OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AGAIN.

In our issue of September 18th, we
gave some statistics with reference
to our schools, with the names of the
teachers employed. We have an.
alyzed that list, and find some inter
esting results. NThere are in all
thirty-nine teachers In the Honolulu
district. OF these twenty-six have
been educated in our own schools
nine have been EDUCATED in the
United States, and four in Great
Britain OF its colonies. Hooking at
the nationalities of the teachers we
find that thirty-eight were born in
this country, nine in the United
States, and seven in Great
Britain or its dependencies. Of
these seven, three came here very
young and were educated in Homo
lulu. AS to actual nationality, with
out reference to birthplace, there are
fourteen teachers of British nation
atty, ten American, ten half-casts,
and five pure Hawaiians. But of the
British and American, considerable
number were born here, as the above
figures show. AS to sex, there are
eleven males and twenty-eight fe-
males. OF the males, three are
American, four British, one ha]f-caste
md three Hawaiian One of the

The Territorial tax levy of S0i cents on the one hundred dollars valuation, made hy he territorial board of equal izaiion in this city last week, as aganst levy of only 6 cents last year, should not be allowed to 60 wiih- out proper explanation. In the first place, the board last year, by mis- take, omitted two interest funds from the levy, winch had to be made good Then there is an addition of two new funds this year, provided for by the last legislature, one, the territorial university fund and the other for the territorial capital The failure of the clerks in the counties of Apache and Marlcopa to make proper returns to the board of equalization, does not ad- init of a correct statement of the total valuation in the territory, but a safe estimate shows that there has been an increase of from two to three million dollars.

The swcetwatcr Dam CInch.

Justice Field, of the United States Circuit Court has issued an order com polling the San Diego Land and Town Company to pay the judgment of $122,00 recovered by George Neal in the San Diego Superior Court short time ago for land covered by the water behind the Sweetwater dam before the mlddle of September or else remove the dam and allow the river to resume it's course.
 It IS said that an appeal cannot be taken from this decision, and the Land and Town Company, through their representatives, say they will never pay the money. One of the interested parties said vixen shown the tele- grams: There are now about 6,000,- 100000 gallons of water in the reser- yoir. We can open the foodgates, and in two or three weeks time can let out 4,000000000 gallons, which would take all the water off Meals land and leave us 2,000,000,0o0. or enough for all practical purposes, and am of the opinion that this will be done if an attempt is made to compel the Company to pay the sum named in the last verdict" {"
 The land in dispute and affected by the decision consists of over 300 acres, which IS worth for agricultural pur- poses not more than S75 an acre, but on account of recent ruling of the Supreme Court, the jury gave a yer diet for S350 an acre, that being the estimated value for reservoir purposes If the Company adopts the plan spoken oi, it will throw the land in dispute back into it's former condition of comparatively small yalue.- -l3an- ming Cab Herald.

Wsman's Devotion and saerif1ce.

There is no sacrifice impossible to woman lovei We all remember the tender pathos with which Victor Hugo told the story of Fantne, who, in the mighty strength of mother love, de- ned herself everything to provide tor her child Cosstte, from whom she was separated, food and clothing, fire in winter, light at evening, even the bird that cheered her with its song. At length word came that Cosette was in sore need of a flannel shirt. All day Fentine erumpled the letter in her hand, and at nightfal went to bar ber's and had her magnificent hair cut off, and sold it for 10 francs, and smiled thinking, "My child is no lon. ger cold; 1 have dressed her in my hair"
 Later on, tue cruel custodian of Cosette demanded 40 francs, declar- ing the child was III and in need of remedies Undismayed, the poor moth.

Ancient Civilization in America.

ing for Mexican antiquities in the State of Chiapas, opens up a chapter as interesting and fascinating as any rolled off the pen of the late E. G. Squler According to the report in question, brief synopsis only of which IS made pubic, the claim for an earlier advanced civilization in Amer lea is every way confirmed. Among other things we are told that fine, broad-paved road, built by prehistoric inhabitants. has been traced from Tona- la down into Guatemala and thence in a curve up again into Mexico, termina- ting at Palenqne. All along this road are still to be seen the remains of runed cities, and careful estimate of the population of these places is about thirty millions. Ca that part of the road near Palenque the ruins are of great magnitude. Houses four and often five stories high have been found in the depth of the forest. Many of these houses are pyramidal Tn form, and so covered are some of them with vegetable mold that large trees are growing from the roofs. In some oi the houses great employment has been made of stone beams of tremendous weight, and the architecture indicates q high degree of scientific attainments. In some houses visited, bronze lamps have been discovered, and the interior and exterior mural decorations of the more important ho,ises consist of pam ellings filled with elaborately-caryed figures almost lite,size, two types of men aud women being plainly repre-. scnted, some plainly Egyptian and others genuine Africans. In front Of one of the houses lae explorers found fourteen sculptures of gods with folded arms, The exploration was one of ex- treme difficulty, owing 10 the density oi the forest and the unwilhngness of the Indians 10 enter the ancient eds fees, they averring that the buildings were inhabited by spirits. Another discovery was that an enormous paved road extends from Falenque across Yueatan to the island of Cozumel. and is continued on the island. Palenquc explorers assert that they have dis covered in the editces before men tioned examples of perfect arch. One explorer is scientifically trained man from India, and by his account tbe region from Cinapas to 1ucatan must have been the seat of a densely popu- lous nation. The publication in full of tbs report will be awaited with deep interest. America has not been explored 10 the extent that could have teen desired. and yet the names of Lewis and Clark, squier, Vaien,ini, Roqua. Baldwin. Jackson, Short, Bart. lett. Morton, and others, are well known in this department of archao- logical research. Whether or not the North American continent is the older sociologically as we'll as geologically, as has teen claimed. it is certain a high civilization has gone down before the resistless march oi tlue The fit test in this InstaBce--and in many others-has certainly not survived It will be good work accomplished when the explorer shall open up to us ruins which still elude tue eye of map, and they shall be permitted to tell their Had of times long past and a clvilization which may not suffer from comparison with those of the Nile Valley or the Euphrate.

The Territorial Board of Equaliza- iion--that IS, one of them, the Holaey Board, winch met in Tucson last week

One of the most singular of all the big bettors IS Haggin, the California millionaire. Half Turk, half Ken. tuckian, taciturn, vindictive, desnotic, he has no companions and no friends. A dozen stories are told of his early life; how he was taken captive in the Mediterranean sea, how he was raised by an old Turk, who adopted him l; how the old Turk made Musse!lnan of hlm and left him millions, and how finally, when his son was born, he named him Ben All, in honor of his benefactor.

In great works of civil engineering. especially for mu- nicipal convenience, the English are ahead of us-not from superior ability as engineers. for we can build just as fine works as they can, but there the civic authorities are more progressive and far.sighted than here; they have more money, possibly, CT they are more willing to tax the public for im- provenents for the public benefit; bu; they do seem to give more employment to the civil engineers than We do.'
