Incidents I'm the Early Life of tho Consort
OF Queen Lilluokalanl.
Many an old-forter, says the Schen-
ectady Union, will remember a little
dark-slsinned, blnck-haired. foreign
looking boy playing in Front street and
around ''2's" engine house forty-five or
fifty years ago. He will be recalled as
Johnny Dominis. He was q stranger,
aud the boys took him in. The story of
the boy was this.
His father was captain of a whaler,
who, with his wife and three children
Johnny and his two sistcrs-livcd Mt &c
Front street, in the hospitable home of
Rev. DIR. Andrew Yates Dominis
cruiscd in the neighborhood of the
Sandwich Islands. This was mission
airy ground, and Dominis was a pious
man. DR.. Yates became interested in
him and his family. So durir.y the long
cruises the wife and children remained
here. The two sisters, Fanny and Cath
crime, died of remarkable complaint;
two rapid growth. Like lilies they
rose rapidly, tall, slender and fragile,
dropped and diedS Both lie near the
tomb of Colonel Christopher Yates, and
by the grave of DIR. Andrew Yates.
The captain took his last voyage.
Pirates seized his ship in the south Pa
cific, and the brave officer was made to
walk plank into the sea. The widow
and her children went to the Sandwich
Islands, leaving some boxes of house
hold goods in the charge of the family
with whom size had lived so long. A
prey to dementia and melancholy, she
walked every day along the Stores of
Honolulu, refusing to believe the death
of Eer husband, and watching hourly
for his return. A little while ago the
faithful wife's vigil ended, and she met
him on another shore.
Meanwhile Johnny throve apace. He
was well taught at Miss Ritchie's
school, grew to be n man of brain and
nerve and activity, won the confidence
OF King ka;allaua, was made Governor
Of the island of Oahu, married Liliuo-
lalnni, the Kings sister, and ultimately
became in reality the ruler of the
islands.
King Kalallaua came to this country
on visit in 1881, and Johnny came
with him. Johnny was written to by
those of DIR. Yates family who were
then in Schenectady to come and get his
two trunks. But he had his hands full
with the royal traveller, and he wrote a
letter of thanks, saying that l., had in
tended to come here, but his constant
attendance on his Majesty made it inn
possible. He did not say he was having
worse racket than he ever had on the
old fort, but it could be read between
the lines. He directed the trunks to be
opened. They were, but nothing but
what had evidently been handsome furs
and laces and other feminine bric-a-
brac crumblinG into dust was DISCLOSED.
And now the King is dead. Johnny's
wife is Queen, Johnny himself is Prince
Consort rs Prince Albert, of England,
was. But Johnny is really King; has
been for fifteen years. Think of boy
being educated ut Miss Ritchie's school,
and under the refining influences of the
old fort coming to be king.

SENATOR LA GRAVE.

Hon. Chas. A. IaGraye, Senator
from Humboldt county, the author of
the Ballot Law, ard the ulost popular
Senator of Nevada, arrived in Winnie
mucca on Sunday morning and re-
turned to the field again last evening.
-[SilVer State.
Had the La Grave bill become a
law as it was introduced it would be
m admirable means OF preventing
fraud at elections; but it seems that
there were those who were not salts
tied with measure which would pre-
vent the purchase OF votes, and hence
the slight amendment" tackled on in
the Assembly. Section 81 of the
original bill is as follows:
Sec. 81. But one person shall oc-
cupy any one booth or compartment
at one time, aid no person shall re-
main in or occupy booth or COM
partment longer than may be neces.
sary to prepare his ballot, and in no
case longer than five minutes.
This section would effectually pre-
vent the interference OF "frieud" in
preparing the voters ballot, but that
did not suit the vote broker. An
other section Of the original bill reads
rs follows:
Sec. %. A voter who declares,
under oath, that by reason of physical
disability he is unable to mark his
ballot shall, at his request, receive the
assistance OF any two of the election
officers that he may choose in the
marking thereof, and such officers
shall thereafter give no information
regarding tho same.
This provision should certainly be
satisfactory to anyone who is in favor
OF pure ballot, for it gives voter
who is physically disabled the oppor-
tunity to vote, and at the same time
it would prevent any fraud, as two of
the sworn election officers, who are
generally good and substantial men,
are required to mark the ticket, thus
preventing any Interference from in
terested parties. But it seems this
was not satisfactory, and Senator
Sproule informs us through the Free
Press that the Assembly amendment
provides that a voter who is unable
to make out his ticket may take
friend into the booth with him to
prepare it. This provision destroys,
in great measure, the force OF the
bill, for if the voter has sore finger;
if he has left his specs at home; il he
is too illiterate to read; if he does not
understand the English language; in
short If for any reason he says he is
unable to mark his ticket properly,
ready friend slips in the booth with
the voter-and good bye, secret bal
lot. Section % was just the thing,
and all that was necessary, to protect
physically disabled voter and pre-
vent fraud, but that would not suit
those who make a business of DUR
chasing votes.
When the article under the head of
"a Secret Ballot" was published in
the INDEPENDENT of the 18th instant
We had no thought that the "slight
amendment" made in the Assembly
affected the 2lst and 23rd Sections of
the original bill.
