WE publish herewith the literal text of the
resolutions passed at the Kaumakapili meet
ing and the reply thereto, by H.RH the
Princess Regent The latter is thoughtful
and statesmanlilie document, the former an
utterance dictated by unreasonable panic and
yet twisted to subserve political purpose.
WHEREAS, Yesterday it became evident that the
dreadful! disease hnd spread which had caused SO
much dread and anxiety for the two months last
passed-the serpent that ground and destroyed
this people in 1853 and it would almost seem as
if the angel of death was going to return as in
times past and rub out the small remnant that is
left of us and
WHEREAS, All tho members of the present Cabi-
net (gho are authorized to appoint the members
of the Board of Healthy know the fearful destruc
ton of life III times past, but they, knowing all
these things, shut their eyes to the importance of
not allowing the disease to be landed during the
pas. few days and
WHEREAS, On the night OF December 25th pub.
lie meeting was held in this place to consider the
inefficient action of the Government and Board of
Health in allowing the landing of passengers of
the steamer which was known to have the disease
among her passengers, and the disease broke out
among those landed from that ship and
WHEREAS, Our beloved King was advised to re-
turn hight answer to grave and important reso-
lutions passed at that meeting Those were two
weeks of grief to the Kings subjects, who We're
looking to him for relief, but what is thought
(manao) by the Ministers now regarding their IN

Ir seems singular that the cry Of "ycllow
plague" should be raised by the very men
who brought into and carried through the
Legislature - tho Chinese Subsidy Bill No
men were more prominent in that business
than the late Minister Bush and the member
for Lahaina. and with what sort of consistency
they can cry ont against the influx Of China
men we cannot scc. The main object Of the
Bill was TO facilitate the importation OF
Chinese. There were certain side issues,
certain other objects to be served, no doubt,
but the only ostensible ground was "a we have
stated above. And now these very men cry
out "yellow plague" aud state that the "Mon-

Gentlemep; You have presented to me certain

This disease has been for ages one of the

willing 10 listen to advice and 10 take preventive
measures, ID did not SERIOUSLY spread, nor did il
spread III its last appearances IN 1871.
Ia the month Of Decembsr last, a vossd which
arrived from San Francisco having apparently no
disease ON board, landed a person who afterwards
developed the smallpox.
No osilnaIy care could have prevented such an
aecident and the circumstance only tends to show
that at all times We are subject In common with
other people to afictions and dfsease The disease
spread no further from this source.

WHAT ~ THIS I

Tho reason I am jealous for the cause of the
People il on account of the great cruelty of tho
Board of Health in raking up those who
pected of having the smallpox. For on Saturday
last, while the patients and their attendants
at Kahakaaulaia, they were left on that akuliiuli
island till night without food fish and the
things needful for the comfort of strangers that
iSln.. Strange this raking up of people and leav-
ing them there to die of cold and hunger. without
first providing for the patients and their attend
ants. What is the nature of this that is being
done before US Red Men 1t is done merely TO
provoke anger and to make the hearts of all hot.
1t was perhaps thought there would be no one to
report this or perhaps that the wrong done at
such distance would not be known, but this has
been learned from the hungry stomnchs through
the driver of the smallpox wagon asking for aid
on Saturday and Sunday last.
do not talk thus for the purpose of exaggera-
ton, but to wake up people, and TO correct this
inefficient action. IL this the proper action for
the Kings Government, mentioned III the Royal
answer to the Committee of the People, " Have no
fear for my Government will act promptly in this
matter"s According to my idea, this is not acting
right. MOI.
And now the smallpox is feeding upon the
kanakas, the haoles, and the pal;es here in Homo
lulu. The hope of putting ont the fire is gone,
since it il beyond the possibility of being put

The Science of Forestry.

The Boston Globe says: The science
of forestry is coming to press more
earnestly upon public attention as our
forests disappear under the wasteful
policy which has prevailed ever since the
country was settled, and in various direc-
tions effort is made to save what is left
and to repair, for the sake of future
generations, the losses already sustained
Such an effort is that of the Middlesex
Fells Association; and from the same
locality there comes the appeal of Mr..
F. Rand for the planting of rock or sugar
naples. Mr.. Rand's plan is ''to take
these trees from the forest at q suitable
age for transplanting, and set them out
on the borders of highways, row on
each side, say one hundred feet apart, or
with space enough to allow fair view
of our beautiful New England landscapes
from the road. Let them be arranged
so that the trees on the two rows may
not come directly opposite each other,
but have the trees on either side alter
nate with the trees on the other side. In
twenty or twenty-five years the average
of these trees would be of suitable size
to tap for sap, and meanwhile they would
have answered all the other purposes of
shade trees equally well or better than
others" The rock for sugar making,
is beautiful, hardy, clean, and valuable
shade tree, and in addition is especially
valuable. Mr.. Rand estimates that the
cost of this enterprise would be not
more than 81 piece for the trees,
including the frame work necessary to
protect the young trees from browsing
animals; while the profit does not end
when the trees cease to produce sap, for
the wood is valuable for various articles
of manufacture and for fuel.

The Princess Caroline, of Denmark,
who recently died in her eighty-eighth
year, was a second cousin to Queen Vic
toria. The deceased Princess was the
daughter of King Frederick VI, of Den
mark, and the wife of Prince Ferdinand,
of the same house. She had been
widow since 1868. Her fathers
mother was the Princess Caroline Ma
tilda, of England, and sister of George
Ill. She was born in 1751, and married
when only fifteen to Christian VII,
King of Denmark. In 1768 she became
the mother of the father Of the lady who
has Just died. introduced when very
young into dissolute court, she was
giddy and imprudent, but, as she always
protested, not guilty of infidelity to
her husband She was very pop
ular, except with the Queen dow
ager and another beldame of
the royal house. They were abso-
lutists in theory, while the young Queen
favored representative government and
raised Struensee, the Court Physician,
to the position of Prime Minister. She
showed him many favors and was doubt
less far from discreet. Finally the dow
ayers and their tools induced the weak
minded King to believe that his wife had
betrayed him. She was obviously more
fond of the brilliant young Minister than
of her besotted spouse, but, as she
claimed they were only friends. Never,
theless, Struensee was arrested January
16, 1772, and, with his friend Brandt
soon after beheaded. He died penitent.

The Story Of a Blighted Life.

There stands in Sharon (near the
Easton ine), half mile from any dwell
ing house, and quarter of q mile from
any road, in an old COW pasture on the
southern slope of hill, surrounded by q
few birch trees and scrub oaks, little
shanty. One small window looks out
upon the meagre scene. The house con-
tains but one room an old cook stove in
one corner In the further end of the
room is a bunk containing some straw
and few old ragged bedclothes !; shelf
that serves the purpose of table, and on
it are some pieces OF crockery and tin
ware an old axe and hatchet leaning
against the smoke-begrimed wall, and O
well worn Bible were all the room con-
tanned, as we one day visited it and lifted
the log that was braced against the door
and looked within.
This building has been for many years
the house and home of recluse. He is
now nearly eighty years of age. In early
life this eccentric man conceived the idea
that he had q call to preach the gospel ;
he, however, was never recognized as q
preacher, but was given permission to
"exhort." Like many young man be-
fore him, he in early life fell desperately
in love with fair and comely damsel ;
his love grew into a passion, and he
r>ldied how he should WOO and win her ;
but the time and place he chose to ask
her to become a partner of his joys and
sorrows were, as the sequel proved, most
unfortunate for its success. Seated op-
posite to her at the tea-table of a clergy
man, and in the presence of the family.
he offered himself to her and asked her
to become his wife. She was mad, and
showed the fury of a woman scorned.
She spurned the offer, and from that
day to this he has avoided the society Of
women, and has always kept as far from
them as possible, and has sought society
where none intrude. For over half O
century he has lived alone, and his Bible
has been his constant solace, companion,
and friend. - Correspondence Boston

The area of the Russian Empire is
1851 ,O04 square miles. The population,
including Poles, Firms, Caucasians, and
Asiatics, is IS, ,685, ,945. The area of Rus
sia proper is 1881 .216 miles, and the
population 65, 704, $50. No other coun-
try in Europe has as large territory or
as many inhabitants. The late Gear as
cended the throne March 2, 1855, after
the battles of Balakava and Inkermann,
and in the midst of the siege of Sebasto-
pol. His reign was exactly twenty-six
years and eleven days in duration. His
father, Nicholas, reigned thirty years
QS25-1855), and his great uncle, Alex
ander l., twenty-four years Q8O1-1S25).
There have been but three Cars of Rus
sia in the present century. Alexander
Ill, now on the throne, was thirty-six
years of age, March IL, and will, unless
he meets an untimely end, live to COM
plete the century in four generations.
The last Gar of Russia who met his
death at the hands of an assassin pre-
vious to the late Emperor was Paul, the
son of the famous Catharine 0796-18O1).
Spite of the repeated attempts upon the
lives of the rulers of Russia, the average
length of reigns in that kingdom has
been greater than in most other coun-
tries of Europe.

CarlyIe and Newton.

"F. W. R." sends to the London
Times the following authentic version
of the burning of the manuscript of the
first volume Of Mr.. Carlyle's "French
Revolution" given by Mrs. Carlyle
had completed the first volume, Mr.. J.
8. Hill called on him and stated that he
had heard he was engaged in writing the
history of the French revolution, adding
that he had himself intended to write on
the subject, and that he would be glad
to see what was already done, in order
that he might Judge of the advisability
of commencing the work or not. Mr..
Carlyle readily lent his manuscript; but
it happened shortly afterward that Mr..
Mills cook had occasion to bake some
cakes, and finding the precious manu-
script lying about, she concluded that
she might turn it to good account, and
accordingly, partly as fuel and partly as
lining for the cake tins, she used up the
whole of the manuscript. "Mr. Carlyle
never keeps notes." said Mrs. Carlyle,
"but gets all his materials ready, works
till he has everything in his head and
then winds it out like silk from reel. u
Horrifed at the accident Mr.. Mill and
Mrs. Taylor called on the great histo-
rian. "Such thing never happened
BEFORE" said Mr.. Mill. eyes, though, y
answered Mr.. Carlyle, "Newton and
his dog Diamond. True, but New.
ton went mad over it." "Well, well, we
shall hardly be so bad as that" said Car
lyle; and he soon afterward began again
at the beginning, scarcely saying word
about his misfortune at the time, but
afterward, as the work progressed, grum.
bling about it often"

A Powerful Criticism.

A man, desk, room. The man was
in the room and his feet were On the
desk.
Nothing was wasted.
The man was an editor.
Somebody raped at the door.
"Come in" said the editor.
It was boy.
He laid a book on the editors table
and went out.
The editor looked at it awhile, and
then took it into another room, where
there was another man with his feet on
the desk. He was writing busily; but
ceased his work as the editor came in.
He was literary person.
"Give this good notice." said the
editor
"All right" said the literary person.
Then the editor went out.
The clock in the corner of the room
kept up an incessant ticking. The lit
erary person disliked this clock, but the
man who wrote the financial articles
owned the clock and would not allow it
to be removed. He said its ticking re-
minded him of the way bankers did
business.
After awhile the literary person fin
ished his review OF bOOk on the ethics
of protoplasm. and stopped writing.
Presently he looked at the book which
the editor had left. He had never seen
anything like it before, but he did not
weaken. Again his pen travelled rapidly
over the paper. This is what he
wrote.
"We have received from the publish
ers dainty work, entitled Records of
Trotting and Pacing in the United States
and Canada for $780, and we can warmly
recommend it to our readers. While
the plot is one replete with sensational
incidents and situations, it is yet of a
character that can afford none, teaching
as it does, the lesson that true progress
is attained by honest effort. The almost
idyIlic story of Maud S. and st. Julien
who seem to be the principle characters
in the story, is told in simple yet fin
ished manner, and one lays down the
book with restful feeling at the heart
that should always be produced by o
properly-constructed novel"
The next day the editor saw this in his
paper. He read it carefully and said:

The project of railway between the
north and south of Australasia is now
fairly under way, and will reduce the
time between England and Sydney by
thirty days. The principal section Of
the northern part is already completed.
1t is 312 miles long, and runs between
Brisbane and Rome. Between the latter
point and the Bay of Carpentaria there
are yet 837 miles to construct. The line
will connect with that between Roe
hampton and Emeraldtown. There are
still gaps to fill between Brisbane and
Sidney, and Sidney and Adelaide. The
road will link together the principal
cities and most peopled regions of the
great island, with the exception of those
in the west. A syndicate has been en-
powered by the Legislature of Queens
land to construct all the road within its
domains, and will receive 1000 acres of
public land for each kiometer or three
eighths of mile built.
