She Cost Her Weight IN Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady who recently died at American
Flag, in the Santa Catalina mountains,
Arizona, was perhaps the only woman
in the world, who ever cost her husband
her weight in gold. In the early gold
digging days of California she was a
resident of Sonora, Mex, in which
State she was born and grew to woman
hood. When about seventeen years OF
age paternal uncle but few years
her senior returned gold-laden from the
newly-discovered mines and soon fell
desperately in love with his niece. He
sought her hand in marriage and was
accepted, but the church refused on ac-
coant of the near relationship of the
pair to solemnize the marriage. Per-
suasion being in vain, he tried the
power of gold to win the church his
way, and succeeded only by payment o.
her weight. in gold. She at that Tins
weighed HI pounds, and against her in
the scales the glittering- dust was shov'
eled. The husband still had sufficient

exclaimed a great theologian, ceasing
to amuse himself by jumping over
chairs and tables, as he saw solemn,
pedantic friend approaching. "You

fool" said Lord Chancellor Eden, as he
danced in his own drawing-room to

Pat seldom loses his WITS even. when

man, whose garments were in tatters,
was brought before magistrates on
the charge that he was vagrant:

Pat drew from the pocket of his torn

The Voice Of Hawaii.


Mr.. EDlToR-The present anon
oIous condition of the Cabinet has
presented a scene differing from
any that has ever before occurred
under this Government; and yet
this situation was anticipated at
the formation of the Cabinet IN
1887, as among the possibilities
that might happen. 1t has been
demonstrated, however, that an
obnoxious member of it may defy
the efforts made by the majority of
his associates to secure his with
drawal. The only alternative is
for the Legislature to request his
resignation in such way as it may
decide, and if not complied with to
take such action as shall secure his
removal.
With the exception Of the At
torney-General, the present Cab.
met has shown it's fitness for the
public service, and most unques.
tionably satisfies the great majority
of the people, both natives and for
eigners. A more efficient Minister
of the Interior never filled the place
than Mr.. Thurston, nor has any
previous occupant accomplished in
the way of public improvements
during three years, half what be
has done. This is evident on every
island of the group.
Nor has more capable Minister
than Mr.. Damon ever presided over
the finances of the Kingdom, mol
one who has retained in greater
degree the confidence and trust O
all classes, who desire his continu
ance in Office.
There can be no doubt that tht
people are we'll satisfied with tn.
majority of the present Cabinet
and desire their retention, provided
harmony be restored by the ap
pointment of an Acknowledgement
who can work with his associates
If the native section possesses /:
lawyer qualified to be Attorney
General, and whose appointment
would be creditable to the public
by all means let him be named
But let US Lot cast aside men wht
have proven their fitness for posi-
tons for which very few are quail
fed. KA LEO o KA LAHUI.

KOHALA FEMALE SEMINARY.

The Kohala Seminary closed its
first year (the first after an inter-
regnum of seven years. on the 18th
inst. with some very interesting ex-
ercises, in their school room, begin
ming at 1 Pm. with singing and
prayer by Rev. MIR. Tobey.
The room had been tastefully
decorated with variety of flags and
festoons of braided ferns and flowers,
entirely the work of the girls under
the direction of the teachers. The
pupils, numbering twenty-five, and
ranging in ages from 6 to Is, were
neatly attired in white.
The exercises consisted in the
singing of songs, blackboard exer-
cises in arithmetic, and geometrical
drawing, calisthenics, declarations
and dialogues. Specimens of draw
ings of maps, geometrical figures,
decorative. designs and perspective
also adorned the blackboards; and
others of a like nature on paper,
some of them being original desi gns
or sketches from objects, were passed
about the room for inspection. These
all showed remarkable degree of
taste and proficiency in execution.
A murmur of pleasure ran through
the audience at some exceedingly
rapid arithmetical work executed on
the blackboard by some of the older
girls, and all were pleased with the
many evidences of earnest and
thorough work on the part of the
teachers, seconded by the sympa-
thetic interest of the girls them
selves.
The exercises closed with Bible
Rotations, short addresses from
visitors who were invited to
speak, and the singing of the
American and Hawaiian national
hymns. The company then ad.
journed to the dining room to in
spect the specimens of handiwork in
variety of sewing, fancy work and
cookery which were exhibited fol-
sale. These were disposed of Sc
rapidly, particularly those in the
culinary department, that really
there was but little opportunity fol-
seeing what there was. The sales
realized $40.
It speaks we'll for the school, in
fact nothing could say more for il
than the fact that the girls are
happy and love to stay there. But
two or three of them have been in
other schools of like nature.
The majority came from the Eng.
lish Government Schools, and one or
two little ones who knew little or nc
English when they entered, are able
to read and speak very we'll.
All hut three or four are from this
district, and these. exceptions repre-
sent Hamakua and Puma.
The teachers have labored ear
nestly and faithfully, and the i'm
pressions made by this exhibition
were such that an increase of the
school may be looked for the coming
year, which opens September Sth.
instruction is given in washing
ironing, sewing, cooking and all do
mestic work, aside from the othe,
usual school routine.
Extensions and alterations to the
building are already in progress.

THE CABINET.

NC DuilCCiu III oil CuItOlioA VI
June 10th, argues that the Cabinet,
not being able to agree, ought to
step out and give place to Cabinet
which can. If this were the view
of the Legislature, it ought never
to have made the differences IN the
Cabinet the subject of inquiry.
That they have done so is proof
that they did not take this view.
but believed that there was right
and wrong in the matter, which
could be ascertained and should be
ascertained, with a view not to
condemning both parties, as the
Bulletin would have it do, but to
punish the party in the wrong.
There ought to be no differences in
the Cabinet-that is certain. And
the Constitution, as interpreted by
the Supreme Court, provides that
there shall be none by subordinat-
ing the will of the minority to that
of the majority. Some one must be
in the wrong, and it is the business
of the Legislature to ascertain who
it is and to act accordingly. The
Bulletin would have q useful and
patriotic Minister sacrificed be-
cause another officer of the Govern
ment has acted illegally. To de-
prive the country of the services of
the majority of the Cabinet be-
cause the minority has violated the
law. seems very absurd. Yet that
is the logic of the Bulletin article.
The Attorney-General ought to
have resigned long ago, if he found
himself not in harmony with his
colleagues. He did not do so, and
the rest of the Cabinet could not
turn him out. Are they respon-
sible, pray, for his want of delicacy
in refusing to resign, and for his
abuse of his position while remain
ing? The Bulletin seems to think so.
If the Attorney General on the
other hand, has followed as he con-
tends, patriotic course in resist.
ing the rest of the Cabinet, his
conduct ought to be approved, and
not condemned. The Bulletin would
punish him for his very heroism
and sacrifice him to his own viz
tues. On the other hand, if il
should appear that he has acted
illegally and fundamentally the
Legislature ought to fix the seal Of
its condemnation upon him.
The differences in the Cabinet
have not been paraded by them
The Legislature itself has mad G
them the subject of inquiry, and by
SO doing has assumed the response
bility OF sitting the matter to the
bottom, OF furnishing the guilty and
indicating the innocent. This is Q
responsibility which cannot be
evaded, now that it has been vol
UNFAIRLY undertaken. The assump
ton of the Bulletin that the fact.
cannot be ascertained merely be
cause there are contradictory state
ments, is very strange one, which
would produce very strange result

Denials do not always carry equa

that the assertions of Minister
Damon, Austin and Thurston hav,
