A sailor returned from AMMAN
and Tonquin is feted by his friends,
to whom he rccounts his adventures.
"Did you see the King of AMMAN ~
inquired one of his admiring friends.
"No, and it is very lucky for me

banished."

EDITORIAL NOTES.

People, even old residents, who
contine themselves to Honolulu can
scarcely realize the alarming de-
crease of the aboriginal population
Of the islands. The numbers are
maintained in the city at the expense
of the country. Many of the rural
districts that few years ago were
moderately well populated by natives
are now either almost deserted or
occupied mainly by Mongolians.
Death, in various forms, has been
quietly but steadily doing its work.

capital and other centres.

A Wealthy Farmers Bigamous Marriage
His First Wife in the Poor House.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June AIN 1863
Henry Grove, a wealthy farmer OF Hamilton
county, married Miss Sarah Shaw, of Con-
nersville, and the two came here to live He
represented himself as divorced from his
first wife, who at the time of his second
marriage was in the poor house and
blind from disease Grove died here some
time ago and his first wife sued for her
part of the tate, and ales led that she
had never been divorced from her husband
Several persons took an interest in her case,
and her case was brought here on change of
venue. The trial Monday developed that
she had never applied for tho divorce
granted in her name; that she knew moth.
ing about the proceeding, and that she had
been in the poor hose for twenty three
years, believing that she was kept there by
process of law. The verdict restores her to
her rights as Henry Groves widow and cuts
the Shaw woman off without cent of the
old mans money. The case has attracted
considerable attention and shows shat the
blind and helpless wife has been most
shamefully treated.

BALTIMORE, June "a special to The
American from Prince Frederick, Calvert
county, Md, says: On Wednesday morning
of last week an attempt was made to rape
the very interesting 5-ysar-old daughter Of
Rev l. NJ Lyle, formerly Of the Virginia
Methodist Episcopal ,ircuit, but now sta
toned here When he came to the
county he brought with him a mu.
latto boy by the name OF Charlie, Whittle,
aged about Is years, to attend around the
house and to care for his children. On
last Wednesday morning the boz started
from the house with the child over to skirt
oil woods near 10y to gather berries an:

uneasy and b. inquire as TO Ler where
aboIts Mrs Lyle happened to notice the
direction in which they went, and told the
elder daughter to go in search Of her sister.
She at once started in that direction
When she neared the woods she heard the
screams Of child which she knew were
those of her sister. She quickened her pace
and to her establishment found the boy
partly in a nude state, with the child on
the ground. Her presence quickly put stop
to further proceedings The boy told
the two children that if they ever
breathed one word to living
soul he would cut their Threats
from ear to ear With such threats they
started to the house. When they arrived,
Mrs. Lyle saw that something was wrong
Finally the children told her their story,
and she at once sent for her husband in the
village. When he came and heard what
had happened, his first impulse was to kill
the hoy on the spot His wife urged him
not to do it, and he decided to take the boy
to the county Jail
As soon as the news of the crime spread
the people became excited and Monday night
about il O'Clock forty masked men
rode up to the Jail and demanded the pris-
oner, Sheriff Anderson refused to give
him up, but the lynchers overpowered him,
and taking Whittle from his cell led him to
the woods near by and lynched him to a
persimmon tree The body was afterward
cut down by the sheriff and buried The
