AMERICAN EXrRAVAGANCE.-I saw
m American woman the other day buy
a dress which cost $500. 1t was. in re-
atty, a silk and velvet carriage dress.
and it would have been impossible for
the Princess of Wales to have a finer
one. This lady will wear the dress on
foot around the streets Of the small
town in a western State where she lives.
In Il moment of expansion she told me
that the s.. 900 letter Of credit they
brought here was all the money they had
in the world. When they have spent
that they will live on their husbands
salary Of $50 weekly. Now, in Europe,
when you see a m wearing a $500
outdoor dress, only two conclusions are
possible-either that she is the wife of
a man possessing 800, 900 a year or she
is a creature beneath contempt, whose
not having paid for the costly gown she
wears is a matter which needs no ex-
planation.-Lomion Letter.

ton OF what is going on under their
noses than if they were living inclosed
within enchanted walls. Such an Incl
dent has taken place this week. The
Somerset family decided to put up to
auction the effects of the old Duchess,
lately deceased, and with them certain
articles belonging to the Duke, her hus-
band. Among these august" relics
We're a lot Of trumpery, dresses, shawls
and clOaks and a number of Old tooth
brushes, for which the public We're ex-
pected to compete eagerly because a
duke had used them. That the English
people are sn0bs they have often been
told by their own writers, and that they
dearly love a lord, we all know. but that
they should be anxious TO clean their
teeth with a dukes discarded tooth
brushes one cannot quite bring oneself
to believe. As a matter of fact, the
Somerset family miscalculated the
strength of popular reverence for the
upper classes" So strong a NANTES
tation Of disgust was provoked by the
exhibition in the auction room that the
sacred tooth brushes were withdrawn
from the sale. One would be interested
to find out, if it were possible 70 do so,
what proportion Of the English a%ristoc-

family that the bulk of the people are

STREET TALK.

The tribunal, or court of enquiry, set up by n
Privy Council committee is the talk of the town.
The enquiry proposed in respect to the case of
Polua is no doubt proper enough but it is the
manner, and style Of interrogatory outside Of
this court of enquiry, by some of the members
who wear the ermine, that has excited so much
Indignation. A young married man, who stated
his opinion, from general opinion of Hawai-
ians, that they did not appreciate the marriage
relations as foreigners did and that the
m%1dnunhi, or illicit love was always the dearer
and more passionate with them, was asked by a
member of the Court, if such was his experience
in his unlawful relations. I heard a big listed
man in the street say, that he would knock down
a judge, (outside of court no doubt who would
put such a question to him.
Another big wig on a small head, asked, if it
would be regarded as "A sign Of insanity for "A
man to stand on his head.
This / think is trailing the ermine rather low
down.
After all the row gotten up about the poor fell
low condemned TO be hanged, some Of the petit
TONERS for reprieve or pardon, got scared when
before the Committee, and said that if they had
known that the man was not married TO the
woman, they would not have signed the petition.
l think this was a weak funk.
The rest of the petitioners who m~anfully stood
their ground, have ] think seriously damaged the
official character of the leading members of the
Committee
Passion and pique are made apparent in men
in high responsible position, who ought to be
above passion, pique, or display Of temper, in
any public matter or question.
Imagine the d%ignifed, calm, deliberate, Judi
cial minded Lee, Robertson, and Allen, dealing
with a lot of petitioners setting forth their assur-
ances, or belief for a mitigation Of sentence, and
contrast with the present action and i feel as
sured, that any one acquainted with the past
thirty years of Hawaiian judicial history, will
recognize the contrast as immense, and to the
disadvantage of the present time.
We are fallen on evil times. 1 should think
that Ministers must have their repose disturbed
by small pox, Chinese riots, hard times, anda man
to hang.
And what will they do if the Decima' comes
with another load of Cinnamon Z? Your plan Of
an organized force will have to be acted upon
better sooner than later.
