Our neighbor, Dakota, is the subject OF
a good deal of attention just now. The
recent action of the people in that terri
tory, the discussion in congress. and the
presence in Washington of delegates sent
therr By the territorial Democratic central
committee. combine to make Dakota and
its affairs notorious. The delegates of the
Democratic committee oppose the division
OF Dakota on the 10th parallel, or any
other line, and they a%ntagonize the admis-
sion of the territory as a state under the
Sioux Falls constitution, which, it is
claimed, was gotten up by a set of politi-
clans TO further their own interests and
to the detriment of the territory. They
consider the act of the last Legislature in
appropriating $20,O09 for the preliminary
expenses in the organization OF a state
government as unwisc and illegal and an
abuse of power in wasting the peoples
money. In fact, they are totally opposed
to the scheme of state government and the
election by the late convention at Huron
Of two Republican senators, denouncipg
the proceedings as revolutionary, contrary
to law and order and tending to anarchy
and ruin.
In regard 10 the territorial g%overnorship
the Democratic delegates have taken a
firm position against Mr.. Zeibach, wi o
has heretofore been recommended, on the
ground that he favors the division of Da-
kota and the admission of the southern
bali as a state, which would throw the
whole machinery Of statehood into the
hands of what they term the old Yankton
ring, thereby %endangeripg the prospects
of Il grand state. The Democratic COM
mittee has indorsed and recommended for
this appointment Hon. b. G.. Caulfeld,
of Deadwood, formerly a member OF con-
gress from a Chicago, ILL.,, district. He
is a fearless Democrat, an honest, worthy
and upright citizen, competent and well
qualified for the position; a lawyer by
profession, an educated man and a gen.
tleman. MIR. Caulfeld moved to the
Black Hills during the early settlement of
that section of Dakota, and, with his VI
perior education, fine executive abilities
and force of character, his appointment
would be highly satisfactory to the people
aud beneficial to the best interests Of the
territory.
The committee claims, aud with good
and sufficient reason, that, in the existing
order of things, Dakota ought to have a
Democratic governor who is in full accord
with the national administration Their
appeal to the president closes as follows:
'Dakota, with the Sioux reservation
opened and the eastern aud western sec
tons united by rail, governed by one of
her own citizens under a Democratic ad'
ministration. will make such progressive
strides in wealth and population as to
meet the wishes of her most ardent ad.
mirrors, aud in a few years be knocking at
the doors of congress in the only legiti-
mate way for admission to the sisterhood
Of states, and will be the empire state of
the great northwest"

A short time since a gentleman who
lived In Il small town not far from Buffalo
went the way of all flesh, and the burial
ceremonies to be performed over lis re-
mains were committed TO the charge OF
local undertaken, The funeral was quite
an important one, for the gentleman was
prominent in his own town, and a num-
Der OF his friends from the city were pres
ent. The services were held In the church,
but just as the time arrived for taking the
remains 10 the cemetery a severe thunder
storm came up, and IL was considered best
not to start until the worst Of the storm
was over. The wait was rather an embar-
RAISING one, but the undertaken was equal
10 the emergency. Standing IN the chan
eel steps he shouted so as to be heard In the
choir loft at the other end of the buiiiing.
The organist will please give us a little
music TO while away the time Even the
mourners smiled.-Buffalo Express.

Allahabad is the holy place of the Hin
docs, the city OF God. Its halo of s~anctity
arises from its location at the union Of the
Jumna and the Gauges, the two sacred
stream OF India. The tongue of sandy
land at the junction is the hallowed spot,
n here myriads of the devout resort,
like pilgrims to Jordan, to purify the soul
by bathing and prayer. This custom
takes the form Of an annual festival, last
ing a month, when the lowland at the con-
fiuence becomes a vast encampment. AS
the Hindpo religion works ON u cash basis,
these occasions are embraced for purposes
of gain as well as of worship. Owners of
various portable shrines hold forth their
efficacy; Brahmins read the Shasters in
return for pious offerings; the makers of
gods are present to sell their wares, and
groups of Nautch girls find an abundant
harvest. Traders erect booth or bazars,
n the traffic in merchandise reminds
one of the great Russian fair Of Mini
Novgorod.
Every twelfth year, when Jupiter enters
a certain sign of the zodiac, occurs the
great Mela, as the pilgrimage is called,
when the concourse sometimes reaches
millions. The last took place in 1882,
The holy mendicants always attend the
Mela in great numbers, begging or exact
ing food and money from the masses.
Under the pretence Of sanctity they
almost dispense with clothing, al
low their hair and beard to grow wild,
and twist a coil of greasy rope about their
heads, or else wear nothing, while they
smear face, breast and limbs with ashes
from the funeral pyres, relieved with
daubs Of ochre and vermillion. During
Mela they inflict a variety of tortures upon
themselves. One, for example, will bury
himself in the ground until only his nose
and mouth are exposed, and feign to re-
main several days without eating-get-
ting up in the night, like the knave he is,
and stealing the material for n hearty
meal--Boston Herald.

A man named Miller, living on the
mountain road, between Thylorville and
Susanvills, Lasson county, has an S-year-
old son named Peter. Some four or five
inches of new soft snow had accumulated
on the ground, and, boylike, little Peter
proceeded to make a out OF the
first snow OF the season. Little attention
was paid TO his antics by the older mem
bers Of the family. As evening approached
the little fellow was missed, and as he did
not answer to repeated calls, the parents
became much alarmed. Search was in
stituted, and the parents naturally sought
the scene of the snow man for a possible
clew to his whereabouts, and they oun
1t. Leading from the spot OWL a steep
slope of the mountain was the track of a
huge SNOWFALL, gradually increasing in
width as it receded from the starting
point.
The awful suspicion crossed their minds
that perhaps their only child had been
carried to the canon below wrapped in the
ball. Their fears were well founded, for
on following the trail over the brow of the
slope, and at a point where it pitched
directly into the deep canon, they found
the huge ball resting on the soft boughs
of a recently fallen tree. A faint voice
was heard calling mamma Thu parents
found the little fellow almost completely
%enveloped in the SNOWFALL, with only n
breathing hole left TO mark the spot where
he was entombed. With only their hands
and sticks as implements to work with,
the parents had a lard time in freeing the
little one, but the task was finally accom-
plished, and they breathed much easier on
finding he was but little the worse for his
perilous journey. He said in attempting
to stop the ball from rolling 1t knocked
hin down, ran over and picked him up,
and it was all he could do to fight the
snow from his face as the ball rolled On.
Had the tree not stopped the ball the boy
must have been dashed to pieces in the
canon below.-Marysville (Cal.) Demo

has put out its second pair of leaves, it is
transferred to box, partitioned of so
that after the roots are well formed it can
be set out where it is intended to stand
The first transplanting is the critical
period in the life of the plant, and too
many of them are lost now simply because
they cannot have for day or two some
protection from the wind and sun. What
Is needed most on the seeding ground is
a small building, however rough, say 20
by 40 feet, covered with zinc, to shelter
the young plants. The zinc roof is rec
commended, as from it, as a rule, sufficient
water could be collected into a tank to
supply all the needs of the young plants.
AS it is now, water for keeping the plants
alive ia packed in fve-gallon oil cans on
horseback up the steep slope. Inasmuch
as the quantity brought up each load is
just about enough to slake the thirst of
the animal packing it, if he were allowed
to drink it, it can be seen that not much
can be furnished the plants every day.
The goats that roam the hill side (and
multiply in an astonishing degree) are a
nuisance that should be abated. The
power lies with the Minister of the In
terror to remove them, and it may be
taken for granted that it will be exercised
to save the embryo forest.
Notwithstanding the fact that this sea-
son has commenced very dry, and. as far
as can be calculated, threatens to continue
50, a very large number of trees on this
experimental station are beyond danger
from drought. There will be necessarily
some loss, but this will be due to causes
at present beyond the control of those
conducting the experiment. What can be
done by Mr.. Jaeger land Mr.. Cleghorn
also, who take a great interest in this
matter), as well as the forester in charge,
will be done consistent with the means
and material at their disposal.

Of the disease. This is bad enough,
but. it is not the sole danger to human
health. Glandered pork, although de
eidedly unwholesome, would have
the merit of novelty. However, the
hogs dragged portions of the carrion
into the stream OF living water run
ming through the land, where some of
it still remains. Now, as this water
is used by residents in the district,
as well as by animals of all kinds, it
is just within the range of possibility
that the disease may be communi-
Gated from this polluted stream. We
submit that if our information be cor
rect, and we have every confidence
| that it is, the stream should be cleared
of pollution, and care taken that no
diseased pork is offered for sale.

The area Of holdings is not given,
although this would have thrown
light, perhaps, upon our
econO mic system.
The population Of Honolulu is 20,-
487, of whom 1861 are males and
1916 females. The natives and half
castles number 1883; Chinese, 5,225;
white foreigners and their descend
ants, exclusive of Portuguese, 1870;
Portuguese, $50.
Lastly, the religious world of Ha-
wall is divided among Protestants,
1855, and Roman Catholics, 20,082.
The prepOnderance Of the Protestant
religion is owing to the fact that the
early missions were conducted by de-
voted members of that faith. By the
introduction of Portuguese laborers
the ranks of the Catholic church have
been strengthened materially.
On the whole, the country has rea-
son to be satisfied with the foregoing
exhibit. 1t shows very substantial
progress. What these Islands want
first is labor which will become per.
manent; labor which will surround
itself with home engagements, anC
which looks to making its permanent
abode here. Next, it wants diversified
industries to employ that labor, anC
deveIope the natural wealth of the
soil A policy of immigration having
these aims in view, and conducted
economically and efficiently would
soon build up the Hawaiian Kingdom
and increase its Importance in th'
great republic of nations.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
Described iu letter to the CIeVe.
land - Leader


Washington society Is q curious medley,
anyhow. Look at the affair at the Stewart
mansion recently. 1t was the big ball of
the season, and the guests were all invited
ones. Among them was young Holman,
the son of the chronic objector Of Con-
gress, who came into the ballroom drunk,
and rudely seized the bare arm of one of
the young ladies, and strove to compel
her to dance with him. A young South
American, member of one of the Iega-
tons, endeavored to protect the frightened
girl, and got blow in the face With Hol-
mans fist for his pains. Policemen had
to be called in to drag young Holman
from the house, and his hat and overcoat
were thrown after him. The next day the
foreigner sends challenge to young Hol-
man, and he returns an abject apology.
In fact, you meet many persons in Wash
ington society whom you would not think
of inviting to your dinner table at your
house. Official position to large extent
| determines social standing, and many a
family which moves in the second or
third rank in the society of their own
| States are elevated to the first rank
| here. Some of them have been socially
ostracised for their scandalous actions in
their native towns, but Washington never
bothers itself about the skeletons in its
| inhabitants closets, and Lucifer himself
| will be welcome here if he will dress well,
keep his hoofs dressed in patent leather,
and his tail out of sight. It is curious
how people go up and down in Washing
ton society. Senators and the sort of
! Congressman who can come here for life
| if they want to are the only ones who
have any permanence. The party in
power and its friends regulate the stand
ard, and a change of party means an
almost entire change of society. Two
years ago Mrs. Keller was the great lady
of the Capitol. Now you can hardly heal
her name. Last year Mrs Speaker Car
Isle took her place, and Washington snob
| bishness bowed to her as did the courtiers
to Qveen Elizabeth. Next year there viii

woman, and if so, Susan B. Anthony

DANGER OF CHAMBERS SPREADING.

In yesterdays ADVERTISER men
ton was made of the death of two
horses from CHAMBERS at Kalihi, and it
was further stated that the carcasses
were eaten by hogs. we have since
been told that the fact of three dis
eased animals running with a band
of horses at the place mentioned was
reported, but that only one of them
had been removed. The two that re-
manned died as stated, and their flesh
was devoured by hogs, which will
unquestionably be slaughtered and
exposed for sale in the market should
they not anticipate the knife by dying
