MR.. JONES IN ERROR.

The Bulletin" reports an inter
view with Mr.. 2. G. Jones, in which
that gentleman is reported to have
said
Referring to the matter of freights, in
answer to a question, Mr.. Jones said the
ADVERTISER was in error in claiming credit
for a reduction of freight by Messrs.
Spreckels. ''Freights by steam have been
the same for ten years past, and by sail the
same for five years"
Mr.. Jones is clearly in error in re-
gard to steamer freight. The Pacific
Mail Company charged So per ton
down freight from the Coast, and So
per ton up for sugar within the last
four years. When the Oceanic Steam
ship Company put on the Suez in
June, 1882, freight by her both ways
was fixed at 81, and this rate prevailed
for a year and a half, the Mariposa
and Alameda carrying freight at
the reduced rate. This advantage to
the producers and importers of Homo
lulu was conferred upon them by the
enterprise and capital of Messrs. John
d. Spreckels 81 Brother.

How the Italian Belle Is Adored.

In lettering through italian towns

more than the extraordinary grace and
beauty of the women, and he naturally
desires to express his gratitude to those
who have lent new loneliness 20 life
In the north this is easy enough How
beautiful she isl" echoes wherever small
feet fail lightly on the pavement of any
city from Venice to Florence, and now
even to Rome Dainty little ears hear
the words not unkindly, and soft, sweet
voices will sometimes argue not quite
kindly as to whom they were intended
for. But in Naples we must be silent
and discreet The noblemen have re-
volvers and the lazZaroni long knives hid

police but yet within easy reach
Let the young man be careful, and, if
he must give vent to an admiration too
passionate to be silenced, let him draw
his right hand down his face from the
cheekbones to the chin. That means
ooh, how lovely she isl" and the slower
the movement is, SO long as it is clearly
perceptible, the more deep and lasting
is the expression supposed to be indicated.
Every woman, be she peeress or peasant,
understands this sign, and will go home
the happier for having seen it. Whether
it was of yore symbol of worship for
the old EtruScans we cannot tell. 1t Is
certainly one of the most sincere forms of
alteration that modern Naples knows.

An amusing incident tells us how the
author of that specific modern hit, "Hush,
Little Baby. Don't You Cry" hit upon the
peculiar name for his work. The author,
Mr. M. H. Rosenfeld, while passing through
the labyrinthian precincts of a southern
fruit market at. Charleston, s. c., some
years ago was attracted to burly negress
upon whose lap a. negro infant lay screaming
Seeing that the efforts of the mother to soothe
her precious burden were in vain, the author

youngester, "Husb, little baby, you'll be an
angel bye-and-bye." From some inexplic-
able cause, whether from surprise or from
added fright (Mr. Rosenfeld is tall, lanl1
individual with flowing locks a la WILDE, or
whether from the sound of strange voice,

frantic career and stared wonderingly at
the passing writer, who fastened home, and.
with the enthusiasm Of inspira ton, wrote
that now famous composition. TIE publish

A short time since some half dozen
ladies were discussing foot gear, and it
transpired that they all had the same shoe
maker, and that he had gradually raised
them from $12 to SIS a pair for their best
shoes. If you notice the welLdressed
ladies doing their late morning or early
afternoon shopping you will ind the
greater number of them shod with dis
reputable, run down at.the- heel specimens,
but don't imagine that poverty or want of
better is the cause. The new shoes are
being stretched on large-sized last at the
makers, or on the feet of some smaller
friend or sister.
Ladies try all manner of ready made
articles-alWays too tight-until they are
finally obliged to resort to shoes made to
order. The maker, to secure a customer,
is at first moderate in his charges; but. as
soon as he finds himself to certain ex
tent indispensable he increases his price

SUGAR refining is not always a
paying business. 1t was not SO on
the Coast until Colonel Spreckels
took hold of it and reduced it to
clean cut business principles, invest
ing large sums in the erection of the
most effective machinery that science
has produced for the refining process.
1t further seems that the ST. Louis
refineries are not all successful. The
st. Louis "Grocer" reports that the
Belcher Sugar Refinery works of that
city were sold on August 18th, by
order of the Court, for $747, 600, this
being the amount of the bonded debt.
1t is rumOred, our contemporary
states, that there will be an early re-
organization of the company, with an
added cash capital of $500, 900, and
that operations will be resumed about
December 1st next.

One of Greeee's Traditions

It Is interesting TO know that one at least
of the best traditions of classical Greece has
lasted down to these latter days. This is the
readiness of rich citizens to perform public
services at their private expense. The Uni
versity OF Athens boasts an endow ment at
this moment of more than SO, 900 900. There
is a hospital at Athens, too, entertaining
more than 100 aged brothers, which was
founded by single wealthy Greek citizen.

INDUCES in this rather trite, but, with Qualf-
cations, true observation: "The man who
spends all lie earns as he goes along does not
become capitalist: the man who denies him
self Of present qualification in order that he
may have something laid by for the future
does" This proverbial saying implies that
the object of life is to become a Capitalist -
With great number of persons this seems to
be the case. But there are those who reflect
that, as to our earthly course, tive pass this
way but once" and that, in order to "wrest
from life its uses and gather from life its
beauty" they niast do something beside save
money as they go on. To spend money aim-
essly in foolish qualification is very silly.
To spend itas freely as possible, within the
prnden, limit Of earnings, for the things that
make life worth living, is often the highest
wisdoxa. 1t is poor aud barren ending of the
earthly career to come to IFS close nothing bu,
