Mr.. ED1ToR.-Why does not DR.. Fitch an
swer the cheeky individual, who dares to
attack him so ruthlessly in your contemporary of
the 21st inst.
Perhaps the doctor is of the opinion that he
would be lowering his dignity if he were to
answer every conceited person who thinks, that
because he has read one or two medical works,
and quoted some authorities he is a physician
we'll qualified to attack the theories of a medical
gentleman who can produce his diploma at any
moment but if this be the DOCTORS opinion, l
do not agree with him in his conceit, the worthy
writer up of leprosy might really think that he
has effectually Climbed the doctor in his argu-
ments by quoting the authorities on one side of
the question only.
Now doctor, can you not effectually shut the
mouths, and still the pens of those sol distant
physicians and theorists, by giving them some
sound aud common sense talk about this vexa-
tious question before us ? If so, let US have it at
once, and if possible, through the columns of
the same sheet which published that very scien-
tiic communication of A c. s.
If I were to read works on subject, and copy
what 1 read through the columns of your inter
esting paper, 1 suppose that in due time, 1 too
would be qualified to venture my opinion against
those gentlemen who make it then their sole
study by devoting all their time, talents and
attention to the relief of those unfortunate
beings in our midst who are afflicted with this
terrible disease but instead of doing so, leave
it in the hands of one, who l think, is capable
of attending to it. in spite of what his v~illifiers
might say of him.
Hoping to soon see DR.. Fitch give &" A. c.. S."
his just merits, and that you will insert this in
your valuable journal, I subscribe myself,
Yours respectfully, FAIR Play.

Mr.. EDrroR,-I have read with somewhat
mixed feelings the remarkable effusion signed,
II. JOY, that appeared in your paper of the
9th.
OF course, admiration at the wealth of good
ness e~ndowing the faithful few in their little
Fort in contrast with the moral restitution of
all outside that stronghold of virtue is the para
mount idea. Next comes the Indignation that
the procedures of this unobtrusive band should
be subjected TO criticism, even by ladies but
you know it is the lot of the good and pious of
all times to be scoffed at by those of an opposite
character. Just mediate for a moment on the
piety and b~rotherly solicitude that prompt jubi-
liant gentlemen of the Y.M.C.A. to strain every
effort to possess themselves of the books of the
Public Library for the benefit of those, who,
unlike mechanics and such like people, have the
inclination to battle and properly clothe them
selves. What a moral comfort it would be to
those d%ecently attired people not to be brought
into contact with mechanics and such like who
do not purify themselves from the tolls and moils
of their every day life of labor.
But to discuss all the merits of this wonder
full manifestation of piety and the charity that is
not pulled up and yaunteth not itself, would spin
out this epistle to an inordinate length, so l will
conclude by expressing the hope that the pro-
posed public spirit as above foreshadowed may
meet with the measure of commentator and
success it deserves at the hands of a too much
patronized public

4 contemporary, commenting upon certain
remarks alleged to have been made by some of
the native papers, says We certainly have no
information that the charges are correct, but at
the same time it is street talk This is indeed
placed under the head of communicated, :" but is
"A pretty fair indication of the source from whence
said contemporary draws its information. 1t illus
trates simple depravity in journalism to thus
report a dirty piece of street scandal without
even so much as dressing it specifically in an
assumed garb of authenticity for the sake of
common decency.
One. of the latest fashionable caprices in Lon
don is an unusual and, so far as We are aware,
unprecedented method of announcing births.
The newborn infant is made to proclaim its
own advent on a post card, which is mailed to
friends aud acquaintance OF the parents. The
card bears an inscription thus formulated for
instance Miss Angelina Smith begs to an
nCunce her birth on the 10th instant" The
compliments of the parents are added at the
bottom. What next are we to expect in the way
of fashionable whimsicalities

A correspondent, whose communication we
published lately has given the impression that
the Y. VI. c. A. is, or has been, endeavoring to
obtain control of the books belonging to the
Library Association in this city. We wish to
correct this impression. We speak authOratively
when we say that the Y. NJ. c. A., are not trying,
nor have they tried to get control of the library
spoken of, for, ia the fist place they 90 not IN
tend to have a circulating library and, in the
second place the Library Association have no
idea of giving up their books.

There are a considerable number OF foreigners
here who contemplate leaving soon for various
parts of the world. Some Of them have been on
these Islands several years, but the greater part
have resided here only a short time and nearly
all have been occupied on plantations as labor
ers and artizans. About twenty of these men
met the other night in this city, and it was found
by conversing with each of them that sixteen of
their number came here with no intention of
settling or remaining in the country but simply
ont Of curiosity. The other four are going to
the States to bring their families back with them
soon. They had come here with hope of find
ing an advantageous and permanent location
and were highly pleased with the advantages
which are offered in Hawaii for those who are
skilled and faithful workers.

In connection with the subject of the Y.M.C.A.
we would say that there seems to be a very
strong feeling against that clause in the consti-
tuition which makes it obligatory upon members
that they should be also members IN good
standing of some Evangelical church, before
they can vote on subjects in the Y. VI. c. A. 1t
Is argued that the Evangelical churches might
lust as reasonably demand that ther members
should also belong to the Y.M CA, before
thew can vote in tn church. 1t is further more
limited that there may arise an organization
known as the Christian Young Mems AssO-
citation which will be likely to be independent
Of church distinctions.

TIE CONFUSION CAUSED BY LADIES NAMES

TIE CONFUSION CAUSED BY LADIES NAMES.
Why it was done we cannot say, but quite
a number Of the streets Of Austin have been
named after females. Such hnames as Emma,
Laura Isabella, stare at youinlarsc letters
from almosteyery corner. The Austin peo-
pie. or some Of them at least, have become
tolerably familiar with Maria, Jane, Susan
and the rest, bu, strangers arc liable to be-
come bewildcred by this singular nomen-
clature.
A gentleman from Dallas, who had only
'cw hours to spend in our city, wished to
.lke look tthe now capitol, and not know
ing where he was, he made inquiry Of The
frat man be met "Can you tell nc how ]
can find the now temporary capitol ~
That's easy enough. Are YOU familiar
with Emma street?'
q am not. : have TO acquaintance With
any lady Of that name There is a family
by tina. name in Dallas, but ana not ac-
quainted vith them. Does Emma street
live near the new capital
The Austin man stared at ;he stranger for
moment, and then pointing down Magno-
liza avenue, he said
"You see where Maria comes into the
avenue
The Dallas man looked in the direction
pointed out and perceiying a fat Old negro
woman uith a big basket on her arm nodded
| his head in assent
We'll, you must take Maria until you
get 70 the corner of Elizabeth, and until
Peggy and Sarah come together, and then
you viii be Ill right"

sulphur a. a Cure for Diphthcrfa.

The following recipe for diphthelia i. from
an English doctcr who never lost case
when given this treatment: "Oae teaspoon
ful Of sulphur in q wine glass Of water. Stir
with a stick, not with metal. Use as a gar
gle allow some to pass down the throat.
When not possible to use as gar
gle, blow 4 little powdered su phur through
a quill into the throat. This gives instant
relief"
Iis now known that diphthesia is csused
b. animalculae just below the roots Of the
tongue, and powdered sulphur is the most
powerful agent and least harmful) known.
Ny own children had the diphtheria-one Of
them severely-growing worse under the
care of a good physidisn. Isuspended his
medicines and applied powdered sulphur on
q fat stick q fair pinch, the child projecting
its tongue), Just across the lower part Of the
tongue. This gave immediate relief, and
after two or three ap plcstions the child re-
covered.
In a large town in western New York
there was an cpiie mic of diphthcria, ana
every case was fatal upto the time this rem
ely was made known to the people there,
when only one child died of all those who
used it. have mentioned it to Others with
Ike results This remedy should be made
known indistricts where diphtheria prevails.

POETRY.
THE LONG AGO.

OH q wonderful stream is the river Time,
As 1t glides through the realm OF years,
With a faultleSs rhythm ard musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep and surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean OF years
How the winters are drifting like fakes Of snow
And the summer Ike buds between,
And the wear IS in the shcaf-so they come and
On the rivers breast, with It's ebb and fow,
As il gides through tie shadow and sheen.
There's a magical isle up the river of Time,
Where the soltest of airs are playing;
There's q clOudless sky and a tropical cline,
And q son, As sweet a yesper chime,
And the June where the roses are staying
Aud the name Of tits isleis tie Long Ago
And We bury our treasures there;
There are brOws of beauty and bosonls oisnoW
Thereare heaps Of dust but we loved them 50 I!
There are trinkess and tresses of hair
There are fragments oisongs that nobody sinss'
And par; OF an infants prayer
There's lute unswcpt and a harp without
string;
There are broken vows, and pieces Of rings,
and the garments she used b wear
Thercare hands that are waved when the fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air,
And We sometimes hear, through The turbulent
roar,
sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the rivers SO iaiF.
On remembered for ave be the blessed isle
All the days of iiic, ti.i night
When the evening comes, with the beautiful
smile,
And our ewes are closing 20 slumbeF awhile,
