WRONG AGAIN.

We fail tor find that any investigation,
outside of the insurance offices, has been
made into the death of the Captain, wife,
child and two sailors of the schooner Po-
hoiki, wrecked recently off the Kona coast
of HaWaii.-[Gazette.
Did our contemporary take any
trouble to ascertain the facts before it
wrote the foregoing, or did it jump to
conclusions without knowledge, as is
its usual habit? If it had sought for
Information it would have found that
an inquiry had been ordered by the
Attorney Generals department, and
that a copy of the official report of the
investigation held npursuance of such
order is on file there, while Deputy
Marshal Dayton has a copy of it in
his Office also. We publish a report
of the investigation in to-day's
issue. It is very easy to formu-
late charges against the Govern
ment, but when they are subjected to
the test of strict investigation they
usually disappear.

CULTIVATION OF RAMIE.

That great future is before these
Islands in the production of ramie
would appear to be probable, but up
to the present time the ramie indus
try has not passed the first expert
mental stage. The Coleman machine
is undergoing improvement, and the
raw material has yet to be grown in
quantity. When the machine has
been perfected, and ramie has been
raised in sufficient bulk to constitute
an available product for manipula-
ton and export, the business doubt
less will develop rapidly, as sugar
making did. There is, however,
serious drawback in the cost of ram1e
plants, which range, according to a
statement in the "Planters' Month
w." from $40 per thousand in small
lots to $4 % per thousand for lots OF
10000 and Upwards. It takes $4,000
roots to set out an acre for crop, and
the lowest cost for the young plants
for one acre is therefore $51. This is
a point of very considerable import
ance, because it is calculated to deter
people from entering upon expert
mental cultivation in a country
where so little of that is done.
If the Ramie Company could sell
plants at low figure it might stimu-
late production, but so long as the
above-named prices are charged the
industry must drag. It might pay
the company to distribute roots free
to persons undertaking their cultiva-
ton in considerable areas. The COM
pany has the patent right for what
seems to be a serviceable machine; 1t
has also applied for the Government
bonus of $4,000 offered for tie pro-
duction of such machine; and it is
guaranteed five cents per pound for
all the fibre it can produce equal to
the Kona sample. Under these cir
cumstances one would think that the
company might afford to risk some
thing to encourage production OF the
raw material, more especially as it
would probably be the only purchaser.
We throw out these practical hints
to the gentlemen connected with the
ramie enterprise in the best possible
spirit, and in the hope that they may
be acted upon. Unless some such
policy as the foregoing be initiated,
the ramie industry will remain a
mere verbal enterprise for years to
come.

The functions appertaining to the
Coroner have never been discharged
in this country with anything like
the precision and efficiency displayed
in the States or England. In Scot
land there is no Coroner, but the Pro
curator-Fiscal does the work which
devolves upon the Coroner in En-:

complaint in the Scottish press,
which is by long odds the most carp
ing and fault-finding in the Unitr''
Kingdom.
Whether an amendment of the law
regarding the duties of Coroner in
this Kingdom should be made, thereby
improving the present system, or
whether the Scotch method should
be adopted, is not for Us TO say. The
latter might be too great departure
from established methods, but we
are decidedly of opinion that SOM
effectual change should be inaugl
rated. We go thus far with our COZ
temporary, but we maintain that ii
is unfair TO hold the Administrator
responsible for a state of things tina
originated ia the past, and has been
continued by each successive Govern
ment. Reforms must be reached
through the Legislature.

The sun seemed to concentrate its force
upon him, and his high collar gave way
early and became wavering and low. Beads
of perspiration dripped with regularity
from the tip of the chin OF his arrogant
mug, but the expression of sedate
and solemn propriety never changed. A
hackman who smoked a pipe, while he sat
coatless within his yellow cab, gazed at the
private coachman with serene content
ment during the two hours that the coach
man sat like statue hero.

commission, brought home number
OF curious jewels which are supposed
to be petrihed human eyes. TheSmith-
sonians scientists are trying to analyze
them. They were obtained in Peru
where there is vast cemetery on the
rainless strip of desert which lies be-
tween the Andes and the sea. In this
magnetic sand where nothing ever es-
scapes are buried the bodies Of millions
of Incas, someof which, after a thou
sand years, are in as perfect a state Of
preservation as the mummies Of Eqypt
The Incas had a civilization superior
to that Of any prehistoric race, and
areong other lost arts is the preserva-
tion fthe human eye, or at least the
dark part OF the eye, for the white
tissue is never found.
These ghastly things are hemispheTi
calm shape and about half or two-
thirds OF an inch in diameter, with thin
translucent scales like an onion.
When found they are of rusty color
like q pebble, but when polished
become as clear and beautiful as amber,
holding the light as well az an opal.
