A Luminous Cat.

Those who now tolerate mice or rats
in or about the house certainly must be
blind to the fact that luminous cat,
which costs very little to secure and
nothing to keep, has been invented and
can be placed i'll any dark corner or nook
and etfectually scares away all such
pests. This cat is struck or stamped
from sheet metal or other like material
so as to represent i'll appearance the ex-
act counterpart of its animated feline
sister. 1t is painted over with lumi-
nous paint, so that it shines in the dark
like cat of flame. After being used
for about week the place is forever
free Of either mice or rats. Popular

1t Is the Unexpected That Happens.

Odd you put stamp on the letter ]
gave you this morning."
"a stamp? Certainly; oh, yes l
couldn't send it, you know, without a
stamp"
'And you mailed it, them"
"Who, me? Why, of course. -
''Let ME take your coat'and dust off
the collar"
"My coat? No, thank you. l haven t
time.
lyon have plenty of time. Hand me
the coat. "
Unwillingly he removed the garment
and reluctantly he handed it to her.
There was a fash of triumph in hel
eyes. She ran her hand into his breast
pocket and drew it forth-empty.
There was no letter there.
Then she tossed the coat back to him
and turned ON her heel. Washington

The Desire to Leave Name Behind Us.

The Desire to Leave a Name Behind Us.
We have an involuntary reverence
for all witnesses of history, be they ami
mate or inanimate, men, animals or
stones. The desire to leave work be-
hind is i'll every man and man child,
from the strong leader who plants his
fame in nations glory and teaches
unborn generations to know him to the
boy who carves his initials upon his
desk at school. Few women have it.
Perhaps the wish to be remembered is
what fills that one ounce or so OF matter
by which modern statisticians assert
that the average man brain is heavier
than the average woman s. The wish
i'll ourselves makes us respect the salts
faction OF it which the few obtain. Prob
ably few men have not secretly lOngcG
to see their names set up for ages, like
the ''Paulus Y Borghesius' over the
middle Of the portico of st. Peters
high above the entrance to the most
vast monument Of human hands in e2-
Fistencc. Modesty commands the respect
of many, but it is open success that APP
peals to almost all mankind. But Pas.
quin laughed:
'The corner is Peter's but the whole front
Paul's.
What then?
Not being Peters, the whole house is built for
Paul"

Convinced.

The preacher spoke of little things,
Their influence and power,
And how the little pitted speck
Made all the apple sour,
He told how great big sturdy oaks
From little acorns grew,
And how the tiny little stone
The burly giant slew.
But the cyclist sat there unimpressed
By all the Speakers fire,
Until he went outside and found
A pin had pierced his tire.

LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
Per s. G. wildor.I

The three days later news brought
by the S. G. Wilder is practically as
mysterious as ever in regard to
foreign political matters, aud is
mainly mysterious and suppositious.
Great Britain has probably re-.
sumed, as heretofore reported in
THE INDEPENDENT from English
sources, diplomatic relations with
Venezuela.
The radical American newspapers
appear to doubt the sincerity OF
Lord Salisbury's views on the Vene-
zuelan Arbitration matters, and crow
over his defeat in regard to accept
ing the Monroe doctrine in connec-
ton with such arbitration, while the
European continental journals in
innate that their countries will not
accept the precedent Of England in
its recognition, They allege that
bue Oultcu ptoteO 10 iubil'Hb Iue iish
OF an European war in he future.
The Russians are alleged to be
preparing for concentration OF
naval forces at Sebastopol.
The Eclair (Paris) states that
peace haze been concluded between
Italy and Abysinia on terms very
favorable to the latter country.
The Washington d. G. Journals
suggest The sensational idea that
President Cleveland is preparing TO
place the Unit, d States naval fore, s
on a war footing in view OF a con-
tengency OF war with Spain in ie-
gard to Cuba.
Speculation is rife as to the names
OF the Arbira.ors to be appointed
by Great Britain in the Venezuelan
arbitration.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, U. S. Consul
General to Cuba, is reported as
stating that there was remote pos
sibility Of war with Spain,
1t is reported that Cleveland and
Carlisle will enter into a law partner
ship in March next
The steamer Mazatlan is reported
as lost at sea between La Paz and
Mazatlan in fog. No lives we're
lost.

Are They serfs ?

Mr.. Lowrie, the manager OF EVA
Plantation, is evidently trying to be
as big an autocrat as is the Gar OF
all Russia.
He employs a number OF Portus
guese, among others, and he has re-
Gently forbidden men OF their ma
tionalty to visit their quarters. A
while ago, attorney Correa was or
dered of the broad lands Of Mr..
Lowrie when on his way to visit a
client. Several storekeepers haze
met the same fate.
Yesterday we are told, there was
an outrage committed on our es.
teemed fellow citizen, Mr.. NJ. A.
Gonsalves ofthe well-known firm Of
Gonsalves & Co, who desired to pay
visit to some OF his countrymen on
the Eva Plantation.
On his way to their quarters from
the railroad station he was met by a
man who, he says, ordered him to
return and even put his hand on
him to force him back. After an
alteration OF words the man pro-
duced his star as a police officer and
Mr.. .Gonsalves asked on what an
thority he dared to stop him, claim
ing that the parties he wished to
see had right of way. His pro-
gress was, however, resisted and Mr..
Gonsalves who is a man weighing
about ITO pounds was roughly treat
ed. Mr.. Lowrie, we are informed,
arrived at this moment and appar-
emily regretted that Mr.. Gonsalves
had been i'll used. When Con salves
arrived at Manana by the next train
he was met by Mr.. Lowrie's police
officer and arrested on charge of
assault and battery.
1t will be interesting to watch the
outcome OF the case, but it will be
OF more interest to find out where
and when Mr.. Lowrie derived his
authority to lock his laborers up as
serfs or criminals.

In the meantime it is underst God
that there are approximately 109,-
900 inhabitants OF the islands,. Oahu
claiming 26, 1874 males aud 14,041 fe.

There are consequently 72.515

population has increased some 30
600 since the last census, 1t is sale
to assume that the males, Asiatics
and others, preponderated in the
element of the increase. It is not
healthy outlook, nor is it one favor
able to the cause of the annexation
