any have doubts as to the method pur.
sued by this eminent official, let them
proceed along either King or Queen
street, or both streets, and they will be
speedily convinced,
Of course all will admit that the
proper course to pursue will be for the
Legislature to establish grades through
out the city, which ignorant road
supervisors cannot destroy; but
in the mean time it is the plain duty of
those in authority to protect the peo-
pies rights and property by putting
somebody in charge Of the roads, who
has common sense enough to follow
the ordinary methods of road building,
where property owners have followed
the natural grade in building.

SATURDAY MAY "a. 1886.

THE bill to raise the price of mar
riage licenses should be rejected by the
Assembly The sum charged now
two bits is quite high enough, and to
think of raising it to one dollar is
heart-rending. There is many young
couple in the country who wouldn't
mind chipping in rial each to pur-
chase the document authorizing them
to become man and wife, who, if they
had to raise a hapalua each would
so to speak The disposition
of the House is to raise most every
thing Salaries are raised, loan bill
has been introduced by which money
will be raised, points of order are very,
very frequently raised, and now if the
marriage license fee is raised, in the
opinion of many the old boy
himself will be raised What we
need to do is to encourage
the rising population, and anything
that tends to discourage us from doing
so in legitimate manner should be sat
upon. Therefore this bill should
be raised from the table--and razed
out OF existence.

MUCH complaint has been heard of
late about the Road Supervisors work.
These complaints come, most gener-
ally, from property owners and lease
holders who are confronted with the in
consistencies of the present road build
ing method every time they leave or
enter their gates. We are informed
that there is no official grade estab-
lished in Honolulu; and that in at
tempting to reconcile road building
with the natural grade, the Road Super
visor is constantly committing grievous
improprieties which highly recommend
him for official decapitation for the
common good.
Our attention has been called to this
system of stair building, which has
been followed by this eminent official
for some time past on several Of the
prominent streets throughout the city,
The prospect, we freely admit, is not an
alluring one. In some places the
natural grade has been raised until the
result has been a series of duck
ponds on both sides of the
street, commonly called lots by those
who own them, which are greatly
deprecated in value owing to the sense
less action of the Road Supervisor
The people have protested, but all il
vain; this eminent official is allpowerfu
over the peoples rights as property
owners. So it remains; and the auto
cratic mud king continues his stail
building to the destruction, or at less
depreciation, of now valuable lots. 1

Mr.. LOCKE RICHARDSON gave the
first of series of recitations at the Y.
M. c. A. Hall last evening to an audi
ence who, we venture to say, were all
highly pleased. The high praise be-
slowed upon the gentleman's recita-
tons by the leading papers in the
United States prepared our Honolulu
critics for something much beyond the
usual style of entertainments Of this
character given here; and we have no
doubt but that all we're fully satisfied.
To the students Of Dickens works
those who have read and still read his
beautiful creations, the recitation of the
"Christmas Carol" was like the graphic
portrayal of a familiar scene. The
characters we have read of were before
us, and "Tiny Tim" especially claimed
our sympathy, not unaccompanied with
tears.
Such recitals make US all more fam
iliar with the great character Of fclien
and history, and do much towards
enabling us to realize that they once
lived and moved and had their being.
One word in relation to the time Of
arrival at the hall. Those who intend
to listen to the recitations should be in
thier seats a few minutes before the
advertised time of commencement
The speaker must wait for quiet, and
having once begun should not be dis
turbed by late arrivals.

STRUCK BY A FALLING STAR.

As q gentleman, well-known
public official, was passing from st.
James Park into Pail Mall by the
garden wall of Marlborough House,
on Saturday last, at 4:45 in the
afternoon, he suddenly received on
the right shoulder q violent blow,
accompanied by a loud cracking
noise, which caused him great pain
and to stumble forward as he
walked. On recovering his footing,
and turning around to see who had
so unceremoniously struck him, he
found that no one was on the pave
ment but himself and the policeman
on duty at the park end of it. On
reaching home the shoulder was sub
mitted to examination, but nothing
was at first discovered to account
for the pain in it. But in little
while the servant who had taken
away the coat to brush brought it
back to point out that over the right
shoulder the nap was pressed down
flat in long strai ght line, exactly
as if hot wire had been sharply
drawn across the cloth. The acci-
dent is therefore explained as hav-
ing been caused by the explosion If
a minute falling star or meteor. t
is an unprecedented and most inter
esting occurrence, and deserves.
think, to be placed on public
record. - London Times.

A HAVANA ROMANCE.

Among the men of a Spanish
regiment sent to Havana about two
years ago, was certain young
Galician, raw recruit, who became
prey to the most intense form of
nostalia after very brief sojourn
in that lovely, but feverish land,
which has already devoured more
than 100000 soldier lives. The
young recruits condition became
desperate-then changed suddenly
into catalepsy. All efforts to re-
vive him proved useless; finally the
physicians attempted to sustain life
by forcing open the soldiers mouth
and pouring milk into his stomach.
The effort was successful; and life
was maintained week after week by
artificial means. But still the trance
could not be broken. Six months
passed, and the soldier had neither
spoken nor moved. His limbs, inert
but flexible, preserved any position
into which they were thrown-he
would remain sitting if placed in
sitting posture, or even standing, if
perfectly balanced upon his feet;
but otherwise he continued lifeless
as a statue. After the lapse of one
whole year there was no change in
his condition. Fifteen months
passed-eighteen months-an I'M
precedented phenomenon
Then one of the attending physi-
clans sent for muneira Ca popular
stringed instrument peculiar to
Northern Spain), and ordered n
fellow-countryman of the patient to
play some of the old mountain airs
upon it. The effect of the music
was like witchcraft; the fixed eyes
frightened, the long-torpid muscles
of the face began to quiver with
such trembling as the dead might
feel at the first great summons of
the resurrection. Astonished, the
physician bade the musician con-
tinue; while another compatriot took
the sufferers unresisting hand and
talked to him in the dialect of his
own mountain village. He neither
moved nor spoke, but the tears be-
gan to stream from his eyes so pro-
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1886-08-04

ment is averse to its policy. 1t
would be strange indeed if the pub
lie patronized a journal opposed to
its sentiment in preference to an
organ that voiced its views! The
truth is reached by n change of the
sentence so as to read, "what the
Opposition organs condemn is gen.
orally condemned by the public" "
We would be thankful indeed to
know "that this country has ceased
to be an experimental political farm
for few governing families. "
This is precisely the thing we have
longed and pleaded for, but have
seen the ''few governing families"
growing fewer still, until they can
be counted on less than the fingers
of one hand, and enough could not
be found a few weeks ago to fill four
Cabinet positions, necessitating the
putting there of two strangers with
no interest in the country or know
ledge of its people. We should
dearly like to see this family ar
rangement broken up, and public
affairs placed on a broad and liberal
basis. But have not that lively
faith in the government organ to
believe in the actual existence of a
condition which has not yet come to
pass. We cannot believe words
without sense. The insinuation that
those who are opposed to the pre-
sent "family government are de-
sirous of selling the independence
of the country is as cowardly as
false. Such contemplate reflections
on honorable men recoil on the men
who are so dishonorable as to make
them. The Adcertiser's puny effort
in that quarter is like mouse
nibbling at an archangel's wing.

UNAPPRECIATED GALLANTRY.

Tom Corwin asserted one day in
his committee room that it was
never safe TO interfere between hus.
band and wife, and in support of
his declaration narrated an instance
which occurred when he was ami
mated by the ardor and chivalry of
youth. Travelling in n little-fre-
quented rural district he came upon
cabin from behind which he heard
the angry voice of man mingled
with the screams of woman, and
at regular intervals hickory sing
ing through the air as if well laid
on. He rode round to get sight of
the cause of all this clamor, when
he saw burly-looking fellow
thrashing his wife like fury with a
stick too formidable to be within the
meaning of the statute. On seeing
our friend the belligerent suspended,
the "skower of timber" ceased to
fall, and there was great calm of a
few moments duration. The young
man, whose wrath had suddenly

fusely that, fearing the result of too
much emotion, the experiment was
stopped. Then two days later the
n'uneird was again brought in, and
the signs of life increased with its
playing; the face resumed its natural
color, the gaze its intelligence, the
brain its functions. And gradually,
after many days of this musical
healing, vital force returned, and
the soldier, once more well and
strong, was able to leave the hos
pital forever.
Needless to relate what a profound
feeling this incident produced among
the Spaniards of Havana-all of
whom doubtless love their native
land not less dearly than the simple
soldier whose affection for it had so
nearly condemned him to the grave,
and who had been literally awakened
from the death sleep by the voice of
that land, speaking to him across
the broad seas through the clumsy
chords of muneira. But these
Spaniards have charming and i'm
pulsive way of exhibiting sympathy {;
they do not merely utter words and
extend hands. In this case they
made the object of their interest a
happy man-richer than most of his
people at home, for he carries back
with him to his mountain village the
snug little sum of So, ,000-quite Il
fortune for any Galician peasant.
Spite of revolution, fever, bad
government and financial loss, the
bond that fastens Cuba to Spain will
not be easily broken, it is a bond of
flesh stronger than tether of STEEL
Love is better safeguard of the
foreign interests of the mother coun-
try than are bayonets; and since
the day when Spanish ladies in Cuba
cut their beautiful hair to weave it
into the portrait of patriot, the
affection of the Spanish colonists for
Spain has lost none of its noble fire.
