$685. COO, 900, on an assessed value of
sf7b, 500, 900, which. at s per cent.
interest reaches the nice little sum CT

The Sheep Finds no Friends.
Chatham RAenrd

Although this is called a Farmers
Legislature, a bill to protect sheep
by taxing dogs, was killed in a very
summary manner, hardly a word
being said in its favor. Would il
not be well for all sub-alliances in
the State to express their views on
this question? Have the poor sheer
no friends, who will protect them
from the worthless ours?

Of the public; they have paved more
streets than any other Board; they
have looked closely after the sani-
tary condition Of the town &c.
Durham has never had a better
board. They are faithful to the
to the trust imposed upon them.
The Record of the town officials
shows that there were fewer deaths
in Durham during the month Of
December than any other city the
size Of it in the State, the "Plant" to
the contrary notwithstanding. In
fact some places according to pop
ulation, show more than double the
percentage Of deaths. #

A SUGGESTION.

EDITOR BULLETN:-While Tram
way Car Company has started a
popular and well patronized enter
prise in this city, would it not be a
timely move to conform to the regu-
lations of other countries where
similar means of transportation pre-
vail, to have their cars provided with
printed notices stating the number
of persons TO he seated and to he
allowed for standing room in each
car? So far nothing has been done
here in this direction and we find
cars oyercrowded and animals over
worked, with apparently no redress
under existing laws, unless the
authorities have so far overlooked
the enforcement of legal restric-
tions.

OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE.

EDIToR BULLETIN Il am neither
a crank nor growler, but really l
am forced from a sheer sense of de-
cency, to feel myself obliged to call
your attention to the now readily
growing habit of the use of offensive
and profane language on the part of
the employees of the Tramway's
cars. On last Saturday, at the
races, it was positively revolving.
If this thing is allowed to go on, it
will become hazardous to take a
lady on the cars. Although an i'm
provement may be blessing-yet
even that blessing can be dispensed
with, when its enjoyment entails
such risks as the conduct of these
employees exposed the patrons to
Saturday. l.. @.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL LIMITATION
OF SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS.

EDITOR BULLETIN: - If Parlia-
ment set aside sum of money to
be expended for certain building
or wharf or bridge, it is supposed
that the grant is made upon careful
and judicious estimates, made by
some expert, or at least by the
Superintendent of Public Works, or
some responsible agent. The Court
says very justly, "the appropriation
would not have been made, if the
Legislature had known that the
grant asked for would be but the
beginning of the expense, the work
cannot be carried out by taking the
deficit from other grants"

respondent" at that provincial but

ter of Interior discovered? Is hell

instructive to see how little the ap.

PORTUGUESE AND WASHINGTON
TERRITORY.

EDITOR BULLETN:--Will you
kindly allow me space in your paper
to reply to the falsehoods published
in the Portuguese papers of Homo
lulu, regarding Washington Terri
tory, and tending to mislead the
Portuguese in these Islands, as to
the climate and resources of that
portion of the United States.
They say that the ground in
Washington Territory for Z or 8
months in the year is covered with
snow, leaving only 4 or 5 months in
which to raise a crop, and which
can only be done once year, ad-
mitting, that there Is plenty of
land there and to be had very cheap,
but calling on the Portuguese to re-
member that anything that is cheap
is not good.
Now regarding the climate of
Washington Territory, ! am told by
people who have lived there, that
some years they have hardly any
snow, not as much as they would
like TO have, that the thermometer
is never down to zero, and that it is
one of the healthiest places on the
globe.
Then they go on to say that these
islands is the place for the Portu,
guese, comparing these specs in the
Pacific Ocean to that land of the
free, that stretches from ocean To
ocean, where every one has an equal
chance with his neighbor.

sugar is the only product raised Of

INSTRUCTIONS TO LIGHT.

The electric light is considerably
curtailed in its usefulness, in parts
of the town, by overhanging branches
of trees. This is an obstruction
which cannot be entirely removed
without producing a greater evil
than the lack of light, viz, lack
of shade. But there are certainly
several places where considerable
foliage could be taken away, to the
advantage of the electric light
and not to the disadvantage of
any public benefit whatever. This
importance for the authorities to
give some attention to.

PROTEST..

EDITOR BULLETIN In the name
of the dwellers upon the plains and
at Waikiki, l want to put in a pro-
test against the treatment of horses
and mules practised by the Hawaiian
Tramways Co. We have endured
without public complaint the un-
necessary cruelty practised in break
ing in these mules as seen by us
every day. But when these same
soft animals unaccustomed to draw
ing, are harneSsed to two heavy
trumway cars, and both of these
cars are not only loaded with pas
sengers but overloaded, so that
every foothold is taken and the poor
animals, frightened and often sore
from incessant beating and other
i'll usage, are forced to draw this
load, mere common decency is
forced to protest. The overcrowd-
ing of the cars which makes it i'm
possible much of the time for a lady
to find a seat or even standing
place, may be unavoidable until
more cars can be obtained. But in
this country there is no excuse for
not having a sufficient number of
draught animals, and of men to
drive them. And this wealthy and
well paid corporation ought to be
made to feel that if they have no
regard for the comfort Of their ami
mails there is public sentiment
here which will not endure such
sights as are daily seen on King
street and in the vicinity of

A MYSTERIOUS INCIDENT.

At an early hour this morning a pedes-
trian coming down the bank of the Little
river discovered an object floating down
stream that attracted his attention. 1t
was almost submerged in the water, but
when it came to the Lewis dam he saw
plainly the body of man. He quickly
ran down to the bank and jumping into a
boat he rowed to the center of the stream
and catching the body he towed it to the
bank The body was that of a man in
middle life, tall and noble looking, with
al unmistakable look of refinement. Large
crowds viewed the body, but it remained
unrecognized and no clue could be found
on the body. The only scrap Of paper was
evidently torn from a note book and bore
the sad inscription: 81 came to this sad
