COMMUNICATIONS.

J. J. Owens' Statements About The
 Sandwich Islands.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
 The stale lies of one J. J. Boardman, of San Francisco, concerning the work and character of missionaries neither deserve nor call for any special attention. Their work lives and shall bear fruit when the last of their defamers shall have been forgotten by the generation that was cursed by them. But one or two reflections may be permitted and a question two perhaps. The name as well as the stories of "Owen" has an ancient odor, like unto decayed fish, and the first question that arises is this: Was this the same Owen who visited Honolulu some years since and ''owin'" to some misfortune or otherwise left under cloud2" Or was it the "Owsn" who when visiting the islands found such hospitality among the very men whom he islanders as ought to make him ashamed to even think the evil things that he so freely writes about them? Possibly neither of these hypotheses could be proved, but so many exactly similar cases have occurred that he must not be offended if, being found in the vile company of slanderers, he receives even more than his share of punishment.
 We suggest that he join the De Young Chronicle crowd and, in order to reach the foundation of things, begin with his curses upon the unfortunate Spanish navigators who discovered the Sandwich Islands away back in sixteen hundred and something, and then touch up the memory of Captain. Cook, who rediscovered them later on, and was partially punished for it by the loss of his life and some of his limbs. Should he even curse the fathers and mothers of those venerable ''salts," he will find it less dangerous than to cast slurs upon a we'll bred lady of San Francisco because her husband and sons were uncommonly sharp business men. Ct is said that the jury that acquitted Adolph Spreckles in the case of his murderous assault upon De Young had serious doubts whether he ought not to have been fined at least for disgracing his previous good marksmanship.)
 There is a certain s'Dr. - M. D." who drives about our streets and occupies his spare time in cursing religion and reiig- ious people en masse. On the books of those who have unfortunately trusted him it reads Dr. and the M. D. is transformed into 8 muttered d. and the M is not heard Let "Owen' come and take lessons of our friend and acquire a length and breadth and depth and fullness of ''cussing" and "cussedness'' which will surprise him after little while.

About the only things in oul Cotton Dress Goods Stock not likely to sell were a lot of fine Scotch Ginghams at 4oc yard and some French Sateens at 35c. They were too fine quail ties and too high priced. They are just as fine now, but the price has been made I8c. They are bargain.
 We looked through the En- broidery Stock last week and found some short lengths some soiled pieces-some pieces which have been with us too long. We laid out a table full of bargains. In the lot are some at soc which were marked s$I and $I.25, some at 25c which were z5c, some not marked down as much,- but all very cheap and positive bargains.
 Remember please that we have made reductions in the prices of all our Dress Goods, all our Black Goods, all our Silks and Velvets.

DAKOTA

What will the Democrats in Congress do about Dakota this wintera is one of the in -teresting questions. The territory seems to be fairly entitled to statehood. A census has just been taken which shows 8 population exceeding four hundred thousand in the whole territory; about one hundred and fifty thousand, enough for one member of Con- gress, being in that part of the territory which desires separate admission as North Dakota, nearly or quite enough to entitle that part to two members of Congress. There are eighty thousand farms in the terri tory. The population is of stable charac- ter. As State Dakota would to-day rank in population above Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont; while ten years from now, if it's population increases at any thing like the rate it has maintained in the past decade, there would be at least 8 third number of voters.
 The people are very anxious to enjoy the advantages and to exercise the share of power in the government of the country which g State organization would give. The only reason why they are in dan ger of not gaining the object of their desire is that they are likely, if admitted to the Union, to elect senators and representatives of political opinions at variance with those held by the majority party in Congress. But the Democrats can hardly afford to reject them for such rea- son. Perhaps they will make things even by admitting Democratic territory also. The three territories most likely to be considered are Utah, New Mexico and Washington. It is hardly possible that the Democrats will dare to let Utah in until the Mormon prob lem is in different shape. There are objec- tions to New Mexico. Washington territory has the best chance. It already has a popu- lation large enough to form 6 congressional district, is rapidly growing in population and wealth, and bids fair to be powerful State.
 But whether any other territory is admit ted or not, it is certain that Dakota is enti tied to admission. And it won't do the Democrats any permanent good to keep her out for political reasons.

the estimated population is about twenty two thousand souls, all of whom are of the Malay race. In number there are about five hundred of the islands, but only eight are of any material size. In February last Spain publicly instructed the Governor of the Phil hppine islands to take military possession of the Carolines, but he had not completed his preparations when the recent German seizure was made
 An interesting antiquarian discovery was made recently in field near Dunfermline, Scotland, in the shape of tumuli of large dimensions. Some masons were digging for sand in the vicinity when tumuli were come upon. Already four cists with large quanti- ty of implements of the Stone Age, and not less than two thousand years old, have been turned up. The urns were three feet six inches in length by one foot six inches in breadth, and about ten inches in depth. They were all filled with black mould, in which was placed a clay urn about five inch es in depth and twenty inches in circumfer- ence. There were also flint flakes, arrow heads, pestles and other implements inside the cists or near them. The work of excava- ton will probably now be carried under the supervision of gentleman representing the Scottish Society of Antiquaries.
 An English lady who has been visiting Can ada expresses in the Pall Mall Gazette the opinion that "a judicious and gradual influx of highly cultivated English women into Canada and the United States would be as great boon to those countries as it would be relief to Great Britain" Her reason for this opinion is thus stated: Although the ladies in the older cities of the North American continent are, with scarcely any exceptions, superior to English gentlewomen in brain power, in clearness of mental vision, in common sense, in practical, sound judg- ment, and in general intelligence, yet we miss in them that indefinable charm which always clings to highly cultivated Europe an." Thank you, ma'am. There is no cry ing need of importing highly cultivated Flu ropean ladies in this part of North America. The ladies of this region have great many charms. both defnable and indefnable; quite enough in fact.
