BONES.

On the wharf a short time ago, l
overheard the following converse
ton, which to me was more than in
teresting:
(First Party)-Yes, there appears
to be quite business in this bone
meal. i have just heard that one of
our butchers has sent for mill to
manufacture bones into meal here.
(Secohd Party)--Well, l am glad
to hear that, We will have chance
to sell our meat bones. What will
we get for them, do you think?
(F. P.)--Perhaps half n cent per
pound.
6. P.)--Oh! dear me. my meat
bones cost me 10 to IS cents per
pound.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
TAsTEs DIFFER.

Tastes differ: they always have
and they always will. What is lus-
cious to one palate is nauseous to
another: objects that are beautiful
to one pair of eyes are ugly to ano-
ther pair: sounds which offend and
distract some ears are pleasant and
charming to others. This accounts
for crowds of Cinnamon assembling
night after night, and remaining to
late hour, in the Chinese theatre: {:
the acting and the music accord
with their taste. The sound which
we have just honored by the name
of music resembles the squeal of a
pig, the rattle of dry bones, the kick
of kerosene tin, and the strike Of
a suspended gum barrel, all mixed
together in equal proportions, and
repeated continuously. Foreign
barbarians and uncultivated Hawai-
ians think it horrible mixture of
diabolical noise; but the refined
Celestial drinks it in with dreamy
delight. If the Foreigners and
natives living around Ithat neighbor-
hood could acquire the taste of the
Chinaman, they would be spared
many sleepless nights and much
annoyance. But failing to reach so
high a standard, they talk of this
music as public nuisance that
ought to be abolished by law.
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1882-12-02
(F. P.)-IIow is that?

ESP. My meat aud bones cost
me 10 to 20 cents per pound, just
MS the meat axe happens to strike.
(F.P.)-Yes, that is your meat,
but the bones. You do not purchase
at that rate. .l1i ,ttt
(S.P.)-I see you do not know
much about this part of housekeep-
ing; the fact is, bones and meat are
the same price, often more bones
than meat, to rib roast nowadays.
You will see O lot of bones sticking
to it like mast-hoops, all of which l
pay for as meat. This was not the
case years ago, but it is now.
(F.P.) - Cattle are high now.
Years ago SIS was a good price for
q bullock that would dress 500 lbs. &,
now it's $50, and likely to be more.
Other expense and also much higher
such as wages rents so.
(S.P.)-Well, what will be the
end of this-drop reciprocity, will
that keep us?
(F.P.)-That would lower the
price of beef, mutton, butter, &C.,
no doubt, but it would be rather
severe medicine for the disease. /
have no doubt but what this will
work its own cure in time.
(S.P.) - Well, / have ordered
beef from Washington Territory,
some have ordered from Australia,
others from Oregon and San Fran
cisco, and before long / can say one
half of our meat will be imported, as
we import everything clse--it will
not only be cheaper but better fol
the health of our people. Too much
fresh meat is not good in a climate
like ours, it is eaten too soon after
being killed, is tough and requires
too much doctors sauce to digest it.
(F.P. )-As far as that is con-
cerned it will only be couple OF
years when the Northern Railroad
will be finished to British Columbia,
line Of steamships is then to be put
on to Australia via Honolulu, and
with the freezing process on board
we can have fresh meat from either
end, and reciprocity with Canada
will settle the sugar market with us.
(S.P.)-1s that likely to happen
in our day?
(F.P.)-Before three years.
Bones.

have just opened out their Christ
mas goods. Determined not to be
behind other folks they have laid
themselves out to cater to the public
wants in this direction, and have got
together one of the fastest assort-
ments in the Kingdom. A table
down the centre of the room is load
ed with Christmas cards-not mar
vels Of costliness and extravaganza,
but of refined and artistic taste.
Books, paper weights, fancy
stationery, photo albums, boxes in
plush, autograph albums, purses and
variety of other elegant nick-nacks
crowd the show cases, and an as
sortment of New Year calling cards
gives us hope that "Calling Day"
will be kept up here. Behind all
these are the genial countenances of
Mr.. Oat and his assistants, whose
mute eloquence and gay geniality are
worth more as an appeal than others
strident entreaties.

an honest chivalry. Had the girl
thrown herself into their hands, it
might have been excused on the falli-
bllity of man; but they had to take
unusual steps to deprave her, and the
bringing of the New York prostitute
to New Haven will be an everlasting
stigma upon them, whether they are
convicted of Jennie Cramer's death
or not.
There are many particulars about
this crime which it is necessary to
review. The evidence is conflicting.
l have not undertaken to assume the
part of prosecutor or even novelist
in this story. The general facts are
as has been stated-that there was
pretty young woman, rather free from
her parents restraint, in the habit of
making chance aequaintances around
the city of New Haven, and that she
infiamed the lust of a certain young
man who failed to get possession Of
her and called in the aid of cousin
who was very intimate with prosti-
tute, and this prostitute was brought
by one or both of the young men 10
New Haven and made acquainted with
the girl, and the prostitute was acces-
sorry in some way to the debauchery
of the girl; and Immediately after the
debauchery, the interval being only
thirty-six hours at most, she was
found dead in the water, with proba-
Gle poison i'm her body.

FROM BENTON CITY.


BENTON City, April 30.-We have
been SO busy with spring work that
we have neglected to write for your
''paperfor the people now on earth"
Benton City is improving some,
and has great expectations in the
near future.
Messrs. Whiteside & Orr have fin
ished their new store and commenced
business. They keep general mer-
chandise, and report business equal
to their expectations. They are now
building a wareroom, and seem de-
termined to make business.
The Benton City school district was
divided at the last annual meeting,
and we are to have new school
house at this place.
We also expect a new depot here
soon. We think it would have been
to the railroad company's interest to
have built depot here some time
ago.
Our nurseryman, Nr. B. F. Wylde,
has sold a great number of fruit trees
this spring. He had to import a
great number of evergreens and hedge
plants to fill his orders. Mr.. Wylde
is live man, and the people of Au-
drain will do well to patronize him.
There has been 1000 bushels of
flax seed loaned the farmers in this
immediate vicinity by Montgomery
City parties.
The fruit has not all been killed,
though it is considerably damaged by
the frost and hail.
We have heard of some losing
number of sheep by shearing too
soon.
The farmers are pretty well UP with
their work. Some are done planting
corn, and others are pushing things
to get their crop in as soon as they
possibly can. If early planting and
hard work count we will make up
what we lost last year. During the
warm weather several weeks ago there
was a great number. of chinch bugs
flying, and thousands to be seen in
the grass. Though, if We continue
to have rains we need not fear them,
as the young ones will all be killed;
but it will take the Dutchman's patent
method to kill the old ones, viz: mash
him between your finger nails.
We have spoke about the improve
ments of Benton City, now we wish
to speak about what should be rem
edied. 1t is common thing for PAL
ties come to town sober and get
drunk while there, and very often
become boisterous and profane. This
is not only common through the week,
but of Sunday ladies are liable to
meet such parties if they venture out,
and are compelled to listen to their
drunken yells and profanity if they
stay in doors. There has been no
saloon license granted anyone here,
yet it is notorious fact, and has
been for the last twelve years, that
fwhisky is sold by the drink, and until
lyou are drunk, for the money. Now,
we think it is the duty of all law-abid-
ing citizens to condemn and prose-
cute such traffic, and, rs we know
you are fearless advocate of iaw
and justice, we appeal to You to as
