"Ihc press" says Chambers
journal, "is every year becoming
a greater power in tho land; it IS
already one of the greatest re-
sources Of civilzation,' and VIC
might rs soon try to get along
without steam or railways or the
post office, as without our news
papers. If we arc to have ncws-
papers we must have editors to
direct them, and the editors must
march with or in advance of
the times There is therefore
good reasons to hope that better
things are in store for the coming
generation Of journalists than there
have been for those that arc gone,
and that on the newspaper press
the best talent, tho maturest iudg-
mcnt and the most cultivated taste
will yet find congonial and appro-
pirate work."

BEST DIsINFEcTANT. The
earth itself, says tho Rural Mess
enger, is the best Of all disinfcct-
ants. This is owing to tho anti.
septic and deodorIzing properties;
it is porus in the highest degree
and readily transmits air through
its surface, and SO changes to

not act so rapidly, or rather it's

Worth Her Weight in Gold,

A few years ago steamer was coming
from California. The cry of "Fire fire u
suddenly thrilled every heart Every effort
was mado to stay the flames, but 10 vain
The burning mass was headed for shore,
which was not far off. A passenger waa
seen buckliug his bolt Of gold around his
waist, ready to plunge into tho waves.
just then pleading voice arrested him
with:
"Please, sir, can you swim7"
a child's bluo eyes were piercing into
his deepest soul as he looked down upon
her. .aa.s
"Yos, child, can swim"
"Woll, sir, won't you please savo mc?"
"I cannot do BOTH" he thought. II
must save tho child and loso tho gold
But a moment ago was anxious for the
whole ships company, Now am doubling
whether ] shall exchange human life for
paltry gold"
Unbuolling the belt he quickly cast it
from, him and said:
"Yes, littlo girl; I will try to save you"
STOPPING down, he bado her clasp her
arms around his neck.
"Thus, ohild," said ho-."uot so tight
as to choke mc. There, hang on now, and
will try to make tho land
The child bowed herself on his broad
shoulders and olung to her deliverer.
With heart thrice strengthened and an
arm, thrice nervod, he struck out for tho
shore. Wave after wave washed over
them. Still tho bravo man held out and
the dear child held on, until mighty
mountain biilow swept the sweet treasure
from his embrace and cast him senseless on
the bleak rocks. Kind hands ministered
to him. Recovering his consciousness the
form of tho dear child met his earnest gaze,
bonding over him with more than angel
administrations and bessing him with mute
but eloquent benedictions.

THE SESSION OF 1882.

By all it is conceded that the Legislature Of
lss2 will be one OF unusual Importance, as for
influencing for good or for evil the destiny ofthis
Kingdom. We have arrived at that particular
point where, as regards some of the most solid
interests of the community, mite Of wise
legislation may so q long way to enhance our
general progress and prosperity; but where at
the same time bad or unwary Legislation may
involve us in troubles of q serious nature.
The rapid growth of enterprise, novel in many
respects, and which has involved an enormous
monetary outlay, is something that needs care
full and confederate nurture in the way of ap-
propriate legal provision, to avoid financial
crises. We have seme able men in tho Legis-
lature, who are fully competent to deal with
questions affecting US in this way, and can
only hope that thoy may have weight with tho
majority who will rule.
For the avoidance Of trouble, our political
relations will need careful investigation ano
wise adjustment and measures not strictly
internal to us will need an amount OF forest ght
and care, of which, under more propitious cir
cumstances, We might with less certainty Of
grave consequences, once have been better
able to view with compartive unconcern,
Then, too, there seens TO DO an important
scheme adoat, for the success Of which wires
are already being pulled. We refer to a propo-
sition. the details Of which, though not ye,
made public, will seriously affect our public
sanitary measures either for good or for evil.
An important subject is here involved, and
one mol. without certain political significance,
which will need that those most interested in
the public welfare should hs alert aud ready
with all the armor and weapons eligible in
the eoptest Judging from what has trans
pired in open expressions through the Pass,
and the more secret and widespread dissatis-

JAPANESE LABORERS.

Japan is again spoken Of as u source from
which to secure laborers tor our plantations
While they might be desirable field hands, wo
do not see any prospect of inducing u consid-
eralbo number of those people to como to cur
shores. Tho Japanese Government has not
shown itself in favor Of such move, and tho
Envoy from the Emperor Of that country, re-
Gently here, studiously avoided saying any
thing that could lend any real encouragement
to the hope Of securing immigrants from Japan,
although hc promised to lay tho matter before
his sovereign.
Inquiries have recently been mado in regard
to this matter from persons in Japan, but moth
ing has been learned that would stimulate an
effort to draw upon that country for labor
The following letter, received by a gentleman
on Hawaii from leading firm in Yokohama,
we are permitted to publish ain reply to
your letter of December goth an attempt was
m ado some little time ago to send some Jap
ancse laborers to Peru, but the Government
interfercd and would not permit them to 60
Since then there has been no change, and We
do mol think that there is any chance of OBJ
tanning the permission Of the Government fol
laborcrs to 20 to your Islands"

PREMATURE BURIAL,

- real case Of hufyng alive nayh the
London Lancet, :" hnn taken place at Naples,
Some time ago u woman wna inferred with the
ununl ceremonies. and aoon nfierwnfd the grave
In which nho had been doposiod having hoon
opened for the reception Of another body,
there were presented appearances which proved
beyond doubt that tho woman was not dead
when buried. She Ind torn her clothes 10
piooea and fractured her imba In hor oiIofta TO
release heraeli nftor recovering consciousness.
The Appeal Court of Naples has juat son
fenced the doctor who signed tho death cor
tihonto, and the mayor who sanctioned the
intorment, respectively TO three month"; I'M
prisonmcnt for involuntary manplaughtor"
We had occasion aomo time aimee to remark
upon the subject of haety burials, and the alb
neneo Of legal provision for the oortihcation of
tho cause of death, or ut least tho fact that
liio was extinct prior to Nh authorization TO
inter Facts like that above quoted auggost
tho necessity of nomo regulation by which tho
| possibility Of such occurrences should bo pro-
vided against in our community. Thoy oro
sufficiently frequent even where death oertif-
catca are required by law. How much more
| likely then Ia their occurrence hero, whore no
such provisions exat, II our memory is mol
| defective, case did occur here not n great
while since, whom coffin waa unoArthed and
upon tho lid being removed II was found that
the snpino position In which the supposed
corpse had bocn buried had been changed il
tho interval, and it waa found face down, W,
remember also of case where, Tor sovora
days together, death wna simulated in cas-,
of hystcrioal or cataloptic coma, ovontuatinG
in recovery
Cases of this kind are OF sufficiently frequen
occurrence, and sufficiently horrible in lhei
nature, to demand the attention OF enlightone,
people and tho probability must bo maniies
that many cnscs of this kind do actually occu
where but few are found. Many are inferred
but few cxhumod and If wo take the ratio o
cases TO the small number of those that ar
dug up, and allow the same ratio in regard 4
the largo number who arc never uncarthed
it would mako an ugly showing in deed,
Involuntary manslaughtcr" might oitc
bo prevented, and voluntary manslughtcr, o
murder, in certain cases, bo exposed by tn
regulation of burials. Ignorant people ar
poor judges between the aotualty of death an
it's stimulation by disease, as they also arc be
tween tho probability OF its occasion by natura
diseases or by poison. II ia these facts tina
have given rise in other countries to the prac
tico of "viewing the dead; and such fact
should provoke among us community tn
tendency to initiate in this particular tho hu
mano and enlightened custom of other lands.
