THE ATTACK ON CABRERA.
Napoieon's First Campaign Was a Dis
 ofItI

Napoleons First Campaign Was a Dis
 graceful Fla 70.
 The Corsican expedition was quite as illstarred as the French. Paoli ac- ccptel Buonapartc's plan, but ap- pointed Ccsari Colonna to lead. The disappointed but stubborn young as pirant remained in his subordinate place as an officer of the second battalion of the Corsican national guard. 1t was a month before French corvette and her attendant fcluccas could be made ready to sail. On February 20, l703, the vessels were finally manned, equipped and pro- visioned. The destination of the flotilla was the Magdalena islands, one of which is Caprera, since renowned as the home of Garibaldi. The troops embarked, and put to sea. Almost at once the wind fell; there was two days calm, and the ships reached their destination with diminished supplies and dispirited crews.
 e The first attack, made on St. Stephen, was successful Buonaparte and his guns were landed on that spot to bom- bard-across narrow strait-Magda- lena, the chief town on the main island. The enemy's fire was soon silenced, and nothing remained but for the cor vette to work slowly round the inter- vening island of Caprera, and take pos session. At that moment her were mutinied, and seized the vessel. Co., operation was no longer possible; the artillery and their commander were re- embarked only with the utmost diffl- culty; the unlucky expedition returned on February 27 to Bonifacio.
 It is significant of the utter anarchy then prevailing that nobody was pun ished for the disgraceful fasco. Buona- parte, on landing, at once bade fare well to his volunteers. When he en- tered Ajaccio, on March 3, he found that he was no longer, even by assump- tion, a lieutenant coloncl for during his short absence the whole Corsican guard had been dsbanded to make way for two battalions of light infan- try whose officers were to be appointed by the directory of the island.-Prof. Sloane, In Century.

OVER AND UNDER THE TABLE

How Rival Bad Men Exchanged Shots
 Tragic Fate Of Eacir.
 The man who told the story between the puffs of his cigar was from Texas: s'The tale of Clay kllison's life is one of the most somber romnnces one hears of about western camp fires. Clay Allison was a desperado. He lived in the Red River country, on the western marshes of the Llano Estacado. His trigger finger was busiest in the latter seventies. He had record of twenty one = twenty-one dead men. whose graves were scattered from Dodge City to Santa Fe. One of his most artistic murders was the killing of Bill Chunk, a long-haired, Gwashing, hectoring bravo and professional bad man. He, too, had a record-a record that was full of cowardly deeds and blood. He and Allison had no cause of quarrel. They were rival killers, that was all; and which one was quicker on the draw was pleasant matter of debate and wager on the part of their friends. So it came about very naturally that the two men swore to kill each other
 
 tie settlement in northern New Mex ieo. They sat down at the supper table of frontier restaurant opposite each other, and drew their siX-shooters and laid them across their knees Chunk ordered raw oysters. When the trenchcr had been set before him he dropped his hand to his lap as if to get a napkin and fired at Allison under the table The bullet failed of its mark. Quick'as lightning Allison's gun replied. A little red spot just be- tween Chunks eyes told where the bull let entered, and the dead man, swaying from side to side, bent gradually over and settled down upon the table and was still, with his face buried in that dish.
 Allison went to Kansas City once on cattle drive, and while there he met and loved a beautiful but fallen woman He married her and took her to his Texas ranch to live. She made him true and loyal wife. A child was born to thcm-a child whose face was as beautiful as it's mothers, but whose poor little body was horribly de- formed. Allison loved the babe with the love of his passionate nature, but to his superstitious mind the misbc gotten infant was curse from Go visited upon him for the wanto crimes of his dark career. And frorl the hour of that unhappy birth Allison became q new man. No more men fell before his uncrring pistols. He fore swore liquor and all the riot and licen- tiousness in which he had formerly in- dulged. He turned his great nervous energies to business. In few years he was rich. Tens of thousands of cat tie on the western ranges bore his brand. One morning, half a dozen years or so ago, he left his ranch in road dwagon and started for town. As he drove briskly along, the wagon wheel jolted into deep rut with a sud denness that threw Allison from his seat headlong to the ground. His neck was broken by the fall The horses jogged on into the distance unmindful of the period which fate had put at the end of that wild and stormy life."- Louisville Couricr-Journal.

TO THE MARSElLLAiSE.
The Mob in Paris That Drove King Louis
 from His Throne.

from His Throne.
 The days and weeks were full of in, cidents terrible and suggestive in their nature. The assembly dismissed the kings bodyguard on May %; on June 14 the Girondists were removed from the ministry; on the 17th more mod crate and conservative ca abinet was formed. Three days later the popular insurrection began, and on the 2Sth Lafayette endcavored to stay the tide which was now rising in the assembly. But it was as ruthless as that of the ocean, and on July II the country was declared in danger, There was, how ever, temporary check to the rush, moment of repose in which the king, on the 14th, celebrated among his peo- pie the fall of the Bastille.
 But an address from the local assem- bly at Marseilles had arrived, demand ing the dethronement of Louis and the abolition of the monarchy. Such was the impatience of that city that, with out waiting for the logical effect of their declaration, its inhabitants de, ternfined to make a demonstration in Paris. On the 30th deputation five hundred strong arrived before the cap ital. On August they entered the city singing the immortal song which bears their name, but which was writ ten at Strasburg by an officer of en- gineers, Rouget de Lisle. The south ern fire of the newcomers kindled again the flame of Parisian sedition, and the radicals famed it.
 At last on August 10, the confagra- grafton broke forth in such an uprising as had not yet been seen of all that was outcast and lawless in the great town; with them consorted the discontented and the envious, the giddy and the frivo- lous, the curious and the fickle, all the unstable elements of society. This time the king was unnerved; in de- spair he fed for asylum to the cham ber of the assembly. That body, un- sympathetic for him, but sensitive to the ragings of the mob without, found the fugitive unworthy of his office. Be- fore night the kingship was abolished, and the royal family were imprisoned in the temple.
 There is no proof that the young Corsican was at that time other than
 
 him as visiting his sister Elise at St. Cyr. She was soon to be stripped of her pretty uniform, the neat silk gown, the black gloves and the dainty bronze slippers which Mime. de Maintenon had prescribed for the noble damsels at that royal school. We hear also of his run ming to watch the ever more threaten- ing demonstrations of the rabble; of his being present when the mob re- coiled at the very door of the Tuilleries before the calm and dignified courage of the king. There is eNen story told as of the time, but doubtless invented later, of his openly expressing con tempt for riots. How could the king let the rascals in! He should have shot down few hundred, and the rest would have run. n."-Prof. Sloane, in Centurv

Honolulu, Dec. Ig, 1895.

He had been in the Hawaiian
Islands nearly a year. He ar
rived here in the latter part of
January, 1895, and his fortunes
had been between the cups" and
downs" This is the first
Christmas that he is to expert
rnce far from home, far from
MS friends and his relations.
The old picture Of the snow-clad
hills, the merry bells of the
sleigh, and the blaze of the
Christmas trees is inscribed on
his mind. He has made friends
lere in the ever sunny cline of
laval. His friends want him
to forget the longing for the
snowy country and the Christmas
Is he saw it, and they will offer
him their presents and Christ
mas gifts and try to make him
believe that he once more is
patronized by the King of the
North, Santa Claus.
To help in that noble purpose
we have imported the very
thing suitable for Christmas
presents. This year we have
made speciality of Aluminium
Ware, and we propose to present
to the public something never
seen here before. Aluminium
Toilet Sets are the rage and
fashion to-day in every part of
the civilized world. They are
made of pure Aluminium and
will not tarnish. The Alumi-
mum Ware looks like silver
and give as much pleasure to
the owner as do goods made of
sterling silver. We know of no
more appropriate Christmas
present than set of Combs and
Brushes in Aluminium. Or a
Card Receiver, a Mirror, Cigar
Stand, Ash Receiver, ETC., etc.
The price of these excellent
goods brings them within the
reach of everybody and to give
a truly useful Christmas present
has become easy to everyone.
While we have imported a
large invoice of Aluminium
Ware we have not neglected our
Silver Goods, Pitchers and Plates
Cocktail Shakers and Forks and
Kniv S. in the latest fashions
are special feature of our
Christmas exhibition. We have
all kinds of Plated Silverware of
the highest degree and finish,
and we invite the public to call
at our store and remember the
poor lonely fellows who, on
Christmas eve, will feel home
sick and lonely and deeply
grateful for the smallest token
signifying that they are not
forgotten, although far away
from home.

FRIDAY, DEC. 27, 1896.
THE JAPANESE QUESTION.

There is no doubt that the indus
tries pushed forward in Japan will
become a serious menace to the in
dustries Of America and Europe.
Radical measures must be taken II
the day is to be avoided when the
mechanics of the Western hemis-
phere must be crowded to the wall
by the thrifty Asiatics. The labor
question has heretofore had the
undivided attention OF the American
and Australian continents who
saw the danger in allowing unrt-
stricted Asiatic hordes of laborers
to enter their countries and start a
competition in the different fields of
labor in which the white man came
out at the small end every time.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-12-27

The planters in their selfish en-
deavor to fill the country with the
cheapest kind of labor have destroy
ed the middle class in Hawaii, which
is the backbone of every country.
How many white men are nowadays
engaged on our plantations except
in capacity Of managers, and once a
while as sugar boilers and engineers.
1t is Japanese lunas, Japanese car
penters and japanese laborers fist
and last, and there are many more
coming. But with them come the
Japanese products TO drive Ameri-
can goods out from our market, and
then a general cry begins. The cry
comes too late. The danger can
only be averted by heroic measures,
and those will not be adopted as
long as we have government with
Asiatic tendencies and inclinations.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-12-27

Now 1t is not alone question OF
immigrating Asiatics. The compe
tition in mechanical directions is
being seriously felt all over the
world. Here in Hawaii Japanese
competition is showing in all
branches of industry. Furniture
from Japan, japanese liquors, per
fumery, clothing, mineral waters.
ETC., are being flooded in Honolulu
to the injury of white importers,
who cannot compete against the
small prices and the small profit at
which the Japanese can place their
goods in the market.
The Independent. [volume] (Honolulu, H.I.) 1895-1905, 1895-12-27

The saki question has become
quite serious. The wine growers of
California have taken a strong stand
against Hawaii on account of the
enormous increase in the importa-
ton of Japanese wine to Hawaii
The Hawaiian Government, how
ever, does not seem to worry over
the threatened danger. Only few
weeks ago a liquor license was
granted to Chinese firm which was
allowed to open store at the very
next door to white liquor dealers
Since then the Government has
granted a Wholesale liquor license
to Japanese firm. If it is the in
tention Of Mr.. Dole and his col
leagues to drive the white man out
OF the country, they are certainly on
the right to gain their object. But
we should then be allowsd a rest
from the usual bosh of the Govern.
ment organ about encouraging white
settlers to come here. II the Gov
ernment really desired annexation
it would at once cease to patronize
Asiatics at the cost of the whites.
Over ten white men petitioned for
a liquor license and were refused.
A Chinaman and a Japanese we're
granted the licenses.
