Our campaigning contemporary is
like a spoiled baby, very hard TO
please. On Monday, the steamers
of the line for which Messrs. Hack
field & Co. are agents were described
as "ocean tramps. Yesterday,
again, there appeared an Indignation
item in the same paper, over the fact
that the agents had withdrawn an
advertisement announcing the depar-
ture of one of the ocean tramps"
on the 18th of December last! If
the fighting editor of the Oceanic
Steamship Company's organ had not
been in the Jumps" he might
have seen that the withdrawal of
that dead advertisement was just
the right thing to do in response to
his own warning that the Hackfelds
in advertising "occan tramps" were
"imperilling the treaty."

The native military organizations
are threatened with having "their
noses cut Off" at the next session
of the Legislature, if their members
do not support Lilikalani, one of the
Government candidates for Homo
lulu, who is very unpopular with
the young warriors. Our rulers
may possibly obtain an exemplifica-
ton of the historical fact that an
army cannot always be put to base
uses with impunity. 1t will be in
place for independent canvassers to
advise the militiamen to receive all
threats calmly, pocket all favors
quietly, and vote for the men OF
their intelligent choice. They are
safe in doing so under the provi'
sions of the ballot.

Mix the ground coffee with half as much

settle. Pour off the coffee to another

prey upon their crops, they would be
much better prepared to battle with
them. Take, for instance, the large,
black squash bug which makes its APP

size, and if left alone will surely de-
stroy them. The observing farmer
will notice that the eggs are deposited
on the under side of the leaves in
groups, which can easily be crushed,
and thus destroyed. He will also OBJ

The Pathetic Story Which Has Made 1t
Singular Among Bells.
The city of Breslau lately celebrated
the five hundredth anniversary of an
occurrence which was memorable in
the history of the town, and is known
wherever German poetry finds a home.
The bell which hangs in the southern
tower of st. Mary Magdalen's church,
and is named est Mary's bell" but is
usually known as "the poor sinners
bell, rang out morning and evening
on the 18th of July to remind all who
heard it that it was cast on that day
five hundred years ago. Next day,
Sunday, the preacher reminded his
congregation of the pathetic story
which has made it singular among bells
how, when all was ready for the
casting. the bell founder withdrew for
few moments, leaving boy in charge
of the furnace, warning him not to
NEEDLE with the catch that Sc
cured the seething metal in the
caldron. But the boy disregarded the
caution, and then, terrified on seeing
the molten metal beginning to flow
into the mold, called to the bell
founder for help. Rushing in and see
ing what he had intended to be his
masterpiece ruined, as he thought, an
gered to madness, he slew the boy on
the spot. When the metal had cooled
and the mold was opened, the bell
was found to be an exquisite work,
perfect in finish, and of marvellous
sweetness of tone. Coming to his
senses. he recognized his bloody work,
and straightway gave himself up to the
magistrates. 'Blood for blood was
the law; he was condemned to die, and
he went to his doom while his beauti-
full bell pealed an invitation to all tc

Many persons suppose horses under
stand spoken language. The prob
ability is they do not. The language
of the horse is more by signs than by
voice. They, however, understand
tones and signs perfectly, or can be
made so to do. lis the tone, therefore,
that should be cultivated in training
horses, and in fact, all animals, and
these tones should always be low
Hence the reins and the whip should
be used principally as signals; the voice
to indicate action or inaction. The
latter should whoa or "ho," to stop;
"back" to back up; cluck to indicate
going forward 'get on or Ego on, I"
to indicate increased speed, and
''steady" to slow up. In this the en-
phasis is always to be on the last word
when more than one is used.
There is, however, no objection to
talking to horses. They like to hear
the sound of the human voice. The
first thing a colt should be taught is to
know his name, and to come promptly
at the call. Give them some thing they
ike-a lump of sugar or a slice of
carrot-when they come. They will
soon learn what the call means and be
eager to obey. Then talk to them

shoulder Horses especially like being
slightly scratched under the name.
In training to the saddle the reins
are not to be used to pull the horse
about, and particularly if it be sharp

galloping and to be lowered in trotting
and the bride is to be swerved against
one or the other side of the neck in
turning. With no bit, when the horse
is going at ease, is there to be more re-
straint used than just enough, so the
mouth of the horse may be lightly felt.
Especially in the saddle must the rider
understand the sci nee of equitation.
The grip of the saddle must be by the

signs of what the horse is to do. in CON

THE SEA-SERPENT.

Mythical Monster in 1857.


Mythical Monster In 1857.
This account of the sea serpent is
from Bishop Pontoppidon's Natural
History of Norway, published in
London, A. D. 1867:
"The sea snake is monster seldom
seen, even on the coast of Norway,
though this coast is the only place in
the world where it is seen at all. In
my Inquiries about this monster | have
hardly spoken with any intelligent
person born in the manor of Norland

answer concerning it and strong as.
surances of its existence, and some of
the traders coming yearly to Bergen
think it as ridiculous to doubt its exist
ence as that of an eel or a cod. We
have the statement of Captain Laurence
de Ferry. a Commander in the navy,
who disbelieved in it till he was con
vinced by ocular demonstration. His
statement is in substance as follows:
That in very calm, hot day in August,
1746, being in boat with eight rowers
at Juleness, while reading, he heard a
noise among the men and observed that
the helmsman kept off from the land.
On inquiring the cause he was told that a
sea snake was before them. He or
dered them to come up with it, which
they did, though afraid The snake
passed by them, and they tackled to get
nearer to it. As it swan faster than
they could row the captain discharged
q GSn at it and the snake Immediately
sank without rising again, and as the
water about it appeared thick and red
and as the distance was small, the cap
tain thinks it might have been wounded.
The head, which it held more than two
feet above the water, resembled a
horses. 1t was gray, with quite
black and very large mouth, had black
eyes and 3 long name. Besides the
head and neck they saw seven or eight
folds Of the snake, which were very
thick, and as far as they could guess
there was the distance of fathom be-
tween them Two of the rowers in
habitants of Bergen, deposed in court
on the 22d of February, 1751, to the

Neatness in Girls.

Neatness is good thing for girl,
and if she does not learn it when she
is young, she never will. 1t takes a
great deal more neatness to make a
girl look well than it does to make a
boy look passable. Not because boy,
to start with, is better looking than a
girl, but his clothes are of differe MT
sort, not so many colors in them; and
people don't expect boy to look so
pretty as a girl. A girl that is not
neatly dressed is called a sloven, and
no one likes to look at her. Her face
may be pretty, and her eyes bright, but
if there is a spot of dirt on her cheek,
and her fingers ends are black with
ink, and her shoes are not laced or
buttoned up, and her apron is dirty,
and her collar is not buttoned, and her
skirt is torn, she can not be liked.

MOrrisOn's Tariff Bill.
lT rs LIKELY TO BE DEFEATED IN THE HOUSE
-DEMoCRATs VINO WILL VoTE AGAINST 1T.

A special from Washington to the Phlla-
delphia Press SAYS: There is every indica-
ton that Mr.. Morrison's tariff bill will be
beaten. The signs of its defeat are so certain
that many democrats predict it will not be
pressed to a vote and that the Hewett Admin
istrative bill simply will be urged in the
House. Mr.. Randall is, at last. out in open
opposition to the Morrison BILL and both he
and the Chairman of the Ways aud Means
Committee have to-day been engaged in con-
sultation with doubtful democrats, and argu-
ments why they should and should not vote
for the bill were presented by the democratic
rivals.
Various statements have been published re-
garding the standing of the democratic dele
CATION from different states on the bill. From
a member of the House. who has made a
careful canvass among his friends, it is
learned that three members of the Louisiana
delegation will vote against the bill, one will
vote for it and the vote of Representative
King is in doubt The action of the commit
tee in modifying the large reduction on sugar
originally contained in the Morrison scheme
did not, as he hoped, induce the Louisiana
men to come 10 the support of his measure.
Eleven democratic votes will be cast against
the bill from Ohio. Seven will probably be
cast against it from Pennsylvania and eight
New York representatives will oppose it,.
Three hostile democratic votes will he cast
in the New Jersey delegation. Henley, the
only democratic member of the California
delegation. is bitterly opposed to the meas
ure, and accuses Mr.. Morrison of having de-
ceived him. Dibble. of South Carolina, will
oppose the bill. West Virginia will cast
two votes against 1t, and three Texas demo-
Gratis will also be in the negative.
Thus thirty-nine democratic votes are
counted as certain against the bill and only
twenty-sne are required to defeat it, Besides
this, however, there are two doubtful votes
from Missouri, two from Michigan, two
from Virginia, one from Alabama, one from
Georgia. two from Texas and one from Mary
land, making total of eleven. The chances
for the passage of the bill at the present
time seem very slim indeed.
