Why, I've actually heard people say they
would not buy of Knel simply because he
was such pushcr and doomed trade, no
matter if ii was dull However, they gen
orally come for all that and buy from us.
Why? Simply because they know that
they can save money and get better as

great many very pleasant customers at
prices that other dealers can not tumble
to.
But there was Mr.. Binks, he thinks he's
so smart. OF course nothing suits him
that's his game from the start. And he
winks at his wife so cute on the sly. As
much as to say you can't fool me if you
try. Over the creek everything is sold so
cheap. And all that he buys is counted
up in heap, When he gets back he
only blows about the bargain he got.
But don't say word how he got gulled

waiting room during the morning. A stick
over the window through which an en-
trance had first been effected had been re
moved during the day, OF otherwise 1t would
have been impossible to raise the window.
Another stranger was seen around the
depot after the robbery was discovered
and he acted rather suspclously, The
depot boys wanted Latferty to arrest him,
but that valiant knight of the billy re-
fused to do so. The stranger claimed
that he intended to depart on the 1;3O
freight for Peoria, but he did not board
the train when it came along, starting to-
wards this city instead, on foot. Later in
the evening Frank McMichael found the
revolver that had been stolen near the
Rock river bridge. The shots were fired
from ii in the morning, and when the
robbcr found it was useless as

A full list of the stolen tickets, with
their numbers, have been furnished TO
the conductors, and any one who al

is hardly probable, however that the

dispose of them, rs that would give the
company good clew to work on. The

them were on Champion, ten for Lafay-

towns have been quite prolific with inter

SALA ON HONOLULU.

Mr.. George Augustus Sala is the
latest and one of the ablest contri-
hutors to the descriptive literature
which has been pretty lavishly cX-
pended upon these isles of the sea.
His account of four hours call at
Honolulu, reprinted in yesterdays
BULLETIN, is one of the racicst pieces
of composition, as well as one of the
most complimentary to the city and
what it contains, that any person
can desire. 1t is gratifying to the
self-respect which every citizen
should entertain, to be told by
literary authority of Mr.. Sala's re-
putation and by gentleman of so
extensive travel, that this inter
ocean city is one of the most beau
tiful in the world. 1t is satisfac-
tory, too, in the face of a large
amount of what may be called geo
graphical quackery known to be
practised abroad to the great scan
uai of the climate and inhabitants
of these islands. Once in a while,
we are startled with information
from very would-be wise people in
distant countries. that the Hawaiian
climate is fatal to Europeans and
Americans, that the native popula-
ton clothe themselves '' in sun
shine" as their only garb; that n
brief residence here depletes the
Anglo-Saxon vitality, and no one of
that race can ever return to his
home and live. And when a journ-
alist from the high eminence of the
worlds metropolis proclaims the
attractions of Honolulu, as has been
done by Mr.. Sala, a thrill of salts
faction runs through the whole body
of the community.

the head "Sectarianism," contends
for Christian morality being taught
in the public schools. He asserts
that the man who cannot teach the
fundamentals of our Christian
religion without unfurling his party's
banner, be he Catholic or be he Pro-
testant, is not man fit to instruct
the young in any morals whatso-
ever" The fundamental" he
defines as belief in "the being of
God, and the existence of sin, and
the need of salvation, and the power
of Jesus the Christ to save from
sin" Article III. on "Island Text
Books" is sensible one. Ii de-
precates elaborate terms and big
words in textbook definitions, espe-
cially for Hawaiian scholars to whom
English is new tongue.

article deals with parental training
in respect of social purity. Advice
is given to parents, which it would
be well they should heed. A paper
is given which was prepared for

broken in the English Church in the
troublous times of the 10th century.
This number has large lot of home
and foreign church news, and on

PERIODICALS..

The August Friend opens with an
article on Agnosticism, in which
nature and the Bible are held to con-
tain evidence of God. This is fol-
lowed by an article taking up the
recent controversy in the Anglicdm
Church Chronicle, regarding the
status of the Anglican Church here.
Occasion is made, in that connec-
tion, for resenting certain state
ments made by parties to the dis
cussion in question, relating to the
dissenting churches. 1t looks as if
the ecclesiastical climate of Homo
lulu is growing very tropical, to use
the Friends own simile. Among
other original matter is blast
against tobacco-using in public.

Take heed! Mr.. Oggel recounts
incidents of his trip to the Volcano.
Since Mr.. Forbes went away, the
editors have had trouble to get some
one in his place to get up the Haw-
allan Board department. They had
to get dummy and equip him
with pair of scissors and n Gala
bash of paste. This sub. however,
must have stolen pen, for there is
suggestive original article on that
page, setting forth dearth of good
reading for Hawaiians and, worse, a
dearth of readers for such elevating
Hawaiian literature as is available.

The poverty Of the frontier, where
all are engaged in a common struggle,
and where common sympathy and
hearty cooperation tighten the bur-
dens of each, is very different pov
erty, different in influence and effect
from that conscious and humiliating
indulgence which is every day forced to
contrast itself with neighboring wealth
on which it feels a sense of grinding
dependence. The poverty of the
frontier is indeed no poverty. 1t is
but the beginning of wealth, and has
the boundless possibilities of the future
always opening before it.-Blainc.
