+. III. Phelps at Honolulu.

HclpS OC AAOhOAuku.
A letter was received here yesterday
from Fred. H. Phelps, formerly of the
Mint, dated Honolulu, Sandwich
Islands, the 10Th instant, whence he
went in search Of health. Last year he
was very ill in this city with pneu-
monia, and in consequence was COM
PEELED to seek milder climate. He
moved to California, but even that
climate was too harsh for him. At
Honolulu his health appears to have
been greatly benefited. He speaks of
that city and its people in rapturous
terms. From his description one would
think that 1t is fairy land. King Kali
akaua is having a new palace erected,
which, Phelps says, will be good enough
for any monarch to dwell in. In the
event that his health continues to i'm
prove and business opportunity pre-
sents itself; he may settle there.

Lots Of EN-.

At this early stage the APPEAL can
already name two dozen citizens of this
county, who, at present, contemplate
submitting their names before the
County Convention the coming Fall.
BY the time the political pot begins to
simmer there will perhaps be fifty self
sacrificing men announcing themselves
as willing to serve the people of Ormsby
county. It is more than likely that
those who inaugurate the campaign SO
early will be left out in the cold.

THE NATIONS DEAD.
JESSIE BUTLER.

Stand calm and silent, with uncovered head,
And hands all filled with flowers OF merry
May;
The sweetest flowers are emblems of our dead,
Who in their beauty, sweetiy passed away.
Bring here no tinsel-glittered gaudy show,
Or mimic thunders Of the marshalled host;
Their youthful hearts are sleeping calm below
Their ears no more list at the watchers post.
Come, gentle mourners, to these silent graves,
As come the Nations to their sacred shrnes,
Come as the murmuring wavelet gently laves
Potomacs banks, where Washington reclines.
Come not in sorrow, but in hottest pride
That your young heroes like a rampant stood,
And in the Justice of their cause relied,
Built on mans universal brotherhood.
Sing softly, do not weep Ger heroes slain;
Their bodies sleep, but they can never die;
If We are worthy ye shall meet again
Their souls in fairer, better homes on high
Drink deep the lessons that their deeds have
given,
To live or die in dutys toughest road;
This is the gate to every hero's heaven,
In this, he climbs up nearer to his God.
There in the great beyond, no brothers hand
Shall WELD the fatal weapon to destroy;
And death shall never com in that dear land,
Where all earth's heroes drink their ill OF
Joy

A Reasonable Excuse.

A few days since q special venire of
citizens summoned to try particular
cause, was returned to Judge Ferral and
after the clerk had called the names the
Judge said:
Gas there is great difficulty in securing
jurors, will say that those persons sum-
moned will try but one case; therefore
the court will not accept any but legal
excuses, and if there are any who have
such excuses, they will step forward, be
sworn by the clerk, and the court will
hear what they have to say"
In response, about dozen came for
ward, and the excuses they offered were
that they either lived in Oakland or
were not ciizens in the United States.
When the last one in the line came up
to the Judges bench, the Judge asked
him:
"Live in Oakland?"
mo, sir, +"
mot citizen of the United States?"
"No, sir, -"
"Well, if you don't live in Oakland,
and are citizen, what is your excuse?"
"My excuse is, that if am called on
to serve on this jury, I might as we'll
commit suicide"
'You must not do that" replied the
Judge.
"Well I don't want to, but mean that
if have to serve, / would have to close
up my place OF business, and be unable
to earn living for my family, and when
I have come to that / might as we'll be
dead"
The excuse was deemed sufficient
one, and the citizen was allowed to go.
