and sneers of the Advertiser clique
when tho monarchial ministers
paraded troops and did the "fuss
and feathers" business when receiv-
ing prominent foreign officials or at
diplomatic functions9 And these
very same humorists who were then
too ready with sarcasm and wrote
ginberger.drinkenstein and other
idiotic rot, are now calling out
volunteers and regulars and the
band and the majors, to receive
private Japanese gentleman, who is
not visiting here officially and not
accredited to Mr.. Dole's govern
ment. The Minister OF Foreign
Affairs, in his ignorance receives
Count Matsu, gentleman alleged
to bo travelling in Hawaii for the
benefit of his health, with honors
not even rendered to the official
representative of the great powers
of the world. He orders out vo-
lunteers and takes from their desks
men who are busy and especially on
the first day of a month, a Saturday
at that, could not be spared from
their employ by their employers.
Think OF the Inconvenience caused
to these men simply to make a dis
play of "fuss and feathers" before a
private gentleman who naturally
only snickered at the display of Ha-
waits army. Mr.. Dole ought to
engage a teacher in diplomatic eti-
quette and usages for the benefit of
his foreign office, or get new Min
ister. A republic might possibly
stand good deal. Public ridicule
is dangerous to its welfare.

Nelson's Flagship on View.
THE "FreHrrNe FouDRoYANr."

THE FIGHTING FOUDROYANT.
The celebrated old ship Foud-
royant is now lying in the Thames
off Woolwich, where she is to be on
view to the public for some weeks.
In addition to her great historic in
terest as the flagship OF Nelson, the
fact that the vessel is just about 100
years old is not her least attractive
feature. Began at Plymouth Yard
in 1889, he was launched in 1898,
and was the second S0-gun 2.decker
of her type built in England. When
launched, Lord st. Vincent declared
that she was "the most persect ship
that ever swan on salt water"
Nelson himself described her as
magnificent ship, when in June,
1799,she transferred his flag to her
from the Vanguard. When the
naval wars in which England had
been engaged ceased, at the begin
ming Of the present century, this
vessel, then considered fine speci-
men Of naval architecture, was
docked at Devonport, where she lay
till August, 1892, after which the
Admiralty thought it time to dis
pose OF her, and her destination be-
came burning question" A good
deal of discussion then took place
in the press as to the propriety Of
securing her as national curiosity
but she was sold to a German con-
tractor, who had just begun to
break her up when Mr.. j. r. Cobb
and some friends bought her for
$4,000, and restored her to such an
extent that she now looks as fresh
and stately as in her best fighting
days. She has still her full compile
ment of guns; and, although most
of the furniture on board is, of
course, new, care has been taken to
preserve as much as possible the
original appearance and arrange
ments throughout. 1t is estimated
that altogether nearly 100000 will
have been expended on her for ex-
hibition purposes. 1t is hoped that
by exhibiting her at the various
seaports of England and America
this outlay will be recouped; and,
in that event, the owners intend in
the end to present her to one of
our largest ports. This year it is
intended to exhibit her in the
Thames off Woolwich; at Kiel, the
German naval port; at Yarmouth,
and probably Plymouth. The Amer
leans are eager to see her, but other
English ports will probably be visit
ed before she crosses the Atlantic

To 'pile on agony" is popularly
supposed to be an Americanism. 1t
is, however, found in one of the let

used in English popular literature
before the beginning of the present

The "lex talionis"-law Of retalia-
tion-appears to have vogue in some
parts of India. A short time ago a
rich native at Bombay was sharply
punished for stealing silver orna-
meuts from his servants. His de-
fence was that as they had previous
ly stolen his property he considered
it quite fair to appropriate theirs
until the account was adjusted.

Martius. There remains very large
extent of wall, and the ground is
strewed with potsherds.

When it pleases China to adopt
Western civilization, to the same ex-
tent as enabled Japan to defeat her
in the late war, her re-awakening
will prove of great and material ia
terest to the whole world for by de-
grees she will possess the strength
of q giantess, formidable to handle
or to interfere with. Present indi-
cations are that interneeine revolu-
lutions will precede internal i'm
provements, but that eventually the
return to their country of Chinese
who have lived and studied in many
foreign countries will have it's weight
and effect.
