CoNsIDERABLE discussion was
evoked in the Legislature yesterday up
on the item Of "Interest on Japanese
Fund, $1,000" To some Of the
members it seemed to be matter OF
surprise that there was such fund,
and explanations were called for. His
Excellcncy the Minister Of the Interior
explained that there had been de-
posted in the Treasury lieu of the
Postal Savings Bank, not started
twenty five per cent OF the earnings OF
Japanese laborers in this Kingdom,
This was done in accordance with the
terms Of protocols in connection with
the Convention be1ween this country
and Japan. The moneys so paid in
come through the Japanese Consul,
and are not drawn against except in the

SATURDAY. ~. MAY IS, 1886.

WE do not care to answer the per
sonal attack Of yesterdays Bulletin on
the editor of this paper; it is not to the
point. The question Of our popularity
is one for the public to determine and
not for the envious Bulletin to assume.
We have charged and repeat our
charge, that the editorial columns Of
the Daily Bulletin we're sold out two
years ago for coin, or a promise of
coin, to be paid to the proprietor Of
that paper by certain leader or GER
tain leaders of the Opposition party.
This charge the Bulletin has attempted
to evade, but has not and dares not
deny. By legitimate use of the logi-
cal form, which the Bulletin pretends
to despise, We again confront it with
the vital point which it wishes to hide
under a TRADE of personal abuse,
viz: Did the Bulletin sell out its ed
itorial columns, as charged, two years
agoP Some men often try to make the
best Of bad case by proving the
wrong conclusion but the Bulletin
sets the example Of attempting to shield
itself behind 4 barrier Of journalistic
self-rightiousness without establishing
a conclusion either right or wrong.

By vote Of SO ayes to a noes the
Assembly, yesterday, passed resolu
ton, introduced by Mr.. Kalua, from
Lahaina, to the effect that Hon. c. H
Judd, H. H. Majesty's Chamberlain,
be requested to lay before the Legis
lature on Monday next, q detailed ac.
count of the expenditures Of the sum
of $4,000 voted by the last L.egisla
ture for the Kings Household ex
penses. AS this resolution is clearly
not party measure it certainly seem:
to have more or less significance.
In the first place it is strange thai
one man should have been heretofore
allowed to handle such large amount,
of public moneys without the provision
of either biennial reports or ordinary
business vouchers. In the second
place it is strange that any man, who
valued his reputation, should be willing
to accept the absolute control of large
sums of public moneys without sur
rounding both his responsibility and
honor with the ordinary prudence
which public agents always use to avoid
the Vaccinations of political and social
envy.
1t is not strange, on the other hand,
that such loose business relations, ex-
isting between public official and the
Hawaiian Legislature should breed
public distrust, which has ended, where
all such matters logically end, in an
investigation of accounts, and, con-
sequently, either confirmation Of sus-
picions or a renewal of trusts. That
there are suspicious of violated trusts
in the present case no careful observer
will deny. No matter whether these
suspicious prove true or not, it is
clearly the duty of the Legislature to so
provide for the future that these belit-
Ting and unfortunate Investigations
will not be necessary hereafter, espec
tally in cases which carry financial set
Elements before the very presence and
dignity Of the King.

Character In Eyebrows.

1t is a common thing for men to judge
of Others by the expression Of the eye
or general makeup of the face, but some
men have fixed ideas which depend
upon smaller things than these, | know
a man who judges every one by the
curve OF slope of his eyebrows, In
his estimation heavy eyebrows denote
a strong character, while light eye
brows Indicate q weak or ttippant
temperament, If the brows are straight
and square they show q direct and
earnest character, If they have an I'M
certain curve he esteems the owner
wayering, The eyebrow with the
beautiful curve and graduated ending
he assigns to persons of an imagina-
tive and amiable disposition. If they
turn up at the ends the owner is OF a
curious turn of mind. The mar who
frowns from under overhanging eye
brows he looks upon as eccentric and
penurious, while the broad, smooth
eyebrow hetokens meditation, and that
with the raised tuft IN the middle
huLor.

WORK FOR WOMEN.
The Neighborhood Darner and h
Professional Buster.

There was a call lately, says a writer,
fof a new trade, adapted TO the COM
plexities Of the modern city house
that of the universal tinker. Now,
with an extension Of the same idea into
the woman's kingdom, a correspondent
signs for a neighborhood darner. Most
of us would agree as tothe convenience;
but the correspondent was not, per-
haps, aware that the system recon-
mended is in practical operation IN
Paris. In the family where our home
was when there. punctually one day IN
the week came Ia accommodates, and
having been established in a back room
and given a cup of coffee, set to Work
ON the ruin three children and an I'M
patient mar had wrought. She had for
her pains her meals and 20 cents a day;
and she had a clientele of nearly a dozen
families, from whom she drew occasion
ally something beyond the daily franc.
To some she gave but half a day; but
matters were so systematlzed that she
was rarely without work. Very con
venient the American boarder found
her for the ripping and cleaning OF
old gowns and the darning OF hose,
which, in her devotion to the monu-
ments of Paris, she had no time TO
touch.
Since the reign of bric-a-brac set in
we have professional busters In the
cities. 1t should be comparatively
simple to introduce also professional
members. Perhaps a difficulty would
arise as to the amount of payment,
since the women who mend for their
families do not roll in wealth, and even
so cents a day might seem to them ex-
travagance. And the sewing woman
who drags her life out On the same sum
boarding herself, would probably scorn
less. But, once give her patrons, she
might find her life both easier and more
beautiful; and the tired housemothers,
seeing the economy and the RELIEF,
would wonder why they did net do 1t
before. Under the present system the
thrifty women fret and tire themselves
over the endless task; the sentimentally
philanthropic and the unthrifty give
away, to the increase of poverty often,
and the old clos men profit by the I'M
providence of the bachelors and nus
bands.
A little more cooperation every
where would tighten women's work.
Here, for instance, in a town OF 2,O00
inhabitants, n woman for years made
her pin-money by the brewing of yeast
for her neighbors. She has gone out OF
the business now, her husband object
ing; and the women are left lamenting
the lost convenience. Yeast is plenty
at the grocery-patent yeast; but they
ali prefer the homemade when they car
get it. So. could they one get it, they
would prefer the neighborhood mender.

The Nilnis~erIng Hand.

Across the fields / saw her go,
A fair young maid of motion heeti
The falling petals drifted snow
Fron pale white blossoms grazed her
feet.
The morning breeze was fresh n clear.
Tbe blue sky crowned a perfect day,
While that fine chorus filled the ear,
Which makes the orchestra OF May
So r~osy-cheeked, so young and fair,
Her steps l noticed long and well,
And found they took her quickly, where
A suffering household CHANGED TO dwell
She bore within her baskets space,
Dainties and food for those in need
And all the sweetness OF her face,
1 saw reflected in her deeG.
She lifted up the hearts struck down
BY lifelong sorrow and despair,
And by her presence, shed around
Their humble home her love and Gaze.
She did not seem to make a task
Of what befell so fair and free:
Bnt nothing more could crushed hearts
ask,
Than her most welcome ministry.
Oh, there is beauty in the spring,
And strange delight in summer days
But oh, what joy one hand can bring
When touched by loves t~ranscendent
grace.

Mr.. Greeley never entirely lost the
rusticity of ways and manners acquired
In his boyhood. One who had found II
difficult to secure sufficient raiment for
tie austerities of q New England win
ter could not be expected to consult the
fashion plates very sedulously. The
whole matter, however, as such matters
are apt to be, was absurdly exaggerated.
He bought clothes enough, and e1-
pensive ones, but unfortunately he did
not know how to put them on. To
save his life he could not have tied his
.neck-cloth neatly, and if he lost his
buttons it might be necessary to remind
him of it, From the noise made about
this, one without due information
might suppose him the first dlstln-
guished man who cared little for ap'
parel. Without much trouble the names
of fifty might be given of those who
were negligent in the same way, with
DR.. Johnson at the head.
The superficial manners of Mr..
Greeley were those which a boy would
be likely to acquire in a rural country
or in the pursuit of a mechanical busi-
ness. Doubtless he had no arbitrary
graces and did not know when 1t was
proper for him to take off his hat and
when to put it on. If he had ever in
dulged in tea he might possibly have
poured it into the saucer to cool, and it
is Just possible that he might have used
his knife when he should have used his
fork. He might ever have been capable
of asking a second time for soup.
Judged, however, by one test, we do
not think that he could have been sub,
stantially an ill.bred man, Accomplished
women were fond of his society. He
was absent-minded, brusque, and plain
in speech, and SO a little forgetful OF
the artificial amenities; but Of the i'll
breeding which springs from a disre'
gard of the recognized rights of Others
he had none at all,

A Hollow Tree Full OF Trout.

A short time ago a singlar occur
rerce transpired at the wood camp on
Wolf Creek, Cal. The land on which
the timber is being cut is extremely
ragged and broken by huge powders
and rocky cliffs. Over these rocks the
little streams which form Wolf Greek
come tumbling down from their snowy
sources on the mountain tops. Near
one of these streams a couple of sturdy
woodsmen set to work to fell a large
pine tree which stood close to a high,
smooth wall OF granite. About thirty
feet from the foot of the tree, at which
point it seemed to be decayed, the
trunk divided into two large branches
one leaning over against the perpendic-
ular wall of rock. A small stream OF
water poured over the rock, and, fall
ing upon the limb. fell in spray down
along the sides of the tree. The water
made the woodchoppers' position very
uncomfortable, but they kept at their
work, and soon the tree began to totter
and fell with a resounding crash and
broke in twain, The men followed its
course with their eyes, but their gaze
turned to q stare of wonder and their
surprise found vent in a loud shout,
which ran from mouth to mouth and
sent its echoes ringing through the
mountains. "Flshl fish In the treel''
cried the woodmen, for from the top of
the tree poured a volume of water as 1t
fell, and with it a hundred or more
mountain trout, which were left sQuirm-
Ing and wrlggling helplessly upon the
stony ground. The excited woodchop-
pers crowded around and began to pick
up the fish as they could, all at a loss t.
account for the presence of the trout in
the tree top. The most plausible theory
Is that the water caused the tres to de-
cay and become hollow, and the fish,
being swept over the rock, fell down
into the tree. In whatever way theii
presence there may be accounted for,
J the sight Of the tree emptying itself Of
its lively contents was wonderful, il
not to say startling.
