HILo, October 28th

HHO, October 28th
1t is hoped some enterprising life in
surance agent will come and visit Hilo
to insure the lives of the inhabitants, not
from earthquake or lava flow, but from
injury by horses-kicked to death or
otherwise injured The streets have a
crowd of horses in them each night.
The Poundmaster ought to look after
them.
c. T. Aiona, the temperance Chinese
merchant of Hilo, is erecting a large
storehouse in front of his store, over the
bay side Of the street, which will, with
several other buildings, obstruct the
view of the beautiful bay. How many
more buildings will be allowed to be
erected is not known. The citizens GER
tainly protest against the erection of any
more shanties, Chinese or native, on the
bay side.
Jules Tavernier's grand picture of the
great crater Kilauea has been visited by
all interested in craters and each sees
new beauties in it, and becomes more
and more satisfied that the picture is
perfection. No one has been there more
often or studied Kilauea more than Mr.
Tavernier. In the hands of such an
artist it could not fail to be perfect in all
respects He has had much experience
in painting panOramas in Europe. The
point of view in this panorama is about
the same as it would be to a tourist
looking from the center of the crater.
The picture is painted in such = manner
that the fire of the New Lake and Hale
maumau seen by lamp or gaslight looks
like molten lava itself, and seen by day
light it is beautiful with the morning
light just breaking and lighting up the
snow-capped tops of Mauna LOa and
Mauna Kea. The spectator stands on
solid lava, as he would in the center of
the crater The view of the solid walls
of the crater is very grand. This grand
panorama will, without doubt, attract
much attention. 1t is true in every de-
tail. People who visit it will linger for
hours, 10th to leave a picture 50 true to
life J. A NJ.

ISLAND NOTES.

LAHAINA, Octob or Doth.
The Jolly times we had last week hav-
ing ended, Lahaina has now settled
down to its normal condition, that Of
extreme quiet.
Some nice showers fell last Wednes-
day evening, the first rain We have had
for a very long time. Cane here IS
growing rapidly, and bids fair 10 yield
the owners heavy crop.
At Olowalu some OF the cane fields do
not look so promising, owing to a want
OF water, and it is said that they will
begin TO grind sooner than usual, in
order to save such cane as does not re-
ceiye sufficient water. They expect
about 700 tons, while for the year 1888
the plantation bids fair for a much
larger output, on account OF a more ex-
tended acreage.
Governor Baker is the right man in
the right place. Most Of his time, so
far, has been occupied in visiting his
people, more particularly the aged and
infrm, making inquiries as to their
wants, and where necessary assisting
them. A resident Governor is what the
island has needed for long time, and
there is every prospect of the present in
cumbent becoming very popular man.
The salary, however, would seem some
what inadequate for one occupying
position where it frequently becomes
necessary to dip into ones pocket for
charitable purposes.
Our worthy Judge is still absent on
the other side attending to tax appeals.
He is expected back next week.

of wearing caps from the Phrygians,
but they were only worn b freedmen.
When 8 slave was set free, a red cap
called the pileus, was put on his head,
and this was a token of his manu-
mission. When s~atnranius took the

Grants RgEigiOn.

in recalling recently the religion:
training and experience Of General
Grant, DIR. Newman said:
He was brought up in the Metho-
| dist Episcopal Church. His fathers
house was the home of Methodist
preachers for owe ten years. The
| generals earliest recollect!ons weFe
associated with the clergy. He had to
| care for their horses. He remembered
that the horses were good ones. and
that their owners always insisted on
their having plenty Of oats. Many a
time he was sent out by his father to
take off the saddlebags and put up the
horses. Once a preacher was to move
from the neighborhood in which the
Grants lived. He was to take his fam
lily and furniture in a wagon for zoe
miles, and wanted some one to drive
for him. Applying to the generals
father for a driver, the old gentleman
detailed Ulysses, then a lad, for that
work. Afterward the preacher re,
ported to the boys father that he new
er in his life had he had such a good
and silent driver.
The generals father was a farmer
at that time. In later years he lived
at Covington, KY. He was
churchgoer always, serving in
the Methodist church as trustee. stew.
ard and class leader. Wherever he
went he was a ruling spirit In church
affairs. He was a man of sterling
character, strong will, high purpose,
and at times arbitrary. His mother
was modest, intelligent and sunny in
spirit. The general inherited her ma
tnre. All of his sisters were devoui
M~ethodists. One of them Mrs. Cralner.
married a Methodist preacher, 10Y
the minister of the government al
Berne, Switzerland.
"yhe general was thus indoctrinateo
in the faith of the church. He held
to those great principles of Christiani.
ty all his life. Accepting the Bible al
the word of God to man, he regarded
Christianity as divine. But his mind
tended to the sunny side of Chris
tianity. The b%enefcent results
of the Gospel promised to him the
glory of the Messiah, the universal
triumph of Christianity"

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN
Health Hints,


When an artery is cut, the rel blood
spurts out at each pulsation. Pres:
the thumb firmly over the artery, near
the wound, and on the side toward the
heart. Press hard enough to stop the
bleeding, and wait till a physician
comes. The wounded person is often
able to do this himself, if he has the
requisite knowledge.
One of the most simple Group RENE,
dies is the greasing of a bib. and then
covering with grated nutmeg and put
ting around neck of child when any
symptom of a eroupy cough appears.
Keep it on for a week or more and then
take off and put on a flannel n for a
day or two.
A very effective remedy for palpita
tion Of the heart. is powdered mother.
wort mixed in molasses. Take IL tea
spoonful occasionally.
An excellent remedy for lame back
is beef's gall and brandy, equal parts.
1t is a sure cure for lumbago.
In the daytime plants and oil vege-
table life give off oxygen, which is
necessary for mans life and health.
AT night they reverse the process and
evolve carbonic acid gas, which is
poisonous to man. This is the reason
that plants are always objected to in
sleeping rooms. Man absorbs OXYGEN
and gives out earbonic acid gas from
his lungs at all times. P~ettenkofer
has shown that two dozen plants give
off as much of this gas as is exhaIed
by one baby sleeper. Sleeping r olns
should always be well ventilated.
