GIGANTIC WORMS.
They Are Natives of Australia, and at
 Least Six Feet Long.

They Are Natives of Australia, and at
 Least Six Feet Long.
 The work of earth-Worms in the operations of nature is very impor- tant one. Darwin has shown us that they are constantly occupied in making the earth more mellow by perforating it with their galleries, and that they en- rich it by collecting in these subter- ranean passages earth that has been subjected to change in their intestines, and also leaves, which have fallen to the ground and are dragged into their retreats.
 But if these little beings can accom- plish such wonders it would be inter-. esting to know whether the Megascolidez Australis, an earth-worm of Australia, has like mission. This creature is of the size of an ordinary adder, and at least six feet long. A writer in La Nature says that it is usually to be found on the banks bordering small rivers, though it occasionally seeks the open country, where one may come upon it by pulling up stump or upturning the earth.
 It is not an easy matter to drsg this gigantic worm from the winding galler- ies which form it's retreat. It glides about the sinuous passages with great rapidity, infating it's anterior and pos terior extremities at will, and thus brac- ing itself against the walls, which it renders slimy by a secretion from it's own body.
 Itsmoist substance slips easily through the hands which would retrain it, and when once fastened to the adhesive walls of it's home it can only be removed by breaking its length in two.
 This giant among worms lives con- paratively peaceful life, since it's physic- al features furnish admirable defense against such enemies as it might natu- rally have. Its body exhales strong odor similar to that of creOsote, and it has the power of ejecting, to distance of several inches, jets of milky fluid. Moreover, it's life is entirely subter- ranean one, and thus it is secure from the attacks of carnivorous animals.
 Naturalists, of course, have an inter- est in it's capture, and the aborigines use the oily fluid into which the dead | body of the creature resolves itself as a | remedy for rheumatism, but it is not | very actively sought. When such worms are once dragged from beneath | the surface, however, they lose the | agility which, Anteus-like, they seem | to gain from contact with the earth, ! and lie absolutely passive, making no attempt to move.

The Risk of Greatness.

He who has reached a high plane of performance has increased his peril for every subsequent performance. He will always be measured from that plane. Unless he can strain every effort to the pitch of his former best work, all his subsequent work will be deemed a deterioration. But if this were not so, high accomplishment would not be worth the name. Great is the risk of greatness; yet it is better to
 Choose to walk high with sublimer dread,
 Rather than crawl in safety"

Influence of the Fireside.

What is wanted is not so much out side law, but more law and order in the family. Men are made or marred at the freside. No artificial daddy with a parcel of statutes, formal fiubdub and textbooks can take the place of the natural daddy with his love and com mon sense and big hickory. When a man makes the right kind of laws for his own family and executes them, he need not bother himself about State laws and courts.

It is therefore perfectly clear that this A. D. 1890 is the last year of the ninth decade of the nineteenth century, and not the first year of it's last or tenth decade.
 In 1850 we remembered hearing a very eloquent divine who had entered into the contest on philosophical and historical principles, as he asserted, who was at first so thoroughly con- vinced that 1850 began the second half of the nineteeth century that he de- clared he was just as sure of it as he was that there was a God in Heaven. We were extremely shocked to hear such 8 declaration from the pulpit, and re- marked that the divine did not under stand himself, for in reality he was much more sure of the latter than of the former part of his proposition; and it was only about six months from that time when we had the good fortune to again be present in his church when he publicly acknowledged and confessed his error, deplored the seeming pro- fanity of which he had been guilty, and took back all his theories that the year 1 had begun at the commencement of the second year of the Christian era, and consequently that the twelve months preceding were, and ought to be, marked only with a cipher, as if they did not occur in any year, and admitted that the commencement of the second half of the nineteenth century was still some six months in the future. He ad- vised his congregation never to follow his example of allowing the heat of de- bate so to obscure their vision and warp their judgment as to insist upon the invincibility of any position which they were led to take from a superficial understanding of the subject.

Los Angeles Will Not Let the Diva
Pass Rer Gates.
Today at Days music store the sale of
tickets for the Patti season will begin.
Los Angeles has broken a great many
records in her time. She has more re-
markable features and is better known
the world over than any other city on
the globe of five times her population.
Already PATHS voice has been heard in
concert in Los Angeles, a distinction
never shared by any city in the world of
so few people. But the liberality OF the
Angelei1os said Patti must sing here,
and sing she did. And now she comes
back with the greatest opera COM
pany that has ever made the tour
of America. Her manager. Mr.. Marcus
Mayer, says it will cost $40, 1000 to give
three performances in this city. Here is
one more opportunity for the liberal
lovers of music in this city to break the
record. St. Louis wanted Patti in grand
opera but failed to get the prize. Los
Angeles is not 80 large as ST. Louis by
several times, but she will secure Patti
in opera. The sale of seats today should
be the great event of the season. 1t will
be memory OF lifetime to have
secured one Of the best seats for this
occasion, and doubtless the rush will be
something remarkable.

To-day marks another year since
the recognition of Hawaiian indie
pendence by the Governments of
Great Britain and France. Shortly
after this eventful action by these
great nations, the United States
acquiesced in and confirmed our
independence in an official letter.
Since that time the independ-
ence and autonomy Of the
Government of Hawaii has been
preserved intact. The principle of
independence has permeated deeply
all classes of our citizens to an ex-
tent that each and every political
party takes especial care to insert a
plank in its platform emphasizing
the principle and pledging itself and
its representatives to an unqualified
support thereof. May Hawaiian In
pendence long flourish, nourished by
patriotism at home and justly pro-
tected by the friendly powers abroad.

among the few export increases over
