A distressing accident occurred on the
North Fork last week, by which Arthur, the
Oldest son Of Isham Stephens, lad about
sixteen years old, came very nca- ending his
life, and which may yet terminate fatally.
Mr.. Stephens and his son were out hunting,
and during one of their short stops the boy
observed chipmunk down the hill, and laid
down his rifle to throw ut it. The rife either
started to slide down the hill and the ham
mer struck rock, or else the boy pulled the
gun toward him muzzle first, ra ising the ham.
mer and exploding it. The ball, No. 40,
entered his breast just below the heart, max
ing bad and dangerous wound. At last nc
counts he was alive. but little hopes were en-.
tninad of his recovery. He is attended by
DIR. j. l.. Bennett, of Gunnison, who is at
the present time visiting on the North Fork.

found on the south side of the Gunnison riv-

of no use to anyone but the owner, he or she
is requested to come and claim them. The

A tendency to crime manfests itself
at q very early age through certain
"well-known characteristics, for NM.
Lombraso and Mano have studied $50
infants, and especially 100 from houses
of refuge, and easily recognized the
criminal type in the proportion of IA
per cent. The loss of moral sense
was observable in "A per cent, and
veritable propensity to crime in 10 per
cent. Out of twenty-nine infants they
have noticed, however, the disappear
ance of the criminal tendencies partly
through non-inheritance, partly under
the beneficial influence of their sur
roundings, and partly because the
criminal passions existing at certain
period disappear in maturity. These
savants should have honestly added as
another partly that the primary
judgment erred.
During severe epidemics, says the
Lancet, lit has been noticeable that
the mortality has not been by any
means greatest in the very center, SO
to say, of the disease. In the hospit-
ais and among the cholera patients
scattered throughout the population
medical officers and nurses have gone
about doing their duty with no greater
mortality than that of those who have
kept aloof. Indeed it is probable that
certain amount of immunity from
disease has been enjoyed by those who
have not feared the danger of infection.
The great secret of success in warding
off disease is the preservation of
health. We mean that if, needless of
danger men and women do their duty
to those around housekeeping up
cheerful temper and a trusty spirit,
neither abusing the good things OF life
nor avoiding them; in short, living as
all should live whether in the midst of
a healthy population or in the presence
of an epidemic-they have far better
chance of escaping disease than by
falling into state of panic and hast
ening to leave. The true policy is to
kill the germs of disease on the spot,
whether they be in the water or in the
air."

The Orange Tree.

The orange tree is the longest-lived
fruit tree known. 1t isreputed to have
obtained the age of 300 years, and it has
been known to have ilourished and borne
fruit for more than 100 years. No fruit
tree will grow and produce fruit SO
well under rough treatment. 1t COM
mences to bear the third or fourth year
after budding, and by the fifth year it
will produce an abundant crop, but its
yield will increase gradually under ia
vorable circumstances, and as the years
pass on it will become very produc-
tive tree. The early growth Of the or
ange is quite rapid. and by the tenth
year it will have increased more than
in the next fifty years, so far as its
breadth and height are concerned; but
as its age multiplies its fruit stems
greatly, and an old tree will sometimes
bear thousands of oranges. --Jac&Sos-

THE DEFENSE OF THE MINISTERS.

The Ministers stood up in one two
three four order yesterday. and
defended themselves against the
charges of the Finance Committee.
And what has their defense
amounted to. Mr.. Gibson spoke for
an hour and quarter, and although
there are the gravest charges OF
constitutional infringement, illegal
transfers, and appropriations made
by the Cabinet in direct violation of
law, he spent more than one-fourth
of his time in talking about the
price of turkeys, and who wore a
hustle and a pair of corscts; and
said not one word in regard to the
acts which threaten the very auto
nomy of the Government. His
defense consists of generalization
and taffy, and a recitation Of the
iniquities of former adminiStra-
ton.
Minister Kapena made long
speech, but said simply nothing,
except that he did not believe there
was man in the House who could
explain the subject of currency.
Poor Kapena; that is just about his
size.
Mr.. Neumann is the. only Minis
ter who made any semblancc Of a
defense. He gave reasonable eX-
planation of some Of the smaller
items against him, and very in
geniously skipped the large ones. No
other Attorney General has ever had
a deputy in addition to clerk. But
ne has employed II deputy
straight along at an expense of S400
month, without any appropriation
therefore; and his only explanation
is THAT there is no law forbidding
him to employ deputy, and that
when he employs man he gets a
good one and pays him we'll" He
says not one word about his illegal
transfer Of $1,000 to the Foreign
Office to pay for ordnance; and his
participation in the 'cabinet coun-
ser' appropriations in defiance of
law are not deemed worthy Of men
ton.
Mr.. Gulick said that the money
received from planters for immi-
grants was considered as part pay
ment of the expenses, and not a
Government realization. There is
reason in such a statement, and it
will pass for an explanation of that
item; but here he stopped. No
reason why no books of account are
kept in the immigration Bureau. No

have not touched on all points of
the report. | spent an hour this
morning, but there is so little charge
no charge of wrong, or embezzlc-
mcnt, to warrant the words of the
last speaker. 1.-The man charge
seems to be the transfer of money
from one department to another.

tude for spending it. The contracts

GOOD architect. some of them [
regarded as hastily made, but
! had nothing whatever to do with
them. and the man who received the
benefits from them, and whose
family are now enjoying them, is
dead. The Minister then went on
to comment on various items, but
nothing new was elected.
Mr.. Widemann moved the Com
mittee rise and report progress, and
ask to sit again. The motion was
carried and the House soon after
adjourned.

THE LEGISLATURE

The next statement Mr.. Gibson
referred to was in regard to the APP
pointment of a lady teacher, receiv-
ing higher salary than is generally
paid, and that favoritism seemed to
have been shown This is an en-
tirely untrue statement. If lady
can be found to fill a position, is it
not proper to put them in, and shall
recompense be abated on account of
sex. The Committee also call atten-
ton to the School Agent at Waikiki,
whose bond only amounts to $4,000,
while he has in his hand balance
of over 50, 900 cash. | would call
the attention of the House to the
fact that the Chairman of Finance
Committee when registrar of public
accounts, which duties he ably filled,
had only a bond of $4,000 while
he handled thousands of dollars.
Mr.. G. Brown interrupted the
Minister, and reminded him that
bonds for registrar were provided
by statue.
Mr.. Gibson continuing, was sure
those thousands were safe without
bond. The report says, the ac-
counts of the Board of Health are
not in satisfactory condition, |
have number of books here with
entries made by different hands,
some not in good shape. In order
to show the Committee the accounts
in good order, | got new book and
re-entered them, but have retained
to is the bill of Mr.. Dodd for
omnibus hire S245.75, and Mrs.
Hayselden for 2 months rent of
house 1925. | wish the Committee
had spoken to me about this, as |
could have explained these matters,
and not made it necessary for them
to publish them in the report. The
bus was for the eight Sisters of
Charity, to carry them from Kaka-
ako to their church, to attend mass
which is obligatory with them, and /
wish to God we all had faith like
these ladies. 1t was very self-sacri-
ticing on their part to look after the
poor lepers, and the Government
could not do otherwise than bear
this expense. The rent of the
house was also for the sisters. to
shelter them until accommodations
were completed at Kakaako, the
house was furnished, and they had
the services of two Portuguese.
The report says we have spent
money without legal authority for
public buildings and soundings.
There was a Loan Act for borrowing
money to be spent in various OBJ
| iects. The Ministers do not feel
that they have made any mis-appro-
! priation of legal funds. There is a
great deal to be said and my col
leagues will answer for themselves.
Before | close, | must refer to
one unfortunate slap at me. That
is the item of S18,17O.62 paid to
II. c. 4. and Eielc. l must say
this statement is gross misrepre-
sentation, as the whole amount paid
is only S11,300. The report says
the GdGette has only received
| $3, 1882, but | can show it was
paid about $4,000 which includes
the printing for the Legislative
Session of 1882. | would call at
tention to the fact that the Commit
tee concludes its report without one
word of expression of hope for the
welfare of the country.
The House took a recess at l2:15
until 80 p. NJ.
