Daily Honolulu press. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1886, 1885-09-14

This standard American magazine
for the month Of September is GER
tainly an entertaining and instructive
number The first article contains a
series of papers written by different
hands on the great coming political
problem of the United States, viz !:
"Shall our National Banking System be
Abolished ?" 1t is a question upon
which political parties have already
taken sides in the Great Republic, and
its solution will doubtless affect the
present tendencies Of the banking sys-
TENS of the world. Whatever the results
may be there is no doubt about the
present existing evils of the National
Banking System of America. The
present system is the fungus growth of
political exigency "Ouida," the novel
ist, who is generally condemned with
out a hearing, but who is generally
right, nevertheless, in her estimates of
both men and literature, contributes an
article, thoughtful at least, on the "Ten-
denotes of English Fiction" Mr.. John
r. French writes most entertaining
"Reminiscences of Famous Americans.
Among these famous Americans may
be mentioned Yates, Grant, Burnside,
Wilson, Foster, Adams, Phillips, Ran
som, Davis, Thurman, Garret Davis,
Mcclellan, Lincoln, Scott and others.
Mr.. r. Heber Newton has an article
on the Decay Of Ecclesiasticism'
which is well worthy of the closest at
tention. One OF the logical distinctions
which the writer makes is between
ecclesiasticism and true religion Il. e,)
between religion and forms Of religion.
Mrs. f. Stuart Phelps contributes
an article on "The Great Psychical
Opportunity" The most interesting
article for the general reader, perhaps,
is written by Woods Pasha on "Naval
Tactics of the Future" "Grant's
Memorial: What shall it be ?" is dis
cussed by different writer's in short arti-
cles and the usual chapter Of comments
closes the number. For sale by ]. M.

HAwArIAx SPORTS.

There is, perhaps,.no other out of the
way place the size Of Honolulu where
SO much general interest is taken in
sporting matters without the entailment
Of the usual abuses which accompany
sporting matters in the larger cities of
Europe and America. The professional
sporting man is almost unknown in
Hawaii yet our young men sustain
a national base ball league, boating
crews and yachts sufficient to get up
yearly regatta that would be credit to
the Pacific Coast, and possess race
stock, some of which is capable of 60
ing with the best young "goers" of the
American turf That our isolation
keeps us clear of the undesirable sport
ing elements Of other places, none will
deny, but this fact does not do away
with the credit due our home sporting
men and lovers of sports in holding up
the standard already established. The
absence of "jobs," "sell outs" " fraud
ulent betting" extensive spool selling"
and other abuses of legitimate sports,
has brought about such healthy state
of affairs generally in the community
that all the best classes of our citizens
feel that they can, with the strictest
propriety, attend Hawaiian sports.
This our citizens do In the cities of
America and Europe it is well known
fact that in most cases only certain
classes of people attend the sports Of
the season. In Hawaii spectator will
be struck with the family-circle appear
ance of the concourses of people who
attrnd our horse rssrss, rirIr rr-ysr, AZ arri
our base ball games. 1t is greatly to
our credit that these things can be
truthfully said But not only do our
citizens give our sports the prestige of
their presence the money that is
needed for carrying on these sports,
which, in other places, is generally
raised by questionable means, is SUBJ
scribed in Hawaii by those participate
ing and by the public generally. AS
a result of this system of keeping up
our sports we are gradually developing
our sporting capabilities until even
now, without the professional disability,
we could compete creditably with the
sporting world Of the Pacific Coast in
many things For instance, Hawaii
could send four or six-oared boating
crew to California who would make it |
very warm for the crack oarsmen of
San Francisco, and it would not be
much of surprise if they came home
with the championship OF the Pacific |
Coast under their belts. The boating
season for 1856 is now upon us and
it behooves us to give all the aid we
can to make this, the finest of our
national sports, success.

Preparing for Wheat.

Where the soil is lacking in fertility
the best way to apply manure is top
dressing after blowing. A single coat
of manure thus applied has raised the
yield per acre from twenty bushels on
unmanured parts to twenty eight bush =
els on manured parts, in the following
crop. The gains to single field or more
at this rate can easily be reckoned, and
the figures will afford all the argument
needed in favor of manuring as many
acres as possible. The finer and older
the manure is for this purpose the bet
ter; pains should be taken to divide il
carefully in spreading and afterward
with harrow. That the wheels of the
manure wagon need not harden the plow-
ed ground, for delivering the manure
properly, the work of hauling should be
done while the plowing is going on, or
else, if the lands are narrow, these may
be started across the field wide enough
to accommodate row of manure piles,
which may then be deposited by driving
along side the freshly turned earth.

Some Nicknames.

Of sarcastic nicknames there are scores
of instances in history and biography,
The eminent Doctor Abernethy, of Lonr
don, wrote book called Surgical Oh
servations," and from his invariable
habit of advising his patients to read it,
he became known as Doctor My-BoOk.
Admiral Vernon, because of his wear
ing "Grogram' cloak in bad weather,
was balled "Old Grog." 1t was this same
Admiral Vernon, by the way, who in
stituted the custom of serving out a
mixture of spirits and water to the sea-
men of the royal navy, beverage which
they called "grog," in memory of its or
iginator. Talleyrand, the French states
man, who was famed alike for his wit
and his sarcasm. was at one time Bishop
of Autun, and his many enemies jocu-
larly spoke of him as His Irreverent
Reverence" Lindley Murray, by sim
liar play on words, was facetiouslY CALI
ed the "Ungrammatical Grammarian."
In 1899, few students in the old En-
glish university of Oxford formed
themselves into club, pledged them
selves to closer observance of college
discipline than had prevailed before
that time, and afterward united in works
of practical piety and benevolence.
They were the objects of the unspa
ring ridicule of both students and tn
tors, and were dubbed in derision "The
Holy Club" "Bible Moths" and "Bible
Bigots." But what incensed their law
less fellow students most was their
attention to the rules laid down by the
university authorities; and so, to ex>
press their hatred and contempt. they
called them "Methodists." This name
stuck, and the "club" proved to be the
germ of one of the greatest modern ret
ligious denominations.--H F. Reddall,

New Pension RuliBg.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 26.-The
pension laws provide that soldiers who
have lost leg at hip joint, or an arm at
the shoulder joint in the services of the
country shall be entitled to pensions at
the rate of $3.50 per month. 1t has
been the custom to construe this law
strictly. There are less than dozen
cases on the pension rolls in which the
amputation has taken place exactly
through the joints mentioned. Commits
sioner Black declines to hold to the
strict letter of the law and allows the
full amount Of pension, though the am
putatiOn did not take place at the joints.
He holds that if the amputatiOn is so
near the hip or shoulder as to render the
stump unservieeable, the pensioner is
entitled to the same compensation as if
no stump were left. This rule will ap-
ply to considerable number of pension
ers who have been receiving pay at a
lower rate,

DURING eight centuries" says cor
respondent of Nature, zones direct an
cestors amount to far greater number
than would at first be contemplated.
Taking three generation. to century,
one has father and mother (2), grand
parents (0, great grandparents (S.) At
the end of the second century the num-
ber of ancestors spring to "a. Following
the calculation. you will find that at the
end of eight centuries one is descended
from no less than 100000 ancestors.
Intermarriage, of course, would reduce
this estimate, and there is no doubt it
must have largely prevailed. But the
figures are so enormous that, in spite of
all, venture to suggest that the words,
All ye are BRETHREN are, in fact, liter
ally true"

DESPONDENCY.

Do not despond the same blue sky
Is bending over all;
And He who gives the stars their bounds
Still notes the sparrows fall,
Dc storms encompass thee, and clouds
Linger around thy way?
Take heart; these darksome hours per-
chance,
Will usher in the day.
Do not despond; life is too short
To waste in grief and gloom,
And he who nObly breasts the waves,
Will find the harbor soon.
Fain would l cheer thy fainting heart,
And calm thy anxious fears
But o, the tender comfort given,
Is woven with my tears.
How strange, oftimes the secret springs
Assuaging sorrows dart,
Is that sweet sympathy can bring
To bless the aching heart.
Look up; through seeming doubt and
mist
Thy spirits joy enshrouds,
There still is beaming bright for thee
"a light beyond the Clouds"

ONE of the richest women in Denver
is Mrs. Bishop Warren, of whom so much
has been written since her marriage with
the handsome and gifted Methodist
preacher. Many years ago this lady went
to Denver poor, hard working sewing
girl. Her face was her fortune, for as
she bravely piled her trade she was
wooed and won by one Iliff, miner. and
when he finally died he left her a for
tune of several million dollars. Mrs.
1liff was devout Methodist, and Den
yer gossips tell that Bishop Simpson sent
Bishop Warren to that city on purpose
to marry the millionaire widow. Their
wedding was popular one, every Meth
odist in Denver being invited.

AT GRANTS TOMB.
Scenes and Incidents Noted in the
Park at Riverside.

An old man was trudging up the hill
VIXEN an old woman went across his path.
The man wore the badge of Grand
Army veteran; the woman faded dress
and a worn bonnet of demure pattern.
The veteran, as was said, was old, and
this was no doubt the reason of his i'll
temper when he said, What do women
want here? Why are you in my path ?
l fought under him and want to see how
they buried him."
The old lady moved aside and said,
$50 on, you should go first. Inever saw
him when he was alive, but had hus-
band like you. and a son bigger and
stronger, and they died with him"
The old lady stood very still. and the
rain fell on her and the veteran, but the
old man had some of the spirit of the
war days in him, and, taking her by the
arm, he led her up to the hill and SAID,
when the stretch of greensward and the
tomb came in view. you go irst-you
have better right than l have"
And there was another woman who
came up the hill when the rain was driv-
ing through the trees. She led a child
by the hand. The child carried bunch
of flowers. The woman brought him to
the barred gate of the tomb and said:
Throw them in there, my boy; he's the
great General your father used to tell
you of just before he died."
All day long such men and such wo-
men and children visited General Grants
tomb. They didn't mind the rain, but
stood looking at the barred doors in ST.
lent awe. Many people came up from
the river banks through the tangled
greenery, and one. the most conspicuous,
was an old man. He had short, stout
piece of wood in his hand. At the tomb
he took out a jack>knife and whitfield a
piece off carefully and threw it to the
grave.
What does that mean ?" some one in+
quired
"This," the stranger answered, "that

AN exchange says that to get the full

is spread should be inserted in the mouth
buttered side down. The fact that the
buttered side up is the general custom
