4 CHINESE TIGER STORY,

Here is Chinese tiger story from
paper called the HUI Pao: West
of Kaiding City, Kwantung Prov
ince, in a wild, mountainous local
ity, lies the little village of Taklung
Tsun. Outside the village is lit
tie old temple of Wu-ti, and the
man in charge, who is not shaven
priest, carefully locks himself in at
night; but two holes drilled in the
door afford him a means of look
ing out and a guarantee against
sutfocation. One night tiger came
and crouched just outside the door
for long time, as if he knew there
was a man inside. He then first
put paw in through one of the
holes and clawed around, and next
inserted his tail to feel for his prey
with this sensitive member. The
temple guardian, maddened with
fear, got chopper and waited for
the animal to renew the experiment
and then dealt violent blow and
cut the tail through. The tiger
gave roar that shook the tiles on
the roof of the joss-house, and then
charged at the door repeatedly,
finally knocking it off it's hinges
and on to the man who had been
trying to prop it up on the other
side. The tiger charged in over
the PROSTATE door, and, not seeing
the man who was hidden by it,
seized one of the josses which stood
on each side Of the door in it's jaws
and galloped away, while the man
bolted off to the village. The next
day some grasscutters on the noun
tains found the joss lying on wild,
lonely hillside, where it had been
abandoned by the tiger, and, recog-
nizing the sacred image, brought it
back to the village, and there heard
the extraordinary story of it's re-
moyal.

C0URTING IN AUSTRALIA.

sour blacks" said Mrs. J. r. Reid,
native of New South Wales, "are
different in type from the African.
Their hair stands up, wiry and
bushy, like that Of the Circassian
woman in your dime museums. In
the bush they wear no clothes, but
when they come in town the author
tiles compel them to be clad. The
women object strenuously to cloth
ing. II you give woman a gown
she will seldom put but one arm in
a sleeve, letting the garment hang
from her shoulders and displaying
one side of her bosom. The blacks
find an abundance of food, and thus
there is no incentive for themto
accept civilization and learn to
work. The country swarms with
kangaroos, walvarbies Can animal
similar to the kangaroo). rabbits
and birds. Then the blacks make
a large part of their diet of snakes
and worms. Worms they eat raw,
just as they are dug from the earth.
They eat snakes of all kinds.
1.-The blacks are not prolific, a
couple seldom having three chill
dren. The women, of course, are
brutally abused by the males, and
kept in the most degraded state of
servitude. When a black wants a
wife he falls upon some young
woman, chokes her so she cannot
cry out, and runs with her into the
bush. There he must stay with her
for three or four months. He can
not return to his own tribe until
the expiration of this period. When
he does take her back, if she utters
no complaint of hunger against
him-that is, if she does not show
that he has utterly failed to supply
her with sufficient worms, kangaroo
meat and snakes-he can keep her.
But for a year he must stay out of
the way Of her tribe, for if they
catch him they will XIII him and
take the young woman back. The
sign of the married state adopted
by the women is the pulling out of
one front tooth. When the male
becomes a Benedict he indicates
the joyful fact by cutting off the
little finger of his right hand at the
first joint. They live in low, skin
covered huts, and, l think, are in
every respect beneath the North
American Indian intelligence. y

mentions two other persons who
were cured Of violent colds by the

we may add that of the present

The Catholics and the Schools.

Mr.. EDITOR: l remarked in my first
communication On the above subject,
that the letter of the Bishop of Olba con-
tanned nothing new. The ground has
been fully gone overin the United States
and elsewhere, and ought by this time
to be familiar to every one who takes
any interest in public schools. 1t has
been my fortune to pass most of my life
in a community where the Catholics
were numerous and influential. There
as elsewhere, the first struggle was
against the Bible in the public schools
Of course, the Catholic ecclesiastics,
operating in the midst of large Pro-
testant surrounding, were careful not to
lively Catholic countries shows to be the
fact, viz: that their church objects to
the Bible itself, as book to be gener-
ally allowed in the hands of the laity.
Accordingly the ground was taken that
1T was not the book itself, but only the
particular version of it which was OBJ
jected to. The English Bible in com
mon use, sometimes spoken of as King
James version, was the work of PrOtes-
tants. 1t was not accepted by the Cath
ollC Church as q correct or authorized
version. 1t was essentially a sectarian
work, which encouraged, if it did not
directly inculcate, pernicious errors and
damnable heresies. To compel the
children of Catholic parents to listen to
the reading OF such book, and to teach
ing based thereon, was an outrage on the
ri of T,hi oh -
quietly submitted to. After long and
heated contest the attacking party car
ried their point, and the Bible went out
of the public schools. What was the re-
suit, peace? Not by any manner of
means. After pause just about long
enough for the cOmbatants to recover
their breath, the fight was renewed.
Not as might be supposed by the de-
feated party endeavOring to recover their
lost ground, but by the victors, who
made the success of their own efforts,
and the change which they themselves
had brought about, the ground of fresh
complaints and demands. Catholic pa
rents, we had been told, could not send
their children to the public schools, with
clear conscience, because they were
Protestant" and "sectarian" Now
that the schools had been entirely
purged OF the offensive element, pre-
cisely as the church had asked, it APP
peared that good conscience forbade
the Catholics sending their children to
these schools because they were good
e5s," and a goddess school appeared
to be even a worse abomination, if pos
sible, than Protestant one. This course
of conduct cannot be regarded as fair or
candid. When lawyers do such things
to gain point, we do not hesitate to
call it quibiIling and pettifogging. When
similar practices are resorted to by those |
who claim to be the especial representa-
tives of the Kingdom of God in the
earth, it can hardly be characterized by
any name less harsh. But call it by |
what name we may, whether of com
mendation or condemnation, the whole |
proceeding is strikingly characteristic of |
the source from which it proceeds, and

SHERIFF HITCHCOCK is doing good work
on Hawaii, and is showing himself to be
a thoroughly energetic public servant,
and one who never spares himself physi
cal exertion when duty has to be done.
He has bounced down upon various parts
of the Island, and has pretty nearly
cleared it of the illicit liquor sellers.
These illicit liquor dealers were chiefly
Portuguese and Chinese. The districts
of North and South Kohala, of Hamakua
and of Hilo have been completely swept
off their feet. The Sheriff shoufd~now
devote himself to the okolehao distillers.
This LIQUOR is made from the ii root,
which grows in the forest sections of
Hawaii, and for this reason the distil-
leries are hidden away in remote places
from the settlements, and consequently
more difficult to find. They are, as far
as we can learn, by no means completely
eradicated. To assist him in this work,
and in fact in all the work of the Island,
the Sheriff should have at his disposal
small force of mounted police. We al
luded to this matter few weeks ago.
To efficiently patrol an island like Ha-
wall especially-but the remark holds
good for the Islands in general proper
mounted force is necessary. AS it is now,
there is no patrolling. When a crime is
reported down goes a squad of police,
but the police are only used for punish
ment and arrest, not for repression. Now
their functions are two-fold, they have to
keep order as we'll as to punish for
breaches OF the law. AS the case now
stands they can and do fulfill only one
part OF their duty.

specifications Wanted.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS Hawaiian citizen,
having my home and family here, and
everything at stake in this country, l
desire to ask the correspondents OF the
Daily Bulletin to specify their charges
against the present Government and its
supporters. If there is just cause for the
wholesale and general accusations made,
the condition of affairs is such as to de-
mand instant and searching examina-
ton.
1 believe that the great body of honest
and sincere citizens of this Kingdom de-
sire faithful and efficient Government
for the benefit of all that they have no
desire to hold office, or to have the Gov
eminent run in the interests of any midi
vidual or class of individuals.
If there is sufficient occasion for the
fierce and serious charges made, every
citizen should be fully informed of the
facts. If they are merely the ranting
and vituperation of dishonest and insin-
cere persons, the public should know it.
