Department may refuse to report fully to
it upon those scientific questions affect
ing the health OF tE.1 people committed
to their care, and which in fact is their
lawful duty. For the sake of an honor
able profession we hope that this state
ment was made without consideration,
and that it viii be Withdrawn upon due
reflection.
1t is no breach OF confidence to say
that Dr. Awnings admittedly imperfect
report and following correspondence were
in print as part of the appendix to the
biennial report OF the Board OF Health,
and that he had personally corrected the
proofs of his own report considerable
time before this private publication OF an
official document took place. This renders
his conduct wholly without excuse.
For the rest, the report of the Board Of
Health promises to be in all respects one
of the most complete and instructive ever
issued on the subject Of leprosy and
national hygiene; and it will vindicate,
in the eyes of scientists and all intelli-
gent men, the wisdom of entrusting the
powers of the Health Department of the
Kingdom to ga lay Board of Health, -
and not to the yagaries OF professional
empiricism and conceit.

a RriIIIant wedding.

On Wednesday, February 18TH, at st.
Hybald Church, Scawby, Lincolnshire,
Eng, the Rev Godfrey 3. Simeon, NJ A,
was united in the holy rite of matrimony
to Miss Janette Nina Sutton. The cere-
mony was performed by the Right Rev.
the Lord Bishop of Lincoln, who was
fully vested in purple cassock, rochet,
white stole, cape and mitre. Sir Charles
Anderson, Sir John ID. Ashley, Bart,
Lady Ashley, the Hon. Mrs. Sutton Mel
thorpe and large and fashionable COM
pany were present at the church, which
was tastefully decorated for the occasion
with evergreens and plants. The bride
was attired in rich cream-colored satin
costume, with Irish point lace, tulle veil
and orange blossoms. The groom's best
man was his brother, Mr.. Hugh B.
Simeon. The marriage had long been
looked upon in circles privileged with the
acquaintance of the bridegroom and the
bride, as being a particularly happy
instance of matrimonial felicity. The
presents were of a costly and tasteful
character, and if we had to mention
them all it would occupy at least col
umn and half of space.
The bridegroom is we'll known in this
city as brother of Mrs WILLS, wifO-ef
the Bishop UI Honolulu. Last year,
about this time, in company with his
brother, he spent two months in the
Islands. Through the Lenten season
Mr.. Simeon delivered a series of mission
addresses in st. Andrews Cathedral,
which were well attended He is at

GRANTS FIRST LITERARY WORK.
His Discrimination to Touch Pen and Inl
The Sketch and Its Elaboration.

His Discrimination to Touch Pen and Ink
The Sketch and Its Elaboration
As early as December, 1888, the edit
ors OF The Century magazine had in
quired of me whether Gen. Grant could
not be induced to write about one or two
of his battles for their series of papers on
the war, mentioning Shiloh and the VIII
derness. l laid the matter before him,
but he was disinclined to attempt the
unfamiliar task. The editors, however,
renewed their solicitations. After the
failure of Grant & Ward they addressed
the letter, saying: The country looks
with so much regret and sympathy upon
Gen. Grants misfortune that it would
gladly welcome the announcement
and especially the publication of mate
rial relating to him, concerning a part
of his honored career in which every
one takes pride. 1t would be glad, they
said, ito have its attention diverted
from his present trouble, and no doubt
such diversion of his own mind would be
welcome TO him"
He was touched by the tone of the
communication, but shrank at first
from presenting himself to the public at
this juncture, preferring absolute with
eyed his reply spoke of the complete
financial ruin that had overtaken him.
The editors at once inquired whether
a pecuniary indueement might not have
weight, and made an offer to him
for two articles on any of his bat
ties which he might select. His neoessi-
ties decided him. The modern Belisa-
RUS did not mean to beg,
In June he went to Long Branch for
the summer, and soon afterward sent for
me and showed me few pages he had
written, and called an article. The
fragment was terse and clear, of course,
like almost everything he wrote, but too
laconic and compact, knew, to suit the
editorial purpose; it would not have
filed three pages Of the magazine. l
urged him to expand it.
NBut why write more?" he asked. 81
have told the story. What more is there
to say?"
begged him to go into detail, to ex-
plain his purposes and movements, to
describe the commanders, to give pictures
of the country; and he seized the idea,
and developed the sketch into a more
protracted effort. 1t was copied by his
eldest son, who carried it to the editors,
one of whom came at once to see him,
and asked him to still further extend his
article by including topics covered by
him in the interview. He consented
again, and the paper became the elabor-
ate one-elaborate for its author-which
appeared in The Century for February,
1885. This was Gen. Grants first at
tempt at anything like literary or his
torical composition, -[Gen. Badeau in

wanted a Farm and a WIG.

4here are queer people in this world,
but some few stand out CONSPICUOUS
among their fellows as examples OF ig-
norant credulity and cupidity. The
hamlet OF Charters Towers, in the Col
ony OF Queensland, Australia, Is blessed
with one OF these grasping originals.
He modestly wants to know whether a
farm, with wife thrown in, is to be had
for the asking from His Majesty the
King, and upon receiving an affirmative
reply he would be prepared to come
hither. Considering that females are
numerically scarce and proportionately
valuable in this Kingdom, this inquiring
colonist is doomed TO disappointment
unless his personal merits equal his gall.
The following correspondence, which the
ADVERTISER has been permitted to pub
lish, explains the whole case:

Hawaiian Furn1ture WOODS.

Far too little attention has been paid
to native Hawaiian timber for furniture
manufacture. There are several varieties
of native trees which cannot be excelled
for furniture purposes, being beautifully
notified and shaded, close in the grain
and susceptible of high polish. Cap
tain Lane, Post Commander of the Geo.
w. belong Post, No. 40, c. A. R., Ho-
nolulu, has in his possession a neat sam
pie of what may be done with Hawaiian
native woods. 1t is a gavel intended to
be presented by the Geo. W. belong
Post, No. 40, to the Commander-in-C Chief
of the G. A. r., at its annual national
encampment, to be held at San Fran
cisco in August next. Eight varieties of
native wood are used in the gavel, which
is tipped with part OF whales tooth, and
is a neat piece of workmanship, the
credit of which is due to Quartermaster
Green, of the Geo w. belong Post.
The woods composing the gavel are koa,
kou, sandal, cocoanut, milo, kanilo and
kamaa. 1t is to be hoped that greater
attention will be paid to the availability
of our native woods for furniture pur-
poses in future The Government has
devoted considerable attention to the
question of forestry of late, and no more
useful branch of it can be found than in
the conservation of native forest trees.

The Palestine Canal.

The Italian consul at Jerusalem, in an
official report, calculates that the pro-
jected Palestine canal would provide a
passage to the east of four hours less du
ration than the Suez canal; would be
constructed at half the cost of the latter.
and he maintained at mvch less expense,
so that in consequence the tolls levied on
ships would be about half those of the
Suez canal. 1t would afford access to
new countries and provinces among the
most fertile in the world, and travellers
to the Holy Land would arrive there
with facility.
Importation and expectation by means
of sailing vessels between the east and
the Adriatic and Mediterranean would
be greatly increased, so that Italy es-
pecially would gain immensely by the
canal. 1t is safe to say that as soon as
1t is completed the Palestine canal will
be able to reckon on a traffic of 6,O0O,-
900 tons, or 10000, OOf. II Edinburgh

AGeneraI snasIl.un.

On Monday morning, about o'clock,
a Portuguese was driving a horse, at
tached to an ancient looking express,
down Nuuanu Valley road. When just
below the second bridge he was not sat
isfed with the pace the animal was 60
ing, and, getting the whip, brought it
down on the horses back with telling
effect. The horse got mad at such rough
treatment and commenced to buck and
lin the most lival1r ---~hner all over
the street, driving pedestrians in every
direction. 1t kept the kicking up for
quite time and then started on a gallop
towards town. When near the corner Of
Kukui street, the Portuguese was thrown
out, and the fun was concluded by the
horse running the wagon into Mr.
Hughes fence, smashing it badly, also
the wagon, which was turned over. The
horse was thrown down, but regaining
its feet, ran a little further along and tIie1l
stopped and turned round to see how its
muster was getting along. The Portu-
guese was last seen mending the fence.

Contents of Jules TaverHIer's Studio
Sold az Auction.
The entire inventory of sketches,
studios, inchoate works, artists uten-
sis, curios, bric-a-brac and art rubbish,
from Jules Tavernier's studio, was sold
at auction yesterday by BoYee, Toy & Co.
Thecollection was as miscellaneous as an
unartistic mind could conceive OF. There
was a large attendance, and bidding was
brisk among the low figures; studies and
sketches almost uniformly started with
bids of subsidiary coin, and ran up from
two bits to a dollar at a time, until they
reached from 81 to SO. The finest pieces
were still in the first stages of execution,
but the subjects were attractive. They
were sold more as subjects for the pur-
chasing artists to work upon. The high
est figures bid were for small study of
three Indian heads, which started at %
cents. 1t was on loose piece of cloth
about l0x16 inches in size. Nat. Britain
and c. B. Bailey of the Nevada Bank
ran it up to $27, at which figure it was
struck off to Mr.. Britain. A handsome
clock of the kind usually known as
"Grandfather's Clock in a handsome
case, was an object OF lively competition
between H. A. Pearson OF the Palace
Hotel, and III. H. Sherwood. 1t was
struck off to the latter at $22-less than
half its value. A portfolio of etchings
brought $2l, and another of sketches SO.
The sale aggregated over $1,000. The
prices generally were considered by
