Mr.. ED1ToB:-On the part of many of those
who We're agreeablye entertained at the "Sociable'
at Fort Street Church school room last Thurs
day week, 1 would like to say that We hardly
think it fair in the Gazette to report the names
of all but one of those who contributed to our
enjoyment. Mrs. E. r. Hendry's reading, with
which the programme closed, was very much en-
joyed, and we thank her and all the others for
a pleasant evening. MANY.

Pro is generally esteemed the chief
curse of this community, but we are in
elined to doubt this aud think that the
spirit Of " Islander" is the pre-eminent curse,
especially of Honolulu society The spirit
of Invention Of evil against our ~neighbors is
fully equalIed by the ocredulity that swat
lows every vileness that is produced i'm the
street. and then belches il forth for further
swallowing and disagreement. We are led
to this reflection, not by any recent occur
renee, but by "a continued succession of
events which have given exercise TO this
pitiless spirit of Islander which curses Homo
lulu society. Leprosy, as a general thing,
only affects the poor, ignorant and de-
graded i'm life, whereas SANDER Is the bone
of our best society. Educated men and wo-
men protesting Christian principles and
owl faith in the redemption by a
Savior whose apostle inculcated the divine
charity that "thinketh no evil" will not
hesitate to listen to and repea the Vllest
stories, attributing the meanest ana most
atrociOus actions to a ~neighbOr or a brother
or a sister. 1t is recorded of a certain fa-
nous pirate that he delighted when IN a
company of confederatesto put out the Ilghts
and in the darkness to- fire shots ana STAB

our respectable people, some OF our we'll

crimes of adultery, of Illicit Intercourse OF

their statements, and who would be equally

The Rev. DR.. j. S. Kennard, OF
Chicago, in a recent sermon said that
he did not believe i'm the saying "God
made the country, but man made the
town." Humanity's greatest pos
sibilities were shown in the city.
There the simple propensities exhibit
ed themselves in the strongest light.
In the country a sinful nature, like an
insulated fi,ebrand, soon burned out
and was comparatively harmless. In
the city these human firebraRds were
placed so closely together that the fire
Of each fed that of the ether, and as q
consequence the evil in human nature
reached its intensest manifestation.
But, on the other hand. it was in the
large cities where the noblest impulses
of the heart showed themselves 10 the
greatest degree. The greatest reform
atory movements the world has known
originated with and we're fostered by
those whose lives have developed in
the intensity of city life.

Silence On Tap,

The latest wonder of the world has
been discovered in the Yellowstone
park, by a person named James Car
roll, who is said to be reputable cit.
izen Of Helena, Montana.
Carroll says he was in deep gorge.
Around him was q scene of grand
eur, towering cliffs and verdant veg
citation. He sat down to wait for his
friends, who were to follow him into
the gorge. Everything was quiet.
The stiffness was oppressive. He deter
mined to break the silence, but he soon
found that he could not even make a
crack in it. He called on his friends.
He called again, and nearly shouted

not hear the sound of his own vo ice
A panther was passing. Carroll seized
his rifle and fred at the animal.
Smoke came out of the rifle, and the
panther crawled away, wounded and
bleeding, but no report came from the
rife no sound reached CAROLS ears.
If CAROLS statement was not sub
stantiated by the evidence of others,
We would believe that he was suffering
from a temporary deafness, or whis-
key, or that re had cotton in his ears.
but that hypothesis won't work, for
his friends followed him Tito the gorge,
and there they all stood and became
red in the face. and got sore threats,
in their efforts to have communica tien
with each other. But not sound
could they hear. The place was SO
packed full Of silence that they could
not hear pin drop. and they had to
use signs and the deaf and dumb al
phabet to express tieir establishment.
They explain that some peculiarly in
the atmosphere there makes it a nom
conductor of sound. They claim that
the silence was so dense that a fog
horn wouldn't break it, nor q con-
kressional candidates speech make an
impression on it.
If this is true, and we have no rea-
son to doubt the statement of Carroll
and his companions, . long felt want

in which it can be utilized. A great

youth bad fallen passionately in love
with young English girl IF SURPRISING
beauty, the daughter of a London
tradesman. His love was returned.
but the girl was as vir; uOus as she was
fair, and The Empress greatly feared
that her son would do what he threat

low-bOrn maiden. When his mother
demonstrated with him, he turned
npon her with some home truths res
pectipg the Moniiio family and the
difference in rank between herself aud
his rather. And so the Empress plan
ned for him that fatal expedition with
the English army which ended in so
tragic fashion. Among the articles
taken from the poor boys dead body,
and brought to his mother, was a
picture in small morocco case which
he bad worn upon bis breast, and which
was stained with bis life-blood. 1t was
the portrait Of the girl that he bad

A Spider Shares q Snake.

Things are constantly occurring that
