The Useful Mexican Donkey.

So far as mans work in Mexico is
concerned there is not much to excite
admiration or even to arrest attention
except for quietncss or singularity.
But in the work of the Divine hand
there are many things surprisingly
grand and beautiful. The mountains
lift their submits high above tho
plains and valleys and are bathed in a
pure and mellow atmosphere. l have
gazed upon scenes Of greater grandeur.
but not OF greater beauty than those
which unfold themselves to the eye
from many of tho secluded valleys OF
Northern Mexico. Nor did the pencil Of
Claude ever paint any thing so lovely
as those ''bridals of the earth and
sky" which one secs repeated there
with every rising and setting sun. A
principal and artistic feature OF indus
trial life in Mexico is the donkey. This
patient little animal is seen every
where and turns his hands. so to
speak. to every thing. He is the milk
cart and the water-cart of the Mexican;
he carries ores from the mines; he car
ries wood piled upon his back until
even his ears are almost invisible and
if all the donkeys in Mexico could be
animated by common intelligence
and a common resolution and should
lie down and positively refuse to get
up the effect would be more disastrous
to the country than have been the
earthquakes and revolutions OF the last
five hundred years-Philadelphis

facts, or who find the plain and IN

purposes. Such expressions, If used
freely and repeated persistently,
with sufficient disregard for their fit
ness or applicability, come to be &C,
cepted by many thoughtless people
as really meaning something and be

much easier to call names, especially
if we are not particular about their
fitness, than it is to inquire into
facts, or present a case in such a way
as to appeal to the understanding.

LEPROSY IN INDIA.

A recent resolution Of the Govern
ment Of India refers to the subject
of leprosy in that country, and to
the possibility of the State taking a
more direct part in the prevention
and treatment of the disease. When
the matter first came under the con-
sideration of the Government, the
various local governments and de
partments were called on for Stats
tics. In 1881, when the last census
was taken, there were l3l, 61S lepeTs
in British India, 9S,9S2 being males
and 32,636 being females. OF this
number 53,SS4 were in Bengal,
1882 in the Northwest Provinces
and Dude, over 1900 in Madras,
nearly 10000 in Bombay, and the re
mainder, numbering about $4,000, in
the Punjab. But these figures do
not, the resolution says, represent
accurately the extent of the disease.
1t is believed that the number Of
female Iepers is greatly moderated,
as women, both in the lower and
better classes, conceal the disease.
The average age of attack is shown
by recent Investigations to be 26-lS
years in an8sthetIc cases, 1879
in tubercuIar, POP in mixed, and
20-25 in eruptive cases, so that a
large number of persons liable to
leprosy from hereditary faint die in
childhood. The reports show that
one per cent. of the lepers come IN
der organized relief in charitable in
situations, the great majority prefer
ring to be the objects Of local char
ity, as they dislike the small amount
of restraint to which they are liable
in the institutions maintained for
their treatment. No cure, pursues
the resolution, has yet been discov-
cred by medical science for lepTOsy,
and the Governor General-in-Coupcil
is assured that no measure could eff
fectually stamp out the disease which
stopped short of absolute segrega-
ton Of the sexes, and the contine-
ment for life of all affected by it.
This, of course. Is quite impractical
BILE, and for the present the Govern
ment can DO no more than encourage
the grant of medical and charitable
relief to lepeTs in voluntary hospitals
and leper asylums. In these institu-
tons the necessity Of strictly segre-
eating the sexes should invariably
be kept in view, and it Is desired
that this condition should be ina
posed on every institution for the re-
lief of lepers receiving aid from the
public funds, and that every effort
should be made to induce the sup
porters of the institutions Of the
kind maintained by voluntary con
tributions to adopt a rule of similar
strictness.- Exchange.

MONGOLIAN IMMIGRATION.

Mong Kow, the Chinese agent of
the Canadian Pacific Steamship Line

here in reference to the head tax on
Chinese immigrants, interviewed

represents that Chinese merchants
and others are interested in a scheme
for the immigration of a million
Chinese into the United States,
British America and Australia and
the present tax of $50 a head is an
obstacle. It is feared that when
this large movement of Chinese

The Tram and the College.


Mr.. EDITOR viii you allow me
to say a few words to the patrons
and friends of Oahu College through
your columns ? The Tramway was
completed to Oahu College and the
line opened for travel last week
Wednesday. This provides a long
felt want, as our distance from the
center Of the city has made it an
item Of expense to come to the col
lege in the past. Patrons and friends
have long urged this as justifca-
ton for not visiting the school
oftener. and it has certainly been
valid reason.
But the cheap and comfortable
mode of travel now open to all, will,
| hope, do away with this difficulty
and we shall expect to see parents
and friends in our classrOOms as
daily experience. The students
need your presence there, and our
teachers will always welcome you to
their respective classes. The time
table of the Tramways Company as
published daily in our papers will
enable any one to plan the hour of
coming, and we shall always extend
the hospitality of our boarding de-
partment to our visitors. The plans
Of the Tramways Company as set
forth in this evenings Bulletin by
| Manager Gribble tells us of a still
better service in the near future,
when Oahu College will be brought

ton with every part of our city
Our line will eventually belong to
the Beretania street system, but
we have been temporarily connected
with the King street line, and l de

tesy and attention of Mr.. Gribble il
