posts and rolled from the roof. In less
than a minute the house was empty, ex-
cepting the missionaries and an i'm

At the beginning of the disturbance
the missionaries supposed that it was a
sudden attack from a hostile tribe or an
uprising against themselves; but they
soon ascertained that the black hog
which lay granting in comfort on the
straw, ''puaa anana" Ia six-foot hog),
as the natives call those of that size, be-
longed to Queen Kaahumanu, and was
held sacred by the natives; that the
canoe house was its accustomed resort
in the heat of the day, and its abrupt
entrance among the crowd, swinging
its sharp tus1s from side to side with
perfect contempt of the common peo-
pie, was sufficient to cause the exodus
described.

Dying With Fear.

The enemies of free silver are diving
with fear, so to speak, of the schemes
of the owners of the silver mines We
make no doubt such fears are very vir-
tuous-as such fears always are-and
we are ready to rain tears of sympathy
as large as walnuts, if that were pos
sible, upon the degeneracy of the silver
miners and their menace to our common
country. But before we do any large
amount of crying over the silver
miners, we want to be informed def.
nitely as to who shall cry over the
schemes of the gold miners. 1t seems
to our simple intelligence that ruin from
the hands of the silver miners would
not be any worse than ruin from the
hands of the gold miners Why do not
some large-hearted and DISTINGUISHED
patriots come forward and bawl over
the wickedness of the gold miners? We
are willing to cry at will over the rain
of our country. But we want to do the
whole job at once; and so we insist that
the gold men be put with the silver men
in this Oncoming national boo-hoo-oo!-

THE WHITE HOUSE SILVER.
Various Pieces Purchased by Presidents
Since WashinRton's Time

Various Pieces Purchased by Presidents
Since WashingtOn's Time.
Mrs. Harrison is the only Presidents
wife, says Washington correspondent,
who has made an inventory of the fur
niture of the white house. She believes
that all of it's fine old articles have an
historic value and that they should be
preserved. Since the white house was
opened by Mrs. John Adams more than
$780, 600 has been spent for furniture,
but the amount of personal property
now in the white house would not bring
$50, 900 at auction.
A great deal of the table silver has
disappeared, but there is still some
which finds place of honor at the state
dinners.
One of the most beautiful parts of the
whole collection is the solid silver SER
vice which was bought by President
Monroe. The shapes of these articles
are curious. There are two SOUP
tureens with covers, and these tureens
are affixed to large, oval-shaped, fat
bottomed stands, which spread out be-
meath them like trays There are silver
cake baskets, silver gravy boats, solid
silver coffee and tea urns and fine cut
glass claret jugs with silver tops.
One of the most curious pieces of the
white house silver service is the silver
Hiawatha boat, which was bought
at the centennial exposition of 1876.
This is used at most of the state din
ners, and is always filed with flowers.
There are also the gold spoons and
forks which were bought by President
Van Buren,, and which formed cam
paign issue when President Harrison's
grandfather ran against Mr.. Van Buren,
and defeated him.
The glass of the white house is very
fine, and a great deal of it is required
for the wines which are used at state
| dinners.
A great deal of the glass was manu-
featured in this country. A New York
firm made fifty dozen pieces at one time
few years ago. These were ordered
early during Mr'Cleveland's term. Some
of the articles have an American eagle
cut upon them.-N. Y. Continent.

THE DRAMA AND THE NOVEL
A Wide Difference In Their Respective
Methods and Treatment

Wide Difference In Their Respective
Methods and Treatment.
The novel and the drama differ so
widely in their respective methods that
1t Is strange their results should be so
closely comparable as they are, for the
Impressions are really much the same
which come from reading we'll written
novel and from three hours in a good
theater. Hence arises the question
whether these two literary forms have
the same possibilities, or whether the
one can accomplish anything where the
other fails
The answer to this is doubtful, but
there is one point on which assurance
seems warranted: it is the inferior ade-
quacy of the drama to deal with vast
ness, to picture expanses of time and
space. For while the novelist, by ap-
pealing to the minds eye alone, can
make prominent what he pleases, the
dramatist is restricted, in addressing
the bodily eye, to the resources of the
carpenter and costumer.
The actors, too, almost monopolize
attention by their physical presence,
their gestures and the sound of their
voices, and he is, therefore, compelled
to devote himself exclusively to the
mutual relations of the dramatis per-
sonR together with the thought and
action arising therefrom.
The novelist, on the other hand, with
an amplitude of detail cunningly
wrought into his story, can re-create
an age and make a nation wear the
buckskin as well as man. To point
historical VO1o nd Ill -
power for the drama is to forget
that England, France or Rome, as the
case may be, appears almost only as a
name on the play-bill, and that it is
Falstaff and Henry, Bessus and Ar
baces, who live on the stage.
The difference, then, is one of per-
spective, and it is this which in wide
sense distinguishes the Elizabethan and
the Victorian views of life, and thence
of art.
A pictorial print of the former period
will show you, maybe, a human figure
or two. well enough drawn as regards
these, but indifferently as to surround
ings and backgrounds; while nowadays
broken teacup or distant hilltop is
rendered almost as faithfully as the
centerpiece.
The fact is, man is now seen more
nearly in his own place in the order of
things. Darwin and Calico have COM
bined to clog his self-assertion and
stimulate his wider interest, SO that he
now spreads broader canvas for his
art, which questions the Pleiades while
paying full attention to street lamps.
Ulysses is still Ulysses, but he is now
seen by Tennyson in place of Homer;
he is ga part of all that he has met" 1t
is, therefore, the present aim of art to
throw on life all manner of side lights,
such as the stage can hardly contrive,
but which the novel processes to man
age for those who can read.
The round, unvarnished tale of the
early novelist has been dead for over a
century, and in its place we have fiction
that seeks to be as complete as life it.

A MISSIONARY EPISODE.
How the Good Work in HiIo Was Int

How the Good Work in HiIo Was Inter
rupted BY the Queens Sacred Hog.
Shortly after the arrival of the first
missionaries at the Hawaiian islands a
small party of them landed from q
schooner at Hilo on their way to visit
the volcano of Kilauea. AT that time
no missionary had been stationed at
Hilo, and consequently but few of the
people of the place had ever had the
opportunity of hearing preaching.
As the party were detained in the viii
lage over Sunday morning they appoint
ed morning and afternoon services. 1t
so happened that the only building
large enough for the proposed meetings
was a canoe house situated on the
beach. Thither the congregation as
sembled at the appointed time in the
forenoon, filling the house to its utmost
capacity. There were old, SCARED and
white-headed warriors who had fought
in the wars of Kamehameha, sitting in
their kappa kiheis, through whose quiet
dignity of manner there shone certain
expression of expectation; there were
dried up old crones, to whom the
emancipation from the kapu had come
almost too late, and there were younger
people and children and babies, more or
less dressed, according to the conven.
ienoe or whim or wealth of each indi.
vidual. The posts which supported the
roof of the house were appropriated by
some of the more agile boys to elevate
themselves above the crowd, where,
clinging on like monkeys they awaited
proceedings with countenances express
i've of the greatest triumph and delight.
Others, with equal ingenuity and great
er comfort climbed to the outside of
the roof, and by stealthily
enlarging small holes, which they
| found through the thatch, or
making new ones had an unobstructed
view of the inside, and the enormous
size of their eyes, visible from below,
showed how they appreciated it. I'm
der these favorable circumstances the
meeting commenced; the preaching was
listened to with great attention by the
audience, and the missionaries felt that
they were making an impression.
Suddenly, when the meeting was
about half through, there ensued scene
of the widest confusion, men and wom-
en- rushed out of the building through
the uncovered sides, or wherever there
was an aperture large enough, rolling
over each other in the attempt, and
screaming most unaccountably. Babies

Although the "fretful porcupine' is
almost unknown in Orange county, the
curious creature Is quite numerous in
the wooded districts of Sullivan, Ulster
and Delaware counties, says the Mid
land (Me.) Argus.
One of the porcupine's peculiarities is
its inordinate fondness for leather,
which It seems to think one of the
daintiest of tidbits, and it not infre-
quently happens that one Of them, if it
gets chance at set Of harness, win
destroy it in single night, and many
trout fisherman who has left water
soaked boots or shoes out OF doors at
night has risen in the morning to find
them chewed to pieces by porcupine' s
sharp teeth.
1t is not often, however, that these
animals enjoy such feast as the one
which lives somewhere in the vicinity
Of Jim Gibbons blacksmith shop at
Stockpart, Delaware county, has par
taken of, for twice within a year the
''pesky critter'' has entered his shop
and eaten up his bellows. Anyone who
has seen blacksmith's bellows knows
how much leather there Is Ia one OF
them. and when the porcupine, in u
single night, ate up more than half of
one, it will be seen that he had, in
deed, suInptuous feast, and must have
been fairly gorged with leather.
