What I Saw and Heard

oyster is worth a quarter of a
dollar, to be sure, but it is
there. | was informed that
Colonel Spreckels had it also
in mind to put up a brewery
at Honolulu, lager beer now
costing twenty-five cents a
glass, and having a popular
garden with music annexed.
1t is an excellent idea, and
one fully deserving of en-
enlargement likewise.
The wealthy colonel is a
middle-sized, middle-aged,
portly, florid gentleman, with
iron-gray beard and hair,
clear, cold blue-eyes, an
emphatic, but by no means
unpleasing, manner of speak
ing, a scarcely preceptible
foreign accent, and a hearty,
honest, German address. He
told me he was born in Han
over, but came early to this
country. He is a handsome,
generous man, military of
bearing, and of a somewhat
gunpowdery temperament, |
was informed; but / do net
believe it myself.
1t was said upon the island
that Colonel Spreckels had
largely influenced the APP
pointment of the premier to
the chiefship of the bureau of
foreign affairs, and was also
instrumental in transferring
to that special sphere of up
right effort the present incrlm-
bent of the honorable office
OF attorney general, the
gallant General Rosecrans's
late unsuccessful rival for
Congress from California.
In short, Colonel Spreckels
cannot be regarded other than
in the light of an undivided
and unadulterated blessing to
the islands so OPPORTUNITY
subject to his bounty. King
Kalakaua is fortunate in
possessing SO magnificent and
magnanimous an auxiliary to
his dainty Hawaiian domin-
ions. May he long live to
enjoy so spirited, unselfish
and indomitable an ally.
By the way, in Washington
it was my fortune this very
day to hear of Caesar Celsius
Morino, the former premier
of the Hawaiian Islands. He
was dispossessed of his stately
power and authority at the
court of Honolulu, it will be
remembered, by a revolution
in Hawaiian affairs, precipita-
ted during his absence in this
country upon special mission
to Congress. Morino was no
lover of the United States,
however, and was jealous and
wary of American influences
and interests. Heisnow living
in Genoa, Italy, in retirement,
and awaiting with philosophi-
cal patience another Hawaiian
revolution, when he hopes to
be restored to his former i'm
portant post in the Pacific.
He is said to be man of more
than ordinary ability and talent
for affairs, something of a
philanthropist in his views.
and a would-be benefactor OF
the human family anywhere,
1t is strange how many such
good Samaritans drift down
to the Sandwich Islands when
any little reverse or disap-
pointment overtakes then
elsewhere on earth. Perhaps

THE LEFT SIDE THE BETTER.-The left
side of the face is the right; statistics prove
the paradox. Artists always put the best
touches, finest shading and most delicate
tints on the left side of the profile. Actors,
actresses, and public singers always make a
half turn to the right when they wish to inn
press their audiences. Young ladies de-
sirous of bewitching their gentlemen friends
always walk on the right hand side. Why?
Because science has shown that the left side
of the face is the more beautiful, or less
ugly. The left hand is more magnetic than
the right-the left breast has more grace
full contour than the opposite, and the glance
of the left eye has beWitching power of
which the right is hopelessly innocent. The
theme will bear infinite expansion, but we
forbear to pursue it. The remarkable part
of the now we'll known fact is that the dis
covery was made by the Chinese. In the
year 1881 Ah Hing Fly Foy had family of
II daughters. They were all left handed,
and were greatly sought in marriage by
members of the royal household So ire
sistible were the charms of these moon-eyed
maidens that every man who looked upon
them became enslaved. 70 save the Em-
pire from internecine war for their posses
sion, the Emperor made an edict that the
daughters of All Hing Fly Foy should be
allowed to have 13 husbands each, but that
in the future all left handed girls should be
strangled at their birth.-Stn Francisco

MEASUREMENT OF CHARACTER.-T The
use of measuring man in his entirety is to
be justified by exactly the same arguments
as those by which any special examina-
tions are justified, such as those in classes
of mathematics; namely, that every meas
urement tests, in some particulars, the ade-
quacy of the previous education, and con-
tributes to show the efficiency of the man
as a human machine at the time it was
made. 1t is impossible to be sure of the
adequacy in every respect of the rearing OF
a man, or of historical efficiency, unless he
has measured in character and physique, as
we'll as in intellect. A wise man desires
this knowledge for his own use, and for the
same reason that he takes stock from time
to time of his finances. 1t teaches him his
position among his fellows, and whether he
is getting on or falling back, and he shapes
his ambitions and conduct accordingly.
"Know thyself," is an ancient phrase of pro-
verbal philosophy.

THE Cook AN ARTIsT.-The chief cook of
a leading hotel in New York lately admitted
a reporter to his inner sanctum, and there
confdeed to him the great secret Of the cook
ing art. 'Everything in its raw state,"
says the oracle, "has distinctive taste, but
the cooks art is to bring it to the surface so
that it reaches the palate. The secret in
our profession is to supply fiavors where
they are absent and to develop them when
they are there, just as the painter makes
his effect stand out from the canvas"

sa~ Nobody is satisfied in this world. If
legacy is left man, he regrets that it is
not larger. If he finds sum of money, he
searches around for more. If he is elected
to some high Office, he wishes for better
one. If he is rich and wants for nothing,
man, he is looking for wife; if married,
for children. Of these latter blessings some
men have too many, some too few, and
some none at all. Man is never satisfied.

How THEY DID IT IN 44-Governor
Fairfield, of Maine, on his return from
Philadelphia, on the first of June, 1874, as
the chairman of a committee Of the National
Democratic Convention to inform MIR. Dal-
las of his nomination as President, gave
an amusing account of the scene. The COM
mittee reached Philadelphia about three
o'clock in the morning, and were piloted to
Mr.. Dallas house by his friend, Senator Rob
ert J. Walker, who was one of the number.
Loud knocks at the door brought Mr.. Dallas
to his chamber window, and recognizing
Mr.. Walker, he feared that his daughter,
who was in Washington, was ill, and he
hastened down stairs, half dressed and bare
footed, to hear from her, when to his utter
amazement, in walked sixty or more gen.
tleman, two by two, with the tread of SOL
diers passing him by, and entering his front
parlor as though to make him captive.
Mr.. Dallas had not the slightest conception
of their object, and stood thunderstruck at
the scene, Mr.. Walker led him into the
back parlor. "My dear Walker" said he
in amazement, "what is the matter ?'
"Wait one moment, if you please, Dallas,
wait one moment, if you please" The
folding doors were then thrown open, and
the whole delegation stepped forward and
gave three deafening cheers for "Polk and
Dallas!" Mr.. Dallas stood paralyzed. Mr..
Walker enjoyed his discontinue. Gov.
Fairchild, of Maine, then stepped forward
and announced his nominatiOn.-Ben.P Peer

MONKEY MIND.-A French experiment
ing account of observations on monkeys, es-
pecially Macacus rhes,ts. One of these ami
mails, having been frightened at seeing a
gun discharged at some sparrows, extended
his fear to a toy pistol suspended from his
masters watch-chain, and even to the figure
of revolver illustrating an armorer's cata-
logue. Several species of monkeys recognize
pictures Of animals-a proof of the superb
ority of their intelligence over that of dogs
and elephants. The rhesus knew the names
of some sixty or seventy animals confined
in cages in the room he could fully under
stand the expression Of the human counte-
nance, could estimate weights and had
certain, though not strong, sense of number.

Is IT THE ORIGINAL HORSE New
facts bearing upon the origin of the domess-
tic horse are eagerly received, and much
interest was aroused three years ago by the
announcement by Pizevalski, the great Rus
sian explorer, that he had discovered in
Central Asia, a wild horse more closely allied
to the domestic species than any other pre-
viously known. A full description of the
new horse-known as Eqams Prezerdlskii-
has only very recently been translated from
the Russian. 1t appears that the animal is
intermediate in many respects between the
true horse and the asses. 1t has a short,
erect name, no forelock, and the hairs of the
tail do not extend the whole length of the
tail, but only from about the middle down.
ward, while on the other hand, it has broad
hoofs and small ears. The color is whitish
gray, with red or blackish legs. In herds
of from five to fifteen each, the animals in
habit the driest and widest parts of the
Dsungarian desert, and are very shy. It's
pointed out by Mr.. w. w. Watts that
drawings made by ancient French dwelers
very accurately represent this horse.

LIFEs BURDENs.-A large part Of life's
burdens are self-imposed and wholly need
less. Fears of calamities which never
happen, doleful habit Of looking at
the worst, suspicious disposition, a jeal-
GUS turn of fmind-these are the tyrants that
load US with burdens heavy to bear and
needless to carry. If we should honestly
examine the various burdens Of our lives,
we would be surprised to find how many of
them are of this character. Not only may
ers demands that we should. A man or
woman habitually unhappy is essentially
selfish, and is always thorn in the com
munity. There are enough crosses and tri-
ais in life which must be borne, without
manufacturing artificial and needless ones;
and the more thoroughly we rid ourselves
of the latter, the more energy and spirit we
can bring to bear upon the former.

MEN WITHOUT OCCUPAT1oN.-Them man
who has nothing to do is the most mis-

wealth a man possesses, he can neither be
contented nor happy without occupation.
We are born to labor and the world is our
vineyard. We can find a field of usefulness
almost anywhere. In occupation we forget
our cares, our worldly trials, and our sor-
rows. 1t keeps us from constantly worry
ing and brooding over what is inevitable.
If we have enough for ourselves we can Ia
Dor for the good of others; and such a task
is one of the most delightful duties Wor-
thy and good man can possibly engage
in.-Erchdnge.

WESTERN CYCLoNEs.--Up the Platte
River, in Nebraska as you may have heard,
it blows. And elbow" in Nebraska is diff
ferent from what it is in Illinois. The Or
binary summer breeze of Nebraska would
make an Illinoisan hunt his cyclone cellar,
and what a Nebraska man calls blow is a
widely different sort of arrangement Cy-
clones are not common in the great treeless
State this year. We were out there few
days since, and learned that they did not
average more than threea week. Occasion
ally they have two in one day, but not very
often. The Platte Riyer has two channels.
When the wind is in the south it fills one;
when in the north the other. We are cred
IDLY informed by an old native-one who
came through with the forty-niners-that
the Platte sometimes overfloWs its banks,
and green people think it has been raining
above, when it is simply the wind blowing
up stream and again, it goes almost entire.
Iy dry when the wind is down stream. All
the stories of fish showers are true, and
they are blown out of the Platte. People
90 round in the evening regularly, looking
to see whether the cables that hold the
houses to the ground are all secure, and it
is nothing for them to sleep for hours with
the house two or three feet above the ground.
They have perfect contempt in that coun-
try for cyclone caves or cellars, and people
who have become accustomed to the wind
say they wouldn't give snap for breeze
that couldn't blow away hole in the
ground.
