CAPTAIN CRossLEY' LETTER TO Mr..
HIBBEN, OF CINCINNATI, FATHER
OF ONE OF THE MISSING BOYS.

Through the courtesy of Mr..
Atherton we are enabled to publish
the following letter which appeared
in the New York World.
KELUNG, Formosa, Aug. 16, '83.
MY DEAR SIR: 1t is with sad
heart that l feel compelled 10 give
you an account of the calamity that
has befallen us. On the 31st of Ju-
ly, while near the Island of Agin-
court, there being at the time but a
light air of wind and sea smooth, l
thought best to send my son and two
men to see if there were any outlying
danger, as the ship appeared to be
drawing near the island, and your
son desiring to accompany them
came and asked me for the privilege
of going with them, and as he had
been out before in the same boat
and as / apprehended no danger,
gave permission.

water and provisions in the boat
enough to last them several days.
Before leaving the ship | told Mr..
Crossley that if he saw any thing
like reefs or rocks to wave flag in
the direction should keep the ship
and when he saw the ships ensign
go up to return Immediately. After
the boat had nearly reached the is
land he waved his flag, as ] under
stood it, to keep a little more off,
and at the same time, say about
11.3O A. NJ, l found the ship drift
ing by and set my flag for the boat
to return and tried to get the ship
about to keep as near as possible to
them, but the tide, which before had
not been noticed, seemed to drift us

At the conclusion of the baseball
match on Monday the two teams met
at the hotel, when the health of the
victors and vanquished visitors was
cordially responded to. AT the in
vitation of the Honolulu B. B. Club,
the representatives of Spreckelsville,
and their gallant supporter, adjourned
to the local Astor House, where
supper was partaken of, and several
vocalists entertained the company
with songs, the choruses of the Maui
nine being especially admired for
their harmony. After the supper
the mines again met and perambula-
ted quietly through various portions
OF the city, ending their strolls at
Emma Square, where the band was
discoursing sweet music, giving a
hearty encore to the Southern
Breeze" to which Mr.. Berger kindly
responded. Subsequently most of
them adjourned to private apartments
and the health of Spreckelsville was
again proposed, the cheers with
which it was greeted almost raising
the roof. Captain Coffee responded
briefly, thanking the Honolulu re-
representatives. for their kindness, and
saying that, though vanquished they
were not disheartened, and intended
to regain their laurels on their own
ground. He then proposed the
health of the Honolulu nine, to
which Captain Whitney responded,
saying, that his men had done their
level best and had won; while he
sympathized with the losers he was
glad that he was victor, and he
would be pleased, next season, to
take team to Maui. Mr.. Lucas
said that he could not allow this
friendly gathering to part without
expressing the appreciation which
his (the Maui) side felt for the
voluntary kindness of Mr.. w. H.
Cornwell who had come with them
and encouraged them all through
their trials. Mr.. Cornwell said that
what he had done was pleasure to
him and he felt proud at the manner
in which his own boys had conducted
themselves. One of the light-w weights
contributed to the amusement of the
company by showing his ability to
dis member a table. One aud all
expressed the opinion that the re-
presentatives of Spreckelsville were
as pleasant and gentlemanly team
as could be met with in any quarter
of the globe, and, though cheer-fully
parting with them fondly hoped once
more to meet them in the field.

RECIPROCITY.

EDITOR BULLETIN: THE article
headed Sugar Commission" taken
from the s. r. Merchant, that ap-
peared in your paper of the Goth,
contains truths which should not be
lost sight of, bearing, as they do, on
the continuation of the Reciprocity
Treaty, so conducive to Hawaii's
prosperity.
The writer, friend to reciprocity,
and desirous of extending American
influence, while descanting on the
large and increasing American in
terests here, incidentally. mentions
that the official classes, other than
the pure Hawaiian, are mainly Amer
ican or of American descent.
Surely this last truth should disarm
opponents of the present government,
but, then, some of the loudest are
said to be of British birth; but how
is the distaste among Americans for
the Premier and his policy to be ac-
counted for. Seeing that under his
rule more has been done to promote
American interests than ever before
in so short time :?
He has managed to get rid of near
ly every individual of British birth
holding office, not even excepting
one very near the throne; and, if
left alone, will probably rid himself
of the remaining few in short time.
Thus, twill be seen, that he deserves
support, and not hard words from
those, to serve whom, he is straining
his utmost abilities, and no doubt he
will receive it when his efforts are
appreciated. At any rate, it can
not be said by opponents of reciproc-
ity in the United States, that he is
not drawing closer the ties that bind
Hawaii to them. SPECTATOR.

The Greatest ebelisk.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Cleveland Leader writes: The
Washington monument is the Won
der of Washington, and it's beauty the
admiration of both Americans and
foreigners. Already over 350f feet high,
it rises from the banks of the Poto'
mac a great marble shaft, piercin G
the clouds, and backed against the
blue of the sky. 1t is already the
grandest obelisk the world has ever
seen, and in the aons of the future,
should the nations of to-day pass
away, leaving no more record of their
progress than the mighty ones of the
Egyptian past, it will surpass the
pyramids in the wonder of it's con-
struction. 1t is already higher than
the Third Pyramid, and within a hun
bred feet of the size of the second.
1t is taller than st. Peters Cathedral,
and when finished it will be the high
est structure in the world. To-day
the Cathedral of Cologne, 512 feet
high, is the tallest work in the world.
Next comes the Great Pyramid, 4S3
feet high; the Strassburg Cathedral,
473 feet; then the Second Pyramid,
453 feet; then st. Peters $50; st.
Stephens at Vienna, 443; and st
PauIs at London, 1874.

TRANSMISSION of BleOd.

The Presse of Vienna lately de-
scribed an operation of the above kind
successfully carried out by Prof.
Nothangel in conjunction with Herr
Ritter Won Hacker. On account of
the unsatisfactory results recently
obtained in using human and
lambs blood, it was resolved IL
try a better method already sug-
gested by several Psychologists. This
consisted of a solution of common
salt of O.6 per cent. rendered alkaline
by two drops of concentrated solu-
ton Of soda. The patient treated on
this occasion was a young man who was
in imminent danger from weakness
of the heart, consequent upon the
loss Of blood BY reason of an abscsss
in the stomach. An incision was
made in a vein in the upper part Of
the arm, and BY means Of a funnel
shaped reeeptacle,about two pints and
three-quatrers Of the fluid in question
were introduced into the system o.
the patent, who is now expected tc
recover.

Oil From Sunfiower Seeds.

The sunfower has long been grown
for it's oil! seeds in Russia and India,
and the cultivation has been more re-
Gently taken up in Germany and Italy,
The plant grows readily in most soils,
but prefers light, rich, calcareous land,
unshaded by trees. In Russia the
seed is drilled into line IS inches
apart and the plants are thinned out
to 80 inches apart in the rows, thus
giving about 1000 plants in an acre.
The quantity of seed required for an
acre is four to six pounds, and the
sowing takes in September October,
the crop being ready to harvest in
February. In England it is re-
commended to be planted 6 inches
apart and 1 inch deep, and to be
earthed up when l foot high, requir-
ing no subsequent attention. The
yield of seed is much increased by
topping the plants; and the best fer
tilizer is old mortar. Each plant
produces about ], 900 seeds, chiefly on
the main head.
Experimental culture in France
gave a return of Its pounds of seed,
yielding Is per cent of oil CTS
pounds), and 50 per cent of cake,
from an acre; but the product varies
considerably according to soil, climate,
and cultivation, and the average may
be roundly stated at SO bushels Of
seed. The percentage of oil to seed
ranges from Is to %; and that OF
husk to kernel from Al to 60.
The Italian cultivation is confined
to the neighborhood of Piove and
Conegliano, in Venetia. In Russia
the plant is most extensively grown
in Kielce and Podoia, and the district
of Birutch, in Voronej; the produc'
ton of seed is now estimated al
100000 pools (of SO pounds), from
all area of $4,000 dessatines (of 49,.
OCT square yards). In Tartary and
China it is cultivated in immense
quantities, but no actual statistics are
available. In India (Mysore) l acre
of land gives III cwt. of seed, which
yields Is gallons of oil, which is there
compared with ground nut oil, and
applied to the same uses. The Rus
sian is expressed on the spot, and the
oil is largely employed for adulterating
| olive oil. The purified oil is consid
cred equal to olive and almond oil FOL

plications of the oil are for wooler
dressing, lighting, and candle anC

remarkable Presence Of Mind.

There were half dozen OLD ieiioWs
sitting on bench in the Seventh
Ward Park talking on various sub,
iects, and finally they began to tell
stories as to the wonderful feats and
nresence of mind they had witnessed.
One old gentleman told OF the build
ing of a mill down in York State
where number of upright posts had
10 he nut into about six feet OF water
with the end resting on the rocky bot
tom. In lowering one OF these posts
the end became tangled in the coat
tail of a man in d boat who was
steadying it, and took him to the
bottom, but before he could get I'M
tangled he was pinned fast under six
feet of water. with wonderful pres
ence of mind" said the story teller,
"he slipped out of his coat and came
up. His coat remained under the
post"
A lean, lank-looking fellow who
had been listening came up, saying:
"That's q remarkable incident, but
nothing to what l saw right here in
Milwaukee Bay about thirty years
ago." .
"What is it?" asked all the party
at once.
"Well, you see the end of the pier
over there? l was out there IN boat
with a friend. We had started out
for a fish and had taken our guns
along to shoot ducks, if any should
happen along, which was a common
thing in those days. Well, we hadn't
been there very long before l, in some
way, lost my powder horn over board
and it sunk in thirty feet of the water.
There it lay on the bottom in plain
sight. My friend said he would dive
for it. tried to persuade him not
to, but he was determined. l noticed
he didn't take off his powder horn
and before I could call attention to it,
he was in the water. l waited about
twenty minutes"
"Twenty minutes!" they all ex-
claimed.
"That's the exact time, my friends.
held my watch in my hand and
timed him. After twenty minutes l
began to get a little nervous and
looked over the side of the boat an
what do you think I SAW"
81 suppose your friend lay on the
bottom of the lake drowned" ven
tured one.
"No, you are wrong. Here is where
he showed his presence of mind and
dirty, thieving disposition. There he
sat on the bottom OF the lake pouring
the powder our of my horn into his $
own and whistling. That's what l
consider a remarkable incident of a
mans presence of mind"
No reply was made by any OF his
listeners, but each one quietly got up,
looking susp;ciously at the story tell
er, and left him alone, master Of the
situation.

about twenty feet distant. Mr.. A.
NJ. Trust, who attempted to separate
the contestants, was severely cut ID
the muscle of the left arm by Odum,
inflicting wound about half an inch
deep and seven inches long. Both
parties were placed under arrest and
an affidavit was made against O.lum
for assault with a deadly weapon
with intent to kill aud murder.
After having his wonud dressed
Sheriff Teal started with Odum to
put him in jail. While he was I'M
locking the door Odnm broke and
ran, whereupon the sheriff opened
fire upon him with his revolver,
shooting four times without effect. A
lively chase ensued in which dozen
or more joined, and the prospect for
his escape was fair had not Deputy
Lacroix headed him off with a drawn
pistol, when Odum threw mp bis
hands and surrendered, and was Ia
ken back to Jail.
