The CroWning AbsurditY.

Whether are we drifting Is our
canoe Of state f" already within the
narrowing circles of the melstrom of
autocracy Such were the queries
that greeted my loyal ears this
morning as l passed into Queen
street. An apparently insane Queen
street monopolist rushed frantically
up and gesticulatlng wildly wanted to
know show far this farcical parody
on constitutional government would
be allowed to continue it's ridiculous
burlesque ?" How long before the
nation most interested would cease
to look with Indifference upon such
senscless absurdities and forcibly
dictate a wiser policy >? Why, he
said "When ! look back to the
second interregnum and think
what ridiculous consecution of
governmental follies we have been
treated to since, I cannot prevent
tears of mortified national pride
flowing like the lirnpid 'artesian
from Wards Well," and now, he
said, "the disgraceful elimination
will be reached in the Growing
Absurdity' on February, 1885,"
My Christian friend, mildly re-,
marked. "You arc considerably off
your base" You view the matter
in entirely the wrong light, you over
look completely the grand national
prestige this closing assumption of
autocracy will bring to beloved
Hawaii, how completely the empires
and monarchies Of the latest civiliza-
ton will be thrown in the shade,
what perfect rebuke it will be TO
such poetry as the following, i. e.
Away in his distant home of abb
solutism the autocratic Russian is
doubling the expediency of corona
tion-his subjects borne on the ad.
vancing waves of progressive civili-
zation are earnestly demanding the
benefits of constitutional govern
ment, and the throbbing Of that
mighty engine of freedom, the un-
shackled expression of educated
thought, is shaking the imperial
throne of the Romanoffs to its very
foundation.
We can say to those far off turbu-
lent spirits "proft by the example
Of great Hawaii. Oh We rebellious
constitutionists in the despotic home
of the Romanoffs Give DER your
unrcasoning clamor for constitu-
tional government, and submissivcly.
bow to the personal misrule of the
infallible Gar"
And then you know my friend it
will serve rs sort of. check upon
the presumption of our conceited
neighbors across the way, who
Seem inclined tn interfere in our
affairs. They meddle altogether too
much, these ghastly Americans you
know We must I" sit down" on
them.
But said my friend the monopolist
isn't it rather expensive and extrava-
giant this coronation business !? That
is neither here nor there, said 1, you
sugar monopolists, bankers and mer-
chants will have to pay for it, what
do we native Hawaiians care how
much 1t costs, we intend to have
grand time, and don't you forget it?

She Was Vacciuatcd.

Yes. papa broke.
The June sun had sunk to rest In great
bank of feecy clouds that were piled up against
the western sky. their upper edges given q
beautiful rose-red tint by the ulIiyering rays OF
golden light that still shot up from below the
horizon. She who spoke the words with which
this chapter opens was fair winsome girl
with 1.-THE, shapely figure and the complexion
of lily. From the earliest days of infancy
Calita Corcoran had been surrounded by every
luxury that money could procure: had been
the petted idol of parents who layished upon
her all the wealth OF mad. passionate at
lection, whose depths those alone who have
an only child can know. Clothes that would
bent princess and Jewels that might
adorn a royal coronet had been hers And
now Just as she was budding into the sweet
beauty OF perfect womanhOod just a. life had
for her only roseate hues. the bloS had fallen
fallen with cruel, crushing force. and the future
into which She had been looking so ioyously,
and with such confident hope. was rendered
dark and desolate by the pail of disappointment
which an angry fate had SO ruthlessiy cast over
il. Her father had told her. not an hour ago,
that he was runed-that deal in No. , spring
wheat had proven the Gree which lurcd him on
TO financial destruction. They were sitting at
the supper table when PiZarro Corcoran related
the story of his ruin to the girl. and after he had
finished she did not bemoan her sad fate. but
only said in low. tender tones: How kind of
you. papa. not to tell me this until had eaten
the I.St UiScuit III might nave taken away my
appetite"
Carita had gone fromlthe Supper table to the
pdror, and it was there that she told Roscoe G..
Manaffy. her aflianced. of the disaster that had
Overtaken her-told itin the simple but eloquent
manner narrated above. YES" she said her
breath coming short and quick, papa is broke"
Roscod0oticed her emotion. Get your Sec
ond wind my darling" he said tendcrly; you
are eXcited"-and kissing her ruby-red lips. he
seated himself on a yelyet-coyered fauteuil and
gave free rein to the weird faIcies that thronged
his brain.
lie was in no danger of being run away with,
however.
And do You stiil love me-" Carita asked,
looking at him earnestly.
"Loveyou. my angel. of course lido. Nothing
can change or shake my love and he drew her
to his heart and laid her cheek AGAINST his. With
a little soft, happy sob she lifted her arms and
twined them around his neck: and then he tells
himself, there is nothing more on earth to he
wished for.
''Carita.-ny darling" he said in low choked
voice.
The girl still retained her cable grip on his
neck.
The minutes pass: then she looks up at him
her cheeks. but her face is pale as moonlight,
and on 1t is new. deep meaning that Roscoe
had nevGr seen there ia all his lille before
