Il Trial of More Than Ordinays, Interest to
Stock Grorers.
A trial of more than ordinary interest IN
stock growers, says a Denver special. was
finished in the United States circuit court here
to-day before Judge Brewer. The plaintiff in
the case was jeremiah Mann, of Nevada. and
the defendants were b. C. Bloomfield. one of
Colorados largest cattle raisers, and Robert
Tillett and Henry Trass. There were wit
nesses present from Nevada. Wyoming Colo
RADIO and various parts of the Rocky Noun
tains. In Mr.. Mann's complaint he said thar
in 1880 he purchased 1908 head of Oregon car
tie and drove them TO Wyoming About 601
OF this herd were sold, decreasing the number
to 400. These cattle together with those of
other parties, drifted southwark during fba
winter of 1881, and could not be found at the
spring roundup, and in the year following
Mr.. Mann mad a large force of men and horses
employed in searching for them, at great ex-
pense and cost. He finally claims 10 hava

G nereu 10 the vicinity OF the ranch of Mr.
bloomfield, in southern Colorado and charges
that they were taken up by Mr.. Bloomfield
and his men, and the brands so chanOed as +I,
destroy their identity. Mr.. Bloomfield denied
having ever taken or converted TO his own
use any of Mr.. Mann's cattle In addition 70
this denial the defense introduced testimonv
TO show that the winter of 1881 was very
severe, and that thousands of cattle perishad
in the storms that prevailed during that season
Some OF the testimony was to the effect tbof
from . to 80 per cent of the cattle in that part
of country died during that winter. Test
mony was adduced to show that carcasses of
herds OF 800, 800 and 1000 were seen. AS an
illustration, Judge Geary. who had a herd of
900, recovered less than 800. The theory of
defense was that the cattle of Mr. Mann or
the greater per cent of them, had persisted in
tne storms or tnat winter. Mr.. Mann also
sued for the value of increase that Womb
have accrued from the 200 cows, placing the
increase at Loo head of cattle, worth in All

after being out twenty-four hours, returned

were big concerns, and some were very
small. Failure is sorrowful business to

that fails. A great many times 1O,56S

A Burt county farmer, in writing to his To-
cal paper regarding hog cholera, says that as
the disease is brought about mostly by reason
of dirty pens and corn diet, a change in the
right direction will, by removing the cause,
produce the cure. First, change the hogs to
high, fresh ground, and then feed wholly on
oats. AS soon as the hogs stop dying give a
little corn, but continue the oats. Give ashes
and salt. The hogs will not only get well, but
ratten much faster than on corn diet.

A LAB0R IDEA.

Mr.. Canavarro. the Portuguese
Commissioner, is reported rs think
ing that a solution of the plantation
labor problem could be found in
allowing the Portuguese to raise
cane on shares. They would then
work uncomplainingly, not only ten,
but twelve or fourteen hours n day,
or during daylight. There may be
more in this idea than is dreamed OF
in the "main strength and stupidity"
philosophy of some planters. 1t is
doubtful if, even upon material con-
sideratons, the cheapest specimens
of humanity are in the long run the
cheapest labor. One thing that
enhances the cost of labor chosen
for its mere animal qualities, is the
necessity of repeatedly replenishing
it from original sources. Because
where, as in the case of this country,
the dictates of humanity and civili-
zation are obeyed. and the natural
increase Of the plantation workers is
not permitted to grow up to merely
brutal standard, the rising genera
ton of the plantations will not be the
cheap labor that its progenitors
were. The children who get along
we'll in our schools will not, it may
be depended upon, hold themselves
as cheap as their fathers in the cane
fields. and, unless the Kingdom can
furnish them with openings for maxi
ing more Independent livelihood in
field, factory or office. they will
give other countries the benefit of
the education gained at this country's
expense. Such suggestions as that
made by Mr.. Canavarro, and that
made in the Planters MOnthly last
month-that the laborers should be
encouraged to improve their domes-
tic plots rs their permanent homes
are timely and sensible contribu-
tions to our many-sided labor
problem.

FUNERAL SERVICES.

The funeral of the late Sister Mary
Clare took place yesterday afternoon,
from st. Andrews Cathedral. The
coffin with the body had been placed
in the church the previous evening,
and covered over with Il white pail
with red cross on it, lighted candles
standing at head and foot. The
church was crowded, the whole of
the scholars of st. Andrews Priory
being present, dressed very neatly
in white with black sashes. The
floral offerings were numerous and
beautiful, amongst them a cross
made of white and blue flowers from
ii. M. Queen Emma who was pre-
sent, as was also, II. b. Nj. IS Com
missioner Major Wodehouse and
Mrs. Wodehouse. The service was
conducted by the Bishop, Revs. Geo.
Wallace and Alex. Macintosh, the
boy choir singing the service and
special hymns very effectively. After
the service was over, the body was
taken to the Nuuanu Cemetery, the
choir, clergy and Bishop before the
hearsc, and then Eldress Phoebe
and Sisters Beatrice and Albertina,
as chief mourners, with the school
children following, and private car
riages. The pail bearers were twelve
of the young pupils of the deceased.
Arriving at the cemetery it was found
the grave had been lined and covered
with beautiful flowers. The Bishop
read the service, the choir boys sung
the hymn, Thou art the Way"
and thus was laid at rest a good
woman who had given up her life to
work for her Lord and Master.

SCHOOL TEXTBOOKS.

Of the many special difficulties
which confront school teachers in
this country, one of the greatest, so
some teachers say. is the difficulty
of procuring suitable textbooks to
facilitate and not impede the teacher
in his and her work. This difficulty
does not arise from deficiency in
variety of books and series of books
to choose from, or insullicicncy of
supply; but from the fact that none

selves or how well suited to the con-
ditions and needs of the countries
in which and for which they were
originally prepared, arc altogether
adapted to the conditions and needs
of educational work in this country
In the first place, the subject matter
of large proportion of the lessons
is unsuited to Hawaiian beginners.
AS they naturally and necessarily
treat of things, for the most part.
foreign to the observation and cX-
perience Of the young Hawaiian,
their meaning is not very clear to
his comprehension. Lessons on
matters within range of his own OBJ
servation and having II practical
beariskg on island life would be
much more easily and readily com
pretended. Among the great vari-
ETY. of books hitherto used in the
public and private schools of the
kingdom there is not one of this
character. But above all, it must
be remembered that most of oul
teachers are engaged in teaching
English to lIawaiians. which is 9
foreign language to the learners
and books which are eminently
fitted for teaching children who al,
ready speak the language as theil
mother tongue, can hardly be so use
full in teaching others who have tC
learn to speak that language. A
book, or perhaps Il series of books
especially prepared for this pur
pose, is what teachers feel the neec
of. Mr.. Oleson's English Lessons

a contemporary represents the
community as sleeping while things
generally are going to the dogs. If
the town had some kind of local
self-govcrnment, there would be less
torpidity during lulls in general
politics. 1t paralyzes the hand of
the journalist, when he would advo-
cate local improvements, to know
that nothing can be done for two
years, beyond what the past Legis-
lature has provided for. Another
discouraging consideration is that
when the Legislature meets, the
towns interests are misrepresented
by political hacks and boobies, and
adjudicated upon largely by rural
members who know little and care
less about them.

TIE PORTUGUESE IMMIGRANTS.

A visit to the immigration Depot
was made yesterday by the BULLETIN
reporter. On passing through the
gate an invitation to lunch was
extended by officer Marcos, and
splendid bowl of soup washed down
by glass of clarct soon disap-
pcared. After lunch we first saw
number of the immigrants shipped
from the depot on to large dray
ready to be taken to the wharf.
They appeared to he quite contented
with their lot. Walking round the
grounds many amusing sights were
seen. There in front of one door
was whole family in deep con-
versation probably arranging for the
future. There's couple Of young
fellows having dance to the music
of an accordion, and further on Il
group of children who are disputing
over Il poor solitary banana. Our
progress is somewhat impeded,
owing to the number of clothes
lines, it evidently heing wash day.
Turning a corner we get mixed up
in lot of blankets and sheets hung
out to dry, and when once free,
find ourself face to face with Mrs.
Jarlcy's Johnny who, is checking off
immigrants, and that moment is in
search of one by the name, rs
we understand him, of Fernando
Ferrovarropereiranandcz. Right in
the corner there are two young men
offering their hearts to n young
damscl who bushes as the reporter
passes. We have reached the cook
house or shed, and find few still
enjoying their meal, so proving to
us that they are well fed and taken
care of while at the depot. There
comes n representative of Brewer &
Co., to look after his shipment, and

Senior Canavarro, proceeds to bust
ness with him. On the opposite
side of the office, Mr.. Marcos is

checking off Il shipment Of about 20
for another plantation, and they
pass out, jump ON to dray where
their baggage is already placed and
are driven off. In the short time
spent there, we came to the conclu,
sion that this shipment of immigrants
is a very good one, there being very
few old people. There are a number
of children, and from all appearance
