Attorneys representing Mrs. Maria
Perkins, wife of w. r. Evans, opened
the succession of Myria Clark Gaines,
at New Orleans, Monday, and offered
for probate a will dated January s.
1885, naming Mrs. Evans administrators
of the estate. Mrs. Gaines leaves prop
erty in the State of Louisiana and
Washington City. This will, the Clerk
stated, was in Mrs. Gains hand writing.
Soon after the above proceedings, an
attorney appeared in Court with anoth-
er will, naming William H. Wilder and
James Y. Christmas executors. These
parties were astonished to hear that the
succession had already been opened.
and asserted that Mrs. Gains could not
write January 8th, being too ill. The
will they offered, dated January s.
1885, is under her private signature
(her mark, made in the presence of five
well-known citizens, who signed as wit.
nesses. After making few bequests
to others, Mrs. Gaines wills her estate
to be divided equally between her six.
grandchildren.

A GREAT CALM.

For some time past there has been
lull in matters political of this
kingdom. Peace and quictness are
good things, but in politics they arc
not always symptomatic of healthy
state. Storms clear the air, and
calms breed foulncss. Some people
talk as if political contention was
always vile, not to be approached
by high-minded persons who would
preserve their garments unspotted.
Such lofty idealists forget, if they
ever knew, how they came to have
any political liberties at all. A con-
dition of quiescence cannot long be
maintained with safety in the politics
of any nation that has not attained
to perfection in all the affairs of
government. Good administrations
must dcterioratc, and bad ones grow
worse, unless subjected to constant
criticism and systematic censorship.
Presuming that these propositions
will be generally accepted rs axioma-
tic, we hold that the present stag
nancy in Hawaiian politics involves
evil and not good for the future Of
the kingdom.
There are numberless questions
vital to the nation crying loudly for
definite settlement, which have
hitherto been only dealt with in
desultory fashion, and that accord
ing to expcdicncy rather than prin-
ciple. Among such questions are
those of the currency, of municipal
reform for the capital, ofimmigration,
of colonization, of public improve
ments including the roads, Of the in
dependence of the Legislature, and of
constitutional reform. Probably the
Government of the day will never
venture to grapplc i'll earnest with
such momcntous questions until a
strong opposition party is formed
upon definite platform TO contest
the issues with it. Such a party to
effect what is required Of it must not
make nominal power its immediate
object, but will have to insist upon
the principles involved, no matter in
whose hands the administration of
affairs may be placed. The true
National Party must refuse Office
until it is offered with satisfactory
guarantee that the principles adopted
by the people shall dominate th'
nation.

SILK CULTURE.
LETTER FROM MISS RossITER.

LETTER FKOM MISS KOSSlIER.
Miss Nellie Lincoln Rossiter, the
enthusiastic apostle of silk culture in
the United States, who has done SO
much and is doing so much for the
industry in that country, writes us
as follows:-
With all abundant supply of the
mulberry (and it would not be
amiss to have hedges of Usage
orange growing around the farms
and gardens, as an early food as
we'll as an additional food, when the
mulberry is not in sufficient guam
tity), two, and even three crops of
silk per year, might be raised in
your climate.
Mr.. Marques is certainly well
meaning in his remarks, though
somewhat in error, as well as dis
couraging. He is evidently seri-
culturist, and would be most yalu-
able aid to beginners, if he will not
commence with being prejudiced in
any way.
AS regards the trees, Nh. Mar
ques is wrong in stating that "the
leaves of Il mulberry tree cannot be
depended ON i'm less than from to
10 years. growth" i claim, what
is we'll known here, that "the leaves
of any of the varieties of the null
berry will produce salable silk in
their third and fourth years" lie
is right in saying that ''the young
trees will be injured by aenneling

IMITATION ROSEWOOD.

The Eject Of Hypermans,te Of POtnsso
Upon Wood Fibers.
Various methods have been devised
for treating the surface of certain woods
so as to produce the most perfect imita-
lions possible OF rosewood, walnut, etc.,
but some of the most attractive work in
this line is effected by simply spreading
on the surface Of the material conccn-
trated solution of hypermangate of po-
tassa, this being allowed to act until the
desired shade is obtained. Five min
utes suffice ordinarily to give a deep
color-few trials indicating the proper
proportions. The hypermangate of po-
tassa is decomposed by the vegetable
fibers with the precipitation of brown
paroxide of manganese, which the influ-
ence of the potassa, at the same time
set free, fixes iTsa durable manner Old
the fibcrs. When the action is termin.
ated the wood is carefully washed with
water, dried, and then oiled and pol
ished in the usual manner. The effect
produced by this process in several
woods is really remarkable. On the
cherry. especially, it develops beauti-
full red color which resists well the
action of air and CAristian al
