OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We have been making enquiries
about the public schools in and
around Honolulu and find the
number for the new scholastic year
somewhat larger than we had sup
posed. AS they have just opened, it
will be a matter of interest to the
general public to know what these
schools are and who the various
teachers are.
There are two select schools under
the Board of Education, viz: Fort
street school and the Beretania
street primary school; all the others
are free. Fort street school has an
enrolment of about $50 scholars
under seven teachers. The prin-
cipal is Prof NJ M. Scott; vice prin-
cipal and teacher of languages, Mr..
A. V. Gear; assistants, Miss Brown,
Miss Winter, Miss N. Needham, Miss
Walker and Miss Courser. The
course of study extends from the
lowest primary to high school
grade. The Beretania street school
has just been opened. It is for chill
dren under ten years of age. Miss
Duncan, a California teacher of
great experience, is in sole charge.
Foremost among the free Govern
ment schools stands the Royal
school, of which the Rev. A. Mack
intosh is principal, Mr. Peck vice
principal, and the following ladies
assistants: Miss Nellie Brown, Miss
Taner, Miss A. Walker, Miss Brick
wood, Mrs. j. Brown, Miss Mist,
Miss n. Ladd, Miss K. Mcintyre
and Miss H. Ladd; total of eleven
teachers. The Royal school is only
for boys, of whom nearly 400 are en-
rolled.
The Pohukaina school is for girls
alone. Miss Corney is principal,
and she has for assistants Miss
Bernice Barnard, Miss Atkinson and
Miss A, Mossman, the latter being
substitute for Miss A. Dudoit, at
present absent on leave.
The Kauluwela school on School
street between Nuuanu and Liliha,
which has been open not quite one
year, has Mr.. G. H. White for prin-
cipal, and Mrs. Wood and Miss
White for assistants It numbers
about 140 scholars.
Taking the outskirts of the city,
there is school at Moanalua under
Mrs. Hookano, native lady; one at
Kalihi-waena, close to the Kameha-
meha schools, of which Mr.. Gal
lagher is principal and Miss Leta
Wilder assistant. At Kalihi-uka is
a school in sole charge of Mr.. G.
Carson Kenyon. Miss Markham
teaches the school at Waikiki-kai,
Miss Kate Lishman at Moiliili, Miss
R. Davidson at Manoa and Mr..
Cuelho has just commenced his
career as teacher at Marquesville-
At all these schools English is
taught, and the foundations of
good practical education are being
laid.

 Perhaps the best argument against duel- ling that was ever made is to be found in the late Senator Bakers oration over the body of Senator Broderiek, Terry's victim. It Is as follows: The code of honor is delusion and snare; it palters with the hope of true courage and binds 1t to the feet of crafty and cruel skill. It surrounds It's victim with the pomp and grace of the procession, but leaves him bleeding on the altar. It is a shield, blazoned with the name of ohivalry, to cover the nalignity of murder. It substitutes cold and deliberate preparation for courageous and manly impulse, and arms the one to disarm the other; it may prevent fraud be- tween practiced duelists, who should be for ever without it's pale, but it makes the mere blest cause and truest courage. Its. .pretence of equality is lie. It is equal in all the form, it is unjust in all the substance-the habitude of arms, the early training, the frontier life, the border war, the sectional custom, the life of leisure, all these are ad- vantages which no negotiation can neutralize and which no courage can overcome.

TROUBLE IN M IANITOBA.


 The separate school question is 8 'burn- ing" one in Manitoba. Mr. Smart, mem Der of the lecal government, has just been telling people what the situation is. He showed that the returns of the various school districts gave the number of Roman Catholic school children at 4,3O0, the non-Catholic at 1S, ,O0O; the Roman Catholic or separate schools number 59 with 1O7 teachers, the public schools 495 schools with 637 teachers, yet the separate schools get one fifth of the provincial grant; that Is s22, 2,210, or at the rate of $376 each, while the public schools get the remainder, $97, ,749, at the rate of $197 each. MT. Smart further charges that the Roman Catholics overstate the number of their teachers, citing as evidence the case of the convent at Brandon, entered as separate school, which he declares on his own knowl- edge has but 30 scholars, with an average at- tendance of 20, yet it is represented that it employs five teachers or one to every four scholars, a manifest absurdity. MT. Smart's estimate of relative school taxation of Roman Catholics and Protestants in Manitoba is $4.07 DOT pupil for Roman Catholics and $12. 03 for Protestants. This Is certainly not fair. The Winnipeg Sun hits the nail on the head when it says In principle there is no possible defense for separate schools for Roman Catholics, and there are no exeep- tional circumstances existing in Manitoba to suggest any departure from wholesome rule. This fact, if closely inquired into, should be recognized by all classes of the community and misconceptions prevented. Were com pulsory attendance upon the state schools de- manded there might be room for complaint on the part of the minority, but so long as these schools are undenominational, and in reference is attempted with the religious faith of no child, all should be expected and should expect to contribute to their support. We see nothing in all this that would justify the cry of religious persecution.

rhe Snake Blt the Wooden Leg.

The following amusing tale, of which a Nevada justice was the hero, is told by western traveller: "While wandering about in the vicinity of Rockbound Lake, accom- panied by boy, the judge was struck on the leg by the fangs of large rattlesnake. The boy witnessed the snake strike the judges leg and ran back to the hotel at Rubicon and gave the alarm. rescue party was hur- riedly organized by the guests. The party, armed with at least barrel of whiskey in fasks, decanters and bottles, hastened in the direction of the spot where the judge had been bitten by the venomous reptile. The members of the rescue party had not pros ceeded far on their humane mission when they observed the judge approaching his usual limp in walking seemed greatly inten- sified by their alarmed imaginations. A grand rush wns made for the judge and hundred fasks were instantly uncorked, the odor of whiskey supplaating that of fragrant pines, frs and wild fowers-each owner of flask being eager to have the judge first par take of the contents, and others endeavoring to strip his trowsers off to apply healing oint- ments to the waund. The judge finally was able to explain that he had been struck on the leg by rattler, and while indicating with his finger the spot where the reptiles poisonous fangs, remarked that 1t was his wooden leg that had been bitten, and there fore the wound would not prove serious. The judge afterward killed the snake and ex- hibited the end of the tail as trophy, which is crnamented with seven rattles."

PROTECT THE BRAKEMEN.
 When will the cry of the brakemen be heard2 Ever since railroads were first used these humble workers have been maimed or killed with great frequency. and until lately without much protest. But during the last two or three years there have been occasional protests, strengthened by the knowledge that there are inventions which if adopted by the railroads would do away almost entirely with the wouuding and killing of brakemen. The writer once asked prominent railroad man ager why they were not adopted. His reply was that it would cost too much. We sup pose it is found cheaper to get new brakemen than new brakes and couplers. The brutality of this needs no illustration.
 Moved by the dangers of their work ten thousand brakemen have petitioned the h. terstate Commerce commission that the use of automatic brakes and couplers on freight cars be made compulsory on the railroad companies of the country. Automatic
 brakes and couplers," says the petition, ''are practicable, no one would be injured, and many lives and limbs would be saved by their adoption" This is unquestionably true, and the petition of the brakemen ought to be supplemented by such support from the press, the pulpit and other influences that the railroad companies would be shamed into doing something to protect these men. The present situation is nothing less than shock. fnp

 It is stated of the Italians that the emigra- tion of females from Italy is smaller than from any other country, averaging but 13 per cent. of the whole number who land. From Germany the percentage is 40, from Ireland 45. Of 5000 Italians who landed at Castle Garden last year there were 34, 900 males.
 contributor to the September number of Soribner proves from an examination of the figures standing for the entire passenger traffic in the United States for 1887 that traveller might have gone 51 ,000, ,000 miles by 1 rail before being killed or 12,0O0, ,0O0 before being injured. It is evidently safer to travel than to stay at home.
 The Rev. Hugh o. Pentecost, who is some- what known in this region, Is reported as speaking thus in his discourse Sunday: of knew burglar was in my house at night would go to him with light, unarmed, and talk to him as I would to friend whom l desired to help. If he then desired to take my goods would make no protest, nor would I cause his arrest. would follow him to

EIGHTY.Slx ACRES
For WESLEYAN Universitv.

DR.. Daniel Ayres, emeritus professor of
clinical surgery in the Long Island college
hospital, has been extremely liberal with his
fortune toward institutions of learning. Last
April he added to his many endowments $685.
600 to Wesleyan University, toward the es-
tsblishment of chair in biology. This gift
he completed few days ago, when he dsed-
cd to the university eighty six acres under
cultivation at Montolair, N. j., valued at
about $50, 000.. The gift has not yet been
formally accepted by the trustees, but it will
be acted upon at the December meeting OF
the board
