A REMARKABLEM MAN.
His Heart Displaced and a Silver
Plate in His Head.

Plate in His Head.
George Burns, residing on Twenty
second street, below Federal, Phila-
delphia, was found in a delirious con
dltion and was taken to the station
on suspicion of being drunk 1t was
there discovered that he was not I'M
der the influence of liquor, but opium.
Burns said hehad been given a prep
aration containing the drug to lull
the pain OF a bodily nlalady. He sur
prlsed DR.. Judge, who was sent for, by
revealing his physical condition. He
drew from his pockets aroll Of newspa-
per clippings which Indicate that he was
a remarkable 'freak." First Of all he
told the doctor and Lieutenant Scott
that heart was located on the right
side Of his body, instead Of the left,
and asked them to place their hands
on his chest and feel it's throbbing.
They did SO and were astonished. He.
next asked them to tap on the crown
OF his head and when the tapping gave
forth a muffled, metallic sound he in
formed them that a large piece of his
skullhad been rem owed by the trephine
and a silver plate substituted for the
missing portion,
DR.. Judge then wrote down history
OF Burns case as giveu by himself.
He saip he said he was an engineer
IN the navy, and in the wreck Of the
Saratoga on a rock off Martha's Vine
yard, in 1884, he was badly broken
up. He said his skull was smashed
and he was otherwise disabled by the
explosion at a, shell while he was engi-
neer on the gunboat Essex at the attack
on Fort Fisher during the rebellion.
Altogether, he had had both legs frac-
tured, the lower portion Of the right
one being broken in two places, and a
compound fractures Of the upper por-
ton of the same limb; he had had
three ribs on the left side removed
after they were fractured, the silver
plate was put in after he had suffered
compression of the brain, He re
ceived a pension Of 81 a week, which
he had forwarded to his fam.

Where Is Columbus Grave :

but it is aNerred that the French dur

Arthur Monteforein Temple Bar may

to lease for a term of years the bones
of the great, the only Christ opher. =
He was prepared, he intimated, to paw
for q guard of eight SC ldiers, as well as
for the services OF four priests. He

Too Willing To Suit.

A needy Frehchman once heard
that a marriage was on the tapis be-
tween the daughter of a certain
wealthy merchant and the son OF a
rich banker. The doWry that was to
be given to the bride was 100000
francs. The merchant was well known
to be on the lookout for a good
bargain or to save a dollar, so on this
the Partisan founded his hopes on
good dinner at least.
\, He accordingly called at the mer-
chants residence and asked the priyii-
lege OF seeing him on very important
business. After a little while he was
admitted to his presence.
s'The matter, sir, on which 1
called" he began, involves for you
the practical saving of250.OOO francs
II .
'Oh, my dear sir" interrupted the
merchant, S'this is too serious to Be
discussed before dinner, and, as it is
now my hour for dining, pray take
dinner with me, and we will after
ward consider your proposition at
our leisure"
Having partaken OF a meal that left
a pleasant flavor in the unfortunate
memory the rest OF his life they. re-
turned to the merchants study. q
"Andpow am ready to hear your
proposal" he remarked.
The Partisan, after a moments
thought, began:
Il understand, sir, your daughter is
to be shortly married to the son of
the banker. d Argent?"
Yes, that is true
Sand that her dowry is half mil

This was also assented to.
Well, then, here is my idea, I am
ready to take her for half that sum!
And thus you will save or gain ex-
actly 100000 francs. = .

as "a slight sketch, to be elabora-
ted in the large work which he
hopes to publish on the ornithology
of the Sandwich Islands," but
which now constitutes a number of
a periodical devoted to bird-science,
called the Ibis.
Before touching on the main SUBJ
ject Mr.. Wilson gives an interest
ing description of the principal
forest trees of the Islands, with the
altitude at which each species
fiourishes most abundantly, and
adds some very pertinent remarks
on the imminent danger of deforest-
ing large tracts of land, which, he
Justly says, "would lose much of
their charm were their native
birds, conspicuous for the briIliancy
of their plumage, and remarkable
from their peculiarities, to be re-
placed by the noisy Mynah, the
pugnacious Sparrow and the Singa-
pore dove" Mr.. Wilson was able
to secure several specimens of the
"Oo," but believes that the still
more valuable i" Mamo," Drepanis
Pacifca," is absolutely extinct, as
the only specimen he was able to
get was from the collection of Mr..
Mills of Hilo, formed thirty years
ago.
This number is illustrated by
most beautifully executed colored
lithograph of two varieties of the
Akihiloa, "Hemignathus," which
he names the H. Hanapepe and the
II. Stejnegeri.
We can only say that if Mr. Will
sons larger work be carried out
and completed in accord with this
fragment, it will be companion vol
ume worthy to take its place beside
Mr.. Sinclair's Flora of Hawaii, and
what greater commendation could
we give.

Among the passengers of the

who is off on vacation, in which he
will combine both pleasure and busi-
ness. He passes through to London
where he will visit some of his
former fellow practitioners at the
London Hospital. Thence he will
go to Berlin to make a thorough
study of DR.. Koch's lymph, expect
ing to return to the Islands in four
or five months with some of the
lymph to be used here. The doctor
expressed himself to an ADVERTISER
representative as having great faith
in the lymph not only for consump-
tives but for those affected by lep-
rosy.

KAHUNAS.

We notice some structures in the
Bulletin by a correspondent sign
ing himself Hawaiian" on our arti-
Gle of the 9TH on the mortuary sta
tistics of the past month. "Ha-
waiian" does not for very sufficient
reasons question the prevalence of
kahunaism or the mischief it is
doing, but refers US back to the
good old times when every rood of
ground maintained its man, and
chiefs, kahunas and kanakas -four
ished alike. We can point out
several reasons why the kahuna of
old was not SO deadly as his mod
ern successor. First then the Ha-
walian of old was not so suscepti-
bic to ailments of many kinds as is
his successor. The kanaka of old
worked as hard, at all events DUR
ing the planting and harvesting
season as his descendant. but not
in rain soaked clothing. Simple
diet and life generally gave him
more power to resist and vitality
to throw off diseases. A wound
would heal by the first intention
then, where now it would be likely
to run a complicated and more
dangerous course. But the ka-
huna himself has changed for the
worse still more. He clings to
what little he knows of the sor-
Gerry part of the business, but has
largely lost the knowledge of
herbs and simples and handy ape
rients and innocent febrifuges, and
has seized with the profanity of
ignorance some of the most pow
erful, and in hands such as his the
most deadly drugs of the modern
pharmacopeia. Calomel is said to
be in frequent use. What prepare
tions of opium are administered
without knowledge only few Ha-
waiian speaking foreigners can
know. With what cathartics ka-
huna's patients are drenched
few are aware. But the reckless
way in which surgical attentions
are either avoided at the time of
accident, or reversed after treat
ment is not so easily hidden.
But what we more particularly
meant to point out, is the sorrow
and shame of it, that people who
are rearing the third generation of
Christian-born children, should be,
as unquestionably they are open to
such pernicious influence.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE PRIVY
COUNCIL.

At a meeting of the Privy Council of
State, held at Iolani Palace on Thursday.
Jan. %, 1891, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
AFTER reign longer than that of any
other sovereign of Hawaii but one, the
earthly life of our beloved King, ,Kalakaua,
was closed at 2:30 O'Clock on Tuesday, the
10Th day of January 1891 in San Francisco,
California, United States of America.
Failing health for some months past
made it seem advisable that he should seek
TO regain it by avoyage to the more bracing
climate of California, and inspired with
this hope, he left his kingdom in Novem-
Der last. The voyage and change of cir
cumstances at first seemed TO benefit him,
but at length mortal disease appeared with
increased vigor, and he sunk TO sleep
scarce nine days ago in a foreign land.
The friendly ship which the Hawaiian peo-
pie were waiting for with expectant eyes,
came this morning, bringing back, not
their Sovereign in renewed health, but,
alas, his lifeless remains. The decorations
of loyal affection preparing for his recep-
ton are speedily changed into those of
mourning, and we meet to-day in the i'm
pulse of common sorrow.
The reign of our departed King was
memorable as an era of remarkable and
increasing prosperity. In the seventeen
years of his reign, now closed, this nation
has made rapid strides in its material in
dustries, education and the arts of civiliza-
ton.
But death comes alike to King and COM
moner, and the seventh Sovereign of Ha-
waii has gone TO join the roll of the Illus
trious dead. We humbly bow to the will
of God.
THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED. That the Priyy Council of
State here assembled, join with his be-
loved Consort, His Royal Sister and rela-
tives, and the Hawaiian people, in ex-
pressing our great sorrow at this untimely
decease of our late King.
RESOLVED, That the foregoing preamble
and resolutions be entered upon the re-
cords of the Pr1vy Council and published
in the newspapers of this city, and
RESOLVED, That the members of this
Council wear the customary mourning for
period of thirty days.
