The Latest Artesian Flow.

Messrs. McCandless, the artesian we'll
borers, succeeded last week, after reach
ing a depth OF $50 feet, in tapping a fine
reservoir OF pure water, on the premises
OF Hon. J., B. Anterior, King street.
The well is encased with 756 inch iron
pipe, and sends out very powerful
stream-second only in size to Judge
McCully's Lady Agnes" On Monday
week, the well was fitted with atwo-inch
aperture, and threw up jet twenty-five
feet in height. Mr.. Williams, who is
always hunting up novelties, was on
hand with his instrument, and took
negative of the fountain, the picture
from which will give a better idea of its
beautiful appearance than any written
description. Those who saw this foun-
tain playing say that it was as fine
sight as any seen in other countries. Ii
such a fountain were in daily operation
in front OF the Palace or the Govern
ment House, it would be an additional
attraction to the place.

JUDICIAL DECISION.
The Famous Coat and Land Case-Dis.
senting Opinion by Judge Dole.

The Famous Coat and Land Case-Dis-
senting Opinion by Judge Dole.
Our readers will remember an equity
case, in which one Kailaa petitioned to
have deed declared a mortgage and
cancelled. Kailaa went into a Chinese
tailor shop to get coat costing $16. He
did not have the money to pay for the
garment and therefore the tailor would
not deliver it. A man named Kaaukai
being in the shop offered Kailaa the
money and talked about buying piece
OF land from him. The upshot was that
Kaaukai gave Kallaa 800, and received
in return deed of the land in question.
hailaa afterward wishing to repay what
he considered the loan, was told by Ka-
aukai that the land had been resold
to third party named Mana. Kailaa
rendered the $40 to both Kaaukai and
Mana, but both of them refused to yield
their titles to the land. kailaa then en-
tered bill in equity to declare the deed
a mortgage as above stated, and Judge
McCully granted the petition and issued
decree commanding Kaaukai and
Mana to surrender their deeds, the
former to accept the repayment OF the
$40. This decision was appealed from
to the Supreme Court in banco, and
Chief Justice Judd and Justices Nc
Gully, Preston and Bickerton have rend-
cred an opinion dismissing the appeal
with costs. Justice Dole concludes a
dissenting opinion thus: "It may be
that there was evidence that would
make Mana liable in the matter, but the
record as it stands does not implicate
him to my mind, but leaves him in
position of an innocent third party who
is entitled to protection as such"

Healthy Appearance of the GrOunds-A
Professional Gentleman. from the
States at the Institution.
The Government Nursery is looking
well. Our reporter took brief stroll
through the grounds with MIR. Carl
Willing, the gardener Of the institution,
Tuesday. -Four new species Of mango
are displaying fne-looking fruit. There
is distinct favor of carrot in the leaves
OF one East Indian mango, and in an
other q strong turpentine aroma peculiar
to our common mango. 4 Glove tree is
showing fine development Of buds, and
Mr.. Willing considers this an excellent
product for raising by small cultivators.
Australian nut trees are coming on well.
In fact there are trees, plants and
flowers from hundred climes- within
the enclosure. An officer Of H. B. N. S.
Conquest, who was an enthusiastic and
frequent visitor to the Nursery, on re-
turning here after q cruise to South
America, brought a variety Of rare seeds
in different lines OF horticulture. OF
these are some pretty ferns in the fern
cry, where some orchids are Towering
handsomely. There will be more plants
ready for public distribution before long.
DIR. SAKE, a visitor from the States, who
was here in 1880 and again in 1884, the
latter year evincing much interest in the
then young Nursery, paid visit to the
place yesterday in company with Mr. r.
W. Meyer, Of Aiolokai. The Doctor, who
is evidently in love with botanical and
horticultural science, went all over the
grounds under Mr.. Vikings guidance,
making a note of everything novel or
rare encountered.

The Most Drunken Country.

Belgium still holds its own as the
most drunken country Of Europe.
On an average each man, woman
and child consumes yearly 240 quarts
of beer and IL quarts of spirits. It
may be that Bavarians drink more
beer than that and Russians more
spirits, but taking both together the
Belgian record is unrivalled.
The Government is at last
aroused to a sense of the
evils Of the situation, and some in
structive laws are to be put in force.
The right to collect by legal process
debts incurred in drinking-houses
has been abolished; it is forbidden
to sell drink to persons under six
teen years of age, and to sell any
one liquor until he is drunk is made
crime. The effect of these laws will
be looked for with interest. 1t can
scarcely fail to be for good.-N. Y.
Tribune.

STRUCK 1T RICH.
The Bereaved Widow And The Enter
prising Tombstone Agent.

In the Willamette valley there re-
sided an old farmer and his wife, in
every sense of the word happy and
contented, and withal well-to-do. But
there came upon that household a
very great grief; the death angel Wis.,
tied it and took away its staff-the
aged farmer went to the home of his
fathers. This left the old lady desti-
tute and alone. The companion of
her declining years gone to his long
rest, no children to make her poor
heart glad, she longed for some one in
whom to confide, to whom she could
look for help and comfort in her old
age and her decrepitude.
A young tombstone agent travelling
over that part of the country, and
being in search of dead people, heard
of the death of her husband, and
learning also of her well-filled pocket
book, decided to visit her at her home
and stay few days and recuperate
having been travelling pretty faith
fully for some time. It was his inten
ton to make himself as useful as pos
sible to the sorrowing lady, and ef
fectually work himself into her con
fdence and esteem, when he naturally
expected to secure an order for large
and costly monument. He accordingly
did as he had planned, and was more
successful than he had even dared Il
picture to himself, so much so tha
his hostess seemed to place the great
est confidence in him, and appeared
to like him very much. He woulC
carry in water, chop stove wood, il
fact do anything and everything t.
please her. &.
He had been there but few days
and was beginning to think of broach
ing the subject of his fondest hope
when she astounded him one day a
the dinner table In a way never
dreamed of. Shesuddenly asked hin
DO You know what 1 am going t.
do?" The young man of course re
piled that he did not. She then SAT-
slowly and distinctly: "I'am going t,
will all my money and property tt
you. I like you and believe you art
an honorable young man, and one VIII
will take care of me In my old age.
3, The young man of course tried t
reason with her, and urged the pecul
iarity of such move, but she still pei
sisted in her determination to max
him her heir When he saw that sh
was determined In the matter, h
agreed to it with the proviso that sh
should deed it to him for a consider
alton so as to avoid complication
with relatives. The consideration
was ten dollars. Thus ended a mos
peculiar bargain.

MAJOR GENERAL SCHoFIELD. COM
manding the army, urges that the
present five regiments of artillery be
increased to seven, with but one first
lieutenant, instead of two for each
battery; also that the strength of the
army be increased from $4,000 to 3d.
600, SO as to always have at least 25,-
600 in the field. He then attacks the
present system of promotion in the
line of the army and charges that it
works great injustice to some officers
serving from eighteen to twenty-five
years as first ieutenants, while others
who are promoted have served but
eleven or twelve. He recommends
that hereafter these promotions be
made according to seniority of COM
mission and not as now by regiments.
He commends highly the militia of
the country, indorses the views of his
subordinates on sea-coast defenses
and adds that if the present plan be
carried out during the war the garri-
sons will have TO be composed of 35,-
600 artillery and 5000 men will be
enough. If given this increase the
force at the Preside of San Francisco
will be three batteries, and at Fort
Candy two batteries.
