Eula Brown of Courtney, Tex, is the
youngest telegraph operator in America
possibly in the world. She is but little
over years of age. Yet there is hard
ly duty or detail of railroad telegra-
ply in Texas that she is not thoroughly
familiar with. Her father has been an
operator for years, and the little one
has passed all, or nearly all, her time
in telegraph office since she first
learned to creep. She always has y
fondness for tampering with the keys.
and she had hardly learned the letters
of the alphabet before she also knew the
telsgraphic signs and sounds for each.
Before she had learned to write plainly
she could send a message over the
wires at fair rate of speed, and to-
day she can send and take as well us
any of the average operators of the
country.
In a recent speech in the reichstag
Prince Bismarck said: II must say
that when | was in England l always
had a painful and uncomfortable i'm
preston of the English Sunday; and l
was always glad when it was over. L
am sure, too, that many Englishmen
had the same feeling about 1t, for they
thought to accelerate the march of
time (on that day), without witnesses,
in a manner which | would rather not
characterize, and were overjoyed when
Monday dawned. Whoever has lived
in English society will understand what
! mean. On the other hand, if you go
into the country around Berlin, if it
does not exactly happen to be near a
brewery, and look at the villages, you
are pleased with the appearance of the
people in their holiday garb, and thank
God that we live not under the yoke of
Rn English Sunday" -...,<,rxrz,ass,xs

An Important Local Business.

Messrs. Hellister & Co., whose advertise
ment appears in another column, have found
it necessary to considerably enlarge their
business premises to accommodate the re-
quirements of their growing trade. This
they have done by moving the private Office
into the room adjoining their store, and also
by taking in the whole of the second story
of the freproof store in which they are To-
Gated on Nuuanu street. This latter is used
to store their large stock, and in one depart
ment are to be found piles of boxes of cigars
and cigarettes, and on shelving reaching
from floor to ceiling a great variety OF pro-
prietary goods. In the adjoining room are
stored drugs and chemicals, and here are
prepared medicinal mixtures, healing hiera
picratics and pleasantly persuasive pills in
the most accurat tie manner. OFF this room is
another private office, and next to that a
space devoted to medicinal (advertising)
!itera ture. Tie whole arrangement is con-
veniemt and complete, and calculated to
facilitate the dispatch of the large business
done by this firm.

No YACHT RACE.
All this time the yachts that had been
entered for the next race were cruising
around; but when they were called up It
turned out that two of the three had become
tired waiting-like many of the spectators
and there being but one on hand, Mr.. Viii
cox's Pauline, this race was dropped out and
the next called for.
SHE'LL RACE, SINGLE SOULS.
The single scull race, the first Of the kind
ever rowed in these waters. was between the
Pet, James Seeley, aud the No Name,
George Markham. The course was from
the can buoy to and around q buoy of the
lighthouse and return. The two boats
darted away from the can buoy, and made
good time ali through. Mr.. Markham rowed
in good form, while Mr.. Seeley was, of course,
at home in this style of rowing, in which be
is very proficient. Their frail crafts were
much admired by the spectators. The race
was won by Mr.. SeeIey.
THE FoUR-oARED GIG RACE,
With which the days sport terminated, was
well rowed by the three boats that took part
n it. There were six boats entered, but
the MyrtIes declined to allow their two boats.
the Stranger and Lillian, to put in an appesr
ance, giving as a reason the refusal of the
judges to make an immediate decision in the
six-oared (senior) race.
AT few minutes before o'clock, the No
Name, manned by hay Wodehouse, II. W.
Morse, John Holt and John Markham,
and Whitney, coxswaIn; the Liliuokalani,
manned by J. SeeIey, George Markham,
John Dowsett and James Dowsett, W. II.
DimOnd, coxswain and the PooEa aikelani,
manned by Kilano, Kakee. Kaulahao and
Kuu; coxswain, Kaulukoa, were in line
ready to compete for the Club cup. The
course WAS the same as in the second race,
and ended i'll victory for the No Name in
II minutes and AZ seconds, the Liliuokalani
drawing out of the race, and the Poomaike-
lani following a long way behind the win
ming boat
So ended the first club regatta of the
Honolulu Yacht and Boat Club. They de :
serve much credit for the energy displayed
in getting up the details of the days sport,
and it is to be regretted that any disputes
should have arisen regarding any of the
races. Pending the decision of the judges,
however, it is not in order for the press to
comment upon this subject.

\ Public-Spirited Man.


Jim McSnifter was tried in the Dis
trict Court at San Antonio. Tex, for
stealing horse. After speeches were
made, the case was given to the jury.
Judge Noonan. who was ON the bench,
said to the jury, as he handed the fore
man the papers:
"The jury will now retire and delib-
crate on verdict"
The jurymen got up to go out, but
the prisoner graciously waved his hand
at them, and said:
Gentlemen, you needn't go out on
my account. You can just stay right
here and discuss the matter. In fact,
I'd like to be present and help you
make up your verdict. 1 want to do
all can to expedite Justice"
The jury, nevertheless, retired, but
after several hours they returned, be-
ing unable to agree upon verd ct.
Once more the prisoner arose in his
seat, and said to the jury:
Gentlemen, as far as | am con-
cerned few years more or less in the
Pentent'ar is matter of no import
ance. If you can not agree on five
years make it ten. l don't want to
have it said about me that l impeded
the course of justice or that l didn' t
have any public spirit. "-zeraS SJt-

The Wild Horses of the West.

The wild horses of Wyoming and
Western Nebraska are compact little
animals, weighing 800 to LOO pounds.
The majority of them stand fourteen
hands high. In color they are usually
brown, sorrel or bay. A gray is seldom
seen, unless it is a horse that has
strayed away from civilization. Their
tails grow long frequently dragging
on the ground, but their names are
Ike those of other horses and not
flowing to the knees, as represented in
some books. The eye, probably from
beng constantly on the watch, is
larger than the eyes of the domestic
horse, and even when tanned the eye
remains a distinctive mark of the
horses origin. Wild horses, when
captured or tanned. are superior to
other horses of the same ze Many of
them are used by the cowaofs, and
others are broken to harness and driven
as carriage horses. being entirely trust

His Defense Against the Charges OF Exag'

His Defense Against the Charges OF Exag'
geratIon and Misstatement.
In a five-column interview with
Henry M. Stanley, published in the New
York Herald, the explorer defends him
self from the charges of exaggeration
and misstatement of facts in regard to
the Congo region. In conclusion he
says:
'"Gordon accused me of being too
literal He asked me, in letter to
me when he found that my conduct in
Africa had been the subject of Parlia-
mentary debate, why was foolish
enough to say anything about it, and
if had been compelled to fight. If ]
had not said so, no one could have
charged me with having been violent
toward the natives but General Gordon,
and other people who blamed me for
my candor forget that it was news
paper enterprise of the Herald and
TELEGRAPH which sent me there, and
therefore | was bound to be as literal
and as faithful as though had no con-
Germ with these events. In the same
way l have endeavored to be just as
of African climate, scenery, manners
and customs as though l had no con-
Germ whatever in Africa; for l have
told you in my preface bluntly that it
is immaterial to me whether you do
anything to Africa or not My duty
lies in giving you faithful description
of what l see. Hence think they are
unjust who charge me with exaggerat-
ing. have fond feeling for Africa.
1t is true 1 like Africa. 1 think
Africa capable of what 1 say it
is; but say there is a way of pro-
ducing that capability to its fullest ex-
tent without endangering your own
life, and give you certain ideas as to
how you should endeavor to conform
yourself under the new regime re-
quired by tropical climate.
"Now, as l have no pecuniary inter-
ests in the Congo or Africa, | think
the terms fraud and 'swindle' are a
gross misuse of words, and to say that
a man 'exaggerates' when he simply
states his candid opinion is also mis-
use of the word. Though say these
things, it is immaterial to me what you
do. My duty is, just like Emerson, to
teach men by going about my own
business; and it was my business to
give you faithful impression such as
| had of Africa and the things l saw.
l have no further interest in it. No.
body is required to do anything fol
Africa unless the spirit moves him.
There are fields as open in Africa fol
Americans, if they are enterprising
enough and have the proper CONNER.
cal spirit, as there are in China or any
other part of the world. 1 have dis
covered field where the white mems
enterprise can do great deal of good
not only to themselves, but to the
natives. That is really the raison
d'etre of all l have said. 1 have triec
to open this new field for the world
enterprise. At the same time beg tt
say that it is perfectly immaterial tt
me whether they do it, because there
is no loss to me or to any of the officers
OF the Congo State, who have nothing
at all to do there except to do thei
duty, get. their pay. and come hom'
and be happy"

A Remarkable Cure.

A remarkable case of cure from the
bite of cobra in full poison comes
from Pachmarhi, military hill station
in the central provinces of India. The
effective bite of cobra is usually re-
garded as certain death, and the sue
cessful treatment OF the case in ques-
ton will suggest to medical men the
value of hypodermic treatment in such
cases. According to the Allahabad
Pioneer, post barbara (messcn-
ger) was bitten by a cobra, VIII CHI was
afterward killed. The man was at
once taken to the military hospital but
ten or fifteen minutes must have elapsed
before medical assistance was avail
able. When the patient was taken in
hand he was in state of collapse. The
lower half of his body became gradu-
ally paralyzed, and BY degrees he lost
both speech and sight. The doctor at
this stage thought that nothing could
save the man, especially as the dead
snake had been examined and found to
be cobra in full poison. Hypodermic
injections and other obvious treatment,
however, were continued, and in about
ten hours some little improvement in
the patient was observed, Suisse
quently, the man quite recovered.
There appears not the slightest doubt
about his having been fairly bitten, for
irrespective of the symptoms, his little
finger had been torn open in shaking
the snake OIL. The cobra was four and
a half feet long.-M Y. Post.

GERMANY.
why She Takes the Flrst Place Mt the Head
of the Nations.

Why She Takes the First Place Mt the Head
of the Nations.
Germany keeps her place at the head
of other nations because of the super
ior intelligence of her people. The
proportion of illiterate people is less in
that country than in any other on earth
All the young men impressed into hel
armies grade higher in intelligence and
education than in the most favored
nations. Of hundred and fifty thou
sand recruits tested, only one and one
half per cent. could not read or write.
In some provinces, such as Wurtem.
burg, not an uneducated person could
be found. We Americans have vaunted
our superior education. but some
seventeen per cent of our population
are illiterate. In the years 1883 and
1884, thirty thousand, four hundred
and nine books and maps were pub
lished in Germany, against only seven
thousand, five hundred and sixty-nine
in the United States. This shows the
superior literary activity of the Ger
mans; and what is still more mortify-
ing to our national pride is, that most
of the works published in the United
States are stories and romances, while
larger portion of the new German
literature is scientific and philos-
phical. 1t is no wonder, therefore,
that Germany is not only the arb,ter of
Europe, but that it is making its in
fiuence felt in every part of the globe
The English merchant has heretofore
taken the leading position in trade cir
cles in all quarters of the EARTH but he
is rapidly giving place to his more in
telligent and thoroughly trained Ger
man rival. The expansion of the Ger
man power in the way of colonies and
commerce is because of the greater
mental activity developed by the edu-
cation of the German people. The
German military system would be very
unpopular should an attempt be made
to naturalize it in the United States,
but the training it involved has worked
wonders for the German character.
The drill and discipline has been an
education itself. 1t has taught the
Teuton how TO command as we'll as to
obey; physically, mentally. and NOR
ally the German race has been wonder
fully improved, not only by its
thorough education in letters, but be
cause of the incubation of solderly
virtues due to the discipline of the bar
rack and the camp, - DemOreSf S
