Hou, who is now talked about 80
much, and in those days it was I'M /
derstood by Hawaiians that foreign |
journalism was of superior cha.a cter, |
heing conducted by men who knew |
the country, and who knew the peo-
pie.
But what have We now? A style
of journalism that is nothing but
scoid and quarrel. What bad name
we must get abroad through our for
eign journals! They show up the
shortcomings and diseases of the
country In way that Is said to keep
many rich foreigners, who have
money tn spend In travel, from pay
ing US visit.
And who are they, the new set Of
foreign journalists, who write so die
tatorially about the condition of the
country, and the views OF the people,
aad tie way to set the nation Alright?
Let us point them out. Who is the
editor of the biggest sheet, the Ga
zette? A school teacher named At
kinson, who was brought here few
years ago IA an assistant of the Eng
Iish Bishop, and was appointed Prin-
cipaI of the Government Fort Street
SchooI. Then he was hired by Mr.
We to write for his paper, and he
began 10 write spitefully and NAL
iciOusly against people now in power,
long before they were in office. The
j., way he writes now is only a cnntin-
o nation of the way he wrote before Mr..
Gibson and his colleagues had any
thing tn do with the Government
He writes from personal spite only;
hut he was not tmnve(l from the
Government school for a long time

Carrying Out his Orders.

Hugh Mcclure, a son Of the Emer-
aid Isle, who had volunteered in the
Tenth Mississippi Regiment Of Infan-
try, stationed at Pensacola, Florida,
in 1861, was placed upon picket one
night on the beach, with orders to
walk between two points, and to al
low no one to pass without the coun-
tersign and that to be given in q
whisper. About midnight the cor
poral with the relief discovered, by
the moonlight, Hugh up to his waist
in water, the tide having set in since
he was posted two hours before.
"Who goes there ?"
"Relief."
"Halt, relief; advance corporal,
and give the countersign."
Corporal-"I am not going in there
to be drowned. Come out here and
let me relieve you."
Hugh-"Deyil bit | will. The
Liftenant towld me not to lave my
post"
Corporal-"Well, then, I'll leave
you in the water all night" going
away as he spoke.
Hugh-"Halt I'll put hole in
ye if ye pass without the countersign.
Them's me orders from the Liftenant,"

body will hear it if | bawl it out to
you"
Hugh-"Yes, me darlint, and the
Liftenant said it must be given in q
whisper; in wild ye. Me fingers on

The corporal had to yield and wade
in to the faithful sentinel, who ex-
claimed; "Be jabers it's well ye're
