MUSICAL PRACTICE.

Though the members of the Royal
Hawaiian Band are now enjoying a
well-earned vacation, and their in
struments like the harp in Tara's
Hall, chang mute as though their
souls were dead" Honolulu is not
without music. The Portuguese
Band practice frequently-and with
much vigor-at the club house on
Beretania street. In time the per-
formers in this band will, no doubt,
give us plenty of good music. Just
now they 'make Rome how'll" their
Instrumentation being that of
"sweet bells tangled, out of tune
and harsh" They are no worse,
however, than the Hawaiian Band
was in the time of Kamehameha V,
and we can reasonably hope that
with little more practice they will
give us music as good as the Royal
Band furnishes.

DEVILS OF CHINESE MYTHOLOGY.
Their Return to EartII--BnrnInG sscr;-
fccs-Spiritual Marriage.

Their Return to IcartI,-BnrnIns sscr;-
dccs-Spiritual Marriage.
According TO heather belief tho devils OF
Chinese mythology begin their periodic visits
to this world to-day. They remain hero for
seven days. They bring with them the rola-
tiveS, in spirit form, of the living, and OK
pect good treatment from the latter. Tho
Chinese residents of Pittsburg have made oil
arrangements to give their spiritual guests
warm greeting. At their homes or in public
places they viii offer up burnt sacrifices, con-
sisting of chickens, ducks, pork, fruits, sugar,
nuts, eggs and so forth. The Chinese devils
are usually accredited with being very smart.
and good judges of what constitutes good
sacrifice, and If they discover that mortals
are not offering up the first and best fruits OF
the land, they are apt TO act as tOrmcnting as
only devils can.
The devils come upon tho earth from the
first to the seventh days of every seventh
Chinese month. They are supposed to wear
the same kind of clothing rs is worn by living
Cinnamon, and they depend upon their
periodic visits to earth to get supplied with
the proper outfit. Consequently this week,
besides the sacrifice of the articles above
mentioned, there will DO a general Offering
up of n certain kind of money which is sup
posed to pass as legal tender in tho spiritual
world. This takes the form of paper richly
decorated with gold leaf and Chinese inscrip-
tions, and is about five inches long and wide.
The clothing burned is also richly decorated
with many colOrs. These sacrifices are uSu-
ally burned ut night ON tho seven days Of the
devils visit.
The Chinese have other serious beliefs about
the spiritual world. They think that as soon
as n person dies he goes at once to the next
world. There the immortalS have laws, poll
tics, marriages etc, as well as mortals do on
this earth When man and wife die they ex-
pect 10 be united again hereafter, but when
unmarried persons die their spirits wander
about ON earth until their parents have found
n suitable companion for them in the upper
world. Ii this is not done, the dead persons
evil spirit enters into the heart of tho mortal
whom he loves, and tormentS it TO death
The spiritual marriage among the Chinese Is
usually conducted by women If boy is
dead, his mother looks around to find girl
OF about the same age who can be his spirit
ual mate. Only the fortune teller has tho
right to appoint the day for the marriage. A
priest performs the ceremony. Many prayers
are repeated from morning until night, until
the hour has come. Then the priest calls the
couple, who are represented ON paper, by the
names which they were known by before
death, says many pleasant words, and pro-
nounccs them man and wifc.-Pittsburg

Thomas III. Benton's Last Days.

Having completed his Thirty Years in the

A week before Col. Benton's death he ad-
dressed letter to his Old Tennessee friends,
Senator Houston and Representative Jones, re-
Questing that congress would not notice his de-
parture. There is" he said, mo rule OF either

Mr.. Ross, who was recently nominated
unanimously by the Texas Democratic state
convention for the Office of governor, was
born in Bentonsport, Ind, Sept -, ISIS, but
spent his boyhood and early manhood in
Texas At the age of 10 Le entered the FLOR
ence Wesleyan college, in north Alabama,
where no graduated with honors in the class
of 1855. During his vacation he conceived
the idea of going to the frontier ex
petition against the ComanchCs, who were
committing numerous atrocities on the
settlers. After reaching the scene OF their
operations, his regiment had n bloody en-
gaGcment with the Indians, which resulted in
their defeat An incident OF this expedition
was the rescue of little white girl who had
been for some time held in captivity by the
Indians. Her parents being unknown, Mr..
Ross charged himself with rearing and cdu-
eating the orphan, sending her to a female
seminary where she proved herself in every
way worthy of the care bestowed upon her.
She is now tho wife of n wealthy merchant
of Los Angeles, Cal. While Mr.. Ross was
victorious in the engagement with the
Indians he did not come out unScathcd, being
badly wounded i'll the arm by rifle ball,
and also in the side. In 1859 lie was placed
in command of the frontier by Governor sam
Houston, with sixty men under bis charge.
Having established his post, he proceeded on
another expedition against the Comanches,
and scored n complete victory. At the
breaking out of the late civil war Gen. Ross
resigned his commission and entered the con-
pany of Capt Peter +. Ross as a private.
He participated in 80 engagements, had
seven horses shot under him, and came out
of the war a briSadicr general. In 1Si3 he

INSOMNIA.
Are the American People Be.
coming n Nation of
LunaticS ?
The FrigbtfuI AncrcaSc of Insanity
caused by Nervousness and Sieecp-
leRcssness.


The increase of insanity in America during
tho last tsn years has been more than fifty
percent. The largest and finest public
buildings recently erected have been for the
care of lunatics, and they are all filed to
their fullest capacity. These facts are APP
palling. They show that something must
be done speedily to prevent this increase or
We shall become nation of lunatics. One
of the greatest causes of insanity is loss of
sleep. Physicians say that when persons
fail to sleep for four nights they are on the
verge of insanity. And yet narcotics are
dangerous. II is only when the body is well
that perfect sleep can be secured A com
mittee of physicians, that recently inves-
tigated this subject, found the lack of life
force in the system brought about more
nervousness, more sleeplessness, and more
madness than any other known cause.
With these attested facts before US, we
can easily see that only by adding to the
vital force can health be retained. disease
avoided, and death postponed This can
only be done, however, by the use of a
strong toning power, and for this purpose
nothing has ever equaled Nolina Cordial.
1t is not designed as n cure-all but as a life
giver. II takes the system when il Is at low
ebb and bringsit back to vigor. II prevents
the coming On of debility. Il quiets the
nerves and strengthens the muscles so that
sleep is not only possible but refreshing.
If our people desire their health un-
impaired, in spite of bad water, rnalarial in
fiuences and other health enemies that
surroundt them, they must have some standard
remedy that imparts yigor, while adding
strength. This is q subject which calls for
most serious and immediate attention, and
one that cannot be postponed nor neglected.
The Volina Cordial above referred 10, Is re
Gently discovered medical compound made
into a pleasant tasting Cordial, so pleasant
you hardly imagine you are taking medicine
Since its introduction q marked effect has
been found, by critical observers, upon
those persons who have used it, and it is
absolutely contributing more to check nerv-
business, debility, insomnia, sleeplessness and
insanity than any other known agency. As
such, its value is ineslimable.
