A Novel Idea.

The following story comes from New
Martinsyille:
The inhabitants of this little city have
found out q new, and. indeed, novel
way of Kidding the town Of rats, to
which the following facts will testify:
Last Tuesday night Mr.. Nelson Mar
tin, one Of our citizens who lives in the
suburbs of town, left an iron post dig
ger and q rake in his back yard. On
arising the next morning he was sur
prlsed to find two large rats, one stick
ing fast to the post digger and the other
to the rake, and on examination found
that the tongues OF the rats were frozen
to the iron and that the rats, unable to
break themselves away from their po-
sitlons, had frozen to death. What
ever induced the rats to put their
tongues to the post digger and the rake
no one, at present, is able to tell.

ANOTHER BIG CASE.

An interesting suit has been filed
in the Circuit Court. Skinner &
Co. are the plaintiffs and they claim
fifty thousand dollars of G. w.
Macfarlane & Co., garnisheeing
Claus Spreckels as the holder of
certain stocks belonging to the de-
fendant firm. Hawaiian law re-
quires that transfers of stock to be
valid against third parties must be
recorded in the books Of the cor
poration, which must show "the
date of the transfer, the parties
thereto, their places of abode, and
the number and description of the
shares transferred" In this case the
mortgage on the stock was original
ly to Bishop & Co. and afterward
assigned to Mr.. Bishop personally.
The original transfer was recorded
on the books of the corporation,
but it is alleged that the "places of
abode" of the parties was not spec
ified as required by law. The other
transfers from Bishop & Co. to Mr..
Bishop, and finally from Mr.. Bish-
op to Claus Spreckels, it is said
were not recorded on the books of
the company at all. If these ale
cations are true they will raise
some interesting points of law, as
they will involve the question how
far any of the transfers were valid.
The case will presumably be heard
at the May Term of the Circuit
Court.
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-03-21

san, that the missionaries are sell
ing the independence of this coun-
try in order to build up trade in
guava jelly. To avert a like fate
from overtaking the jelly tumblers
of Antananarivo, they will immedi-
ately expel all the missionaries
from their borders.
It is not to be disputed that the
Bishop has scored a good point in
alluding to this threatening atti-
tude of the Antananarivorians, and
if it had been properly placed be-
fore the public before, everything
might have been different. Com
mon prudence would have dictated
the sending of an embassy, at the
very least, to the watchful inhab-
itants of this important city before
proceeding with our little reVolu-
ton. However, there is no use in
crying over spilled milk. The
mischief is done now and it is vex-
atious to have its evil consequences
alluded to. We are provoked into
suggesting that after all it is not
so much the revolution that will
do the mischief, as the Diocesan
Magazine itself, which by its atti-
tude lends color to the preposter-
Gus falsehood that the Hawaiian
revolution is the work of Christian
missionaries. Fortunately the in
habitants of Antananarivo are not
likely ever to hear of the Diocesan
Magazine.

THE HAWAIIAN PATRIOTIC LEAGUE,

The Hawaiian Patriotic League
held its first meeting last week
It was tame in the extreme. Very
few people were present, and those
who were seem to have been alto
gether apathetic. The tone of the
speakers, it should be noted to their
credit, was calm and moderate
throughout. This may be ascribed
perhaps to the absence, with soli-
tary exception, of the poor white
trash which usually does so much
to feed the flame of native elo-
quence. We publish a full report
of the speeches in another column,
so that our readers may form an
Independent opinion as to their
quality.

Kalakaua, and general revival OF
superstition was the result.
We publish this morning some
facts in regard to the superstitious
practices in the family of J. w.
Alapai, one of the deacons Of the
Kaumakapili Church. The state
ments may be relied upon as strict
ly authentic. They are derived
from intelligent and expert Ha-
waiians, at first hand, and are not
hearsay, but based upon the testi-
mony of those who were eye wit
nesses of the facts. We shall be
able before long to furnish our
readers with some further informa-
ton on this topic.
1t is interesting to note that the
belief and practice of heathen-
ism seem to the average ma
tive in no way inconsistent
with an acceptance of Christianity.
The two religious systems subsist
side by side in the Hawaiian mind.
This cosmopolitanisn in religion is
not. peculiar to Hawaiians. The
ancient Romans were eclectics in
religious matters. Many of the
early Christian Fathers did not
deny the being of the Greek gods,
but were content to discrown them
and give them the inferior rank of
malignant spirits and devils. In
like manner Christianity, when it
took possession of Central and
Northern Europe, did not succeed
in extinguishing the religious be-
liefs of our German forefathers.
The old mythology lived on and
furnished the root of superstitions
which have maintained themselves
to the present day.
