A Deal With Jim Fisk.

''Never knew Jim Fisk. did you, when
he was an itinerant merchant?" asked
my friend Parker over lobster salad
the other night Parker, by che way,
knows every body worth knowing, knew
them before anyone else ever heard of
them, and knows more about them than
woman knows about the new bonnet
in the next pew. | allowed that my ac-
quaintance with the late Mr.. Fisk only
dated back to the time when took my
first deal in Erie, on the proceeds of
which lived ca prince in Paris for five
years-or less. .'You ought to have
seen him in those days" continued
Parker, warming up as the salad got in
its work. First time l met him was in
Kalamazoo. No; don't locate it in Kala-
mazoo for n joke. 1t was in Kalamazoo
that one day Jim Fisk came driving in
with his gorgeous peddler's cart. That
cart opened up and spread out and
turned itself into full dry-goods store
in less than twenty minutes. Fisk used
to trade in horses as well as in dry
goods. On this occasion he had fine
looking, spirited animal that | took a
fancy to- and | bought him for $500 and
shipped him to New York. He came
here all right. but when drove him out
he didn't seem to be quite the same sort
of beast. He had turned into dead
and-alive sort of creature. Still, went
up the road with him, and, as luck
would have it. the rain came down in
torrents before | had gone very far
You should just have seen that horse
when / got him under shelter. Gracious,
what a sight he was! He wouldn't have
known himself could he have seen him.
self. The dye had all washed out, and,
instead of the beautiful chestnut, had
a horse of another color altogether
What did do with him? traded him
off for ten tons of coal at 1925 ton.
My man told me that each ton weighed
1910 pounds. but didn't say anything.
/ had suspicion that the coal man
hadn't got the best of me, anyway

Follett's Pol1y.

Alonzo Follett, the failed New York
broker, furnishes an example of the sig
nal success that attends some of our
New England men in New York in o
business way, which only portion of
them are able to sustain. He was a
quiet boy in school and a modest young
man. His first start in business result
ed in bad failure in one of our coun-
try towns. Then he went TO New York
to live altogether, and | lost sight of
him for years. In my annual excur-
sions to the town in which he and |
were boys together, | have been shown
of late evidence of his wealth in the
form of a castle-like ediiice which he
had constructed in the midst of the
quietest conceivable rural neighborhood.
1t grew year by year When l saw it
three years ago this fall, the place was
a fear, for the eye, not SO much in the
editice itself (which was in bad taste
as in the beauty of its grounds, 20 add
to which acre after acre of pasture lan1
had been reclaimed and swamps had
been drained in all directions. And the
buying of land still went on. The viii
layers said Mr.. Follet spent over $3.50
600, and the impression prevailed that
he was not to stop until he possessed a
domain mile square. But the money
making machine is strained too tensely.
Only few days pass and the telegraph
flashes over the news of the broker S
failure. This is the end of an ambition
for great estate and of other schemes
OF perhaps greater magnitude. -DoSto,,

Fourtaen Mistakes of T,;ha

Somebody has condensed che mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the concIu-
sion that there are fourteen of them.
Most people would say, if they told the
truth, that there was no limit to the mis-
takes of ifei that they were like the
drops in the ocean or the sands of the
shore in number, but t is well to be ac-
curate. Here, thea, are fourteen great
mistakes:
1t is great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong, and
Judge people accordingly; to measure
the enjoyment of others by our own; to
expect uniformity of opinion in this
world; to look for judgment and ex-
perience in youth; to endeavor to mould
all dispositions alike; not to yield to i'm
material trifles; to look for perfection
in our own actions; to worre ourselves
and others with what c1nnot be reme-
died; not to alleviate all that needs al
deviation as far as lies in our power. not
to make allowances for the infirmities
OF others; to consider every thing i'm
possible that we cannot perform; to be-
lieye only what our finite minds can
grasp; to expect to be able to under
stand every thing. The greatest of mis-
takes is to live only for time, when any
moment may launch us into eternity.

Gold in Central America.

The recent reports of the discovery
and development of gold and silver
mines at various points in Central Amer
lea continue to excite attention. A late
issue of the Panama Star and Heralo
gives particulars of progress made in
gold mining in Antioquia and Tolima.
Some valuable mines owned by the
Columbian Government are to be sold
in December, and other mines are being
worked successfully by companies form,
ed in this country and Europe. Recent
ly number of companies have been
formed for the purpose of prospecting,
and indications grow that a swarm OF
gold-hunters will soon be rowing over
the rocky backbone of the mountains
that run along the narrow strip of ter.
ritory uniting North and South Ameri-
ca. These countries have long lain
stagnant under the sway of mixed peo-
piles that sprang up after the Spanish
conquests, but nov money. machinery
and enterprise will pour in upon them
as long as mining enterprises prove re-
muneratiye.

Courtship Among the Zunis.

Writing of life among the Zuni In
dians, Frank Ii. Cushing, of the Smith
sonian institute, says:-There were two
unmarried members of the house; a
nephew and an adopted girl. The
nephew was an over-grown, heavy
faced, thick-lipped, yellow-haired, blue
eyed blonde,-a specimen of the tribal
albinism, dandy and the darling of
the white-haired "Old Ten" One day,
after l had presented the latter with a
pane of ruined negative glass, she ven-
tured to compare her favorite with me-
My tlattering acknowledgements of this
compliment made decided winnings of
the old woman's hitherto restrained af-
fections. The governor spared this
youth no more than the others. With
characteristic irony, he called him ''The
Family Milkman," or s.The Night
Bird" the latter term referring to his
eyes, (which" the governor usually
added, ''wiggled like those of an owl
in strong sunlight" The maiden was
jolly, pretty. and coquettish-the belle
of Riverside street." Her lovers were
many, but soon, of the long row who
waited under the moonlit caves, only
one was admitted-the governor S
younger brother. my sympathetic
friend. There was but one room in the
house in which the two could hope to
be left to themselves-mine. Here they
came night after night. They paid no
attention to the lonely Me-lik in his
hammock, but sat opposite in the dark
ness on the low adobe bench, hour after
hour. stroking each others hands, gig
Cling and cooling in low tones. just like
so many of my own people of the same
age, only in different language An
occasional smack, followed by feminine
indignation, taught me the meaning of
'.Stop that!' liz Iuni, and the peculari-
ties of the Pueblo kiss. If the bIissful
pair remained too late, the slab-door
would rumble on its wooden hinges,
and the governor, preceded by lighted
torch of cedar splints, would stalk in,
and. as near as l could make out, rate
the young man soundly for his want OF
respect to the WashingtonG Me-lt-Eana,
whereupon the pair would vanish, the
maiden giggling and the young man
cursing.

1t is said that Honolulu has no

of the Number 2 sugar is labeled
as Number l. There are no labels

dirty, and passers-by help themselves
to it. There is nobody in attend

there are three. Some pulu is left
in the box in which it was sent from
Honolulu and is exposed to the
dust, and some has been placed in

up in the court and large piece
has been torn out of it, evidently by
some visitor. There are some good
things in the court, but it has been
neglected. H ll I

praiseworthy Of ladies and gentle
men to give their services gratui-

performers, if they have music at
heart, will always thank newspaper
for pointing out their faults. A
true musician is always pleased to
learn where he or she fails, and it is
to the press, which should have able
critics, that they look for their short
comings. am told that it has been
the custom in Honolulu to praise
everybody, and it is because you did
not do so, in your notice of Satur-
