is insured for five hundred Thousand
dollars.
Buffalo Bill says he is genuine
American and during his brief stay in
England he was in no sense affected
by the Anglo-mania craze. 1t takes a
great effort to rub out the American
ism of the true Western man.
Of the artists at Paris, says a cor
respondent: Meissonier is only about
four feet high, with long gray beard;
Gerome is a large man; Detaille,
young and handsome; Cabonel, beauti-
full and old, while Carolus Duran is
wild and gypsy-looking.
Prof. George +. Holmes, of the
University Of Virginia, attributes
his excellent health-especially his
freedom from headaches and stomach
ailments-to the free use of the

He eats it with his food and OCCASION
ally takes it in pills.
An English resident of Paris says
he knows intimately almost all the
literary men in Paris, and that, in
spite of the fact that French literature
scarcely makes any other effort than
to show that the marriage tie is intol-
cradle, the authors mostly lead mar
ried lives of the utmost respectable
ity."
Speaking of the curiosity of great
men, Philadelphian says that he has
seen Austin Corbin stand in a crowded
throughfare and watch the maripula~
tions of street fakir who was trying
to call attention to something new in
tooth powder" while at another time
he saw Senator Quay gaze for long
time with interest upon a lineman
climbing a telegraph pole.
General CIV. H. Harrison is said
to have taught in a Sunday school on
the banks Of the Ohio river, and was
there with his class on the Sabbath
before leaving to occupy the Pfesi-
Dental mansion. As he was about
going to Washington his servant con-
suited him about the best manner of
his fruit from the ravages
of the boys. His reply was: "Get a
Sabbath school teacher to take care of
them"
The Indian school at Carlisle, Pa,
has the Oldest pupil of any educational
Institution in the United States. He is
more than sixty years OF age. Crazy
Head is his name, and he was once |
Chief of the Grow Nation. He was a
bold warrior and an able ruler. He is
anxious to learn the ways of white
men, and is now receiving Instructions
n blacksmithing. During the coming
winter he will attend school. He is
nan in vigorous health and has
more refined face that is often found
n his race. He is docile and patient,
md there is something almost pathetic
Lbout his longing to learn the Gus
oms of civilization before he dies.

farmer in comfortat circumstances.
The parties have been married thirty
years. Among other charges, the plaint-

THE Bill relative to pounds and estrays
raised some talk in the House lately,
chiefly referring to the height of fences.
The present law makes it necessary for
a land owner to prove his fence was five
feet high, before he can recover any
thing for damages from the incursions OF
stock. The clause is treacherous one,
for most fences will be found to fall
little below that figure. 1t is also pub
lie nuisance, as setting a premium on
the high ugly fences with which these
Islands are everywhere defaced. In
town like Honolulu, the beauty of the
place largely depends on the character
of the fences, and law which encour-
ages ugliness in this regard must have
some other very strong justification, if it
is allowed to remain in force.

Tomorrow evening the last of Mrs.
Williams interesting series of evening
lectures will be given, and everyone who
has not yet had the opportunity of hear
ing Mrs. Williams, is urged not to lose
this final opportunity. The subject
Arthur Schapenhauer-although appar-
emily rather forbidding one, will be
found in reality not so, but on the con-
trary one which lends itself naturally to
brilliant and popular treatment. Scha-
penhauer is the one German philosopher,
for that matter, prominently the phil
Osopher of all times who comes in con-
tact with life at all points. This gives
him an intense practical and human in
terest. Add to this his splendid literary
qualities, his eloquence and wit, the
universal currency of his ideas, his
morbid and eccentric personality, his
self-centered and solitary life, and you
have as spicy and attractive topic for
an evening talk as can well be imagined.

might only be exercised by and with the
consent and approval of the Cabinet.
This would put it where it practically
resides in England. To remove all
doubt, Article 70 was drawn and put
into the Constitution. But the Supreme
Court has by it's decision so in terpreted
the fundamental law, that the veto power
resides in the King as personal pre-
rogative The Supreme Court evidently
believed that the King would in fact
consult the Cabinet and be advised and
controlled by it, as to the exercise OF
this power. That this belief was utterly
groundless has been demonstrated. This
veto has also shown other things, as, for
instance, that the King will not abide
by his promise to the people, given by
him in answer to the resolutions of the
mass-meeting of the Both of June last
wear: that an uncontrolled veto power
may produce the most illogical results;
that the King is brought into direct con-
flict with the undoubted opinion OF the
great majority of the nation; that the
power will be used to produce confusion
and uncertainty, and many others. The
reply given by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs to the questions of Mr.. Kamau-
oha shows clearly that this veto was
contrary to the express advice of the
Cabinet It also shows the utter trivial
lty of the King and his unfitness to take
that part in the legislation of the coun-
try assigned him by the Supreme Court
decision. All of his interest in the leg
islative proceedings is confined to the
reply to the address and the items of
the civil list! This unftness is shown
in a veto which would kill the Military
bill; without this law we must continue
in the uncertainty and doubt left under
the law of 1886 as it now stands after
the decision of the Supreme Court The
reasons given for the veto do not COM
mend themselves to thoughtful people.
Lawyers find no conflict with the con-
stitutional provision that the King is
COmmander-in-C of the army and
navy. The President of the United
STATES, the Monarch of England are in
the same position, yet no one denies the
power of Congress or of Parliament to
exercise control by law. Whenever &C.
casion arises for the exercise of the
dormant power given by the Constitu-
ton, it is done: witness the two or three
instances during the civil war in the
United States. The King gives as one
reason that the Royal Guard is INSULT
cient in number. This is question for
the people who pay and who will see
that the Royal state is properly main
tanned. 1t is not a valid reason for the
veto.
Measures of retaliation are proposed,
not by the Legislature, but by citizens.
1t is enough that after careful decision
the Legislature has declared its will.
Undoubtedly the dignifed and honor
able course will be pursued Of either
passing the bill in it's present shape or
dropping it altogether.
