FAIRNESS TO THE WINDS.

People and Papers in Hawaii would
more than likely be doing both them
selves and this country injury by taxi

States. There might be future bitter
regrets for some things said. There is
no certainty of November results. 1t
may he accepted and acknowledged
that one of the great parties has eX-
pressed a cordial friendlncss for the
Republic of Hawaii. TO do otherwise
than take cognizance of this courte-
ously would be base. But there is
enough in viewing and considering
the great issues raised and the indi-
viduaI giants at struggle to permit a
live interest without keen PARTISAN

The Black Cat Superstition.

A lady going up Charles street was very
much interested in the performance of a
black cat which was hunting for a tender
sparrow on which to make a breakfast.
The cat proved to be a successful sport. He
bagged the game and ran across the path
between the lady and a gentleman ap-
preaching from the opposite direction. The
gentleman WAS on his way down town to
business. When he saw the cat, he stopped
short, as if he had been shot, turned around
three times on his heel, said Darn that
cat" and hurried away from the spot
The lady, who very well understood all
the actions of the cat, was so surprised by
those of the gentleman that she became
fixed to the spot. She could not make it
out until a black woman informed her that
it was mighty bad luck for Il black cat to
cross ones path, especially on the way to
business in the morning" She also learned
that the way to break the spell of ill luck
was to turn around three times and "cuss"
the cat mildly. Satisfied with this solution
of the question, she did not consider it nee
essary to step across the street to consult
any further authority on the black art in
the Peabody library, within sight of which
the incident occurred. baltimore Letter in
