A Most Singular Reptile Which Has Deceptive
Icaf-IiLn Iail

"Therc are some curious cases among the
geckos," said Los Angeles County naturalist
TO a reporter for the San Francisco CAL. Here
is one dead, that is called the leaf-taied gecbo
You see the tail bnlges out soon after leaving
the body and assumes leaf or arrow shape :;
hence the name of the animal. Now, when
the little creature is chased you will it dodge
around limb and hold up the curious leaf
like tail. That is all you can see, and SO,
naturally, would think it a part of the tree
itself Bat this lizard has a more remark able
method of escape yet. We will imagine that
you have tried to pluck the leaf, The animal
drops clumsily to the ground and darts away
among the rocks where il attracts the attention
of some of the hawks that are forever providing
around. Immediately chase ensues; the
hawk gains and is finally about to pounce upon
its prey, when all at once two lizards appear
one making off, while the other dances up and
down into the air and along the ground in
very mysterious way, so that the astonished
bird stops and looks. In the meantime the
original lizard escapes; the other that is really
the tail, soon becomes quiescent. You see the
gecko has the faculty of throwing off its tail
when hard pressed, and while the pursuer's
attention is drawn 10 the squirming member
the animal itself escapes"
But it loses its tail?" suggested the re-
porter.
Only for time. They can reproduce this
organ, and, curiously enough, sometimes two
tails are produced instead Of one"

The Poet Never Tried IL.

"When we were at Tiptonville, in 1862"
says Capt. w. r. Myers, the Secretary of State,
" / was presented with a volume of Byron s
POEMS by Mrs. DIR. Walker, and in the leisure
hours of camp lifeI read poetry TO the company
The poem in which occurs the line, 'Tis sweet

been particularly impressive to the boys and
especially to Capt. Bob Harding, who is now
Deputy Sheriff. In the midst Of an exciting
skirmish down on Red River one day he yelled
across the field to me, Myers, that ID poet
of yours is liar 1t was strange remark TO
yell across the skirmish field at sach time,
and for a moment attracted the attention of
every man in line from the enemy TO Harding.

THIS AND THAT,

The member of the Assembly who
records his EYES SIR" in the loud
est and boldest tone on the out
rageous appropriations of the pco-
pies money which have prevailed,
during the past few days, is one of
the honorable members for Honolulu,
MIR. Lilikalani. The emphatic mali
ner in which the honorable gentle
man registers his approval of these
expenditures, is one thing, and the
fact that he owns no property on
which taxes may be levied to help
supply the treasury, is, of course,
quite different matter.

the FLY NUISANCE.

There is universal drawback to
the enjoyment of eating in all res
taurants. We refer to the flies that
prevade all the tables at eating
houses. They rise and settle on the
end of mans nose whilst he is
trying TO masticate beef steak or
something tougher. 1t does not tend
to increase the appetite or assist d-
gestion. 1t invaribly brings forth a
blessing % on the proprietor's 8
head, or resolution never to enter
the establishment again. Changing
from one to another is of no use
whatever. Flies everywhere, And
we may naturally ask, why should it
be so? Can these winged torturers
not be exterminated from the break
fast and dinner tables? OF course
they can.
Let punkahs be kept going over
the tables and there will be no rest
for the flies. 1t has been tried
here. Surely the warm weather
warrants the use ofpunkahs. Charge
ten cents more for the meal. At
any rate try it and the patrons of
the house that has punkahs and no
flies will be Legion.

AN ERROR CORRECTED.

According to the -Adcerttser MIR.
Kaulukou said in the debate in the
House touching the abolition of taxre-
receipts at elections, the day before
yesterday, that "there hadnever been
anything wrong with the tax receipts
until the Planters Labor and Supply
Company was organized. The
precise meaning is not very clear,
but we presume it to be that the law
requiring the production of tax re-
ceipts at the polls had not been
turned to a corrupt use prior to the
formation of the company named,
or that tax receipts had not, up to
that time, been bought up or other
wise secured by unscrupulous poll
ticians and used for their benefit on
the day of election. If this be the
meaning intended, the Hon. Gentle
man is in error. The AdrertiSer
supports Mr.. Kaulukou, and asserts
that his statement sis notoriously
true" The advertiser knows moth
ing about it. Or if it does, it's pre-
JUDGES are not favorable to truth.
We are too familiar with both the
public and secret history of the past
ten or dozen years to be gulled by
wild assertions, that may pass as
gospel truth among more recent ar
rivals. The trade in tax receipts was
begun prior to the election of eight
years ago, and at that election was
practised pretty extensively here in
Honolulu. Now, the Planters Labor
and Supply Company was not in
existence at that time. TO be sure,
the evil has grown to vastly increased
proportions since the period named,
and reached a gigantic size at the
last election, when tax receipts were
purchased by the score and the
hundred with grog and hard cash.
Public men and public journals can
never gain permanent advantage by
misrepresentation and falsehood.
Truth and candor will secure them
respect and confidence, even of theil
enemies.
