4 thorough inspection of the large number of
Portuguese immigrants, which are now quar-
tered in the immigration depot shows them to be
in a healthful condition, and contented and
happy. They have been engaged in washing
up since their arrival and now present a
very cleanly appearance. An abundance Of
wholesome and substantial food is provided for
them from day to day and they seem hearty, and
pleased with their prospects. Owing to the
failure of the orange and grape crop in the
Azores archipelago where they came from, the
whole population of those islands are anxious to
emigrate to Hawaii. Thus what is a loss to
Azores is a gain TO us. These Portuguese
are likely to prove the most reliable and
valuable immigrants that can be obtained for
purposes of repopulati n and industrial enter
prise. They are dOcile and accustomed TO a
climate very similar to ours. Their women are
prolific, chaste and used to toll. Besides the
Portuguese are not given, as a class, to intern
perance or sedition. They are contented with
a fair living and always saving and thrifty. Be-
yond a doubt those immigrants will prove a very
valuable acquisition both as laborers aud as
inhabitants of the country. And it would be
well to take advantage of the crop failure in the
Azores, and the present consequent inclination
of the people there to e~migrate TO these Islands,
by providing passage for as many more as can
be readily employed here.

Those fortunate individuals who happen to
know when the inter-island steamers arrive, and
choose 10 take the trouble to be on hand as the
freight comes ashore, often secure some nice
thiugs brought from the other islands TO sell
here. The other morning, for example. a lot of
Maui pOIatOes-thaE which there are none nicer
came, were seen, and bought up instanter.
There was only about eight sacks, but they were
very nice and very reasonable in price. The
party who brought them down has promised to
let the public know-through our Advertising
columus-when another lot will be here.
And now. a member of tine Employment Bu-
reau Committee of the Y. NJ. C. A. comes to US
declaring he Is not mad and making explanations.
He has done immense service in behalf of the
unemployed applicants for work, considering the
low class 20 which he says they generally be-
long. He has sent many of those who applied
TO him for employment to the useful and we'll
conducted Office of Mr.. J. f. Wiseman. He has
secured work for immense numbers, although,
unfortunately, he has forgot all their names ex-
c"pt q single one. He has never treated appli-
cauts for employment arrogautly or rudely, eI-
cept, perhaps, when he was too busy aud they
bothered him and interfered with his business.
IN IL, Sc instances, which were more or less nu-
aue-S.s because he Is always very busy, he has
toll wis applicants. who hung around his store
To ; cali again when he was disengaged, or
whel they were d~ilatory and yet importunate in
- &ng what they wanted, he asked them a little
sharply /" What they could do?" But that was
all. As a member of the committee he has done
everything in his power that was compatible
with his business interests according to the
measure of his wealth which, he complains, Is
nos so great as that of other members of the EN-
plcyment Committee. All this is gratifying to
kIFjw, and suggests the idea that one of the first
meves towards reforming the Employment Blu
re- u should be the appointment of gentlemen on
tn committee, who have the leisure to attend
~pr6perly and courteously to the applicants for
work.

AS it is matt er of Importance to
those who believe in the efficacy of
mad stones to cure hydrophobia, the
following is copied from the San An
tonic Express:
Clifford Roberts, a young English
man, and carpenter by trade, called
at the Office of the Express last night
to say that he was the possessor of a
genuine mad stone, and will demon
strate all that is claimed for it or any
other mad stone, if an opportunity is
afforded him, by application at the
Central hotel.
Mr.. Roberts declares it will cure
not only tho bite of a mad dog, most
effectually, but also the bite of any
poisonous insect or reptile by applica-
ton of his wonderful stone to the
portion of the body affected by the
poison.
AS one instance in the many of it's
great power, he says while residing in
Grayson county, Texas, negro Suf-
fering with a case of hydrophobia
was brought to him and cured by the
mad stone.
This particular stone in question is
shaped like peach stone, one inch
and quarter long, and three-quar-
tiers of an inch wide, and honey-cOmb-
ed. The efficacy of the stone is pre-
served by placing it in cup Of fresh
milk after use, when it is then in
readiness to be used again.
Instances of its efficacy with snake
and spider bites are numerous.

Last Battle Of the Late War Between
the States.
albuquerque Journal

A very interesting bit of personal
and general history, especially to the
residents of New Mexico and the Rio
Grande Valley, is the fact that Col
David BranSon, now resident of
this place, is the man who fought
the last battle and gave the last order
to cease firing at the close of the war
of the rebellion, and did it at the
mouth of New Mexico's great river,
the Lilo Grande. The battle was
fought on May IL and 13, 1865. Col,
Branson was sent out from the gen.
eral camp on Brazos Island with a
mixed command of about 500 men
from the Second Texas Cavalry,
dismounted; First Missouri, colored,
and the Twenty-fourth Indiana,
to capture herd of cattle for the use
OF the troops. While out he was at
tackled by force of about 600 Texas
cavalry under Gen. Slaughter and Gen.
Ford. During the night war ship
arrived off the harbor with the news
of the surrender of Kirby Smith, the
last of the Confederate forces in the
field and consequently the end of the
war. Gen. Barrett, the commander
of the garrison, ordered Col. BranSon
to cease firing and return, which be-
ing impossible on account of the
pressure of superior force and the
well known enmity on their part to-
ward the colored troops and
Southern white Union troops,
the engagement was continued,
though the Unionists retired
fighting, toward the island. General
Barrett came to the rescue on the
18th with small reinforcement. and
the fight back to the island occupied
all that day. Near sunset, as General
Barrett was crossing the ferry with
the main body, the attack was re-
newed upon the rear guard, in CON-
mand of Captain Coffin. Colonel
Branson had just gone back to the
guard and the enemy were repulsed;
the last battle of the war was over
Then it was that Colonel Branson,
who had been informed of the good
tidings brought by the war-ship in
the offing, and fully comprehending
the Importance and the his
torical significance of that days
work. with himself as a modest
though conspicuous figure in the clos
ing scene of the great tragedy, gave

fully sheathed the sword that had for
five years been the symbol of COM
mand through the bloodiest war of
the ages, never again, he hopes, to
draw it in deadly conflict with
his fellow man. Turning to
Capt. Coffin, he sententiously,
and with an animation he can
never feel again, remarked, "That
winds up the war;" when the captain
replied, with an equal emphysis, Yes,
and thank God we are alive" The
impressive scene closed as the sun
was sinking behind the sandhills on
the Western banks of the Rio Grande
and the Gulf of Mexico, and was wit
messed by interested crowds of men
perched in the higgins of the eighty
man-of-war and other shipping an
chored in the offiing and flying the
flags of nearly every nation on earth.

with four or five churches, and in
Osyterbyggden the number of set
Elements went up to 100, and the
number of churches to twelve, and
there were also a number of cloisters
for nuns and monks. The Greenland
colony fiourished for 400 years. The
terrible ice ramparts which cover the
whole eastern coast of Greenland
have for hundreds of years turned to
naught the attempts of the boldest
navigators to penetrate that side of
the land, where, according to theindi-
cations of the old narratives, the
former so-called Oysterbyggden, with
its many tjords and fiourishing set
Elements, seems to have lain. "Per-
haps," says the author in 1886, some
daring and experienced Arctic navi-
gator, or probably some changes oc-
curing with the polar ice, may in the
future clear the way for the obtain
ing of more positive certainty as to
whether any traces exist on the east
coast and along the inner fjords of
the former settlements" Such an un-
dertaking as this is just worthy of
Nordenskjold-a Viking hunting the
Vikings.

THE first state to select delegates to
either of the national conventions
will be Massachusetts,, where the four
delegates-at-large to the Democratic
convention will be chosen at the ap-
preaching state convention. This is
to overcome the necessity for holding
two conventions next year-one for
choosing delegates and a later one for
nominating state officers. Already
candidates for these honors are secur-
ing mention, however, Butler being
the most prominent, his selection be,
ing assured if he will accept. AT the
Cincinnati convention contesting del
egations appeared from Massachu-
sets because of the refusal of the 'sil-
ver-top" Democrats to accept Butler
This will not be possible next time, as
it is probable that every delegate from
will cast his vote for
Benjamin F. Butler for president.

COMMISSIONER EATON, of the bu-
reau of education, has issued a circu-
lar on co-education of the sexes. The
circular contains information that has
been compiled from replies made by
school superintendent, examiners,
teachers and trustees to inquiries of
the bureau in regard to co-education
of the sexes in towns and smaller
cities having less than 1900 inhabi-
tants according to the census of 1880.
The commissioner states: 'In most
of the larger towns and cities co-edu-
cation of the sexes is the rule separa-
ton the exception. Recent replies
have been received from 1856 such
places, III of which co-educate and
10 separate the sexes for at least a
part of the school course" In the
common schools of the rural districts
co-education is almost universal, and
he says the sexual and social morality
of such districts is very high. These
circulars furnish great deal of in
teresting and valuable information,
not only to educators, but to the pub
lie generally.

THE naval tug Pinta is the
vessel upon which so many re-
pairs have been made during the past
year or two in order to help Boss Ma
hone to get stronger hold in Vir-
ginia. 1t has been freely charged that
the repairs made in that time cost far
more than the tug didioriginally. Yet
when she started out for short cruise
a few days ago it was found that her
engines were too heavy and she could
not with safety proceed to sea, as none
of the naval officers felt like at once
descending into watery grave. She
put back to the Norfolk navy yard to
undergo reftting for the benefit of
Mahone's next campaign.

NATURALLY bright and observant
and with the experience of eight
years continuous service, says the
Washington Star, Congressman Town
shend, of Illineis, will take front
rank among the Democratic members
of the next house. He maintains
that the next congress must sharply
define the issue of the presidential
campaign. and that if the Democrats
are to win they must make the tariff
question paramount. Mr.. Town
shend holds that the new tariff law is
unsatisfactory to the West and
South, "the bone and sinew of Demo-
cratic power" and that these sections
demand a revision of the tariff that
shall be for revenue only.

preferences. The Democracy of this
country is not in favor of Mr.. Til
den's nomination, and any attempt,
by the use of money or otherwise, to
secure his nomination is base treach-
cry to the honest purposes of the
party. Are Democrats to be led to
name this fossilized specimen of hu-
manity, this being of almost "shreds
and patches" that the day of reform
under Democracy, when successful,
may be postponed indefinitely? Mr..
Tilden's physical condition is known
to be unequal to the presidency; he is
in the clean and slipper'd" age and a
president with his ''blg manly voice"
turning again towards Childish treb-
BILE" would be surrounded with just
such influences as suit Republicans
best in defeating reforms positively
demanded by the people.

THE STRIKERS AND THE
STRICKEN.

The STATESMAN has heretofore
presented the demands of the strik-
ing telegraphers. The Western I'm
ion operated, in 1881, 10000 miles of
line, 227,171 miles of wire, and 10,737
poles. 1t has increased its lines
since then to about 10000, and its
operations ramify every branch of
business III the entire country. 1t
may be understood, then, that this
strike commands universal interest,
and popular judgment will very soon
decide who are right-the telegraph
sers in striking in an attempt to en-
force their demands. or the managers
of the Western in Union in re-
fusing to comply with their demands.
The photographers, as has been stated,
want Sunday as a day of rest from
compulsory duty, eight hours labor as
a days work, both sexes to receive
equal pay for equal work, an increase
of . per cent on all salaries, that the
lowest salary paid a lineman shall be
$50 per month, the highest 500: that
the salaries of first-class Wheatstone
operators be increased to So per
month and second class to $50, and
that the Morse operators be allo we'd
the 10 per cent advance. The superin-
tendent of the Western Union COM
pany, Mr.. Humstone, who had care
fully analysed the memorial of the
operators, section by section, is re-
ported in the New York Herald as
follows.
The first, he said, was laughably
illogical. 'srhey say he said, mans
physical and mental welfare demands
rest on Sunday. therefore we want a
total abolition of Sunday work, unless
paid as extra service. That's absurd.
They ask eight hours instead of nine
during the day, and seven instead of
eight at night. AS matter of fact
we let the operators take turns in
getting off on Saturday and Sunday
nights, so that they really have every
other Sunday night off. That is doing
more than we are obliged to do. We

TIE terms of peace between Chill
and Peru have been agreed upon a
second time. By the terms proposed
Chilli is to take from Peruvian islands
100000 tons of guano, and when
that much has been disposed of, is to
pay to the creditors of Peru one-half
of it's net value. Thus it appears
that the birds who wrought thous-
ands of years ago, perhaps, created a
bank of deposit for Peru upon which
she can now draw to pay war indem-
mites and her public debt.
No wonder the late Republi-
can secretary of state, Mr..
Blaine. was using his official power to
get personal claim on guano. APP
propos of his ambition, an exchange
thinks it would have been well for
Blaine to have acquired the guano
beds. In one of them would have
been a nice location for his last resting

THERE is one feature of the tele-
graphers strike not heretofore noticed.
A -rike of all the brotherhood opera
tors would deprive them of the means
of instantaneous communication
with each other. By their secret
cipher they can keep San Francisco as
well posted as New York; and as
long as the brotherhood is represent
ed at the keyboards its officers will
have daily, or even hourly, reports of
the situation throughout the land.
