Dance at Remond Grove.

Last evening, at 1880, special train
carried.a party of about one hundred
ladies and gentlemen to Remond
Grove for an informal dance. The
tyranny which society exercises as to
costume, etc., was for the nonce re-
volted against, and both sexes were
permitted to consult comfort and con-
venience as we'll as beauty and ele-
gance in dress. Dancing was begun
early and kept up with a zeal, which
was only delayed once, and that was in
response to call to supper. After
sandwiches, salads and other light
and tempting edibilia, had cast new
fuel on the flames which were wet
down in vain by large quantities of
delicious punch, dancing was renewed
until the first moment of the new
day, when the iron horse snorted and
refused to wait any longer.
The party was organized under the
auspices of Mr.. Bruce Cartwright and
others, and was in all particulars en-
joyable, offering an agreeable diver
sion from the conventional round.

AGENTS for the

UNITED STATES WATER FILTER.
1t is hardly necessary to direct the
attention of the public to the fact that
pure water is one of the principal agents
in preserving health and insuring per-
feet comfort in household. The germ
of our most malignant diseases can be
traced back to impure water.
The filter works easily, and, like
magic, turns the impurest water into a
perfectly colorless and absolutely pure
liquid.
This apparatus is attached to the Or
binary water-pipe and filters rapidly. 1t
is displacing the old slow-working filters
in the United States.

IN THE MOUNTAINS.
The New Tanta1us Roa0
Fact.

The first stage of the Tantalus road
is now completed, and the road is
open to the Chinaman's house at the
head of the Government forest. Yes
terday afternoon q party OF gentle
men, including His Excllency Z. N
Spencer, the Minister of the Interior,
II. F. Hebbard, the Road Supervisor,
Walter Hill, Postmaster-General, ana
two Press representatives, drove over
the road in a three-seated Surry with
fine span of horses. The day was
perfect one, cool and rainless. The
road starts mauka at the point where
the Punchbowl road branches behind
the hill. After ascending the Pauoa
ridge for short distance, 1t Dends 10
the right, crosses the gulch and climbs
the right hand ascent into the Gov
eminent forest. 1t winds through the
forest at moderate grade, aftordlng
alternately fine views into Maklkl
and towards the Waianae Mountains:
The forest, which may be considered
o Verdant reminder OF the merits OF
Mr.. Jaeger, who did so much for 1t, Is
looking very fresh and beautiful after
the rains. The lantana is in full
fiower-by it's beauty almost recon-
Cling one to its noXIous presence.
There are many valuable trees in the
forest, such as the silver waffle and
black wattle-trees very useful IN the
tanning industry - besides other
varieties of the acacia family. The
ironwood abounds, and most frequent
of all are the various kinds OF the
eucalyptus. The views afforded
through the trees over city, sea and
plain were most charming.
When the top of the ridge is
reached, the road bends once more to
the left, crossing the gulch and fol-
lowing the left hand ridge until the
house at the head of the forest is at
tanned at an elevation of about 100
feet. The locality is magnificent
one, and one breathes already a
different air. The members of the
party realized that the attainment OF
this point with a carriage was an
event of importance in Hawaiian
history, and they brought out toasts
to the Minister of the Interior, who
with the efficient cooperation of Mr.
Hebbard, had carried the road
through, and to John Buckley, the
driver, the first man who had brought
wagon and pair into these once Gin
accessible wilds.n Much of the roaC
above the point reached is already
finished, and with what remains o
the appropriation, $1,000, Mr.. Heb
bard thinks he will be able to suppl.

THE BRAZILIAN BOOM.


 No wonder Brazil is in bad way. Rail road grants have been made by the gov ernment aggregating 12,500 miles with a guaranteed capital of $320, ,000,0 ,000 and nominal interest charge of $20, 1000. .000 per annum. Two hundred a~d ten land grants have been made, and they cover no less than 76, 727, 800 acres. The Rio News points out that this is an area larger than Italy and nearly equal to the area of Great Britain and Ireland. "To give away such a part of the national territory to friends and speculators," it continues, ''is crime which no self-respecting people can ever excuse" The same minister, the Jornal do Commercial declares, contracted for the in troduction of ,415,750 families of inmi- grants, Ca number probably greater than that of half the present population of Brazil" Estimating the cost of each family at $270, the same journal asserts that "these immigration contracts render the country liable for sum which is more than eight times the amount ot the pres ent annual revenue of the country" The Rio News explains that the tassisted pas sages'' which the government undertakes to pay under these contracts average about $27 for each immigrant. ''If Vt add to this," it continues, 'the premiums offered, the maintenance and transporta tion of immigrants after arrival, and tht other purely government expenses con nected with the work, the average wil easily reach $54 for every man, woman and child brought into the country" These and other similsrities do no speak very well for the new government Dom Pedro wouldn't have done sucl | things

The Father of Pcdestrfani.m.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.l

Edward Payson Weston is still as vigor- ous as when he made his famous five hun dred and fifty mile record in London. But it has been years since he walked for money. He was the father of walking contests, and during his professional CA reer walked in all siSty-two thousand miles. I asked him to-day what he thought of the recent six-day contests. '1 haven't attended any of them he said. ''I tried to elevate the sport. There is no exercise like walking, and I attribute my present health and vigor to the walking l have done. It is pity that the contests cannot be conducted on the elevated plane they once were. As to the recent records which have been made you may say this: When was in the business a mile was un- derstood to be five thousand two hundred and eighty feet. Now apparently it may be anything less than that My experi- ence of many years taught me that no man can make anywhere near as many miles the second day as he does the first. I don't care what the records may be in the recent contests. know that on the second day the muscles of the leg are SC contracted that one's stride is four inches | shorter. The second is the worst day of any honest race. One can make more the sixth day than in the second"

London Letter to the Pittsburg Dispstch.l
 Whatever money is paid to working women or shop-girls in these big stores is so much over and above their board and lodging. In Whitley's establishment the wages run from twenty pounds to seventy pounds year for the female clerk. Out of this they are only obliged to provide their clothing; everything else is furnished them. A shop-girl in New York would think she was doing pretty well to receive from two to twelve dollars a week over and above her living expenses, even if she had to wear black silk dresses every day when she reached the seventy pound grade. The purchasing power of dollar, SO far as clothing is concerned, is double what it Is in our country. But l imagine our independent American girl would pre- fer to struggle along with the meagre sala " most of them receive with the power to come and go as they please rather thar to live in the cock-loft over the store and have no care as to what she shall eat and where she shall sleep, but be obliged tS live up to certain rules and be in the hous every night at eleven o'clock The shop here do not open before nine o'clock ii the morning and close early in the even ing. Thus the hours are shorter with tn, English shop girl and the work, as a rule lighter.

A MUNICIPAL PROBLEM


 How to get the amount of work paid for out of city laborers is problem which is receiving consideration in Boston, Chicago and New York. Boston already has plan in operation, and their plan will probably have trial in New York Under it laborers applying for employ ment are subjected to examination as to their physical ability to perform the labor required, and they must furnish certificates of character. Those who meet the requirements are enrolled to double the number needed to do the work, and from these the department makes its choice. The chief advantage of the sys- tenn is that if it is strictly adhered to men are employed under it upon their merits, and not as reward for voting services rendered or expected. The requirements are far from being so hard to meet as those already prescribed for the fire and police services, and they are by no means unreasonable.
 This is good plan, but of course it's efficiency lies in the thoroughnsss of it's application. One thing is certain, and that is that city should get as much work for a dollar as any other employer. As things go, however, in many cities, city laborers get their jobs because they have been or may be useful to some small poli- tician ,and not because they are capable and faithful laborers

plicstion from members of the exchange. He must furnish the person whose goods he inspects certificate of inspection which is good for three days from the time it is dated He has to keep a record of the per sons whose goods he inspects, the date and place of inspection, and the designating marks of the goods. He must inspect 30 per cent. of all lots, not exceeding fifty packages of one mark and from that down to 10 per cent. of lots not exceeding 1000 packages. The charge for inspection rang es from 50 cents to s, according to the size of the lots.
 In the event of dispute between buyer and seller upon the grade of goods tendered on spot contracts, the matter must be re- ferred under the rules of the butter inspec- tor. Very frequently a man buying 6 cer- tain quantity of butter comes to the con- clusion that it is not up to the grade for which the buyer has sold it. After the in spector has done his work and rendered his certificate, either party has the privi- lege of appealing from his decision to & special committee chosen from the seven members of the butter committee of the exchange. This special committee is made up of one man selected by the buyer and one by the seller, and these two select @ third in case they fail to agree. This de- cision is final as to the quality of the goods, and these arbitrators must declare before considering the question that they know nothing of its merits from conversation with the principles or otherwise The party against whom the decision is rendered pays g to each member of the committee for his services. The judgment of the inspec- tor is sometimes reversed by the court of appeal, but as a usual thing he is sustained. P. Fl. Mcbride has been the exchanges but ter inspector for the last four years, and he has given general satisfaction
 The egg inspector has deputy under him, and has the privilege of appointing others if necessity requires it. The classi- fication governing egg inspection is made up of thew laid" fresh gathered, ''limed, /" refrigerator" and 'fheld" eggs. New-laid eggs are called from March to Oct. l, and must comprise so per cent. of full, sweet, and fresh eggs, while fresh gathered must comprise 75 per cent. of new-lsid eggs. There are three grades governing inspection in each fthese class es, "first, |" seconds, "and known marks" When the dezision of the inspector is in favor of the buyer the seller has to pay for the cost of the inspection and pay the buy CT per cent. the seller pays in lieu of the penalty the difference between the con- tract and the market price. There is the same appeal from the inspector to special committee chosen in the same way from the regular egg committee of the ex- change. The present egg inspector is w. c. Roile.
