DEAR ED1TREss LADIES JOURNAL =
We were so much amused over the
prayer of our little boy aged five years,
I concluded to furnish the JOURNAL with
a copy Of it to interest the ''little ones
who have their homes among the fanl-
lies of your readers.
After repeating the lines hallowed by
the lisping lips of time sent childhood
in generations past, and those SO dear to
us in the present-"Now Hay me down
to Sleep ETC., and asking-"Please God
take care of us through the dark nigh"
to my great surprise he added: owe

St. Vrain 5o4 Colorado Springs but have

much as we were moving as fast as the
train could carry us our first night out
from the Springs, we thought our posi-
ton pretty well expressed.

MY father closed the window with a
grim smile. 4 wouldn't turn dog from

my bitterest enemy, DR., Lorrimer.
Man, have you heart in your bosom

my own son and daughter brought to me

it would have been if they had not found
her this afternoon
My father stopped abruptly, and poked
the fire with much energy.
DR.. Lorrimer in the meantime got up
from his chair looking very stiff and
angry.

Sit down, man, and don't look glum
about it; theirs no harm done.
DR.. Lorrimer stood still for minute,
glancing round at our studiously averted
faces, cast look out of the unblinded
window, and then, probaly thinking
discretion the better part ofvalour, he sat
down with the best grace he could, my
father resuming his pipe and entering in
to conversation as if nothing had hapen-

said Jim, who had overheard US. At
which proposition Wolf groWled, and
said no more.
That night the poor little wait, whose
fate DR.. Lorrimer had been so willing to
hasten, was in high fever and delirium.
The doctor, who was skiTful and not
really hard-hearted man, paid her the
greatest attention, and my mother never
went to bed at all that night. Poor little
creature it was pitiful to listen to the
wailing tones and rapid utterance with

so absent in mind and awkward in BODY
all the time that he even fell into DISGRACE
with my father,
In the meantime during that day and
for several days afterwards, my father
made all the inquiries he could as to the
childs identity. He even put one or two
advertisements in the newspaper, but
nothing came of them. The squire was
in Italy and my father hadn his adj
dress, even if he had thought of writing
to him, which is not probable. Foreign
Ietter-writing scarcely came natural to
country farmers in those days. And so

last provoked national interference
with the owners of houses, and law
was passed last session of the I'M
perial Parliament to provide for the
better housing of the working classes.
It's object is to remedy positive SAM
tary evils and to prevent over-croWd-
ing. It provides that any person
building or letting a house, and not
taking reasonable or proper precau-
tions to see that it is healthy, will be
held to have broken his contract with
his tenant, and will be liable in dam
ages for any death or illness that may
ensue, if it can be shown to be the
result of negligence on the part of the
owner. If a similar law were in force
in Honolulu it might have very
saIutary effect, because there are
blocks of houses within it owned by
wealthy individuals or trustees, whose
sanitary condition is a disgrace to
civilization and standing menace to
the health of the community.
The English law in question like
wise authorizes the Metropolitan
Board of Works to buy the old prison
sites and erect thereon houses for the
poor These houses are to be man
aged by trustees, like. the Peabody
trust. The necessity for this will APP
pear evident when it is stated that in
Londonal one there are go, OO0families,
representing 100000 persons, who live
in single rooms.
1t is clear from the foregoing that
the days when ''private enterprise"
was free to extort the uttermOst farth-
ing from the necessities of the people
are coming to an end in the most en-
lightened nations of the earth. And
this same principle of governmental
communism is spreading everywhere,
the only great country where the ex-
ponents of the gospel of extortiOn are
able to hold it presently in check
being the United States.

A popular photographer was interviewed
the other day on tie subject of taking dogs
pictures. Sometimes" he said, 1--WE have
good deal of trouble with the pets Ladies
usually prefer to have them taken in the
attitude of begging, and they won't always
beg. A dog, just like a great many people,
gets nervous in a photograph gallery and IL
requires good deal Of persuasion sometimes
to get them treasured so they will behave.
The best subject ever had is collie, ana

Gone dog took three sittings before could

the matter, except that the picture was un-

said that the counterfeit had no resemblance
to the original, and when l questioned her
she said had made her dog without a tail.
She abhorred bobtailed dogs, she said, so

The Opera Project.

Subscriptions come in slowly to the
guarantee fund, and the time for work is
now exceedingly limited. Little can be
accomplished ON Saturday, which is a
short business day; and Monday being
the day before the Alameda sails
very little will be attended to out
side general business requirements.
Indeed, for the matter OF that,
to-day may be called a "stea mer
day. also, because all correspondence
for Europe, at all events, will be Tor
warded by the City of Sydney tomorrow
We mention these points to show the
necessity for prompt and energetic action
if our fellow citizens mean business IN
regard to the opera guarantee fund. Inc
list is still very far from sufficient, and in
view of the importance of the occa-
sion to the future OF Honolulu, several
gentlemen whose names are upon 1t
have signifiad their willingness to double
their subscriptions if necessary. His
Majesty the King also takes great IN
terest in the project, and it is to be hoped
that there will be such an interest
awakened among the lovers of classic
music in this community as shall insure
the completion'of the guarantee to-day.
If this is not accomplished there is very
great danger of a total collapse OF the
project, for the rea son stated above in
regard to the pressing demands OF bust
ness next Monday

BANKING IN CALIFORNIA.

In recent issue of the ADVERTISER
we published a statement of the
amount of deposits and capital Of the
San Francisco savings banks. The
exhibit was satisfactory, but it did
not convey an adequate idea of the
banking resources of the State,
although pointing pretty accurately
to the ratio of accumulatiOns from
uninvested savings by the people of
the metropolis. The annual report
of the Bank Commissioners for the
past fiscal year supplies further in
formation. From it we learn that
the total banking resources of Cali
fornia, on the Goth of June, 1885, were
$141, ASS, AIS, of which $65, 1873, 069 were
credited to twenty-one banks of
saving and $75, 5S5, 349 to seventy
three commercial banks. This is a
very creditabIe showing for a popu-
lation, all told, of little over 800, 900.
There was net increase of two in
the number of commercial banks.
Several voluntarily retired from bust
ness. The savings banks of the State
the establishment of two banks of
saVIngs-one at Los Angeles and the
other at San Jose. But to offset this
there is a decrease on the wear in the
resources of commercial banks of S.
549,5 Four-fifths of this decrease
is in the San Francisco banks. The
net decrease in the commercial banks
of San Francisco for the year in
question was 1920, 545. This large
amount is traceable to the Nevada
bank, whose resources were dimin-
ished by Senator Fair Withdrawing
his large capital from it and retiring
wholly from that concern. This fact,
however, does not in the least affect
its stability or cripple it's operations.
But for this incident the bank returns
for California during 1885 would have
exhibited very little variation from
that of the previous year. The con-
therefore, is that business de-
preston, while it has been continuous,
to have touched bottom" !
as CalifOrnians say, and that under
favOring conditions trade may be ex-
pected TO revive somewhat. Whether
favoring conditions are likely to arise
it is, of course, impossible to say.
The chances are decidedly against
this happening. Owing to the
lndiscriminate employment of Chi
nese labor in production a gIut
Of natural and perishable pro-
incts has been created, without fur
1ishing local market to consume
he supply. This has discouraged

prices do not pay for handling the

Or such reckless waste, as local con-
would, as a rule, offset in
reased production.
