Lord Bute's Magnificent New Palace Near
Rothesay.
The rebuilding of Mountstuart, Lord
Bute's palace, near Rothesay. has been
completed, and it is one of the most
magnificent mansions in Great Britain.
The house covers an acre, and is in the
medieval Gothic style of the thirteenth
century. The walls, turrets and bal
comics are built of stone brought from
quarry in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the
center is an immense tower one hun
dred and twenty feet high, with wide
balcony all around the top.
The great hall is constructed entirely
of alabaster and the rarest marbles, with
columns and gallery; and the grand
staircase is also of marble brought from
Sicily and Carrara. The drawing rooms
are paneled with walnut and beautifully
decorated. and so are the dining-rooms,
the largest of which accommodates
eighty guests. The ceilings and
chimney pieces of all these rooms are
most artistic, and so also are the VIM
dows. the work of which are extremely
elaborate. There are three immense
libraries and a billard-room, all with
carved stone tireplaces of antique de-
sign.
In one wing are Turkish and SWIM
ming baths, and there are large con-
servatorios and private chapel The
whole house is heated by hot.water
pipes and lighted throughout by incan-
descent lamps. In the gallery will be
hung the famous Luton Hod collection
of pictures which have recently been
exhibited at Bethnal Green. Glasgow
and Manchester. The building. DECOR

Other Peoples Letters.

The simplicity with which certain
people acknowledge their own sins Of
curiosity, and other forms Of bad taste,
is sometimes very refreshing. 1t
suggests the only excuse possible for
them, that of the ignorance in which
their offenses were committed. Said a
farmer to neighbor, whose mail he
had just brought from the adjoining
town: There's one more-a postal

Yankee Accent In london.

Yankee accent and infection have
come into fashion among the London
aristocrats. It is freak that may and
may not last. An acquaintance of Lord
Dunraven attributes to him the Ameri-
canized talk Of his particular set; and
the Marquis of Lorne and Earl Duferin,
aided by their wives. are supposed to
have taken back from Canada an Amer
ican manner of utterance. These ex-
amples could not fail to be potent in
London, and the novelty seems to have
proved captivating. -GbicaaO 1FseNsla

A MASONIC RELIC.

A Travelling Card Issued In Philadelphia
June 6. 1776.
John d. Harris is the owner of an old
Masonic travelling card, which is about
foot long and eight inches wide, made
of sheepskin. 1t is written in Latin,
French and English and reads:
Il do hereby certify that Brother John
Perkins is regular registered Free Mason
of Lodge No. l. of the province of Pennsyl-
vania, and has, during his stay among them.
behaved himself as become an honest ana
worthy brother, as appears by the lodge GER

Mr.. Harris saws it was found between
the rafters in the garrett of an old house
in Worcester County, Maryland. Within
about four feet of the relic was found
the skeleton of man. One of the per-
sons present when it was found was J.
w. Parker. of this city. The relic is
considered the oldest Masonic travelling
card in existence. Nobody by the name
of Perkins has lived in Worcester County
for years. It is supposed that the man
whose skeleton was found was evidently
traveller who had been foully dealt
with and his. body secreted in the gar
ret. Masons at the present time have
no travelling card. but are proven by
their works. - PHILADELPHIA Times.

PORTUGUESE IMMIGRANTS.

A short time ago there was a hue
and cry raised concerning the depart
ure of Portuguese immigrants whose
terms of contract service on the
Islands had expired. Our Opposition
contemporaries dilated at length
upon the evil effects wrought by the
Government in this connection. It
was the fault of the Government that
men could not be compelled to remain
here against their will. This was
another crime laid to the charge of
the Government. We said but little
at the time, anticipating further de-
velopments, and the wisdom of the
ADVERTISER has become apparent.
We learn from San Francisco that,
besides the eighty Portuguese who
have already returned to the Islands
within a month, fifty-two of whom
came on the last steamer, there are
very many more awaiting their OPP
portunity to get back.
All who went to- the Coast were
possessed of a limited amount of cap
1tal. The Portuguese labOrers found
that they could not readily obtain
work in California, but most of them
made this discovery too late, as all
their money was expended. A few
wisely saved sufficient to enable them
to return to this Kingdom, which
they openly avow is better suited to
them than California. Not a day
passes in San Francisco but some of
our former Portuguese Iaborers call
at the Office of John D. Spreckels &
Bros. to ask if he cannot obtain free
passage, or work his way back to the
Islands. Some even have desired to
'ship" there for another term of
years in order that they might re-
turn. This is tolerabIy conclusive |
proof of another misstatement and |
falsehood from the Opposition, but it
is what the public should always ex-
pect from such quarter. It is now
IN order for them to reiterate their
in this connection.

opera Prospects.

Signor Farini was courteously received
by His Majesty the King yesterday. The
King listened attentively to the musical
project which Signor Farini submitted,
and promised to do all he could to fur
ther it. Indeed, His Majesty entered
heartily into the subject, and being an
ardent admirer of good music, is naturally
anxious that there should be a success
full operate season in Honolulu. We
regret in this connection that the
idea OF giving a concert next Friday
evening has been abandoned, owing to
the difficulty OF getting together suffi-
cient number of trained voices for re-
hearsal at such short notice; and Signor
Farini very properly prefers not to make
the attempt when perfect success is
doubtful. He may probably, however,
give an invitation musical soiree before
leaving on the LIST September. The oper-
attic subscription list was opened at Wise
mans yesterday and several names were
put down. We hope the list will fill up
quickly and SO ensure really superior
presentation of opera on the local stage.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.

The resOlute stand taken by the
Administration against unrestricted
Chinese immigration has borne good
fruit. The Consul General of this
Kingdom at Hongkong recently vised
the passports of two hundred return
ing Cinnamon, and applied to the
Secretary of the Colonial Government
there for permission to allow them to
ship direct for Honolulu, instead of
mourning heavier expense by ship
ping to San Francisco and thence to
this port. His request was courteously
but firmly refused. The HOngkong
Government, acting under instruc-
tions from the Secretary of State for
the Colonies, cannot permit any
direct shipment of Chinese from the
port of Victoria, or Hongkong, as it is
better known, to any port in the Ha-
waiian Kingdom, in consequence of
the strong representations of this
Government on the subject. No
modification of this prohibition will
be made unless requested by the Ha-
waiian Government; and it is per-
haps superhuOus to say that no such
request will emanate from the present
Administration. So far from that
being the case, the Government,
suspecting that Cinnamon who left
here disposed of their permits or Gus
tom House passports to others, and
by fraudulent representations after
wards secured Consular passports for
double the number entitled to them,
Issued an order on the Sth of July
last to the Consul General at Hong
kong, forbidding the issuance of re-
turn passports to any one, except |
women or persons known to him to /
have been residents of this Kingdom.
This will stop the immigration fraud |
heretofore perpetrated by the saga
cious Chinese.
When the Opposition gets into
Office it will probably carry out its
policy of ''Asiaticising the country"
by throwing down the barriers and
letting in the fyellow horde" to re-
duce wages and furnish an mex
supply of Ignorant muscle
which it strove so hard to accomplish
through the Planters Labor and
Supply Company last October and
since. But fortunately for the coun-
try there is no prospect whatever of
an Opposition victory, and the
chances for free labor are therefore
better to-day than they have been at
any previous period of our Island
history. The intention of the Consul
General at Hongkong appears to have
been to encourage the Mexican line
Of steamships which has been estab-
lished. These vessels are to call at
Honolulu going and returning, and
of course it would have been quite an
item to command the Chinese pas
senger traffic with this country. The
frst vessel of the line, the Mount
lebanon, was to sail shortly on it's
pioneer voyage, having large num-
Der of Chinese coolies for Mexican
on board.

A young black bear, owned by Pole, who
keeps the store adjoining the Union Feed
Company, on Queen street, died last even
ing under peculiar circumstances. Ever
since last Tuesday they have been trying to
put q ring in the animals nose. a black
smith was called in yesterday The animals
legs were tied, and also his nose. few
minutes later it was found to be dead. The
owner valued the bear at $500. He should
have taken better care of the beast.
Yesterday morning at O'Clock a gang of
prisoners were put to work on King street
near Thomas Square, and by noon they had
a section of the track for the street railway
laid. 1t was done under the supervision of
Mr.. julius Fl. Smith, Superintendent of
Public Works. Anyone passing that vicinity
would not be able to find the track, as it
has been covered mp so as to prevent car
riages coming in contact with it. There is
a probability of work being resumed inside
of two months.
About o. clock Sunday morning, three
milk wagons were standing outside of Notes

longing to the Woodlawn Dairy, consider
ably damaging it, and making the milk tins

doubtless give attention to this mat
ter, and suggest such means as he
may deem expedient to induce his
countrymen to avail themselves of
the sanitary appliances which the
Board of Health is ready to place at
their disposal. 1t might be expedi-
ent perhaps that original vaccination
should proceed among the Portuguese
in groups, when revaccination could
be practiced without any objection
on their part, by taking the virus
from the arms of perfectly healthy
children of their own race who
had been vaccinated with i'm
ported lymph Anyhow, for their
own sakes, it is very desirable that
they should all be vaccinated. This
country has no immunity from small
pox any more than other countries
which have been and are afflicted by
it, and should an outbreak unfortu-
nately occur the first victims would
tions had not been fortified against
Infection by vaccination. The Board
of Health would doubtless act upon
any suggestion Mr.. Canavarro
might make in this regard. AS it is
a question of vast public interest,
where so many children and young
people are unvaccinated, we trust
that measures will be promptly taken
to give effect to the suggestion, herein
contained, so far as these may be
practicable.

VACCINE LYMPH AND VACCINATION

The Board of Health received by
the Alameda last Saturday fifty
cones of capillary tubes of vaccine
virus from the Boston Vac
cine Company, through Consul-Gen-
eral Mckinley, who displays great
zeal in the execution of the various
duties of his office. The supply will
be kept up regularly, so that here
after there need be no apprehension
regarding the availability of a suff1-
cheney of pure lymph. The ADvER-
TIsER referred to this subject some
time ago, and especially to the re-
luctance of Portuguese to vaccinate
their children by the arm to arm
method through the natives, for fear
OF contamination with leprous virus.
The prejudice was natural one, and
should be respected. But there is
now no reason why these people
should refrain from taking necessary
and indeed imperative precaution
against smallpox. The able and ju-
dicious gentleman who represents the
Portuguese Govern ment here will
