Gobelin Tapestry,

st. Nicholas.
In thefamousm mandatory of Gobe-
lin tapestry, which belongs to the
French Government, are produced
large and beautiful woven pictures,
and the great merit of the work is
that it is done entirely by hand, no
machinery being used. The opera
ton is very slow, each workman put
ting one thread at a time in its place,
and faithfully copying painting in
oil or water colors, which stands near
him, as a model. If, in day, he
covers a space as large as his hand,
he considers that he has done a very
good days work.

When the Postmaster Got High

Kansas City Times,
a Nebraska postmaster, having
been charged with being roaring
drunk" admitted the impeachment
on two specifications. One was the
time Of Grover Cleveland's election,
the other was when the republican
postmaster was turned out and he
was put in. While the Times finds
little excuse for "roaring drunk"
it believes that if ever man timed
his DRINKS well that Nebraska post
master was the man.

Notice to inspectors of Election

Notice to Inspectors of Election.
To the Inspectors of Election in the several Dis
tricts OF the Kingdom:
Inquiries having been made whether persons
who are exempt from the payment Of personal
taxes by reason of being clergymen, teachers,
pupils in High Schools, fremen, etc. or by reason
OF being over the age of sixty years or whose
taxes have been excused by the Assessor on &c
count Of infirmity or poverty, allowed by law
20 vote at the election for Representatives.
Its my opinion that all such persons are emit
tied TO vote. The Tax Collector should issue to
each such person tax receipt with the words
QUALIFIED to Vote" upon il, which he must sign,
and in place of the amount Of taxes he must
write exempt" Excused" On the presenta-
ton of this Tax Receipt TO the Inspectors Of Eiec
ton at their sessions previous to the election the
name Of the voter be put the list of voters
and the receipt returned to the voter.
At the General Election to be held on the Sd OF
February, 1886. the votes of such persons must be
received, unless challenged for other reasons

The annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Bell Telephone Company was held at
their Office on the 9th instant, 873 shares
being represented. The Treasurer sub
mitted his report, of which the following
is copy:
To the stockholders of the Hawaiian Bell
Telephone Company-Gentlemen Here
with beg to submit report of the affairs
of the company and trial balance after
making closing entries
From an inspection of the accounts it
will be seen that the net earnings of the
company for the past year have been
s., 212 SO, equal to 3216 per cent on the cap
ital stock; a dividend of 10 per cent has
been paid to shareholders during the year,
and the present outlook warrants the belief
that regular quarterly dividends of per
cent can be maintained should no unfore-
seen contingencies arise.
Our list of connections now numbers 400
paying subscribers, and could be considera-
bly, increased, but the present low rates do
not warrant the construction of new lines.
Important improvements have been made
in the central office and a new tower has
been erected. all of which have been paid
for out of the earnings. The strictest econ
omy has been practiced in the manage
ment of the affairs of the company, and
the running expenses for the year just
closed are 81 ,445 90 less than those of 1884.
We have lost some subscribers during
the year from failures in business and re-
movals, and the necessity of economy
k1o ~, b,1O hos
induced few others to withdraw their sub
scriptions from our present system.
During the early part of the year our
company was subject to great annoyance
and our business was much interrupted by
wires of the Mutual Telephone Company,
which had been placed in such a position
as to be continually in contact with our
lines. Remonstrance having proved unavail
ing, and no notice being taken of our COM
plants, it was decided at a meeting of the
Board of Directors to bring a suit of dam
ages against the Mutual Company. The
suit was accordingly brought at the July
term of the Supreme Court, and resulted in
a unanimous verdict in our favor. This
verdict had a most salutary effect, as the
interferences complained of Immediately
ceased and have not since been resumed.
reference was here made to litigation
with the Waianae Company which re-
suited in favor of the Bell Telephone
Company

pany does not owe anything and that the
cash on hand amounts to 81 ,9S7 IS, and out
