At intervals of few years, the Brazil
ian colony of Lourenco suffers from a re-
markable visitation of field mice, the latest
of which, in 1876, has just been described
DIR. H. Won hiring These creatures, ordin-
arily not numerous, appeared in enormous
quantities, and in n few days destroyed
the fields of corn, potatoes, clover, oats,
barley, gourds, pumpkins, and even weeds,
actually damaging houses to considerable
extent and running furniture and cloth
ing,
The periodical occurrences of these
plaques seems to be due to the chief food
supply of the mice, the seeds of the
bamboo grass, which at regular intervals
of six to thirty years. natures over a large
territory, and then disappears. The field
mice increase SO rapidly that, if all the
conditions which keep them in check were
removed, a single pair would bear q
progeny Of 5000 individuals in q single
summer, and every living thing upon the
earth would be consumed in half-dozen
years-Arkansaw Traveller.

A living scorpion is dropped into wide
necked glass bottle, which contains few
drops of olive oil of the finest quality.
More oil is poured on instantly, until the
bottle is filed and the scorpion dead. In
its struggles to free itself it elects all its
poison into the oil, and this poisoned oil
forms sovereign remedy for the sting of
a scorpion. There is no doubt as to its
efficacy, and it is probably remedy which

should estimate there are from 1900 to 10000
acres upon these combined estates all suitable for
the production of sugar cane, besides the large
areas of rice country aud the upands suitable for

divided. irrigated fenced and cultivated under the
programme Of the projected Joint Stock Company,
these properties upon which now only few per-
sons are employed-a population of 10000 or Is 900
industrious cultivators could have profitable en-
ployment and pleasant homes which will immensely
increase the material development of the prosper
ity and riches of those beautiful Islands and King

lieve it will bear favorable comparison with any
other sugar growing company in these Islands or
elsewhere. And should any deficiency be experi-

sentatons are made abroad, investors will soon be
found who will quickly support such an undertak-

The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1886-03-09

The annual meeting of the Hilo district planters
was held at Hakalau, February 18th. Much was
said in favor of Japanese. The japanese Commits
sioner for the district was highly spoken Of as he
had helped the plantations greatly. The new jap
anese physician lately arrived will also be of great
benefit If he acts in as much harmony with the
planters as the Commissioner does.
Now of these two extracts, it is neces-
ary to notice, that the resolutions are au-
noritatiye and signed, while the "letter" is
anonymous. Next the resolutions say
nothing against japanese, per Sc. 1t Is
only with the Immigration Circular that
they deal Now as to the Japanese Com
missioner who was "highly spoken of y
1t is not stated who did speak Of him highly
Whether it was the mere expression OF
one man. or whether it was the unanimous
opinion of the whole There is no reason
why the planters should personally object
to the Japanese Commissioner. He may
have made himself very agreeable, and
have assisted to the utmost of his power
But because he assisted and they express
themselves obliged for the assistance, there
is no reason to build up theory that the
resolutions" of September 1885, have been
eating like humble pie. The resolutions
were protest on a matter Of principle
and are as true to-day as they were II
September. Hawaii then made distinct
step backwards, and the planters were
right to protest. The protest was sc
strong that the Minister of Interior ''ex.
planned away" the political signifcation Of
the Circular of August 10th, and let the
planters clearly understand that the courts
were their appeal in labor troubles. The
Ministry. after the protest and after the
interview with the Committee of the
Planters Labor and Supply Company
backed water-they carefully explained
what was untenable in the original docu
ment. Naturally things have run smoothly
and Just as naturally the members of the
Hilo Planters Society express themselve:
satisfied. They would not have been sat
isfied without the protest.
This. certainly, Is a very fimsy basis tC
build up as an " endorsement Of Govern
ment policy" The very meagerness of the
material shows what desperate straits th'
Government are in, to make any defencr
for their various misdeeds The defenc,
carries Its own condemnation. No one
reading carefully, could be convinced, b.
such a weak. effort to show, that Govern
ment and planters are in thorough accord
They are not and the election showed it
