Driven Deaf and Dumb.

Mr. R. D. Blake, q Little Rock con tractor met with q most peculiar aeei- dent in Argenta recently. Mr. Blake is engaged in putting up some buildings for the Union Brick X Fuel Company at the company's yards, short distance northwest of Argenta, While in Argen- ia on some errand, he mounted loeo~ motive which was running in the diree. tion which he desired to go. During the ride one of the cylinder cocks blow out, and the escaping steam made ter rife noise startling every body in tho ncighborhOod. After the steam had been shut off it was found that Mr. Blake was both deaf and dumb He has not uttered a word since the accident neither has he been able to hear any thing. Before the mishap he possessed these faculties in their full capacity. Another curious aspect of the unfortunate occurrence is that Mir. Blake suffers no pain what ever He is compeled, however, to com- municatc with those around him through the medium of writing and signs. It is supposed that the fright caused him 10 loose the power of speech and that the excessive noise caused by the escaping steam injured the drums of his ears. Notwithstanding his misfortune Mr. Blake continues his building operations.

NOT TO THE POINT.

If - = MOderner had any case,
he might have said a great deal
more, in considerably less space than
he occupied in last evenings Bulle-
tin. OF the greater portion Of his
verbiage, nothing need be said, except
that it is Of the usual and well known
Bulletin pattern. We desire simply
30 call attention to the fact, that the
questions Of law arising out Of the
seizure Of a ship for furnishing
..coutrabaud Of war" to insurgents
or other beiligerents, and the ques-
tons Of fact as to whether block
AIDE had been duly proclaimed, and
whether. if proclaimed, it was actu-
ally being maintained, or only ex-
i5ted on paper, are so essentially diff
rerent from those involved in the
case of the Bryant, as to make any
reference to them altogether ire
levant.
Near the end Of his discourse,
~ Moderner" drops the law and
goes into prophecy, telling us with
the positiveness becoming one who
enjoys sources Of knowledge not
open to ordinary mortals, Blaine
Will never allow the Hawaiian Gov
eminent to seize a vessel under any
such slim pretence as the law is in
the case Of the Bryant. "
1t is surprising how many people
profess to know all about what Mr.
Blaine thinks, how he feels, and just
what he will do under any suppose
bic circumstances. One might sup
pose that the Secretary of State
wore his heart on his sleeve, and his
brains on the outside of his hat.
Time will show whether "a Mod
erner's" knowledge of future events
is not on a par with his idea of law.

and a German clerk, Brandeis, was
made premier. Taxes We're laid.
land titles were patched up, and
German men-Of war patrOled the
coast. Everything bore the appear
ance of a stable government, but the
allegiance of the people was lacking
and the unceasing opposition Of the
British and Americans met every
act of this government. A year of
disaffectiOn, desperation, led the
natives to the rebellion Of last year,
the same that is now arOuslng the
sympathies of the American people.
In spite Of German bayOnets they
have proclaimed Mataafa King and
have beaten Tamasese at every point.
At present our Government ad
heres to the situation in 1887, when.
by existing Treaties with the three
Powers, AalietOa laupepa was king,
when Apia was governed by the
Consular board, and when the Wash
ingtOn conference was so abruptly
terminated. 1t is difficult to predict
what the Berlin Conference may de-
termine, but it Is improbable that
Bismarck viii abandon his old policy.
The good offices Of the United
States have been unavailng, and the
question now before the people is
the Interpretation of the term good
offices. 1t guarantees nothing more
than friendly Interference nOtwith-
standing the INSCRIPTIONS conduct
of Germany in this tragedy of in
sular partition. There Is limit to
our active sympathy for these unfor
tunate islanders, for our duty Is to
be measured by the treaty stipula-
tons and not with an eye to the
acquisition Of the islands themselves.
Situated as they are, nearly 5000
miles from San Francisco and nearly
1000 miles south of the equator,
they are Of far less importance to US
than Is any one Of the many islands
in the West Indies-a fact amply
proved by the history OF the late re-
bellion.
Much less is Samoa to be placed
in the same category with Hawaii,
the key to the dominion Of the Pa
cifc" and truly littoral port of our
western shores A cOaling- statiOn at
PangO- PangO is Of little use in time
of peace and is a great expense, the
last coal taken thence having cost
the Government about eighteen dol
lars a ton. In time of war it would
be difficult to protect and might per
haps furnish a depot for the enemy.
Absorption. partition, acquisition,
are to-day no less dOgmas of Euro
pean potentates than when, hun
dred years ago, Poland was cut from
the map by trio of assassins; and
our Republic cannot yet afford to
figure as a knight Grant against
feudalism.

fondness for the resonant tones of the
Hawaiian language and the hearty greet
ings of the people to the stranger or the
friend. Changes had come to places
and people the saddest of all to him
the small number that now attend
church.
Mr.. Damon told Of the good work done
in some Hawaiian churches for the
benefit of the Chinese. At Waimea,
Kauai, little nucleus had gathered for
Sunday school each Sunday after
noon. The Chinese pastor told of his
giving up the military and its emOlu-
meuts in China to enter the Christian
ministry, and the difficulties he had met
from the officials ana his family in pre-
pairing to preach the gospel under the
instruction of Rev. DR.. Happier, father

The association recommended the
establishment of 4 Juvenile Army Corps |
among the Sunday school, and specially |
pledged to the purchase of a small boat
for the Gilbert Islands Mission.
The Hawaiian Board was requested to |
secure the services of some experienced |
Hawaiian pastor as an evangelist to visit /
and rouse the various churches, now !
given over to Indifference and Incidence. |
Pastors were advised to establish spe- |
cial Bible classes for the systematic /
instruction Of the Sunday school teachers /
and the younger church members in the /
distinctive truths of the Bible, and their I
application to the life and work OF to-day /
in these islands.
