POOR CARLOTTA."
How She Won the Hearts of the NTexi-
can People.
springfeld Republican.


The Emperor and empress are re-
membered with more love and justice
as time goes on, and the latter is in
variably spoken of as poor Carlot-
ia. SHE won the hearts of the com
mon people as the wife of no subse-
quent ruler has ever been able to do
As one incident among hundreds
illustrating this fact, let nae tell you
what occurred not long ago at the
Teatro Principal: A we'll known
Mexican opera company had been de-
lighting this music-loving people for
many nights, and the favorite prima
donna--a gay and pretty little crea-
ture-was loaded with gifts and ia
yors. One night for an encore, the
audience (who are always far more
excited and demonstrative here than
our colder blooded gatherings at the
north demanded Of the prima donna
one of the many little songs written
at the fall of the empire, ridiculing
the emperor and empress. The prima
donna endcavored to divert them from
the point, coquettishly singing other
songs at her prettiest, but still the
cries continued for the one at first de
manded Ia vain she did her best
in other lines, the wilful audience
would not be diverted, the cries de-
generated INTO bowls and then into
Kisses, till she was driven from the
stage. The manager going Behind
the scenes to exercise his personal
authority, found her in a passion of
tears. She explained that she had
once been maid in the palace, that
the empress discovering her talent,
had been her patron and paid for
her musical education, and that the
very dress she was then wearing was
poor Charlotta's' gift. Could she use
the advantage thus gained to ridicule
her benefactor3 Meanwhile a per-
feet pandemonium was raging in the
theater; yells, cries and groans were
deafening; many people were hastily
leaving. and chairs had begun to
rain down upon the stage from the
galleries, with alarming indications
that heavier articles might soon be
expected to follow. The manager
stepped to the footlights amid a
shower of missiles and explained the
situation. With the Characteristic
volatility of the Latin race, the little
girl was recalled in the midst Of her
tears and cheered TO the echo, order
was restored, and the offensive song
was rendered by the chorus without
her assistance.

A Bold Voyage.
san francisco Bulletin.

Two natives Of Denmark, Peter
Muller and Nils Peterson, sailors,
started on a bold and dangerous voy-
age. They intend to travel from
Kodiak island to San Francisco IN a
"bidarkan or skin canoe, following
Che coast in all its lndentations. The
distance to be travelled is considerably
over two and probably 5000 miles,
over every foot of which these enter
prising men propose to propel their
craft with their double bladed Aleuti
an paddle. Their craft is a double
ender, 10 feet inches long, and two
feet four inches beam amidships. 1t
consists of a light frame of open
wlcker-work, covered with sea-lion
skin. with the exception of two oval
matches on what we may call the deck.
The canoe can be easily carried by the
two men. and as the depth of the
craft is not over IS inches, the bag
gage and provisions must naturally
be reduced to its minimum in weight
and bulk, consisting OF a small tent,
blankets, fryingpan and tea Kettle,
rifle and a shotgun, a so-called native
pump for freeing the canoe OF
water bv suction with the mouth,
some tea, sugar, aud flour ,fsh-lines,
etc. The enterprise is exceedingly
bod in its conception, involving an
amount of physical labor, hardships,
and dangers appalling to most men.
I But these men are possessed OF I'M
usual energy and strength.
/ Al the BEGINNING Of the present
century large fleets of similar can
oes in pursuit of sea-otters accomplish
! ed nearly the same journey now pro
posed by the two Danes but then
they were accompanied by Russian
oyerseers in able sailing vessels TO
which the canoes eoHld rally IN case
/ Of danger, and the progress occupied
more than one season, with long IN
tervals of rest and recuperauon.
Even under such circumstances their
expeditions were attended with much
loss of life.

Last week, at the Chicago Driving
Park the chestnut gelding Westmont
paced mile in 201f, with running
mate, beating the record by 81 seconds.
This method of speeding horses was
invented in the east, and when Frank
and mate made a mile IN 2.0St last
fall it was considered a wonderful
performance by the eastern press. In
the case of the trotter he broke several
times at the back stretch, and was re-
ally helped by it, Westmont, ON the
other hand, paced nearly the full mile
and went of his feet near the wire,
and was pulled almost to standstill,
thereby losing about two seconds.
On Friday, Jay Eye-See was driven
by Ed. Bther, for his second heat
against time, There was hardly man
of the 5000 in attendance but believ-
ed that the fastest mile ever trotted
was about to be accomplished. Mr.
J. l. Case, the owner of the black geld
ing, had esconced himself in the
garnet of the judges stand, watch
in hand Everybody in the crowd
who owned a watch had it in hand
ready to follow the little trotter as he
went to lower the record of
2:104 made by Maud S. John Splan
appeared shortly after, driving a run
ming horse to a sulky. He was to ac-
company Jay -Eye-See to stimulate the
latter to do his utmost.
After scoring a couple of tunes,
Bither came down to the wire at a
clipping gaitand nodded for the word.
The little geldlDg trotter as steadily
as a piece of mechanism and passed
the first quarter IN 81 seconds He
kept right along and passed down the
back stretch with magnificent stride.
There was a burst Of applause from
the crowd when he passed the half
mile in :03I He is going to lower
the record sure, " every body said, ''if
he doesn't break" He had gone to
the half too fast however, and round
I ing the turn at the foot of the back
stretch he began to let up a rihe.
| Splau sent the running horse up to
urge him on, but he only reached the
timee.quarter pole in 1861. Coming
down the stretch he trotted steadily,
but failed to respond when Bither put
the whip ON him. He was tired and
passed under the wire in pill.
During the full mile he did not make
a skip. and he trotted every inch of
the way. Considering the time of the
year it was really a great performance
and fully warrants the assertion Of
his owner and admirers that he can
lower the record. The first quarter
was made at a 2:04 gait and the half
mile at a 2:06l rate He did not make
any other attempt to lower the record
but merely trotted another in the easy
time of 2:2l3.

Farmers Sons.

II. II. Little writes TO the Farming
World: 1t is deplorable fact that a
large per cent of the young men Of
our rural districts, farmers sons, are
restless and uneasy in their present
situations. They look with longing
eyes upon the imaginary attractions
of our great over crowded cities.
They are excited by stories of wealth
obtained without labor, and are
tempted TO throw themselves into the
tide Of speculation which threatens to
ovenun our land and country. In
other words, they are tired of the old
routine of ordinary farm life.
We would suggest a remedy for this
state of things. Let the farmers Of
cur noble land beautify their homes
Set out an orchard of fruit trees, a
vineyard and a plantation of the
many varieties of choice small fruit
suited to their climate. and with the
attention that ordinary crops receive
they will find that these can be made
a source Of profit as well as pleasure.

Every one knows what fresh honey
is-a clear, light-yellow syrup with
out any trace of solid sugar in it,
After straining, it gradually takes
less clear appearance, and finally can
dies, as the saying IS, and after
while becomes like a solid mass of
moist sugar 1t is supposed that this
change is due to the same chemical
action which changes the iodine of
silver on the Photographic plate, and
which determines the formation Of
camphor and iodine crystals in
bottle. causing honey to assume a
crystalline form. Honey in closely
corked TASKS and kept in the dark re-
mains unchanged, but if exposed 20
the light soon crystalizes This eX-
plain why bees, taught by what we
call instinct, are so careful TO close
the glass windows that are sometimes
placed in their hives, or, in wild
state, why they always make their
honey in the hollow of tree or other
dark places. The existence of the
young bees depends on the liquidity
of the honey on which they feed +;
and if light We're freely allowed ac-
cess to the honey of the hive, the
honey would probably be unfit for
food to the young bees-perhaps even
fatal to them.

F'ELON CURE.-The Chicago Medical
Times SAYS: Take common salt and

this. a teaspOonful of cs stile soap an
a teaspoonful Of Venice turpentine
mix them well in pollltice and ap
ply to the felon. Renew the poultice
twice a day. In four or five days
your felon will, if not opened before
your poultice was put on, present

matter can escape. No matter how
bad the case is, apply the poultice.
RED ANTS may be banished from a
pantry or storeroom by strewing the
cloves, either whole or ground. We
use the former, as not being so likely
to get into the food placed upon the
shelves. The cloves should be re-
newed occasionally, as after time
they lose their strength and efficacy.

MR.. PRACHT'S DEATH.

death of Mr.. George Pracht, who
met with an accident recently in
Kau. A private letter received by
the Planter, dated April 10th, says: {:
"A most serious change for the
worse set in. Pracht was taken with
loclzjaw on Sunday and the doctor
has been fighting the disease ever
since with opium, morphine injec-
tions, chloroform, etc. He has been
kept under the influence of chloro-
form most of the time, and when /
left Waiohinu, at 4:30 p. NJ, the
doctor had very little hope of his
recovery.

THE FALL I'M SUGAR.

The effects of the present low
price of sugar are not yet fully real
lied. Should the downward tend
ency in this, our staple product,
continue, or should sugar even con-
tinue at it's present rate there will be
troublous times, not only for the
planters but for the whole COM
munity. Fortunately, in most dis
tricts in this Kingdom, the sugar
yield of the present season is un.
usually productive. The increase in
quantity will, to certain extent,
compensate for the decrease in price,
but unfortunately it will not be uni
versal or diminish the overdrafts to
the extent that has been anticipated.
We have been shown couple of
account sales of planters, on different
islands. One is for 78 tons of sugar
which realized $9,929.32. After de-
Quoting the expenses abroad, the
planter netted, for his half share,
almost $4,000. From this he had to
deduct the expenses, at home, of
cultivating, carting, and shipping
and bags which amounted to $3, 400.
This left him less than 5000 to pay
the proportion, from that yield, of
his yearly taxes, interest, rent, wear
and tear and cost of living.
The second account sales were for
AZ tons of sugar which realized ST.
800. The San Francisco and Honolulu
charges together amounted to over
5000, leaving less than $3,400 of
which the planter received less than
$1,700. From this he paid the cost
of production, rent, interest, taxes
carriage and shipping which amoun-
ted to 1900, and he found himself
the owner of less than 500 to main
tain his wife and family with the
necessaries of life, and with no re-
turn for his own labor.
These may be isolated cases and
we hope that they are. But they
show, at least, that all the planters
in the Kingdom are not the wealthy
individuals that they are generally
reputed to be. If the present rates
last it is merely question of time
how long the planters will be able,
or care, to continue in obtaining
credit and oyerdrafts and in working
for nothing, unless there be a mate
