OBSERVATIONS ON XERXES.

EDITOR BULLETIN :--G esterday, ]
read with some degree of interest, a
correspondence published in your
issue, on "School Matters" signed
by "Ncrxes," and though l agree
with him, in the general views eX.
pressed as TO the modes of properly
teaching the young intellectual buds
to blossom, | do not entirely con-
cord with him, in his attack upon
the actions, or bearings of the In
spector-General. His language
there imports TO me the wall of one,
who having met with just handling
from this official, seeks--under the
cover of his desire to have youth
properly instructed--to give the
patient and Christianlike enduring
public the sum of his personal griev-
ances or spite. After considering
the matter am prone to think, that
more than possible the Inspector
was right in kicking teacher out,
because he, no doubt, weighed the
teachers capabilities, in the scale of
honest judgment, and finding him
wanting, used the only method of
reformation, allowed him, namely,
dismissal.
would like to suggest to "Ner-
xes" in mild and entirely pacific
mood, that one of the "imported
teachers from foreign country
who come "by the boat load" if he
be qualified is more apt to honestly
advance the cause of education
than are those, who come singly
and not in the "boat load," and are
not capable. From the tenor O.
"Xerxes' letter, l would AGAR
mildly suggest, when he feels in
clined to vcntilate his spleen, let hin
do so in the glare of the day, anc
not under the sheltering cloak o
an ardent desire to promote th,
proper intellectual advancement o
youth. His points then would no
suggest so much palpable bosh.

Mr.. GRIBBLE'S LETTER.

Special attention is invited to q
communication in this issue from
Mr.. 7. Graham Gribble, Manager
of the Hawaiian Tramways Com
pany. Mr.. Gribble requests anyone
who has any grievance against the
tramways to present the same TO
him in definite shape, that he may
apply the remedy. He also invites
suggestions in regard to lines to be
opened. The Tramways Company,
through its manager, thus evinces a
desire to conduct its enterprise in
way to satisfy the public wish, a
course which has been invariably
followed from the commencement of
its operations. The self-interest of
some and the prejudice of q few
others would, no doubt, rather the
tramway did not exist; but vast
majority of the public perceive its
benefit TO themselves, which they
are already enjoying in a limited
measure, and hail it with welcome,
wishing success to the company
which has brought them the boon.
1t is to the interest of the tramway
people that the public should be
satisfied, and they may be depended
upon TO do their best to this end.

DANGERS ON THE HIGHWAY.

EDITOR BULLETIN Last night,
when going over my regular milk
route, met with what might have
proven serious accident. Going at
my usual quickened speed and with
my wagon heavily loaded, | suddenly
came in contact with Il large pile OF
water pipes placed almost in the cen
tire of the road. The night was not par
ticularly bright at that hour, and
there being no light, or danger signal
on or near the obstruction, of course
/ was upon it before knew it. For
tunately my horses escaped uninjur-
ed, but my harness was injured, by
the bursting Of straps, etc. 1t seems
to me strange that there should be
no lamps burning, to warn travellers
against such distractions, aud it is
more so, as the electric lights are not
to be depended upon, ! had a SINH
lar accident some months ago. Is
there no way in which contractors or
builders could be compelled to secure
travellers against such dangerous OBJ,
structions? ii. A. JUEN.

TUESDAY, FEB. 26, 1889.
UNSAFE.

A rubbish hole in Emma Square
was left in an unsafe condition last
evening. Boards were placed over
it, but not boards enough to cover
it fully. Several small children
accidently got their feet and legs
through the openings, during the
concert, and were much frightened
if not hurt. If it be deemed neces-
sary to have holes in the Square for
the reception OF rubbish, which is
naturally abundant in a place where
trees and shrubbcry are so plentiful,
they should be securely covered on
occasions of public gatherings.
Trap doors attached to station
airy frame work would be safe and
convenient.

NOT OVERWORKED.

EDITOR BULLETIN: :-"Punahou,"
in an article in your issue of yester-
day, under the heading of PRO
test" makes very specious, and
philanthropically tinged objection to
what he is pleased to consider cruelty
to the mules employed by the Tram
ways Company. "Punahou" is
either person who sees things
through a dSubly magnifying glass,
or one Who has never seen the work
ings Of the locomOtors of similar
cars in the States. In this city two
mules haul two small cars, for a
comparatively short distance, over Il
road with very little or no uphill
grade. A very light load indeed,
when compared with that usually
put on large freight wagon or
dray. Whilst in New York, or any
other large city of the States, cars
of the size of those used by the
Tramways Co, (called there "Bob-
tails") and holding at least one
third more passengers, are invaria-
bly, drawn by one horse, and in
many instances one mule. These
mules, though small, are of re-
markable strength and endurance
and seem-as evidently they are
ordained by the Creator to be the
carriers of heavy loads. You are
mistaken "Punahou" these mules
are not lily treated, and your
thoughts in that relation must rise
from an overchargcd philanthropic
nature, superinduced by an utter
ignorance of the little animals cap
acity and endurance. A. b.

The Orlando Record says that Mr.. j. c..
Jones left Tuesday night by the II o'clock
fast mail for New York, on business con-
nected with his phosphate lands in the
southern part of the State. Mr.. Jones has
an interest in a large body of phosphate de-
posits, which he discovered several years
ago. A number of large capitalists are asso-
ciat6d with him, and it is expected that
work will soon be commenced preparing the
phosphates for market which are claimed
to be much richer than the celebrated
Charleston deposits.
General Tilson and Mr.. Mote have offered
(provided they can make necessary arrange

with this expenditure there will also be con

These buildings will be put up, provided the

DAFT, in Susquehanna county, the scene
Of his boyhood's days.
Minister Phelps is accompanied BY ex-
Speaker Galusha A. Grow. The object
Of the visit is to give Mr.. Phelps an OPP
portunity TO look mp the old landmarks
IN and about Dnndaff, with which he
was familiar in his barefooted boyhood,
before he became known 90 fame and
fortune and New Jersey. Mr.. Grow il
also SusQuehanna boy. His biography
states that he first distinguished himself
as q protectionist in that part Of the
country by sitting astride OF his mother's 8
barn and making . great racket on the
roof with q waffle TO scare away the
wild pigeons that descended in clouds
upon the infant wheat fields.
Mr.. Phelps was more of q truant than
Galusha as q lad, and in his spare hours
he used to startle the natives By chasing
the .'sea serpent in Crystal lake. He
was prodigy as a swimmer and ac-
cording to the stories extant among the
old settlers he could give the s'sea SER
pen" points in aquatics. Both Mr..
Phelps and Mr.. Grow are q credit TO old
Susquehanna and the aristocratic Dun
daffers are delighted over the fact that
this visit settles the much disputed
question of Minister Phelps birthplace.
As many localities had recently been
claiming this honor as there have been

The veteran residents, however, dis.
tinctly remember Minister Phelps as q
boy and are proud OF il now that he has
distinguished himself as statesman
and diplomat.
