Diamond Mining In South Africa.

The diamondiferous soil Is quarried ont
below by Kafrs and deposited In great
iron buckets which run on standing wire
ropes. and are hauled Up by steam to the
receiving boxes on the brink of the mine.
Everywhere is activity and hustle, and q
loud hum comes up out of the vast hole
from 3, 600 to 4.000 human beings engaged
at work below The men themselves look
like SO many flies as they dig away at the
blue soil. and the thousands of wire ropes
extending from every claim to the de-
posting boxes round the edge have the
appearance of huge spiders web, while
the buckets perpetually descending empty
and ascending full might well represent
the giant spiders.
Every thirteen or fourteen Kafrs at
work In the mine have q white overseer,
to prevent as much as possible that
wholesale robbery which goes en- among
them One would think they would fad
1t rather hsrd to steal. and still more
difficult 10 conceal a diamond On their
naked persons under the eye Of the over
seer; but, despite all precautions, they do
steal vast number of stones, picking
them up and carrying them away in their
mouths or between their toes. The
largest diamonds are usually unearthed
in the mines before the stuff is washed,
and an overseer must keep his eyes well
open. for he cannot be sure of the honesty
of any one of his "boys. DEMO.

THE ONE WHO STAYS At HOME.

The wheels Of the world go round and round,
In the press Of q busy thronS.
Morn with its matin melody
And night with It's vesper song;
The tides are out and the tides arc b,
Like the sea in its ebb and dow,
For there's always one to stay at homo
Where there Is one to 60.
Abroad on the highways noisy track
There is rush Of hurrying feet.
The sparks fly Out from the wheels Of time
To brighten the bitter and sweet;
But apart from the beaten road and path,
Where the pulse OF earth runs slow,
There Is always one to stay ct homo
Where there is one to 60.
Over and over good-bys are said.
In tests chat die with the day,
When eyes are wet that cannot forget,
And smiles have faded away;
erniles that are worn as over grave
Flowers VIII blossom and blow;
For there's always one to stay at home
Where there is one to 60.
Always one for the little tasks
OF day that is never done;
Always one to sit down at night
And watch with the stars alone
And he who fights on chs worlds broad field,
With banner and blast and drum.
Little dreams Of battle gained
By. the ons who stayed at home.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.
A LABoRER QUARRELs WITH HIS
MASTER. THE LATTER USES
A GUN WITH TERRIBLE
EFFECT.

About O'Clock Sunday morning
brake stopped at the residence of
DT'Trousseau. In tile bottom was
laid man named Louis Magoney his
clothing literally soaked in blood.
The doctor was called and the man
ordered to be taken to The Queens
Hospital His face and right side
were badly peppered with shot and
the left arm presented very shat
tered appearance. The wounded
man had been driven from Waialua,
the affair having taken place on
Rowell and Robertson's ranch near
that place.
One hour after his admission to
the hospital Drs. McKibbin and
Brodie found 1t necessary to amput-
ate the arm a little above the elbow.
During the operation the doctors on
two occasions thought the patient
was dead, as he was so weak from
the loss of blood.
The affair took place Saturday
evening. it appears that Robertson
during the day sent Magoney to look
after some horses. The latter re-
turned in the evening and informed
Robertson he had not been able to
find the horses. Robertson did not
appear to like the manner in which
the man replied and words passed
between them, ending in struggle
i'll the house during which kettle of
boiling hot water on the stove was
upset. Magoney then went away. A
lutte lateron he was seen approaching
the house and Robertson ordered
him Off, telling him at the same time
that il he did not get out of the way
he would shoot him. AS Magoney
did not make much OF an attempt 10
go away Robertson took up gun
and fired at Magoney twice, inflicting
the Injuries as above stated. When
Robertson saw what he had done he
bandaged Magoney's arm and had
him at once driven to town by
another man on the ranch.
1On Sunday morning Mr.. w. f.
Rowell, Superintendent of Public
Works, Robertson's partner in the
ranch, drove to Waialua, and re-
turned in the evening at 1880
O'Clock with Robertson. This morn
ing q charge of assault with a
weapon obviously and imminently
dangerous to life was preferred
against Robertson and he was adj
mitted to bail in the sum of 81, 900.
Robertson, who is the father-in-
law of Acknowledgement Ashford,
is man well on in years and well
known in Honolulu. NIagoney is
supposed to be an italian and as
only been in the country a few
weeks. ....

MYSTERIOUS sHOOTING.

On Sunday evening two shots
went through the sails of II. B. M
S. Cormorant and one fell near to
the L. 5. 5. Alert. The boat boys
also heard bullets whining past near
the boat landing. They seemed to
come from the direction of the Eva
side of the bay. "A boat containing
five men, put off from the Cormor-
ant for the purpose of Investigating
the mysterious shooting, but before
it had got very far the shooting
ceased, This morning, Major Wode-
house, Ii. 3, NJ. IS Commissioner,
called on Marshal Soper and in
formed him of what had taken place.
the result being that Capt. Hopkins
was sent to investigate the affair.
AT noon Hopkins reported that n
PortuS nese was practicing shooting
in the vicinity from where the shots
were heard. He had gone to the
King street range and wheR lie re-
turns this afternoon an investigation
will be held.

LESSONS FROM FIJI,

Recent advices from Fiji state
that the land and coolie questions
are as much exciting themes of dis
cussion in that group as in ours. In
answer to protest OF the native
chiefs Of Fiji, who were opposed to
coole settlement, the Colonial Gov
eminent sent them a final note in
which was the following practical
paragraph: "In this colony there is
much land lying idle-lend which
you neither know nor can make use
of. Land is given for use, and it
will be a mistake for you to suppose
that anything can be allowed to re-
main idle and useless" From this
it would appear that land legisla-
ton is on much better and more
progressive basis in Fiji than on the
Hawaiian group; and the paragraph
embodies valuable lesson which,
sooner or later, will have to be
adopted here.
Another singular request of the
native chiefs was to the effect that
'an effective punishment be inhict-
cd upon women for circulating
slanderous reports;" but the Gov
eminent had made no reply to this
when the last mail left. The Gov
ernor, however, had stated that he
would "ask for more information. "
OF course, enactments of this nature
would never do in country where
women are all ladies' as they are on
this group, The Hi correspondent
of the "Sydney Morning Herald"
says in this connection; sit would
be an interesting study for any
philanthropist TO obtain a copy of
native regulations now in force, and
watch the results of attempts to
make people yirtuous by Act of
Parliament. "

the LADIES ENTERTAINMENT,

The Blue Ribbon league entertain
ment Saturday evening by the ladies
was a great success, the audience
completely filing the Y. NJ. c. A.
hall. There was look of surprise
on the faces of the audience when
tho portly form OF Mr.. p. C.. Jones
followed by the clerical one of Rev.
II. III. Goven, made their appear
ance on the platform, as it had been
announced right along that the en-
tertainment was to be entirely in
charge of ladies. However, the two
intruders must be great favorites
with the ladies for they were allowed
to retain their seats on the platform
during the entire entertainment.
The programme as published in
Saturdays BULLETIN was carried
through in. the most satisfactory
manner. Mrs. DR.. j. M. Whitney
gave the address, referring to the
absence of the prohibition question
from the Republican and Democratic
platforms in the coming election.
The address was quite Interesting.
