HOW a BRIDE WAS WON.

Iabozehere. . Cierk-
In 1854 Mr.. Labouchere, q relative OF
the present member Of parliament OF
that name. was clerk In the banking
house of Hope. of Amsterdam
One day he was sent BY his parents
70 Mr.. Barring. the celebrated London
banker, to negotiate a loan
He cisplsyed in the affair 50 much
ability as 20 entirely win the esteem
and confidence Of the English banker.
Faith said Labouchere one day to
Barring. your daughter is a charming
creature. ! wish ! could persuade you
TO give ~ her hand.
Young man. YOU are joking; FOR.
seriously, yon must allow that Miss
Barring could never become the wife OF
a simple clerk
But" said Labouchere. "if | were in
partnership with Mr.. Hope?
"Oh. that would be quite a different
thing; that would entirely make up for
all other deficiencies"
Returned to Amsterdam, Labouchere
said to his patron:
"You must take me into partnership
MY young friend. how can you think
of such a thing? 1t is impossible You
are without fortune, and"
But If ! became the son-in-law OF
Mr.. Baring?"
I'm that case the affair would be soon
settled. and SO you have my word"
Fortified with these two promises,
Labouchere returned 10 England. and
two months after married Miss Barring,
because Mr.. Hope had promised to take
him into partnership, and he became
allied to the house of Hope On the
strength of that promise of marriage.

SWEET POTATOES.
Some Interesting Facts About Their Crl

some Interesting Facts About Their Cul
t~ivstion and Use.
The sweet potato is most commonly
propagated by means of buds from
roots planted in hotbeds. and the
shoots as they develop are planted in
the field. Cuttings from these vine.
are often rooted and transplanted for
the main crop. The plant rarely ma.
lures seed in the United States Ninety
days after the sets are transplanted
early varieties will be ready to dig for
use. The best growth is made in
warm, sandy, well-drained, and even
dry soil The greatest are in harvest
ing is necessary to pre- vent bruising the
roots in handling. for the skin is very
tender and wounded roots are sure to
decay. They are best preserved by
being kept in a temperature of seventy
five degrees for a fortnight after dig
cling, and then lowering the tempera-
ture and keeping it during the winter
at from fifty to sixty degrees in a dry
atmosphere.
Rather more than two-thirds of the
weight of the sweet-potato root is
water. Three pounds OF the roots af-
ford as much dry matter as one pound
Of corn, but only about half as much
protein. On sandy soil, however, more
dry matter to the acre can be secured
with d crop of sweet potatoes than
with a crop of corn. The young leaves
and tender sprouts of the plant are
sometimes prepared and eaten like
spinach. and the vines, although they
are usually left to decay in the field,
can be proitably used as food for cat
tie. They are better fed green than
cured into hay. and they cannot be
successfully made into ensilage.- N. Y.

A Little Row.

About twenty Japanese we're pull
ed in last night, because they in
dulged in too much celebration of
their Emperor's birthday, and re-
sented the impertinence of some
drunken kanakas and some anxious
to-fght policemen.
The row took place on Hotel
street shortly after 9 o'clock, and
the result was an all-round free
fight. Captain Parker and his re-
serve turned out and succeeded in
stopping the racket, and number
of the most aggressive Japanese and
their friends were locked up The
case against them was called in the
District Court this morning, and at
the request of attorney Paul Neu-
mann, who appears for the defense
of some of the Japs the trial was
postponed to Thursday.
Several other people who indulged
in a little scraping business last
night will be heard by the Judge on
Thursday.
1t is generally stated that the
police was altogether too fresh at
the Japanese row last night, and it
is insinuated that some OF the Off
GERS had looked on the saki when it
was very red.

were buried yesterday afternoon at
the Nuuanu cemetery. The Bishop
of Honolulu olficiated and a large
number OF friends OF the deceased

rites and escorted heir friend to his
last resting place.
The funeral service was held at
the beautiful Waikiki residence OF
the doctor. Mrs. James II. Boyd,
assisted by the Misses Cornwell,
Parker and Ward had converted the
room from which the remains Of
the deceased had to be carried to
the grave into floral paradise.
The handsome caslet covered
with grey plush and silver mounted,
was covered with floral offerings
never equalled in Honolulu. The
residence was appropriately decor
ated, but tears were even more num-
erous than flowers.
After the impressive service Of the
Anglican Church had been deliver.

men who acted as pail bearers: F.

ANNEXATION TO BE OR NOT
TO BEP

Under the heading "Quincy on
Annexation" the Advertiser COM
ments on Josiah Quincy's remarks
on that subject. Quincy is the lead
ing Democratic politician of Massa-
chusetts. He said "The Democra-
tic Administration is squarely op-
posed to the annexation Of these
islands with their mixed population
and coolie labor system" "There is
no question involved as to whether
American influence shall remain
paramount in those islands, for that
it must in any case continue to be;
or as to whether any other govern
ment shall be allowed to acquire
them, for we have declared that this
cannot be permitted; nor is there
any question as to the form Of the
Hawaiian Government"
The Advertiser then gets mad.
1t forgets the Constitution of the
Republic, and its oath thereto, and
howls defantly:
she goes on the principle that the
people of this country have practi-
cally nothing to say in the matter;
that our plan for annexation is
simply little side play and a
matter of comparatively small i'm
portance to us; that the United
States can play the dog in the man
ger act as long as it pleases.
4 \ \ 4.
The opportunity has been offered
for the United States to clinch its
hold on this country, and if it will
not accept it the American people
will sooner or later be obliged to
take their chances for the future.
1t (annexation) is plain, straight.
forward proposition, and if the
United States will not accept our
advances, the only thing that re-
mains is to look elsewhere. This
country cannot afford to jeopardize
its interests to suit the fancy of any
other nation. 1t is only matter or
a few years when the United States
will be obliged to come to some
thing more definite than its present
attitude, and will be obliged to de-
eide whether they will "take it or
leave it,"
And these be thy gods o Israeli
This is our annexation hope-"only
matter OF few years" and then
perhaps not to the U. S. For this
did the braves upset the monarchy,
bluff Willis, and threaten to fire on
the U. S. troops.
