AN AWFUL sLuNDER.
A Counter-Jumper Mistakes q Young
Lady for q Wira Dummy

- SouAIoE.Ouun mistakes q Young
Lady for q Wire Dummy.
A friend told me the following story,
says the Brooklyn Citizen, which dem
onstrates the fact that it always pays
to keep your eyes wide open, no matter
how prompt you are compelled to be in
attending to your business.
1t was rainy morning about two
weeks ago. One of our large dry-goods
establishments had placed on one side
OF its entrance wire dummy with a
rubber cloak thrown over it for the pur-
pose OF catching the eye of some of the
female passers-by who did not possess a
Mcintosh" The young man who had
received orders to place the figure out
side the door was foreigner but a
short time in the country. Pretty soon
1t cleared mp and one of the cash-boys
was told to bring it inside, which he
did. In just about half an hour it
dawned upon the young foreigner that
he had forgotten something, and,
making straight for the door, he
proceeded to carry back the fig
ure whence 1t came. It happened that
young lady of. medium build stood
upon the spot the dummy had occupied
but short time before. She had her
back toward the window and was appar-
emily waiting for a car. The young man
rushed up to her, and throwing his arms
about her waist, lifted her off her feet,
and was about to hustle her into the
store when shrill Shrek rent the air.
The clerk was dumfounded. He blushed,
turned pale, and goodness knows how
many other colors, but was, neyerthe-
less, conscious of the awful mistake he
had made. The young, lady was about
to thrash him with an umbrella which
she carried when one of the floor-walk-
ers appeared upon the scene.. In the
meantime the young man kept begging
the young lady's pardon. But she would
not have 1T, and instead of accepting his
apologies she sought member of the
firm, who, however, was able to settle the
matter amicably. The young man was
not discharged either, for his mistake
was unintentional and perhaps natural
in his hurry.

1.-THE PLUcKY PEccARY.

How Herd of the Animals Carried On a
Hopeless War.
They tell us we do not half appreciate
the pig, that he is really very clever,
says Harper's Young People. We have
made him stupid, they say, by overfeed-
ing and no exercise, that we may eat
him ourselves. In the Western part of
our country some of the pig family are
known as peccaries, and once when
train was coming they went out to meet
it.
The engineer of train one day saw
number of peccaries on the line,
which, like American railroads gener-
ally, is not protected by fences, and
naturally thought theg'would run away.
I'm this, however, was very much
mistaken, for when they saw us they
formed two or three lines, standing
close together across the tracks. There
was nothing to do but run through
them,," so just put on little more
steam and we charged down on this bat
TALON of peccaries. They never budged
an inch and the train cut right through
them, killing large numper or them.
Those that we're unhurt rushed madly
at the cars as they flew past and many
were cut up under the wheels.
Coming back on the return train
next day was very much astonished to
see those that were unhurt of the herd
standing in the same place. AS soon as
they heard US coming they arranged
themselves in battle array end weshad
to cut through them again, killing o
large number. As we came up thew be-
came frantic, rushing at the cow-catcher
and wheels, only to be killed.
Next day they were there again, and
the same tactics were gone through.
This went on, day after day, until only
three were left. These three ranged
themselves as the others had done, and
we bore down upon them. / hated to
kill these plucky little fellows, but
could not help 1t. Two of them were
carried away on the cow-catcher, and
the other made a rush at the cars, am
the last Of the tribe was killed"

decidedly opposed TO the dictates of
moral justice, legal status or no legal
status. The Legislature has to con-
slider whether the work was done,
and whether it was done in good
faith by direction of Minister of
the Crown; and finding that il was
done and so done, the Legislature
must admit that the contractor has
an equitable claim for the amount
of compensation stipulated. If a
Minister commits an illegality in
making contract unauthorized by
law, must the innocent contractor
suffer the penalty? According to the
Finance Committees report. many
thousands of dollars worth of work
has been done on the Volcano road
more than the amount authorised by
law. Will Mr.. Thurston say that
the workmen should receive no pay
therefor:

ANOTHER VIEW.

Mr.. Thurston, in his communca-
lion to the Advertiser, having reach
ed the conclusion in the palace gate
matter, that Mr.. Bowler's claim has
no illegal status" enquiries, "What
is its position?" and proceeds to
answer: 1.-The Legislature should
consider the question precisely as
though no work had been done, and
as though there was now PROPOSE
ton made to them to undertake TO
fOrtify the walls in the manner done
by Mr.. Bowler for the sum of $1,000.
If the Legislature think that this
would be wise, and that the best in
terests of the country require such
work to be done, then let them vote
it and pay the claim. If they con
slider that the limited funds in the
Treasury can be better spent than
in building Notifications, then let
them say so and refuse to vote
money for this purpose. That is
not the view of the BULLETIN, and is

PETITIONS.
EDITOR BULLETIN

EDITOR BuLLETIN:-
The right OF petition for redress
of grievances is accorded TO all
among civilized people, but all petit
tions that may be presented under
the head of griyances, may not be
such petitions as ii would be wise for
the powers to grant. A case in
point:
A plantation manager was petit
toned by some of his Japanese
laborers to allow them to redress IL
grievance they had against luna,
They wanted to kill him. They
claimed it as a right and only wanted
the managers consent. Another
case: Where one of their number
had stolen something and they could
not persuade him to kill himself
which they tried hard to have him
do-they drove him from their camp
and petihoned the superintendent
for permission to allow them to kill
him.
Now we are informed that many
have a grievance to redress against
the Government and that griev-
ant can only be satisfied by a permit
being given them TO murder our
present organized government. They
have got the Kings permission and
are only awaiting the consent of our
Legislature. Then, as soon as time
will permit after consent is gwen,
they will undoubtedly proceed to
destroy our present Government,
and judging from the spirit posses
sed by those into whose hands this
business would likely fall, there will
be nothing left of our Legislature
four months after the permit present
is granted. Whether His Majesty will
be retained as King, or whether the
signing of the permit will be the
signing of his political death war
rant, as the granting of the permit
by the Legislature will surely be the
signing OF their own death warrant,
remains to be seen. 1t would seem
TO be 10th unwise and dangerous for
either of those parties to sign such
a death warrant as the petitioerns
demand, as it may arouse to action
such unlocked for forces as may
totally and forever annihilate the
autonomy of this kingdom, The
King has signiiled bis Royal pleas
are that the legislature should COM
nit suicide, but whether the Legis-
lature will refuse to kill itself as the
Japanese did, or to carry into effect
the Kings royal wish, remains to
be seen.
1t also remains to be seen, if the
Legislature should commit suicide,
whether that would add to the King 5
power as the petitioners hint, or
cause homicide or suicide of His
Majesty's present political rights.

Miss Berry has kept small pri-
vate school in Honolulu for many
years. At present her school is at
No. i3, Emma street, where it has
been for several years past. The
last term was cut short by the sud-
den and serious illness of the
teacher. She has now sufficiently
recovered, however, to resume work,
and her school commenced new
term to-day. Miss Berry's reputa-
ton az successful teacher has long
been established. Many parents of
whose children she has had charge
rise as "a cloud of witnesses" to
testify in her behalf. She not only
advances her pupils surprisingly,
hut invariably succeeds in securing
their confidence and affection. Pa
rents and guardians entrusting chill
dren to Miss Berry may feel assur-
ed that they will be we'll taught and

MONDAY, SEPT. s, 1890.

The Advertiser refers to an Eng
lish historian who has said some
thing to the effect that no one who
is actively engaged in politics will
pretend that he is always able to do
his political opponents justice, and
suggests that "a touch of the same
modesty would have become Mobiles
Muller and Macfarlane, Of the FL
nance Committee, much better than
their Indignation and horror at q
presumed imputation on their i'm
p rtiality." We would take the
liberty to state that little ''touch
Of modesty' of that kind, when
dealing with political opponents, is
seldom to be found in our contem-
porary.
