Timid people should remember that
cholera is not necessarily a fatal disease.
Thousands recover in any epidemic, and
are healthy and hearty in the future after
an attack. Should you find the symp-
toms upon you, give up at once. remain
quiet in a recumbent posture and by the
aid of judicious medical treatment ther; is
very little doubt that you will recover,
broken down by dissipation, overwork or
by allowing yourself to be nearly fright
ened to death when the attack seizes you.

How it Grows.

There was a rumor about town in the
early part of last Wednesday evening that
one of the clerks had been accidentally
locked up in the Government building when
it was closed for the day, and that he had to
break his way out. An hour later the rumor
was that some men had been arrested by the
watchman at the Government building
while trying to break their way out. The
third edition of the story was that the men
had secreted themselves in the building for
the purpose of robbery, and were arrested
while trying to escape, after giving up the
job. Before morning the report was circu-
lated that band of thieves had hid in the
building before it was closed for the night,
and were arrested while attempting to break
into the Treasury vault. If the night had
been little longer the story would have
been that the Treasury had been robbed, the
Waterman killed, and no trace left of the
robbers and murderers. There was no
foundation for the story.

Progress of St. Andrews Cathedral.
Work on st. Andrews Cathedral is pro-
crossing slowly, Mr.. Lishman, the con-
tractor, now being busted in pointing the
joints in the Stone-work of the interior,
and in finishing the walls between the
arches. The woodwork of the ceiling of
the completed portion of the edifce is
finished, and is receiving its final coat of
varnIsh, the wood being left in its natural
color. The capitas of the pillars will be
carved, as they are now in position, and
when finished will present a handsome
appearance. Another load of cut stone
having been placed on the ground, it is
intended to build two more bays. This
will give enough room in the interior to
accommodate the congregation and leave
sufficient space for the altar. The lack Of
funds interferes seriously with the prose-
cution of the work of finishing the cathe-
dral, and it will be some time before the
whole will be completed in accordance
with the designs.
While speaking of the importation of
stone from England for the cathedral, it
was stated to our reporter that the cost
was about % cents a cubic foot there, as
compared with 80 cents here; and that
the labor of working our island stone was
much greater than that of working the
English, and that wages in England were
five shillings Isl 25) per day, instead of
S. per day, as here. Hence it is that there

ED. P. @. ADyERTIsER-Sir The extra
stab, purely political, and copied from
Democratic papers, in the "Bulletin" of
last evening, and answered by you in such
a courteous manner, would have satisfied
any sensible man other than a foreign
Dem ocrat; but as the Bulletin again re-
turns to the attack, not wilfully, perhaps,
but through ignorance of facts, [ will en-
Tighten him as to the reason why the Hon.
James G.. Blaine did not attend the En-
campment of the G.. A. r. He was not a
member. The G.. A. r. was ably repre-
scented by Comrade Governor Robbie, of
Maine, Ex-Governor Selden Conner and
others; and as the matter was discussed
previous to the meeting, it was decided by
the friends of Mr.. Blaine that he should
not be called upon, or official mention
made of him. As for Comrade General
John A. Logan, he was called on, and l
advise the editor not only of the 'Bul-
letin,n but of every other paper, to read
his speech, and then publish it. / forgot
to mention the honored name of Comrade
Hannibal Hamlin, also from Maine, who
was there; so as on former occasions, Mr..
Blaine's State did not lack representation,
and think it high time that slurs and
inuendoes should cease to be cast on the
name of such friend as J. G. Blaine
has been and is to HAWAII NEI.
1t may be added that General Logan
is Past Commander-in-C Chief of the G..
A. R., and has been identified with it
since its organization.-ED. P. G. A.

religious ceremony of very remarkable

similar risks. The methods Of modern

more effective, though just as coarse and
brutal. The long bow was quite as effective
a weapon as the rife, and modern cannon do
not seem to be any great advance on the

In naval warfare we have actually gone back
again to one OF the most ancient naval
