RECOLLECTIoYS OF THE P.iIE

I'm thinking of the place, Tom,
Where oft we used to roam,
That little cot beneath the trees
We called our forest home.
And we'll l know you'll Ter forget,
Whate'er your lot below,
That dear old spot we loved so well,
Just fifteen years ago.
I'm thinking of the school, Tom,
The master, too, so grim
And how, when he would turn his back,
We would mimic him.
The master sleeps deaths dreamless sleep,
The bright green turf below
Our childhood's home has vastly changed
Since fifteen years ago.
Last summertime wandered, Tom,
To where we used to play;
The school-house was not on the bill,
The brook had dried away.
The old mill wheel had ceased to move,
The cottage was laid low;
The faces were not those we knew
Just fifteen years ago.
I wandered to the churchyard. Tom,
And stepped beyond the wall
The graves were many, and the grass
Ger them grew thick and tall;
Upon the stones read the names
OF those who slept below,
And they were names we used TO speak
Just fifteen years ago.
With saddened heart turned away,
And gained the dusty road,
And from that spot so dear to me,
With rapid step ! strobe,
| could not bear to look around,
10 made me sad to know
That all were gone whom we had loved
Just fifteen years ago.
Ny eyes are wet with tears, Tom,
They're falling while write;
Friends that love are cold in death,
And am sad tonight.
But. Tom, our sorrows soon will end
Lies stream will cease TO flow,
And we shall rest where erst We played

MORE THAN TWO.

The "Advertiscr" says editorially
that every Hawaiian voted against
the segregation bill on its third
reading, except Kauhane and Ka-
laukoa, and thinks "these facts"
will not be forgotten at the next
election. The "facts'' would per-
haps be good facts to remember, if
they were "facts;'' but the "facts"
have a strong resemblance to falsi-
ficationS; for the ADVERTISER re-
port of Legislative proceedings gives
the names of at least three
other Hawaiians who voted
with the two named-Daniels, Ma
guire and Richardson. The report
is correct. The editorial therefore
must be in error. But perhaps the
editor docs not consider these three
gentlemen to be Hawaiians. Then
what are they? They consider
themselves Hawaiians, and they
have the best of the argument. In
regard to facts to be remembered at
the next election, there are lots of
things which electors now say they
are going to treasure up until then
facts relating to foreigners as well
as to the natives. Whether the mem
Ories of the voters will prove as re-
tentive as is at present believed they
will remains to be seen. The next
elections are long way off, and eN-
perience proves that there is not
much dependence to be placed on
promises whose fulfilment is placed
at so remote q distance in the
future. Well, we shall see; that is,

Captain +. p. Drew, arrived this
morning, l24 days from San Fran
cisco, with a full cargo of miscella-
neous merchandise and one cabin
passenger. The Dimond made a
straight track down, almost a bee
line, and accomplished more than
half the distance in five days, She
walked away from the Pacific Coast
with stiff n. w. breeze picked
up the island trades in the usual
place. During the run one whole
dolphin and four dolphin heads we're
hauled on board with a line. In
the latter case the fish are said to
have held the water so fast that
their heads were pulled off! The
Dmond docked near the O. S. S.
wharf, with a powder signal flying
On The deck of the Dimond came a
new foremast for the schooner Moi
Wahine. Captain Drew is looking
as well as ever, and is full of funny
stories about travelling wool mer-
chants and political badges.

THE ORGAN RECITAL,

The third of the series of Organ
Recitals was given on Thursday
evening, by Mr.. Wray Taylor, A.
Cid. o., in Kaumakapili Church,
to large and appreciative audience9
The programme included works by
DR.. Chipp, Batiste, Delbruck, DR..
Sparkle and DR.. Tours, each of
which Mr.. Taylor played with his
usual skill. Mrs. j. IL. Patty sang
Handcl's "Angcls ever bright and
fair" with much taste and express
sion. The programme also con.
tanned two other organ solos which
were played by Mr.. M. II. Jones,
Organist of the Central Union
Church, and two choruses, sung
by the Honolulu Arion Society,
which were listened to with marked
attention. Princess Liliuokalani
graced the occasion by her pre-
sCnce.
1t is very gratifying to notice
that these organ recitals are bccom-
ing popular, for they are certainly
worth listening to and an hour pass
ed at these entertainments is not
ill-sDcnt.

UNSATISFACTORY.

A few days ago we had occasion
to commend the Minister of Interior
for having made new departure,
in taking preliminary steps to get
certain public work done by con-
tract. We now regret to record
that the first venture so far should
have proved unsatisfactory to some
parties concerned. Tenders were
invited for filling in and grading
Halekauila and Alakea streets. Ten
ders were to be in the Interior Of
flee by y o'clock noon of the 22d
instant. On that day and by that
hour several persons who were de-
sirous of contracting for the work
had passed in their bids. Although
the Minister of Interior was exempt
ed by the terms of the advertise
ment from being bound to accept
"the lowest or any tender" yet it
was naturally understood that there
was bona .fde intention to get the
work done by contract, and that
some one of the bids made within
the time specified would be accept
ed. The dissatisfaction alluded to
is on the ground that although ten
ders were in at the time fixed, were
opened and their contents known, at
a later hour another tender was
handed in, and this one was award
ed the contract. This is how the
matter has been represented to us,
and on this basis dissatisfaction is
reasonable. 1t should be said, how
ever, that the late and accepted ten
der is believed to have been prepar-
ed within the time named in the

LEGISLATIVE JUGGLERY.

EDITOR BULLETlN:-An exhibition
of legislative jugglery was given
yesterday afternoon in the House,
while in committee of the whole,
considering the Election bill. There
were several sections of the bill that
provided for secret balloting refer
red to select committee, who re-
ported back to the House these sew
eral sections so amended and modi-
fed, that it makes the ballot as open as
formerly. The bill with these
amendments was under discussion,
and sections 43, A and 40 as
amended by the committee had pass
ed without very much debate. Sec.
46 as amended was read when
member moved that the section as
in the bill pass. The motion was
put and carried before majority of
the committee saw what they had
done. When the chairman an
nounced the vote a howl was raised
against it, and all sorts of motions
were made and argued. Finally the
chair put the motion to pass the
section as amended by the commit
tee which also passed. The COM
mittee then rose and the chairman
reported to the House that the COM
mittee had passed section 46 as in
the bill and also as amended by the
committee. Here was a dilemma
which Noble Smith helped the COM
mittee out of by moving to accept
the report of the committee except
that part relating to section 46,
which was referred back for further
consideration. This motion carried
and eXtricated the committee from
the fix that n hasty and thoughtless
vote got them into.
Whether or not the motion TO pass
the section as in the bill was made
with the intention of confusing the
committee, it certainly had that ef-
feet, and to a looker-on seemed also
to provoke considerable animus on
the part of the opponents of the bill.
AS was suggested by the "Adver-
tiscr" some days ago, the Legisla-
ture had better 60 home and give
the boys q chance. 1t would indeed
be stupid lot of boys who would
have been caught as the opponents
of this bill were, and be obliged to
take the humiliating stand, that the
motion was not understood and
therefore carried.
1t was argued by Minister in the
House yesterday as an excuse for
tabling a bill which he otherwise
thought worthy of consideration,
that the members were getting tired
and wanted to 90 home. BY the
vote Of the committee on this sec
ton of the Election bill they de-
monstrated that such was the case,
and it will now be in order for them
TO 90 home and report to their
mothers or some other lawful guard
ian, and if they contemplate repre-
senting a constituency again let
them during the IS or 20 months
intervening before another session,
study the wants OF the country and
the best and most feasible manner OF
developing its resources, so that
when they shall again take thcil
seats in the Legislative Hall of the
Kingdom, their minds will be able to
cope with greater questions than the
"hcight of fence" or shooting o.
pigs" y.

SIR ROGER TlCHBOURNE.

With the re-opening of the famous
Tichbourne case in England there is
more or less interest in any person
who may have been connected with
the real Tichbourne or the claimant.
There is now in Honolulu an indi-
vidual who has been living obscurely
in other parts of the islands for
some time, who has contided to a few
an interesting story, which, if true,
may be conclusive proof of the
death of Sir Roger. This man
claims to have been with him and to
have buried him on Sydney Island I;
and he tells his story with a simpli-
city and apparent veracity which
would be valuable evidence. He
contemplates leaving the islands
soon, and it seems a pity the British
Government could not induce him
to proceed to Sydney Island in a
war-vessel and there discover and
produce the bones of Sir Roger from
the grave which he claims he dug.
