n9- A Boston lady who had somewhat
Bachanalian spouse, resolved to frighten him
into temperance. She, therefore, engaged a
watchman, for stipulated reward, to carry
"Philander" to the watch. house, while yet in
state of insensibiIity, and to frighten him a
little "when he recovered" In consequence
of this arrangement, he was walked up about
eleven o'clock one night and found himself
lying on piano bench in strange and dim
apartment. Raising himself on his elbow, he
looked around, until his eyes rested on man
sitting by the stove and smoking cigar.
"Where am I ?" asked Philander.
"1n the medical college," said the cigar
smoker.
"What am I doing here!"
"Going to be cut upw

it, for it's all the good she ever could make

The NOISE OF THE F1NeER.-The i'm.
portance of preserving the physical system
from injury, is seen in the fact that such in
jury interrupts the healthful processes con.
stantly going on. In the Medical Record, DR..
Hammond says that when you poke the end
of your finger in your ear the roaring noise
you hear is the sound of the circulation in
your 6nger-which is fact, as any one can
demonstrate for himself by first putting his
finger in his ears, and then stopping them
up with another substance. Try it and think
what a wonder of machine your body is,
that even the points f your fingers are such
busy workshops tina: they roar like a small
Niagara. The roaring is probably more than
the noise of the circulation of the blood. 1t
is The voice of all the vital processes togeth-
er-the tearing down and building up pro-
cesses that are always going forward in every
living body, from conception to death.

A Coop GRrNDsroNE.-.The American
Builder thus sums up the qualities of a good
grindstone: 1t should be strong, simple, and
clean; the trough expanded to catch as much
as possible of the drip water and grit; NOV
able shield securely hinged to keep the water
from splashing, and yet permit the stone to be
used from either side; rests provided upon
which to rest tools and the rod for turning
the stone, these rests being arranged to move
toward the centre as the stone wears smaller
The bearings should be generous in size, prop
er provision being made for oiliug without
washing the grit into the bearings with the
oil, and the ends Of the bearings being pro-
tected by some device which efectually pre-
vents the entrance of the grit. The stone
should be secured to the shaft by nuts and
washers and the washers fixed 80 that they
cannot turn With the nuts as they are screwed
up or unscrewed. In hanging the stone great
care should be taken to hang it true sidewise,
not only for convenience in using, but because
a stone that is not true sidewise can never be
kept true edgewise.

TAKE CARE OF TEE MATcHEs-In moth
ing about the household does the injunction
to have "a place for everything" require
more strict enforcement than the care OF
matches. What are known as "parlor match
es'' light the most readily, and are so much
more dangerous than the common matches as
they are more convenient. The general stock
should be kept in tin box, which is not to
be opened or taken from, except by the mas
ter or mistress of the house. For each room
where matches are used, there should be
metal match.safe Of some kind, and the
matches are to be kept in that and nowhere
else. 1t should be regarded as serious OF.
fence for match to be anywhere, or for ever
go short time, found "lying around loose" !"
In the kitchen and the bedroom, or wherever
else matches are in frequent use it is better to
have the match safe fixed and always in the
same place, so that it can be found, if need
be, in the dark. In taking matches from the
larger box to replenish the safes, let that al
ways be done by one person, and it will pay
for that person to look over the matches at
the time, throwing away all the broken ones,
and where, as is often the case, two or more
are stuck together by the explosive mixture,
these should be carefully broken apart, and
unless two good matches are the result, rath'
er than to put into the safe one with too little
and the other with a ragged excess of the
mixture, throw both away. Also throw into
the fire those matches that have two or three
times as much of the mixture on the ends as
they should have. These, in lighting often
explode and scatter burning particles in 2
dangerous manner. If, in lighting match!
day or night, it breaks or the explosive end
comes off without lighting, do nothing else
until that end is found. and put into the fire.

mischief to person and property. Teach the
children to carefully observe the same caution

the war, a Richmond, Va, mercantile traveller
protested against compliment to the North
Carolina Confederates, claiming that North
Carolina troops were never ready for action,
except at meal times, and that they wouldn't
fight anybody but each other, and then only
when there was whisky in the camp. "Why,"
he added, Gin one engagement some dismount-

David Davis is of the opinion that
both the Democratic and Republican
party should be broken up and dis
banded. and he has written an open
letter to John Martin, of Topeka, in
which he advocates this. Senator Da-
Wis has been straddling the fence for
a long time, hoping there would be q
breaking up of present party organi-
cations and leave him as the leader of
a new party. But it seems that even
the Democrats of Kansas, who are
hopelessly in the minority, are unwill-
ing to join him IN this movement for a
new party.

David Dudley Field, in the North
american Review for May, under the
heading of "Centralizationin the Fed
eral Government" argues that the
national banking act, the tariff laws,
the legal tender act, the law in rela-
ton to the appointment ofsppervisors
of elections, all tend toward centrali-
cation and are in the nature of en-
croachments upon the rights of States.
He argues that the State rights theory
is correct, and that the United States
is Confederacy and not Nation.
Taking Mr.. Field to be an exponent of
the principles of the Democratic party,
it is evident that that party will again
advocate State rights as defined before
the war. Remembering the many
outrages that have been committed
upon both the persons and property of
citizens of the United States within the
borders of many States during the past
twenty years, the following paragraph
from his article is decidedly cool: "Se-
curity for persons and property is more
important even than unity. For this
security we depend upon the States.
To be State of the American Union
is to be a sovereign in every thing
within its borders, except where the
sovereignty in certain limited num-
Der of things has been granted to the
common government of all the States.
Sovereign States should be kept as
good old-fashioned expression. Long
may it live! State rights got a bad
name because they were pushed to
disqualification was folly, and
secession was a crime; but be-
cause this folly and this crime were
committed in the name ofState rights,
it would be folly to infer that the name
may not have a good meaning and
represent useful thing. 'Confeder-
acy' was a name abhorred when we
were fighting the Confederate armies,
but we are not now to be frightened
by a word"

The st. Louis Globe Democrat re-
quests the Governor of Missouri, in
carrying out the provisions of law
passed by the State Legislature requir-
ing him to appoint one hundred nota-
ries public for the city of st. Louis, to
select women for some of the positions.
With the number of notaries in that
city limited to one hundred the Globe
Democrat says that there will be work
enough to make their salaries from
81 900 to 5000 year.

The deadlock still continues in the
Senate, and it is reported that the
President is getting very anxious to
have his nominations confirmed. Sem
ator Blair proposes an extra session of
Congress as the surest way to break
up the present situation. He says the
Republicans can lot afford 70 back
down, and the Democrats are not like
~ to do SO. 1t is probable, however,
that ala executive session will be held
and the nominations confirmed, and
the fight over the election of officers
for the Senate renewed again.

The AdDertiseT has certainly fallen very
low-low even for the Adcefiser. We have
had from time to time to point out that
the articles headed "Street Talk" were
bordering very closely on the obscene;
that they were excessively coarse in char
acter; but this week an article under this
heading appeared, with a sub-heading
Post-morfem Examinations" which is.
we think, fairly the most disgraceful
thing that has ever appeared in the pages
of an Hawaiian newspaper. Not only is
this article coarse and repulsive in Its
imaginative details-the readers of the
Adpe7tser have long been accustomed tc
that-but it is positive outrage upon the
feelings of several honorable people in
this city. and more especially an outrage
upon the Judiciary.
1t certainly is by no means pleasing to
us to have to allude to such discreditable
piece of writing; but representing public
opinion, as we do, and knowing how
strong public opinion is upon this point,
we are forced to enter our protest against
a repetition of this kind of thing-to say
that as long as the editor of the AdUertiser
allows such stuff to appear in the columns
of his paper, his paper is unfit to lie upon
the table of any decent family in the com
munity.

Mn. EDToR; If there is bird of prey which
inspires insumountable disgust, and which
spreads repulsive odor it is certainly the vulture;
and this responsiveness is caused by his eating car
non. It seems TO me to-day that Mr. Gibson. in
his Street Talk can enter into fair comparison
with vulture. II is difficult to imagine anything
more outrageous to public decency than this ex-
huming of corpses upon which it has pleased him
TO gorge; and especially is it disgracefu because
OF one of the families only women survive, so
that he must have felt sure that no one would or
could demand satisfaction from him. This was
brave, very brave. Decidedly, would suggest
thai all true citizens should unite in begging the
