Narrow Escape.

DR.. w. T. Cheatham had narrow
escape from drowning last Friday after
noon. He attempted to cross Flat
creek, near WILLIAMSBURG, when the
stream was much swollen, and the eff
fort came near costing him valuable
horse if not his own life. Getting in
beyond the horses depth, the animal
was unable to combat the waters with
the vehicle attached and as he could
neither retrace his steps nor reach the
opposite side matters assumed desper-
f.; ate and dangerous aspect in a very
J.; short time. With his usual self-pos-
session the Doctor drew his knife and
proceeded to cut the horse loose. This

Handsomely Done.

just before Rey. J. D. Arnold left
Henderson, the PASTOR in charge and
the congregation of the coiored Metho-
dist church, presented him with nice
hat as slight testimonial of their high
regard for him and appreciation of his
work here and the courtesies he has
shown them especially. This was a
clever act OF their part and we are
sure Mr.. Arnold appreciates the gift
very highly-far above its intrinsic
value. The following correspondence
explains itself:

A"Fitting'' Testimonial.

The congregation Of the Methodist
Episcopal church by way Of further
showing their appreciation of the great
service done by Rev. VIM. B. North,
the very able and talented young min
lister who recently conducted a success
full revival meeting at that church,
ordered fine suit of cloths to be made
for him by our excellent young mer-
chant tailor, Mr.. w. E. Smith. The
work has been done and it is useless
to add that it was done in frst-class
manner. That goes without saying
when Mr.. Smith turns out a job. In
acknowledging the receipt Of the goods
Mr.. North writes that the clothes fit
him perfectly-indeed he says he looks
as if he had been melted and poured in
them. They are the very quintescence
of perfection in every respect, he says,
adding that he is pleased all over. A
nice hat went along in the box with
the suit of clothes also, and if Mr..
North experienced as much pleasure in
accepting the gift as his friends did in
! presenting it, there was mutual pleas
ure and qualification all round.

WATER WAIVED.

EDITOR BULLETIN IL would like
through the columns of your paper
to call the attention of t1e Minister
of Interior and the proper author
ties, to the neglect to which the re-
sidents of the plains are subjected
in the matter of water supply.
We being cut off from the Mutt
anu system have water about two
hours in twenty-four and very little
then, and one resident has inform-
ed me that he has not had water on
his place for over twenty-tOur, while
another of my neighbors would not
have had any for three days but for
the assistance of still another neigh
Dor who attached his hose to supply
him. Now | consider this crying
shame, and in view OF the fact that
we pay our rates and in advance
too, that we are certainly entitled to
ths utmost endeavors of the autho-
rites.
Admitting the drought, danger of
fire, ETC., the standing excuses for
cutting us off the Nuuanu system
still considering the blare of trum-
pets when the pumping the other
night was successful, would it not
be advisable to persevere in we'll
doing, talk ana ;!.rogy are all right,
but let us have a"iion before the in
jury is irrepas able. TAXPAYER.

WHALING MEMS QUERIES.

EDITOR BULLETIN:-As editors are
said to be posted on all public, and
nearly all private matters, be so
kind as TO enlighten us on the fol-
lowing queries:
lst. When sick or disabled men
are discharged from American whal-
ing vessels at this port, are captains
compelled to leave any amount of
money in the hands of the Consul,
and, if so, how much?
I'd. If money be so left, what
portion of it, if any, is handed over
to the discharged seamen on their
leaving here for the nearest Ameri-
can port, or on signing clear of the
Consulate, and taking up their resi-
dence in Hawaii?
Sd. Are"Consular men" compelled
under ordinary circumstances to
work their passage to an American
port?
4th. Can the Consul send aspen-
niless or destitute seamen to, say, San
Francisco. to land there as a pauper
so to speak!

THE
A SLlGHTED STREET.

Several persons residing on or
near Beretahia street, to the east of
Punchbowl street, have, ut different
times, complained that that street
has been sighted in the expenditure
of monies voted for road work AL
most nothing has been done in the
way of making or repairing that Sec
tion of Beretania street during the
past eight or ten years. Why so?
Certainly not because ii is or has
been in 50 good condition as 10 be
beyond need Portions of it are
and have been badly ont of repair.
Nor can it he because that thorough
fare Is but little used, for it. is one
of the most travelled roadways in
Honolulu. Really, it is high time
that Il little of the public funds
found its way there.

evenly upon the shoulders of both
the men and women, as little said
on the subject the better. When
men forget their duties as husbands,
they are no more to he blamed than
the women who wilfully overstep the
bounds of their proper station. A
little disappointment on the part of
several women can hardly be q fair
test to condemn the whole system
by.
To me marriage has been any
thing but u failure. Three times
have ! tried it and l think with fat
tering success. Now my first left a
life insurance sufficiently large to
make my heart rejoice, in spite my
grief. My seconds estate placed
me i'll circumstances easy enough
to render widowhood comfortable,
whilst that Of my third placed me so
far above want, that | am really
considered interesting. The fourth
venture will he poor man, whose
only support is his salary. Now |
can place him in such a position
to gain influence and importance.
Now really do not consider mar
riage a failure, and | am muchly
married woman. Marriage is fail
ure to the thoughtless and giddy,
who for the sake of entering the
bonds grab the first offer that comes
along,or to those who by their own
conduct make it so. To pure, SEN
sible women marriage is blessing
doubly blessed. A WOMAN.

ANOTHER W0MAN'S VIEWS ON
MARRIAGE,

EDITOR BULLETIN:-Asy your cor
respondent of Tuesday evening, l
think as very much married woman
also, 1 have as much right as she to in
iict my views upon the public.
How she became a much-married
woman l don't know, but feel GER
tain that my right to the title is be-
yond dispute. In my short life it
has been my duty to stand at the
bedside OF three departing husbands
and place them peacefully sleeping
beneath the sod. If God grants
me life i intend again officiating as
bride next May. Whetherit will be
my mournful duty to soothe fourth
into eternity, remains to be seen.
Now, do not agree with your cor
respondent that marriage is fail
ure; but on tue contrary, i look
upon il as one of the most blessed
of all the conditions we are allowed
to assume. / make this statement
from experience. To woman who
is true woman, and marries the
man of her choice, the marital state
is one of unalloyed happiness. What
is more in keeping with the idea of
human bliss than the CHEEKY fireside,
hallowed by mutual lover don't
think your correspondent has any
personal knowledge of such a scene.
OF course there are some to whom
the marriage state has not been con-
duciye of happiness, but as the
weight of the responsibility lies

THE SPARROW NUISANCE.

EDITOR BULLETIN 1T is certain
ly desirable to have the scenery of
any country enlivened by the pres
ence of birds-especially those hav-
ing rich plumage or gifted with the
power of song. Honolulu and its
environs have, however, been un-
fortunate in the choice of selection ;
as mynahs and sp'rrows are the
most destructive of the feathered
race, without any counterbalancing
good quality. The sparrows are
now becoming so numerous that it
is difficult to preserve young plants
from their ravages and seed-beds,
without continued watching, are
often destroyed by those strong-bill-
ed birds.
If 1t is intended that Oahu shall
ever become horticultural island,
the time has arrived for the whole
sale destruction of those seed-eating
and bud-nipping chirp,rs. The
mynahs have been useful in the des-
truction' of caterpillars and other
harmful insects; but no such good
Office has been performed by the
sparrow, which confines its appetite
to vegetation. In North America
and other countries where sparrows
usually called English sparrows
have been introduced, the people
have suffered so severely that ordi-
nances in the various towns have
been passed for the extinction of
these birds, and sooner or later a
similar feeling must follow on these
islands. These birds are multiply
ing fast, and should il be concluded
to destroy them, there would be a
great saving by beginning the work
of destruction now, There would
be no occasion TO use fire arms, ae
traps and poisoned seeds are much
more effective; but, if the evil be
allowed TO spread and increase, the
task will be less easy and more ex-
pensive. In many countries the
skylarks, linntts, finches, and other
song birds OF Europe have been in
troduced with Hlqch addition to the
pleasures OF rural life; but sparrows
are curse wherever found, and are
only equalled by wild-rabbits and
lecasts. Those mynahs and spar
rows haze already killed off or made
scarce the native birds; and before
bkylarks and linnets could have a
SHOW here, lheir destructive prede-
cessors must be made TO go the way
of all flesh. CALATHUMPIA.

AS an illustration, a sick whaling

pended S767 in addition to the S15.
