Small Pox.

We have, with regret, to record three cases of
small pox have occurred amongst the hands of
of the Steamer Iwalani who were on quarantine
on the reef. We give particulars below. Two
of the cases are very bad ones and Publ is not
expected to recover.
When the Likelike came into port on Sunday
morning the Captain, before coming to the wharf
reported that one of his hands had been i'll,
since the previous Friday night and that the
symptoms were suspiciously like the fever Of
small pox, although no eruption had presented
itself. After inspection Of the patient the
Health Officer ordered him to be removed to the
Quarantine Hospital but considered the case SO
doubtful that he allowed the steamer to come to
the wharf and land her passengers. The sick
man had been working in the surf at Hilo for
some hours and lay down thoroughly wet. The
fever may therefore not have been that of small
poX although the symptoms were very
similar. On his removal to the hospital he
was placed in a separate room, which
however, opened into the same verandah as the
room of one of the patients who had smallpox.
He was subsequently removed to a separate
building. He is now cOnva1escent and the usual
signs of smallpox eruption have not presented
themselves. At the same time all the symptoms
agree with those of an extremely light case Of
variOloid. The objection to this theory Is that
he shows no sign Of successful vaccination. tie
himself says he was not yacclnated until lately,
and that the attempt was then unsuccessful.
SAANANL 1ANA
dangerous case Of smallpox was to be expected
if the man had really been infected. On the
other hand, the man comes from a n~eighbor-
hood in Manoa Valley in which cases of small
pox were concealed some three months ago.
Among the patients from that place no less than
eleven deaths occurred. Hence, until the period
for cases arising through infection from this
man has passed away, We cannot feel sure that
he did not have variolOid fever, and was conse-
quently a source of infection to the passengers
and crew of the steamer who were so promptly
let loose upon the community.

hiasayoshi of Toxic, a distinguished painter in
bill, is at work on a likeness of the King of Ha-
wall, as His Majesty appeared in japanese dress,
when he was present at an entertainment given
in his honour In the M0nljikwdn. 1t is added
that the artist intends to make a gift OF his work
to the Hawaiian Government.

IF Professor Alexander delivered a lecture
on Modern Jerusalem and its Holy Places, "
before the members Of the Young Mems
Christian Association on Thursday evening last.
The lecturer had the advantage of speaking OF
what he knew and had seen, which gave an
additional interest to what he had to say on a
subject which might be assumed to be a favorite
study Of all who call themselves Christians, but
lecturer confined his remarks chiefly to the site
of the Temple and the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre, and a discussion of the true site of
Calvary. His address was illustrated by maps
of Jerusalem, and an admirable plan of the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The attendance
was discreditably small.

II Lepers on Lanai resist arrest with fire.
arms. A short while ago, a policeman was sent
from Lahaina to Lanai to arrest four natives
condemned as lepers, and to deliver them to the
Agent of Board of Health, to be sent to the leper
hospital on Molokai. The policeman arrested a
leper named Haiola, and placed him under
guard in a house, while a boat was getting ready
to transport the parties to Lahaina. The guard
fell sleep, and Haiola vamosed the ranch; and
is enjoying a retreat in the Kuahiwi (mountain
RIDGE of Lanai. Another policeman then
proceeded to arrest a leper named Poe, living at
Maunalei. Poe drew a pistol from his pocket,
and drawing a bead on the policeman, the latter
ran away in great fright. A third attempt was
made TO effect a capture of lepers,-of two
named Holokahiki and Aneru; but as Aneru
showed a pistol, discretion was again regarded
as the better part of official valor. Our police
administration at Lahaina is singularly weak
and ineffective.

II We note with pleasure an incident which,
attended the burial of Mrs. Gertrud de Russell.
This lady, gifted and accomplished, and in the
early prime of life, suddenly, without any prec-
eding sickness passed away. Such an event is
calculated TO awaken much apprehension and
discussion; and our opinion based upon som
knowledge of the parties and the circumstances,
is that the deceased lady, being painfully affec-
ted by a series of misfortunes was over come by
distress of mind. In any case, the demise
of an educated foreign lady In this country, I'M
der such circumstances, should be an event ap-
pealing TO the tenderest christian charities of a
cultivated christian community. We regret to
say, that this appeal of q suffering, dead sister
was not recognized, by as many, who might have
done so, as our hopes in the professors of a
religion of love and mercy would lead US to
expect. However, charity and the holy spirit of
true religion were represented nevertheless, on
the occasion of the interment. The officiating
clergyman, Bishop Willis had read the customary
prayers; and had cast the formal clod of earth
upon the ~resounding roof of the narrow home of
the departed lady, and the little group that stood
near the brink of the grave were about to turn
away from the sad obsequies, when a group of
four ladies standing by the bank of soil that was
about 10 cover their departed sister, lifted up
their voices in song. and breathed forth a tender
melodious chant: Nearer my God TO Thee
that hoated away on the balmy afternoon breeze,
floating onward and upward 10 a Throne of Love
and Mercy. The quiring strain lifted up tend
erly every heart, and most sweetly appealed to
the hottest sensibilities of every one present.
We never listened to song more tender and in
spring. 1t was the angelic chant of purified and
ennobled human nature. 1t was an inspiration
to our heart of hearts, from whence welled forth
the silent ejaculation; God bless these ladies %

y The Sydney Echo, July II. thus sum
marizes the recent legislation on the Chinese
question in New Zealand -" Under the new
Chinese immigration Bill, which has passed
both Houses in New Zealand, a poll-tax of e10
will be levied, and only one Chinese for every
10 tons of tonnage will be allowed in each ship
carrying Cinnamon. The shipmaster will, if he
breaks this rule, be liable to a penalty not ex-
ceeding e1C for each Chinese passenger carried
in excess and he will also be held responsible
for the payment of the poll-tax. Any Chinaman
desiring to leave the colony within three years
of the date of his arrival may claim refundment
of his h~ead-money after proving that he has not
been imprisoned for any offence, and that no
expense has fallen on the authorities for his
support. All Chinese in the colony when the
Act comes into force will, of course, be exempted
from payment of the tax and certificates of
exemption will be granted TO such Chinese resi-
dents as desire TO DO absent from the colony for
a temporary purpose" We may add that q
similar bill is before the New South Wales
Legislature, and the Government of the colony
of Victoria are pledged to follow in the same
direction.

- Proceedings, based upon the ex-parte
statement OF an unknown stranger, sent from
abroad, have been commenced in Court TO disbar
q lawyer recently admitted 10 the bar Of Homo
lulu, and who had presented the very best Gre
dentials. 1t may be confidently asserted, that If
proceedings based upon the statements Of preju-
diced parties, were allowed 20 proceed against
ministers and other officials, that there is not
one whose position would not be in jeopardy.
- -Four Chinese firms were fined by Judge
Bickerton. on Wednesday last. for having on
their premises more than the statutory allowance
of ten cases of kerosene oil. One of the cases
was a fragrant one-no less than forty-ene
packages being found en- the premises, which
are situated in the most crowded part of the
city. Judging from the evidence given in the
other cases. 1t would Seem tobe q practice with
retailers, when their stock is getting low, TO get
IN a fresh lot of ten cases. What may have
remained in stock is then, of course, an excess
over the legal limit. No doubt these prosecu-
tons will serve as a warning to others.

r Sugar landed here from the outports
very commonly turns out short of the
expected weight. Besides the loss by the
ordinary accidents of shipping and landing
there is room to believe that petty pilfering
often goes on. Two cases have been heard by
the Police, Justice during the past week, in
which it was attempted to fix the theft of sugar
from the schooner "Waiole on suspected
whose evidence the charge had been made
proving a slippery customer. The defendants
were discharged, but the testimony elected
showed pretty plainly that plenty of opportu-
nifty to pilfer sugar exists for the masters or
men of our inter-island traders if they should
be dishonesty inclined.

AN ANGEL.

At breakfast late, her pouting lip
Tells nothing suits her ladyship.
Curl-papers till her irony hair;
Her Sloven dress is worse for wear;
Her face is pale and scarcely clean,
And she-well, she is just sixteen.
Piano bangs she till the noon,
Which, like herself, is out of tune;
And then struggles down to munich
Some cake and pickles for her lunch.
She scolds her ma, with sister Spats;
And calls the children horrid bratS.
At eve-a transformation scene.
In dress she looks a radiant queen;
Her cheeks are red. her eyes are bright,
Her smile is sweet and all delight.
What meaps this change? Oh .well,y you see
Her beau is coming after tea.
In parlor sits T. Edward Jones,
Charmed BY his "angel'S" gentle tones,
And dazzled by her beauty, while
She eats his candies with 4 smile.

The man who uses up every energy in
the one object of making money, and
who guages the value of everything ac-
cording to the opportunities that it of
fords of increasing his stocks and bank
balance is throwing away not only the
beauty, but most OF tho usefulness of his
life. For money is but one means to hap
piness; it is nothing in itself, nothing
when separated from the wisdom that
knows how to use it, and the energy that
extracts value and beauty ont Of it.
That life is not worth living that is
wholly absorbed in gaining money and
sinks away exhausted in the effort. 1t
is like that of the builder who should
spend his entire energies in collecting
materials without erecting % single
structure, or the wood-cutter who should
use all his hours of labor in diligently
sharpening his axe.

One Of the most touching things we
have read in q long time is that story
Of q robber and poor lone woman near
Franklin, Indiana. The robber came
to her house at night and demanded her
money or her life. She hadn't much
money or life either, but she preferred
giving up the former rather than the
latter; SO she brought her little store
and placed it in his hand. He looked
it over carefully, to see that she didn't
palm off any twenty cent pieces tor
quarters, and facetiously told her that
he could credit her for only ninety-four
cents on the trade dollars, chiding her
for taking them at their face value.
Haven't you anything else Of valueP
inquired the bold, bad burglar, looking
about the scantily furnished apartment:
"a child's bracelet, ring, anything will
be thankfully received" She had nota.
ing more, she replied, with a sigh. A
thought struck him. "Your husband
was o soldier, was he not 7" She ac-
knowledged that he was, and was killed
in the war. Then he must have had q
revolver" he continued, searching her
countenanee. "Ah you grow confused
you stammer: your manaer betrays
you. Get that revolver at once and
give it to me-" In vain the woman
implored him to spare her that harmless
trinket, almost the sole memorial of the
husband she had lost. She had pawned
many things when IN distress, but had
always held on to that. But the robber
was unrelenting. Sobbing bitterly the
poor woman went to o bureau drawer
and removed the preciousrelic, aronnd
which clustered SO many tender recol-
lectioas. Must you have it7i' said
she, as she advanced with trembling
steps towards him. "Yes, must said
the robljsr, extending his hand. "Well,
then take it," said she,gently pressing
the trigger for the last time. There
was loud report, and the robber tnm-
bled over dead. The community ought
to pension that woman Cincinnati
