As preliminary to the start we must
have breakfast, so proceed to the hotel,
kept by an Irishman married to q ma
tive. 1t was a queer conjunction, Celt
with low-caste Guatemalan; but it was
not a success in a high-art sense, al
though a pref aphaelite might have
found an embarras de richesse in the
realism of the surroundings and ad-
juncts.
Everything was au noturel to the
furthest possible limit in the way of dis
order, dirt, and disregard of the pro-
prieties Of a "house Of entertainment. "
The floor of the dining room" was lit
tered with dead insects; great cock
reaches travelled up and down the wall,
mysteriously active; all manner of flies
swarmed in the air and over the filthy
linen of the table, with its broken
crockery that evidently had not been
washed for a month; at the table legs
were tied with rawhide strings two
game cocks, which sought necessarily to
get at one another; in and out of the
room ran pigs and chickens, while
parrots stalked around, making the air
hideous with their croaks and cries. But,
despite all this, we really did enjoy this,
our first meal in Guatemala.

The result Of vice upon the Hawaiian
race is obvious. They are fast dying
out Fifty years from now they will
exist only in history. From a great peo-
pie they have dwindled down to an in.
significant number, and the rest seem
bound to destroy themselves. They
have given up everything to the impe-
cunious Chinaman. Even their poi is
made by them. The highest ambition
OF a large part Of the natives is to sit on
the floor, sleep, eat poi, and die. The
Hawaiian race has no jealousy in its
make up. The race is well satisfied with
the Cinnamon and white men getting
everything. All they want is a horse
and calabash, a native bucket, full of
poi, and a little coarse fish. The
Hawaiian has nc revenge in his compo-
sition. He may have a lawsuit with his
neighbor and defeat him. Then he will
have a native feast, or '1uan," and in
vite the defeated litigant with as much
genuineness as though he were a friend.
The v~anquished always comes, and is as
happy as though the winner. Just so
in church matters. They never carry
spite nor commit murder. They leave
these commendable things to the China
men and the "haule," or white man.

IAH 1871
Two men study some object in nature,
say a plant. One of them will drink in
with his eye all its visible beauty, its
form, its color, the stirring of the wind,
and the delicate play of light and shade
among its leaves. He seizes a brush,
and with a few bold strokes reproduces
all these traits upon a canvas That is
art.
The other observer plucks up the
plant by the roots and brings it home
to his herbarium. There he makes
minute and careful diagrams of it,
probably with the aid Of a camera. he
cuts it up into sections and makes draw
ing OF the sections. lie analyses the
clay at its roots, he counts its juices and
tests for acids in them. That is science,
and therein lies the difference between
the novel writing of, say Nathaniel
Hawthorne and novel writing as Mr..
Howells pursues It.

TnE apprehension that any difficulty
might result even from the death Of both
the president and the vice president in
this country, in the absence Of any legal
successor; is entirely groundless. II snch
an event should occur before the meeting
Of congress, the administrative officers of
the government would conduct its affairs
without friction or popular resistance
On the meeting of congress, the president
pro tenn Of the senate then elected would
be acting president until a special election
could be held to fill the vacancy in the
Office This country will not rush into
anarchy. II there is no president in the
white house at Washington, American
common sense will rule the country till a
lawful ruler shall be chosen. rrr r.

ENGLISH OPINION OF AMERICAN FUN.
Often Irrelevant and unpoiilhsd. br
Never stupid or Immoral
u.1.. ..t..f

Never Stupid or Immoral.
London stsniarf o.
American humor is a little strained.
and is often very local. In every case
it is different from that Of the English.
1t has nothing in common with Field
ing, or Smollett, or Thackeray, or, hap
ply with Rabelais or Nillon. The diff
ference between opera bouife and an
Anglo-Saxon farce is the difference be-
tween the humor of the Frenchman and
the English in America The snob and
the husband are not satirized. The
American deyotes his domestic ocosity
to the whimsicalities of the small 10Y,
the widow, the mother-in-law, the bully,
the visionary speculstor, the gamester
and the commercial traveller. Fighting
and money getting afford the principal
subjects, and in the south it is mainly
confined to the former.
1t is seldom deep, though always clean
and depends mainly on exaggeration
and a blending of jest and earnest,
which some one has described as the
Iinging of comic words to n sad tune,
telling a preposterous story with a
grave face. When Mr.. Lowell declares
that n negro was so black that char
coal made a chalk mark on him or
that a wooden shingle was painted SO
like marble that it sunk, he illustrates
the leading feature OF American
humor. Again, when "Artemus
Ward'-whom most people now know
to have been baptized Charles Browne
tells us Of a young man who claimed
70 te exempted from serving as a sol.
dier because he was the only son of a
widowed mother, who supported him."
we laugh, not at the humor of the stu
alton for there is ~none-but at the
unexpected turn the excuse takes.
his was the key to the fun of Josh
Billings and the legion who have imi-
tated it. They show no reverence for
anything or anybody. They are not
polished gentlemen, or aver men of
high education, like Howell and Holmes
But If sometimes vulgar, and often far.
fetched, there is this to be said for their
humor-it is never immoral and is,
therefore, very unlike that which de
riyes its inspiration from the other side
Of the channel or even from the full
bodied wit of Georgian and Carolinian
times.

If Judge Carey will inaugurate
such a measure, he will not only secure
the approval Of all his constituents. but
he will find no opposing forces in either
house of congress to antagonize his maid
en- effort. Thus only can he serve his
people successfully, aud start on his
career as a national legislator with the
proud satisfaction and consciousness that
he has done his best, under rather diff
cult circumstances, and has sunk the par
tisan in the patriot, in order to confer a
lasting benefit upon the territory and peo-
pie he has been chosen to represent in
the highest legislative body of the land.

Joseph NJ. Carey. delegate elect to
congress, is about to assume the duties Of
his Office. Although nominated and elect
cd by the Republicans Of this territory,
be to-day represents all the people thereof
without regard to party utilization. A
territorial delegate, generally, has at the
beginning of the session but little work
TO perform, his principal duties being the
visiting of the several department build
ings and the capitol to acquaint himself
with the routine and personnel of these
two branches Of the government. Judge
Carey's experience, at the beginning Of
his official term, however, will be different
from that of his newly elected colleagues
from the territories. At the very outset
of his career as a member of the national
house of representatives, he has upon
his hands an important matter which he
believes needs the immediate attention of
congress. Mr.. Carey. like other young,
ambitious politicians, would take great
pride in the successful termination Of his
maiden effort in congress- To accomplish
this, he should, however, initiate a meas
ure without partisan bias; he should adopt
a plan of settling the vexed legislative
question in this territory that has the
support Of a vast majority of the people
here Of all shades of political opinion. or
in other words, he should not attempt to
l~egalize the election of the Legislative body
chosen in 1884, bat join with the people
in securing the passage Of an act Of con-
gress which will relieve the territory
from its many difficulties in regard to our
legislative sessions, and give all the peo.
pie of Wyoming an opportunity to be
fully and justly represented in the assem-
