member OF that august body. | saw
him there the other night. He is not
by any means the pretty and youthful
creature we have so industriously sup
posed him To be on our side OF the
water. He must be something like
forty five, and dumb looking party at
that. He must have very winning ways,
because there's nothing about his looks
to be struck after. His hair is
brown and shiny, and is combed down
over his ears 1t is cut on regular line
from one temple down around the back
of his neck to the other temple like the
locks of German second fiddle in an
orchestra. What is more, it has that
stern and undertaking curl just at the
end of all the hairs which had hither-
to thought could be accomplished only
on wig block. He wears his hat set
straight on top of his head, as though
he were afraid of topping over if it got
out of plumb, and he sits generally in
his place in Parliament with an oX-liIe
reserve, which can be explained only
upon the theory that he isn't quite sure
how his forensic ambition might ter
inmate if he were allowed to soar. 1
imaS Zine he is right, for it seems TO me
though I'm not sure of it-that there
is disposition in Parliament to guy
him. And when such n disposition is
developed in any British breast, let
alone the bosom of British member
of Parliament, it is something 10 be
avoided, unless you have an undue
fondness for that kind of touch-and-go
popularity which you can find in almost
any respectable receiving vault. Some
one of these gentlemen, has, for in
stance, handed in at the desk of the
Speaker of the House of Commons a

Ashmead Bartlett, that he Twill

festive about this mancuverP I'm
blessed i'll do. But it has convulsed

about it. l should as soon think of

Only the General Manager.

At station ON one of tine railroads

the station agent, who had been in the
place about three weeks, and was look

troit and take charge of the line, was ap-
preached by quick, well-dressed man,
smoking cigar, who asked:
Keep you pretty busy here?'
YUM was the jerky reply.

"Yum," again.

"Want to charter carp

The agent left him on the platform and
entered his office and busted himself fol
half an hour, when the quiet man looked

What's the salary of position like
this?"
''That's my business" was the promp1
reply.

"Ask the baggagemen.'

s'It certainly is mine, Susan. ] wrote
this paper myself.
"Mr. Minton must have dropped it,
suppose. mum"
s.That's it, of course"
But as she wife read the words she
had penned, and meditated in the pri-
vacY of her own room, she ceased to be-
lieve her gift had merely been lost.
How could it have been dropped from
the pocket in which it had been securely
packed? And 1t had been her parting
gift.
She had dwelt with delight in her
musings upon her husbands surprised
smile as his eye fell upon her written
| directions. She deemed her expressions
of affection therein as prettily and wit
| tily conceived For four days more she
would have to await his return. Mrs.
Minton shut the bottle up in drawer
| with Sigh
| The anxiously awaited knock was at
| last heard, but it was accompanied by a
sound which made the wife think at
once of her gift, and very shortly after
| her mutual embrace ask her husband if
he had experienced no benefit from the
medicine which she had given him.
At such q moment what would the potF
man say?
s'It's all gone, but as you see" he re-
! piled and coughed.
ST do not see that it is all gone, either
couch or cure,' she returned, rising and
giving him an indignant glance, and an
instant thereafter held the bottle before
his astonished gaze.
Mr.. Minton fell back in his chair with
confused laugh.
| .'Ah, see! Jobson has been here"
SO you gave it to him, did you?'
II thought he had greater need
than T."
'Of this?" asked the wife, uncorking
the bottle, and handing him the slip of
paper.
/ 'sThls is meant for your head,
/ But it should touc1 your heart;
wife's love Is in it,
Though you far from her stray.
Ifyou take his eacn day.
| No other can win it.
"Am I to conclude that I have lost
you?" said Mr.. Minton, as he finished
reading the verse, 'sam to suppose that
old Jobson has gained your"
''Mr. Jobson has not been here"
"Then how comes it you have that
bottle?"
II found it laying upon the kitchen
dresser.
But neither Mr.. or Mrs. Minton will
ever exactly know how the 'cure" re-
turned to them unless they read these
lines.
It's singular reappearance in theil
household has had, however, the gooc
result of making Mr.. Minton confint
himself to the strict truth when talking
to his wife. She has only to say "bottle'
to curb him in the slightest tendency tt
exaggeration.

LEGISLATIVE WORK.

After having been in session now
nearly two months with hut snail
record of work done, our Legislators
are confronted with two measures
that have been each 30 much talked
of, in different sections Of the com
nunty, and are each SO radically
different one from the other in every
respcct,-thnt the Legislative situ-
alton is about to become interesting,
at last. The two measures to which
VIC refer Area National Loan, and
n Prohibition Law. There are two
loan bills before the Assembly, the
one introduced by Mr.. Lahilahi,
authorizing the borrowing of Ten
Millions, and another by the Attor-
ncy-Gcneral providing for the issu-
ance of bonds for an aggregate sum,
not to exceed Two Millions. The
discussion of these two measures
will doubtless take up much time,
and q great deal of elogucnce
and wisdom will be ventilated
br the honorable members from
Molokini and Kahoolawe in regard
to financial matters; but we venture
the prediction that the last named
bill will be the one to pass. Then
in regard to the liquor business
there are two prominent bills before
the House. One, brought in by
the Hon. Mr.. Kaunamano, is idcnti-
cal with a bill which was passed by
the Assembly in 1880, but which
failed for some reason to be ap-
proved by the King. 1t removes
the restrictions on selling or furnish
ing to natives, and permits the issu-
ancc of licenses for other places
than Honolulu. The bill of the
Hon. Mr.. Rice, which was intro
duced yesterday, is to all intents and
purposes prohibitory law. Spiritu-
GUS liquors are to be imported only
by Government, and to be used,
under special license only for inedi-
cal, mechanical, scientific or reL-
gions purposes. Between debt and
drink--two dcmons-the Assembly
has now something to do. Let us
see, what we shall see.
