A TEMPERANCE STORY.
Freight Handlers Tap Barrel Of Whisky
and Then Wish They Hadn't.

and Then Wish They Hadn't.
An exceedingly practical temperance
lecture was preached to the freight
handlers at one Of the stations Of the
Pennsylvania railroad short time ago,
says the New York Tribune. The re-
suit Is that each man now wears blue
ribbon and all mysterious-looking casks
and barrels which are put of at that
station and for which there are no
known owners are left severely alone.
A few months ago there came to this
place by express big barrel unaccom-
panied by any thing and having no
mark by which the owner or its des-
tination could be learned. There was
an odor OF whisky about 1t, and 1t looked
suspiciously like whisky barrel. A
tracer was sent over the road, bu. moth
ing could be learned az TO where 1t
came from, to whom 1t was going or by
whom 1t was owned. II stood on the
platform for few days until 1t became
q nuisance. The freight-handlers eyed
1t rather longingly, but could not get at
IL while IL was In that conspicuous place.
By the order OF the station agent the
, barrel was taken to the loft OF the store
room TO await for a possible owner who
might turn up some time in the future.
II had been there for two or three
months when one OF the express CON-
panies' men went TO the station agent
and told him he was looking for bar
rel Of alcohol with two skeletons inside
oft.
The station agent remembered the
mysterious barrel and took tho searcher
y the loft He Immediately identified
tbe barrel as the one which he was look
Leg for. A kick from his foot produced
Shollow sound, followed by the rattling
6 some dry objects inside. A closer ex-
araination showed that numerous gim-
lot holes had been made in the head,
and that the holes had been plugged up
With matches. i.
The station agent sent for the freight
handlers TO have them come TO the loft
and help take the barrel down.
"It's empty" fsltered one Of the men.
"Yes, know; but want 10 see II
there 10 any thing inside Of 1t" said the
express agent, at the same time break
ing In the head Of tho barrel with an
axe. Out tumbled the two skeletons, TO
the horror and dismay Of the freight
handlers. They were dumfounded and
Hed from the loft instantly. Not one OF
the men turned up for work for three
days. All sent around word in the morn.
Ing that they were sick. When they
Hld come back each wore blue ribbon,
and they haven't since been known 10
cake drink Of whisky. Unclaimed
freight is absolutely safe at the station

buyers occasionally, but you
"can't fool all the people all the
time" no7..,
Best goods at fair pri-
ces, straight bargains,

devices never corrupt
either buyer or seller.
We stand by the proposition
that efforts spent in obtaining the
best, healthiest and most desira-
BILE goods, such as will recommend
themselves and sell on their own
merits, is much more commenda-
BILE than either the "now you see

News by the Kinau.

The steamship Kinau arrived from
Maui and Hawaii Wednesday morning
with twenty-five cabin and one hundred
and twenty-one deck passengers. Purser
George G. Beckley reports rough weather
the entire trip, and on this account the
steamer did not return with large
amount of freight. The schooner Dora
Bluhm arrived at Kahului Monday morn
ing and was to leave there yesterday with
a load of sugar for San Francisco, rather
quick dispatch. The Lurline and Court
ney Ford had both left Hilo for the Coast
with full loads of sugar. The wrecked
barkentine Ella was still in the same
position at Mahukona. Howard Hitch
cock has made a sketch of her.

Now. as to their thrift. In the
statistics of the savings banks are net
included the Government pawn
shops, the agricultural loan.banks,
or the various benevolent lnstltu-
tions. The thrift of Southern Italy,
as shown by the savings banks, by
no means compares with that OF
Northern Italy; nor do the country
districts approach in that respect
| the large towns.
But the poverty of the peasantry
by no means argues a want OF
thrift; for we find that those emf
grants who. have returned with
little money are then able to dis
play those economic qualities which
distinguish Italians. For they are
frugal, temperate and industrious
race. As the Italians are VIGOROUSLY
Woodworking and industrious, they
would prove extremely desirable set
tiers and, in the second generation,
good citizens, for the habit of thrift
is one to be encouraged rather than
discouraged in America; and fears
lest they light introduce lower
style of living to the detriment of
the country seem, at least to the
writer, unfounded
In countries like the Argentine
and Uruguay, where lowing partly
to their numbers and concentratiOn)
they do not have so many difficulties
of language to contend with, the
Italians have proved a very desir-
able class of settlers, and in the
province of Rosario, for instance,
they are predominant. In other
parts of the Argentine they have
much of the trade in their hands
and control most of the river navi
cation.
As to the morality of the Italians
the reports of our consuls give very
favorable account. The percentage
of illegitimate is very small; but
Italy is country in which marriages
are made very early. l have travelled
in almost every part of Italy at all
times of day and night, and have
never been in any way molested
Here, where I live, theft is rare
burglary unknown; so that we Rave
slept for weeks with unlocked and
even open, doors, and never think Of
locking them during the day. A
!. murder has not been known here fol
ffty'years, until recently in quar-
rel between workmen from distant
provinces. Legitimate children are
very rare; crimes produced by lust
are almost unknown. Taking every
. thing together it would seem that
the Italians, in spite of poverty and
illiteracy, are-if they remain in the
United States-a desirable element
to fuse with our motley population
They bring to us the logical quail
ties Of the Latin race, and they show
in the long run the effect of an ex
perience which no other people il
Europe has had-of over two thous-
and years of civilization"

The Devil Cast Out by Science.


Conscientious men still linger on
who find comfort in holding fast
to some shred of the old, belief in
dlabolical possession. The sturdy de-
claration in the last century by John
Wesley, that giving up witchcraft
is giving up the Bible" is echoed
feebly in the latter half of this CEN
fury by the eminent Catholic ecclesi-
astic In France who declares that Ito
deny possession by devils is to CHARGE
Jesus and his apostles with imposture'n
and asks, "How can the testimony of
apostles, fathers of the church. and
saints who saw the possessed and so
declared, be denied9" And a still
fainter echo fingers in Protestant Eng
land. But, despite this conscientious
opposition, science has in these latter
days steadily wrought hand in hand
with Christian charity in this field, to
evolve a better future for humanity.
The thoughtful physician and the de-
voted clergyman are now constantly
seen working together; and it is not
too much to expect that Satan, having
been cast out Of the insane asylums,
will ere long disappear from monas-
teries and camp meeting, even in the
most unenlghtened region Of Christ

THURSDAY,
ABOUT ALTERATION.

Under the title, ADVERTISER Alb
erration," the Bulletin gives speci-
men of it's own capacity in the way
of wandering, and getting lost which
throws entirely into the shade any of
our performances in the same style.
The only alteration of which the
ADVERTISER stands convicted is one,
from the views of the Bulletin, a d.
vergence, we submit rather to our
credit than otherwise. The Bulletin
seems to think, or rather imagine,
that criticism on the increase in
the Wool tariff is inconsistent with a
belief in the Reciprocity treaty. It
supposes apparently that if one does
not believe in raising a duty he must
believe in lowering it; if he does not
want to increase the cost of raw wool
to the manufacturer he must believe
in free sugar, etc. How the Bulletin
arrives at these extraordinary con-
illusions, it does not say. We may
safely infer that it happens by ways
that are dark and tricks that are
vain, much too vain to convince the
reasonable, though perhaps not to
deceive the gullible.
The merits of the Treaty question
are entirely distinct from those of
the question whether the duty on
wool ought to be raised or not. There
is no propriety in any attempts to
import the latter into the discussion
of the former. If purely theoreti-
cal expression of opinion on the wool
tariff, is going to affect the question
of our treaty relations, then there
must be very strange persons ruling
at Washington. The solicitude of
the Bulletin over our imagined in
consistency is quite wasted. It would
do we'll to look to its own. The kali
eidoscope dance of opinions through
it's editorial columns is something
entirely unique, paralleled, if it has
any parallel at all, only by Wal
purgis Witch night, or by Pande-
monium itself.
