USTRALIAE NEWS.

The Zealandia, which arrived last
evening, brought the intelligence that
the Government of New South Wales
had resigned, and that Sir John Robert

Opposition, had formed new Ministry.
1t does not give satisfaction and is evil

The Liveliest Sand in America.
flor New York World.

1t is sandy at Sandy Hook Some
men have an idea that this is not so,
and that the name was coined as a sort
of compliment to the longest peninsula
that reaches out from the sandy shores
of New Jersey into the Atlantic But
those people have never been there;
they do not know of the simooms,
ripples, wavelets, pillows and shifting
hills of sand that sift down the visitors
neck, eddy around his shoes, plash over
his uppers, ingulf his lower limbs and
shut down upon him generally in a soul
subduing way that make him wish that
he had never been born. 1t is always
with you; from the moment you get off
the boat or train until you leave the
Hook it can not be for moment shaken
off. The very gang-plank of the steam
boat sends out crunching, sandy noise
when you step on it in making your
escape.
The redeeming features of this freak
of nature are Capt. Patterson's light
house, which warns people off from It;
the kindness are Capt. Farrell, which
saves those cast ashore there from dy-
ing from hunger, and last, but not
within many degrees of least, the rail
road or steamboat, which furnishes q
means of escape. A week at Sandy
Hook would drive most men mad.
some do live there quite comfortably;
but then there are people who have
never been Seasick.

A "Five-Legged" Apple Tree.
Philadelphia Pres

On the farm of Mr. H. P Leaf, two
miles west of Pottstown, may be seen
two apple trees that are, we think,
without a parallel in tree manipulation.
Some years ago, when the orchard on
the farm was set out, rabbits ''girdled"
the young trees, eating all the bark off
about the stems. In two cases of choice
fruit the father of Mr.. Leaf undertook
to save the trees. The young shoots
which usually spring up from below the
'girdle' were allowed to grow long
enough to reach the sound bark above
the 'girdle' and then inserted under
the bark, after the manner of inoculat-
ing trees, and securely tied. They grew
and nourished the main stem of the
tree above, and now, after some years,
the trees rest entirely upon their in
serted supports. and are as vigorous as
any in the orchard.
One of these trees has five of these
legs" which have now, by growth,
been almost consolidated. The other
tree has seven, all entirely distinct as
yet, but growing closer. The old stem
below the insertion is dead and decayed
in the one tree, and in the other it is en-
tirely gone. The trees, therefore, look
as if resting upon five or seven legged
stool, and all the nourishment the trees,
now in prime bearing order, receive iS
through these inserted branches.

Protest of Paris. Wine Merchants.


The wine merchants of Paris held
meeting the other day to petition the
municipal council for the suppression of
the municipal laboratory, which they de-
clare is running their business. NJ. Cir
ard, the chemical analyst and manager
of the laboratory, has Just published In
The Soir letter in which he shows that
what the wine merchants really claim is
sort of Impunity TO adulterate their
wine, and TO defraud the state and the
city of Paris of their dues.
He says: What the wine merchants
want is permission TO sell to the con-
sumner water at the same price as wine.
The municipal laboratory draws samples
of wine from the casks as they enter
Paris, and also samples from the same
barrels after they are placed in the
stores of the wine merchants. The re-
suit arrived at by the laboratory is, that
the wine is mixed with water IN large
proportions. By adding water four
casks of wine are turned into five, and
the laboratory experts have calculated
that more than 5000 wine merchants
practice this kind of fraud. Moreover,
the experts have discovered that wine
is clandestinely made in Paris of rails
ms, apples, pears, prunes, etc. Other
VINE merchants mix low priced spanish
wines with the produce of French vine
yards, and sell the mixture as genuine
French wine. In this way the city of
Paris has been defrauded of nearly
800, 900 france during the last few
months, as wine thus manufactured
pays no octroi dues.
There are annually consumed IN Paris
5000, 600 hectolitres of wine. The
wine merchants claim the right of re-
placing these millions of hectolitres by
1000, 900 hectolitres of water AS the
duty is 18 francs per hectolitre the state
and the city, who divide the octroi
dues. lose $4,000, 600 francs per annum.
Official documents state that the wine
merchants purchase nearly as much
foreign as French wine.

Arrival of the zeaIandIn.

The steamship Zealandia arrived last
evening shortly after Z O'Clock, Is days
and hours from Sydney. She left her
buoy in Lavenku Bay at 4:26 p. IN. on
the 29th ultimo and cleared the Heads at
p. m. She passed Walpole Island
at 3 AS p. m. on January I'd, Sydney
Island at 5 80 p. M. on the 9TH, and
crossed the equator January 9th, in lon
gitude 169 w. Received the Honolulu
pilot at rs p. IN. on the 18th, and was
fast alongside the wharf at 7:15. Leav-
ing Sydney she had fine weather for a
few days, the barometer falling regularly
till the 4th, when she experienced a
heavy cyclone with hard rain, squalls
and confused sea- The barometer fell
to 29.08. and the ship was hove to, and
lost altogether about twenty hours. On
the 9th inst. it improved, and she carried
full clear weather with moderate
northerly, north-easterly and north
westerly winds till arrival at Honolulu.
The Zealandia brought no passengers
for this port, and only four sacks of seed
as freight. She had sixteen cabin and
seven steerage passengers in transit for
San Francisco, and 1852 packages of

A substitute for Coal.
Philadelphia Record.l


The Russian oil field promises to be
much more extensive than ours, and
the supply more enduring than chat de-
rived from the wells in this country.
Russian oil, at the wells, is worth about
IS cents per barrel, and yields under
ordinary refining processes only about
30 per cent. of Illuminating oil. But the
heavy, non-explosive, lubricating oil
that remains after the process of distil-
lation is perhaps the cheapest and best
fuel in the world The steam cars and
steamships of southern Russia use it ex-
clusively, and it is finding its way into
use in the steam craft of other countries
going and coming from ports in the
Black sea and the Mediterranean. 1t is
cheaper than coal, it does not occupy
one-nfth of the room, and will soon be
esteemed a necessity for steamers max
ing long voyages, which are obliged to
carry so much coal they have little room
for other freight,

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Among those at Kaumakapili Church
last Monday night, who sat by approx
ingIy when Kealaula, an Independent
Opposition candidate, ikened political
parties in the Kingdom to the Holy
Trinity, were Rev. II. III. Parker, Rev.
S. E. Bishop, T. G. Jones, junior, T. G.
Thrum, L. A Thurston and DIR. G.
T. Rodgers This is the kind of oratory
which the Independent Opposition ap-
parently approves, and we presume also
that it is a fair outcome of its politico-
religious training. Otherwise there
would have been a protest either from
the chair, the gentlemen above named,
or the champion Independent Opposition
candidates, Mr.. j. o. Carter and Henry
WGterhouse.

The Volcano Extremely Active.

Mr.. Julian Montsarrat, Manager of the
Kapapala ranch, who arrived by the
steamer w. G. Hall, reports that the
whole bottom of the crater of Kilauea
was overlooking on Monday last. 1t is
probable that this overflow started from
the New Lake. If this should be the
case, tourists will have for some weeks or
months to come a magnificent display,
although they may be prevented from
following the beaten track for travellers
across the lava bed. Probably this ac-
tivity in Kilauea will cause correspond
ing inertness in Halemaumau. This
appears to be the greatest outflow of
Kilauea since 1923.

nation of rock called Castle gate. 1t is
the most notable single formation along
the whole route. Two huge lodges of
rock advance from the cliffs. On the
southern side the projection, 500 feet
high, is crowned on the top by round
turrent Cn the northern side a thin
promontory of equal height advances its
rose red wall, which is no thicker in
proportion to its height than Cleopatra S

THE GREAT OCEAN RACE.
Won by the Alameda, which Gained
Fifty.tWO Hours On the Ze0IanCiIa
and Made the Fastest Time ON
Record.

Mr.. VIM. o. Irwin received private
letter from Sydney by the Zealandia,
containing notes of the great ocean
steamship race, from which it appears
that the Alameda gained fifty-two hours
on the Zealandia between San Francisco
and Sydney. We have been permitted
to use this communication.
The Alameda gained on the Zealandia
as follows:
San Francisco to Honolulu ... 10 hours
Honolulu to Auckland. . -. .25 hours
Auckland to Sydney ............... hours
Total gain. ..-........-.....-.5 81 hours.
The Alameda made the quickest time
ever made to Auckland by twenty-five
hours, and beat the fastest time between
Auckland and Sydney seven hours.
Captain Weber stated on his
arrival here that the Alameda arrived in
Sydney thirteen hours ahead of the
Zealandia.

WGterhouse.
Native Hawaiians say that Mr. j. o.
Carriers speech at Kaumakapili Church
was "hoopunipuni." In other words, it
made a false presentation of the state
of public affairs of the Kingdom Their
heads are level upon this point. That is
precisely what Mr. Carter did, although
very much better things had been hoped
from him. 1t is a mistake for any
public man to sink his own individuality
and convictions to conform to the pro-
gramme of political cabal or coterie
Mr.. Carter has done himself serious in
jury by his Kaumakapili Church speech.
Mr.. Marques has been "asked by sew
eral prominent citizens of Honolulu to
stand as Independent candidate for the
next Legislature" he tells the public in
printed circular. But that is not suf-
ficient. He wants a popular nomina-
ton. That is easily enough managed.
Let him adopt the approved Opposition
methods. Mix prayers with his politics,
pay for the privilege of addressing ''the
people" and for cappers to fix his nomi-
nation, and he viii receive an ovation
proportional to the pay and hypocrisy
expended. If he fails to do that his
chance of popular nomination is slim.
Of course that would not secure votes,
but it would create good impression by
show of strength. Mr.. Marques has
been long enough in the country to
understand these points, but the sugges-
ton is kindly meant, and should be &C
cepted in the spirit in which it is ten
dered.
And this brings us to Mr.. Marques
f'platform" 1t consists of sixteen
'tplanks" The strongest of these have
been taken from the programme issued
by the National candidates. The origi-
nal ideas in the Marques circular are
little mixed, but on the whole are well
intended. The weak points are in the
financial ''planks," to which we suspect
Mr. Marques has not applied himself suf-
ficiently. He would decrease taxation
while increasing expenditure, and would
put Honolulu under municipal govern
ment without making any provision APP
parently for raising local revenue. In
addition he would amalgamate the
standing army with the police $50 as
to combine efficiency with economy, and
yet be able to give better salary to the
humble and useful policeman" Just
how that is to be managed under mu-
nicipal government without income is a
problem which Mr. Marques does not ex-
plain, but we suppose the voters should
take it for granted that it may be done.
Under the Marques scheme of muni-
cipal organization the city of Honolulu
would be as lightly equipped for local
government as the conventional Georgian
gentleman, whose dress suit is supposed
to consist of shirt collar and pair of
spurs. 1t would be compelled to build a
city hall support the army and police
with increased pay; light, pave, clean
and repair the streets; provide for the
sanitation of the city contribute towards
the maintenance of public charitable in
stitutions; pay full staff of municipal
officers, and find money for printing, ad-
