FRIENDLY DISAPPOINTMENT.

Stern disappointment! you're my friend,
Although you're hard to bear!
l asked for joy, and in its stead
You've brought me near despair.
Isought for pearls of priceless worth,
And, from your cruel store,
You've given me granite from the rock
And cebbles from the shore.
But, heavy as your touch has been,
I've learned to bear its weight.
And, drawing good from something III,
I've struggled with my fate.
And when the agony had passed
Beheld, with glad sur prise,
That pain, and sorrow, and distress,
Were angels in disguise.
I've learned that granite from the rock,
And pebbles from the tide,
Nav be tm Ployed for useful ends,
? Mhsn pearls have been denied.
So, disappointments! do your worst!
And, scorning to complain,
I'll stand unconquered and confess
You've not been sent in vain,

worthy of record. The door-panels are
all hand-painted, the partiereS are worked
tastefully in agreeable colors, the pictures
are all good, and the hostess is as artistic

A great many people cannot see how it is
they do not take cold when exposed to cold
winds and rain. The fact is, and it o-.zht
to be moro generally understood, that ne@rly
every cold is contracted indoors, and is not
directly due to the cold outside, but to the
heatinside. A man will go to bed at night
feeling as we'll as usual and get up in the
morning with royal cold. He goes peek
ing around in search of cracks and keyholes
and tiny drafts. Weather strips are pro-
cured and the house is made as tight as a
fruit can. In few days more the whole
family have colds. Let man go home
tired or exhausted, eat a full supper of
starchy and vegetable food, occupy his
mind intently for while, go to bed in a
warm, close room, and if he doesn't have
cold in the morning it will be wonder. A
drink of whisky or glass or two of beer be-
fore supper will facilitate matters very
much. People swallow more colds down
their throats than they inhale or receive from
contact with the air, no matter how cold or
chilly it may be. Plain, hearty suppers are
good to go to bed on, and are far more con-
ducive to refreshing sleep than glass of
beer or dose of choral In the estimate
of great many this statement is rank
heresy, but in the light of science, common
sense and experience it is gospel truth.

BY AN APPRECIATIvE GUEST.
We have many beautiful homes in Homo
lulu, and our drives up the Valley and out
on the Plains are made pleasant by the
sight of pretty houses, fine residences,
and stately mansions, grass lawns
and beautifully kept gardens.
At Waikiki, which is only waiting for
the shrubs and plants to grow to be
paradise on earth, there are many beauti-
full seaside residences, where great deal
of patience, taste, and energy have been
displayed, and large amount of money
expended. Many visitor and tourist
who has been royalty entertained upon
that hospitable shore carries away the
remembrance of golden afternoons sw ag-
ing in hammock in the corner of a GER
tain big lanai at Waikiki of the music
and laughter, and on all sides through the
wide windows a wonderful view of glowing
sky and sea stretching away into misty
distance ; and of bathing parties on that
perfect beach where the ladies gave little
terrified screams, and chung to each other
and padded about on the sandy bottom,
while the gentlemen discreetly turned the
telescope the other and the drives home
ward by moonlight.
There is another bachelor lanai at
Waikiki, whose interior is rich and ele-
CANT enough for the salon of Partisan
grogade dame, soft rugs under foot, pic
lures aud bric-a-brac upon the walls and
easy chairs, gold-fishes, musical boxes,
and well-flled sideboard.
Coming back towards Honolulu, one
passes a house well back from the road,
surrounded by tall, bending cocoanut
trees, and a broad lawn where many a
gay party of our young society-people
have assembled to help the hospitabls
hostess to entertain a number of navy
officers from a man-of-war in port.
On either side of winding picturesque,
street are humber Of seaside cottages,
where many of our city people spend a
few months of the year bathing, fishing,
sketching, and enjoying the air fresh from
the ocean.
There is a large mansion on Punch
| boWl street Whlcn Is uhoccuPleuj except
when the owner or any of his family are
in town, which, we are sorry to say, is
seldom, for it is palatial residence, and
emiently fitted for society gatherings.
Across the street is a similar house,
smaller, but not less elegant, which has
the reputation of being thesscene of the
most brilliant parties and balls ever given
| in Honolulu. When the season of court
mourning is over, We hope you will open
your doors oh most elegant and grace
full hostess-society is very dull open
your doors, and set the ball a rolling.
We have too many handsome homes to
permit of an enumeration but there is a

The Latest Dramatic Novelty at the
Paris Renaissance.

"Le Voyage an Caaecase, by MN. Blavet
and Carre, which is being played at the
Renaissance in Paris, has come into the
world with bright prospects. tits described
as highly extravagant and farcial comedy.
1t has plot, however, that is ingeniously
unravelled, and which interests the audience
apart from the merely humorous incidents
with which it is so we'll supplied. NJ. Cha
puzot is a tradesman. who, at the opening
of the piece, has retired from business and
is living in considerable afluance. He
represents that animation of stupidity and
ambition with which natures somewhat
restricted range of comic types of character
has been of such immense service to dram
attic writer's. Chapuzot's ambition is to
make figure before the world as an author,
although his ignorance in literary matters
is profound. His wife keeps this ambition
active by continually stirring the fire. More
over, she is the ''gray mare and Chapuzot
submissively follows her lead. sChapuzot
had tenant named Dnburin, who died with
out paying his rent and left no funds His
effects were seized by the landlord, who
found the MS. of book, entitled sic Voy-
age az Castease - among other chattels.
1t at once occurred to the luminous mind
of the retired tradesman that he would have
the MS. printed, and pass the book off as
his own. His wife threw herself into the
scheme with zeal, and when the book was
published she had a handsomely bound copy
placed on lectern and invited all the neigh
bors round about to hear her read it, When

he has retired to spend his remaining days
in lettered ease, which throws him into
great CONSERVATION. This person announces
himself as Schamyl, Circassian, and the
son of one of the principal personages whom
| the real author of the book visited in the
, Caucasus. In reality he is the nephew of
the deceased doctor, and being a'livcly med
ical student, he has determined to have
some amusement at the expense of Chapuzot.
| He is treated by the latter with the greatest
| consideration, and has the run of the villa
at Vile d'Avray, He brings thither num-
| Der of his Paris friends of both sexes, all of
\ whom pass themselves off as Circassians,
| and the ChapuZots are almost driven mad
| by the pranks these farceurs play. Another
| character in the piece is young man named
Durandeau, who aspires to the hand of
| Chapubot's daughter, and who, to ingratiate
| himself with the father, actually sets off to
| the Caucasus. During his absence the
| counterfeit SchamYl makes love to the
daughter, and when he eventually discloses
the secret of his relationship to- the true
author of Gle Voyage az Caucase," Chapu-
| zot perceives that the only way of saving his
literary reputation is to give his daughter to

A BOOM.

The long-felt want of the age has at last
been supplied; the inventive mind of man
has achieved triumph of mind over mat
ter in the invention of lsbor-saving ma
chine second only to the power press in inn
portance. This signal success has been
achieved in the production of The Circum-
spect Clippings Cutter and Automatic A.
sistant." The machine Is about 20x40 inci.es
in size, and is fitted at the back with pair
of rollers running its whole width. Be
tween these can be introduced single sheet
of almost any exchange. which, being IN
position, a handle is turned and the news
paper passes between a pair of cutting
blades arranged parallel with each other
These are capable of adjustment sideways,
and beyond them is another cutter at right
angles with the first pair. Still further on
is a revolving paste brush that moves par
TALLY in tank full of poi, paste or gum.
Sheets of blank paper are fed into the ma
chine by the Office devil, and when in use,
all the city editor has to do is to select the
exchange he wants to take clippings from,
| place the edge of one sheet in contact with
| the rollers, warn the devil to commence
| feeding the blank paper in, and turn the
crank. While doing so with one hand, with
| the other he manipulates levers that control
the cutters, and the machine does the rest.
The result is a symmetrically arranged lot
of cuttings, nicely pasted on to paper slips,
ready for the compositors. No more kick
ing the "deviI' for CARRYING off the Office
shears to trim the lamps with. No more
blowing up Of the mailing clerk for appro-
priating the paste and brush. No heat, no
noise. All is peace. -

THE NICARAGUA TREATY .

We have nowhere seen a more
clear and Ineligible statement of
this convention, which is creating so
much discussion, than the following
from an exchange:
E4By this treaty the United States
and Nicaragua enter into partner
ship to construct an interoceanic
ship canal throBgh the territory of
the latter State. Nicaragua furnishes
the right of .Yay, the land, and the
materials so far as these are found in
the land-a strip two and a half miles
wide-through the center of which
the canal shall run; the United States
furnishes the money, and agrees to
construct the canal in ten years
time. The canal and adjoining land
is to be joint property of the two
countries; and the canal is to be
operated by a Board of Managers,
three appointed by each Power, but
the President of the Board is to be an
appointee of the United States, and
in case of tie is TO have an addi-
tiOnal casting vote. Nicaragua will
impose no customs or other dues or
taxes or tolls on vessels passing
through the canal; and whatever
canal tolls are charged by the man
agement shall be equal to vessels of
all nations, except that coasters of
either contracting party may have
special rates. The receipts shall be
divided between the two Powers,
Nicaragua taking One-third; the
United States two-thirds. Neither
Power may ALLEVIATE its interests in
the canal. Provision is also made
for the construction of a parallel rail-
way and telegraph line if the United
States should so elect. The United
States guarantees to protect this ter
ritOry of Nicaragua, and enters into a
perpetual alliance with it for the pur-
pose. 1t also agrees to loan Nicara-
qua $4,000, 600 for internal improve
ments, to be repaid out of the first
| receipts from the canal. In his let
ter to the Senate accompanying this
treaty, President Arthur puts very
clearly and forcibly the arguments in
| it's favor. For all maritime purposes
San Francisco is further from New
York than the one port is from Asia
or the other Africa. The great rail-
road lines which now bind the Allan
tic and Pacific coast are insufficient
for our commercial needs. The i'm
mense breadth of our own territory
makes a ship canal within our Dor
ders out of the question. The pro-
posed canal will make European
markets accessible to our Pacific
States, will develop our coasting
trade, will revive our languishing
ship-building, will save for sailing
vessels seventy-five days between
New York and San Francisco, will
develop our trade with our South
American neighbOrs, and will un.
questionably pay its own way from
the start"
