AROUND THE WORLD.
THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.

To the FIRHERMAN & FARMER.
On the afternoon of July the 18th
1888, under all plain sail with good
stiff breeze off our port quarter we
left Callao Peru and stood out to sea
homeward bound and as the land of
the Incas faded from our view we set
Port studding sails and prepared for
a long sea voyage. The monotony Of
the trip was dispelled by the catching
of bonitos, and sharks. These mon
sters of the deep are caught by put
ting a large piece of meat on an iron
hook to which is attached several feet
Of chain, as the shark would cut
rope with his teeth. A rope is made
fast to the chain and hung over the
stern of the ship. A shark is soon
seen swimming towards the hook and
when he reaches it turns partly on
his side and swallows the meat. then
comes the tug Of war. A block is
rugged on the end Of the spanker
boom through which the shark line is
rove and the sailors getting hold Of
the rope his sharkship is soon landed
on deck, where he creates quite dis
turbance by his efforts to escape
until an axe puts an end to his strug-
giles. He is then cut up, his back
bone, head, tail, and skin saved by
some of the sailors. Walking canes
are made OF the back bone; his head
and tail kept as curiosity and his
skin when dry makes good sand paper,
it being very rough. We caught sew
eral very large ones, the largest meas
ured eleven feet. The greatest sport
at sea is catching bonitos. These are
about the size Of shad but have no
scales: their meat resembles beef, and
is full Of blood. They are quite
ldxuary at sea. To catch them one
of the sailors with fishing line, to
the hook of which is attached a small
piece of white rag, gets out on the
head booms and lets the rag skim
over the surface of the water; the
bonito sees it, thinks it flying fish,
makes leap out of the water, grabs
it, and is caught. With long pull
and strong pull you have him up to
the boom where you have a bag ready
to receive him and if you don't look
sharp you will loose him as he is the
strongest fish for his size we have

ever seen. We saw numerous whales
but did not attempt to capture any.
They would sometimes swim along
with the ship day or two. One very
large whale came up so close to Us, |
that when be blew be gave US a good
shower bath as we were leaning over
the side OF the ship watching him. !
We encountered no bad weather for
So days; on the night Of the 35th day
it started TO blow hard and lasted
during the rest of the passage and on
the morning Of the 38th day we
sighted sail. the first we had seen
since leaving Callao, and soon after
sighted the first iand we had seen
during the passage. About noon Aug.
18th, 1888, we let 90 our anchor in the
bay OF Honolulu, on the island Of
Oahu, the capitol or the Sandwich
group. Honolulu or Fairhaven (as it
was first cailed) is situated on the
leeward side of the island of Oahu, in
Latitude 2lO 18min., 23sec., North !;
Longitude 1910 48min., 4jsec., West.
1t was discovered and surveyed in
1884 by Capt. Brown of the English
ship, "Butterworth," a northwest ira
der, and was first entered by the
schooner f'Jack4ll," tender to the
"Butterworth," on January 1st, 1895.
The year in which this harbor was
discovered is one Of the most noted
in the history of these islands. Capt.
Brown, the discoverer. together with
Capt. Gardner Of the prince LeBoo"
were murdered by native pirates; the
vessels were captured and taken out
Of the harbor but were retaken by the
seamen belonging to them. Kalani
Laupule the king Of Oahu was one Of
the actors in this tragedy. The site
of Honolulu is good, rising gradually
from the sea to an elevation of about
twenty feet; the ground is volcanic
soil with coral rock basis. The sur
rounding scenery is made up of ever
lasting green mountains and valleys
The scenery of this island is very
picturesque; it is well watered, sal
ubrious and fertile throughout. It's
productions are various, mostly sugar
cane, coffee, tropical fruits and vege-
tables. This port seems to be a
focus at which the commerce from
every point of the compass in the
Pacific concentrates. It's geograph
ical position in relation 10 the old and
new world tends unavoidably to maxi
it such. There are over one hundred
stores in Honolulu, about fifteen
hotels and five or six printing offices.
There are about eight churches, some
of them very substantial specimens Of
architecture capable of accommodating
each from 800 TO 5000 persons. The
schools are numerous, both for native
and foreign children. and it is gener-
ally thought. by those most capable Of
Judging, that the advantages afforded
IN Honolulu for q thorough education
are equal to those Of our country ex-
cepting our Universities and Colleges.

SO VERY QUEER.

She's very queer, yet kind to those
Who hear her story out,
The young folks think she hardly knows
Just what she talks about
His eyes. she says, were brighter far
Then all the worlds above,
For they brought nearer than star
The gentle light of love.
Yes, she is queer, we all confess.
And yet her wrinkled face
Has such wealth of tenderness,
She needs no youthful grace
She talks of one 80 long away
And hearts so far apart,
She says, it seems but yesterday
| That he was near her heart.
| 'Tis hard to make her comprehend
| That she has told before
! The story of a sailors end
Upon a friendless shore
She says he was to duty true
And bravely met his doom,
Insisting that his eyes of blue
Still guide her through the gloom.
Perhaps when we approach the shore
| Where worldly journeys end,
We too, may tell our stories O 'er
And younger ears offend,-
For age has thought from youth apart
And only time can teach
The charity of mind and heart
That ought to govern each.

On a Louisiana Sugar Plantation.

Whisky drinking is a common vice
among the plantation negroes. Looking
over the books of plantation store in
Terrebonne parish, observed that among
the items charged III each entry there was
pretty sure to be quart of whisky. In
deed. whisky occurred oftener in the ac-
counts than bacon OF flour.
Indian cornmeal is no longer the staple
breadstuff on the plantations, as in the
days of slavery. The negroes prefer
wheat flour, and insist on having "a good
quality. They consume large quantities
of bacon and salt pork. Fresh beef they
seldom eat. They vary the monotony of
hot biscuits and bacon with game and
fish. Rabbits abound, wild ducks are
plentiful, and rivers. bayous and bays af-
ford an abundant supply of fish. V.

The Clocks of Paris.

The flight of time does not seem to be
regarded with as much solicitude in Paris
as in an American city. The Parisians
allow the minutes to take care of them
selves. have never seen two clocks in
Paris, if found them running, that kept
the same time Once there was pecu-
liar industry here which obviated this in
convenience. 1t was that of the clock
winder. This person was paid a certain
sum each year to keep the clocks in
order. He had his regular set of GUS
toners, and believe made quite a good
thing out of it. He has vanished with
the empire. In every room at every
hotel and boarding house in Paris there is
a clock. 1t is always on the mantel: it is
always made of brass. with shiny Cupids
twining braZen wreaths of cabbages
around what looks like a tombstone. in
which reposes the ghost of clock. This
York of art. which is purely ornamental,
v religiously covered with a glass case,
on which is collected the dust of ages. If
you should remove this sacred protection
and endeavor to shake the clock itself
with the idea of making it go, few mel
ancholy ticks will be your only reward.
An innovation recently has been the
Pneumatic Clock company, which takes
charge of a number of clocks. regulating
them by air power. The pipes have got
out of order on an average twice week
since it began business, and Paris has
been left timeless. Paris Cor. New York

THE ARMIES OF EUROPE.

1.-The bloated ornaments of the great
military powers of Europe" display their
proportions in very striking manner in
Col. Nogt's work on THE European
Armies of the Present." The modified
strength of France is set down at 2.O5l.-
lbs troops, exclusive of the territorial
army. which is equally large: that of
Russia at .922, 4O5; Germany. .493. 500,
and Austria-Hungry, l,035. $50. The
military strength of Italy has now at
tanned proportions that would have been
deemed incredible ten years ago. In
GLIDING militia it is alleged to amount to
2,3S1 1872 men. If, however, a similar
inclusion be made in the case of Russia,
the military strength of that power will
probably be found to exceed even that of
the French republic. Compared with
these figures the numerical proportions
of the British army ought almost to
satisfy the members of the Peace Soci-
ETY.. Including our militia and volun-
teers. as well as the Indian army. we can
just muster 7Sl.617 troops. And these
have to serve for the defence of territory
distributed over very much wider area

ers.-T Court Journal. London.
