CORRESPONDENCE.

EDITOR DAILY Honolulu Press
Sir: In regard to the item which ap-
peared in the PRESS yesterday morning
concerning my having lively circus
with colt, which ended in myself and
my man being thrown out, | wish to
make correction as the affair was
quite different from the way you stated
it in the paper. In the first place, the
animal was a gentle mare, which was
sent to me because she was bad to
start or inclined to be baulky. | only
pursued my usual course of mounting
her back, which, in nine cases out Of
ten, will start baulky horse. In this
case it had an unusual good effect, for
| no sooner spoke to her than she
Immediately set off, and went laundering
down Queen street, at flying galop,
that would have done credit to Garfield
or Hancock My man (Mr. Dunn,
instead of Mr. McGinnis) being in the
cart holding the lines. sung out to
him not to stop her, but let her go.
When the corner of Alapai street was
reached, l took advantage of the op-
portunity as she was making the turn to
jump from her back into a
huge pile of soft loose rubbish by the
side of the road which rendered an
accident out of the question. | left my
man to steer her as best he might,
which he did most admirably and
after having a nice little run the ami
NAL steadied down and behaved splen-
didly, and has continued to do ever
since This must have been the fright
full accident that your informant thought
he saw. After shaking the dust off
from myself Immediately stepped
over into my breaking lot which is on
the same corner opposite and went to
work on another animal that my other
man (Mr. McGinnis) stood holding
waiting for me to commence operations.
On my jumping from the mares back,
instead of stopping her and getting
down in the usual manner l only did it
to save time as | have SO many horses
on hand to drive that my time is not
my own but my customers, and / am
obliged to avail myself Of every min
ute possible to get through with my
days work, and if any of the readers Of
your valuable paper are ever troubled
with their horses baking, instead Of
whipping them or sending them to me
to have the poetry taken out Of them,
which never fail to do, let them try
my plan of mounting them and l think
that they will be saved all trouble aud
expense as l have never discovered any
remedy equal to it.
Yours Respectfully,
c. b. MILES.

progress OF cholera in the district and
the measures to be adopted to check
it. Among these were the disinfection
Of houses by sulphuric acid, and of
the clothes of the sick and deceased
by immersion in water kept at boiling

Crushed to Death
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 3o--This after
noon George Hersh, who was running
a machine for cutting cold iron in the
railroad shops, got caught between the
wheels and was crushed to death.
Both arms were cut off, and his head
and body frightfully mangled. The re-
mains were taken to the coroners Of
flee, where an inquest will be held to-
morrow The deceased was about
fifty years of age, and had been engaged
in the railroad shops for a number of
years. He leaves a widow and two
sons in this city.
The Asiatic Mails
New YORK, Sept 3o.-The decision
Of the Postmaster-General made pub
lie to-day, to discontinue sending the
Asiatic mails by way Of Europe and
the Suez Canal and restore them to the
route via San Francisco, using the four
steamers of the Occidental and Oriental
line for that purpose, has given rise to
rumors that the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company may withdraw its steam
ers from the China trade. In this
case, it is said, the Pacific Mail steamers
may be available for the Australian
service, touching at the Sandwich Is
lands. 1t is learned on good authority
that the Canadian Government is will
ing to give subsidy to a line OF
British-built ships, provided their
western railway terminus at Puget
Sound is adopted as port Of destina-
tion. A meeting was held yesterday
Of members of the Importers and Gro
GERS Exchange, at which resolutions
were adopted urging the Government
to facilitate rapid and regular mail com
munication with China, Japan and the
East Indies, saying that trade was
already embarrassed by the recent de-
lays in the service. About thirty lead
ing bankers and merchants also signed
circular, which has been forwarded
to the Postmaster-General, urging him
to make some arrangements by which
Eastern mails could be expedited.

Whom only God created"
ELLEN FL. CANTRELL.

In the good old days "before the war;"
when the stout matron Of to-day was de-
mure and dainty maiden, she was taught,
along with water-color painting, jack-in-
the-box curtsies and the manipulation Of
balloon skirts, how to make paper flowers.
Then the art fell into disuse, and as the
girls progressed from their teens to their
forties they put aside their scissors and
tissue paper, and in their place succeeded
hair work, wax flowers, embroidery and
crazy quilts. Now the flowers are bloom
ing again. Old ladies who have net for
gotten how, and girls who are Just learning
and wish to be in the fashion spend their
bright moments in shipping bright colored
tissues and crimping them into roses that
are as gorgeous as painted lilies.
So universal has the craze become that
even high art and Kensington work are
affected by it. Since it became "thc thing"
it has proved a bonanza for the stationery
men, who have doomed the price of tissue
paper from a penny to nickel sheet.
Recently three schools have been establish
ed to furnish instruction in the art. The
products are used to fill baskets for set
prices, trim gas shades and ornament
room in various ways. AS prevalent a way
as any is to utilize them as buttonhole
bouquets and trimming to ball dresses. A
paper daisy ID the lapel Of dress coat is
very lasting, realistic and popular.

The natural water is sulphur, from arte-

After leaving the orange grove, we went
to the old Fort San Marco, finished in the
year 1756,-erected by the Spanish gov
eminent. A block of stone over the
entrance exhibits in alto relievo the Spanish
coat of arms-a globe and cross above and
Maltese cross and lamb below, together
with this inscription: translated from the
Spanish "Don Ferdinand the Sixth, be-
ing King Of Spain, and the Field Marshal,
Don Alonzo Fernando Hereda, being gov
ernor and Captain-General Of this place,

This fort was finished in in the year 1856.
The works were directed by Captain En-
'gineer Don Pedro de Brazos y Garay."
The old Catholic Cathedral stands on
the north side Of the plaza "a small square).
The building was erected in 1893. It is
quite curiosity. Just opposite and facing
it on the other side of the plaza is the
Episcopal church.
The sandy soil, the shabby old buildings,
many going to decay, give the town very
untidy, shabby appearance, though you
wouldn't have it otherwise [ think, for it
does away with modern perfections and
conventionalities and preserves charming
individuality! We finished our morning
ramble with short visit to two-masted
schooner just from Nassau, laden with

and tropical fruits, such as cocoa-nuts with
bulls on, ripe pine apples, etc., banana

sizes, negroes talkingin Spanish accent-al-

of care behind is a great privilege, and the
comparison with past and present-this
unconscious sympathy and reverence which
takes hold Of one in viewing the work Of
busy hands long still, and the aspirations
Of minds as vigorous as those which now
exist, puts one in sort of communion with
the past in its hushed repose, and invites
a feeling of peacefulness, in soothing con-
trast with the jars and chickering's of the
world and fashion.
