HISTORICAL POSTER.
The Proclamation OF Rear Ad-
IuiraI dc IFoueIln, Dated
December, 1873.

While calling at the foreign office
Yesterday afternoon, a reporter oil
the ADVERTISER saw an old yellow
ume-worn paper lying on Secretary
Potter's desk. Inquiry disclosed il
TO be an interesting historical doc
ument, being no less than a copy
OF the proclamation posted by Rear
Admiral do Tromelin, in Honolulu,
in the year 1S49.
The poster was found about a
week ago while oyerhauling some
old records IN the foreign office,
and is, perhaps the only remain
ing copy in existence, The poster
is 2lx174 inches in size and is
printed in large type in the English
language. In one corner on the
back is endorsed the following
words, still legible but greatly faded,
the paper Ia some places being
eaten away by the action of the
ink.

An ostraculturist at Claypit creek,
y. j.. says that the creek oysters are
not surpa ssed anywhere In this he Is
confirmed by noted epicures, who have
tasted the oyster along the whole east
ern coast. The Shrewsbury oysters
have had the call in the New ! Crk mar
kets for several years and it might
seem strange that the creek, being only
a sort of estuary OF the Shrewsbury,
should produce better oysters than
those grown in that river; but such is
the fact The fresh waters coming
from the springs and surface OF the
wooded Mills. near its source, have an
effect that imparts fa1Ress and pc
cuEar delicious favor not TO be found
elsewhere. The oysters open their
valves aud drink from the incoming
food tide, and their principal enemy
here IS the hard crab, that watching
its chance, inserts a claw ia the opened

It has been recently stated by an en-
gireer in an address to college students
that the pecuniary reward OF engineer
ing practice is much less than that Of
other professions where equal ability is
called into play.
Physicians and lawyers. as rule,
the speaker said, are in receipt OF much
larger annual income than their fellow
scientist, the predicting engineer.
This may be true when marked excep-
tons are considered, but tho industrial
opportunities OF the mining, civil, and
mechanical engineer must not be over
looked. nor should the possibility Of
profitab bic inventions be undervaIued.
Either may make the professional en-
gineer's fortune, while the lawyer or
doctor has no such opportunity.
Neither IS brought into such close con-
nection with the actual affairs OF bust

THE HABIT OF TEASING.

Et Is Fault That should Not Ee Al
lowed to Grow. Even in the Little Ones.
There are few habits which should
be more carefully looked after among
youngsters than that of teasing and
worrying either plavmates or the elder
mem bers of the family. At the outset
and in the mildest form. it may be to a
certain extent entertaining and anus
ing to the little one, but after a time it
grows almost intolerable, asd If al
lowed to strengthen with the growth
of the child, it develops into a habit
Shan which nothing is more annoying
and exasperating.
There are persons in good society
who are simply tolerated because there
seems no legitimate way in which to
get rid of them. They are the terror
of their entire acquaintance, for one
never knows what they are to do next
An accident, a misfortune. a trifing in
discretion or some uncomfortH BILE event
or other furnishes them pretext, and
there is no living with them once they
get started. The most private and con-
fidential affairs are not safe with them
once their propensity becomes aroused.
They seem to have neither feeling nor
consideration for any body or anything.
SO they have their little joke.
A curious phase of this sort of per-
Torrance is that many Of these persons
are really llind-heartcd. and If it could
once be impressed upon their minds that
they seriously distressed and annoyed
their friends and made them unhappy,
they might possibly be induced to
fOreCo vexatieuS amusements; but no
one tells them now disagreeable they
make themselves, and, therefore, they

To show that one cares about such
things is often to furnish occasion for
further teasing; therefor, the victims
keep silence. Their only protection is
the avoidance of the society of such
people, and more shan one man and
woman have found themselves omitted
from entainments and left out of social
gatherings without being able to ac-
count for the fact-N. y. JeSypr
