above advocated; because import
ant questions have come to the front
since the elections, that were not
then dreamt of, and that formed no
part of the platform on which issues
we're decided. Some of these came
up at the extra session, and others
in addition to them will probably
come forward at the regular session,
shortly to commence.
As the Legislature will meet some
time next month, the time for public
meetings of the nature designated
will be short. The capital city can
not take the lead, because Kahului
already occupies that position, but
it might follow suit.

THE POST OFFICE AND the
PEOPLE,

The people sometimes make COM
plant against the Post Office, and
now the Post Office has reasonable
ground of complaint against the
people. No doubt the Post Office
is often blamed for effects which are
actually caused by the people; as,
for instance, letters not reaching
their destination when due, owing
to the fact Of their not having been
posted in time for the mails. The
foreign mail was announced to close
to-day at II O'Clock A. NJ, whereas
at that hour there were not 500
letters in the box, and between that
hour and IL 40 about a 800 letters
additional were deposited. If the
Postmaster had closed the mails at
the time announced, which he would
have been perfectly justified in
doing, nine-tenths of the foreign
mail would have been left behind.
Then people arc not careful to drop
their letters into the proper box.
The foreign and the island boxes are
distinctly marked ON the outside,
and people in posting their letters to
90 abroad should take care to drop
them in the right box, otherwise
they can blame nobody but them
selves if they get left. To-day
several letters intended for abroad
were discovered in the island box
after the Australia had gone. The
delay in despatching those letters is
the fault Of the people posting them
and not of the Post Office people.
If people want their letters to 90
promptly where addressed, they
should be careful to drop them in
the proper box and to do it it time,
and not after the mail bags are
| closed.

CALLS FOR INVESTIGATION.

And now comes voice from the
district of Koolaupoko, on the other
SIDE of this island, from which Chat
is the district) we are separated by
dividing range and with which we
are connected by the Pail road. 1t
is not often that voice reaches us
from there, and when it does, is
usually quiet and pacific, tempered
by the gracious trade-winds, of
which the district gets more than its
share. But this time it is somewhat
strong and stern. Its words are re-
corded in this paper. The voice
complains of the existence of a state
of affairs in that district, which is
not in accordance with the law or
with the wishes of the people who
stand on the side of order and de-
cency. Grog-selling and gambling
are the unlawful practices complain
ed of, and these are said to be COM
mitted under the eyes of the very
officers appointed to prevent them.
This is grave charge, and calls for
immediate investigation. The near
ness to the capital of the district
where the illegal practices are said
to exist, and the fact that it is reach
able from Honolulu by couple of
hours travel, make investigation
easy. and should obyiate DELAY.

PUBLIC MEETINGS OF VOTERS.

The people of Kahului and sur
rounding districts, on the island of
Maui, have taken the initiative in a
matter in which every district in the
kingdom might wisely follow. AS
our readers have been made aware,
through the columns Of this paper,
a meeting of electors was held at
Kahului on the 29th of last month,
the object of which was ''to discuss
the action of the last Legislative ses-
sion, to decide on the future course,
and to get the opinion of thcSvoters
on the most important questions at
issue" After some speech making,
committee of five was appointed,
to draw up a set of resolutions, to
be submitted to an adjourned meet
ing, to be held three weeks from
that date.
Now, we think it would be well if
meetings of electors were held in
every district of the country, at
which Mobiles and Representatives
could give an account of their
stewardship at the last session of
the Legislature, and especially as
certain the views of their constitu-
ents relative to the leading questions
likely to come up for consideration
at the forthcoming session.
The members of the Legislature
are simply the representatives of the
people, and as the representatives
of the people it is their duty to full
fill, as far as possible, the peoples
wishes; and we know of no better
method of learning the peoples s
wishes, than by discussing with them
questions in which they are inter-
ested, at public meetings.
To say that the entire House as
now constituted was chosen at a re-
cent general election, in support of
principles clearly expressed and
fully understood, is poor argument
against the public meeting idea

Tho Art of Conversing.

The reason why many who converse are
dull, is our fault, not theirs; our bearing,
because we have not learned the art of
patiently listening, restraints and embar-
rasscs them. Were we more respectful
nEd benevolent, the tongue Of the one
speaking would disentangle itself, and
give lis many treasures of head and heart.
Hence, in conversing, we should never
seem to feel toward the one speaking that
we are perfectly acquainted with every
thing he is saying or can say; that kills
his glow, and we shall shortly have for a
companion q stick or stone.
Hence, also, when our interiors are
speaking, we should never put words into
their lips. Start the mass Of men; then,
while the glow and flow are upon them,
preserve dead silence: you will shortly

Beauty in Brindisi.

The colors of Brindisi, like its latitude,
are south tropical. Even on dull day
we could enjoy the olives and pinks and
light greens and grays of the houses. At
distance they are white, but close at
hand the illusion goes. Then the dress of
the people is as vivid rs the tone of their
lustrous skin or their fine black eyes.
The men, for the most part, 60 about in
blue blouses, with little or nothing under
meath; but the women coruscate with
necklets Of metal and glass, and are as
gay as rainbows besides in parti colored
cotton and wool. The lasses loved being
sketched, moreover. They stuck their
plump arms akimbo, set themselves well
on their legs and stood like things of
brass as long as they were asked to stand.
It was pretty again to see them in the
market place, sitting in the midst Of great
heaps of vivid oranges. But as hucksters
they are a little importunate, and it is
not every man that would feel at ease
with the arms of a siren beautiful as Gle
opatra tight around his neck, beseeching
him to buy. Again, not every one can
admire the association Of tobacco and
beauty; and yet some of these pretty girls
sat demure, with pipes in their mouths

Indian flames and Frog Language.


The Montauks were powerful tribe Of
Indians, but although their time was
largely taken up with making shell money
and stringing it together, they were not
VIGOROUSLY wealthy. Their wampum was
worth more after it had worked its way
inland than it was on Montauk Point,
where any fool could sit down and grind
ont 81 COO in cold and clammy cash in one
afternoon. On pleasant days they rOwed
across the sound, gave the Pequots an
everlasting walloping, and in the evening
returned to their squaws, their mus
uuitoes, their shell heaps and their names.
Language in the old days must have been
onnmatopoetic; the meaning must have
been evidenced in the sound, and gentle
men who sat up nights making names for
Long Island summer resorts must have
been influenced by the tree toads and
frogs that abound there.
Talk of the chorus in 1.-THE Frogs" Of
Aristophanes! Say over these Indian
names few times and see how incapable
the Greek is compared to Montauk "In-
Jun" The little frog says ''Mattituck, {"
'tSpeonk," pipes the tree toad, the bull
frog grumbles "Patchogue" and the
swamps and woods become vocal with
tQuogue," tPon Quogue, "Cutchogue, T"
'rYaphank," "Peconic," "Sagg," "Co.
mac" Shinnecock, "Napeagus, I"
"Aquebogue." Still these Indian names
are pleasant, and much to be desired above
the Smithtowns and Jonesyilles, where
with the face of this land is covered.
James Russell Lowell does not believe in
Indian nomenclature, but he is dis
gruntled because his native town is Pigs

Any revelations bearing on the corona
ton of Napoleon 1 by Plus VII will be in
teresting to the general reader. A writer
in The Musee DIES Families has just given
the public a series of interesting details
which he has compiled from the best orig
inal resources, and which are, by the by,
of quite valuable kind. According to
this authority, M. Nitot, the eInperef's
silversmith, was seen entering the fuller
ies palaces carrying o round package on
his right arm. Addressing one of the i'm
perial lackeys he asked if he could not see
his majesty.

the reply. .,

NJ. Nitot, tsthat ( should like to speak

ushered into the imperial bedroom, where
Napoleon and his wife Josephine were still
enjoying their repose, the former wearing
a kerchief around his head and the latter

Napoleon. "Goed day, Papa Nitot; any
news?'
''Sire, come to try it."
"Try what, Papa Nitot?'
"The crown for your coronation, sire"
Whereupon Napoleon flung the kerchiet
to the other end Of the chamber, raised
himself on his arm, and was crowned
there and then most respectfully by the
silversmith.

"doesn't it, Josephines'

"But you must see if it fits you, also,' u
he exclaimed to his wife, taking off the
crown from his own head and placing il
tenderly on hers, after having relieved Lis
imperial spouse Of tho rather democratic
cap she had been wearing. The crown
proved to DO rs good fit for the empress
as for the emperor, and both were delight
ed with Papa Nitot's dexterity in its
manufacture. Brooklyn Eagle.

the legs, and simultaneously tearing these
off leave the carcass to the fifth, after

aiming it at his guests widely distended

anything but what my kind entertainer an
