The Mexican Beggar.

Mexico, if we may believe the historian
of its conquest, was well supplied with
mendicants before the arrival of the
Spaniards. Great crowds, writes the
conqucrOr, Cortes, swarmcd in the streets
OF the principal towns and cities.
Instead of diminishing with the ad-
vance of civilization, their number in
creased, so that at the present time they
assail every visitor to Mexico at every
vulnerable point. You meet them ON
the coast at every station on the rail
roads, and at every corner of the street
in the great capital city.
They are ragged beyond belief, and
filthy to a degree that causes not only
surprise, but CONSERVATION, in new ar
rival in Mexico.
Their lugubrious whnes penetrate the
walls of the largest buildings, and Green
in at the chinks of the closest shut door
and window.
No amount of threat or persuasion can
move them, unless their point is carried
and something given them. Mothers
MAIN their children in order to excite
the compassion of the stranger, and adult
beggars allow themselves to become the
prey of loathsome diseases for the same
purpose.
The proper name for the bcggar in
Spanish is Mendigo, but in MeXico-per-
haps in other Spanish-speaking countries
he is known as FL Pordiosero, because
he repeats "Por Dios, Senor'-"For the
Lords sake, sir, give me something to
eat, etc, thousand times II day"
Youth's Companion.

THE 3" MADRAS" CASE.

AS the claim of the owners of the
Madras for compensation for deten-
tion at this port is again the subject
of town talk, it is much TO be regretted
that the published correspondence on
the subject which passed between the
British Minister and the Minister of
Foreign Affairs should be hid away
in the appendix to that alto
gether inaccessible book-the Report
of the Minister of Foreign Affairs to
the Assembly of 1884. TO our minds
the complaint of the captain and
owners of the Madras, and their
claim against the country for COM
pensation for the ships detention
here has, so far as it's legal aspects
are concerned, always appeared pre-
posterous. They and their agents
evidently knew from the beginning
that they had no chance of gaining a
suit for damages, no matter what
legal tribunal they might have access
to. They therefore. with an dd cap
tantzasna tale, have sought the ear of
the British Foreign Office, lion ever
ready to roar on the bare suspicion
of a British subject being ILL
treated. The Hawaiian Government
has now to put forward its version of
this story-a story undoubtedly dis
creditable to some of the actors in it,
6,st not to the Government. This will
probably be the last we shall hear of
it, unless the British Government
should think fit to ask that it be set.
tied according to the modern fashion,
by the arbitrament of some neutral
Government.
Nevertheless we cannot help pity
ing the owners of the "Madras'' and
wishing to see them relieved of at
least some part of the burden which,
for the benefit of the people of this
country, has been put upon their
shoulders. It was their own fault
that the ship had foolish captain,
and it was their own fault (since, as
we understand some, or all of them,
live in Hong Kong) that they did
not take proper precautions to keep
smallpox patients off their ship, as
was done in the case of the other YES
sells arriving about that time. But it
was not their fault that the ship ar
rived here at time when the public
mind was greatly excited about the
Chinese invasion and the chances of
a deadly epidemic which the Chinese
had brought here SO short time pre-
viously being renewed. Nor was it
their fault that every available
quarantine building was more than
filled by immigrants who. were pre-
sumably free from the dread disease,
SO that no place on shore could be
found for the sick folks brought by
the "Madras." Neither was it their
fault that the Captain of the
Madras" put himself in wrong from

HAWAIIAN MUSIC.

The Hawaiians are eminently
music-loving people, and there are
but few natives who cannot give ex-
preston to their melodious feelings
in some manner. The older people
cling to the ancient maeLe and a00iL;
but even they join with one mind (if
not with voice. in the musical part
of their church services. The younger
people, however, catch with great
quickness the songs, marches, and
music generally that they hear about
them, and not only reproduce the
notes, but arrange words together to
sing, very easily. They are not, as
rule, trammelled by any syllable re-
strictions, as their language permits
of extension or curtailment to re-
markable degree, hence improvisation
is an easy art with them. This leads
to multiplication of verses to airs
that please them, that to the listener,
ignorant of the language, is some
times tiresome; to the performers
neper.
There has been some sweet music
composed by Hawaiians, and not a.
few songs. The best of these have
been gathered together and published
in sheet form, and through the kind
ness of Messrs. ]. M. Oat, Jr., & Co.
we have been enabled to examine the
nine compositions published by them
in sheet form.
The first of these is the National
Hymn, Hawaii PoEoi" (Hawali,
My OWN the words of which were
omposed by His Majesty the King,
the music by Mr.. III. Berger, the vet
eran leader of the Hawaiian Band.
The second, song entitled "Aloha
Oe," my Love to You) is composed
by III. r. III. Liliuokaiani, and is
sweet and popular melody.
No. is a March (quickstep) ar
ranged by Mr.. Berger, entitled "Sweet
Lei Lehua,'' THE Sweet Lehua
Wreath) and is familiar to all.
The 4th is song with chorus, ar
ranged by Mr.. Berger, and entitled
AAoAohdA anu IAd 1loAdhl IAC
Light Cold Wind.
No. 5 is a march by Mr.. Berger,
called "Lunamakaainana," (The
Legislator).
The 9th Us pretty song and chorus
entitled aEleile" (The Materially
which is a great iavorite.
'tKa Moi Kalakaua" (King Kala-
kaua's) March is a spirited quickstep,
arranged by Mr.. Berger as is "La
Hanau o ke AIii'' (The Birth of the
King, or the Kings Birthday. "Ahi
Wela," CThe Fire of Love- is char
acteristic song aud chorus, arranged
by Mr.. Berger. That completes the
list published so far.
The vignette on the title page of
each song contains a spirited view of
Diamond Head surrounded by tropical
foliage. The general appearance of
The sheets is good, and they will form
quite an addition to the music stands
