Dr. LannelOngue. an

Dr. LannelOngue. an eminent specialist in the Children's Hospi- tai, Paris, has just succeeded in the effort to give intelligence to a poor
 little idiot. The child, little girl four years old, had q deformed head only about one-third the size of an ordinary little one of her age. She never smiled, never took notice of anything, and she could neither walk nor stand. The doctor be- came convinced that the condition of the little creature was due to the abnormal narrowness of the head, which hindered the natural growth of the brain. About the middle of May last he made a long and morrow incision in the center of the skull and cut portion out of the left side of it without injuring the "dura mater" The result of this operation was something astound- ing. In less than month the child began to walk. Now she smiles, interests herself in everything around her, and plays with a doll. A tolerable bright little child has taken place of the eidiot.-Scientifc American.

Some weeks ago the Citizen had occasion to announce its belief that the ZacatecaS Lottery was a fraud and a swindle. Since then we have learned that our opinion was very properly gauged. From Mexican papers it appears that this lottery was an organized thievery, practic- ing its manipulations entirely away from home. If any of the brethern of Arizona press, are wiser in ex- perience and poorer in space for its rascalIy performances, it would be well to draw a valuable lesson therefrom and charge all unknown itinerants in advance. Propositions to run advertisements and send bill, generally come from dead beats. Arizona Citizen.

 It is not necessary to agree with Count Tolstoi in his caustic and contemptuous criticisms, which style charity as usury pure and sim pie j; that there is nothing but selfish ness by doing good in hope of a future reward that it is but a con- mercial bargain with God to receive a rouble's worth of future happiness in return for giving poorer broth CT kopeck's worth of bread in this life. The man who does not believe in God or the future state may at least, be discharged from this accusation. We agree with Count Tolstoi, whose book has been denied the mails by bigoted Christian millionaire-who holds but does not fill a Cabinet position , in the administration of our pecu- liar President-that time is wasted | in the swinging of censors and chanting of senselcss masses by the melodramatic, ignorant priest, whom he compares with a footpad who knocks down and rifles his victims pockets with a more in- gonious and less violent process, but eats food which he never pro- duced and consequently does not honestly acquire. We agree with Tolstoi that it is the man who raises potatoes who has the right to eat them, and if he raises more than he need, it is generous at his death to leave them to those who do need them. It is not necessary 10 dccrY charitable acts because they are enjoined by the sacred nor because they find ad- 1ocates in good, sincere, and honest Christian men and women. San Francisco Argonaut.

Guadalupe, his two sons, Bat dish, Nat-is-in and another Indian
 Bak-el-cle, are held without bond
 to await the action of the grand jury upon the charge of murdering
 Ed Baker. They did not avail
 themselves of the opportunity ot-
 fered to make a statement, which the Justice explained the law per mitted. Guadalupe, the elder of the accused, previous to his arraign- ment, was most profuse in his yer. sion of the affair, but unfortunate ly for himself his various talks" were, in many particulars, contra dictorY. He, however, manifested a desire to culpate Bak-el-cle who was not of his kith or kin, but of his band, and throughout stoutly maintained his belief that one per- son, alone, was guilty of the crime. He based his opinion because the scouts told him so." The fact that three persons, and probably a fourth had a hand in the murder, is beyond controversy. That there were three, signs to the discerning eye attest, and as easily understood as the let ters of the alphabet.-Silver Belt.

The editor of an exchange has discovered that this is a sort of a topsy-turvy world. No one seems to be satisfied. One man is strug- gling for justice and another is fly ing from it. One man is saving up to build a house, another is trying to sell his dwelling for less than cost, to get rid of it. One man is spending all the money he can make in taking a girl to the theater and sending her flowers, in hopes even- tuallY, to make her his wife, while his neighbor is spending all the gold he has to get divorce. One man escapes all the diseases flesh is heir to and gets killed on the rail- road, another goes through half a dozen without a scratch and dies of whooping cough.

Christmas In KOhala.

At 10 o'clock on Christmas Day
the Chinese mission school met In
the Chinese church in Kohala to
hold their celebration. A good con-
gregation, composed of Chinese.
Americans and few Portuguese,
was present. The exercises consisted
of recitations of memorized portions
of Holy Scripture, catechism, dia-
loeues and singing Gospel hymns.
These were in the Chinese and Eng
lish languages-about in equal por-
tons. The scholars went through
their several parts correctly. There
was no hesitation. They showed
good drilling and thorough prepara-
ton. There was Christmas tree
extensively decorated. Presents
were distributed to the children,
which pleased them very much. AT
such times all children act very much
alike. The whole affair was very
pleasant, and reflects credit on the
teachers. The school is doing good
work. Miss Mary Ostrom, living
alone in an almost out of the way
place, gives a good lesson on conse'

Years day over the Oahu railway.
Tie time leaving and arriving is
stated elsewhere. Instead of going
over the regular tracks the trains
will run through the cane fields of

of the excursion. Not only will the
cane fields present a pleasing APP

KING KALAKAUA'S MISSION.

Sugar Planters of the Islands Said to
be Anxious to Get the Benefit of the
Bounty CIause Of the American
Tariff Bill.
SAN Francisco, Dec. T. 1t IS
learned here from sugar planters
on the Hawaiian Islands that the
real object of King Kalakauas
visit to this country is not recrea-
ton, but annexation Of the islands
to the United States. They say he
comes authorized to make a propo-
stion for annexation to the State |
Department, and that this will be
done in fortnight.
The main inducement for annex
alton is that under the operation OF
the Mckinley bill, which autho-
rizes the payment of bounties for
sugar of home production of 2 cents
a pound, Hawaiian planters would
receive about S5,000,00O a year
more for their suger crop if they
became citizens of the United
States. The quantity of sugar i'm
ported into the United States from
Hawaii IN 1889 was pa, 324 ,6o3
pounds, and, as the product is IN.
] creasing steadily at the rate OF
about 20,000,000 pounds year, 1t

we'll within the mark.
g 1t is believed that the Admins

New York Herald of December 9th ::
TO MAKE A RECIPROCITY TREATY

TO MAKE A RECIPROCITY TREATY.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1S89.-The State
Department officials do not expect the
King of Hawaii to come to Washington
from San Francisco, and have no desire
that he should, owing to the annoying
rumors of annexation projects that would
attend his presence here and trouble our
relations with European powers having
interests in the Pacific. The Kings
own view is understood to coincide with
that of Mr.. Blaine. He has been treated
with courtesy and distinction In bepg
conveyed from his capital to the shores
of the United States in q fine war ship,
and is in no danger OF deemlng himself
neglected. 1t would not be prudent Tor
him on the score of health 10 remove lar
from the Pacific seaboard at this season
of the year, and this alone would be an
obstacle to his crossing the continent.
It is not denied by State Department
officials that King Kalakaua is here for
the purpose OF undoing the mischief that
the Mckinley bill has worked TO Ha.
waiian commercial interests. He will
take back to his people the assurances OF
the Government of the United States
that no intentional injury or injustice
has or will be done to Hawaiian trade
If the Hawaiian Minister at Washing
ton, who is credited with unusual ability
and readiness, can draught an acceptable
reciprocity treaty, Mr.. Blaine WILL slgr
one with him, and both will exert them
selves to secure the necessary congress
sional action. The Minister has gone Il
San Francisco to concert proposals VIII
the King, and a reassuring bill may b.
introduced to the House OF Representa-
tiyes before the King returns to Homo
lulu. MIR. Blaine is disposed to dea
generously with Hawaii to preserve tn
influence of the United States and t
check European designs upon the gen
islands of the Pacific.
We are credibly informed tina
MIR. Carter was told by MIR. Blaln
that the President told him to say
that anything which would satlsf
Hawaii, and that Mr.. Carter though
could pass Congress, would be RI
commended. Further, that Nj
Blaine, no doubt, authorized TIN
published statement, first, TO sho
that annexation talk was annoylp
to the United States; next, to sho
that there was no discourtesy IN M
having the King go to Washington
and, third, to show that it would NJ
be MIR. Blaine's fault If our treat
relations were not satisfactorily a
ranged.

No Menace From China.
The Forum.


The Chinese, like the French. are too
much attached to their own country to
seek to establish themselves in colonies
abroad. If the aim of Chinese emigrants
were to make home in foreign lands they
would contrive to take their women with
them. Their only idea of home life is con-
nected with the land of their fathers.
Ihither they intend TO return when they
acquire the means of living. and thither
their bones are always carried when they
die beyond the seas. This popularity
II taken alone, is enough to avert
from any part of our Western world
the danger of being swamped by an Influx
OF Chinese settlers. The nrst Chinese ar
rived at San Francisco shortly after the
discovery of gold in 1S49 California pio-
neers tell how they were Toasted at public
banquet. and how the mayor, in formal
address, bid them tell their country to fol-
low. Since that date the population of
our country has grown from 24,OO0,OO0 to
65,OO0,O coo; and while Europe has given us
many millions, China has contributed the
paltry contingent of 60,OO0-scarcely
enough to people third-class city. In
view of all these facts, where is the ground
of alarm? What call is there for prohib-
tory legislation that tramples on the faith
of treaties and wounds the dignity of a
friendly power?
