Fighting Ike's BATTLES.

"Had to dot, you know, " he explained
as he came around the postofice corner
with a bloody nose and two deep
scratches on his chin.
"You have been ighting," said the
policeman. =
"Yes, but I was driv' to it. Big jim
was goin' to lick Little Ike"
"What was that to you?"
"Lots. likes brother died 'tothcr day,
and Ike is in mourning. How's a bow
goin' to fight wcen he's thinkin' of his
dead brother and graves and bein' buried2
He can't do it. Pluck's all gone, you see.
Can't get his mad up to save his neck.''
"And what did you dow
"Took Ike's place, you know. Big Jim
said it didn't make no difference to him,
considerin' the circumstance, who he
licked, and so 1 went in. Ike offered me
two cents and u banana, but 1 didn't take
'em."
And how did the fight come out2r
81 got away with Jim. He's licked me
ten times, but this time I got to thinkin'
of Ikc's poor brother an I fetched Jim a
winder on the ear. Then I thought OF
Ike's having to sleep alone, and knocked
Jlm's nose sideways. He rushed in on
me, but I thought of Ike's mother feelin,
so bad, and I gave Jim a kick which
doubled him up and made him boiler

"Where's Ike now?"
"There he is across the street. Hi there,

caused strangulation till life was extinct.
The word ''pulpit," like "fcrryboat"

the Bible. It was Ezra who was in the
pulpit.
A wonderful Chinese boy is mentioned

Shrove Tuesday, which is the day pre-
ceding the beginning of Lent, was for
mcrly devoted to fcasting and merriment,
but whence originated the custom of cat
ing pancakes on that day is still a mat

times gone by a season of such mirth that
''shroving," or "to shrove," signified to
be merry.
The people of the Congo have no con-
ccption of a God of any kind, and wor-
ship nothing. They believe in charms to
keep off all evils. They do not believe
in sickness or death as natural, and seek
out the cause when any one dies or is
taken i'll. Many persons arc thus killed
in punishment, and were it not for this
the populace would increase very rapidly.
The largest circus in Paris
dates only 1000 people, while one in an

with $500 wild animals, and one Probus
got up a free fight between 1000 wild
bears, 1000 stays, 1000 rams and 1000 os-

gallerics-thc gods-had the right to
shoot arrows and j~avclins into the melee.
The Doric shaft, with it's characteristic
diminution and channcllings, was known
in Egypt more Than a thousand years be-
fore its introduction into Greece, MS is
proved by the monuments of Benz Hassan.
Commercial relations had existed be-
tween the two countries for centuries, and
it cannot be assumed that the Greeks
had not seen Egyptian works of archi
lecture; they could not have arrived at
precisely the same results by Independent
invention.

Looks Like tho Egyptian Sphinx.

A correspondent writes to the Star of
Washington that in North Carolina there
is a mountain formation very closely re-
scmbling the Sphinx. It is called the
pilot Knob" and is in Surry county, in
the northwestern part of the state, just
cast OF the Blue Ridge; its position,
prone ON the Piedmont plain, like a
gigantic lion; its body at right angles
to the prccipitous ridge, md with head
reared aloft, as if in the act Of rising.
The head is of solid rock, several hun
drcd feet i'll height. The shoulders and
breast are finely proportional, and at the
distance Of = few miles it looks like a
thing of life and intelligence. It rises
about ff,"en hundred feet above the
plain. II is seen al the distance of fifty
miles, but IS vet no railroad approaches

SATURDAY. AUGUST 2s. 1886.
NOTICE SHOULD BE GIVEN.

The temporary stopping of peo-
ple's water supply without previous
notice is n censurable practice, and
one that our water department is
apparently given to. Complaints of
this nature frequently reach us from
different suburban localities. A
telephone despatch from Leleo this
forenoon conveyed the information
that the people of that neighborhood
were without water, aud as they had
not been previously notified, they
were seriously inconvenienced by the
stoppage of supplies. An hour or
two's warning would have enabled
them to have provided against the
drought. We can understand that
an occasional turning off of water
is necessary, in order to effect re-
pairs, etc. But it is an easy, and
not costly, matter to give people
notice beforehand. There may he
occasional urgent emergencies when
notification is not practicable. In
such cases the department is not
culpable. AS Il rule, there is nothing
but thoughtlessness or disinclination
to prevent the desired notice.
Posters stuck up in the locality
affected is probably the most effec-
tual method. Expense can be
lessened by having sheets printed in
quantity, with blanks TO fill in when
needed. Anyhow, it is the duty Of
the water department to give proper
notice to those concerned before
stopping supplies, whatever method
may be deemed best.
A complaint has also been prefer
red by people residing on upper
Punchbowl street, above Emma
street, that they can get no water at
all during the daytime. Quite a
population has recently sprung up
in this locality, and its need of water
is no less than that of longer settled
parts. Being at a high elevation,
there is probably not pressure enough
in the main pipes TO force the water
so far up, while the entire city be-
low is drawing it off. But if the
Government is unable at present to
furnish these people with full
supply, day as well as night, they
(these people) should not be re-
quired to pay full rates. 1t is un'
just to exact payment without any
equivalent.

Bay of Fundy, the 31st of July, for

long, so feet wide, 35 feet deep,
contains about 100000 superficial
feet of timber, and weighs about

5000, 900 if they took it. There was
no country in the world that had
such an efficient steamship service
for so small a cost.
Rep. Dole was member of the
committee, but could not recon-
mend the payment Of this subsidy,
because Mr.. Spreckels offered to
accept less. The hon, member for
Hilo said Mr.. Spreckels had chang
ed his mind, but what had the house
to do with that. Were they to watch
Mr.. Spreckels' mind as they would
watch Il barometer! If they paid a
thousand dollars Il round trip they
would never lose the service. The
freight paid so well that Mr.. Sprecll-
els was able TO subsidize the other
company not TO take any freight
from Honolulu.
Rep. Keau was in favor of S 300,
on the condition that the freight on
bananas be reduced from Is to 80
cents per bunch, as prayed for in a
petition.
Rep. Kaunamano said he had a
good deal to say on the matter, but
as it was getting late he moved the
house adjourn to 10 O'Clock Friday
morning.
The motion carried and the house
adjourned at 8 O'clock.

Are you in favor of increasing the

WANT TO KEEP 1T.

The new convict scheme advo.
Gated by some of the Democratic
politicians is for the State to go into
the railroad business, and build
road from Bristol to Nashville. The
politicians are like the old maid
who prayed for a husband, and
who said in answer to the far off
boot of an owl, "Who? Who? Any
body, Lord" So with these men
who desire to have their fingers in
the public treasury Of the State. 1t
is anything to keep up the convict
lease system, by which they can
make money.
This convict question is hard
question to dispose of. The best
way we know of, and the easiest
one to settle the problem for the
future, is some policy that will re-
duce the number of cOnvicts. How
can this be done? The only way
is to drive the liquor traffic out of
the State, as it makes nine out of
ten of all the cOnvicts in our
prisons. Let the laboring men and
taxpayers think about this and
they will soon see that they can
dispose of this infamous system
themselves, by driving out the
liquor traffic. This system not on
ly deprives laboring men of the
legitimate work of the State, but
it pays a host of Officials and con-
tractors large sums of money.

form say: "That laws for the sup
preston of intemperance were en-
acted as a part of the general legis-
lation of our State in obedience to
the will of the majority; that we
behold with alarm the continued
efforts of the Democratic party of
Iowa to encourage resistance to
these laws and to inflame the pas
sions of the lawless classes in regard
to them, thereby menacing local
older and leading to the perpetra-
ton of murder and other outrages.
While fully recognizing the right
of the people to agitate the repeal
of these or any other laws which
time may prove Intellectual for the
benefcent purpose of their enact
ment, we insist that these laws and
all other laws of this State shall be
faithfully and fearlessly enforced"
The Republicans of Iowa stand by
the action of the people boldly and
fearlessly for prohibition. We are
highly pleased to see the party do
-
that. Now, if the Democrats of
that State would do the same
thing, the trouble would be dispos-
ed of.
