THE HILO RECORD.

His Excelleney Charley Mahopt
passed through our town last week
1t is a pity that the storm had moi
reached us before his trip through the
district, so that he could have had 8
realizing idea of our needs as regards
roads and streets. Hawaii has been
too much neglected by our Govern
ment. Communication with the out
lying country from Hilo is almost
entirely cut off by the want of good
roads and bridges.
The bridge across the Honolii has
been down for several weeks, and the
ferry consists of a few timbers nailed
together like raft, and you have to
swim your animal while you are on
the raft, and take your chances of a
plunge-bath while crossing. And yet
We do not hear that Mahope" has
done anything to help us there.
This almost cuts off communication
with all the plantations north of us,
except that of the Hilo Sugar Com
pany. How long this will continue
we can only say is matter of "Ma-
hope"
Now, we of Hilo need a first-class
wharf on the Waiakea side of the
bay; $4,000 has been appropriated,
but nothing spent, and why? Money
can be found to mile the roads in the
district-a thing which could be left
mahope, at least till the roads were
made, but none for a wharf.
This wharf is one of the greatest
needs at present. 1t is too bad to
force our packets and steamers to I'M
load their freight on lighters at great
risk and expense.
With deep water, without dredging,
almost alongside the rocks at Waia-
kea, it ought not to be very expensive
to build wharf. The money can be
found to dredge the entrance to the
little 10X12 pond called harbor at
Honolulu, and then why can We not
get some for wharf at Hilo? But we
suppose it will all come in the "sweet
mahOpe."
All through the month of October
we have had rainy weather, but it
eliminated in a deluge on Thursday
night and Friday up to Saturday
morning. In As hours, II inches of
rain fell. Our streets have been
washed out, and will cost considerable
to repair. The bridges in the country
have suffered and one, the Kaiui, was
carried away. The country roads are
impossible. Last Friday the Honolii
stream was impossible for hours. We
have not yet heard the full extent of
damage done, but it will count up
into the tens of thousands of dollars.
The ladies' fair held Saturday noon
at the church parlors was well at
tended, and about $500 was turned in
to the society as the results.
On Saturday evening at Judge and
Mrs. Hitchcock's a lively company
assembled, to welcome our townsmaD
Richards and his lovely bride to Hilo.
Although the weather was unpropi-
tious without, within all went "merry
as marriage bell" Long life and
happiness is the wish for the newly
married couple.

Unnecessary SUFFERING.

There is little doubt but that many per
sons suffer for years with ailments that
could easily be cured by the use of some
simple remedy. The following incident is
an illustration of this fact: My wife was
troubled with pain in her side the greater
part of the time for three years, until cured
by Chamberlain's Pain Balm. 1t has,
think, permanently cured her. We also have
used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy when
ever needed and believe it to be the best In
the world. 2. NJ. Boston. Pennville, Sullivan

Pompeii OF England.

A British Pompeii has Just been dis

II is true city not mere camp. aud
when fully excavated will throw light
upon the domestic life of our remote
ancestors of more than one thousand
years ago. The city now being laid
bare is the Brito-Roman Siichester.
The whole area has been free from all
building operations ever since the
Roman occupation Of Britain. in fact
the soil is virgin, having been pasture
land for centuries. Tie excavation
committee has already succeeded in
revealing 10 the nineteenth century
eyes life in British city that had a

cavation is a tremendous one, but the

few days which viii present features
of extraordinary interest. On the
walls will be hing a huge plan of the
buried city. marking whereabouts the
streets walls, gates. houses baths
temples, forum and basiiica stood. The
excavations have brought TO view the
remains of an important house orna-
mented with mosaic floors and con-
tanning rooms heated by hopoeausto.
Among the articles to be exhibited are

sight of piece of tile upon which a

of the little toes are distinct, and the

of human bones, skeletons of imma-

note a key ring and safety pin, with
other toilet and table requisites. much
resembling those in present use. There

How Mail Cars are Manned.

Nearly every railroad ia the United
States carries, at least once day, one
or more men whose business il is to
receive. sort. and deliver the mail
gathered at the towns along or near
that road.
II there is little work TO be done. one
man does il alone. in small room
built in part of the baggage-car
or smoking-car. As the business in
creases, two or more men work to-
gether, having whole car for their
accommodation. This car is drawn
directly behind the engine. so that
there shall be no occasion for anv pass
ing through il. With still more busi-
ness, between the large cities. two or
more cars are run; until between New
York and Chicago we have whole
train run exclusively for mail service,
made up of five cars aud worked by
twenty men. A line of railroad be-
tween two cities, used in this way. for
sorting the mail. is called 'R. z. o."
{. e.. Railway Post-Office," and there
is an immense number of such in the
country, taking their names from the
chief offices on the liue.
Such are the Boston and Albany"
Boston. Springfield. and New York :"
Portland and Island Pond. Chicago
and Cedar Rapids. and many hundred
others. The runs vary greatly in
length, ranging from twenty miles to
as high as thousand miles. The ex-
tremely long runs. with the exception
of the New York and Chicago" are
found only in the West, where there
are great distances between the cities.
On such run there will be two or
more men, one crew sleeping while
the other works. The New York
and Chicago" is divided into three Sec
tions. On this run, the twenty men
who start out from New York are re-
lieved by as many more at Syracuse.
and these in turn are relieved at Cleve-
land by another company who take
the train into Chicago. As general
thing. however, a run is planned to be
about the distance which can be COW
cred in day.
On all the more important lines there
are two sets of men, one for day, one
for night service. If the run is n short
one with but little mail, one man does
the work alone, running every day,
and usually having several hours to
rest ut one end of the road or the
other. Where the run is long enough,
so that the trip takes all day. there
will be four sets of men. One man,
or set of men. starts at one end of the
run, and covers the entire line, meet
ing the other somewhere on the route,
and returning the next day. When
these men have worked n week, they
go home to rest week, and others
take their place. Such is the arduous
nature of the work. the strain to mind
and body. aud particularly TO eyesight.
from working all day long in the con-
stant jar aud rattle, that few men
would be able to retain place were it
not for these periods of rest.-Max

The Winter of at i'm Ireland.

As winter advanced the distress
grew deeper and fiercer. 1t was a
/ hard winter, cold rains and SHOWS
alternating. To famine and fever was
added cold. Hundreds of cabins in
County Cork had nothing on their
earth floors save few rotten bundles
of straw-not blanket. mot a stick
of furniture. Neither could the peo-
pie afford in many cases even the
cheap peat fires. The men tramped
barefoot through the snow to the re-
lief works. Their rags hardly covered
their bones. 1t was the eommonest
thing in the world for men to be
''struck with the coldn and die in a
day or two.
All over the country men and women
could be seen "redigging the potato
grounds. in hopes of finding some few
remaining" They were bending over
the fields which the sheep had desert

lies were known to have lived for

five had nothing for them all to eat

On certain days of the week clerk
from one of the Palmerston banks

from Palmerston to Otaki, transacting
the ordinary business of the bank en-

with teller's usual precautions against
danger of robbery. he makes the car
riage his headquarters and there re-
ceives visits from customers at the way

deposits as occasion may require. This
plan is said to bring a good share of
grist to the banks mill, and proves a
great convenience to settlers, who are
saved all the trouble of journeying to
towns to relieve themselves of surplus
money or procure change. This will
probably continue until some bold
