To all the readers of this paper.
We extend the heartiest of wishes.
that the New Year, the advent of
which we celebrate on the morrow.
may be one of happiness, content
ment and prosperity. To most OF
those engaged in business, the year
which closes tonight has been a
busy one, crowded with labor and
cares. yet its experiences have been
profitable, and we have many
reasons to be thankful to Him who
scatters his blessings SO freely and
80 abundantly. A HAPPY New YEAR
to all the patrons of the ADVERTISER,
but especially to the hosts of friends.
whose kind words and cordial SUD-
port have contributed SO much to
make the past year one of peace and
contentment.

GENERAL ARMSTRONG.

The following extracts from the
Southern Workman" give more
full report of the attack of paralysis
which Frustrated him than has been
published here, and will be read with
interest by all our readers. From
all that we can learn there is very
little prospect Of his regaining his
former health:
Our readers will naturally look to
the Southern Workman for some Of
fetal statement of the circumstances
and outlook of the case.
General Armstrong returned from
his Hawaiian trip very much rested
and refreshed, entered into the school
work with new vigOr, giving every
department the benefit of his touch,
assuming direct command of the bat
talon of cadets; and, when the time
came for the usual winter meetings
in the North in behalf of the school,
anxious to leave it's interests here
fully provided for, he decided to take
sole charge of the meetings.
The severe labor of daily-some-
times four daily-meetings, with all
the often more laborious personal
work between them, was too great
strain.
The paralysis was not instantaneous
as generally supposed, but, as it is
now evident, was coming on for as
much as twenty-four hours, gradually
affecting power of locomotiOn, and
not recognized by the General, who
attributed it to fatigue or rheumatism
perhaps. He insisted on meeting his
engagements, at Providence on the
evening of the 25th, and at Stoneham,
near Boston, on Thanksgiving day.
From the latter place, unable to con-
tinue his address, he was taken to his
room in the Parker House, Boston,
by our faithful young men whose de-
votion has been invaluable; and the
kilograms were sent out which
brought to his side by the earliest
trains his wife and daughters, Mr..
Frissell, and Mr.. Monroe, President
of our board of trustees. Friends
every possible attention of physicians
and nursing was at once at hand.
His physicians think the paralysis
w IlS IIOU ii Ol1I
but of somewhat less dangerous char
acter. He has never lost conscious
hess, nor completely the power of
speech, and his mind remains clear.
At one time he seemed falling but
the latest dispatches are that he is
sleeping well and less restless, able
to talk with his family and the few
other friends admitted to see him.
He is interested in outside matters,
insists that the meetings shall go on
which they do-and has even sent
directions for some affairs in the
school, though of course the effort is
to keep his mind as quiet as possible.
It goes without saying that whatever
degree of recovery may be hoped for,
or more than crown our hopes, abso-
Lutte relief from the great burden of
care will long be imperative.

A very well known gentle
man here was robbed last week
of some valuable diamonds
and a gold watch and chain.
Robbed while he was asleep,
dreaming of the rise in values,
interest rates, and the demand
for coin which the holiday
season would bring to the
average young man. He
mourns his loss " and as he
mourns he considers the adj
visibility of employing
someone in Honolulu to kick
him for not buying one of our
small Safes. A safe is really
the only protection a person
can have ; an expert thief
could not get in one without
making noise enough to dis
turb the entire neighborhood.

made. A hall will not obviate
the difficulty, but lamps such
as are used in halls, will. Ours
are very handsome ones and
reasonable in price. If you
tried one you wouldn't be with
out it again. The wind must
be very strong to extingulsh
the light. We know a gentle
man who has had one for more
than a year and the light has
blown out once.

1884,,

In recording some of the most i'm
portant events of the past year we
have to mention with regret many
incidents, and at the same time to
point forward to others with feelings
OF hopefulness. The year was not
one month old when the reports that
the U. s. Flagship Charleston was
nearing the harbor with all the SYM
bois OF mourning displayed, at once
announced that she was the bearer
OF the sad news of the death of
hlng Kalakaua, and was bringing
MS remains to be inferred in the
Royal mausoleum amongst his own
people. Arches, flags and notices
OF welcome prepared for His Males
tvs expected return had to be re-
draped in funeral array. The King
died on the Goth of January at San
Francisco, and the Government of
the United States at once detailed
the Charleston for the melancholy
service of showing this last mark
OF honor to the King and friendship
to the Hawaiian nation.
In accordance with the will of the
late King, and in obedience to the
Constitution, n. r. Fl. Liliuokalani,
his sister. was proclaimed Queen,
and took the prescribed oath, but
scarcely was the royal funeral sol
emnized when the question as to
whether or no the Cabinet was vaca-
ted. A reference to the Supreme
Court was answered by the opinion
that the Queen was authorized to
call for the resignation of the late
Kings Ministers and to appoint a
new Ministry. The question was
warmly debated whether the demise
of the Grown did of itself cancel the
commissions of the Ministers, but
this idea was seen to be not only un-
expressed in the Constitution and
therefore not intended, but to be
fraught with so many grave and
possibly injurious consequences
that the opinion of the
Judges was accepted, both as
technically correct, and as the
wisest course to be pursued. Ten
days after the funeral the Cabinet
resigned and a new one was ap-
pointed.
Queen Liliuokalani's first Ministry
consisted of the Hon.Samuel Parker,
Minister of Foreign Affairs; G. N.
Spencer, Interior; III. A. Widemann,
Finance; and W. A. Whiting, At
torney- General. His Excellency the
Minister of Finance was obliged by
ill-health to resign his portfolio six
months later, when he was succeeded
by the Hon. J. Mott Smith, the other
Ministers still remain in their respec-
tive posts.
PROFESSIONALLY the most import
ant event, commercially, of the year
was the taking effect on the first of
April of the Mckinley Tariff Act in
the United States, which by remov-
ing the duties from the produce of
all sugar growing countries, destroy
ed at blow the advantages, hitherto
exceptional, enjoyed by Hawaiian
planters. Every nerve was strained
throughout the Islands to hurry for
ward the first grinding of the year,
that the old prices might be realized
before the fatal LIST. An unprece-

have settled down t. plain
every day work. Well have
more time to wait on you,
more time to show you the
beauties in the odd bits OF Sill
verware that remain on our
shelves. The choicest are
gone but enough remain to
impress you with the idea that
ours is the best store in Homo
lulu for Silverware. 1t will
convince you of other things,
too-low prices for instance.
The Carving Sets did not get
the notice in this column that
their general get-up entitled
them to. But we sold plenty
of them. The old ivory sets
have been replaced by gen
uine Pearl-handled ones, very
stronglybuilt and proof against
destruction from hard usage.
They look like pieces of jew
elry.
Well drop pretty things for
a moment and go to something
for the use of machinists and
blacksmiths.
Everyone who does any
pipe or bolt cutting knows the
value of a good Die Stock.
They know what it is to suffer
the annoyance of a poor artl-
Gle, but the person who does
suffer knows not the existence
of a "Dmble&." They give
satisfaction because there is no
turning back over the threads
after it is once cut. That's
one good feature - for all
mechanics agree that it's the
turning back against the cut
ting edge that Injuries the dies
more than the actual cutting.
When the "Duplex " Dies be-
come dull by cutting they can
readily be renewed by sharpen
ing on a grlndstone. They
last longer, at least by four
fold, than any other made,
and at the same time avoiding
the common occurrence of
stripping or weakening the
thread, and rendering the
work worthless. We have
these Die Stocks for use in
bolt cutting from Is to IL in,
and for pipe from Is to 4 in.
They're light, strong, compact
and simple. Have no wrench,
thumb screw Or collets, the
tool is complete in itself and
will do more and better work
than any other hand die.
You've had so much of Cut
Glass literature lately that you
probably know as much Of
it as we do. but have you ever
