JAVANESE LABOR.

The Planters Monthly" has the fol-
lowing editorial note in reference to the
cost Of Javanese labor to the planters Of
Queensland, at the same time looking to
Java as a possible field from which
available laborers might be obtained for
the Hawaiian Islands 1t says:
HThe terms upon which Javanese are
going as laborers to Queensland are
given in an article, The Queensland Labor
supply herewith. The wages paid are
81 . per month and board. Women
are not paid anything, but are entitled
to a free passage out and back, as are
also the laborers. With increased taxes
and competition and decreased receipts,
we may be obliged to seek labor cheaper
than is now being used or 90 under. With
the way already open for immigration,
as sugar plantation laborers the Javan-
csc may be the source which we shall
have to 90 to. The Planters Monthly
will meanwhile obtain what informa-
ton is available on the subject"
1t will be remembered that the AD-
vERTIsER brought this question before
the plantation owners some months ago,
and we understand that the Hawaiian
Government, through the Foreign De
partment, soon after wrote for detailed
information on the subject. A reply
may be expected by the next incoming
mail from the Colonies when, if it be as
full as was contemplated by the letter OF
inquiry, it will probably cover all essen
tial points. We think that our labor
population might be recruited from Java
with the best possible results. That ex-
tremely fertile island is becoming over
populated, and contrary to its settled
policy the Government of the Neither
lands Indies would now appear to be
favorable to the emigration, under time
contracts, of portion of the working
classes. In the past, such a proposal
would not have been entertained by the
Batavian authorities, and the change of
policy may be utilized to the advantage
of this country under judicious manage
ment. When Mr.. Hillebrand was COM
missioned by the Hawaiian Gov
eminent to visit the countries of
the Malayan Archipelago, to re-
port upon the most available sources
of labor supply for our sugar planters, he
was forcibly impressed by the similarity
in physique and disposition of the Jaw
anese and Hawaiians, but Java was then
a closed industrial country, shut up
against foreign intercourse by the Dutch,
and in the intervening period nothing
practical has been attempted in this di-
rection beyond the recent effort to pro-
cure reliable information, with a view to
future action by the Government. How
far recent changes may affect the policy
of immigration in its general bearings
upon production and settlement it is OF
course impossible to say, but the native
people would stand good chance of per
petuating their race by the reinforce
ment of fresh blood of a vigorous and
fruitful people like the Javanese, the
average of whose families are six chill
dren. We shall watch the course OF
events in this connection with much
interest.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A Young Colored Girl Burned While PIa

A Young Colored Girl Burned While Play
in With Burning Leaves.
The ten-year-old daughter OF John
Davis, a colOred man living on east Liberty
street, met with quite a serious, though not
dangerous, accident at about o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The girl, with number
Of other children. had raked up large pile
of leaves in the street in front of a neigh
bor's house, which they had fired. Child
like, they were playing around the fire and
jumping over the burning pile. In doing
this latter the Davis girls dress took fire in
the flames and was burning briskiy in mo-
ment The girl naturally became fright
ened and panic-stricken, and started for
home, about two hundred feet distant, on a
dead run. This but served to fan the
flames. and by the time she reached the
house the right side was enveloped from
head to foot. Fortunately, however, the
wind was against the flames and drove them
away from instead of to her. Otherwise
the accident might have proven fatal. The
mother soon extinguished the flames, and
did what she could to allay the pain until
the arrival of DR.. Mclaughlin, who applied
the usual remedies and soon greatly eased
the chiId's sufferings. The shock to the
system by fright was nearly as bad as the
burning. The girl will not be in any way
disfgured, but will be confined to her bed
for some time.

1t is generally stated, and with strong
showing of truth, that noted women, either
in literary or artistic line, are seldom
blessed with that beauty which Aristotle
declared was better than all the letters of
recommendation in the world" There is a
lady in this country, however, who is said
to be one of the very few beautiful literary
women of the world: Mrs. Dahlgren, widow
of the late Admiral Dahlgren. She is tall
and exceedingly graceful, with majestic
air, and face in which perfect regularity
of features is blended with a rare charm OF
expression. With the incoming of the
present administration. Mrs. Dahlgren left
Washington, and spent the last winter in
Philadelphia. She claims that it is only to
study character that she now mingles
In society at all. but that this
character study is necessary to
the success of the literary enterprises to
her life. She is a woman of about thirty
six years of age, yet looks many years
younger. Mrs. Dahlgren will be remem-
bered as the author of book published a
few years ago, protesting to deal with the
upper tendon of Washington society, but
in which she satirized and ridiculed social
leaders and prominent men, gaining for her
self not few enemies among them. upon
this account. She is not wanting in ad-
mirers, and many have desired to try what
is said to be, an unfailing recipe for ''de-
stroyng weeds" i. e. marry the widow"
but she is faithful to the memory of her
"Auld Robin Grey" although when they
were united in matrimOny. he was old
enough to be her father.

To lookers-On who have never got on to

uninteresting pastime, unworthy the eNer-
