UNCONVENTIONAL SUGGESTION.

EDITOR BULLETIN THE colonial
ton scheme advocated in your jour
nal from time to time looks very
feasible, but it has occurred to me
and others with whom | have con-
versed relative to the matter, that
the amount of capital required-one
million dollars-may be serious
obstacle in the way of a beginning
and l would suggest that it is a
proper thing for the Government to
take in hand. That is, why should
not the Legislature authorize a
special loan of million dollars for
the purchase of the lands intended
to be settled and for the carrying
out of the scheme of the projectors
The Government has been censured,
unjustly, for not having put into
operation the homestead act of last
Legislature. / say unjustly, be-
cause ! believe there are no Govern
ment lands worth anything available
for settlement. In that case, why
not the Government secure the
private lands referred to for tho
purposes of the homestead law?
Why NOT?

WRECK OF TAE PLANTER,
n.1OAn0

Yesterday morning, on the arrival
of the steamer Jas. Makeo from
Kauai, the town was startled with
the news of the wreck of the Inter-
Island Steamship Co.'S steamer
Planter on the Island of Niihau.
Last Tuesday afternoon the Planter
left on her usual route to Kauai.
She arrived at Waimca Wednesday
afternoon, having discharged freight
at all her way-ports, and on her
arrival at the above place was met
by n party of people who were
anxious to get to Niihau. The
weather at Waimea was at that time
too rough to handle freight, and, as
$50 was proffered by the party for
the trip, the captain no doubt
thought it better TO accept the offer
than TO lie idle at Waimea. Ac-
cordingly he made steam for Niihau
ca small island about % miles from
KauaD that night "Wednesday at
about 1880 O'Clock.
A few hours later, between one
and two O'Clock, the steamer struck
a reef off the northeast enc of the
Island of Niihau. The weather was
bad, heavy mist was lying low and
rain squalls were frequent. The
steamers engines were reversed and
all hands did their utmost to get the
vessel off the reef, but without sue
cess. Boats were lowered and the
| passengers and crew were safely
landed. Capt. Cameron, who was
last to leave the wreck, was about to
descend to q boat when he was swept
overheard by heavy sea. He was
rescued, however, in an unconscious
state and badly bruised and cut, rs
were also some of the sailors. Shortly
after the steamer struck, and all
hands were landed, Mr.. Gay, of
Niihau, despatched his whaleboat
and crew to Waimea, Kauai, with
the news, hoping to intercept the
steamer James Makee, at Nawiliwili,
for assistance. The schooner Liho-
Tho was at Waimea when the whale
boat arrived, and Immediately set
sail for the scene of the wreck to
render aid if possible.
Captain Godfrey, Superintendent
of the |. |. $. n. Co., leaves by the
steamer Iwalani this evening for
Waimea, where he expects to meet
the schooner Liholiho, and, after
ascertaining particulars regarding
the Planter, he will visit the wreck
or not, as circumstances decide.
The wrecked steamer cost S75 ,00O
to build, and lately she was put in
perfect order at the cost of $4,000.
With her Waimea freight, surf-boats,
fixtures, etc., the loss will be in
creased by few thousand dollars,
She was not insured. The Company
has an insurance fund, recently
started, which does not begin tc
cover the loss of the Planter. The
I.LS.N. Co. had just enough vessels
to get through this season by dill
gent work, and spoke of having
another steamer built by next year.

The steamer Iwalani arrived this
morning from Kauai and Niihau
with budget of news. On Wednes-
day last the Iwalani visited the
wrecked steamer Planter at Niihau
and remained there the entire day.
The Planter is lying at the north
point of the island known as "Kii,"
in about six feet of water. She has
keeled over on her port side with
her bow to the land, and her stern
to the breakers. There is consider
able water III her hold, which rises
and falls with the tide. While the
Iwalani was at Niihau the sea was
calm. The wreck was boarded, and
a great quantity of her fixtures, etc.,
was taken ashore in boats. Cap
tain Cameron, who is now all right,
and the Planters. crew, are at Nil
hau saving what they can of the
wreck, and it is said that If the
weather continues fair everything in
the stranded steamer, including the
heavy machinery, will be saved.
Purser Webster of the Planter is
at Waimea, attending to some of the
. company's money matters, while
Mclean, purse: of the Iwalani, is
at Hanamaulu. He was sent ashore
yesterday afternoon in boat with
three sailors to tell the people that
the Iwalani had to sail Immediately
for Honolulu, but would return
Saturday morning.
Miss Barbour, of California, an
invalid on visit to the Islands for
the benefit of her health, was pas
senger on the wrecked steamer.
When the latter struck, this lady
was asleep and the shock caused her
severe hemorrhage of the lungs.
Miss Barbour was taken on board
the Iwalani at Niihau on Wednes-
day, and was so feeble yesterday
that Capt. Freeman decided TO lose
no time in steaming for Honolulu to
obtain medical attendance. Although
it was feared the patient might not
survive the night, yet she rested
comfortably, and on arrival this
morning was attended by DIR. Mar
tin. This afternoon a stretcher was
obtained from the Station House,
Deputy Marshal Dayton sending
men to carry it, for conveying the
lady to the house of Mr.. Sosthwick
Adams Lane. The kind oonsidera
ton of Capt. Godfrey, Superinten
dent of the Inter-Island line, VIII,
was on the Iwalani, and of Capt
Freeman, for despatching the yesse
to Honolulu, and their care for th
patients comfort on the passage, ar
heartily appreciated by the lady

1t appears that the new truck of
the Hook and Ladder Company broke
down on account of flaw in the
welding of the axle. Probably such
an understandable fault would not
have been committed by Honolulu
mechanics, had they been given the
making of the vehicle. The first
ladder truck sent down from the
Coast was made for horses, but, ON
the principle that anything was good
enough for the Sandwich Islanders,
1t was adapted to man power by
changing the pole, and was sent along,
twice as cumbersome and three times
as costly as the Department wanted.
Now light truck is ordered in good
faith, and one is delivered that breaks
down on the first run out, through
stopped work on it. Lately printer

San Francisco out OF sample book,
and instead of the kind wanted an
old-fashioned article, discarded by the
craft elsewhere, was shipped. This
sort of thing should be sat upon by

that this country should not be an

Artesian well-boring is being very
actively pushed in the Sierra Valley.
The deepest one is 1904 feet, flow
ing 10 gallons per minute. There
are about 30 wells, yielding total
of 800 gallons per minute, in the
Valley, and it is stated by local
paper that within the next six
months there will probably be three
times the present number of wells.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

New York physicians say the
opium habit is alarmingly on the
increase in that city," Sensible
people must shudder at the prospect
of the embargo on opium being re-
moved in this country, by the party
shouting over their victory yester-
day on this island. The native
electors of Honolulu and Oahu have
endorsed their death warrant.
The British Consul for Samoa
went home by the Alameda on her
last trip, bearing representations of
Germany's action in those Islands
to the British Government. News
by the Icalandia is to the effect that
Germany is making ovcrtures for
the partition of the Samoan Islands.
The proposals, il is said, include
an allotment to England of Savaii,
the largest island of the group,
Germany taking Upolu with the port
of Apia, and the United States get
ting the eastern islands, including
Tutuila with the harbor of Pango-

An Intelligent Juror.

--S- -
There is an American story of a
juror in q trial for murder in one of the
backwoods settlements of the far west
Great difficulty had been experienced
in getting jury /; eleven jurors had at
last been sworn in, and there only re-
manned one man of the panel. He was
a small, lean. lank fellow. with a
shrewd face and uncouth demeanor,
and his apparel seemed to show that
never before had he been within sight
or sound of civilization. He was asked
the usual questions as to whether he
had formed any opinions about the
case, whether he had any prejudice
against the prisoner, or whether he was
conscientiously opposed to capital pun
ishmeat. To all these questions he re-
turned a decided negative. The Judge
and the council for the prosecution and
for the defense did not any of them
specially like the mans manner but
it was late and jurors were scarce, and
so he was accepted. In accordance
with an old form surviving strangely in
out-of-the-way places, he was set be-
fore the alleged murderer and the Judge
said Juror, look upon tho prisoner !;

this command was given, the little man

moments then he raised his head and

Origin of Slanting Roofs.

land of the Pharaohs. From Egypt the
craft passed to Greece. and from the
| Greeks it was taken up by the Romans.
to be by them disseminated through the
north and west of Europe in the pro-
cess of colonization. The similarity in
regard to the constructive parts of the
ancient Greek buildings to some of
those found in Egypt of older date, af-
fords strong confirmation of the tradi-
ton that the Greeks borrowed the, ,art
from the Egyptians. The Greeks, how
ever. in adopting it added a new fea-
ture, the pedmcnt, and the reason for
this addition is easy to find. Egypt is
practically rainless. All the protection
from the climate required in a palace
or temple in such country is shelter
from the sun by day and from the cold
by night, and for this Hat roof, sup
ported by walls, or pillars with archi-
traves. is quite sufficient; but, as when
in all European countries, rain has to
be taken into account. a slanting roof
becomes necessary. The Greeks, with
their eyes for symmetry, provided for
this by forming the roof with centrrl
ridge. at an obtuse angle. from which
it sloped down equally on either side.
The triangular space thus formed at
the end of the building above the ar
chitrave was occupied by the pediment,
and this part of the facade, which owed
its birth to the exigencies of climate,
was thenceforth regarded as so essen
tial to the artistic completeness of the
work that it was said that if temple

Iron in the South.

We have been frequently assured of
late by the tariff organs north and
south that the iron industry in some of
the southern states will undoubtedly
soon lead those states into the protec-
ton camp The growth of iron manu-
featuring in the south is of course very
gratifying, but that it is confined to a
few small districts seems to be over
looked in all the calculations we have
mentioned. The increase in the out
put for last year shows how little the
whole iron industry in the south influ-
ences the prosperity OF the southern
states, or even the condition of the
iron trade in the United States As
compared with last year, Alabama
turns out in round numbers an increase
of $4,000 tons; Georgia, $4,000 tons;
West Virginia, $4,000 tons; Tennessee,
$1,000 tons. and Kentucky, $500 tons.
The entire increase for the year in all
the southern states is about IS. 900 tons,
which would be moderate product for
one small plant. The whole increase
could be sold in any one northern iron
market without affecting prices. 1t is
too much to expect that the farmers of
the south will consent to be impover-
lshed to support manufacturing enter
prises all over the country, even if a
few iron mills are established in this
section. It will always be Improbable

A Good Mans Tenderness.

Boys are sometimes tempted to think
that to be tender-hearted is to be weak
and unmanly. Yet the tcndermost
heart may be associated with the strong
est and most forcible mind and will.
Take, for example, the story told OF
him to whom we owe our wonderful
railway system. George Stephenson
went one day into an upper room OF
his house and closed the window. 1t
had been left open long time because
of the great heat, but now the weather
was becoming cooler. and so Mr.. Ste
phenson thought it would be well to
shut it. He little knew at the time
what he was doing. Two or three days
afterward, however. he CHANGED to OBJ
serve bird flying against the same
window and beating against it with all
its might. again and again. as if trying
to break it. His sympathy and curiosity
were aroused. What could the little
thing want9 He at once went to the
room and opened the window to see.
The window opened. the bird flew
straight to one particular spot in the
room, where Stephenson saw nest
that little birds nest. The poor bird
looked at it, took the sad story in at a
glance, and fluttered down to the floor
broken-hearted, almost dead.
Stephenson, drawing near to look,
was filled with unspeakable sorrow.
There sat the mother bird, and under it
four tiny little young oncs-mother and
young all apparently dead. Stephen
son cried aloud. He tenderly lifted the
exhausted bird from the floor, the worm
it had so long and bravely struggled to
bring to its home and young still in its
beak. and carefully tried to revive it;
but all his efforts proved in vain. 1t
speedily died, and the great man
mourned for many a day. At that
time the force Of George Stephenson s
mind was changing the face of the
earth. yet he wept at the sight of this
dead family, and was deeply grievcd be-
cause he himself had unconsciously
been the cause of death. Manchester

Fowl Facts in an Egg Shell.

The breeds of fowls having the quail
ity of laying and not sitting, may be
classed in four groups-all layers of
white eggs. First. -Single-combed
fowls, including the Black-Spanish,
Minorcas, Andalusans and Lcghorns
in variety. These all are distinguished
by large erect, single combs in the
cocks, and dropping combs in the hens.
Second.-The rose combed fowls Of the
Hamburg group. Third The true
top-knots" Whites Crested Black Polish,
Golden-Spangled Polish, Silver-Span-
gled Polish, White Polish. all of which
have split or double combs, or the fudi-
ments of such combs. FourM-The
Gallo group of fowls, some of which.
like the CrevecGurs and the Houdans,
have crests like the Polish; others, like
the Gelderland fowls of Holland, La
Fleche and La Bresse of France, show
the split or bifurcated comb or the rud-
ments of it. Among all these the most
useful, simply as egg-producers. are to
be found in the single-combcd group.
/
The cock of the White-Face Black
Spanish breed is characterized by lus-
trous black plumage, gay with rainbow
tints, and only a little less glossy in the
hcns-red combs or wattles and white
faces. They lay eggs of the largest
size and pure white, of course. The
Minorcas are like them but with red
faces, and the Andalusians are blue.
Leghorns, White and Brown, are desir-
able. hardy, prolific, and breed gener-
ally true to feathers and style. The
Leghorns and there are several other
breeds-are by no means so high-bred
as the Spanish, yet they are harder.
and the eggs, though smaller. are more
abundant, so that so long as eggs sell
by the dozen, rather than by the pound,
they are very profitable fowls to keep.
Houdans are favorite French fowls, and
combine egg laying and aesh produc-
ton in a high degree; they are, besides,
hardy, prolific, and. like all the other
Gallo fowls, excellent eating, which can
hardly be said with truth of the fowls
of any other of the groups of non-sit-
ters. .-Anertcan Agriculturist.
