perhaps, falls upon the person who is
to wear the contrivance. In very
many cases it is difficult to learn to
use it. According to all accounts peo-
pie have more trouble learning to use
an artificial arm or hand than they do

A New YORK dispatch of the
22d, ult., gives an interview with
Ex-Governor Cleghorn Of this city.
1t has what is his first public utter
ance on Hawaiian affairs since the
90 overthrow. Mr.. Clegho-n says
that we have here military despot-
ism, that business is at standstill,
that no one feels secure, that the
present condition of affairs cannot
long continue, that the people
would vote four to one for restor-
alton, that the royal party would
prefer annexation to the United
States to the ruling regime. All
these things have been said many
times before. Politicians in all
lands talk Just that way. 1t is as
easy to say that the Government
has no flavor of military or other
despotism, that business has been
as good if not better than ever, that
the people feel entirely secure, that
the Republic can continue in
definitely, that all affirmative vote
for restoration would be small in
deed, and that the so-called royal
ist party will not endorse annexa-
ton. IT is as easy to say these
things as to set out the propositions
that Mr.. Cleghorn advances.
Further they are statements much
nearer the mark than those quoted
from New York. Really, they are
about the facts.

Mr.. Hilborn would ever be con-

but a pleasantly. AS to the gentle

1t is perhaps worth noticing that a new

Every few days the newspapers contain
accounts of how some woman's purse has
been snatched from her hand, the thief
generally managing to escape capture.
These daylight street robberies are not
generally productive of much profit; other
wise they would doubtless be of much
more frequent occurrence, for AS general

prevented from Allling for assistance until
the thief is beyond successful pursuit.
The problem as to what lady shall do
with her purse has never yet been solved,
and so, while waiting for the solution,
as she has been waiting many hundreds Of
years, she Is still holding the purse In her
hand. 1t must be "a tiresome thing and

question if these men going to
the scaffold without showing
signs of fear are in a complete
or normal condition of con-
seriousness. They must reach
some sort of physical and men
tai stage that the doctors fail
to write about. When it comes
right to the threshold death is
not much of an affair after all,
but the class who are con-
demned to execution does not
include many men capable OF
entertaining this calm view of
existence. Then it is clear that
the sensebilities of these crimi-
nails are largely suspended.
Even Charles Miller, the "boy
murderer" event bravely to
his death at the age of l6.
When IS he had killed two
young men. Miller had an
almost mature mind, but that
it was anything like normal as
he walked to his fate with
out wavering, is absurd to
suppose. Of two other cases
that came under the observa-
ton of the writer the central
figures were full grown men.
They walked to the scaffold
coolly, Snow was falling when
one of them looked around for
the last time. He smiled and
cheerfully babe goodbye to a
number of acquaintance. This
was in a small western town.
After the man was dead they
laid him out on a bench in the
jail corridor. The sports of the
town filed past this bier and
touched the hands "for luck.
His hands were pulled and blue
and so was his face and there
was a red streak around his
neck.
In spite of the cholera scare
and the consequent business
depression, (which by the way
we consider all nonsense, we
should not be alarmed at this
little outbreak, but brace up,
we sold a bicycle on Saturday
and have had a number of calls
and inquiries for our Monarch
and Tribune wheels. Riding
in the open air on a wheel is
an invigorating and healthful
exercise, and a great preventa-
tive of diseases. Our wheels
have taken a firm hold upon
the people of the islands, and
it is the popular and common
thing to ask a man on a wheel
as this a Monarch or Tribune,
don't you like them, are they
not the best wheels 2" This
popularity must mean that
these bicycles are superior in
quality and price to other
makes and hence people talk
about what they know to be
the best.
The Honolulu Fire Depart
ment has been furnished with
the celebrated ball nozzle to
fight fires, and the chief of the
department speaks very highly
of it. The spray from these
nozzles is uniform in all direc-
tions and distributes the water
evenly, and when used at a fire
they make such a spread of
moisture as to leave no place
for combustion. When used
as lawn sprinklers their supe-
riority is at once noticed, as
the grass is wetted so evenly
as to make the use of the ball
nozzle the nearest approach to
rain that has yet been invent
ed. We have a number on
hand and so that all may have
an opportunity to own one we
are going to sell them at $3.50
for Japanned and $500 for
nickle plated.
