Gown totara and other trees, which thcy
dragged together to the source of tho
klver Tohinga (baptisln). They bound
the timber together with vines of the
Plrita and ropes and made IL very wide
RAFT. Then they made lamentations,
and built house on the raft and put
much food into it-fcrn root, llumar
(swcct potnto) and dogs. Next they re-
peatcd their incautaticns, and prayed

power of Tame. and prove the truth of
ms existence, and the necessity of the
ceremonies Of worship for life and for
peace, and to avert evil and death
Then these teachcrs-with Tu-iRctc, n
female named Wnlpuna-Nau, and other
womcr-got on the raft. Thu, who was
the priest on the raft, prayed that the
RAIN might descend in great torrents,
and when it had SO raincd for four or
tive days and nights he repeated his in
carnations that it might cease, and it
ceased The raft was lifted by the wa
tcrS and fioatcd down the River Tohin-
ga. All men and women and children
were drowned of those who denied the
truth OF the doctrines preached by
Tame. The legend then gives n detailed
account of the wandcrings of the raft,
and the doings and adventures of its oc-
cupants. Once they saw goddcsscs
wandering on the face of the ocean.
These came to make commotion in
the sea, that the raft might be dc
stroycd and those on it might perish.
The sea was boiSterouS but the raft
and its occupants were not over

we shall land on the earth" In the
eighth month the rolling motion of the
raft had changed; it now pitched up and
down and rolled. Thu then said that
the signs of his staff indicated that the
sea was becoming less deep, and he de-
clarcd that that was the month in
which they would land on dry earth.
They did land at Hawaili-thc place

their traditions, migrated to New Zca-

FOR A PARADE.

The permanent committee of the De-
cennial Anniversary Celebration decided
overwhelmingly last night that it pro-
TERED trades display on June is to an
exposition at later date, though the
exposition idea was warmly favored for
this fall.
1t was generally thought that the
committee would be unable to handle
an exposition successfully on such
short notice. On that point THE TINES
has more confidence in the ability of
the permanent committee than the
committee has in itself. But since the
committee would have the work to do
we cheerfully concede it the right to
determine what it is willing to do, so
let it DO parade.
A parade costs money and doesn't
bring any back worth mentioning, but
it is pleasant affair and can be made a
notable one. Whatever is to be done
ought to be done right.
But the exposition idea is not abaIl-
doned. The very success of the parade
will whet the ambitions of it's promoters
for greater things. TIL. TIMES would
like to get general expression of opin-
ion on this matter of the exposition.

LIFE ON A BUCCANEER.
Tho Rules and Regulations Which TIL
Pirntc Had to Obey.

mo lsuics and Regulations Which th
Pirntc Had to Obey.
The customs and regulations most
commonly observed on board buc-
cancer arc worth noting, says the Ma
tional Review. Every pirate captain
doubtless has his own set of rules; but
there were certain traditional articles
that seem to have been generally
adopted. The captain had state cabin,
q double vote in elections, double share
of booty. On some vessels it was the
captain who decided what direction to
sail in, but this and other matters of
moment were often settled by vote OF
the company, the captains vote count
ing for two. The officers had a share
and half or 4 share and quarter OF
the piunder and the sailors each one
share. booty was divided with scrupu-
lous care and NARROWING was the penal
ty of attempting to dcfraud the general
company, if only to the amount of Il
gold piece or dollar. Every man had
n full vote in any affair OF Importance.
Arms were always to be clean and ct
for service and dcsertion of the ship or
quarters il battle was punished with
death. On Roberts ship man who
was crippled in battle received eight
hundred dollars out of the common
stock and proportionate sum was
awarded for lesser hurts. Lowthcr al
lowed one hundred and fifty pounds
| sterling for tho loss of limb and other
| captains instituted sort of tariff Of
! wounds that extended to cars, fingers
and toes.
In chase or battle the captains power
was absolute. He who first spicd n sail.
if she proved to be Il prize, was entitled
to the best pair Of pistols on board her
over and above his dividend. These
| pistols were greatly coveted, and a pair
would sell for us much as thirty pounds
sterling from one pirate to another.
In their own commonwealth the pi-
rates were reported to have been severe
upon the point of honor, and among
Roberts crew it was the practice to slit
the cars or nose of any sailor found
| guilty of robbing his fellow.
Such feeble interest rs now attaches
to what was once the formidable fame
of the pirates is not even esthctic; it is
merely comic. No imaginative cssayist
discusses piracy rs u fine art but Paul
Jones is rcsurrcctcd as the hero of a
musical bnrlcsque. Poor Paul! And he
is almost the only one of the whole buc-
canccring race whose story discovers q
trace of the legendary gallantry of pi-
racy. Paul, whose father had been
head gardener to Lord Scllsirlk, plum,
dcrcd the Scllxirli mansion of it's plate,
which he subsequently returned in n
parcel to Lady Scl..irk with n letter OF
| polite apology.

FOR AN EXPOSITION.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: Your
editorial of the Goth is a splendid sue-
gestol, and, il taken up at once by the

far in securing your prophecy of 100, 900

has been done as an illustration of what
Roanoke can do now

Southern Trunk line railroad represen.
tatives, assembled at Atlanta, voted to
mako display of the natural resources
of their respective territories at tho
Cotton Exposition that was to open Octo.
Der in that city. They had but a
week more than two months in which
to make ready. Mines had to be opened.
trees had TO be felled in the forests and
multitude of things had to be ga thered
oil tho lines of transporta ton, put into
shape and carried to Atlanta. What
they accomplished is historical. The
great development of Southwest Vir-
ginia we see to-day is due primarily to
the light cast upon the States wondrous
resources by that exposition. Roanoke
knows where to put her hand upon
everything to bo exhibited, and has
transportation available to bring il to

which you refer are towns corpora tions.
