The Cowboys Attire.

Twas standing talking to a gentle
man here in Utopin one day who was
just from the states, when q cowboy

man. "Yes," replied. "Now, don't

only kind of u rig he can successfully
run cattle in, and he is not aware
that lie is exciting any especial at

About Prairie Dogs,

Prairie dogs lack the sense of dis
tance. At Cornell university several
OF them walked off chairs, tables and
window.si.ls unllesitatingly. This
is thought to be due to the nature OF
their usual habitat, u plain, with no
sharper inequalities than burrows
and mounds. One adult female
seemed to have wonderful immunity
from the i'll effects of falls. 1t once
fell from the top OF an elevator twen-
ty-one feet high and another time
from n window-sill, Sbont as
high, on n granite pavement, but
soon recoyered--Dr. Wilder in

HAPPENINGS AT HONOLULU.
WANT OF CONFIDENCE EXPRESSED IN
THE CABINET BY THE PEOPLE.

New Cabinet Appointed by King KRla-
kaua-The Attorney General of the Little
Isle Severely Ceusured for IN Illegal
Decision-The Proposed Treaty With the
United States.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-The steam
ship Mariposa arrived to-day, % days from
SYDNEY and seven days from Honolulu.
Hawaiian advices state that on June II
King Kalakaua appointed John Adams
Cummins, Minister of Foreign Affairs, vice
Jonathan Austin, resigned; Godfrey Brown,
Minister of Finance, vice S. NJ. Damon, re-
signed; Charles N. Spencer, Minister
of the Interior, vice Lorin A. Thurston,
resigned, and Arthur P, Peterson,
Attorney General, vice @. w. Ashford.
On Friday, June 13, Noble Widemann
introduced resolution in the Legislature
declaring that, whereas, it was apparent
that the constitutional advisers of the King
were irreconcilably divided against them
selves, and, it being impossible to heal dis
sension in any manner except by dissolu-
tion of the Cabinet, it was resolved that the
Assembly mark it's dissatisfaction with the
existing state of affairs by declaring a want
of confidence in the ministry.
Previous to the introduction of the reso-
luton Minister Austin replied to the charges
made against him by the majority report of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs, denying
that he disobeyed the instructions Of the
House to lay before It the documents re-
garding the proposed treaty with the United
States, or that he had abstracted important
documents in relation to that matter on the
plea that they were personal communica-
tions.
On the introduction of the resolution
Representative Brown, stating that there
was a greater principle at stake than the in
tegrity OF the Ministry, namely, that the
majority should not rule, offered amendatory
resolutions declaring that, whereas
Minister Ashford has advised the
King to refuse to follow the
advice of majority of the Cabinet, which
advice the Attorney General, the Supreme
Court passed upon and declared illegal and
unconstitutional, the Attorney General,
however, persisting in his advice to the
King, it was resolved that such assertion Of
the principle of the right of the minority to
rule was subversive to constitutional, rep
resentative government, and that the action
of the Attorney General was deserving Of
the severest censure and condemnation OF
the House, which did thereby declare its
lack of confidence in him.
A protracted and warm debate followed,
in which the Attorney General and some
members of the Legislature took the ground
that that body could get rid of one member
of the Ministry only by passing vote OF
want of confidence in the whole Cabinet.
The vote on Browns amendment resulted "a
to "a tie vote of all of the elective men,
bers of the House, including the President.
The Cabinet promptly resigned.

Talk about taking your life in your

trying to sit in the same seat, but the drum
mer had to hold on TO the iron arms of the
seat with both HANDS, and the jar and jolt OF
the car as it jumped from rail to
rail, and swayed from side to side,
jolted the words out of him in syllables and
made him a permanent sufferer. He was
like the old woman who was behind a runa-
way team and who ''trusted in Providence
till the, britchen broke" for he ceased to
trust in anything and gave up all hope when
he was thrown across the car and was then
slammed back again as the car began pound
ing over the ties. He was about to throw
himself out of the window when the train
