Proper, but Unusual.

Augusta Chronicle.
Some years ago we took occasion to
commend the action of a young grain
dealer in Baltimore, who paid back dol
lar for dollar, with interest, the indebt-
edness caused by a business failure.
This course was so exceptional that his
fellow merchants many of whom ad-
mired virtue if they had it not, gave him
a rOusing ovation. Since then the young
man has made fortune, and we hope
he may keep it. When we asked him
about this rem arkable transaction he
said ooh, am just doing what my
grandfather did before me. He was an
honest man, and l am determined to
keep up the brand in our family"
Now, this incident was recalled by the
announcement that Mr.. Henry Hob
man, clothing merchant, of Chicago,
had Just paid in full his creditors who
some years ago, accepted fifty cents on
the dollar, when he became an involun-
tary bankrupt. So honest was his fail
ure that friends were not lacking to trust
and put him on his feet again, and nobly
has he redeemed their confidence, al
though the payment of his debts at
discount left him well nigh penniless.
Each year, as he prospered, he put aside
a sum of money for his creditors, and, at
last, accumulated enough to satisfy all
old demands, which had already been
compromised. His son being interview
ed, said My father writes from the
East where he journeyed to make set
tlement of accounts, that he never had
such pleasant trip in his life. Every
where he has met with an enthusiastic
reception, and the men whom he has
paid has no. been able to do enough for
him. A statement was made in one of
the evening papers that he was going to
pay up half of the old debts. This is an
injustice, as he has paid them in full so
far, and intends to find out every claim
against him and pay every cent of it at
once. One incident in Boston, where he
now is. he says more than compensates
him for the whole S3S, 600. A creditor,
whose name I forget, who at the time of
the settlement was disposed to be very
easy with them, but since died and left
large family in rather destitute cir
/ cumstances. Father did not know of
/ this until he reached Boston and hunted
( them up. The meeting between them
when he gave the poor widow his check
/ for the amount due, which l believe,
was about $4,000, you can imagine bet
ter than / can describe 1t will be the
/ happicst day of his life when he gets
back to Chicago and has the satisfac-
tion of feeling that he owes no man a
dollar"

waters. the dove returned with an olive

faIcation, embezzlement, false entries,
shameless evasions Of duty and trust,
there are still honest men--many Of
them perhaps; a few certainly. This
side of purgatory what torture must
there be for the man who is faithless to
such obligations. This side of heaven,
what bliss is greater than that Of such a
man as Mr.. Holman, who abroad and at
home will be sure to receive that gIo-
rious tribute which even vice pays to
virtue.

asked an old friend of Jackson to-day
how the General used to conduct affairs
at the White House when he was Presi-
dent. She said jackson had no fool
ishness. He believed in working and
having everybody about him do the
same thing. His breakfast hour was
generally between and o'clock.
have often seen him hurry from the table
to go to the library to begin work. His
table at every meal contained the finest
of everything that could be found. Some
Of the dinners were simply superb. l
don't believe a day passed but that he
had two or more friends TO dine with
him. He seldom had many at his table,
but enjoyed extending his hospitality to
a few. If friend called with a friend
at dinner hour, the two were invariably
urged to dine. l remember one after
noon while | was visiting at Gen. Jack
sons had been out with young naval
officer. He left the White House Just
before dinner When [ went to the
table the General wanted to know why
1 had not invited the young man to re-
main and dine. That is the way he
treated all his friends. His opponents
shared differently they were disposed
Of in very short order, and without argu-
ment pro or con. He was a positive man,
and when he went 10 the White House
disposed of office holders in quick sue
cessiOn and appointed those who had
aided him. Delegations came to the
White House to recommend or inter
pose The latter he dispatched more
rapidly than they came. Of course
there were not the many delegations al
that time who so to-day. l remember
once seeing him take his cane and start
to hit the caller who had displeased him.
The caller was none other than the Spea-
ker of the House of Representatives. He
wanted something and insisted that it
should be given to him. The more he
talked the more angry Gen. jackson be-
was going to hit the caller. hut he hur-
riedly left the room.
Gen. Jackson always dressed in black.
He wore a locket continually containing
his wife's picture about his neck. a
large portrait of her hung opposite toe
foot of his bed. have seen some few
devoted husbands, but have never seen
one so devoted as was Gen. jackson to
his wife. She was a very handsome wo-
man.
ut was amusing to watch him of eve
nings. Generally at early candlelight he
would take his cob pipe and sit before an
open fire place. He would pick coal,
light his pipe, and, leaning back in his
chair and crossing one leg above the
other would mediate for hours"

Why He Would appoint a SrcClung.

Why He Would Appoint a NcClung.
New York Journal.
Yesterday Congressman Henley, of
California, called upon Secretary Lamar
to file papers in behalf of an applicant
for the San Francisco Land Office named
McCIung.
''McCIung {" said Lamar, excitedIy,
"McClung?" ?"
Yes, said Mr.. Henley ''McClung."
"Well," said Mr.. Lamar, Il want to
give due notice here and now that any
man by the name Of McClung can have
any reasonably moderate request for
office granted promptly by me. I knew
Pierce McClung, of Mississippi. I guess
he killed every man he ever had any
trouble with. l know three he killed
and my acquaintance with him was very
slight. He never married, having cour-
ted in early life the lady whom Clemont
c. Clay afterwards married. l remem-
Der that when it was proposed to remove
McCiung's body from the place where it
was first buried Clay protested against
it and said his very bones would shoot
I think Clay always felt more or less ter
ror as long as McClung was alive. If
this McClung of yours is anything like
Pierce McClung, I'll appoint him to save
my life, or if I refuse and he will kill
you, won't appoint him. You would
not bother me any more and that would
be some relief"

did not respect your chiefs, and did
not wipe the dirt from off the mirror Of
your hearts by the polish Of friendship \
therefore again the storm Of the anger
of God confronted you in the image of
Bukht.n-Nasir (Nebuchadnezzar) all
your property and treasure which you
had stored up we're plundered by his
troops, your men and women we're
made captives, and taken to Babylon,
which is now call Bagdad He de.
stroyed Baitul Makudas, the sacred
house, Jerusalem, and drove you from
the gardens of Syria, and foI length
of time you we're captives to the tyrant
until he departed to the desert of hell.
Then you, leaving the countries Of
Arabia, came to the hills of Ghour and
settled yourselves there
You were in that country when the
mercy Of God supported you, and
Through Kais and the good acts Of
Khalid-bin-Walid you were ennobled
by being converted to Islam"
For a long time they were pretty
badly of, even though religiously they
were alright AT last Ahmed Shah
Abdali put everything in order and
freed them from obedience to
strangers" After this the Ameer must
himself tell what took place:
Through his prosperous luck and
suitable deeds on your part, you slum-
bered in the cradle Of safety. You
took possession of the Provinces OF
India, the borders of Turkistan, and
some parts of Persia, and brought to
your own country all the riches Of those
places, and with it you built new cities
and good houses. You continued in
the enjoyment of the blessings Of God
until you again forgot to submit your
thanks to God and again became jeal-
GUS and malicious to each other, and
much bloodshed and fighting took
place among you. When this migrate
ful conduct of yours toward the bounty
of God exceeded the utmost limit, the
sea Of the anger Of God began to rise
and he sent the British nation from O
corner of this world to twist your ears
and they inflicted on you all sorts oil
punishment until smoke rose up from
your race and your lamentation and
clamors reached the sky. Eventually
your prayers were accepted by God
after much opposition and fighting you
got released from the'hands of such q
powerful enemy and twisted the wris,
OF that brave nation by the force OF
your daylight prayers and your mid
night sighs."
Well, after those Ten Tribes had
had their own Gears twisted" and had
twisted their own Anglo-Saxon brothers
wrist they had, it seems, agoodtime Of
it under the Ameer's grandfather, Of
blessed memory. Then they were
again punished through the instru-
mentality of that "bad man." Shere Ali.
But he was put down and punished,
and the Ameer's father got to his own
again. On the death Of that gentle
man, however, sore troubles again
came to these chosen Ten Tribes in
the shape of earthquakes, cholera and
floods. --zo,0ato Globe.

SATURDAY. ..... NOV. ID, 1885

The Hawaiian nation has nov
reached point where the country.
must be made self-supporting in other
words we must practice what time
has taught US, and learn to depend
upon ourselves. There are two ways
in which nations can become wealthy,
either by foreign commerce, or through
home production and manufactures.
We donot here touch upon the pro-
bable results which may follow the
opening Of the. Panama 1nter-ocean
Canal, and perhaps build up these ISL
ands into great commercial-storing
and reshIpping depot; we dorot spec.
ulate, but treat Of the facts which sur
round us claiming our attention.
Whenever financial crisis is im,ni-
nent capital always commences seeking
new avenues for investment. This
fact is best illustrated by the past and
present inquiries concerning new in
dustries through our home newspapers.
There is no denying the fact that the
question Of future self-support is caus-
ing this investigation and is opening
up new fields of labor and colonization
schemes. But besides these new de
velopments which are now being
operated, we have lapsed industries
which have beforetime been made
successful here and might be prohtably
renewed and carried on in connection
with new enterprises Among the new
industries compatible with our sur
roundings might be mentioned fruit
packing and drying. small farming and
cattle raising. the manufacture of
paper; the production of fibres, the
tanning Of feathers, and various other
minor manufactures. 1t is, however,
to the raw silk industry that we call
special attention. Cotton culture in
these islands failed at the Ameri.
can Rebellion, because Hawaii could
not compete with the renewed cotton
industrious of the Southern States, and
and because Of the ravages OF the
cut-worm. In the South bale
OF cotton (hve hundred pounds)
per acre is the average yield, which, at
ten cents per pound, brings in only
fifty dollars, hence we were forced to
rely upon sugar which yields an aver
age return Of almost twice that amount.
The silk industry is freedrom the dis
advantages which surrounded the pro-
duction of cotton. It will yield hand
some return and will give employment
to large number Of our people. The
question Of freight compared with the
price and weight of silk cocoons would
almost entirely disappear The moth
of the silk worm lays an enormous
number Of eggs, which are worth an
average of four dollars an ounce. If
the silk worm is killed before il changes
into moth, the cocoons are worth
from $r.5o to So, or even more, per
pound; but if the chrysalis is allowed
to eat its way through the cocoons
after developement, they are only
worth about seventy-fve cents per
pound.
The requisites for silk culture on
these islands would be mulberry trees
