Fith-As AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM, the
DAILY HONOLULU PRESS possesses
unequaled advantages, having retained all the
subscribers to the late Saturday Pres, in
addition to a new subscription list, which is
daily increasing, SO that the paper is not only
enjoying a large circulation in this city and
vicinity, but is also mailed by every steamer to
subscribers at almost every landing on the
other Islands, and also to foreign countries,
thus combining the advantages Of both daily
md weekly editions. The coming month,
especially, our paper will have a much large
circulation than all the other daily papers
combined, as we intend sending specimen
copies to every resident on these Islands
who reads English.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21-The House

as it will be reported:

The House on May "a by vote of 1C3 to 80,
passed the bill granting an increase of PEN
sion to the widow of Commodore L. A. M.
Craven. Under the call of states the follow
ing bills were introduced and referred: BY
Bland, of Missouri, to revive the income tax,
the proceeds to be applied to the payment OF
pensions. By Bennett, of North Carolina,
to divide the surplus money in the treasury
on June 1st. 1886, among the several stn'es
and territories for educational purposes The
house agreed to 60 into committee of the
whole, on the general revenue bills. The
first measure of this character on the
calendar was the Morrison tariff bill,
which was passed over without OBJ
lection. But a contest was made over
setting aside the next bill which
, was the internal revenue bill. The matter
was submitted to the house for its determi-
nation, and that body having decided, yeas
136, nays Sc, to pass over the internal reye-
nue. bill, the committee resumed its session,
and the oleomarGarine bill was then taken
up. Hammond, of Georgia, argued that
| the bill as measure to suppress the manu-
facture of oleomargarine was unconstitu-
tional. 1t was protection run mad. Mr..
Regain, of Texas, said that it was very
plain, both from the language of the blu,
and the arguments made in its support, that
the purpose of the bill was not revenue, hut
exclusion. It was legislation in favor of the
people who made butter, and against those
who made oleomargarine. The committee
then rose and the house adjourned.

Gretc Rich on Rat-7'yg les.

John McMahal, a year ago, lived in Q
desolute little shanty near T~wenty-sixtE
street. His subsistence was obtained by
the labor of his two daughters and the
sale of some little rat-traps which he
made. Finally he was taken sick and
was an invalid, as we'll as old and weak
and destitute. DR.. Samuel Woody at
tended him, and on his recovery obtained
a passage to Chicago for the three.
Nothing was heard of him again until
several days 'ago, when a well-dressed
man and two handsome young ladies
called at DR.. Woody's office on West
Walnut street. The trio proved to be
John McMahal and his daughters. AS
the old man shook his former b~enefactor
by the hand he told, in a few words, the
story Of his good fortune. He had soon
found employment in Chicago, and had
so far recovered his health as to be able
to earn a good living. One day he met a
wealthy gentleman and exhibited his
little trap, on which he had applied for a
patent. The following day a firm OF
which the wealthy mar was a member,
bought the invention for s., 900 cash and
a 10 per cent. royalty. He returned to
Louisville several days ago, and has rent
ed a neat little cottage near the scene of
his former misery.-LouisuiM Courier

Points about Pearls.

Some of the very largest pearls that
have ever been discovered, says a writer
in the San Francisco Call, have been
taken from the gulf of California. In the
bay of Muleje a pearl weighing 100 carats
was taken-it was as large as a small egg;
while pearls weighing from twenty to
forty carats are OF frequent occurrence.
And then, again, we have in our waters
the rare black pearl SO highly priced By
eonnoisseurs. | remember seeing a black
pearl which was fished out from the San
Lorenzo channel which weighed % carats
and sold for So, 900. Pearls are of diff
ferent c%olors, from the pure-white to the
delicate rose-tinted and to the pale-green.
It cannot be said which of these is the
most valuable, as prices depend greatly on
the capriees of fashion.
Certainly pearls are priced by the Mex
leans. 1t is common to see girls there
with strings Of pearls around their necks
which would fetch a large price in Lon
don. /, myself. know women in La Paz
who have pearls of extraordinary value,
and sometimes they are sopoor that they
have not the wherewithal to buy food.
OF course, you will say that they should
sell, and undoubtedly they do, but a sale
effected from such a woman is tantamount
to wholesale robbery. I will give you an
instance: There was a poor naked diver
once fished up q pearl which was valued
on the spot at So, 600. Well, he got
hard up, as usual, and ch%eerfully gave
away this gem for the Insignificant sum
of $3.50.
