Matrimonial confab.
7rom the Chlcago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
"That was a very foolish young
woman in New York, observed Mr..
Billius, laying his morning paper
down for a moment, and renewing
the attack on his beefsteak, "that
married the wrong man the other
day, and blurted out her confession
to that effect at the altar. The
youngma she didn't marry has had
a lucky escape"
"Yes, she was foolish to make u fuss
at such a time" assented Mrs. Billius,
who was staring abstractedly at the
wall. "Most women find out soon
enough that they have married the
wrong man. but they have sense
enough to keep still about it, Have
some more coffee, John?" she inquir-
ed sweetly.

An electrician says that just what
takes place in the human organism
to produce death from an electric
currant seems to be an unsolved
problem. One of the theories soIle-
times advanced concerning it is that
when a being suffers death from
electric shock, it is a pure case of in
ternal rupture or explosion from the
generation of gas or yapor. In sup
port of this view the way in which
telegraph poles are sometimes torn
to pieces in referred to. The light
ming follows the moist portion of the
pole, which is the core or heart; in
this case the moisture is vaporized
and an explosion occurs. The high
resistance produces heat, the heat in
turn steam. and thesteam an explo-

but of his worldly affairs Dick Bassett
is as reticent as OF his early life. He
takes several daily papers and maya
zines, has n well selected library,
mainly Of travel and history, and has
a queer collection of old pipes, chiefly
corn cobs and briars. He is an invet-
crate smoker, but rarely drinks. lie
frequently spends the winter ON the
island alone, with an occasional hunt
ing expedition TO vary the monotony.
while some winters he seeks employ
ment in the lumber camps.
His recent visit TO Grand Rapids is
the first time he has sought pleasure
or recreation in city The only pets
he has is a monster Thomas cat and a
few dozen choice hens. lie does not
take kindly to dogs and has never had
one on the island. In summer his
house is never locked, and he goes
away leaving money and food on the
table in plain view, confident that any
visitor who comes in his absence will
not rob him. Many summer re-
sorters have visited his island, both
while he was at home and when he
was away. The Indians never
think of passing in their canoes
without maxi g him call, and yet his
commence mas never been betrayed. III
the visitors are hungry they help
themselves to the food spread on the
table, but as near as he can calculate
Bassett has never missed dollar In
money.
But there is a strange circumstance
in regard to the island. 1t is SO small
and insignificant IL has never been sur.
veyed and Bassett has not been able TO
secure legal title to it from the
government TO his inquiries,
he has been informed from
Washington that such an island does
not exist on the charts and maps, and
therefore has no legal existence. In
consequence Of this decision from Wash

verse county hold that Bassett is not

And the maiden muses. on marrying;

And courtiers rutfle, strut and shine,
While pages bring the Gascon wine;

Man builds his castles fair and high,
Whatever river runneth by,
Great cities rise in every land,
Great churches show the builders hand,

Great work is done, bet here ana there,
And well man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er befall,
The farmer he must feed them all.

HARB0R IMPROVEMENT.

EDITOR BULLETIN -
The Queens Ministry having set
tied down to business, it is to be
hoped that it will give earnest, imme-
date attention to our harbor and
wharf accommodation, now so made
quate even for present requirements.
The United States shipping bill re-
Gently passed will unquestionably
have the effect Of bringing to our
shores American steamers of much
larger tonnage than can Low be ac-
commodated, and the greyhounds

In an appearance: so, If we are
to receive any considerable benefit
from the increased traffic, it is i'm
perative that such vessels be enabled
to berth within the harbor, at
wharves at least $50 it. long and
with, say, 26 feet of water.
That such an undertaking IS teas-
ible and comparatively trfilng in
cost-consdering the vast interest
involved-has been, l believe, de-
monstrated. What loss it has been
in time past to our large port steam
ers and men-of war, it would be
difficult to computed Any Cabinet
carrying through to a finish com
plete scheme of harbOr development
will have the unanimous support of
the people.
Let such works as the Volcano
road, ETC., wait, those desiring TO
visit the volcano will go IN any event :
and it is at best luxury for the
good of the few on pleasure bent,
and is on a par with the PunchbOwl
dainty.
| urge that nothing should be al
lowed to stand in the way of the
great and necessary work outlined
a work which will vastly enhance our
commercial Importance, increase our
revenue, and in the future make our
port the Queenstown of the Pacific.

H0RNER'S ANSWER TO AnAB.

EDITOR BULLETtN:-
When reading Ahab's structures
on my communication in the Gazette
headed Grimes, Christians and Pro.
hibition," l thought perhaps the
printers had made me say what | did
not mean. | looked, read and found
that the printer had done justice to
my ideas and that my ideas were
true. AS | did not create those
truths, but only presented them in
shape to be looked at, don't think
Ahab will do much harm by his cri-
ticism. But will answer Ahab's
questions, viz, "What in Tophet is
he (Horner) driving at? What is his
starting point, what his goal?"
Ahab claims not to have under
stood my point, but his letter indi-
Gates that much bile has been thrown
off in consequence of his having read
it, although perhaps he did not un-
derstand it; so l will explain.
suggested in my communication
q way to remedy many of the evils
which Ahab has truthfully pointed
out, viz, Drink is great evil. 1t
has conquered thousands, the best
beloved of our race n The social
evil is a great evil, drink is a great
evil, men will rob, steal, play the
hypocrite, forge, lie, etc."
Ahab has associated in the above,
the drink evil with thieving, robbing
and other crimes: | will not dispute
that point, but as some of the evils
named above are already outlawed
by stringent prohibitory law Gal
though it don't entirely prohibit) L
claim that the drink evil should be
also hampered by stringent pro-
hibitory law, and thus much crime
and misery, arising therefrom, pre-
vented. This | thought could be
done if temperance people and
Christians would unite their forces
against the rumshop. They would
thus prevent more sin and crime
than they could do by any other
course of action. Thus ! argued
and saw no wrong in so doing.
Duty urges that | should note
another point in Mr.. Ahab's letter.
He says: "Drink is a great evil, y
but he speaks in its favor, by telling
us that, 'al great men have been
drinkers" This | don't believe, but
| do believe that many noted men
were drinkers and that some have
destroyed their usefulness and short,
ened their lives by drunkenness. Yet
| would not intimate by word or per
that any one ever did or ever could
become good or great by simply be
ing a drinker of strong drink. AL
noted men, am led to believe, were
made great by the deeds and dis.
coveries they made when sober, ano
what they did when drunk disgraceo
them instead of adding honor tC
their portion. Their drunken habits
should never be held up even by
Ahab, as worthy deeds to be copied

The new corporation, to be here
after known as the Volcano House
Company, has been duly incorpora-
ted under the management of Lorrin
A. Thurston. Numerous subscrip-
tions of stock have already been
made by various citizens, the largest
subscribers thereto being, as is gen
orally the case, interested parties.
From the prospectus issued it is
cleaned that the objects of the new
enterprise are to develop tourist
travel, and at the same time to build
up corporate business which will
pay good interest upon the money
invested by stockholders. Both of
these objects are praiseworthy, es-
pecially the latter, provided local
competition consents to the plan, as
it is understood to do.
Any enterprise which will attract
to our shores extra tourist travel
should and will receive the hearty
Endorsement of our merchants and
hotel keepers. OF course the coun-
try generally will profit by any
scheme like that proposed by the
Volcano House Company, which, at
least, is willing to forward an enter
prise attractive to pleasure-seekers
and prospective settlers.
1t is admitted the company in
question do not propose to advance
the scheme at loss or at any prob
able chance of loss. 1t may, there
fore, be conceded the enterprise will
be made a success by those manag-
ing it. More than this, it can conf
IDENTIFY be expected that with such
men as Messrs. W. X. Castle, K. {.
MacfarIane, L. A. ThurstOn and
others, at the head of the enterprise
it will not only prove a success, but
will, in the near future, do incalcul-
able benefit toward increasing the
tourist travel to Hawaii, through the
home influence and broad, foreign
con injections of the gentlemen men
toned
Among the subscribers to stock in
the enterprise are such influential
business men of known repute, as
