say that statement made in lase

more than it does them there would
not be much need to resent it. Peo@e

of tactics and have seen SO many fiat

The next paper is on the Political
and Social Future of Hawaii" a
thoughtful expression of the averag~
white man's ideas about the subject.
On this we reserve our COMMENT; it
wan at least whole article to it
self. 1t comes from the pen of the
Rev. Serene Bishop. DIR. Hyde gives
a further contribution to the study of
the native language. It contains
much matter of interest, but being
only made up of random notes." as
the author calls them, is not very
systematic. We note one remark on
the English language which we do
not agree with. DR.. Hyde says THE
usual rule in Hawaiian, as in Eng
lish, is to accent the penult of
words, the last syllable but one"
This is the rule in SEINE lam
guages of the Latin group, Spanish
and Italian especially, but certainly
not III English as spoken by English
men. We hear learned counsel here
prOnOunci'g testimony with a long
so" and the accent on the penult.
That may be good for the latitude
and longitude of Boston or some
other seat If American learning and
neophony, but it would not pass in
the English House of Commons, and
is essentially un-EngIish. For
generation past, at least, the tendency
of English speech has been to do
away with the ponderous and sing
song pronunciation which the in
Fiction of what we may call the
Italian rule on English words gives
rise To. All the best EnglI h speakers
bring the one accent OF the word as
far back as possible, taking the first
sy liable for it by preference. AS
for this aggressive
criticism we reproduce the following
remarks from DR.. Hyde's
article, wlich we commend to the at
tentien of all who have Pretemlions TO
be native scholars:
"Hhe HawaIians have their Own
ideas of literary style and finish and
the attempt ought to lie to save fr"nI
pbiivI"n what they would regard as
Though they had no
way of recording and SO preserving !
the knowledge of the past, they had |
the rIietoricians ami their orators; |
there IS great difference in natural |
Iualitict ttinls; some have u genius |
for language, an inhoru lastefulness, /
so that the choice of fit expressions
and the utierance of agreeable seuti- /
nents Is easy for them, requiring no
at'"rious affnrt either for prepara-
ion or for delivery. To know the
Hawaiian language only from the
'ch"o' books or the religious treatises
hat have been printed and published
or their benefit, is like such kuowl-
.dge of English as one might get, if
to studying Wilson'S
primers and reading books"

THE SEASIDE HOTEL FuEND.


How dear TO his heart is the coming Of Sum-
mer,
Which lessons the knots of his patrons
purse-stTings!
How sweet the reflection that soon they must
come or
Be victimized home by the evil it bringsl
How gladly he sees the thermometer rising
And creeping along with the nineties quite
near;
And really behaves in manner surprising
When he learns weather prophets predict a
hot year.
The stfngs of mosquitoes have balm for his
bosom.
The buzz OF the bee has musical sound,
The dog-days' discomforts he freely would
choose em
Ere spare his poor victims the pangs that
abound.
For him there's no pain, be it ever so torrid,
For him no regret that in town business
Tags:
And of heat equatorial really he brags.
His body may battle in warm perspiration,
In his face may the sunshine increasingly
flare,
And the pests of the Summer in vast aggre-
cation
Assail his own person-no whit does he care;
For well does he know that the torment in
human
viii drive tortured souls to his precincts
peil-nell;
And lie goats oer the sufferings of man and
of woman,
Does The fiend at the seaside who keeps the
hotel.

The CarbOniferOus Jungle.

If we could suddenly transplant our
selves from the gardens and groves of
the nineteenth century into the midst OF
carboniferous jungle on the delta of
some forgotten Amazon or some prime
val Nile, we should find ourselves sur
rounded by strange and somewhat
monotonous scenery, very different from
that of the varied and beautiful world
IN which we ourselves now live. The
huge foliage of gigantic tree-ferns and
titanic club-mosses would wave over
our heads, while green carpet of pretty
trailing creepers would spread luxu-
riantly over the damp soil beneath our
feet. Great swampy flats would stretch
around us on every side; and instead of
the rocky or undating hills of our
familiar Europe, we should probably
see the interior country composed only
of low ridges, untitled as yet by the
slow upheayal of ages into the Alps or
Pyrenees of the modern continent. But
the most striking popularity of the scene
would doubtless be the wearisome uni
formity of its prevailing colors. Earth
beneath and primitive trees overhead
would alike present single field of I'M
varying green. No scarlet flower,
golden fruit, or gay butterfly would
give CLEAN of brighter and warmer col
oring to the continuous verdure of that
more than tropical forest. Green and
green, and green again; wherever the
eye fell it would rest alike upon one
monotonous and unrelieved mass of
harsh and angular yerdure. - Grant
