Twenty.eIght Tins of Opium Seized
on Maui.

About two weeks ago, Colonel G. P.
Iaukea, Collector General of Customs,
instructed Mr.. w. j. Sheldon, Custom
House guard, to go to the port of Kahu
lui, Maui, and do duty there as special
officer. He has already got to work,
news being received by the Lehua on
Saturday morning that he arrested a
Chinaman, All Ping, at Maalaea Bay, on
the 25th, with ten tins of opium in pos
session. He was passenger on the
steamer w. g. Hall. On the following
day, at Kahului, Sheldon opened case
directed to one All Sing, which had ar
rived from Honolulu by the Lehua, and
found eighteen tins of opium. An Sing

trict Court. They were found guilty,
and each fined $3.50 and sentenced to
imprisonment at hard labor for two

soon after to the strains of a detachment
of Berger's band. Between seventy-fiEe
and hundred couples were present,
Refreshments were served under the
direction of Mr.. Hart. During an inteY.
mission a very pleasant affair took place.
Mr.. George Lucas and his son, Mr..
Thomas r. Lucas, were each presented
with Past Chancellor's jewel, suitably
engraved. The presentation was made
by Deputy Supreme Chancellor David
Dayton in neat speech. Shortly before
midnight the festivities closed, all having
spent very enjoyable evening.

Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1885-10-30


It is perfectly useless for us to at
tempt to portray the influence that
"hope" exerts upon mankind. 1t is a
proverbial fact that a man without
hope in the fight for life is already half
whipped. The sick man without hope
is desperately ill indeed, however slight
his physical ailment may be. 1t is
equally as true that there is a very
slight chance for the undertaken to be
benefited in the case of a patient who
has no disposition or idea Of dying.
The whole system-digestiye, circu-
latory, and nervous-is directly under
the influence of the mind; and if we
will ever bear this in mind in treating
our cases, we will often have a more
potent remedy, easy Of administration
and more pleasant to give and take,
than anything found in the country
doctors saddle bags,Or upon the shelves
of our metropolitan pharmacists. Bad
news, grief, or sudden disappointment
has been known to reduce the circula-
ton to a minimum, to cause a strong
man to become as helpless as a child,
and to arrest the process of digestion
and assimilation as suddenly as if the
patients throat had been cut. Just the
reverse of this may be observed under
the influence of pleasant emotions and
the life-giving power of bright, heaven
born hope.-Southern Clinic.

The gospel of cleanliness is not for
India. Do begin to argue9 1 am
told that "a virtue of Gautama Buddha
was his dirty face" And yet a bath
is a Hindoo's frequent practice But
the use of mustard oil overbalances all
ablutiOns. A native always polishes
his skin with mustard oil before bath
ing. ut prevents the water from en-
tering the blood through the skin"
Gauga tells me. 1t makes the pres
ence of native anything but agreea-
BILE, for the amounting having greatly
diminished the power of the water,
the suns action upon the cutaneous
surface is such that the smell has act
ually the effect of running the health
of Europeans who have to inhale it for
many hours daily in the katcherries
and courts Of law.
If you say to one of these objection
able smelling parties: you would do
well to take bathP' he will answer,
spitefully: II am a Hindool9 This
being interpreted, means that the man
scrupulously observes the many wash
ings that the law enjoins. But those
washings are something like the
mumbling Of formal prayer. Indeed,
the high-caste HIndoo may not, like
the Pharisee Of cid. eat except he wash.

Peculiar Monuments.

There are a great number of monu-
ments of kind peculiar to China, and
which alone would suffice to distinguish
this country from all others-namely,
triumphaI arches erected to widowhood
or virginity.
When a girl will not marry, in or
der that she may better devote herself
to the service of her parents, or if a
widow refuses to enter the marriage
state a second time, out of respect to
the memory of her deceased husband,
she is honored after death with espec-
ial pomp. Subscriptions are raised for
the erection of a monument to her
virtue, to which all the relations, and
even sometimes the inhabitants of the
village or district where the heroine
has dwelt, contribute. These arches
are of wood or stone, covered with
sculptures, sometimes very well exc
cuted, of flowers, birds and fabulous
animals. On the front is usually an
inscription in honor of vlrginity or
widowhood. as the case may be; and
on the two sides are engraved in small
letters the virtue of the heroine in
question. These arches, which have
very fine effect, are frequent along the
roads, and even in the towns. At
Ning-Po. a celebrated seaport in the
province of che-Kiaug, there is
large street entirely composed of such
monuments, all Of stone, and of a
most rich and majestic architecture.

A New Nal

Something worse Ii
chloral is reported to tn
Medical Society. Several
TONERS found out that f
were using hyoscine to produ
of intoxicatiOn that resulted
found slumber. The drug is a
bromate, and has to a limited g
been used in medicine in lieu of
phine for relief in epilepsy and 9th
diseases of the nerves. It is obtaine
from a German plant. and is usually
on sale by German apothecaries in this
city. The supply has been small, and
the price about seventy-iive cents a
grain; but a suddenly increased de-
mand nearly exhausted the stocks
and sent the price to a dollar. The
doses must be infnitesimal in order
not to be dangerous, and the peril of
self-dosing lies in the liability to kill
by carelessly swallowing or hypoder-
mically injecting too much. The ex-
perimenters with it proved chiefly
to be medical students, drug clerks
and others acquainted with its sopori-
fc qualities. Hard drinkers employed
it to force sleep, and very nervous per-
sons drove off insomnia with it. In
order to test its effects, it has been
systematically administered to thirty
six insane patients in the State Hos
pital for the Insane, by Drs. Langdon
and Peterson, who say that the effects
prove the very grelt danger of hyOs-
cine eating. They found that it would
indeed compel sleep in most cases, but
that its habitual use would surely
bring muscular paralysis and dellrium
of a particularly violent sort. The
society will ask the Legislature to for
bid the sale except on prescription
