FUN AND FANCY.

There is only one thing that is
more treacherous at times than a
woman, and that is a sprinkling cart
going over crossing.
Mrs Parsons says that all the con-
demned anarchistslpf Chicago want is
justice. 1t is hoped they will get it
without further delay.
"Papa," said a little fve-year-old,
pointing to turkey gobbler, strutting

In recipe for "Dresed Potatoes"
we learn that their "jackets" must be
taken off. If it is necessary TO undress
potatoes in order to 'dress" them, they
should be called "full-dressed" pota
toes.
A Washington lawyer who went over
into Virginia the other day to try case
was hit terrible blow on the cheek by
one Of the opposing counsel. The as
sailant sustained severe injuries to his
hand.
A Pittsburg doctor says that the
reason why no one ever sees profes-
sional tramp with a, hard cold is be-
cause they never wash their feet. We
ion't wonder that they are avoided by
all respectable diseases.

A Church Burnt.

St Peters Church, Pittsbnrg, Penn,
was burned on the night of November
18th. 1t was one of the finest in Amer
lea. The edlfce is of stone and cost,
when ready for its interior furnishing,
$r2s,ooo. The cost of finishing and
furnishing added to the cost Of the
building almost $4,000. The fres-
Going was of the finest, as, indeed, was
every particle of furniture. On the
walls were fourteen oil paintings descrip-
tive of the life of the Savior, which
we're imported for church. The organ,
which was one of the best in the two
cities, cost $500, and the altar, with
its furnishings, about $1,000. The
stained glass windows were all meme
rials. In the altar was number of
valuable relics from Rome and also the
archives of the church, which were
saved. When the fire burned itself
out, only the walls were standing and
over $I3o,ooo had gone up in smoke.

WEDNESDAY, DEcEMB'R 5, 1885,
PRESS PRIVILEGES.

The Bulletin the other day had an
article severely criticising the managers
of public events for their want of con-
sIderation to the press. While the
structures were in the main just, excep-
ton should be made of several institu-
tons and many public officials in
Honolulu, which and who are always
extremely obliging in furnishing facill-
ties for reporting and in rendering legi-
innate information to the press. Con
ductors of newspapers and their staff
recognize the courtesy shown them in
these particulars, and would acknowl
edge it more frequently but from feai
that the gentlemanly instincts produc-
ing such conduct would shrink frou
the publicity of printed mention
However, the influence Of newspapers
is always likely to be thrown, on oppor,
tunity, in favor of fpersons who have dis
covered to the press the qualities that
make men favored Of the public. Those
who affect to treat the press as an institu
ton beneath their lordly consideration
are the ones who whine the most pite-
eusly whenever anything they are con
nected with comes up for unfavorable
review or is neglected in the public
prints

London Opinion on the New York Laboi
Vote.

The London Tines, commenting on
the election in New York, says: Ii
shows the opponents of anarchy and
spoliation have not awakened too soon
10 the perils of the situation. Both the
Democratic and Republican parties
suffered. The danger is that these
losses will tempt the machine men to
traffic with the promoters OF Georges
candidature to advance and meet the
demands of predatory socialism. Amer
leans must look to it lest the appeals OF
demagogues to the half-instructed, rest
less artisans in the great cities should
inflict damage upon the public credit
and paralyze the productive resources
of the country.
The ST. James Gazette says of the
vote for George; 1t is a significant
and unpleasant fact that in the great
American city of New York such 3
large proportion of workingmen ar,
prepared to vote for the gospel of con-
fiscation. The election should cause
all respectable Americans to forget tn.
trumpery of party fights and political
indilferentism and face the new danger
that is threatening the common
wealth.
The Pail Mall Gazette, speaking OF
the Mayoralty contest in New York,
says: The vote for Henry George is
by far the most important political
event of the day. 1t is message Of
hope from the new world to the old,
an unexpected light bursting forth in 0
dark place. Henry George is visionary,
an ideallst, and utterly impracticable,
but were he as mad as a March hare,
all the same the votes for him mean 3

an old woman. We had been shiver.

Cheapness of Money in Georgia

lfrom the Atlanta Constitution
The cheapness OF money Is remarka-
bic. A gentleman who has a consider
able sum to invest says: "The best /
can see is the Georgia A. per cent.
bond, which can be had at a triie
above par. Money is going begging.
know that an Atlanta man has re-
fused, IN the last few DAYS. a loan
OF 100000 that was offered him at
3 per cent. The 3 per cent. bonds OF
Connecticut are above par, and rank
higher than British Consols. The
Massachusetts As sell for 1877. The
Georgia ~ per cents offer the best in
ducements to investors"
1t is notable that thedecreasingr rate
OF interest has affected the syndicates
that offer money on real estate. The
rate OF 8 per cent. is still maintained,
but the commissions and other ex-
penses have been cut down until
money costs from 2 to 3 per cent. less
on real estate loans than it did q year
ago. Gov. Brown has made several
contracts on city real estate that net
him 6 per cent. He offers to build up
any vacant property he has for any
tenant who Will take the building for
ten years, pay taxes, keep it in repair,
and give him 8 per cent. net on the
cost OF ground and building. He has
several large buildings leased on these
terms.

bee Notes.

The one-pOund section of honey is
everywhere a favorite in home mark
cts. In some places two-pound sec
lions viii sell, and in some places half
pounds Will command more than
pounds, yet, all in all, the pounds seem
best. II all would use one-pound sec
tlons, it would not only serve the
market better, but if all used 41,x4l,-
inch sections, the finest poplar or
spruce sections could be sold for 50. so
per thousand.
Mr.. Dooittle said the fourrequisites
to a large harvest of comb honey were:
good queens, strong colonies at dawn
OF harvest, expert apiarist and good
hives. Good queens cost much, but
We're worth their cost. A few strong
colonies were worth more than MANY
weak ones. Only the expert can get a
good harvest Ofcomb honey. Thehive
must be so made as to secure strong
colonies early.
Full sheets OF foundation in the sec
lions make the combs even. The rea.-
son the combs are stronger is that the
sections are better filled and thee combs
thoroughly united on every side. It
is said that most bee-keepers use full
sheets OF foundation in the sections.

PiOus Frauds.

The ubiquitous swindler is fertile in
his plans for catching the unwarv.
The following is reported: A chap in
clerical broadcloth and white choker
enters farmhouse and asks for lodg-
ing or dinner, as the case may be. Dur
ing his stay he announces himself as a
travelling Bible distributor, in the ser
vice Of religious institution, and he
generally goes so far as to present to
the family handsome Bible from a
well-tilled valise. He is careful to say
that his society requires distributing
members to pay their own way, and
exhibits vouchers for money SO ex-
pended. After partaking of the good
folks hospitality, he prepares to
leave, and asks for his bill. He is GEN
orally told that no charges are made,
but he calls attention to "the rules. ;"
and insists on paying 25 cents per
meal. Then lie mildly requires a re-
ceipt on his blank, las a voucher, you
know" and gets the farmer to sign it.
In ninety days there is a notice from
a neighbOring bank to the pious farm
er asking him to call and pay the note
for $156.25, which it bought, and
which has the farmers signature.

ButterinR.

Dalrymen can now realize what is
called 1.-The glorious uncertainty OF the
law" The supreme courts in four
states have passed upon the constitu-
tiOnality OF the laws enacted by the
legislatures of those states, prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of but
terlne. The highest judicial authori-
ties IN New York and in Minnesota
have soiemnly declared that it is law
full to concoct a vile imitation of but
ter from fat rendered from the bodies
OF diseased animals, or from any 9TH
er greasy substance. The high state
courts OF Missouri and Pennsylvania
have taken directly opposite ground,
and sustain the conStitutionality of
the state laws prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale OF this unhealthy
compound. When newspapers dis
agree, people can pay their money and
take their choice, reading both sides
and forming their own opinions. But
these contrary opinions from the
bench cloud a grave question with
doubt, and can but cause much injury
to the dairy interests of the country.
II the manufacturers of oleomargarine
and butterine find their occupation
gone in a state where it has been de-
clared illegal, they can move across
the line to another state, and there
carry on their traffic. Ways can al
ways be found 20 introduce the prod
uCt into those states where its manu-
facture is forbidden, and thus all re-
strictive legislation is rendered nuga-
tory. 1t is to be hoped that the ques-
ton will be carried up to the supreme
court and properly argued there, that
it may be settled on some certain basis.
The decision of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania, upholding the constitu-
tlOnality of ELECTROMAGNETIC legisla-
ton, appears to be sound in law and
common sense, and could it be con-
frmed by the supreme court of the
United States, it would protect the
now troubled interests of the dairy
men.
