the decision of the lower court il
favor of Messrs. Brunswick anC
La Rue in the celebrated Home
stake suit, had been reversed il
the supreme court and that Tia,
above named gentlemen had takel
an appeal TO the supreme court O
the United States. 1t appears in
the records of the case that in Au
gust, 1879, the now : svaIuable
Homestake mine in the White
Oak district, Lincoln, s(was called
mine simply out of compliment
to quartz boulder which cropped
cut upon the surface" In the
last month of that year, John Win
terS, who hafterwards bought q
wagon load of whisky with his
share of what was contained in
one Of the rich pockets of the mine,
made the whols town9 drunk, and
then died in the spring of 1881,
decided to.J. j. Dolsn, of the town
Of Lincoln, 25Osfeet Of his $50 feet
for : "triendship's sake" and an
additional 100 feet for the purpose
of raising funds to develop the
property. There was a considora
ton of one dollar Sin the transac-
ton, which, of course made it
binding. ! Onc-half of this interest
IN the mine which afterwards prov
ed to be veritable bonanza was
subsequently made over to Joseph
A. La Rue, swhose silent partner
in buainess was Marcus Brunswick.
These gentlemen Jointly advanced
a sum of money estimated lat / be-
tween Sc, 0001 and $40, 900 for de-
velopment work in the mine.
They were sanguine of striking it
rich," as. the sayingsgoes, and the
value of the mine was held to be
1920, 900. 1t was at this iuucture
that Winters could1 not contain
himself for Joy and went on that
fatal spree.
After the death OF the discoverer
and locator of the mine, Bruins
wick and La Rue presented a bill
of over $4,000 against the mine
for moneys paid out by them and
claimed a lien for that amount
against the property. They de-
manded immediate payment of the
whole amount and enjoined the
Winters heirs from working the
mine. The injunction was even
tually dissolved and receiver was
When the case came
to trial decree was obtained in
favor of Brunswick and La Rue,
the court finding that something
over $4,000 was the sum which
they were in equity entitled to Sc
cure in the first instance out of this
mining property, after payment of
the costs and expenses of the suit
The court then ordered that the
ores extracted therefrom and not
of, be sold at public auc
ton tor the cash it would bring
under the hammer. This consul
nation was reached nearly four
years after the untimely death of
Winters and from the decree the
heirs to the estate took an ap.
peal.
The pivotal point in the case, in
the opinion of Judge Axtell, the
associate justices concurring, was
wh ether La Rue and Dolan could,
by oxpending work and money in
developing this mine, and without
some express agreement, compel
Winters to be their debtor, or did
they go forward Voluntarily and at
their own risk Z The court held
thatE Ethoy prosecuted thework of de

pose Of seli-aggrandizement and or
dered that the decree of the dis
Irict court be vacated and sot aside,
the bill be dismissed, and that the

LIE Stage Company have sins
enough to answer Tor without be-
ing held accountable tor imaginary
ones. For instance, some people
in the lower country complain be-
cause the Company doesn't convey
thither express matter addressed
to them. Now when it is consid-
ored that the Stage Company ad-
vances the charges levied on such
packages and conveys them hitt er,
then sends postal cards to the par
tres in interest, apprising them of
the receipt of their packages and
the amount due, thereon, sure
ly it is not unreasonable to expect
sdch to reply and forward the
charges, when their packages
would be forwarded. Again,
many parties, thus addressed, are
unknown to the Company, and ex-
perience has taught them that
many who are here to-day are gone
tomorrow, and therefore the rule
of notifying by postal card has
been universally adopted. When
package is received here to our
address we are thus notified, and
it has occurred that we have refus-
ted TO pay charges on packages for
reasons satisfactory to us, ii not to
the Company which advanced the
charges and had to wait to be re-
imbursed ythe Express Company.
There is said to be two sides to
every story, and to US it appears
that in this instance the Stage Co.,
has the heavy side.

choice, at any time during the last
terty-five years would have lighted

Washington"
Wellington, Irish born, and En-
glands ideal soldier, gave the
same estimate of the man. The
" Iron Duke" said
" Not only was Washington, in
INV Judgment, the purest aud most
patriotic man Of modern times, but
he was also tile stateiest, most ma

men.
And so would certify all OF the
crowned heads" albeit Wash
ington's head meier wore a crown
save such as was moulded in the
matrx of the souls Of those he
served.
The portrait of Washington is
familiar to every child and adult in
the land. The artists OF his age
bent all their energies and skill in
presenting the +" Father of his
county" in various scenes. In
some pictures he is represented at
the head Of his army, surrounded
by the CLEAN Of arms, rallying his
soldiers to the charge, in the midst
of the smoke and carnage Of battle
In another picture he is presented
in the midst OF wintry SHOWS and
ice, breasting the torrent Of the
Delaware, and rushing through the
gloom OF midnight to snatch vic
tory from an over-contident foe. -

other time we see him represented
inaugurating the Government IN

and receiving the oath of ofieo at
the hands Of John Jay, at the old
City Hall, in New York. Again
his soldier record is revived bv our
seeing him, when his army is vast

hausted, surrounded by oyervhelm-

BELL TOWER TOP.
A Glimpse of Honolulu From This
Elevated Point.

! From the lookout at the top Of the Bell
Tower, ninety feet above the ground, a view
| is to be obtained Of Honolulu that well re-
pays the slight fatigue Of the ascent. Once
in the look-out-se1agon in shape, and hay
| ing in the center the LOO pound bell-one
has leisure to examine the city in detail.
Looking west, most Of the house-tops are
visible, the view extending to the pretty
brick church at Kalihi. A little further
towards the south the view takes in the
prison on the right and the quarantine
buildings on the left. The business 81 re-
proof " portion Of the town lies within these
lines, and there is no foliage to hide the
buildings. Still more towards the south
the spectator looks out upon the harbor and
across the waterfront of the town to Ka-
waihao Church. This part of the city is UNI
brageous with the foliage of its trees.
The view eastward takes in Kawaihao
Church on the right to the Palace On the
left. Between these points there is an I'M
broken mass of foliage. not single house
top being visible beyond the immediate
vicinity of the tower, as far out as Waikiki.
On the northeast the section lying at the
not for the trees that conceal all the build
ings except the wslls of st. Andrews Ca
thedral.
The last section takes in the spires of the
Roman Catholic Cathedral and the Chinese,
Fort Street and Kaumakapili churches. The
trees are very thick in this quarter, but be-
yond the city is fine view of Nuuanu Val
ley. The whole scene is pretty, but looked
at from above, there is entirely too much
shade. The round tops of the mango trees,
the purple masses of bougainvilia, the
feathery foliage of the ironwood, the sway
ing branches of the algeroba, and the crests
of cocoanut and royal palms are blended
together in a quivering sea of verdure.
Much Of this growth could be cut away with
advantage to the health of the people, and
the convenience of the Waterman on the
tower
The tower from which this view is OBJ
tanned was built in 1873, and its cost, to-
gether with the bell hung in it, and the one
in No. Us engine house, was betrayed by
private subscription. At the time the watch
man first began his vigils every street in the
city could be traced from the lookout; now
only one or two of the streets are visible.
There are two watchmen employed, who re-
lieve each other in looking out for fires, and
the telephone is placed within easy reach Of
the one on duty. The cIang of the fire bell
is not often heard in Honolulu, but those
who dwell in the city can rest confident that
there is quick eye ever on the watch, and
strong hands ready to sound the alarm
whenever the dread enemy fire shows his
lurid front.

Japanese Landscape Gardening.

At Mr.. r. w. Twins residence on the
Plains-the Queens sisters house-may be
seen three very pretty designs in miniature
of Japanese garden. They are in a box
about feet square, and were designed by
three professional gardeners at the request
of Mr.. Irwin. One design, made by the
Kings gardener, has been accepted, and a
number of men are now charging it for the
garden in front of the house. 1t will occupy
nearly the whole front yard, and will be a
miniature of Japanese landscape, en-
bracing forest, hill and valley, waterfall,
lake and stream.

ton is filed with matter of special interest
to planters, as well as points of value to the
general reader. The causes operating to the
present low price of sugar are discussed.
The question OF labor for the Islands is also
suggestively handled. The consolidated
census return of December "a, 1884, is
printed, and the Hon. II. NJ. Whitney con
tributes valuable paper on the subject.
The miscellaneous matter is varied and well
arranged and the whole reflects credit upon
Mr.. Thurston, who acts as editor during the
absence of Mr.. W. o. Smith.

Chinese EmIsratIon.

A movement is on foot by which some
1000 Chinese will emigrate to Mazatlan be-
fore long. This movement is under the
management of the Chinese secret societies
here, which control the Chinese labor market.
They hope by this move to maintain
the high rate of wages which the recent ar
rival of Japanese threatens to reduce. 1t
is certain that this japanese immigration is
viewed with jealousy by the Chinese.

Water Heaters for the Fire Depart


Mr.. John Mott Chief Engineer of the
Honolulu Fire Department, sent an order
by the Alameda to New York for two water
heaters for the fire engines. These heaters
are made of wrought iron with copper water
tanks, and are so arranged that supply of
water can be kept all the time at or near the
boiling point, with a consumption of less
than ton of coal per month. The last
two fires that occurred in this city demon
strated the value of time in getting the en-
gines at work. The few minutes lost in
getting up steam from cold water in the en-
gines sufficed to give the fire control of the
burning buildings. The method of attach
ing the pipes from the heater to the engine
is automatic. When the machine is drawn
away the hot water is shut off, none being
allowed to escape. The introduction OF
these heaters will be source of satisfaction
to all, but especially to underwriters.
