a FeatheIed HumOrist.

Parson Kiner, of the Geneseo News,
has made discovery concerning the
feathered tribe, and he thus enlightens the
world:

oriole This brilliant little rogue's Oft
repeated taunt is right here. right here ?"
He says it as plain as ever quail said
Bob White" Now, when he says fright
here" just go and look for him. We have
looked for our oriole who has nested
mate in one of those ancient naples across
from our barn, till the back Of our neck
had a crick in it, and cataract had
notion to move into our eye. and divil the
haporth av him could we see. And all
the time he kept saying right here right
herel" We felt sure he was laughing at
us. The only time'one can see an oriole
is when he fits like flash of fame from
one tree to another. But what pretty
fellows they arel 1t is a wonder that
some of The good sisters don't have them
shot to stick on their hats!

A Sudden Death.

Among those who boarded the steamer
w. G. Hall en- route from Hawaii to
Honolulu was Mr.. III. N. Greenwich.
While at breakfast Monday morning he
related about receiving letter from a
friend in which was an account OF the
sudden death of another man. MI. Green
we'll made the remark that he would pre-
fer such death had he his choice. A few
minutes later he ordered the steward to
get him some poi. Before the walters re-
turn Mr.. Greenwell had expired. AS
the steamer was about two hours out
from Keauhou, she returned leaving
the remains there.
Before coming to the islands he was
connected with the British navy, hold
ing at one time the position of captain OF
Scottish Highland regiment. Upon
arrival here he went to Hawaii where
from time to time he purchased land TIL
he became owner of large tract. He
was one of the first to engage in the cul
tivation of oranges and coffee. He hello
the positions of School Agent for Kons
and Collector of Customs at Kealakekua
Hawaii. He died at the age of 81, leav
ing widow and ten children.

ports, but she is a large food inn
porter. Russia pours her surplus
wheat by thousands of tons from
Odessa through the Dardanelles,
and must needs have a market.
Bombay and even Egypt are COM
petlng for the wheat market of
Europe more and mere keenly
every year, and the central and
Eastern countries will be likely to
suffer more when confined so large
ly as they must be to land traffic
than France with her ample coasts
looking north, south and west.
Add to all this the obligations of
existing treaties which do not as a
rule allow high contracting parties
to make corners and rings of inter-
national interests.
France imports largely of grain
and -four, and might possibly be-
come or seek to become larger
customer of the United States, but
the cereal produce of even the
States will have to be yearly en-
larged to meet the demands

city of Chinese laborers, for al
though the rate of wages now paid
is higher than it has ever before
been-twenty to twenty-six dol
lars per month and found-yet the
number employed, about 1000, ls
smaller than it has been for sew
eral years past.
1t will surprise many to know
that the domestic consumption Of
rice here now is as large as it is,
probably eighteen millions of
pounds for the current year. The
number of Chinese in the Kingdom
is estimated at $4,000 and that of
Japanese at $4,000, with 1000 more
to arrive before July. This makes
total of $4,000 persons no where
who subsist chiefly on rice, the
Chinese using about one and half
pounds per head, and the Japanese
rather more, say one and three
quarters each. The amount of rice
exported last year to San Fran
cisco was 1859, 900 pounds, which
is probably larger than it will bt
in 1891, owing to the increased de
mand for home consumption, equa
to at least one and a half millionI
of pounds per month. Leading
rice planters say that If the lab
orers could be had, four to fiv'
thousand would be regularly EN-
ployed in cultivating rice, instead
eff 1000 as at present.

IT NAY appear strange, but it is
none the less true, that there is a
scarcity of rice In this market.
Here in Hawaii, a rice-growing
country, which last year produced,
as is estimated twenty-five millions
of pounds, of which fifteen millions
were consumed as food land 10, $780,
600 exported, has not ten days
supply on hand. We have been
asked what has caused this scar
city, and find on inquiry that it is
partly owing to the large ship
ments made to San Francisco dur
ing the first quarter of this year,
and partly to the lateness of the
spring crop, which generally ripens
in April, but is very backward, on
account of the cold and stormy
weather during February and
March. A third and perhaps the
most important cause is the scar

EUROPEAN COMPLICATIONS.

The accounts which reach US
from Europe of the new Austro-
German commercial treaty which,
it is reported, has just been signed,
may prove of vast Importance to
the whole mercantile world as de-
ranging the accustomed course of
trade, and establishing artihcially
a new set of conditions differing
from and largely opposed that
which had established itself by the
mere force of international conve-
nience as developed in the course OF
many years, and sanctioned by the
assent of many international agree
ments.
By the reported German Aus
trian treaty provision is made for
treating with other powers reci-
procally, and it is proposed to offer
Russia the benefits of differential
tariff.
It is further announced that the
first named two powers have in
vited Italy, Switzerland and Bel
GUM to Join in a convention in
VIENNA for the avowed purpose OF
forming a coalition of central Eu-
ropean States against protectionist
countries.
But it would seem that Difficult
| ties almost insuperable arise IN the
way of this scheme from the very
inception. Russia indeed will
gladly join in anything that will
help her to the dearest object OF
her abmition, the confiscation and
annexation of all southeastern Eu-
rope to the Bosphoros and in due
time the Dardanelles and an "out
let" in the neighborhood of Sa-
lonica. This is directly opposed to
tho interests of Austria, a huge
heterogeneous empire without any
seaboard at all except portion Oh
one coast of the Adriatic, and only
one seaport of Importance, Trieste
in the furthest corner of the Adria'
tic, close to the recently-ceded pro
vince of Venetia, and watched over
greedily by Italy to which it il
only part of Unredeemed Italy
Austria then also covets the out
let of Salonica.
Again, Austria would not like tc
see both banks of the Danube, tt
it's mouths, in the Black Sea, in the
hands of Russia.
Great Britain would make very
urgent objections to the south east
ward course of Russia and woult
no doubt gladly extend the bound
airy of Greece eastward or o
Austria either east or south to holC
Russia in check, and give Bulgaria
! Servia and Roumania time TO reacl
a mature independence.

THE LEADER

Everyone who reads knows the result
of Don Quixote's "battle with the wind
mills" Even though that cratic indi-
vidual had only the most primitive mills
to combat he found himself done up"
on his first attempt to subdue that which
had aroused his ire; had be come in
contact with an Aermotor it is probable
that he would have refrained from any
attempt to contest the ground with SO
strong machine. We can excuse him
for his action in battling with the an
cient style windmill, and could have
done so had he waited few years longer
and tackled the old fashioned wooden
mills which are now going rapidly out
OF date, but there could be no excuse for
his desire to fight steel Aermotor. He
would not be in it.
Don Quixote's farce reminds us of the
attempts of some persons of to-day who,
with even greater confidence than the
Don, start in for a fight with the Aer-
motors. They buckle on their armor
and start out, only to end by adding to
the rapidly increasing popularity Of the
Aermotor, The greatest windmill on
earth"
We get new invoice of Aermotors
by each steamer and yet cannot
supply the demand for them. They are
recognized as the most powerful mill in
operation, and We do not hesitate to say
that within six months there will not be
single individual who needs wind
mill on these Islands who will buy any
other kind.
You have been told through the news
papers before that the mills are SO light
in construction that gentle zephyr will
run them so easy and perfect are those
we have seen in operation, and by q
letter recently received from purchaser
of an Aermotor We are almost tempted
to tell you now that they will run in q
dead calm. This would not be fal
wrong for We have seen a 12-foot mil
revolve rapidly when there was mo-
enough wind to carry the smoke from
the stack of steam engine only shor
distance from the Aermotor. These ar,
facts much too hard for the manufac
turers of other mills to fight. We enjo'
hearing the praises of other mills sun,
because parties interested in windmill
make comparisons and then come to on
store and select an Aermotor. HA
