EDITuR GAzErE:-I would esteem 1t a special
favor if you would insert in your paper the follow
ing facts for which I will be responsible.
John Hind, Manager OF the Hawi Mill, WAS ar
rested on @ charge of maintaining an open drain
near the public road through which passed the
waste matter from the boiling house and which
was alleged was a public nuisance. The charge
was brought by Dr. Thompson. who is agent for
the Board of Health for the district. The case
was heard to-day. The Doctor testified that he
gave the owner OF tine Mill ~ days notice TO abate
the nuisance IabOut the 18th Of April but al the
time of having the case brought his order 10 have
the drain removed had not been complied with.
He was questioned rs 90 the particular evil effects
on the health of those who were brought in con-
tact OF lived near such matter as was said TO be in
the Objectionable drain complained Of, but he did
not see FIT TO throw any HIGHT ON the subject: he
simply said shat anything that had "a bad smell
was unhealthy, and that the drain IN question
skunk and that Il was against the law; he was
asked who complained of this drain being an
utense. he mentioned the names Of two men
who live about a mile of, but he afterwards said
that he should not rest the case of the prosecution
on any complaint. but should obey written in
structed he had from the Board Of Health. He did
not say what those instructions were. whether to
close mp the mill OF make the owner consume the
refuse. lie made no charge of any one being in
lured IN health by the said mill refuse but he
seemed determined TO show that he and the Board
Of Health were one in their resolve TO show their
authority. Reliable witnesses for the defense tes-
titled TO their living the said drain over five
years and knew Of no sickness caused by it, and
that both cattle and horses drunk the said obiec-
uCuul matter and seemed TO relish IL.
1t was also made clear that although the ar
rangement of the drain was much improved the
last year. and that Dr.. Thompson had made regu-
lar weekly visits TO the mill, he did not complain
of anything being wrong.
John Hind was acquitted as there was no definite
wrong proved. the court taking the view that If
people living near the place complained of were
not injured. people passing on the road could
certainly not sustain much injury 20 their health.
Nav Is. 1SS3 A resident OF hoHALA
p. SIT was also testified by the witnesses for
the defense that the matter in the drain COM
planned Of did not stink. but merely emitted a
sour smell which was not at all disagteeable.

A Wreck

Not long since one of the native Hawaiians of
this city enjoyed the confidence and esteem of his
lieCe lord TO that extent as TO cause his appoint
ment to the position of a member OF the Cabinet
Council and whose dictum to certain extent
shaped or should have shaped the financial pros
perty of the Kingdom. Fairly temperate habits
we're constrained to be kept by an existing law
declaring Hawaiians from indulgence in public
drinking; the law was changed, the ban of abstin-
ence removed and th6sSfect at once become appar-
ent by the almost constant intoNicatiOn of His
Maiesty's Minister which at last caused his
removal On last Friday this ex-AIinister, this
former beloved and honored subject of His
Majesty, was called in the Supreme Court Of the
Kingdom TO furnish certain accOuntings connected
with an estate of which His Majesty and sisters
are heirs This the administrator of the estate
was unable TO do and the failure TO comply with
the court mandate and also the intoxication on
appearance IN court of this ex- Minister, was al-
judged BY His Honor the Chief Justice case of
contempt, and the Hon. Noble Simon Kaai, ex-
Minister OF Finance, was committed 20 Oahu Jail
there to remain until such time as he could comply
with the order Of Inc court.

Boston, 20.-Some startling testimony
WAS Unexpectedly produced before The

had great difficulty 10 securing work
His reputation for veracity, however, II

some unimportsnt testimony he wa:
asked by Senator Blair il he had any
thing TO say.
"Well sir" said ne, the men complain
some about this human hide business

eightee years sgo. The business has
been increasing every day since until
lately. Three or four months ago it wss
stopped.
"What have you seen?' Inquired Sem

II have seen several whole hides Of

we're perfect, and looked as natural as

II will take the responsibility for that, :"
said the Senator, sssuringly.
"Well, guess can stsndjt. I have
seen them OF MilIer's tsnnery in Cam

"For what purposes are these hides
tanned?"
II don't know. sir."

SHEEP eRUes.

Il is suggested by the Ame,fcdn
Agricaifwrisf that the grub may be

PUMPKINS AMONG CORN.

Although some farmers reject the
long and well sustained practice of
planting pumpkin seed among the
corn, on the ground that it detracts as
much from the corn product in the
profits as il adds to the stock of prov
ender, still il is the method generally
pursued TO get crop of pumpkins.
Besides, from our own experience and
observation, we have had and seen as
good crops Of corn with as without
pumpkins. II may appear at first
thought ms If the land could not sus-
tain two full crops of anything; but
this il not SO In all cases, as in those
where the two crops do not require
the same mannrial stimulante, mas
much rs a portion of what one will
take up will not be required by the
other. OF course il requires very
good land TO raise pumpkins but even
in this case, though an extra crop of
manure may be needed, TO be applied
TO the corn ground where pumpkins
are to be planted, there will be saw
ing in the element of time, and in
stead Of one crop from the land in a
year, We gather two. The objection
that some make, that the vines shade
the ground while the ground requires
rs much heat as il can get, is not well
founded, as the corn itself furnishes
perfect shade without the vines, which
really can add little more to injure the
crop. Ii is far more probable that the
directors TO this double crop who fail
in getting all they want, owe their
lack of success to poor land OF negli-
gent cultivation, and we suggest that
they should change their system by
and cultivating more, and
then wait and Exchange.

BREEDING, AND RAISING POULTRY

A Texas correspondent of the Amer
icaa Poultry journal makes the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks on the diff
ference between breeding and simply
raising poultry:
"There Is q wide difference between
the breeder Of poultry and the person
who simply raises poultry. There are
hundreds of persons raising thorough
bred poultry who know nothing of
the principles Of mating their fowls.
They make up, perhaps, their breed
ing pens with SO many hens to cock
without any idea rs TO their affinity,
or relative qualities, and yet they ad-
vertise themselves rs breeders. Many
make no selections at all, but put all
to breeding, sell and hatch eggs from
them promiscuously from one year TO
another, and when they offer to sell
eggs ct ore dollar setting, the ordin-
airy purchaser will wonder why some
people will ask from $3.50 to $500 for
u setting of eggs for the same variety
of fowls, and in most cases they will
buy eggs from the poultry raiser, and
not the breeder. l find, however, that
the better class Of people can see the
difference rs soon rs they visit the
yard. The proper mating of the
breeding stock is the most important
principle connected with the breeding
of poultry, and yet venture to say
that il is less studied and experimental
with than any other matter connected
with the profession. Breeders, as n
rule, viii select what they consider
the best specimens they have; but
to give reason why they place GER
tain cock or cockerel in a pen with
given lot of hens and pullets cannot be
done by one in twenty. They take
the chances of raising nice fowls out
Of large number, and still they will
claim in their advertisements that they
are mated for the best results. True
they hope to have the best results, but
are unable to give reason for the
faith within them"
