In a rocky bluff near Gouverneur,
n. Y, there is to be seen a strange
freak Of nature. To all appearances
some wood-chopper has been engaged
in cutting stove-wood, heading down the
block and splitting of. The kerr is
perfect, showing the axe-marks, even to
the point where the header was cut
straighter to deepen it. The season
cracks on the log are perfectly initiated,
and the whole is in solid rock, resting
on q bed Of the same material. pre-
cluding the idea Of its petrifaction.

the roof in full blaze. In few
moments afterwards nearly every
luna and man on the plantation were
there, and each and everyone set
about the work before them in a

hour the flames were subdued, the
fire having heen confined to the
kitchen and adjoining room. 1t hap

you his most earnest wish that you
will accept the offer and give to the
government the benefit of your scienti-

l beg leave to add for myself an
equally urgent request that you will
accept the place. The bureau needs,
at this moment more than ever, the
care and guidance, not only of
superior scientific faculties, but of
the very best executive ability. We
are convinced that you can satisfy
both of these urgent needs, and be
worthy successor of even the most
distinguished among the very CON-
petent and illustrious men who have
been at the head of it's forces. Use
full and important as the work of the
bureau has been, much and even
more useful and important work
remains to be done. Your accept
ance of the Office now rendered to
you, without solicitation on your
part, will be an assurance to the
country, we hope, that while pro-
scouting its great purposes with
judlcious economy, n scientific in
telligence of the broadcast and highest
order will surely mark the progress
of the bureau. May we net hope,
if you shall hesitate about postpon-
ing for little your present work at
Cambridge and the pursuit of tie
speciality which SO much interests
you, that you will, before making a
final decision, come to Washington,

the president and myself, be con-

ISLAND NOTES,

Mr.. d. M. Crowley has just re-
turned from business tour of the
Kau district, and reports the seasons
sugar interests to be unusually pro-
missing and the mills commencing to
grind the largest crop yet raised in
the district.
At Pahala the only threatened
drawback was want of water, caused
probably by the force of the trade
wind on that bend of the Island in
creasing evaporation. There is,
however, an unlimited supply to be
had by tapping the mountains.
At Pahala, Hilea, Hanuapo and
Naalehu plantations the labor is
chiefly Portuguese, and the people
appear contented and happy, but
they appear to have the most COM
