The system of reports rendered by the several sher1s

The accounts of the Oahu Prison showed an amount
of uncollected bills for labor of prisoners due March 81

the Palace SIG SO on Coronation accounts, and the

he had been unable to collect these amounts and by the

No accounts appear to be kept in this office, except

the Governor of Oahu were drawn The Committee OBJ

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The accounts of the Board of Education are kept in
clear and comprehensive manner: the balances were
correct and the vouchers in order An investigation OF
the expenditures for the period showed that one OF the
statements of the President of the Board IN his ohcaI
report was misleading The statement is, Thus 1t will
be seen that there remains uneXpended balance on
account of the Bureau of Education OF S45I65 W. and
of the large OF $4,000 voted by the last Assembly

The fact is that s6s,956 rs expended by the
Board for that object during the period The amount OF
$4.537 50 only was taken from the appropriation as

the cash general funds of the Board, and from the

SULLIYAN's PROWESs.
His Meeting with an Oregon Giant

The Astoria, Oregon, Independent says:
"Our oitizsns are all familiar with Syl-
vester LIE Gowrih, native Of France, who
has lived in Astoria for some time.
Probably no man on this coast has as
much muscular power rs this giant of
strength. In wrestling he has thrown a
number of professional wrestlers in San
Frauosco, and his wonderful movers of
sDdursrce have surprised every one who
has seen his exhibitions. Last winter
on wager, he performed a remRrkable
feat. Two men seated themselves in
chairs, and Le Gowritf grssping the bot
tom back round o. each chair, lifted ons
With each hRnd snd set them
on counter three feet high
Not long ago he was making
his bragg that be could break two inch
plank with his fist, AID a nun ber of gsn
tlemen, anxious to see this done, tried to
lind plank, but unsucceasfnlly. They
produced three boards one iuch thick
and nailed them together and set them
| up. Sylvester marched up to the boards
| aud let drive with his tist, aud the boardu
were split in several pieGee. His fist did
not chow even hruise or scratch We
do not know that this wonderful man la
the requisite scientific kEowledge to cope
with man like Sullivan, hut one thi4g
We are certain Of, il he ever g-ts blow

family who read the Waverly novels
aloud five times ss her children became
old enough to hear. The hour after tea
belonged to the boy or girl who was, say
8 or l0yesrs old. That boy or girl had,
so to speak, the right to hear
mamma or somebody else read
aloud. Well, you can read
aloud any Wsverly novel in a month, II
you read an hour and little more every
evening. In the two years when each OF
these children claimed this privilege,
which their mothers perseverance gave
them, they would read, each OF them,
with her, 20 OF the best Of these stories
They would talk them over with her.
Probably they would not have read them
alone. But by the time those two years
were ended, and another child had the

A special to the Philadelphia Pes

feet long. This was attached to rope

dropping down tie tubing till IL reached

A Valentine Ah, can it be
That some one has addressed to me
These lines so sweet and tender3
Name or initial If not set
Upon the page, and yet-and yet
think know the sender.
What though the writing be disguised,
And many a little trick devised
To aid the fond deception;
ST. Valentine provides the key
That spoils the little mystery
The moment of reception.
We may be right, we may be wrong;
For lack of confirmation strong
We give the rein to fancy,
And let her wander at her will,
And her bright destiny fulfil
In fields of necromancy.
And Valentines would lose thar charm
Ii they at once could doubt dis arm
Ere yet the seal was broken:

The more delightful the surprise,
And sweeter is the token.
