the difficulty would lie in securing sc,ing

any house With hall would answer the

cure large room, and by putting tenn
porary partition across one end OF il the
desired two rooms can be made.

notice of this matter, aud | believe il
should have further consideration. All
good citizens want an honest ballot, and
ny agitating the matter we will get one.

The New Orleans Picdyune saysthat
teacher in explaining to her pupils the
difference between civilized and unciyil-
lied races, insisted upon three things as
requisite for ivilization--food, clothing
and shelter
The next day she brought the subject
up again by way Of review.
"What are the three things necessary
to a civilized man Y" she asked.
Several Of the children remembered
food and clothing, but the third requisite
seemed to have escaped their recollec.
ton entirely. Finally after the question
had been repeated two or three times,
one little fellow lifted his hand, and
said:
"a wife"

The past year has brought varied eI-

crops and fair business prosperity, both
foreign and domestic, have come the criti-
cal incidents of domestic disturbance and
dangerous pestilence: from both of which
the country has been mercifully delivered
with small loss of life through the blessing
of Providence on the efforts of the govern
ment and It's citizens.
In view Of these things and other count

the Republic of Hawaii, recommend that
THURSDAY, the 18th DAY OF THIS

men who are Christians on Sunday
and sinners the rest of the week. l
want them to know that Jesus,
who saves men and makes them
God-like seven days in the week.
There are these men in Honolulu,
but they are not Christians"
These were uttered by Mr.. Vat
man during his sermon on Christ
at Y. NJ. c. a. Hall last night.
Unlike the evangelist's sermons on
other subjects, it was entirely free
from mirthful comparisons, he con-
fined himself throughout strictly to
the text. The speaker showed evil
dence OF careful research and pro-
found love of the subject. His de-
scription of the betrayal of Christ
by Judas and the crucifxion had
a tendency to impress his hearers.

was excellent. The services tomor-

At 10 a. m. at the Portuguese
church at IL o'clock at the Cen
