THE MAN FISH.
A Successful Exhibition Given
at Remond Grove on Saturday.

About threes hundred people
journeyed to Remond Grove over
the Oahu Railway line on Satur-
day afternoon, to witness the exhi-
bition to be given by Captain
Beach, the man fish.
After the crowd was admitted
into the pavilion it did not take
long for the performance to COM
mence.
Captain Beach, attired in a
closely-ftting bathing suit, as
cended the platform and jumped
into an iron-bound glass tank
about six feet long, two feet wide
and seven feet high. 1t was nearly
filled with water.
Superintendent George Ashley
announced first that the man fish
would eat banana while under
water. This the captain did with
an evident relish. In quick sue
cession the swimmer smoked a
pipe, drank from bottle and wrote
on a slate, doing all this while at
the bottom Of the tank.
The last feat on the programme
announced that Beach would sleep
under water, with an Invitation to
the people in the audience to hold
their breath as long as the captain
remained at the bottom Of the tank.
This they could not accomplish, as
the man fish did not come to the
top until the expiration of a minute
and a half.
The audience seemed very we'll
pleased with the exhibition and
went away satisfied that there was
no illusion connected with the per-
formance.

The Latest Tailor's Goose Joke.

A hardware drummer is respon-
sibie for the story that a clerk in
one of our hardware houses was
informed that the last tailor's
goose was sold and to order a dozen
more. After puzzling over the
matter for some time he wrote on a
piece of paper as follows:
II tailor geese.
y tailor's geese.
IL tailor gooses.
II tailor goose
II tail
Then he got ratified, scratched
his head, locked in the dictionary,
and finally formulated the follow
ing:
Gents, please send at once one
tailor's goose and eleven others. y

Hunting che Iisrs In Ante- BsIium Days
"A Boy's Fun.
There do not seem 70 DO as many
mares rs there used to be- when was

branch bottoms used TO be full OF them.
They wore peculiarly our game;

rather scorned by the gentlemen. :"
by which Is meant the grown-uD
gentlemen. who shot cartridges over
tho pointers and only picked up hare
whom she got in their way; and the

were the hare hunters. They wero

however the harcs appeared to have II
way OF going into the negroes traps
rather than into ours and the former
caught many to our one.
Even now, after many years, l can
remember the delight OF tho frosty
mornings; the JOY with which we used
to peep through the little panes OF the
dormer windows mt the white frost
over the fields. which promised
stronger chances Of game being
caught; the cagerness with which. OBJ
livious OF the cold. we sped through

when we found tho door standing open

it tho morning befort; our keen de-
light when the door was down; the
dash for the trap; the scuifie to decide
which should look in first; the peep at

triumphant march home. holding up

Will not Submit.

The anti Hill democrats have issued
o manifesto to democratic electors OF
the state Of New York, embcdying a
protest against the action Of the state
central committee and serious reso-
buttons in which they say among other
things:
The democratic electors Of each
assembly district in this state are here
by requested to chose three delegates
and three alternates mt assembly dis
trict conventions, which shall be n
stitnted by primaries, held in no case
earlier than the first day OF May and on
NO Jess than five days public notice of
time and place OF holding the same, to
form q state convention to be held on
the 3lst day, of May ut Syracuse for the
purpose Of choosing seventy-two dele
gates and seventy-two alternates to
represent the democratic party OF this
state at the national convention TO be
held at Chicago on the Dist Of June.

The New Legislature.

The last two legislatures of the state
OF Michigan have attracted great
deal III unfavorable comment. Accord
ing to democratic testimony, that Of
1889 far surpassed all of It's prcdeccss-
ors in utter worthlessness. According
TO republican evidence, that of 1891
was even worse. The relative excell-
encc Of these two bodies will never be
satisfactorily determined and it is of no
importance that it should be. 1t is
sufficient that the attention Of the reo-
pie this year be called to the fact that
there has of late years been far too
much carelessness in the nomination OF
members OF the Legislature by both
parties. The republicans had 80 long
elected majority Of their nominees,
that they seemed to care little for the
quality OF them. Tho democrats had
% long seen a majority of their noMin-
ees defeated that they filed up their
tickets with the material most ready to
hand. 1t is not surprising then that the
democracy was caught last election with
. job lot Of insists on hand.
The era Of confidence on one side
and despair on the other has now passed
away. The democrats are inspired
with q hope, born of their gerrymander,
OF securing the next legislature and
hence may he expec,ed to exercise
more care than usual in making up
their Legislative tickets. The repub-
icans see struggle ahead to overcome
the odds OF the gerrymander against
them and they too may be expected TO
use good judgement in making legis.
latiye nominations. The next United
States senatorsliip from Michigan is the
prize 10 be contended for, and the
struggle will be notable one. Which,
ever way tho political balance may
turn, the result cannot fail to be a good
one for the Legislative department Of
the state. II ought to give Michigan q
stronger legislature than she has hid
for years. II such be the result the
Speople viii be gamers by the upheaval.-
