From the goddess who has IL In keeping;

I'd borrow from her the sunbeams stored
For other bards to enkindle;
Sweet fancies steal from her frolicsome hoard,
And strains Of song from her spindle.
I'd win all her secrets Of lyrical art
And hasten to thee to betray them;

I'd ruthlessly, loyalty stay them.

The recently enacted law requiring
all death sentences to be executed in New
York State by means of electricity is
causing some trouble. The doctors say
that when the State begins the business it
will necessarily be bunglingly done. The
electrical execution is said to be as revol.
ting as hanging. It will cause bleeding
at the eyes and ears of the executed and
will cover the criminal with blood. The
papers are discussing the subject, and
several inventors are at work executing
machines.
The Boston Journal spins this curious
yarn: 'There is a black lily at Chico,
CAL, which catches flies. 1t is shaped
something like Gala, but much larger,
being sixteen inches across the top by
ten inches in breadth. The pistil eman-
ates from a pouch about ten inches in
depth, and is itself fifteen inches long by
nearly an average width of an inch and
is perfectly black. The flower has an
offensive odor like that of decaying flesh.
Flies swarm about the flower. Attracted
by the odor they find their way into the
pouch from which the pistil comes,
and once down in there they never get
out"

died al the aims house in Tallahatchie,
County, Miss, last week. Uncle Nose at
the time of his death was 115 years of
age and was a plough. boy on plantation
at the close of the Revolution. He had
lived in Tallahatchie County for more
than sixty years, and when slave was
faithful always. When by the fortunes
of war he was made free he proved a good
and trustworthy citizen and an honor to
his race. In each election since he was
given the privilege of elective franchise,
without persuasion, force or fear, he voted
the Democratic ticket.
- It seems that the women of England
are in bad way as regards drink. DR..
Imlach has informed the British Medical
Association that women drink to excess
as much as men, and that in Liverpool it
is the wives who drink, and not among
the vicious classes alone. The use Of
opium, chloral and other narcotics is
much more prevalent among women than
among men. Women, however, have a
better excuse for their excesses than the
other sex. They drink, as rule, because
they have some worrying ailment, and
keep on until the habit is settled upon
them. With narcotics the beginning of
the abuse is generally traceable, says Dr..
Imlacb, to medical prescriptions. Miss
Broadbent, the we'll known missionary of
the Church Temperance Society, says
correspondent of the New York Sun,
gives the interesting fact that though
women often drink heavily, the most
confirmed drunkards among them are
seldom attacked with delirium tremens.
She declares that she has not seen q single
instance of this disease among women
during the last twelv months, although
she has visited many cases of drinking
women.

MASQUERADE BALL.

The masquerade ball given by the
Portuguese Philharmonic Society, Sa-
turday evening, at the hall Of the
Portuguese Mutual Benefit Society,
was quite successful affair. The
interior of the building was tastily
decorated with Hawaiian, American
and Portuguese flags, with ferns and
palm leaves. Portraits of the King
of Portugal and Mr.. p. A. Dias,
President of the Society, were dis
played in conspicuous places. Hun
dreds of colored lanterns were hung
along the street approaching the
hall, but. unfortunately the wind
was too strong and they could not
be kept lighted. In front of the
building was a temporary stand oc-
cupied by the Portuguese band. The
ball was in the hands Of the follow
ing: Reception Committee. M.

The Hawaiian string band played
for dancing and between the dances
the Portuguese band gave selections.
Just before the close of the ball, two
young men dressed in Chinese cos
tune gave a performance with fiddle
and gong which caused much merri-
ment. Refreshments were served in
the grounds by the Elite Ice Cream
Parlors. Quite a handsome sum
should be realized by the Philhar-
monte Society.

SELECTIONS.
THE BRITISH NAVY.

Lord George Hamilton, First Lord
of the Admiralty, speaking at Glas-
gov, Oct. 18th, on the state Of the
British navy, said that twenty-nine
men-of-war, aggregating one hum
dred thousand tons, would be COM
pleted in December next. England,
he thought, ought TO follow the ex-
ample of Australia, and organise eff
ficient bodies of men, and build YES
sells for local defence and the pro-
lection of trade centres. At the
present time eight of the largest OF
the British men-of-war were waiting
to be supplied with guns, the pro-
duction of which must be acceler-
ated.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

James Bennett was arrested Sat
urday evening on a warrant, and
stands charged with the larceny of
a bill of exchange drawn on the
bank of Bishop & Co. for s63, said
bill of exchange being the property
Of j. NJ. Kippen, lately deceased
in Honolulu, said bill of exchange
having been drawn by G. H..
Dickey, Of Makawao, Maui, and
stolen from the late j. M. Kippen
in Honolulu, on, or about Nov. II,
1888. 1t appears that few days
before Kippen died he made COM
plant to the police that he had lost
the cheque. Being detected in
trying to negotiate the document led
to Bennett arrest.
