sunbosts At his back. They took position In

Hill, and from this spot they sent their NOR :

One of the shells fell in front Of . Brigadier-

came rolling to their very feet. Like light
ming each Of the trio threw himself fat on
the ground, rolled over once or twice, and
then hugged the ground and waited. They

THs HAWAIIAN IsIIs.

Advices to May 18th have been received
from Honolulu.
A successful Art Loan Exhibition has
taken place at Honolulu.
A serious accident occurred at Waiakea,
on Hilo, recently. An unusually large
number Of plantation hands, about forty,
got on the car on which they had been in
the habit of riding home down track Of
considerable grade, and as they allowed it
to go too fast, it soon got under such head
way that they were unable to stop or check
it. The car finally jumped the track and
threw the men off in rocky spot. One
Cinnamon was killed, one fatally hurt, and
thirty-three were more or less injured.
The petitions before the Hawaiian Gov.
ernment for appropriations for roads and

A HINT TO HoUsEKEEPERs.-Ar retail
butcher in New York says " The New
York public haven't much discrimination.
I often laugh at the foolish way which peo-
pie will.rusf for the most expensive cuts.
Everybody wants to buy prime RIB roasts
and porterhouse and sirlion steaks, with
plenty Of tenderloin. You can't persuade
them that the chuck roast of good beef,
Mhich is from ) cents to cents pound
cheaper than the prime cut, is just as good
eating. And you couldn't make them be-
lieve If you took your affidavit to it, tina:
the tenderloin is neither as nutritious
nor as juicy as the round. You have no
idea how nearly unanimous is the demand
for these particular pieces. We often have
difficulty in selling the other portions Of
the beef, which is just as good, at half the
price. Even when we put it down to lesl
than it costs us on the hoof, when we have
large stock to carry, we can scarcely sell
it. Beef is going to be still higher, and
If you'll take hint from me you car
save money by buying chuck roasts of good
beef which has been kept ten days in th,
ice. house, and steaks from the tender sid,
Of the round or from the end of the loin
It's Just the same with mutton. Every
body wants the rack for broiling. Now
there's only about ten or twelve pounds O
rack in the whole sheep, and OF course it i
dear. We can't give away the neck an,
! end pieces Of the ribs sometimes"

VIGOROUS ADVICE.

A young lady writes from Lansing. Ia,
to q Western editor, as follows /" love u
young man who is very attractive and
pleasant when sober, but at times he gets
drunk. He wants me to marry him, and
says he will quit drinking if will become
his wife. You are man OF experience,
quick to give advice. Will you please ad-
wise me in the premises ? have no father
to consult, and, therefore, come to you"
Whereupon she receives the following
advice, which it must be admitted, while
being particularly sound, is more forcible
than elegant 1--WE advise you to get into
your coffin, pull the lid down and be buried
alive rather than marry man who gets
drunk, as your torture will be less and you
will be quicker out of your misery. There
are now in the world too many broken,
crushed, disheartened wives with poor, pit
iless, worthless, drunken husbands who
make home hell. Too many weak, worn,
wicked, worthless wrecks who love liquor
for the opportunity that it gives them
to get on drunks, associate with other
loafers, dirty their garments and wallow IN
the gutter. If you do not wish to get into
q coffin, tie piece Of sinking meat IN
your bosom SO you will always have IL
there TO smell OF ana 70 fuD up Asainss
you, and you will be as happy and con-
tented as you ever can be with droozliDg,
slobbering, mumbling, grumbling, incoher-
ent, gutter seeking wretch of humanity Tor
husband, or rather dead weight or dis.
grace-that is if you are sensitive and
womanly in your nature as we believe you
to be. We have seen and been acquainted
with hundreds of wives Of drunken hus.
bands, but never yet saw happy one.
Let the man who is on his way to rum
90 it alone, or in company with some
other foolish person, but go you not
with him. 1t is the duty of every person
to live as clean, happy, progressive life
as possible, and to get into the next con-
ditiou of life in as good condition as pos
sible. Life was originally intended for
study and growth and not for regrets and
atonements."

LorarElLows "sKELBroN IN ARmoa,

Sam Ward, in the 'sNorth American
Review tells this story of Longfellows
Skeleton in Armor:'' After breakfast
he told me that he had recently written
poem which smiled to him. but which his
habitual counselors and comprehensive,
/ presume. were Charles Sumner, G. C.
FELTON, and Georges Hillard--had frowned
upon as beneath the plane of his previous
lyrical performances. He then proceeded
to read me "The Skeleton in Armor,"
which 30 stirred my blood that | took the
manuscript from his hands and read it to
him with more dramatic force than his
modesty had permitted him to display.
This may have been presumption on my
part, but remember when l came to the
crescendo.

Sails the fierce co;morant,
Seeking some rocky haunt
With his prey laden;
So toward the open main,
Beating TO sea again
Through the wild hurricane,

he sprang to his feet and embraced me. The
doubling Thomases were at discount that
morning. This poem revealed to me his
methods of work. After the emotions of
mutual satisfaction had subsidized, he told
me that ne had carried the scheme in his
head ever since the previous summer. when,
after having visited, with cavalcade of
my brothers and sisters-among whom was
the present Mrs. Julia Ward Howe-the
skeleton in armor, dug up at Taunton, and
then visible In museum at Fall river
since burned to the ground-he challenged
my sister, in their home gallop over the
Newport beaches, to make poem out of
the rusty hauberk and grim bones they had
been inspecting. "That, said he, twas
nearly year ago, and the poem only
flashed upon me last week." 1t will be
remembered that the closing scene is laid
I" In that tower
Which 70 this very hour
Is looking seaward."
I proposed to take the manuscript to
New York and sell it for not less than $50
On my return thither my first visit was to
the poet Halleck, at his desk in the dingy
counting house Of the primeval John Jacob
Astor. in Prince street. We had often
talked about Longfellow, and Halleck felt
and displayed lively appreciation of his
genius, which he denied to the English
laureate, whom We all venerate. The old
poet was delighted with this new effusion of
his younger lyrical brother, and knowing
this value of his opinion in the eyes of our
literai, asked him to express his admira-
ton in few brief words at the foot Of the
manuscript. If remember rightly the
inscription ran 81 unhesitatingly pro-
nounce the above to be, in my opinion,
Professor Longfellow's finest effort" This
was duly signed, and l rushed down to
Louis Gaylord Clarke, of the Knickerbocker
