1T HAS A GREAT FUTURE.

The Virginian of the 9th says: The
development of Tidewater Virgins
and North Carolina along the Albe-
marie and Pamlico sounds, is now
attracting attention north of us. A
writer in the Sun, referring to the
building and operation of a steamer
between Suffolk and Baltimore, says:
"The country opened up by the
line includes Nansemond county,
Va, and Gates, Perquimons and
Chowan counties, N. 6. One ofthe
principal industries of the section is
shad and herring fishing, and the fiji
caught early in the afternoon could
be put in Baltimore, Ph ladelphia
and New York before breakfast next
morning. The Gay Lumber Com
pany, formed by the same capitalists,
purchased a large lot of timber land
in Nansemond county, and estab-
lished three mills one at Suffolk and
two on tn. line Of the Suffolk and
Carolina road, for cu:ting up the

other Baltimore peop,e are interested

President Bosley few davs a!o
took down a party Of friends from

that hotel erected on bluff near
the railroad and on the Chowan

from the North during the Winter

same matter. but have tai,en no

AROUND THE WORLD.
THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
Written for FISHERMAN & FARMER.

I
Let us now visit the town of
Lahaina, (anciently called Lele from
the short stay Of Chiefs there) which
is pleasantly located on the wes' ern
shore of the island of Maui. This
town was selected by Kamehamehs
III and his chiefs to be the seat Of
government of the group, and it con-
tinued such until 1843, when he
removed the royal res dence to Hon
olulu; its public buildings are few.
It has three chu' ches, a hospital and
the old palace which from the anchor
age looms up and appears gran
and stately building, but is fast going
to ruin from neglect. There is fine
seminary for the education Of natives
located about two miles back of the
village. 1t is under the charge Of
capable foreign teachers, and is susr
taine1 by the government. 1t mum
bers about 100 students. Perhaps
there is no village on the group that
presents to the stranger more strik
ing tropical appearance than does
Lahaina. There is one principal
street. several miles in length inter-
sected with many others, lined with
large Kukui trees, which cover the
road, redering it in places a shady
and cool bower. Numerous groves
of cocoanu;s and tall bananas line the
beach and environs, while grape and
other vines almost bury in their
foliage many of the cottages. TIL
native inhabitants of Maui are far
more advanced in the knowledge of
self government and also in agricul
ture, and consequently are m"re
independent than those of the other
islands of the group. Frui's are
generally abundant. The grape
seems to luxuriate in the rich soil, AMI
the sunny clear weather of Lshama
Figs, bananas and melons are pro
duced in abundance, and pumpkins
enough for all North Carolina to
make pies for general thanksgiv ng
The population of Lahaina is about
r. 500, the foreign part of whicH is
about 500. Years ago there was a
hut under "every bread fruit tree"
was the statement Of an old kanaka
who says he has seen the four Kane
as the rulers of the land. |
The climate is unequalled, the mild
sea breezes temper the heat of the
day. and the COO breeze of the night

And cease your needless clatter;
want to have a word with you
About little matter.
Josiah, look mo in the face;
You know this world condition,
Yet you have never cast q vote
Right out for Prohibition.
I heard you on your knees last night
Ask help to keep from strayin',
And now 1 want to know if you
Will vote as you've been prayinY
You We prayed as loud as any man
While with the tide a-foatin';
Josiah, you must stop sich work,
And do some better votin'!
We women pray for better times,
And work right hard to make 'em;
You men vote whisksy with its crimes,
And we just have to take 'em.
How long, Josiah, must this be?
WE vote and pray 'gainst evil;
You PRAY all right, for what I see,
But VOTE plump for the deyil.
There now; I We said my say, and you
Just save your ammunition,
And vote the way you We always prayed
For total Prohibition.

Political Capital at Long Range.

We stated in our last issue that the
report that body of armed men had
visited the premises Of Narcisse ,Bihm,
near this town, week before, had turn
out to be fabrication. We had heard
this currently reported on the streets,
and in conversation with Coroner Lit
tell, who was one Of the Sheriff's posse
who guarded the premises on the fol
lowing night, he gave it rs his opinion
that no one had attempted to molest
Bihm 6ahad been about his premises.
Thinking that he was in possession of
the best information attainable on the
subject, and that he reelected the views
Of those who were equally we'll inform
ed, we gave the lawless element the
benefit of the doabt-Heayen knows
they had enough to answer for already
and made the statement first above
referred to.
Last Saturdays Democrat, however,
positively states that a party of armed
men did visit the premises that they
were both white and colored that
Bihm was not at homo, "and they did
nothing but fire off their guns" Now,
the Democrat may be perfectly correct
iu this. We do not propose to discuss
this question here. But it goes on to
say: "There could be but one object
in the visit: to keep the cotored people
terrorized, and impress them with the
idea, that there is no protec-
ton for them under the present govern
ment. = = Scare the colored voters,
and then tell them that they will be
protected if they vote right next time"
In the same issue it says: "One thing
is certain, those who have taken advan
tage of the killing of the four colored
men i'm this parish, to commit other
lawlessness and deyilment, are not the
friends, political or otherwise, Of the
present officials -
Now, while we do not think that the
theory which the Democrat so dogmat-
ieally asserts is correct, we respectfully
submit that our neighbor seems to be in
possession of a clew or two, which, if
properly worked up, ought to land
somebody in the penitentiary At the
same time we must say that we think
that any set of men, white or colored,
who would go about, four years before
an election, manufacturing, or attempt
ing TO manufacture political capital in
this far-fetcilcd manner, are fit subjects
for lunaere asylum and ought to be
ncontiirently turned over to the fool
kltler.
AT any rate, be- they opponents or
enemies, rslitical1r otherwise, of the
present officials. or not, they ought to
be severely dealt with, if caught. This
thing has gone too far already.
