ing you some items from this part of
Idaho, thinking they may be of interest
to your readers; especially as the country
is now and almost daily showing new
sources of wealth. Last September
there were numerous strikes made in the
mountains that adioin this valley on the
West and South that are showing up worry
rich; white carbonates, lead carbonates,
black oXyde of copper, and sulphurets
are here found in large quantities and of
a grade high enough to make them very
valuable. Some of the mines are worked
quite extensively at present, among
which are, the Mammoth, which is
down sevonty-five feet, has three hun
dred tons of ore on the dump. Tho vein
is four feet; character of ore, white car

Tho Gray Eagle is another good prop
erty, has only thirty feet of work done
on it, but shows black oxydes of copper
in paying quantities, vein five feet, 40
tons of ore on the dump; owned by Nc
Allister, Powers n Co. The Hcrmiso,
owned by the same parties, carries lead
carbonates valued at 5000 per ton; also
the Pelican, (new discovery float assays,

acres of good soil, in region neither
liable to be injured by floods or
frosts, ought to easily produce all
the sugar that our people will care
to use for some years to come"
What are we to do? Shall we sit
down idly until the crisis comes upon
us? Why not at once seek a remedy
and be prepared for the inevitable?
We may have few years longer
lease of the San Francisco sugar
market, so let us make the most of
that time. Every plantation in the
Kingdom imports what is required,
from year to year, to assist in its
effectual working. Many of these
imported articles might be grown by
the planters themselves if they
would only set aside q small pro-
portion of their acreage for the pro-
duction of crops other than sugar.
We could produce maize, all kinds
of fodder for stock, potatoes, -four,
grapes and other fruits, and many
things besides.
This flood for thought will, we
know, have an unpalatable taste to
many, but we intend to refer to it
again as we feel that the time has
come when every merchant and
planter must look his present condi-
ton and his future prospects straight
in the face.

STRAIGHT IN the FACE.

How many of our business men,
wholesale or retail, mechanics or
laborers venture to look the present
condition of the Hawaiian Kingdom
straight in the face2 Some have
done so, but many do not relish
what is seen in the mirror and post
pone the examination, hoping that
the aspect of affairs will change.
The sole support of the country is
sugar. 1t was once the whaling
fleet, but, whalers having deserted
us, we had to discover a new in
dustry, and we found sugar. What
other industries have we to fall back
upon should sugar fail us? Moth
ing.
Some will think it absurd to i'm
agine that sugar can fail us. 1t is
not absurd but stern reality which
we must face. The price of sugar
has decreased steadily for months.
1t may rise again for brief period
but it will be lower and remain lower
than it is to-day. Why? Because
there will be more competition and it
will be grown at less cost elsewhere
than it can be in this Kingdom.
The cultivation of sorghum sugar
has been pronounced success, and
the cost of its cultivation is trivial.
1t can be easily raised throughout
the United States and sold there at
much lower rates than we can afford
to sell our produce. The treaty be-
tween the United States and Mexico
is great blow to Hawaii. Mexico
will develop, by the use of American
capital, into an enormously produc-
tive sugar growing country. An
American authority on the subject
states that "Sugors to lot0rize
89o to 90o, color 10, are produced
on the prime lands Of MeeicO at q
cost Of one and a haF cents per
I pound, md this figure aOiU be loao-
ered." There is not q planter in
the Kingdom who can compete with
such rates of production, emitting
the extra cost of double shipment
till our produce reaches San Fran
cisco. Another authority says:
"The removal of the duty on
sugar gives a great advantage to the
Mexican cane planters over those of
Louisiana, and, favored as they will
be by a virgin soil and tropical
climate, they may soon have the
sugar market of the United States to
themselves. Less than two million

POI.

1t is universally conceded by the
medical practitioners Of these islands
that the national staff of life, poi, is
wholesome and nutritious food.
The well developed and powerful
muscular system of the native Ha-
waiian, whose principal article of
diet is poi, is satisfactory proof that
the doctors are not mistaken. Many
foreigners who have come to these
sunny shores debilitated and in quest
of health, also bear testimony to the
recuperative effects of poi diet.
Instances can be cited of persons
having sought in vain for the resto-
ration of health and vigor in medi-
cines, costly wines, and change of
climate. who have discovered the
desired blessing by the use of poi.
In short, extremely few find this
simple food to disagree with their
stomachs, OF fail to derive benefit
from it's use. What wonder then
that it should form an important
part of the dietary programme of
many white families on the islands.
1t is food which most foreigners
do not like at first, but soon acquire
a taste for when induced to try it;
while children born of foreign
parents on the islands seem to take
as naturally to it as the pure blooded
Hawaiians themselves. The usual
method of manufacture, in which
the hands are freely used for knead-
ing and mixing, undoubtedly con-
stitutes strong and valid objection
to the use of poi as food. 1t is felt,.
and cannot be denied, that there is
danger of transmitting communica-
BILE distempers from diseased to
healthy persons by this means. A
conviction of this fact has operated
very much against the use of poi
among foreigners of late, and also
among thoughtful natives. Probably
this fact induced the Alden Fruit &
Taro Co., of Wailuku, to devise a
method of preparation which is en-
tirely free from the Objectionable
feature just now referred to. By
this method the taro undergoes a
process of artificial drying, and is
Their ground into flour. In this state
it may be kept for an indefinite
length of time, and can be converted
into poi as required for use, just as
easily as, in fact more easily than,
wheat -four can be made into bread.
The taro flour can now be obtained
from any grocer in Honolulu, and
families can furnish themselves with
a pure article of poi, eating to their
hearts content, without risk or fear,
by adhering to the following direc-
tions: Mix the flour with cold
water, making thick paste. Place
the paste into cotton cloth or bag !;
tie the cloth OF bag with a string,
then immerse the whole in boiling
water for from half an hour to one
hour and half, according to the
quantity. When thoroughly cooked,
take it out of the cloth, and when
cold stir with stout spoon or potato
masher; and when mixed, add water
as desired"

Messrs. Griffith and WedmOre are two
gentlemen from the North who have been

between times, aud setting out nursery.
The buds were put in too late, and the
frost Of last winter made them look very
sick. Then in broad daylight two ne
grOes went into their house and took out
some two hundred dollars worth of
watches, guns blankets etc Some of
these were recovered, but most of them
went with the thief to Georgia. The
boys filled the corners of the room
with weapons of Offense and all was
quiet again. Gradually the music of
the wind-harp in the pines filled no more
with terror Griffith's soul; he covered up
his head no more at the boot of the owl.

shudder and grow pale at the whoop of

lions of Palatka. Night fell on Griffith.

ever much he was startled when Mig.

against his hand. But he took Mig to
bed with him, and slept soundly because
he knew not that the dog had deserted
him and returned to its usual haunt by
the river bank. Next morning all was
serene and our CrusOe went to the land
ing to meet the Comet on its way ito
Crescent City. After considerable con-
fabulation with Captain Miller. our hero
turned and saw the woods in rear of his
house filled with fire, which driven bv
strong wind was surging rapidly towards
his grounds. He rushed back. He
fought the fire with heavy brushes. but
the heat drove so many bugs, lizards and
snakes out of the hammock that he was
compelled to retreat. Then the flames
came on with rush and laid low the
mansion of these youthful settlers.
Mr.. Griffith is now in town at Graham's,
and looks as clipper as ever, his shirt is
as spotless and his tie as neat. The bows
who buckle on dozen revolvers and
start West to kill Indians had better come

How Negro Missionary Worked the

New London Special.
REV" w. A. T. Smith, colored, now
in Jail here awaiting trial in the superior
court for swindling under the pretense of
being an African missionary. has made
confession, in which he said he was new
er authorized as a missionary, but made
a good living by his false representations.
He has been in the swindling business for
ten years, and used all the money raised
by himself. Hesays he never gave a cent
for missionary work, and that he never
had an accomplice. Smith secured let
ter of recommendation from John B.
Cough. He would work his passage to
America, and after swindIing church peo-
pie by getting money to found a mission
airy home for the old people in Senegam-
bia, would return to Africa. He says he
expected to establish a home for himself.
He was just starting out on a swindiing
tour when arrested Hesays he will now
turn new leaf, and, when released, will
labor for the conversion of hisrace. Smith
is 53 years Of age. He will plead guilty
and throw himself upon the mercy Of the
court
