
what was then supposed to be con-
sumption, but her decline was SO rapid
that in month she could scarcely whisper
audibly. The puzzled doctor suggested
change, accordingly she spent a week with
friends in Wrightstown. But ere another
month had elapsed she had not even the
power to whisper, so she had to resort to
writing. Even that is now limited, as she
can write but few words before she is al.
most exhausted. Gradually she sank un-
til she took her bed which she now never
leaves. If she desires drink the arm of
her father or brothers raises and supports
her, then lays her gently on her pillow al.
most lileless. More than four weeks ago
she refused to eat, and since that time she
has tasted no food whatever. Pleading is
of no avail she will touch nothing. DR..
Walters, the physician now in attendance,
says tits one of the most unaccountable
cases he ever met with. The girl is sink
ing slowly but surely, and while things
continue in the state they are now, there is
no possible hope for her recovery. Anoth-
er singular thing is, since Henry's daugh.
ter was stricken, his sister.in-law, who
lives ON the next farm, was taken the same
way, though at times she appears BETTER
Both ladies' are very low at the time of this

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1881-12-28

A SINGLE paragraph in the Presidents
very lengthy message is devoted to Hawaii
nei, it runs as follows
"The King of the Hawaiian Islands, in the
course of his bpmeward return, after journey
around the world, han lately visited this
country. While our relations with that King
dom are friendly this Government has viewed
with concern the Efforts to seek replenish-
ment of the diminishing population of the ISL
ands from outward sources to degree which
may impair their native sovereignty and inde-
pendence, in which the United States was
among the first to testify lively interest"
The wording of this is very clever
friend of ours said the document should
have been more explicit; that it ought to
have said more or less, but that is exactly
what it did not intend to do. We see our
contemporary interprets this passage as
being aimed against the influence of
Chinese. We know, very well indeed,
that the introduction of Chinese into these
island is viewed with no friendly eye by
our powerful neighbor; but though the
paragraph in question may very reason
ably be interpreted as our contemporary
does, it may just as reasonably be inter
preted in a different manner. Viewed in
another light, it might be regarded as
having reference to the East Indian
Coolies; or from still another point of view
as a menace against the too free introduc-
ton of Portuguese; others, throwing aside
the labor question think, it means thorough
hostility to the reciprocity treaty. Worded
as the paragraph is, it is really impossible
to give an Interpretation of its meaning,
without knowing more of the motives
which led to penning the words, than
most of us know down here. The message,
however, teaches one lesson which, as it
were lies in a nutshell; this country as long
as it governs itself properly, as long as
the property interests are not interfered
with, or jeopardized, will be recognized
as an Independent sovereignty but the
very moment that course of politics, or
action is entered upon, which will inter
fere seriously with these interests, then
there is a power which feels that it is of
the greatest importance to itself to speak
and to speak strongly. The independence
of this small nation depends entirely
upon its ability to manage its own affairs
properly, without undue friction. Small
though the country is, to the patri-
otic minister, it presents by no means a
comfortable course to steer. He is like
captain of small craft, which is sailing
through some dangerous channel full of
rocks and shoals of many kinds, upon
which he may wreck his little bark of
State; he may however sail along smoothly
enough as long as he can manage his crew:
but the instant mistake is made by him
or his crew mutiny, it is all over with him
and all hands too; the vessel goes down,
"piHkia," and claimed as a derelict.
What Hawaii has to guard against is the
danger of becoming derelict on the
political ocean.

have been erected, new enterprises under
taken, new vessels bought for trade and
that there seems an excellent chance OF
continued prosperity during 1882.
We have hastily glanced at only very
few of the prominent events which are
likely to make 1881 remembered in Ha-
waii. The assassination OF the rulers of
two great powers, like those of Russia and
the United States will point it out very
strongly to the whole world. Looking
out into the world and comparing the
prospects of great nations with our own
we may be content with our lot. Civil
war is threatened in Ireland; foreign war
looms up before France, who is now
moreover already engaged in petty war
fare in Tunis Socialism is rampant in
Germany, Nihilism, grim and awe inspir-
ing. broods over the future of Russia. In
the United States the cloud which settled
over the political horizon upon the death
of Garfield, seems to be dissipating, but
there is uneasiness among some people
still. In spite of our troubles then, in
spite of the labor difficulty, the lack of
population, and the many ills to which
all countries are heir to, we ought to look
the coming year boldly in the face We
ought to hope for continued prosperity
and to trust that the unknown future may
be laden with blessings and happiness to
the nation collectively and to its people
individually, and SO prove HAPPY NV
YEAR all round.

Law which is openly defed is worse
than no law at all; now we would ask it
the Act to prevent the carrying of deadly
weapons " is not daily defed? If upon
the other islands, and even in Honolulu,
there are not a number OF people who
carry deadly weapons Why is not the
law put in force against such offenders !?
It is to be supposed because it has very
seldom been put in force and that it is
difficult once having got into r1t to get
out of it. The defiance of this law some
years ago may have been confined to a
few isolated persons, and as those made
no i'll use of their weapons, no one thought
it worth his while, or necessary, to see
that it was strictly enforced. This is that
easy slipshod manner of doing things
which is thoroughly characteristic of the
tropics; but which so often puts its fol-
lowers into quicksand.
A firm in this town took the law some
what into their own hands the other day,
upon the matter of weapons; we think
their action thoroughly justiiable, only
what they did privately should be done
Systematically. A gang of Chinese ar
rived from the coast by one of the sailing
packets, we think the Discovery Agents
here, whose clients wanted laborers, en-
gagged them Upon discussion with the
shipping master, ne stated that he was
afraid, and could do nothing with them,
because all the new comers were armed.
"Ah," said the agents, " tell them all to
come here with their baggage, the planta-
ton they are going to is fine one, and
the managers are particular; we wish to
see whether their clothes are clean" Ac-
cordingly the Cinnamon duly arrived with
their kits, turned them out and had them
examined. During the course of the ex-
animation of the first kit revolver ap-
peared. "What's that? What do you
want that for?' "Oh, me California
Chinaman, me allie same Mclean man,
that my leevolver." The "leevolver" was
duly examined and admired, and the other
celestials were drawn to show theirs,
when the whole ten were raised, the agents
confscated them for the time, telling the
men that such weapons could not be
allowed to be carried round The pistols
were, however sent up to the manager,
and it was left to his discretion either to
return them at once to the men, or when
their contracts are out.
A strict supervision should be kept
up and no unauthorized person should
be allowed to go habitually armed. These
laws about carrying weapons are as old as
the hills almost: and again and again as a
people have become highly civilized they
have invariably seen the necessity of re-
moving the temptation which the carrying
of arms inevitably gives. Notonly should
there be a supervision of those who carry
arms, but there should be restrictions upon
those who sell arms. Here is something
for our new legislature to attend to.

WHEN are we going to have a proper
interpreter of Chinesei The question is
right square before us; Chinese inter
prefer of Caucasian race is an absolute
necessity, situated as we are situated; and
yet we have no such man, and not only
have we no such man, but to the best of our
knowledge, no effort, worthy of the name,
Is being made to obtain one; that some
one is necessary is readily acknowledged,
but there is very little definite idea of the
amount of salary that should be offered to

he arrived, and SO forth Vague ideas
