FRIDAY
CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Mr.. Gibson's opposition Ito the Pearl
Harbor cession schemel through the
''Nuhou" was engaged and paid for by the
late Mr.. Ward and other gentlemen
Gazette, January 18th.
This is entirely untrue. Mr.. Gibson
never received from Mr.. Ward or any
one else any pay, bonus or compensation
in any shape whatever for his opposition
to the Pearl Harbor cession scheme.
The false statement has reference to the
following facts which are proper to be
mentioned in this connection: Mr.. Glib
son had issued first volume of the
''Nuhou," commencing February 20,
1873, and closing May %, 1873, when he
spoke to his friends about the heavy bur
den upon his means at that time in pub
fishing paper against which there was
an influential political combination,
which almost excluded the paper from
any advertising patronage whatever.
Mr.. c. p. Ward then proposed small
loan, and he, with eleven other gentle
men, loaned Mr.. Gibson one thousand
dollars in sums of 500 and $50 each, to
enable him to continue with more ease
the publication of his paper. He give
his notes to the several gentlemeRf, most
OF whom are now residing ipd@the city, for
the amounts loaned, .aR1d all of these
notes were duly paid in full.

Does it rot occur to Mr.. Carter that this
is very like sneaking out of an unpleas
ant position. There is only one way OF
making amends for the offense which he
committed, but Mr.. Carter has not
chosen to take it. On the contrary, he
saws that his allusion to the private
misfortunes of a well-known ali of high
rank "was not made with any improper
feeling on his part" and then fortifies
his bad taste by declaring that it "does
not seem to others to have been SO alto
gether out of place as the ADVERTISER
writer deems it to be-" We are sorry
for the sake of "the others" that they APP
prove what Mr.. Carter must in his own Sc
cret thoughts condemn. With regard to
our frequent reference to Colonel Spreck-
els. a moment sreflection would show him
his error. But Mr.. Carter does not re-

began its campaign by abuse and mis-
representation of Colonel Spreckels. He
knows that every speech made by OppO-
sition candidates, and almost every
article published in Opposition news
papers, is full of abuse of Colonel Spreck
els, and displays concerted effort to in
lure his reputation as a citizen and i'm

A Ball In Rhodes.


A ball in Greek house in Rhodes is
a thing forever to be remembered. The
dresses of the ladies would provoke
smile from even the most Indifferent
beholder. Round dances are not much
appreciated, but what they really love
is spe les of romping quadrille, with
most complicated figures, through
which a master of the ceremonies puts
you in villainous French. On one occa-
sion this official insisted on dirc ting US
to dance a variety of the ladys chain,
which he called 'ehaine de ohevaliers, "
and which my partner naively remarked
was excusable in place which is every
where haunted by "reminiscences of the
knights of Rhodes.
When the romp was over we con-
Quoted our partners to the smoking
room, where the chaperOnes were sit
ting smoking cigarettes, and where the
air was dense with the fumes of to-
bacco. l noticed that the younger
ladies did not venture on the entire
control of cigarette themselves, but
pressed their partners to do so, with
view to enjoying an occasional pull.
Supper was provided on the most primi-
tive principles-a large dish of timed
lobster salad was put on table, round
which every one crowded; those who
were not lucky enough to secure a
knife did not hesitate to plunge their
fingers into the tempting dish
The Invention of Chess.
lChcago Herald.
The Hindoos say that chess was the
invention of an astronomer who flour.
ished several thousand years ago, and
who was possessed of supernatural
knowledge and acuteness. The reeks
claim that it was the invention of Pala-
medes to begile the tedium of the siege
of Troy. The Arab legend is that it
was devised for the instruction of a
young despot by his tutor, learned
Brahmin, to teach the youth how a
king was dependent upon his subjects
for safety.

mir. J. o. Carter did US the honor to
reply to our allusion to his Kaumakapili
Church speech in letter published by
the ssBulletin'' The point Of his letter
was to show our ignorance of national
finance and his own intimate knowledge
of the subject. Unfortunately for him
self, however, he displayed his own ig-
norance and thereby emphasized the
Justice of our previous remarks. We
said that his speech was as full of error as
an egg is full of meat, and with truth the
same may be said of his letter so far as
it deals with facts.

Mr. Carter asks why it is that the Gov
eminent, IF it's credit is as sound as the
ADvERTIsER believes, with assets worth
five times the amount of the present ma
tionaI debt, and other Governments Dor
rowing at per cent, does not sell its
per cent bonds and take up the per
cent bonds" considerable sum of
which, he alleges, has been illegally ex-
tended. "This simple method of reduc-
ing the interest on the national debt
would suggest itself to the merest novice
in finance" Mr.. Carter adds. And 80 it
might were It feasible. But inasmuch as
the Government has no per cent bonds
for sale, how in the name OF Carterlan
finance could it sell them? The point Of
MIR. Carriers criticism, if we may be per-
mitted to inlprovise an "Irish bull, is
pointless. It is like the other weapons
with which the Opposition has attacked
the Administration-ab worth

Again Mr.. J. o. Carter says: at must
seem strange to the readers of the ADvER-
TrsER that persons would send money
out of this Kingdom seeking investment
at 5 and per cent interest because they
could not get u per cent here, and at
the same time the Government has
hawked It's per cent, free of taxes
bonds, about our streets" And SO 1t
would indeed were it true, as Mr.. Carter
states; but the readers of the ADvER-
User know better. They understand the
condition OF national finance and public
credit infinitely better than Mr.. Carter
seems to do. And yet this gentleman
is the financial hope of athe OPP
position-the Hawaiian Gladstone who
is to restore public credit, give conf
dence to the money lenders, rehabilltate

ourselves. Mr.. Carter defends his allu-

terms: GAS a retort 1 may be per-

some others, to be in bad taste to be SO

H..nscns in fsasstan school.

Prof N J. Bystroff has examined 7,47S
boys and girls in the st. Petersburg
schools during the last five years, and
found headache IN sss, that is 11.6 per cent.
He states that the percentage of headaches
increases almost in a direct progression
with the age of the children, as well as with
the number Of hours occupied by them
for mental labor; thus, while headaches
occurred in only per cent. Of the child
rem aged s, il attacked from % to 40 per

The author argues that an essential
cause Of obstinate headache In school
children is the excess i've mental strain
enforced by the present educational pro
gramme, which leaves out Of COnsidera-
ton the peculiarities Of the child's ma
ture and the elementary principles Of sci
entt1c hygiene. The overstrain brings
about an Increased irrtability Of the
brain, and consecutive disturbances in
the cerebral circulation. Prof. Bystrof
emphatically insists on the imperative
necessity for permanently admitting med
zeal men to conferences of school boards.

An Eastport, Me, engineer has been in
the habit of using a novel continuance to
loose keys and wedges on large pieces of
machinery in steamboats, when the space
around the machinery was too contracted
to work with ease. He made a small
mortar, carrying an elongated bolt, which
struck the key head without entirely
leaving the gun, which was perforated at
the sides, well forward, with holes through
which, after the bolt had passed. the

In the partially-settled territory of
Linculn county, recently an elderly
lady was returning from the residence
of a neighbor to her own home. At
a certain point there were two paths,
diverging in different direction. Ac-
cidentally she took the wrong path
and did not discover her error until
she had proceeded long way. She
thought she would continue on, cross
through the thicket and find the right
path, when, CHANGING to look behind
her, she saw an animal following her.
At the same instant howl went up
which was answered from various parts
of the forest. The truth flashed upon
her. Wolves! In one hand she car
ried pail; in the other hand bag in
which was a pumpkin. Dropping
these she ran for her life. In the dis
tance she saw shanty. Approaching
it she discovered that it was desert ed

A Christmas Cantata.

Members of the Congregational
Church choir and Sabbath School pre-
sented successful rendition of "Santa
Claus Home or the Christmas Excur-
sion" December the Doth A large
audience greeted them. The parti-
cipauts took their parts exceedingly
we'll and presented creditable enter
tainment. f. J. Wood as superinten-
dent continues to show marked ability
as a leader carrying on such an
entertainment to a successful issue.
G. H. Slocum, as Santa Claus. and
Tillie Spafford, as Frost Queen, were
both appropriately and nicely dressed
and were good representations of the
characters indicated.
The duet and quartette singing by
Messrs. Wood and Slocum and Misses
Winnie Rablin, Laura Reeves, Laura
Voyer, Ella Parrish and Tillie Spaford
in different scenes in the cantata were
excellent, especially the duet by Frost
Queen and Snow Flake, entitled
"Silver Bells are Pealing."
Miss Laura Reeves, in the cradle
act. with little Jessie Kells as baby,
was apparently right at home judging
from the ease and gracefulness in
which she handled the baby and laid
her in the cradle. The song entitled
"Bye o. was beautifully rendered and
highly appreciated by the audience.
Santa Claus Home was accurately
represented by temporary frame struc-
ture erected on the stage nicely paper
ed and trimmed giving it a cheerful
and gay appearance. On the front
side there was an opening surrounded
with gilt paper to represent the
frame of picture. In that house and
facing this opening sat Miss Eva
Crawford, as Minerva, who answered d
Santa Claus many questions and sang
for the entertainment Of ''Santa S"
visitors.
The entertainment taken as whole
was excellent and we'll rendered. The
receipts were $81. out Of which the
society netted $50.
