THE SOLDIERS CLAIMS.
Marion County Veterans Appoint Delegates to
Represent Them at the State Meeting.

Iron Our Sand3y EdHton.I
The meeting of soldiers, yesterday afternoon,
in Judge Howe's courtroom, was called to select
delegates to the State convention of soldiers, to
be held in this city, on the 10th instant. The
question of pensions for all who served in the
army daring the civil war is to be sgitated, and
the convention named is to give it force by what
ever action is deemed advisable C. A. Whit
sett presided, and ]. B. Walker acted as secre-
tary Mr. Whitsett said that he did not sympa-
thize entirely with giving pensions to every
soldier He was not injured in the army, and did
not want the government to put him on the pen
sion roll If sound and healthy men were thus
rated, it would tend to keep down the pensions
of those who, on account of wounds and dlsabili-
ties. ought to receive them At the same time,
he did not feel like opposing the object Of the
meeting. However. he suggested that soms one
more in accord With what is desired should be
rallied to the chair. The meeting insisted on his
presiding.
The following delegates were chosen to repre-
sent the Indianapolis and Marion county SOL

But few who purchase Pianos realize the
importance of having them tuned regularly
and of having this work done by experienced
and reliable men. A Piano, unless properly
looked after, will deteriorate and develop a
metallic tone, and will fall SO far below the
proper pitch as to seriously depreciate it's
value. The action also requires occasional
regulating if it's best performance and dura-
bility are desired. In order that our friendsi
and customers may have their work properly
done we keep corps of frst-class tuners and
repairers for our city work, and will send them
to points outside the city whenever sufficient
amount of work is guaranteed to justify the
trip. We give immediate attention to all orr
ders, and guarantee satisfaction.

Organs made without charge. Telephone AIS.

KOHALA NOTES.

The dead body of Chinaman was
discovered on Friday morning hang
ing to the flume of the Star Mill,
close to Mr.. George Halls butcher
shop, Kapaau. The rope by which
he was suspended was taken from
the Verandah of Mr.. Halls shop.
There is suspicion of foul play.
All our law officials being away
attending the court at Waimea, it
became a serious question as to
whether the body ought to be cut
down. However, late in the day
the body was removed to the Court
House where, if the remains are not
too far gone, it will be sat upon by
our police magistrate and jury on
Monday, upon which date return
from Waimea is expected,
This little incident proves that legal
positions, functions and laws are
practically suspended at the pleasure
or caprice of officials, as Kohala has
been week without judge or his
deputy, or deputy Sheriff.. No
complaint is intended against any of
these officials. Personally they are
said to be the best set we have ever
had, but it is the system that per-
mits such neglect that is condemned.
Most of the Mills are shut down
for Improvement and repairs, and
carpenters are busy, and more could
find work.
We are having few days of
south wind, the much disliked Kona,
and the consequence is intense heat.
Lumber is getting cheap through
the competition between Mr.. Dias,
who is landing cargoes at Multi, and
Messrs. Wilder & Co.. at Mahukona.
Consequently building is likely to go
ahead.

OPIUM IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Unexpected publicity having been
given to an extract from private
letter received by me in regard to
the use of opium by the pupils of
Government school," it is due the
principals of our public schools that
the facts be known.
On Wednesday evening last in
connection with suggestive paper
on ''The Present Condition of the
Hawaiians," read by Judge Judd at
the Fort-street Church prayer meet
ing, the question of the use of opium
by Hawaiians was raised, and in
hat connection / mentioned the fact
that in letter which l had received
t'from one of the oldest missionaries
now resident in the islands, man
in position to know the facts and in
whose word l had unbounded con-
tidence-the amazing statement was
made that a large number of chill
dren in certain Government school
were already debauchcd by opium"
1t will not appear strange, of course,
not having the letter before me, and
having no previous intention of using
the statement, but making it on the
spur of the moment, if failed to
recall the exact language used by
my correspondent. / now give his
exact words. Urging the necessity
of every one who has the interests of
morals at heart speaking boldly upon
this burning question" he says:
elf you wouldlook upona Govern
ment school with me and see large
proportion above ten (years of age)
going into the opium dens about
them, and there debauching them
selves day and night with the opium
pipe and rum, would it not seem
criminal TO hold ones tongue?'
AS the letter is private one L
have no right to give the authors
name to the public; but justice to
the schools of Honolulu demands
that l say that the writer is not
resident of this island, and hence
none of our city schools are meant.
l do not understand my CORE
spondent to intimate, neither do /
believe, that the principal of the
schoolnearhis home isresponsiblefor
or connives at the use of opium by
the school children under his charge:
the indulgence is in the "opium
dens" and not during school hours,
and is undoubtedly beyond the con-
| troll of either the PRINCIPAL of the
school or the Board of Education.
AT the request of the Secretary of
the Board of Education shall write
my correspondent for all the facts
in the case, and if the principal or
teachers are in any way responsible,
l am assured that a full and thor
ough investigation will be made. 1
remain, yours with regard,

KAUAI NOTES.

The Jas. Makee arrived on We'd
nesday morning, but brought no
mail, except for Kappa and that
side of the Island, and much disap-
pointment was felt by the residents
of Lihue and Koloa, because they
had to wait until Thursday for the
news.
There have been several showers
during the week, which eliminated
in severe rain storm on Wednes-
day night. The wind blew little
gale, and all night long, lurid
flashes of lightning were visible in
the northern sky, and the thunder
rolled. The rain continued all day
Thursday.
Mr.. Bishop and family, after an
absence of two months, returned
home this week. Mr.. Bishops trip
to the Coast has benefited him
greatly. He is much improved in
health and appearance.
Mrs. S. M. Wilcox, who has been
in Honolulu more than two weeks,
has come back. She enjoyed her
stay in the capital very much.
Mr.. Hackfeld came down on a
visit to Captain Ahlborn, and will
stay long enough to make a trip
around part of the Island.
Mr.. Hahn, the genial Captain s
father-in-law, returns to Honolulu
this week, where he intends remain
ing until after the Royal Birthday
festivities.
People are little curious to
know as to whether the Inter-Island
Steamship Co. will reduce the
steamer fare, during the time of the
Jubilee in Honolulu. 1t would I'M
doubtedly be TO their advantage if
they issued excursion tickets at low
rates, for the expense of travelling
to Honolulu deters many from
going.
The new steam pillow, set up by
Mr.. T. G. Zschernitz, on the Lihue
Plantation, is said to be working
well. Ten acres on good land, and
about six acres on rough land, is
given as the usual days blowing.

To Flavor Mutton.

The superior favor of Welsh, HIGHLAND or
Southdown mutton is, no doubt owing &c
the aromatic plants which abound among
the pasturage of those hills, and on which the
sheep feed. Many hills in Wales are thickly
covered with wild thyme. Is many in the
Highlands are with lady's mantle and
other aromatics which are seldom, if ever,
met with in our Southdown pastures This
is hint of natures own giving, which the
farmer who goes in for meat raising or
dairying in these times of hard competition
cannot afford to despise. The aromatic
may be less nutritious than clover or rye
grass; but they are just as needful to the
formation of a perfecs pas.urage as the
other varieties of pants. To this extent,
therefore, they should be grown in all
pastures They are easy to cultivate, and
VII grow in toe worst soils; but some, of
course. are better adaDted &c tain soils
than others. For instance, parsley, lovage,
cummin. coriander, caraway, angelica and
will fennel etc. delight in loamy soils,
wild thyme. rock rose. hysso.. sage savory
and hoarhoupd, etc. in dry, poor soils; pep
permint. etc., In moist soili There are
many other sorts which might be found to
answer even bet er; all of than obtainable,
and all of them are easily propagated by

Who Is 1t That Settles Fashions4

There is one thing which it is difficult to
comprehend. Who settles the fashionsf
Who invents themr Upon whose ipse
diXit are they established 80 firmly that
everybody who is any body must bow down
to them? You never hear of a convention
of matters to deliberate upon the spring
style of hats, whether it shall be of this
form or that. Suddenly, as if by miracle,
it appears in the shops, and everybody
puts it on-that is, all who care for the
good opinion of their fellow creatures.
The old hat may or may not be worn out,
but it is sternly deposed, whatever its con-
dition, and its successor elevated to the
crown.
1t is so with so many other things. BY
what authority were boots so peremptorily
declared questionable? Who was it said
white waistcoats should no longer be
worn? How came tail coats to be forbid
den except for evening wear? Who is i
enacts that shoes shall sometimes be
pointed and sometimes square-tOed? Who
banished white stockings and substituted
black ones? Alas! we know not. We
obey hidden dictator. We surrender at
discretion to some power, we know not OF
whom, nor what it is. We only do as we
are bid, and are only too happy to be ODE
dent. The change is not an improvement;
if it were we should abide by it, which is
the last thing we expect to do. All we can
say is that we would not be thought singu.
lar, and that we are under sort OF moral
obligation to do as other men do.-Charles
