table except the milk and butter came
from America.
The rivers of Ireland are, when COM
pared with the rivers of the Western
Continent small. The largest river in
Ireland. and in fact, the largest in the
British Islands, is the Shannon. 1t rises
in the valley of Glengavin and empties
into Lough Allen. It's whole length is q
little more than two hundred miles. The
rivers of Ireland abound with fish of the
finest kind. More than ten thousand
men are employed in the salmon fisher
les alone. A salmon Of full size is near
two feet long and about, suppose, one
foot in circumference. 1t is nearly
round. The flesh is of rich, yellow
color, and delicious to the taste. In all
the cities and towns of Ireland fresh fish
are eaten at all seasons Of the year.
The lakes of Ireland are not so noted
as those of Scotland. Neither are they
so beautiful; but lakes are numerous in
Ireland and some of them are beautiful.
The largest is Lough Neagh. This is
the largest lake in The British Islands.
The average length of Lough Neagh is
sixteen miles, and the average breadth
about ten miles. It's shores, mike the
shores of the Scotch lakes, are level. In
winter, the waters of the lakes spread
over a large area of territory. This
moor land along the edge of the lake
gives to the scenery desolate and
gloomy appearance. The average depth
of Lough Neagh, it is said, is about forty
feet, and in the language of an lrishman,
it is "full of great fishes"

Bread, Meat and Cotton.

It is plausible argument to say that
an acre Of ground will yield larger re.
turn in money when planted in cotton
than when planted in corn or wheat or
oats, but that there is a fallacy in it some.
wnere almost every Southern farmer
knows to his cost. He who can most
clearly indicate where that fallacy is will
be q benefactor to his State and to the
South.
If an acre planted in cotton brings in
more money at the end of the year than
an acre planted in grain of any kind, or
devoted to raising hogs and cattle, why
should it not be more profitable to raise
cotton alone? The simplest answer to
this question is that, while the farmer
receives more money from cotton, he has
to pay out more. He makes a greater
profit on the one article he sells, but he
pays larger percentage of profit on a
largely increased number of articles
which he is compelled to buy in conse.
quence of raising cotton alone. The
bare corn which be feeds to his horses
and mules costs him less perhaps than it
would cost to grow it, but he has to buy
fodder or hay from his neighbor and pay
profit on it. He has no cows he buys
butter for his family, therefore, and pays
forty cents q pound for what he could
make for nothing; he has no milk to
give to his pigs, and no pigs to give milk
to. For fresh meat, once in while, he
buys beef in the nearest town and pays
twelve cents pound for what would
have cost him two or three cents pound,
or nothing. He devotes his Summer to
killing grass in the cotton rows and buys
hay all the Winter, paying dollar
hundred pounds for that which he de-
stroyed so assiduously few months be.
fore. He pays for all the fertilizers he
uses, pays heavy interest for the privilege
of buying it at all, pays to have it hauled
from town to his farm, and all the while
basis of the best fertilizer in the world
goes to waste in his stables: He sends
bis cotton to market at last, and pays the
cost of its packing, hauling, sampling
and selling. When it is sold, both his
barns and his pockets are empty. Half
the Winter is before him. He mortgages
his lands to obtain necessary supplies
and begins to prepare his fields for the
next cotton crop, which is to put him
out of debt and make him even with the
world.
This is the round OF his life and is re.
peated without swerving year after year.
Despite his figures and arguments, and
long accounts with his merchants and
factors he is as poor at the end of the
year as he was at the beginning. On the
other hand, his neighbor, who has tried
the plan of raising bread and meat first
and cotton last, has prospered. This is
the conclusion of the whole matter

In one sense Ireland is an old country.
When and by whom it was first settled
no one certainly knows. Parthalon, it is
claimed, led colony from the coast of
the iEgean sea to Ireland before, or
about, the time OF Abraham, the founder
of the Jewish nation. The Partbalon
colony was followed by the Nemedeaus ;
these were succeeded by the Firbolgs,
and these by the Dedannans, who we're
succeeded by the Miesiaus from Scythia:
Whether Parthalon came to Ireland
and settled, as is claimed. near Bally-
Shannon or not, we need not inquire. 1t
is fact, beyond all doubt, that Ireland
was settled long before the Christian era,
but how densely no one knows. Julius
Cesar, in his Commentaries, describes it,
giving to it the name Hibernia. In
point of fact Ireland is certainly an old
country; that is, it has been setted for a
long time. 1t has passed through many
vicissitudes of fortune. More than once
it has been laid waste with fire and sword,
and parts of it abandoned for time to
the wild beast. In the sense that it is q
wornout country. Ireland is not, how.
ever, an old country, There is no worm
out or exhausted land in Ireland. There
is some unreclaimed land in Ireland, but
no land exhausted by long cultivation, or
rendered worthless by bad !illage.
Ireland is largely engaged in stock
raising. AS an evidence of this, there
are exported annually, more than seven
hundred thousand head of cattle. about
the same number of sheep, and about
four hundred thousand head of hogs.
/ The increase in stock raising during the
present century has been very g-eat. On
the other hand. very large quantities oI
grain are imported by Ireland. The an

GENERAL VIEWS.


Lieutenant Purcell, who went with
Captain Stoney on the expedition up
the Putnam River in Northern Alaska,
returned to San Francisco last Monday
evening, from the Arctic, disabled from
sickness. The Lieutenant says that
the URins, Captain Stoney's vessel, is
now in Putnam River pushing explora
tons along that stream. The passage
up to Ounalaska was an extremely
slow one, owing to the light winds that
had prevailed. While at Ounalaska
the chronometers we're rated. From
there they went to St Michaels, where
they got three natives and nineteen
dogs, and on or about July 9TH they
reached st. Lawrence Bay, where they
obtained furs and clothing. The season
in the Arctic this year has been an
open one, st. Michaels being clear of
ice on May goth. In the early part Of
the year the ice was down to latitude
50 degrees
The Putnam River will be explored
first in the large steam launch, and
when this vessel can go no further bark
canoes will be substituted. 1t is ex-
pected that $50 miles of the river will
be explored before the expedition set
ties down in winter quarters. The
launch will be used in taking provisions
to winter quarters after she is disabled
through her deep draught from explor-
alton work, and when her transport
duties are accomplished her engine and
boilers will be used to run a sawmill to
cut wood for the building of frame
houses. The party will go into winter
quarters about October Ist, and stay
there till April or May Exploration,
however, will still be carried on by
means OF sledges. In May Captain
Stoney will come down the river to
Hotham Inlet, which together with the
No TAX River will be explored. 1t is
expected that the expedition will re-
turn to San Francisco about this time
next year. The members of the expe-
diton are in good health and spirits
and enthusiastic over the results of the
exploration.

HoNoLULULU STREETS.

Our contemporaries are a unit upon
the disgraceful condition of our streets.
They have constantly called attention
to their condition both in editorial and
local paragraphs, 1t is subject upon
which all are united, and yet the people,
so to speak, call in vain. The official
whose legally established duty it is to
properly supervise the road work of
Honolulu has been known to state upon
the street that he would delay needed
repairs simply because the papers had
called attention to the necessity of max
ing them For this sort OF road super
vision the people are taxed annu-
ally to the amount Of his salary S., 100.
This may or may not be the ruling mo-
tive, as has been confessed before
witnesses in one case, for the ne
gligence observable in almost every
thoonghfare within the city limits. The
general poor condition of our highways
is more likely due to the low state Of
Government finances; yet with the am
cunt Of road tax collected in this dis
trict and appropriated for road uses and
no other-it is remarkable state of
affairs, Of which the people who pay the
taxes have right to demand an ex.

While the Government is waiting
Micawber-like for something to turn up
so that the Queen street extension can
be finished before closing King street
forrepairs, why not utilize afew cart loads
of good stone and few of the prison
ers in repairing the worst places so that
these roads will be passable for vehicles
without the risk of breakage and acci-
dents. This suggestion is made on the
halfand-halfprinciple and ceases to be
laughable when it is considered, by and
Of the argument Of experience and pro-
liabilities, that few repairs are most

c. A. Van Bokelen of New York,
ex-United States Consul General at
Port-au- Prince, arrived in this city to-
day as a passenger on the American
steamer Haytien Republic from Port
au-Prince. He tells a remarkable story
of outrageous treatment at the hands OF
the Haytien Government While acting
as onsul-General, Mr.. Van Bokeen
married Haytien woman, and at the
end of his term of office he took up
the business OF dealing in the paper
money Of the native Government. AT
this he made considerable money. He
then desired to invest part of his gains
in real estate, but this was forbidden by
the law of Hayti, which denies that
right to any but native Of Hayti He
evaded the law, however, and pur
chased piece Of property in Port-au-
Prince, which transaction, reaching the
ear Of President Solomon, he caused
Van Bokelen's arrest, and had him
locked up in wretched dungeon in
the Government prison at Port. au.
Prince. His dungeon was a narrow
stone cell, which measured 8 a feet,
and the walls we're constantly dripping
with water. There the unfortunate ex-
Consul was forced to live from March,
1884, until the 27th Of June, 1885, the
place being infested with rats and loath-
some vermin. His health, which was
robust when he was first imprisoned, is
now entirely broken down, and he has
become victim to both consumption
and chronic catarrh. Mr.. Van Bokelen
says "No attention was paid by Sec
retary Solomon to the letters from Sec
retary Frelinghuysen, and he was not
released until Secretary Bayard wrote to
the Haytien President demanding his
instant release, stating that if he was
not released United States man-ol-
war was about to be dispatched to
Port-au-Prince, with instructions to
adopt severe measures, if necessary.
