hauling on the new crop, but they are compelled
TO wait for better roads, as carting now would be
death on cattle.
The condition, however, of our roads has been
altogether ignored by one planter and milI-owner
OF the district he has hauled through thick and
thin-mud, slush, and eyerythIng-caring not a
cent. for his cattle or his men, only one single
object. in yiew-the almighty dollar and me-
thinks with all this rushing, Tuning, and fussing,
there Is not anything made in the end.
Our auctioneer (Alr. Hayselden) has been kept
busy during the past week in d~isposing of, at
auction, some general merchandise brought up
by Mr.. Winston. Prices seemed satisfactory,
though the rains precluded a large attendance.
HIS Majesty the King was elected an honorary
member Of the Kohala Club at their special meet
ing. During the recent stay Of the King amongst
Us, be manifested "A strong aloha for our Club,
and those who are most active in its management,
which include the names Of Hon. James Woods,
II. T. Atkins, George f.. Holmes, and others.
HIS Majesty has been pleased to donate 800
towards the funds of the Club and His Majesty's
Chamberlain Colonel c. ii. Judd) has given his
cheque for $50 towards the Institutions it is
only too evident we must prosper. We have
now about thirty-fve members, and the Club is
considered in a most Rourishing condition fnan-
cially. 1t is rumOred that the Lehua Club will
give a grand ball at kaiOpihi very soon and if
their programme is in any way like the last. we
doubt not that the gathering will be most bril-
liant.
The kohala railroad is fast approaching com
pletion they have, so far, completed the line to
Honoipu, and Mr.. Wilder says that in another
month he will be ready to take sugar from the
mills, and pay cash for it too-if the parties
want to sell on the spot-l.e., at the sugar room.
We all look forward to making more money than
we have ever made out of sugar-raising and if
we do, we have only to thank the energy of the
man who has planned and worked out the Kohala
railway. Such a man as the Hon. S. G.. Wilder
Is one OF the greatest helps to a country like this
and it is a pity that we have not amongst US
more men of his Indomitable perseverance and
pluck. He deserves all that he can make, and |
trust that he will realize more than he ever
dreamt Of.

Marriage in the Carolina Backwoods.

A quaint-lookIng young couple, riding double
on a s. tackeY "a mountain-scrub poney) rode
into Pickens Courthouse village the other morn
ing. He had a lank tOwhead of hair, with a
tanned wiry face, and a black-brOwn wool hat
well down on his eyebrows. She had a freckled
face and a poke calico bonnet, and held him fast
by the waistband. They got off by a ~hitching-
post and shook themselves, and she pulled down
her home-spun skirt d little. They walked hand
in hand up Main-street and took a seat upon the
the front step of Squire HagOOds Office, and the
man asked for a license. As the Squire was
preparing TO make it out, the poke bonnet began
70 inch of, and hesitated, and finally said to
young toUhead, in a ~halfwhisper -
Laws a massy, Fred. l don't believe | will

said the Squire.
"Hold on thar, Mister yes. we do" said the
young cracker and he moved closer up and set
his chin to earnest work. "NOw, Luce, said
he, 'dOnt't go on thater way what 'ud the

We'll, stand up," said the Squire. "I'm

But as the ceremony was under way the girl
ierkcd back, exclaiming "I'n be doddinged eff

The Squire suggested that the license had
been given, and that they had gone most too far
to back cue now
"That's so - said Fred. Stand last, Luce !
Don't git all ine'r culver now gently taking
Ler arm. Gomez long, and stand tot; it's

horse double and rode out of town.

Chile Must Absorb Peru.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE following dispatch
to the editor of the Tribune, received yesterday
by cable from Liverpool, is from a very capable
member of Parliament (sitting for a Scotch
borough, who has also exceptional acquaintance
with the subject by reason of long residence and
large business connections on the Pacific coast
of South America - In the Chile-Peru contro-
versy, L hope the influence of your Government
may be ~salutary. Peruis morally, financially, and
politically bankrupt. She cannot indemnify Chile.
Her promises, like her bonds, are utterly worth
less. The acquisition of territory by Chile is an
accomplished fact, and in Blaine language,
wise as well as necessary The desert of
Atacama was colonized by Chileans, and draws
its sustenance naturally from Chile, and not
from Peru. Urge the Washington Government
to promote the interests of civilization and con-
stitutional government. These will best be
guaranteed by recognizing the predominating
influence of Chile, SO ably sustained by her
statesmen, and vindicated at great cost on the
field of battle. On any other lines the action of
the Washington Government may be injurious
to human progress. w. S. WILLIAMS, MP"

Great Brita1n's Hold Upon the Carrying
Trade.

The current number of the Contemporary
ReUie1c contains an interesting statistical article
on the ocean carrying trade, IN which the writer
aihrms that no other branches OF industry have
made such progress in Great Britain during the
last thirty years as the shipping interests. 1t is
maintained the improvements made IN the trans
portatiOn Of freights have led to a saving Of one
fourth in freight, and have 60 brought producers
and consumers together that few, If any, of the
earth's products are wasted. lt is shown that
the shipping OF the United Kingdom constitutes
40 per cent. Of the actual naval power Of the
world, and her shipping actually carried 80 per
cent. Of all the sea-borne merchandise of the
world for the year 1879. Tables are given in
which the foregoing statement seems to be
pretty well proved. The writer admits that if
ships were measured by tonnage the ships of
Great Britain would have but one-third of the
worlds total, but steamers have multiplied carry
ing power to a remarkable degree. The carry
ing power of a steamer was for some time esti-
mated as three-fold more than a sailing vessel.
1t is now estimated az fve-fOld. Of course, the
element Of time comes INTO calculation. A
steamer Is therefore set down as worth five times
the Tonnage Of a sailing vessel, which fact serves
20 explain the rapid decline of sailing vessels.
The following table shows the proportion of mer-
chandIse carried in the last three decades on
either kind Of shipping

KohaIa Correspondence.

MR EDrroR,-In my first letter for 1881, puO-
Iisbed in your issue of January 18th, after giving
Won various items connected with our sugar IL
serest. / concluded by saying that / placed the
entire crop of Kohala for the year 1851 at 7,oOO

much pleasure in forwarding you the yield oil the

will therefore, observe that the reckoning L
made at the beginning of the year (beiore any
IF The crop was cut) was an exceedingly close
one. coming within 10 tons OF the above hgures.
r stated in the issue above referred to that the
c-on for 1882 would approach 5000 tons OF sugar
and though almost a year has passed since you
have printed my figures, | have found no good
reason for changing my views or judgment with
regard to our new crop. Were disposed 10
make apy alteration, 1 should place the new crop
at something over 5000 tons but let II stanu at
the original figures. If we obtain the additIonal
o. per cent. and more for the crop oil 1851 why
I think that we shall be doing very well lnueet'
and it would not require more than ten SuIn GU =
puts to produce sugar enough to supply all CaI-
foruIa. The prospects for 1882 are very Dtientt !.
Our Young cane is looking very well lndeed !.

The writer presents statistics showing that the
merchant vessels lost or broken up annually re-
present a carrying power of 1000 900 tons,
while the vessels annually constructed represent
about double this amount.
When the English introduced the compound
engine in the iron screw steamer, and supple
mented that by medium-sized iron sailing vessels,
they began to revolutionize the commerce of the
world. The shipping of the United Kingdom
earns $500 900 600 yearly, and it may be sand to
control the carrying trade of the world. These
conquests have been made during the last
twenty years. In short, the commercial world is
now paying toll to Great Britain equal to 4 per
cent. of the value of the products carried by her
shiDs.

The Young ladies rendered their eral parts
admirably. Some calisthenic exerC-as were
interspersed between the dialogues. A beauti-
full and impressive tabIeau, Faith, Hope and
Charity was represented and accompanying the

unbounded delight with the excellency Of the re-
presentation, and the evidence of admirable

Sells Brothers Great shows.

Monday, October 18th, is positively the
date of the appearance of Sells Brothers
great shows in Knoxville. Hear what the
Chicago Daily Times says of an appearance
in that city recently:
The geological collection is one of rare
interest. The two hippopotami, which are
far more docile than the corn fed pig which
pursues his devious way from The stock
yards to the scene of his immolation on the
altar of commerce, are magnificent speci-
mems, whether in the ring, into which they
are introduced by their keeper, or in their
tank, in which they disport with as much
negligence as in the muddy waters of the
Nile. The two woolly elephants, which are
muItum in pGrUo SO far as name and species
are concerned, proved to be the irresistible
''mashers" of the collection. They were by
all odds the pets of the women and children
The delicate giraffe, with yard of throat
subject to diptheria and with decidedly weak
lungs, was also an object of attention on the
part of many visitors, who admired his
graceful poise and agility of movement The
double horned rhinoceros, with his Shak-
sperean brow, pig eyes and forbidding jaws
also proved an attraction, and the vast ma
jority of those who watched him munching
his fodder wondered if he were really as
fierce an animal as is usually represented on
the thrilling poster.

things in an insulting letter to him
from Harrell The latter fired be-
tween the two men and their friends,
and 40 or so shots were fired Both
the principals fell mortally wouaded.
One Of Harrelfs supports named

Eaborers Demand an Increase in
Wages.

SAN Francisco, CAL, October r.
A dispatch from Portland, Ore, says
that the laborers on the Northern
Pacific Railroad yesterday demanded
an advance of wages from 50 90 to
81. so per day. This was refused by
Mr.. Hallet, superintendent of cons
struction. All of the Cinnamon
were then driven from their work
Mr. Hallet, it is understood, tele-
graphed to Missoula for troops, but it
cannot be learned whether on not the
commanding officer furnished any.
This morning the ring leaders of the
mob threatened to hang Mr.. Hallet.
Engineer Thietsen, with the pays
master, started to the front this
morning with large sum of money
and an escort of 25 soldiers.
While the men engaged on the con
struction are, as rule, well dis
posed, there are probably 200 ex-
convicts and many fugitives from
justice in the crowd,as well as band
of desperate camp followers, and
there is good ground for fearing the
commission of acts of violence.

Robbed of $4,000.

LEBANON, Pa, October 12.-About
8 o'clock this evening Geo. D. Rise,
cashier of the Lebanon Dime Saw
Ings Bank, was robbed of a satchel
containing $4,000, all in bills He
had just returned from Philadelphia,
and before going to the bank he
stopped at his house for supper.
While on his way to the bank, after
supper, and about a square from his
house, he was passed by two men,
and directly afterward received
stunning blow, knocking him in the
gutter; He held on to the satchel
and cried murder" The robbers,
who had been beating and kicking
him all the while, fearing
his cries would bring assistance,
moved off short distance, but again
returned, and, wrenching the handle
off the satchel, succeeded in secur-
ing it. Mr.. Rise made a gallant
fight and was covered with blood.
1t has since been learned that the
struggle between the cashier and the
robbers was witnessed by George
Rohr, who was passing along the
street, but he thought it was fight
between lot of drunken men. The
robbers were seen to run into a
vacant lot near by, and were hailed
as they ran by another citizen, curi>
Gus to know the cause of their
hurry. There is no further clue.
The money belonged to the bank.
LEBANON, Pa, October 13-The
greatest excitement prevails here
to- day over the beating and robbing

in bonds and notes. The reward for
his apprehension has been increased
to 100000 Mr.. Rise is better to>
day, and though badly cut and
bruised, is in fair way of recovery.
