making business, and Louis A, who

After fifty years of married life,
bearing together the sorrows and
sharing alike the joys of existence,
these two, so long united as one,
still live, blessed with peace and
comfort, and look for many happy
days yet to come. The event was
celebrated last evening, at their
residence on Punchbowl street, by
a reception which lasted from $50
TO 10 o'clock. Invitations had been
issued to large number of friends,
and throughout the evening there
was one continual stream to offer
their congratulations. Approaching
the house the scene was one of
splendor. The trees were de-
corated with palm leaves and
from the branches beautifully
colored lanterns we're strung. A
row of lanterns was also hung across
the gateway. The verandah was
covered with lanterns, giving very
pretty effect. On the makai side q
large lanai was erected, the inside
of which was most tastefully deco
rated with flags and evcrgreens. In
the centre was floral dome from
the summit of which hung large
lantern, beneath which on the floor
music box played pretty airs. The
front parlor, where Mr.. and Mrs.
Dat received their numerous friends,
was one mass of evergreens, dotted
here and there with golden stars,
the work Of many friends. At one
corner green floral marriage bell,
covered with golden colored flowers,
was suspended, and under this the
venerable couple received. Mr..
and Mrs. j. NJ. Dat, Jr., received
the guests at the front entrance and
conducted them into the parlor.
One of the pleasant features was the
reading of poem by Mr.. j. M.
Dat, Jr., written expressly for the
occasion by Mrs. b. f. Dillingham;.
A number of very handsome pre-
sents were displayed on a table in
one corner of the parlor, consisting
of various articles of gold and sill
verware, also q card receiver made
out Of wood fifty years old. His
Elk. Jno. o. Dominis kindly sent the
Royal Hawaiian Band around, which
was total surprise to the family.
1t played some most beautiful Sc
leetions throughout the evening.
At 10 O'Clock most of the invited
guests had taken their departure,
and as a finale the band played
Home Sweet Home" The whole
affair was one long to be remembered.

NIGHT SoUNDs.-Every one has noticed
how many singular sounds are heard at
night-noises apparently unexplainable,
and consequently mysterious. Many a
ghost story has sprung up from an unac-
countable noise; many person terrified
beyond measure by an unexpected sound at
midnight. Sir David Brewster gives au ex-
cellent account of mysterious night sound
which would have frightened many per-
sons, but which proved innocently harmless
when tested by steady observer. A gen.
tleman heard a strange sound every night
soon after getting into bed, his wife heard
it also but not at the time when she retired,
q little earlier than he. No probable cause
could could be assigned, and the effect on
the Imagination became rather unpleasant.
He found sometime afterward that the
sound came from wardrobe which stood
near the head of his bed. He almost always
opened and closed this wardrobe when I'M
dressing, but as the door was little tight
he could not quite close it. The door pos
sibly affected by gradual changes of tenn
perature, forced itself open with sort of
dull sound, which was over in an Instant
From the lady not being in the habit OF
using that wardrobe, the mystery became
associated with her husband only. Had
they given way to imagination and never
investigated the affair, another haunted
house would have been added to the long
row already standing.

History of ''Pink Eye"

By Our Agricultural Editor.
This form of horse fever first manifested
itself in this country in its most alarming
form in 1872. 1t then spread all over the
country from East to West, being most
prevalent and fatal in the large cities,
where the horse is subject to the most arti-
fetal and unnatural treatment. But it was
by no means confined to the cities. and ex-
tended over large areas of the rural Sec
tiOns. Tt was then known as ''epizooty. -
But at first it was great puzzle to the
horse doctors, and they did not know what
it was. 1t proved fatal to great numbers,
and laid up nearly ali horses for few days
We remember well that for nearly a week
few horses were seen on the streets of Pc
tersburg and the city wore almost Sab
bath quiet. Before 1872 the disease, or
something akin to. it, was known as influ-
enza
In 1881 the same disease reappeared, but
was less general and of milder type. At
that time it was confined mainly to the
great cities of New York, Chicago, St.
Louis, and Cincinnati. Another proof that
city life is not congenial to the best health
of the horse
Since the latter date pink eye'' has ap-
peared from time to time in various isola.
ted, and often far distant, localities, till
now it seems to have taken a permnent
hold, and is rapidly becoming general
disease.
This being the case, it is of the highest
Importance that the causes which produce
it be veil understood.
1t arises, no doubt. from atmospheric in
fuences of a malarial nature, and is, in
fact, a form of fever, with symptoms more
or less complicated, according to the stage
and acuteness of the disease. Cold and
leaky stables where drafts of air pass over
the horse at night, too long confinement
III damp pastures on cold days, getting
horse heated by work or fast driving and
then leaving it hitched out of doors where
1t cools off too suddenly-these and the like
causes bring on colds, and lay the founda-
ton for .fevers that speedily develop into
this or some other malady. 1t arises, in
fact, mainly from maltreatment, or neglect
OF the most simple precautions for main
tanning the health and usefulness of the
horse. Upon the first sound of alarm in a
nelghborhoOd, hOrse-owners should begin
to watch their animals more closely, and
endeavor to strengthen them against dis
ease by keeping up their appetite and vi
tality. Such tonics as red-oak bark in the
drinking water, and an additional dose of 20
grains of quinine, would be well. Preven-
ton is far easier, and cheaper than cure
Keep your stables clean, and avoid every
thing that would tend to throw the horse
into fever.-Inder-Appedl.

A Peep at POmpeil.

Among the examinations of which casts
were made was that of an old man prone
upon the floor of the cellar of his house,
with bags of gold and jewelry clasped to
his breast. When the alarm of the first
shower of death fell upon the doomed city
he sought safety in flight. Then the
thought of the gold that he had toiled so
long for came to him. There was no time
for delay. Minutes were everything-sec-
Onds counted at that awful moment. He
started for the door, but could not leave
his treasure. Down into the vaults he went
to secure it; he grasped the precious bags
and turned to fly. At the very door the
sitting, poisonous blast, struck him, and
he fell and perished. Twenty centuries
after, the body was found, the bony fingers
| clasping the bags to his bosom, as though
he were determined that death should not
wrest them from him. There was on his
face mixed eXpression-love for his gold
and terror at death, and it would be hard
| to say which was the most pronounced, the
terror of leaving his money or that of dis
solution.
Another in the same house was pitiful.
1t was q young woman, probably the
daughter Of the miser. She had warning
in time, but her child was in an inner room,
and she rushed frantically to save it, and
the delay was fatal to both. The hot, suf-
locating blast struck her at the door, end
she perished on the threshold, with her
child clasped to her bosom. Both clasped to
their hearts what was most dear to them
the father his gold, and the mother her
child.
Gamblers were found scattered about the
tables on which they were playing, the sui
phurous death surprising them at their
business or pleasure, as they were hawks
or pigeons. The gold they were playing
for was left upon the tables, and, by the
way, to show that humanity is the same
everywhere. and in all ages, dice was found
III one gambling room, the opposite to the
six side loaded with lead to make sure of
that number being always thrown. The
gambler in Pompeii 1000 years ago could
substitute false dice for honest ones, and
plumber the innocent as we'll as now.
Cellars and repositories of food were
found, some of them in good state of
preservation, as the shower of ashes had
Theoretically sealed them.
1t is a singular fact that we are indebted
to Pompeii for the great industry of can
ming fruit. Years ago, when the excava-
tions were just beginning, party of Gin
cinnatians found, in what had been the
pantry of house, many jars of pre-
served figs. One was opened, and they
were found to be fresh and good. In
vestigation showed that the figs had bean
put into jars in heated state, and then
sealed with wax. The hint was taken, and
the next year canning fruit was introduced
into the United States, the process being
identical with that in vogue in Pompeii two
thousand years ago.
