Yes! Not ID ad Yet.

Mr.. EDITOR; The Daily Bulletin
seems very DESTROYS of starting with
us, on the subject of Tahiti and its
proposed steamship line, a discus
sion which we cannot accept. In It's
article ga death blow to the Tahiti
line" the Bulletin, probably with the
best good faith, made wrong state
ment calculated to greatly mislead
the public, and we simply tried to
state the honest truth, in our answer
''Not dead yet" But stubborn as
the Bulletin generally is, instead of
merely registering the correction,
that paper takes us to task, by ask
ing rather ironically: "Does NJ.
Cognet suppose that the Tahitian
Government would subsidize two
lines" This obliges us to come out
again with a final yes, based, not
like the Bulletins gratuitous asser-
tions, on mere rumors and opinions,
but on an official document, viz, the
vote of the Tahitian parliament
| (Conseil GeneraD-of last Septem-
Der, already mentioned in our first
answer, Not dead yet" which the
Bulletin would have done we'll to
read more carefully.
We are quite willing to record the
wish expressed by the Bulletin, when
it says that writer would be much
pleased to see Tahiti connected with
these Islands by steam, subsidy or
no subsidy" but it seems to us that
the Bulletins actions go dead
against it's professed wish, unless
this be only rhetorical irony; and
this opinion is based on the fact
that, until now, the Queen street
newspaper has only tried to ridicule
the Tahitian Islands and discredit
their government. It might, per
haps be possible to discover the spe
cial reason of that tactic, as well as
of the presumable hostility against
our projected line, but as it is not
our custom to bow down to any one
we can hardly be expected to change
our rule even in favor of the wise
editors of the Honolulu Bulletin.

A Simple Remedy for HiccOugh.

DIR. Loebl reports in the Allge-
meme Wiener Mediziniche Zeitune,
No. 80, 1889, the case of a man, aged
54, who suffered for five days and
nights from a most obstinate hic-
cough. After trying all the ordi-
nary measures without avail, he fell
back upon household remedy as a
last resort, and ordered a teaspoon
full of pulverized sugar wet with an
equal volume Of wine vinegar, to be
taken at one dose. The hiccough
stopped Immediately and did not re-
turn for six hours, and then ceased
again upon second dose of the
remedy.

TO THE PORTUGUESE OF KOHALA.
We are informed that Mr.. r. Hind, a
planter in Kohala, threatens his en-
ployees that he will give them no work
If they buy the lands which the Govern
ment is going to sell near the plantation.
We advise the Portuguese to give sucn a
planter send off.
Work is not wanting at dollar day,
and if men cannot find it in Honolulu
they can 60 to Kau on Government
road which will probably offer at least
a dollar and quarter.
Let them buy lands when they are ap-
praised, for what we can guarantee them
is that the planter cannot, by law, buy a
single one of the lots which are going to
be sold. Let them hasten to file their
applications as soon as the lots are num-
bered. We believe that Cornelius Bond
will be the person charged to receive
them. Let them not lose this chance,
because it is perhaps the last.

company sometimes keep, who told
me that 1.-THE poor fellows lot Is not to

he depends, being now seventy, few
about the court take the trouble to be
civil to him. Military men don't at all
relish being told. of to ATTEND" this
curious Royal Highness. Though the
Queen Is exacting OF respect for him,
she treats him herself with curt dry
ness, and she expects him to be always
hanging about the Princess Beatrice,
who since her marriage keeps as close
to her Majesty rs her shadow, and Is
constantly getting up entertainments
for her royal mothers delectation, which
Prince /" thinks awful bores. He would
infinitely prefer friendly pipe and
flagon OF beer and war Of words at
Rneipe TO her tableaux wants, private
theatricals and concerts The concerts
arc the most doleful things imaginable.
The Princess performs on the piano and
gets herself accompanied by other in
struments. She is particularly fond OF
the violin, and has always some first
rate violinist to play with her. Prince
b. used to turn the leaves of her music
book when they were freshly married,
but he has since allowed lady or gen.
'tlerhan in waiting to do that honorable
service, and sits near the musicians
seeming to listen, but moro often than
not in brown study. II it were not for
the pleasures of memory these concerts
would be uncomfortable. The Queen, who
loves music, is nearly always present
and sits by herself, with dusky per-
sonal attendant standing behind her
chair. She, too, is wrapped up, and no
doubt also passing mentally in review
her bygone pleasures. Whenever she
makes a sign to Prince B., he is on his
feet in an instant, walks over to her,
and stands before her in an attitu Of
submission. She would not put up with
any other. There never was more
despotic sovereign in the precincts OF
her court than our constitutional mon
arch, and her mind is so full of the be-
lief in her prerogatives, in all that re-
CARDS etiquette and the department Of
her family and household, that her will
ovcrbears every other. One feels that
it is imperious as fate. Prince b. new
err attempts to dispute it until he gets
beyond its range. He then tries to make
new conditions and thus improve his
position. At Graft he thoroughly en-
joyed himself. There was smoking,
beer-drinking, capital music, in an un-
affected way, guard-room talk with Count
Won Hartenau and Austrian officers and

they were asked TO como another day.
Next day they called again; the rabbi
not having yet recovered, nilsson; man
of forty-hve, learning that their busi-

conversation they consented, ut the same
time requesting to be conducted to some
remote apartment where there was no
danger of being overheard. This being
done, ono Of them said TO him: Every

furnish you with q fine, plump and

and the child shall be obtained in such

secrecy" The rabbits SON, as may we'll
be supposed, was thunderstruck ut the
proposal, but he dissembled his feelings
and stated that before he could enter
into any definite arrangements with
them 1t was necessary he should consult
his father. They having assented to
this, he withdrew to his fathers room
and briefly related to him the story Of
the grim proposal. Speaking in the He
brew tongue, for fear the men outside
should understand, the father told him
to dispatch messenger speedily to the
headquarters Of the police, requesting
the chief of police TO send Immediately

then to 90 back and keep the Greeks.
