Langtry's Looks.

She stood erect, with her shoulders
back and the full lines of her figure per-
fectly revealed by dress that fitted
without wrinkle. The dark blue bod
ice was unrelieved except by brilliant
mass of gold braid down the front and
around the collar, and the plated skirt
fell in straight lines within few inches
of the deck. Beneath were two remark
ably small English walking shoes, and
on her head the actress wore a small hat
that has been named after her Her
hair was in loose and graceful ringlets
over her forehead and drawn in sim
pie knot behind Her waist was very
small, and her whole costume charac-
terized by elegant simplicity. Her
movements were extremely graceful and
digniiied, and she stood with her hands
clasped and head slightly bent, among
the crowd of strangers, a picture OF re-
pose. He hair is brown, with a tinge Of
rich auburn which looks like gold Mrs.
Langtry is unquestionably a very beau
tiful woman. He beauty is of that kind
which battles photography, and those
who have seen her picture only have no
conception of her face. Her complex
ion is pure white and almost transpar-
ent. There is on either cheek dull,
rich and scarcely distinguishable color
that softens the contour of the face, but
otherwise her skin is as white as snow
The ears are as purely white as the fore
head, and the eyebrows are beautifully
outlined. The mouth, in repose, has
pathetic or serious expression, and the
lips are rs clearly cut as n
statue when she smiles perfect
teeth are revealed, and the
cheeks wrinkle up into two deep little
dimples. The eyes, however, are the
most winning feature of all. They are
gray, with little jet black pupils, and
are shaded by long dark lashes They
are wonderfully expressive. and certain
ly very effective, for they did remarka-
BILE work to-day. Mrs. Langtry raised
them slowly, and glanced around into
the faces of the men about her, looking
at each one fully. The faces had been
sleepy perhaps, but they woke up as
soon as Mrs. Langtry talked. She
looked at the faces about her with an
expression of charming frankness, and
often laughed continuously when she
was amused. Her cordiality was in
fectlous. When she smiled every face
burst into broad and sympathetic
grin, and when she laughed her musical
tones were drowned in the subterranean
gurgles of the enthusiastic spectators
Her voice is soft, agreeable, and so
clear that it travels far, and she is ut
terly without the broad English accenl

people from the mother country.

Blow Ont the Light,

An eXchange gives some hints and in
formation which may be useful, as fol-
lows: persons whose business does
not make it necessary for them to be out
late at night would be surprised in a
nights walk to observe the great num-
Der of residences in which a lamp is kept
burning all night. The practice is in
some cases necessary on account of sick
ness in the family, but it it is neverthe-
less hurtful. No matter how carefully
they may be attended, kerosene lamps
throw out gas which is very poisonous.
When light is left burning the windows
of the room are usually closed, because
if left open the light would attract flies
and mosquitoes. The flame of one light
turned down low requires more oxygen
to keep it burning than is required by
adult persons. The light from the lamp
is also injurious to the eyes, and possibly
to this fact may be traced the constantly
increasing prevalence of eye diseases.
The best way is to keep lamp ready to
light in case of an emergency during the
darkness, with matches conveniently be-
side it. The eyes need rest as well as
the brain and muscles, and they need
darkness in which to find Chicago

THIRD PERFORMANCE OF THE
AMATEUR DRAMATIC CLUB.

We cannot afford space for u de-
tailed criticism, but will give our
opinion of the whole performance.
1t is not necessary TO sketch the
plot, as those of our readers who
were there know allabout it, and those
who weren't should secure seats for
the next performance. In the COM
cdietta, where all were so equally
good, it is difficult to discriminate,
but we would specially mention, as
artistic presentments, Mr.. Bicker-
ton as Nobbler and Mr.. G.. Brown
as Quickidgct. The little by-play
that tells so well and shows the true
artist was to be seen in each, and to
those acquainted with English GUS
toms would be noticed as so perfect.
ly natural. In the "Trial by Jury"
Mr.. Purvis' singing and acting were
especially good. 1t was a treat to
hear him speak every word in his
part plainly, as it is so rare for
amateurs to do so. Mr.. Walker and
Atkinson both deserve special notice
for the fidelity with which their parts
were rendered. Miss Parke looked
genuine bride, and we noticed that
her efforts were appreciated by
senders of two handsome bouquets.
The most enjoyable songs were the
two sung by the Defendant and the
Judges description of his rising to
the Bench. The entrance of the
chorus of Bridesmaids created q
sensation by their beauty, and the
scene in which the Plaintiff is sworn
in at the witness box was loudly APP
plauded for the splendid acting of
all concerned. The sestette, +" A
nice dilemma" and the finale chorus
were appauded to the echo.
Throughout the acting and singing
would have done great credit to
professionals. The Accomplishments
throughout were most ably rendered
by the Amateur Quintette Party.
Messrs. Yarndley and Berger's duet
during the interval was greatly ap.
plauded.

course; but they did know one
Thug, that he was q native, had no
experience, and was not qualified to
to assess large and valuable property.
Hilo people could only have had one
hope, that he would do just what
the assessors on Maui have done,
put down the value to suit the peo-
pie. But in order to do that they
should have seen the assessor early
and often. Last year, the Minister of
Finance appointed foreigners or men
of some experience in all districts.
when there was large foreign pro-
perties and endeavored to have the
assessments as nearly uniform rs
possible.
There is not one intelligent person
in IIilo district who believes that Mr..
Kelloa was qualified to value the
property Of plantation; but he had
the books of last year before him,
made up by man of some expert
ence, and approved of by the people
generally as being reasonable and
Just assessment.
1t is true the aggrieved have the
Board of Appeals to fall back on if
they are men of average intelligence
and do their duty. The taxpayers
only suffers to the amount of eX-
peuses, annoyance, &c, but the Gov
ernment achich al,oays means The
people, have no redress for property
that is undervalued, hence unfair
and unequal taxation.
This year, not only is each island
assessed on a different basis, but
each district. Wailuku and Ma<awao
districts were assessed in 1881 by
men of large experience, with the
greatest care and general satisfac-
ton to the people. This year, the
property in these districts have been
reduced in value several hundred
thousands. Can this reduction in
values and loss of revenue be attri-
buted to our political situation. do
not believe it does, any more than
the inflated value on the Iilo dis
trict does. 1t is simply want Of
knowledge and care on the part of
the administration in appointing
men with neither knowledge nor abili-
ties and without any one at the head
of affairs to manage or direct men
in their duties.
There is nothing that irritatef the
public mind like unequal taxation.
So long as it is made equal, so long
as each man knows that he is not
required to contribute more than his
equal share to the maintenance OF
the Government, and so long as the
| Government uses such contributions
for legitimate purposes, so long will
peace and contentment reign and nc
longer. ~
