Death of Capt. Cook.
From the Overland Monthly.

But nothing was decided upon when
the warming was given that boats were
coming from the floating island, and the
chiefs, warriors, and common people
crowded to the usual landing place. AS
the boats drew near it was whispered
from one to another that the great Lono
himself Capt. Cook was in the leading
boat, and 60 great was the veneration
in which they held him that the COM
mon people drew back. and but few of
the higher chiefs with their attendants
remained near to greet the great navi-
gator.
AS soon as he had landed, however,
these gathered about him, and through
an interpreter the two parties began an
animated discussion over some points
of difference. From being animated
the natives became excited as one OF
the number recounted how the white
strangers had cut down and carried off,
for firewood, the sacred idols surround
ing their paa, or house of gods, and how
they-the king, the chiefs, and the peo-
ple-had been oppressed by the de-
mands of those whom they had delight
ed in honoring, until their voluntary
offerings had come to be looked upon as
tributes they owed, and had been paid
by insults and even blows.
AS their complaints grew more violent
the excited natives crowded closer to
the strangers and arms began to be
brandished. Then-no one knew just
it happened-the captain was seen to
push back violently one or two of those
nearest him. There was a rush,
a warming cry from the officers, yell
from the savages, and as the captain
turned to give an order, one Of them
plunged q long knife into his back He
fell, and as he fell he groaned. At once
a wild cry went up from the natives:
"He is wounded; he is not immortal
He groans; he is not Lono." And then,
in spite of the fire from the dreaded
muskets of the marines, they surround
ed the fallen man and quickly dis
Matched him

The Fourteen Mistakes of Life.
From Wives and Daughters.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life, and arrived at the conclu-
sion that there are fourteen of them.
Most people would say. if they told the
truth, there was no limit to the mistakes
of life; they were like the drops in the
ocean or the sands on the shore in num-
Der; but it is well to be accurate. Here,
then, are fourteen great mistakes. 1t is
a great mistake to set up our own stand
ard of right and wrong, and Judge peo-
pie accordingly; to measure the enjoy
ment of others by our own; to expect
uniformity of opinion in this world; to
look for judgment and experience in
youth; to endeavor to mould all dispo-
sitions alike; not to yield to immaterial
trifes; to look for perfection in our own
actions; to worry ourselves and others
with what cannot be remedied; not to
alleviate all that needs alienation as far
as lies in our power; not to make allow
ances for the infrmities OF others; to
consider everything impossible that we
cannot perform; to believe only what
our finite minds can grasp; to expect to
be able to understand everything
The greatest of mistakes is to live for
time alone, which any II Jment may
launch us into eternitV

An Old Country Pin.
From the Aurora Blade.

William Egerman recently sustained
surprise that nearly threw him off from
his equilibrium. great many wears
ago he was given tn by one of his
old country relatives. The pin was a
cross and contalued nine stones. He
wore the ornament from time to time.
but his pride would invariably get the
better OF him when lis friends referred
to the sets as being made of glass beads,
pop-bottles, or paste. So he would
succumb and cast the trinket in the
back part of the bureau drawer He
knew the pin itself was good gold, and
he recently went to jeweler and asked
him how much it would be worth to put
in good settings. He also wanted to
know if the glass ones IN the pin at the
time were worth enough to pay for re-
moving them. The jeweler examined
them carefully, and then said he could
not form an exact estimate of their val
ue, but should judge they were worth
about 81 ,2UO. They were diamonds, and
Egerman had been ashamed to wear
that pin ever since he was a boy.

Forward to SpotsyIvania."

In the February Century Gen. Sher-
man contributes an article on ''The
Grand Strategy Of the War" from which
we quote the following: with the
month of May came the season for action,
and by the 4th all his armies were in
motion. The army of Butler at Fort
Monroe was his left, Meade's army the
center, and Sherman at Chattanooga his
right. Butler was to move against Rich
mond on the south Of James River,
Meade straight against Lee, intrenched
behind the Rapidan, and Sherman to
attack Joe Johnston and push him to
and beyond Atlanta. This was as far as
human foresight could penetrate.
Though Meade commanded the army of
the Potomac, Gen. Grant substantially
controlled it, and on the 4th of May,
1864, he crossed the RapiGan, and at
noon next day attacked Lee. He knew
that certain amount Of fighting,
killing had to be done to accomplish
his end, and also to pay the penalty of
former failures. In the wilderness
there was no room for grand strategy,
Or even minor tactics; but the fighting
was desperate, the losses to the Union
army being, according to Phisterer, 81,
1877, to the Con tederate loss of IL, 400-the
difference being due to Lees intrench-

try in which the battle was fought. On
the night of May both parties paused,
appalled, by the fearful slaughter; but
Gen. Grant commanded Forward by
the left flank That was, in my judg-
ment, the supreme moment Of his life.
Undismayed, with full comprehension
of the importance of the work in which
he was engaged, feeling as keen sym
pathy for his dead and wounded as any
one, and without stopping to count his
numbers, he gave his orders calmly,
specifically and absolutely-'Forward to

Something About Mems Clothing
From the New York Sun.


The disproportionately high prices at
which clothing is kept up by fashionable
tailors are chiefly due TO these long
credits, running from six months to a
year or more. While other articles OF
apparel besides those furnished by the
fancy tailor have greatly decreased in
price, owing to better facilities for their
manu- 'acture and the stress of COMPETE
ton, he goes on charging as much as
ever for his work, if he continues to do
business on the old system.
But the tailors who sell Tor cash, or on
short credits, and attract a large custom
by advertising, can bring their prices
into closer relation with the present
cost of other manufactured articles.
They can reduce them from one-third
to one-half, as compared with those of
the old-fashioned tailors. Inevitably,
therefore, they must draw off large
part of the custom of the highpriced
shops. Possibly. with respect to GER
tain details Of Workmanship their gar
ments may be slightly inferior, but
they may be good enough; and, accord
ing to their English brethren Of the
craft our tailors lay altogether too much
stress on mere finishing. They furnish
the same quality OF Ia terial as the 9TH
ers. and their extensive business should
enable them to employ the most artistic
cutters.
The ready made clothing business has
also been interfering very seriously with
the expensive tailors of late years, for
ready-made garments are much better
cut and manufactured than for merly
eand thy were never SO chea as now.
