COURT PROCEEDINGS.

On Monday, the case of the King
VS.. Yagi and Yagachi (Japs), charg-
ed with murderous assault on a
Chinaman at Kohala, came on for
trial and unanimous verdict of
guilty was rendered in the case.
The Acknowledgement and Mr..
Creighton for the Grown; Mr.. Kat
sura for the defense. On Tuesday
one of the to be cause celebres of
our Hawaiian Courts was called,
viz that of the King VS.. Wo Sau,
for the murder of Quon Zip at
Honomu, Hilo, last July, and-in-
dicted as accessories with him
Lam Gee, alias Aki, and Ten Yick.
After exhausting the whole panel
of jurors summoned, about 80 per-
sons were further summoned to at
tend for the purpose of jurors. The
examination of the persons called
disclosed that to be true, which the
attorneys for the defendants claim
ed on the opening of the case, that
the feeling among the residents of
the District was such that they be-
lieved that a change of venue ought
TO be had in the case. More than
80 persons were examined, we be-
lieve, before an unbiased jury was
obtained. The jury was not sworn
in before Wednesday noon. The
Acknowledgement assisted by Mr..
Creighton was for the prosecution
Messrs. Neumann, V. V. Ashford,
Hitchcock and Miss Hitchcock for
the prisoners. The jury have been
quartered in the Old Coney premi-
ses, when out OF Court. On Friday
the Crown abandoned the case, as
far as Lam Gee was concerned. AT
The time of our going to press the
case was still on, the witnesses for
the defense being examined.
On Sunday the Sheriff with a
large posse went to where Witnesses
testified To having buried the bag of
bones, and found the same.
The King VS.. Apoi and Apana,
charged with keeping gaming
house, was heard on a demurrer.
Demurrer sustained and parties dis
charged, this being the second time
they had been put on trial for that
one offense. Acknowledgement for
the Crown, Neumann and Hitch
cock q Hitchcock for the defense.
The King VS.. Aloi, attempt at
subornatlon of perjury, continued
to the November term. Neumann
and Hitchcock & Hitchcock for the
defense.
The King VS.. ]. Medros, man

one of assault and battery suhsti-
tuted, and defendant pleaded guilty,
and was fined SO and costs. At

fear of snakes, and never saw one that he
could not handle. But this only amounts
to the statement that he was not aware Of
any fear, and I have heard the boast be-
fore about handling serpents. Once
week he washes his pets and rubs them off
gently with whisk broom, after which
they shine, he says, like a morning star.
What is still more interesting, he feeds
them on raw meat, and has to open their
mouths and put it in, the snake of course
not being disposed to seek food that is
not animated. He has to put this meat
into their throats, so to speak, before the
act of deglutltion begins.
All the information that he gave me
concerning the crotalide was correct
enough. 1 asked him why he did not
extract the fangs, and he said they would
grow in again, which is true, for behind
the developed fangs are the rudiments of
others, sometimes as many as five. l have
seen an expert Indian boy jerk the tooth
out with piece of canvas which the
snake had struck. Mr.. O'Connell insists
that the rattlesnake never strikes unless it
is irritated.
believe this to be true. So fiat head
as that of the crotalid9 leaves them with
out any upper brain whatever. They have
not even the cerebrum of porgie.
1t is idle, therefore, to look for volition
in his scaly system. He furnishes the
best example of the muscular automaton
in the chain of animated nature and would
have delighted Descartes. He is crea-
ture of surface irritation. The whirr of
bird, the sharp crack of bough, the
tramp of heavy foot sends the nervous
current along that spine to the alarum.
But the sleeping beauty might harbor him
in her bosom if she were quiet.
Mr.. O'Connell appears to know this
from experience. Better philosophers
than Mr.. O'Connell have advanced it out
of their inner consciousness. The crota-
lde are subject to rhythm. This is the
explanation of serpent charming and the
explanation of Mr.. O'Connell's success.
the Hindoo uses the rhythm of sound.
The Irishman uses the rhythm of motion.
He is like serpent himself in his motion
and gesture.

Incense for Homes.

The agreeable fashion of burning
pastilles and fragrant herbs in rooms that
are apt to grow "stuffy" in damp weather
is almost substitute for a fire on the
hearth, which purifies and cheers the
whole house Ever since the mania for
Japanese decoration came in there has
been demand for the delicious pastilles,
or ssreeds," which are the condensation
of Eastern fragrance, and their use has
brought about greater love for aromatic
odors of refined and purifying nature.
The subtle sweetness permeating articles
that come from China or Japan will last
for years and affect the atmosphere, not
merely of the room they are in, but of the
entire house There is not Rimmel or
Lubin in Europe that can produce this in
toxicating, and if one may say so, high.
bred perfume from the Orient, try as he
may. A bunch of japanese pastilles,
smoldering one at a time in little in
cense burner, will last several week
while for olfactories disliking any per-
tlme, however delicate, bit of gum
camphor or little stack of pine needles
produces a most refreshing odor while
burning. Pine needles can be gathered
by the bushel and kept all winter to be
thrown on coal fires in city houses or
burned by themselves in one of those lit
tie chafing dishes for which japanese art
is famous. Chicago Herald.

A D0q With a Record.

AS finely proportional Newfound-
land leaped out into the exercise ground
of ten acres, Mr.. Ireland described him as
dog with history. "This," he said,
''is champion Miro, who has won twenty
seven prizes and has never been beaten.
Nobody knows his pedigree, but it is, of
course, of the very best. Mr.. Ben Lewis,
of this city, saw him one day few years
ago, lying in front of butchers shop in
New Orleans, and asked concerning his
career. The butcher was totally unaware
of the rank and value of the dog, and
only knew that Miro had come to New
Orleans on ship from some foreign port
and had deserted the vessel there. In
the few months that he had been in New
Orleans Miro had made great record in
saving the lives of drowning people in the
Mississippi River.-PhiladeEphia Record.

Americas Worst Penmen.

The most celebrated exponent of bad
penmanship in America was Rufus Choate,
the great Boston lawyer, whose signature
has been aptly compared to "a gridiron
struck by lightning" and whose hand
writing was, in many cases, absolutely un-
decipherable, even by the writer himself.
On one occasion Mr.. Choate was having
his house repaired, and made arrange
ments to have a carved mantlepiece put
up, promising to send the model. Failing
to obtain one to suit him, he wrote to his
workman to that effect. The carpenter,
after studying the missive-which looked
as if spider wading in ink had crawled
across the paper-at length concluded
that it must be the desired plan, and
forthwith began fashioning probably the
most original mantlepiece that ever orna-
mented a room. This story is almost
equal to that told of the great Napoleon,
who was such wretched writer that 1t is
said his letters from Germany to Joseph
inc were at first taken for rough maps of
the seat of war.
1t is related of the late Dean Stanley
that short time before his death
he was invited by the editor of one OF the
New York magazines to contribute an
article to its pages on some timely topic.
The paper was promptly written and duly
received, 'luS, to the CONSERVATION of the
editor, no one could be found who was
able to decipher the handwriting. Fin
ally, in despair, the editor was obliged to
return the manuscript to England, to be
rewritten for publication. In fact, the
good Dean, like Choate, did not write,
out made few arbitrary strokes with
pen on paper.
No mention of remarkable penmen
would be complete which did not include
he name of Horace Greely, whose CHI
Biography was once tersely described by
lew compositor in the Tribune office in
the savage remark, literally interspersed

The Sea a Divers Tool Chest,

There is diver at Bangor, Me-, who,
if he had lived a thousand years ago,
would have had wonderful story to tell
of water-nixies and the aid they had
given him. He was under the water ex-
amining an obstruction in front of one of
the Bangor wharves and wanted pick
axe or crowbar very much but thought it
would take too much time to go for them.
Accordingly he resolved to make one
more attempt at what he desired to do
without either. He had not moved five
feet along the river bottom before he
stumbled over pickaxe that some un-
known mortal had at some time los
overheard. Thus equipped he finished
his work without trouble. Lewistoa
