A YANKEE TRICK.

n 1NlCh.
A six-foot Yankee, seated upon a load of
brooms, drove his team up before the door
of an establishment where he expected to
find purchaser. Jumping from his seat he
entered the store and the following colloquy
took place:
Yankee-''Can't T sell you load of
brooms to-day, mister?"
Dealer-"No, don't want any"
Yankee-"Better take 'em-,sell 'em dog
cheap"
Dealer-s'Don't want 'em; got enough
brooms."
Yankee-"I'll tell you what I'll do. If
you'll take the whole lot, I'll let 'em 60 for
dollar dozen; you know they're worth
double that"
The dealer stroKed his chin for moment
as if in deep thought and then replied:
"Well, don't want any brooms as I told
you, but don't mind making trade with
you."
Yankee-"What sort of trade?"
Dealer-"Well, I'll take your whole load
at dollar dozen, and pay you one half
cash, you take the other half in trade"
Yankee e-"No you don't, mister! You'll
charge me such an all fired profit on the
other half that might come out at the lit
tie end of the horn"
Dealer-"Oh, no, promise you that you
shall have the goods at just what they cost
me-"
Yankee mister, that's what call
squar' dealin'. It's bargain" And he
commenced to unload the brooms in q pile
on the sidewalk: When he got through he
walked into the store. "There you are,
mister; fourteen dozen, which I calculate
makes just 81 comm to- ne."
Dealer-"Yes, that's right; there's the
money. Now what goods do you want for
the other $7?'
Yankee-"Wall, I dunno-You see, mis-
ter, hain't much posted in your other
truck, 30 I guess I'll take brooms"

A WARNING AGAINST BAD WRITING
Henry Clay, who was neat penman, was
quite an nenthusiast on the subject of plain
handwriting, and was in the habit of telling
a story in point about Cincinnati grocery
man who wanted lot of cranberries and
thought he could get them cheap in little
Kentucky town. To this end he wrote to
customer at the place, requesting him to
send him one hundred bushels of cranber.
ries, per Simmons-the name of his team
ster. The writing was so bad that the par
ty to whom the note was addressed could
not make out the word "cranberries" at all,
but did conclude that his correspondent did
want one hundred bushels of persimmons,
which were at once gathered and forward
ed, much to the disgust of the Cincinnati
man.-Ben Perley Poore.

ENGINEERS DREAD MOONLIGHT NIGHTS.
"Moonlight nights-they are the bane OF
railroad engineers" said head official OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. "All en-
gineers dread moonlight nights. They try
the nerves to their utmost. Engineers like
to run on dark nights. On moonlight
night the trouble with them is no trouble at
all-shadows. An engineer, looking out
from his engine, sees before him all manner
of shadows. He is sure that the dark shad-
ow across the track he sees is man or a
rock, or some kind of an obstruction. He
doesn't know, and he is kept in state of
nervous excitement all the time. Going
around curves, along hillsides, many Gu
rious shadows are outlined on the track,
and very often an engineer is so worked up
over nights ride that he is scarcely able to
perform his duties.

A CAPITAL OF THE EARTH.-A great
and splendid scheme of imperial federation
has been perfected by Henry Wentworth
Monk, M. P, of Ottawa, Canada, says re-
cent dispatch from that city. Mr.. Monk
thinks now he has obviated all possible OBJ
iections to the federation idea. He is at the
head of q company recently formed for the
purpose of buying the territory of Palestine
and establishing there the capital of the
earth. The capital stock of the "New Brit
ish Empire Company" is $4,000, 900, and 1t
is said that 81, 100000 has been subscribed
already. Mr.. Monk, as president, has is
sued prospectus, and next month he will
20 to England to place the stock OF his COM
pany. The names of the President of the
United States and James. G. Blaine, OF
Maine, are attached to the prospectus as
honorary vice presidents, and her Majesty
Queen Victoria is named as patroness.
Mr.. Monk states in his prospectus that Pal
estine is the geographical centre of the
earth as we'll as of population, and ne
thinks that now is the time, foretold in
Isaiah, when the civilized people of the
earth shall cease from warfare and accept
Jerusalem as their capital.
Mr.. Monk says:
Meanwhile, until other nations are pre-
pared to join US, Palestine would be the
most convenient central position for the
capital of the proposed confederation of the
British empire, or for the English-speaking
communities everywhere, for the United
States would doubtless Immediately join us
in such confederation for the sake OF in

BOYS REFORMATORY.

The Reformatory School at Kapalama
IS in many respects successful institu-
ton. 1t would be much more so, how
ever, were the building better adapted
for the purpose than it is; but it is OF
faulty design unfortunately, and the vari-
Gus Superintendent have had difficult
ties to contend with from this cause
which might not otherwise have arisen.
That the institution has been so we'll
managed throughout is creditable to all
concerned; but we think the time has
come when needed improvements
should be made. The number of boys
domiciled at the Reformatory is re-
latively large when compared with the
population, and it is very important to the
maintenance of discipline and the
thorough training of the inmates that
they should be absolutely kept from
communicating with persons outside the
building except under proper super
vision There are undoubtedly juvenile
criminals among the inmates, whose re-
formation will be impossible if they have
means OF intercourse with any OF the
very considerable class of Chinese who
act as receivers OF stolen goods, not a
few OF whom were located in the burnt
sections of the city. This fact alone sug-
gests the necessity for rendering it i'm
possible for these boys to communicate
with the outside in any way. They
should kept as free from the cOntamina-
ton of criminal suggestion as possible.
For the rest, doubtless the report of the
Superintendent will explain what may
he needed in this direction, as well as
giving suggestions upon other points for
the information of the Board of Eduea-
ton, which has the Reforrnatory insti-
tuition in charge The site is healthful
and we'll chosen, and it remains with the

sailors Home society.

On Wednesday morning special meet
ing of the Board of Trustees of the Sailors
Home Society was held at the Home,
Hon G. R. Bishop, the President, in the
chair Thirteen trustees was present.
A verbal report from the Treasurer
showed that he has $1O7 y on hand.
The object of the meeting was then
discussed at length by the trustees. 1t
was as stated by the President, the con-
sideration of the expressed public
opinion that the building now used as a
Home be removed, owing to the risk OF
fire. 1t is in the centre of the city, a
very high building and constructed en-
tirely OF wood.
A committee was appointed to wait on
His Excellency the Minister of the In
terror, to ascertain what the Government
would be disposed to do in behalf of the
Sailors Home Society, provided that the
latter should give up its charter and
transfer it's property to the Government.
The following is the Committee, which
will report at an early meeting: Hons.

horn, S. NJ. Damon, Mr.. F. A. Schaefer

CAPTAIN Bray.

Captain Isaiah Bray, of the mission
airy steam barkentine Morning Star, has
resigned his command, after twenty-five
years of seafaring life. Captain Bray
had command of the old Morning Star
about eight years, being employed by the
American Board of Missions. When the
vessel was wrecked the Captain took a
trip to the States, and helped to collect
money for the present vessel. As soon
as she was launched at Boston, Mass,
he took command of her. 1t has fire.
quently been said that Captain Bray
planned and superintendent the building
of the present vessel. This is not the
case, as we believe the Captain has
never yet seen the contract. The new
vessel is certainly not giving the salts
faction expected of her, and it would be
unfair to couple the name of SO expert
enced seaman as Captain Bray with
her construction.
The Captain intends remaining on the
Islands for short time, and then leaves
for Oakland, or some other part of Cali
fornia, with his family. The officers and
crew have also all resigned The mate
has been with Captain Bray over seven
years, and has been a most faithful off
Ger. 1t was expected that he would
have been promoted to the command,
but it is generally understood that Cap
tain H. n. Turner, of the brigantine W.
H. Irwin, has been appointed to the
vacancy. An entirely new crew will be
shipped. Captain Bray made up his
mind about year ago to leave the
vessel His many friends will wish him
much prosperity in his new sphere.

Accident at KeaIIa, Kauai.

Last Friday evening, just after the
night shift had begun work in the boil
ing-house of the Makee Sugar Co. at
Kealia, Japanese who was employed
on cleaning pan lost his balance while
skimming the juice, and fell into the
tank of boiling liquor. All the lower
part of his body was severely scalded,
and although he received medical assist
ance Immediately the shock proved too
much for him and he died the next
morning about 10 o'clock. AS the side
of the tank is over three feet above the
floor where he was standing the accident
seems almost unaccountable, but it is
probable that while leaning over the
edge of the pan his feet slipped and he
thus lost his balance. The above report
comes by mail without signature, but
the handwriting seems to be that of a
responsible gentleman of the locality.
Messrs. W. G. Irwin & Co., agents OF
the Kealia plantation, have had no word
of the shocking accident.-Bulletin.

THE CAMPoBELLO CONCERTS.

The music-loving people of Honolulu
are now on trial, and not the Campo
bello troupe. The latter have acquitted
themselves with rare merit, and with a
modesty which lends an added grace to
the charms of their highly artistic per-
formance. They have proved them
selves to be worthy of enthusiastic sup
port. Their period of probation has
therefore passed; it now remains for the
professed patrons of music to show their
appreciation, by greeting them with
crowded houses during the remainder of
their short concert season. If this does
not happen let there be an end to the
pretense OF critical discrimination of
good music, and an open avowal that
variety shows and Niger minstrel
troupes are flush with the level of public
taste. We say this with regret, because
we had hoped that after the opening
night, which was rather unfortunately
fixed for Monday, the unanimous YER
dict of all present upon that occasion
would have assured bumper house on
Tuesday. This was not the case, how
ever. There was larger attendance on
Tuesday than on the opening night, but
it was very far short of what it should
have been.
1t should be borne in mind that the
expense attendant upon bringing a COM
pany of first-class musical artists from
the Coast, keeping them here and pay
ing their return passage is very heavy
item. In the case of Signor Campo
bello, he came without guarantee, on
the assurance that if his company pos
sessed merit they would be well and
Loyalty supported. Acting upon this as
surance, he came and tested its sincerity,
but up to the present time he has been
disappointed There remain, however,
several opportunities for making amends,
and we trust, for the sake of the
community at large, that these Occa-
sions will not be neglected. If
Signor Campobello draws full houses
during the remainder of the season
he viii about pay expenses; if he
does not he will lose money. One result
of the latter would inevitably be to de-
ter artists OF reputation and ability from
coming here, leaving the field of amuse-
ments in Honolulu to be exploited by
characterless tramps of the professional
world, thus sensibly lowering the status
and impairing the usefulness OF the con-
cert and dramatic stage

LABOR BOYCOTTING LABOR.

Following our remarks upon the indus
trial situation in the United States In
yesterdays ADVERTISER, it may be OF IN
terest to note one phase Of the recent ap-
plication of the Irish boycott to Ameri-
can labor and industries, more especially
with the view of showing that the boy
colt is double-edged tool, to be handled
skillfully if at all. The influence Of the
boycott has been extended to Washing
ton, and will deprive labor in that CAPT
tai city of at least 81 100000 in wages
this season. Never before since the foun-
dation OF Washington were so many fine
mansions projected, but the boycott upon
the production of building materials has
stopped expenditure in this direction to
the great injury of labor. In Reading,
Pennsylvania, similar state of affairs
exists. Boycotting cost labor over mil
lion dollars in labor on the western rail-
roads last March, without any complaint
az to wages, as the Philadelphia Press"
explains, and it will cost it many hun
dreds of millions in the aggregate by
reason of the limitation it has put upon
all industrial enterprises. at is moder-
ate estimate (the "Press" adds) that fixes
the losses to labor this year, by reason
of the paralysis of industrial enterprise
by labor disturbances, at thousand
millions of dollars. There were mill
ion men idle last year by the general
depression in our productive industries,
and the loss to labor and to the cOnsum-
ing power of the country was not less
than five hundred millions. This year,
when the season opened with increased
confidence that promised the diffusion
of capital into industrial channels and
enlarged employment for labor, labor
has foolishly boycotted itself by driving
all capital out of industrial enterprise
that can get out, and by postponing all
improvements that are not absolutely
INDISPENSABLE Thus has labor bOycotted
fully a thousand millions for 1886, and
when will the confidence so wantonly
DESTROYED be restored and the channels
of industry again send out enlarged de-
| mands for labor?" 1t is the duty of all
intelligent men to discountenance this
suicidal waste OF industrial energy and
capital The United States has built UP
its productive industries by close pro-
tective tariff, mainly through the votes
of the workingmen; and now, to gain
some immaterial point, in most cases
mere misdirected sentiment, the Ameri-
can operatives are destroying the work
of their hands, by enabling the products
of foreign labor to compete in American
markets with the products OF home
labor. To remedy this in time knowl-
edge of the principles and application Of
economic science should be made part Of
the public school course in the States
| Without the dissemination of sound
knowledge of this character the indus
trial fabric of the Great Republic stands
in danger of being wrecked.

The Hama Plantation. Maui.

Col. w. F. Allen, as receiver OF this
plantation, yesterday filed before His
Honor the Chief Justice, his report for
quarter ending March 81, 1886, showing
disbursements of $24,S62 SO. During
the period it was found necessary to in
cur an expense of 1896 80 for bringing
water to the mill by means of pipe. Ow-
ing to dry weather and the old supply OF
water giving out, the mill was obliged to
stop work for two months, which ac-
counted for the extra expense incurred.
The net sales of sugar for the same
period were also $16,924 %. The re-
ceiver thinks that grinding will now &c
on steadily until the crop of 1886 is taken
Off Already the plantation has turned
out $50 tons of sugar up to April "a, 1886
Col Allen anticipates a better showing
in his next report.

SOME time ago the ADVERTISER drew
attention to the importance of jute man
ufacture to the staple industry of this
country, namely, sugar production. In
that connection we spoke of the jute fac
tory at East Oakland. A San Francisco
paper says that there are 200 persons
now working in that factory, and that by
June next this number will have been
increased to 400. Mr.. Robinson, the
manager, is gradually discharging the
Chinese operatives and employing boys
and girls instead. He has some diff
Guilty, however, in procuring female
labor, and will be compelled to send to
Scotland for trained female hands unless
they are to be had from the East.

A 9 mall Blaze.

About O'Clock last evening, the rear

Chinese laundrymen, caught fire, but
was discovered by the neighbors
before it made any progress. The YER

was well burnt. Several natives did
very effective services, while the con-
fused Chinese did not even think OF
throwing bucket of water on the fire.
