EDITORIAL NOTES.

Minnesota has passed law providing for the hanging of criminals before sunrise and allowing the condemned to invite three per- sons to witness his taking of.
 Many are the disappointed. The editor of Harper's Magazine has about F, 600 manu- script stories submitted to him every year. Of these he selects seventeen for publication.
 Aphasia in a most extraordinary form is at present under treatment by Dr. Charcot. A Frenchman, aged sixty, learned English through living seventeen years in North America, and then Spanish after bis marriage with Spanish woman. He lost his com- mand of these languages in the inverse order. First he was unable to speak Spanish, then English went from him, aud lastly his native tongue, French. The afliction was sscribed to the softening of the third left lobe of the brain, and by a methodical practice in con- versation he regained his normal ability, re- covering the languages in the order of French, English and Spanish.
 There are some msn with souls above dol lars. W. A. Cuddy, Chaplain of the legisla- tive assembly of Arizona, which has just ad- iourned, has sent $22. 50 to the Treasury de- partment at Washington. It is part of the salary paid him ss chaplain. He writes "I cannot see that it is right for the rulers to take the peoples money and pay 1t out to some hypocrite to stand up before the legis- ative body and pray for pay" He also states that he once acted as clerk of the legis- lature and received for his services $640, but while performing this duty he was also em- ployed in selling whiskey. He thinks he should return the $640 to the government, and would do go if he had it.
 lu view of the efforts which have been made recently by Q number of the western banks to induce the comptroller of the our rency to have all the national bank returns to that official published by the government and forwarded to all the national banks, the Boston Daily Advertiser has sought for and obtained an expression of views from many of the principal banks of New England as to the desirability of such @ course. It appears from the returns that large majority are in favor of the plan, though others are in different, and still others think that such AO question, however, that the financial statis- tics represented by the operations of the na' tional banks would be advantageous to the | business community as 8 whole.
 The system of asphalt paving introduced 50 extensively in Paris has proved, it would
 seem, admirably adapted for the great driv' | ing streets, but not so well for those subject
 ed to heavy business traffic, and among thu
 advantages principally attributed to it ar'
 those of homogeneity of material, noiseless
 ness, perfect surface drainage, and the readi
 ness with which the roadway can be repaired
 that is, assuming that the asphalt material ii

lfrOm the WaShlngtOn Post
 The oldest office seeker swho called at the White House yesterday was little girl, about 12 years old, wearing short dresses and long yellow hair with bangs that fell almost to her eyes. She had been at the White House receptions several times, but yesterday was the first time it transpired that she had business with the President Her name is Elizabeth Morrell, and she lives at a little village near Suspension Bridge, N. Y. She has frequently visited ins Washington, and used often to go and see MT. Cleveland, the introduction being through her French Teacher, who not many years ago taught Miss Frances Folsom the correct Parisian accent. It occurred to Elizabeth that it would be splendid thing for her father to be collector of the port at Suspension Bridge, and it seemed to her the most natural thing in the world for the President to give him the office. So yester- day she went up to ask him for it. She gave her card to Doorkeeper Loefder, who declined to take the responsibility of intro ducing her, and turned her over to Private Secretary Halford, and to him Miss Eliza beth tolG her story. It was not much differ ent from that of the callers in the other room. Her father had worked hard for Gen. Harrison in the last campaign, and in fact had nearly worn himself out in his ef- forts for the success of the Republican party. That is about what they all say. The young lady's application is stored away in Private Secretary Hslford's memory, and will receive proper attention.

 Curious Mental Phenomenon.
 From the Pall Mall Gazette.l
 Under the above heading the current number of the Revue Rose publishes an in- teresting summary of an account recently communicated to the Societe de Biologie by N. Fere, and in which are embodied some of his experiences of the effect of either on persons at the point of death. It is well- known fact that the dying are often able to see the principal facts of their lives, which otherwise have been forgotten for many years, clearly and accurately before them. The reason for this clairvoyance M. Fere ascribes to 8 sudden modification of the cere- bral circulation, which can also be brought about by artificial means. Thus he tells of 8 case of patient who was dying of consump- tion. He had already lost consciousness, when, having been revived by two succss- sive injections of one gramme of ether, the dying man slowly raised his head ard rapid ly pronounced a string of words, which no one, near him was able to understand, as they were Flemish. After some movements indicating impatienee, he made sign that he wished to write. A pencil and paper were then handed to him, and he wrote rapidly three or four lines, also in Flemish. This man who was a native of Antwerp, had lived at Paris for many years and never wrote or spoke anything but French; but when dying he seemed to be unable to recol- lect that language. Afterward it was found that his pencil note was about debt of 15 francs. which he had borrowed from some- body at Brussels in 1868, and which had never been paid.
 h another case the patient WAS dying of lung disease He had tainted several times, and no longer replied to any questions put to him; his pulse was all but gone, but af- ter an injection of ether he turned toward his wife, saying rapidly. "You will not find that pin, for all the floor has been remade." which was all allusion to an incident of years ago. After uttering these words breath ing ceased.

.srHE REPERTOIRE
The Rising of the sun, Which Brings
 Favor and Dispenses Life.

The k&t0lnS or she Suns Hn1cn Bk1uSD Favor and Dispenses Life.
 Nine o'clock. The doors of the private
 apartment of the winter palace open. I'm
 mediately there is deathly silence. A voice
 announces. "The Emperor" The Czar ad-
 vances, followed by all the members of his
 family, each one in the rank assigned to him
 by his degree of relationship. If you wish
 to comprehend at glance the social secret
 of this empire, says writer in Harper's
 Magazine for May, turn your back to the
 door through which the sovereign enters,
 and looks at this entrance by reflection-ifI
 may so express myself-on the faces of those
 present. At the same moment all these
 physiognomies put on, as it were, the same
 uniform, the same solemn expression, at
 once grave and smiling. The whole vital
 force of these men and women is concen-
 strated in their eyes, which seek those of the master. We have never contemplated this spectacle without having been reminded of the first appearance of the rays of the sun on crests of mountains at the instant when it rises. You have no need to look behind you to know that the sun has risen; you are informed of it by this 4uivering light on the opposite summits. In the same way, when you are little accustomed to the court, you nave Ouly 10 LOOK aC tu0 Iaceb of the courtiers to be able to see, without possibility of mistake. that the Emperor is about to come, that the Emperor is coming, or that the Emperor has come. And his 1 coming is, in reality, rising of the sun-of 1 the sun which brings favor and dispenses l life to all these persons.
 The first bars of the polonaise immediate I ly re echo through the rooms. It is not dance, but cadenced march, the traditional l promenade which opens the ball The grand marshal and the grand mistress take l the head of ths procession. Generally this venerable couple represent between them pretty nearly two complete centuries. The Emperor gives his hand to one of the grand l duchesses, the Emperor to one of the foreign ambassadors, and other couples form in their ! suite and proceed around the room. After l this obligatory ceremony, the sovereign goes to chat with the diplomatic corps, or with 1 his grand dignitaries, and the quadrilles ! and waltzss begin; but the ball does not bs- come really animated until the mazurka, | that dashing military and par excellence national dance. The cavalier marks the rhythm of the music by striking the floor | with the heel of his spurred boot; he raises 1 his partner in his arms like trembling bird flashes across the room in three bounds, deposits his prey at the other end, and falls on his knee before her.

Fast Black Sateens.

 First, you can wear it at any time and not be afraid of it's shutting, spotting or turning color.
 Second, no acid or any other known min eral or vegetable matter can turn the color.
 Third, it is not heavy cloth and still is warm, being very finely woven. It drapes nicely and always looks clean and lady-like. It is fabric, once used, you never would be without dress of it. More comfort can be taken in riding, boating or travelling in a dress of this famous Black Sateen than in half dozen other dresses. Buy one, you will never regret it.

A MANOA GARDEN.
Acres of PineappIes on Mr.. KidwcIl's
Farm,


Farm.
Diversified industries" have been
one OF the gospels rung in the ears, or
rather paraded before the eyes OF the
people of this country, by the press for
many years. That everything in the
direction indicated has not been preach
ing, is proved by instances OF very graft
Tying practice. One OF these cases is that
OF Dir. j. Kidwell's farm at Wailele,
Manoa Valley. The ADVERTISER re-
porter mounted that gentleman's wagon
on Friday, and was driven by him out
through Punahou to his estate.
Mr. Kidwell has thirty-six acres at
Wailele, all cultivable but only por-
ton OF it cleared The principal crop
now growing is of pine-apples, there
being different varieties covering the
greater part of four acres. Without irri-
CATION and notwithstanding the pro-
longed scarcity OF rain, the plants are
fourishing in appearance even to luxurl-
ance. They are also fruiting finely and
the owner is not harassed with doubt as
to thorough success OF the crop.
Ground is cleared for more planting
OF the same fruit, besides which there is
room, where grapevines have been taken
out, for rows between some OF the
present ones. Mr.. Kidwell, besides hav-
ing been a practical farmer all his life, is
also an energetic one. During the few
months he has been in possession of this
farm he has, with very little hired help,
eliminated quantity OF lava boulders
and stones from the soil which would
have appalled, man OF less grit.
There is the making of a very fine
place in this property, and Mr.. Kidwell
is bound to have it such. There are
natural springs OF excellent water CEN
trally situated, which occupy a patent
windmill in pumping into a tank and
system of pipes. Almost anything capa-
bic of cultivation in the country can be
raised on the farm, but at present the
owner is making a specially OF pine
apples. A grove OF young lime trees
looks luxuriant in spite OF drought and
indicates a profitable fruit that may be
raised in odd pockets or borders.
An excellent style OF fowl yard, en-
closed with an airy but substantial article
of wire netting, is tenanted by many
feathered bipeds OF high breeds. This
is another Investigation Of profitable
home industry that the proprietor can
incidentally carry on with comparatively
little trouble. The place is very pleas
antly situated amid the finest scenery
Diamond Head, Round Top, other OF the
highest mountain peaks on this island,
and the Pacific Ocean being all in the
surrounding prospect.

Sunday School Exhibitions.

Kawaiahao Church was filled through
out the main auditorium, and many seats
in the gallery were occupied, on the &C.
casion OF the exhibition OF Sunday
schools on Sunday morning. Princess
Liliuokalani, Mr.. and Mrs. T.G. Gribble,
Hon. and Mrs. W. o. Smith, and Rev.
Principal Merritt, with others from Oahu
College, were among the visitors. Be-
sides Kawaiahao central, there were en-
gagged in the exercises the atfiliating
schools from Makiki, Manoa, Pauoa,
Moiliili, Maunakiekie and Kakaako.
The singing was very fine, among the
best being the performances, respec-
lively, OF Maunakiekie, Moiliili, and the
combination OF Kawaiahao school and
the choir OF the Kamehameha School for
Boys. A solo by Mrs. Walanika of
Manoa was exceedingly beautiful The
reading OF Scripture verses in concert led
by the Superintendent, Hon. w. r.
Castle, was impressive. Prof. H. Berger,
organist of the church, played accom-
paniments on the large organ to the con-
gregational singing. Hon. D. L. Naone
assisted the Superintendent in conduct
ing the exercises. Taken altogether this
is pronounced one OF the very best exhi-
billions ever given by the Kawaiahao
Sunday schools.
The Kaumakapii Church Sunday
schools had their exhibition at the same
time, under the conduct OF Mr.. A. L.
Smith, superintendent. There was a
large attendance of visitors, and the ex-
ercises were of a delightful character.
