Mr. Dansnhower il also building four houses
| on street between LIST and I'd streets north

houses in the northeast section recently, vet lac
tnds that there is ready demand for them.
IN THE NORTHEAST SECTION
One OF the largest and recent transactions in
property In the northeastern portion of the
city is the purchase by Mr.. A. Burgdorf OF
three triangular squares of ground. The land
Is bounded by Delaware avenue, I'd, N and
Boundary streets northeast. and is known al
squares Of no, Z OF I'll and N of TAI. Mr.
Burgdorf does not intend to improve this land
at present. He says that he thinks there is q
great future Tor property in that section OF the
city, and Is OF the opinion that he can afford to
hold the ground until he can determine upon
the best kind Of Improvement to make. He
also owns square go. which is bounded by New
York avenue, o, North Capitol and LIST streets
On square GIL. which is south of the above, and
is also owned BY Mr.. Burgdorf, he proposes
some time next year to erect upon this point O
large store and dwelling. Mr.. Burgdorf is one Of
the promoters of the music hall enterprise which
Is now being built at the northeast corner of 9Th

Pleasant Correspondence Passing Be
tween the Cleveland and Harrison
Families.
President Cleveland and Presi-
dent-elect Harrison have since the
election been dIgnified and friendly.
1t will be remembered that a short
time after the election Mrs. Cleye-
land wrote letter to Mrs. Harrison
and gave the future mistress of the
Executive Mansion a pressing invi-
tation that when she, with her hus-
band. came to Washington she spend
the days preceding the Inauguration
as her guest.
After it was a certainty that Mr..
Harrison had been elected. President
Cleveland wrote a letter to his sue
cessful opponent extending to him
congratulations on the result Of the
election which would make him the
Presidents successor. This natur-
ally and properly brought forth
pleasant reply from the future Presi-
dent. Since that time a very pleas
ant correspondence has been carried
on between the two distinguished
men. Some of Mr. Harrisons letters
have been in the nature of inquiries
regarding the daily routine of the
Office, together with many other
things which Genl. Harrison would
naturally desire to be informed upon.
Mrs Harrison has also been in
weekly correspondence with Mrs.
Cleveland with reference to many
household affairs which a woman of
Mrs Harrison's domestic thoughtful
ness and care would deem important
to know. 1t is said by those who
seem to speak from knowledge of
past changes of White House occu-
pants that more friendly relationship
with the outgoing and incoming |
families never existed Louisville |

PORTUGUESE HE6IRA THREAT
ENED.

The Movement to Emigrate TO Puget
sound-The Portuguese Press ON the
Matter.
The following Is a translation Of
an article in the Aurora Hawaiiana
Of February 9th:
.Some months ago the Portuguese
OF the district of Hilo began to feel
dissatisfied in consequence of the
planters dismissing their Portuguese
laborers, and putting in their place
cheaper Japanese hands, and became
alarmed with the future of their
families s. With a view
to remedy this state of things,
meeting was held in Hilo, and after
discussion il was resolved that a
delegate should be sent to Wash
ington Territory in the United
States. for the purpose of selecting a
suitable location for a future colony.
Two Of the delegates chosen, Louis
Cabral and joaquin Carvalho, pro
ceeded through the districts of Hilo
and Hamakua. soliciting the neees-
sary funds TO carry out this project.
The same gentlemen left IN the
steamer for kohala, to advocate
their emigration scheme Nearly all
the Portuguese Of Hilo, even those
who are still working on the planta-
tons. are resolved to embrace this
project, contributing each his dollar
for the realization OF it. Senr
Maneel CorTea. q wealthy and infu
entail Portuguese, was nominated
delegate 10 20 TO that territory, *
and if the information
which be brings from thence should
be favorable. to Immediately charter
q ship, and the emigration is to fol
low thereupon en- masse.
In conversation with some Of the
most intelligent Portuguese. they
express themselves as follows: that
the Homestead Act has been of no
service to them. IN consequence Of
It's serious delays, accompanied by
prolonged procrastination on the
part Of the Government Others
Still were of the opinion that even
those who had acquired home I
steads under the Act, would not /
have any market where they could |
dispose Of their produce; the more /
so that bad roads OF no roads at all |
and heavy freights all work against /.
them.
~lIt may be added here that the /
failure of AIr. Wilder's railroad pro /
feet has had the effect Of discourag-
ing these people from taking up the /
homestead lots offered by the Gov /
eminent in Hamakua.) Others again
say that seeing the planters and the
Government virtually work hand in /
hand. they cannot expect any assis-
tance from that quarter, and there
fore there Is no use in delaying any
longer
In view Of such a state of things
1t Is not surprising that in the opinion
of the Portuguese there remains for
them no other alternative than to |
abandon the country. If this move
ment Of emigration goes on, it means
neither more nor less than the de-
parture Of 1000 souls from this
island (Hawai)"
The editorial articles in both the
Portuguese papers strongly oppose
this movement. on account of the
cold and damp climate of Puget
Sound. and the difficulty which the |
poor emigrants viii have in sup
porting their families until they can
acquire a title to land, and render
those lands productive, etc.

Reliable Antidote for Ants.

Itried several methods to prevent
ants molesting bees and found the fol-
lowing far the most satisfactory: By
the use of crow bar make hole in the
center of the ant hill down to the bot
tom, which is easily found by the more
open or less compact earth. Then
turn into this hole gill of bisulphide
of carbon, and fill and crowd down
with earth. AS the liquid is very vol
atile and can not p IS out of the now
compactly filled hole. it quickly evap-
CRATES and kills all the ants. If clay
be near always use this to crowd into
the hole. as it is more impervious than
sand, though by firmly pressing with
the foot the sand can be made to hold
the liquid. Kerosene may be used in
stead of the carbon, but it is far less
effective. So, too, of carbolic acid.
By mean of strip. so covered by
gauze that bees are excluded, the ants
can be trapped in great numbers and
destroyed. l have often done this, and
by adding Paris green have poisoned
the ants.-Prof. A. j. Cook, in N. z

the Annoying Insect.
NJ. Alfred Russell Wallace has re-
nifty published a book on Darwin.
Is Mr.. Wallace is Spiritualist and a
borough Darwinian, it seems that the
monkey scare about our ancestry IS
lot so alarming after all. This is a
side remark. To the point in which
the fly figures. Mr.. Wallace points
out some facts, or grea many,
rather. to show there is a continual
competition, struggle and war going
on in nature. This struggle is ever
acting over the whole field of nature,
and no single species of plant or ami
NAL can escape from it. Says Mr..
Wallace: This results from the fact
of the rapid increase. in a geometrical
ratio, of all the species Of animals and
plants. In the lower orders this in
crease is especially rapid. a single
flesh fly producing 10000 larvae. and
these growing so quickly that they
reach their full size in FIVE days; hence
the great Swedish naturalist, Lin
naus, asserted that a dead horse
would be devoured by three OF these
fys as quickly as by lion. Each OF
these larvae remains in the pupa state
about five or six days, so that each
parent fly may be increased ten thou
sand fold in about fortnight. Sup
posing they went on increasing at this
rate during only three months of
summer. there would result one
hundred millions of millions OF
millions for each fly at the commence
ment of summer-a number greater
probably than exists at any one time
in the whole world. And this is only
one species, while there are thousands
of other species increasing also at an
enormous rate; 80 that, if they were
unchecked, the whole atmosphere
would be dense with flies, and all ami
NAL fool and much of animal life would
be destroyed by them. To prevent this
tremendous increase there must be in
cessant war against these insects, by
insectivorOus birds and reptiles, as
well as by other insects, in the larva
as well as in the perfect state. by the
action of the elements in the form OF
rain, hail or drought, and by other
unknown causes; yet we see nothing
OF this ever-present war, though by
it's means alone. perhaps, we are saved
from famine and pestilence.
So you see the fly, like every thing
else. when made the subject of scien.
tific study is very interesting little
nuisance. He has to fight the whole
world, and the world comes very
nearly being beaten sometimes.
think it is nip and tuck now, with the
fly triAe in advance. Is not the
whole matter strange? Without fly
we might have pestilence and with toe
much fly, and let alone. we would
have famine. Eat or be eaten is the
law of nature, and somehow we just
eat enough not to let any thing get ar
advantage. -Chicago Journal.
