The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1890-02-18

Curiosity is likely to prove the
hvellest sentiment in the commun-
ity for the ensuing three or four
months. The result of the election
while a disappointment to both
parties has probably allayed the ex-
treme fears of a good many solici-
tous adherents of the Reform party,
and left curiosity il its place. We
shall now have an opportunity to
learn which end Of the National Re
form party is going to wag the
other.

1t is wise to be sober in political
prediction. The Bulletin is very
sure that "the boot is on the other
leg" The ADVERTISER has contented
itself with expressing the belief that
it looks as though the Reform party
would have a small majority. We
may be mistaken, but if we are we
shall not have any crow to eat.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1890-02-18

The Bulletin thinks 1t improper for
a Cabinet Minister to make public
speeches, because he is not candi-
date for election. This adds one
more to the list of literary curiosi
ties in which the Bulletin is so rich.

A Lilliputian Railroad.

A wonderful railroad is the one
which connects the towns of Bedford
and Bellevue, Mass, says the Albany
argus. 1t is niue miles in length, and
is probably as unique as any on the
globe. The distanc, is not so astonish-
ing, except when the gauge Of ten
inches is considered.
In the short distance trayersed by
the pigmy it crosses eleven streams
with bridges from five to thirty-fve
feet in height. The rails weigh but
twenty pounds to the yard, about the
size of those used in the mines of
Missouri and Illinois The cars and
engines are constructed so as to be
very near the ground, insTing greater
safety. The cars are provided with
single seats on each side of the aisle.
The car itself weighs but four tons,
the weight of an ordinary car being
twenty to tweuty-six tons. The engine
without the tender weighs seven tons,
and runs with two passenger or freight
cars at the rate of twenty miles an
hour There is a smaller railroad than
this 10 the United States-the one in
Bucks county Pennsylyania-but it
is only kept as an expensive toy by a
rich farmer, who has made fortune
out of oil.

For Perturbed Literary Spirits.

The fact is, whether authors be-
lieye it or not, the editor is more anx-
iOus to discover merit in manuscript
than is the author to have him. Novel
" and freshness are to-day the ruling
elements in literature and the editor
is watchful for either in all the manu-
scripts which come under his eyes. If
authors would devote more time and
care to the composition of the manu-
scripts, and less to worrying what be-
came of them after they reached the
editorial desk, literature and the read
ing public would be the gamers. No
author need ever invest her soul in
anxiety that her manuscript is not
read. In these days of sharp literary
competition, the keeneSt outlook is re-
quireu of the editorial room, aud good
manuscript or a bright idea need not
search long for a market. Well-tO1d
stories are not so plentiful that even
the unpromising looking manuscript
can afford to be overlooked. An author
can always feel sure OF one point
that if her manuscript is returned.
there is some reason for it, aud the
cause Is generally not very far off or
obscure, if search is only made for il.
Either the production lacks merit, or
the wrong channel has been selected
for the material. These are generally
the two principal reasons. There is a
world Of common sense in the remark
made by famous author to a Young
writer who was loudly complaining of
editorial inappreciation: Don't waste
so much time blaming the editors; de-
vote to seeing if any rests upon you. =

An anecdote OF a startling character
is related by Mrs. Coils in her book,
"a Woman's War Record" just pub
lished. 1t is intended to illustrate the
recklessness which took possession OF
the men when every day brought them
face to face with death. 1t was at a
ball given during fine winter at head
quarters. well do ! remember, u
writes Mrs. Coils. expressing my
sympathy to a distinguished cavalry
General for the loss of his only son, to
which the gallant sabreur responded:
Yes madam, very sad! very sad! lie
was the last of his race. Do you waltz?'
And away he went to the celebrating
music Of a dashing galop leaving all
melancholy far behind him."
