In a Cholera Ward.
Paris Cor. London News. I


Was there not a black pestilence in
Italy in Dante's time? May he not have
borrowed from it the idea of the hot and
cold hell of his "Inferno?" One sees both
in cholera ward. The cold hell is gone
through up to the beginning of the to
quote the doctor typhoid reaction, when
the hot one supervenea Both are re.
doubtable The frigid one is to the spec
tator the most awful It is caused by a
paralysis of the internal organs of the
stomach in its attempt to reich, and of the
bowels which are abnormalIy active.
Brain, lungs, larynx, skin, liver, kidneys
are, as it were, frozen up The hand is
corrugated and blue, the face deep lilac,
the eyes and lids are pulled to the back of
the sockets. Cold breath comes from the
mouth (Which is open like that of fish in
open air. and the nostrils in a faint
stream. There is no voice How life
persists one cannot think An awful fea-
ture of the cholera ward Is that the dead
seem to come to life. There is a revul-
sion of the frozen-up tissues after the last
spark of vitality has fed. Young sisters
of charity are terrified at this phenom-
enon, and long after are haunted with the
idea that living persons have been con-
signed to the mortuary.

The hull of the Russian war vessel Djighit,
up to the line Of copper, has been covered
with a patent composition that keeps the
timber from decay and the copper bright
and clean.
About the date of the late Queen Dowa-
gers death the large clock in the tower Of
the church where her remains now lie in
state got out Of order, finally stopping, as
its four dials indicate, at precisely the mo
ment of her death-ten minutes of o'clock.

Mr.. G.. E. G. Jackson, of the Survey De-
partment, has just returned from Kauai,
having completed the survey Of Waiamea

Arrival of . Russian NIan.or-war.

H. 1. r. Ms clipper Djighit, Commander
Charles de Muller, arrived at this port yes
terday at noon, As days from Callao, Peru.
The Djighit was under sail during the en-
tire passage and experienced much calm
weather, but no storms. The following are
the names of her officers:
Commander-Charles de Muller,
First Oficer-Kirssanoff.
Lieutenants-Behr, Drigenko and Volod-
roVsky.
Paymasters-Da7idoffa and Didimoff.
Sub-lieutenants - Molos, Paparigopulo,
Tregouboff, VesselagO and Boutakov.
Engineers Silverstoff and Ber-
senef.
Navigating Oficer-Maximoff.
ArtilIcrist-C homentovsky.
Observation-Disclosures
This is the third visit the Djighit has
made to Honolulu, but she has no officers
now on board who were here before. She
carries an armament of twelve rifed guns on
the main deck, besides six mitrailleuse and
torpedoes. Her crew numbers 200 men all
teld.
As soon as the vessel was properly moored
the Hawaiian flag was hoisted at the main,
and saluted by 81 guns, which were
responded to from the shore battery. Soon
after, Mr.. John Hackfeld, acting Vice Consul
for Russia went on board and was saluted
with seven gums.
A member of the staff of the P. c. ADvER-
TIsEE visited the vessel and was courteously
received. The very complete budget of
news published in the DAILY ADVERTISER, of
the 9th instant, which was taken on board
was eagerly read by such of the officers as
understood the English language, and the
items of interest translated for the benefit
Of the others.
The Djighit will remain here awaiting
further orders, and her officers will improve
the opportunity to visit points of interest on
this, and perhaps the other islands.

The Irish Tenant Farmer.

Dublin Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.I
1t would not be so easy for an Ameri
can, however, TO sympathiZe with the
Irish farmer in his love of his leased land,
not to speak of his longings for his neigh
bors' In America one could appreciate
the struggles of a farmer to retain the
land which was his and that of his heirs.
and in which he had the strong tie of act
ual possession. No American could, how
ever understand mere tenant. subject to
the will of his landlord In some respects,
acting and feeling as if the land he was
merely privileged to till was an inherit
ance from generations of forefathers
To the Irish tenant farmer, however,
his high priced little patch of land is a
dominion and his cabin an ancestral castle.
To be ousted from either is not only
injurious in the highest degree to bis
sensibilities, but derogatory to his social
standing in the parish, and he therefore
resists eviction as a high handed outrage
that should be avenged with blood Not
long since / was walking in County Tip
perary with farmer who for two years
has waged stubborn fight against his
landlord, Mr.. Twist one of the most ex-
acting landholders, in the south He was
showing me over his place and | was
much amused at the way in which, with
unconscious pride, he referred to the farm
as my land.
He seemed to be utterly obIivious to his
real status as a mere leaseholder, and
when we reached one of his boundaries he
pointed to a couple of diminutive fields,
like fifty acre lot divided by fence and
remarked: Il bought those the other day
for $500" He meant that he had paid
that sum for the privilege of leasing them
at a rental of some SO per acre per annum
Another tenant farmer in the district, but
under a different landlord, showed me a
plot of forty acres, for which he had paid
premium of So, 500, the yearly rental be-
ing So an acre.

Fr.LP. RutIedee,s BenefIt.

Tomorrow evening will be the last ap-
pearance of the San Francisco Dramatic
Company, when q grand complimentary
benefit will be rendered the manager, Mr.
]. P. Rutledge, the bill for the occasion be-
ing the celebrated play of ''The Two Or

This company is one of the most deserV-
ing that has ever been in our midst, and it
is to be regretted their patronage has not
been commensurate with the honest labor
and study bestowed upon their work.
series of good sterling plays has been pre-
scented, and every effort has been made both
by manager and company to fulfill the prom
Uses made at their opening. Coming as
they did upon the heels of the Emerson
party, and the unfortunate occurrence of
Queen Emma's death, their business was
not what it might have been, but on this,
their last appearance, there will no doubt
be bumper for the parting. The Royal
Hawaiian Band, through the courtesy Of
Governor Dominis, will discourse some of
their popular music on this occasion.

Hawaiian Scholars Abroad.

The scholastic report from st. Matthews
Hall, San Mateo, California, for the month
of May, referring to the Hawaiian youths at
school there, gives the following report:
The averages of the Princes HAVANA
nakoa. Keliiahonui and Kalamahaola,
as well as J, P. Cummins-10O being
the standard of perfeetion-were: Punotual-
ity, 100; department, SO; military conduct,
99.5; writing, 96.2; spelling, n; reading.
86.2; geography, "a; grammar, 92.7; history,
94.S; practical arithmetic, go; mental arith-
metic, 10. It will be seen from the above
report that in the acquisition of the English
language the young men named stand quite
as high as the average of English speaking
scholars. In the conduct report, too, their
standing is very high.

THE Crisis I'm Denmark"

"A Dane" writes to the P. G. ADvEK-
TIsER, protesting against the statements
that appeared in weekly contemporary re-
garding the constitutional crisis in Den
mark, copied from q New York paper. He
states that there is not the least fear of
revolution in Denmark, and that the present
Ministry has administered affairs for the
past nine years, and is continuing to do so
acceptably, despite the opposition of the
Socialists and peasantry. Although the
Representative Assembly was dis missed
without passing an appropriat ton bill, that
very night the Prime Minister gave the
most successful ball of the season, and the
King shows that the Kingdom can be ruled
by an appropriation bill signed by himself
alone.
Our correspondent writes in the most en-
thusias tic strain Of the honesty, patrio tism
and intelligence of King Christian TX, than
whom. he says, there is no more gallant or
noble prince on any European throne. This
is all doubtless true; nevertheless it would
be much better il the King and his Minis
tiers could get along with the Parliament Of
Denmark, instead of following the example
of the Inflated house of Stuart in England,
and dispensing with votes of supply.

General Kouaaron.

This Russian officer is figuring promi-
nently In Central Asian affairs. It is his
action that has brought the British and
Russian empires to the verge of war. His
advance from Aerv to the Afghan frontier,
and subsequent attack upon the Ameer's
forces on disputed territory, have been the
cause Of all the trouble, and may result in
great misery and bloodshed. England asked
to have General Komaroff's attack upon
the Afghans disavowsd officially. This the
Gear declined to do, but instead, Komaroff
was appointed Commander-in-C Chief over
Turkestan. He is 4 man of great audacity
and courage, a capable General, and I'M
serupulous ss to the use of means.
