PROF. MELVILLE ON MAUI.

A Successful Ascension and Rapid De-
scent - Mist and Clouds Passed
Through.
After one unsuccessful attempt Prof.
Melville succeeded in reaching the clouds
that hang around the tops of the west
Maui mountains. The cause of the fail
ure a week ago was not, as stated pre-
viously, due to holes burned in the
balloon, but to the sudden wind that
commenced to blow before the balloon
was fully inflated, and which, besides
making it impossible to proceed with the
initiation, forced the hot air and flames
down upon the Professors assistant,
badly burning and otherwise injuring
him.
phe ascension on Saturday was made
dnder somewhat unfavorable circum-
stances, there being gusty wind blowing
that knocked down both supporting poles
before the canvas was full and which
prevented the balloons being filled pro-
perly.
Notwithstanding which drawback the
plucky aeronaut started on his aerial
Journey few minutes past six o'clock.
| In less than three minutes he was lost to
sight of the enthusiastic crowd that had
gathered from the surrounding country,
and disappeared in silent, CHASTITY
manner into cloud that hung over the
mountains When last seen he was 60
| ing up, but it was not seven minutes be-
fore he was seen to come down at Wal
kapu, three miles distant. The descent
was rapid; somewhat more speedy than
comfortable, due, no doubt, to the rapid
cooling of the hot air by the damp clouds
into which the balloon assembled. The
height attained was over 1000 feet, pro
baby less than 5000, owing to the rapiC
condensation by the wet clouds.
Our thanks are due to the aeronaut to-
keeping his word and staying, to make
successful ascension even when by 81
doing he missed the steamer and wa
otherwise inconvenienced.

The telegraph poles brought by the
schooner G. II. Upper from British
Columbia, are now being landed at the
Esplanade wharf. They are of cedar
and have not durable appearance. in
most countries distant from the timber
forests of America, telegraph poles are OF
iron; and it is claimed that this material
possesses many advantages over timber
for telegraph poles, while the cost is not
much greater when durability is taken
into account.

So Haul In"

Yesterday a Chinaman was driving a
team in Maunakea street and accidently
fell between the two animals he was
driving. In falling the head OF the Gel
estial got entangled in the harness, and
he was nearly strangled when two natives
went to the rescue. No sooner had the
Chinaman recovered his breath than he
gave the usual cry of "haul in" and his
rescuers were arrested. Of course, when
they reached the Police Station they
were set free; but the incident shows
how much gratitude there is in some
persons. The Chinaman had turned
black in the face before he was got clear
of the harness.

BLINDNESS IN HORSES.

Neglect and carclessncss make more
blind horses than any other two things,
writes ID. Atkinson, NJ. D., in the Wash
ington Star, and many II valuable horse
has been irrctricvably injured by the
owner or his servant The blinds or
blinkers on the bride frequently induce
blindness, or cause serious injuries to the
eyes. If not properly adjusted they ag-
gravatc the horse, and in time causes scri-
GUS trouble. Some advocate the use of
open brides, but if proper blinkcrs are
used, and used as they ought to be, there
is no danger of eye trouble being caused
by them. Damp, dark stables are other
causes of defective eyesight in our ami
nal friends, which very few ever think
about. When snow is on the ground in
the winter many horses have serious
shock given to their eyes if they are
taken from the dark stables right out into
the open light. A severe pain will shoot
into both eyes until the animal gets ac-
customcd to the light, and if this practice
is persisted in the horses eycsight will
become seriously impaired. Dampness
also affects the eyes, and stables should
be guarded against this. Plenty of light,
and fresh, pure air should be allowed to
come into the stables Mt all hours of the
day, land the general health of the animal,
as well us his eyes, will he kept good.

We are curious to see what exhibit Ne
vada will make when the figures of next
years national census are completed, cx-
claims the Louisville Courier-Journal. AL
though for twenty-five years one of the
States of the American Union, her popu-
lation is but little over 10000, and many
of her own residents think there has
been an actual decrease in the number of
inhabitants since 1880. The State has
nothing of value except her mining inter
ests, and as these are beginning to decay
the people are forced to go elsewhere for
support. Nevada is nearly as large as
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky combined,
but in all its vast area there is not rs much
good agricultural land as many single
counties of the former States afford. The
soil is not even suitable for grazing, I'M
less cattle and sheep learn to live on sand
and sage grass. Lonely mountains and
lengthy deserts offer little promise to set
tiers, and Nevada is destined to remain
to us what the widest and blcakest of
the Highlands have been to Scotland,
fortunate if she should ever have a history
rich in romance like the country which
Scott has most picturesquely depicted.
Fifty years from now the. State will
probably not have reached a population
OF 100000. The two men who repre-.
sent her 60, 900 people in the Senate have
the same power as those who vote in the
name of Kentucky's two millions, Ohio.
four millions, or New York's six mil
lions.

SEED cLovElu

Seed clover is, year after year, one of
the most profitable. crops of the farm,
where the conditions are favorable to is
growth. The crop of the country is
never so large as to glut the market.
The man who has to buy clover seed in
the spring invariably pays what seems
like stiff price. Not infrequently the
seed clover brings more than the first
crop cut for hay.
One reason (pcrhaps the principal
one) why the crop of seed clover is SO
small, is that, as usually handled, it is
most disagreeable. Generally it is moved
away, as it is not thought possible to
keep it in stacks; and the wheat can be
threshed out of the mows by the time
the seed clover is cut. There are few
more disagrceable jobs than hulling
clover in the bar. The dust is sitting.
Men who suffer little Inconvenience in
threshing grain under cover, find that
their lungs and Threats will not endure
the dust in the barn where clover is
hulled. Besides, every corner of the
barn is fouled. 1t is impossible to keen
the dust within bounds.
This objection is obviated when the
clover is stored in barracks, where it NAV
be kept as we'll as in a NOV. The bar,

Old Sitting Bull himself is party to
this great deal made by his people with
the Government of the United States,
whereby it is expected the Sioux will
part with II, 900, 900 acres of their land,
and will receive in payment therefor the
modest little sum of SD, 100000 Sit
ting Bull with the learning of the arts of
peace has learned the fact that one hun
dred cents make one dollar, and that a
dollar may be rs valuable to red-faced
man as to palc-faccd child of civiliza-
ton. He and other leading men of his
nation have discovered that the white
man has an eye to n good quality of real
estate, and little vcrscd us they were in
agricultural pursuits they realized that
the land in question, which lies between
the Missouri and the Black Hills, which
they did not give up in the centennial
year of 1876, was strip of property
which the newer Corners to this CONT
nent regarded with eyes of greedy long
ing. Doubtless, too, it came to the not
quick apprehension of the Sioux gentry
that unoccupied land is not as plentiful
as Of yore, and that they would not
