A Feminine Casabianca.

The workmen Of a new line of electric
lights in a western city began to dig q
posthole in front of Dutchman's dwell
ing, when the master of the house came
out and forbade them to continue the work.
After a good deal of wrangling the men
announced that they could not waste their
time in talking, and prepared to set tc
work. Thereupon the Dutchman called
his wife, and with dexterous and unex-
pected movement succeeded in fiinging
over the hole the men were digging large,
fat slate, upon which he established the
lady.
"Now, Gretchen, }" he said, 'dat ish where
you shtands till comes back NIT elm en-
JUNCTION"
With many charges to his wife not Il
stir from that slate until his return, he de-
parted to get the injunction which should
force the workmen to cease their labors
and the stolid Dutch frau stood like a
statue of immobility, her hands on her
hips and defiance painted upon her face.
No sooner had the husband disappeared
than the leader of the gang directed his
men to take the slate with the frau ON il
and lift it from its place. 1t was pretty
severe tug, but it was accomplished, and
with perfect politeness the corpulent lady
was set to one side as If she had been fat
teapot on salver.
The work of digging then went merrily
forward, and while the Dutch wife held to
the letter of her husbands orders with ST.
lent fidelity the men set up the tall pole
1t was well in it's place when the house
holder was seen returning in breathless
haste, waving in his hand the coveted in.
junction.
When he came painting up and saw what
had been done, he was overcome first with
establishment and then with wrath.
IVY vas you not stood on dat holef" he
demanded of his wife.
ut vas on dis stone dat you vas puts
me-" she answered.
He looked at her in helpless indignation
a moment and then cried:

The Night-Biooming Cereus.

Manager Morton, of Evergreen
Lodge, had something like 200 guests
last night to see his Night Blooming
Cereus, and he entertained them In
excellent style. The flower was
placed on the green lawn under the
stately trees, that are so generally
admired, aud the soft light from Jap
anese lanterns brought out a scene
of surprising loneliness. Seven OF
these flowers bloomed last evening,
and hanging there in clusters Of white
presented a beautiful appearance.
Seats were prepared for the guests,
who were most agreeably entertained
by strains of music, furnished by a
string band. All were made to feel
at home, and one and all admired the
beautiful flowers.

Picturesque Hawaii.

The scenery of windward Hawaii is
/ charming and picturesque in the extreme.
Three huge volcanic observation-disclosures
Loa, Mauna Kea and Hualalai-rear their
snowcapped domes against the sky to the
height of 1900 feet, forming triangle
toward the center of the island. their
slopes clothed with dense forests of richest
tropical growth, and grassy plains which
trend gradually away to the blue Pacific.
They are scanned with numberless ravines
or "gulches," not to call them canyons"
and down each river flows to the sea,
varying in width from 100 to 1900 feet.
Many are nearly mile wide The waters
of some, small and quiet glide peacefully
between meadowy banks to their final des-
tination.
Others. fierce, impetuous mountain tor
rents, hemmed in by high, precipitous
rocks, dash headloug over bowlder and
precipice till they lose themselves in the
dippling ocean. Nearly all are liable to
sudden and tremendous freshets. Cas-
cades and waterfalls leap from the hills in
all directions, and everywhere trees and
rocks are covered with exquisite ferns and
trailing parasites of all shades and kinds
The "gulches" widen out at their extrem-
tiles and the sea sweeps into them with
drowsy, booming music. Many journey
taken is but continuous series of descents
and ascents across these "gulches."
Thus on the road between Hilo and Lau-
pahaehae no fewer than sixty-five streams
must be crossed in distance of thirty
miles Having ridden for a few hundred
yards along lofty upland, the brink of a
stupendoss precipice is suddenly reached,
n murmur of water ascends from the
depths below, and in front is the equally
perpendicular precipice on the other side
of the tiny valley. A bird would skim
across in few seconds; poor wingless man
has to trust to the unshod, surefooted
beast under him to scramble up and down
the narrow, scarcely winding tracks cut
out on the faces of the mountains -Asiatic
Quarterly.

FURTHER PARTICULARS
Of the Assassination of Louis
B. McWhirter.
The Tragedy Possibly the Result Of q
Political Feud-It Was Deliber-
ately Planned.

The American this morning has
the following particulars of the as
sassinatiCn OF Louis B. McWhirter at
Fresno, Co..:
"All the circumstances point to a
deliberately planned assassination.
as every detail of the dastardly enter
prise was arranged with the greatest
circumspection.
"Only one shot struck him, and
that one went through his heart.
With single cry of OH he. fell to
the ground and died without speak
ing. His wife reached him just as he
was breathing his last. 81 he MUIR
derers made good their escape.
"No one was in the house at the
time except Mrs. McWhirter, her
infant son and Swedish servant
girl. Mrs. McWhirter's screams
aroused the neighborho 0 aad a
crowd assembled in a brief period.
The town was horror stricken by this
bold assassination, and in a few
hours prominent men raised $4,000
and offered it as reward for the de-
lection and punishment of the assas-
sins. Although the assassins are un-
known it is generally understood that
the murder was the outcome of a po-
liticai feud.
"Mr. McWhirter came here sew
eral years ago from Nashville, Tenn,
and became very active in local
Democratic politics. He was very
fearless and outspoken, and In conse-
quence gained the bitter enmity of a
faction of his own party. He went
about In constant apprehension of
being assailed. and the day before he
was killed told some friends conf
dentially that he expected 10 be as
sassinated. He said that the knowl-
edge that his enemies were bound to
have his life had caused him to in
sure his life for large sum. He had
paid up policies to the amount Of
$6O,O0O."

THEY RETURN THANKS.
To the Kind Ladies' and Citizens Gener-
ally.


GOAL CREEK, Aug. 28.-The men,
bers of Company FL desire to express
their heartfelt thanks for the kind re-
membranes of the folks at home.
| We feel that we are not worthy of
all the solicitude and consideration
bestowed upon us. While we, an
swered the call of the Governor, to
aid in suppressing riot and disorder,
we have not thus far been placed in
great peril Of our lives, and the vic
tory the State Guard has achieved
has been at the cost of very little
blood, ON the part of the militia at
least, Company Ell not being with the
detachment. engaged in the fight,
and therefore suffering no loss of life,
though our boys were ready and will
ing 10 60 whenever duty called them.
| Camp life at best is hard one, but
when the soldier is only half fed,
without tents or quarters, and poorly
equipped for campaign, camp life
then becomes sore trial hardship,
and more especially SO to boys who
have just left homes where they were
compelled to endure no haidships
whatever. You can then we'll i'm
agine with what sensation we receiv.
ed the good things from kind
friends at home. We thought the
surprises would never cease. After
taking out ham after ham, nice fire sh
bread and biscuit, canned goods and
fruits, we found that there were great
cakes, bottles of pickles, and every
thing to make the hungry man glad.
Then one thoughtful lady (of the
firm Of III. & NJ sent us towels and
cakes of soap, most timely gift, and
after we had scanned with eager eyes
the numerous gifts, we found last,
bat not least, box of tube-roses bou-
tonaires, one for each member of the
company, as fresh and fragrant as
when they were started, present
from Miss Mary Caldwell. The to-
bacco will last us till we leave, ard
the ''snake bite" medicine should do
so, but won't. We hope to be with
you ere many days, when we can
thank you better in person. G. S.

about forty-fve yards from the

under way and cruised about for
three hours, the water in the mean
time flowing freely above holes

which dilated upon contact with
the water, gave results apparently

parrot, which has probably strayed
from its owner, has been seen among
the trees of Kewalo Grove, on King
street, occasionally coming near
the cottages and singing his Choir
uses. He refuses to come down from
the trees and partake of crackers
and cake, though perhaps his mis-
tress might persuade him to come
and eat some choice cake from her
hand, if offered and called in q
familiar voice. polly, however,
is perfectly happy and safe against
arrest by the native bird-catchers

present prefers the freedom of the

Heavy Loss on its Owner.
Yesterday, about noontime, an
alarm was rung in for a fire on the
premises of Nick" Peterson,
hickman. on Beretania, near Kee-
aumoku street. The alarm was
given by some prisoners who were
working in the vicinity and saw
flames issuing from a barn in
which Mr.. Peterson stabbed his
horses. e.,
The chemical engine responded
promptly, but was of little use as
the flames had gained such rapid
Roadway in the meantime.
Two horses were in the barn,
and although efforts were made to
save the animals, they were burned
to death.
Peterson places his loss at about

the fire was the work of an lncen
