the vices of civilization are shown by
their practical results to be more de-
structiye than the vices OF heathenism.
Ii is most remarkable fact that IN
every country and among all savage peo-
pie sweeping pestilence in some form or
other has always ensued upon the hrst
intercourse of foreigners with the abo-
riginal races. 1t is as true OF Indians as
Of Hawaiians. In some instances small
rov is known TO have been purposely in
troduced among them in clothing sent
to them. The white man has strangely
mocked them. He has taught them all
vices. He has taught them how to
distIl spirits from various indl-
genous roots, he has taught them
war. The story Of the outrages COM
mitted against q declining race would
fill volume. But enough TO say that
such names as French La Place, Eng
Ii h Paulet, and Fromelin dc In Belle Re
publique, along with such Yankee In
trlQuers and buccaneers as Walter Murry
Gibson, who through Kalakaua
mortgaged tho islands for a nil
lion and spent the money on the
pleasures OF riotous living till the
inhabitants, becoming at last IN
furiated, rose up and compelled him
TO fly for his lifo-lll such names, with
hundreds OF others that might be men
toned, will 60 down in infamy. 1t IS the
old story. Hawaii has been the foot
ball of nations, now tossed on the toe OF
one, now Of another. Her long line OF
seyenty-three kings seems at last run
ming ont. There are only twelve
French on the island and but a
few English. Americans predoml-
nate. American interests are in mar
ket there far above all others. In the
process OF evolution the more power
ful type will absorb the weaker, and as
history records. without break. The
redeeming feature OF it all is that when
missionaries came to these Sandwich
Isles (named after Lord Sandwich) from
America they found that already the ma
tives had stopped cannibalism, had
thrown away their idols, and ever
since Van Couver came to these islands,

killed aud ate, and taught the chiefs the

The February No. Of lie Iabdc, Q
French tobacco journal published In
Paris, which appeared on the 9th OF this
month, has the following comment on
the great fire which recently destroyed
the factory of Messrs. Allen & Ginter:
ave learn with profound surprise
that the large and well-known cigarette
and tobacco factory of Messrs. Allen &
Ginter, in Richmond. became the prey
of flames on the night OF January 18th.
"The sight was Q grand and terrible
one. The cold being intense the water
froze as it came from the hose and
paralyzed the efforts OF the tiremen,
who were aided by large portion OF tho
population.
1.-The calamity has caused desolation
among a large portion OF the working
class employed in the factory, but the
proprietors OF the establishment. who
are known for their philanthropy,
though sustaining great loss, have gone
actively to work building temporary
quarters in order TO establish their fac
tory after short delay"

7. w. RIaGlNs, ESQ:
Proprietor Waco Trading Company,
Waco, Texas.
DEAR SIR:-I have carefully read
the competitive articles handed me
by YOU. and it is my opinion that the
one numbered II is entitled to the
prize offered you for the best article
descriptive of the Waco Trading
Company's store. There were several
other articles of merit-perhaps equal
in most respects to the one to which l
awarded the prize-but they did not
measure up so nearly to the rules OF
the contest which required descrip-
ton of the store. Notable among
these were number II, an acrostlc,
and number 8, which was in the char
acter of letter written by visitor in
Waco to an absent friend. Had the
writer's of these two articles dealt
more closely with the store itself the
issue would have been in doubt.
Very truly,
GEO. BYRNE.
Following is the article to which
the prize was awarded as explained
above. 1t is from the pen Of Mrs.
h. a. Hill, and its merit is there to
speak for itself:
