Musical African Warriors.

KisaWa volunteered to send two mon with me to Kasembi s; did not suggest any pay; told off two of his young war riors and gave them instructions. They clapped their hands after each sentence to signify their acceptance of his tn- struotions Two others have come of their own accord. The only baggage of one is two sticks, upon each of which are threaded four dry rows of fruit, which rattle. The youth owning this property has long hair plaited into ropes, which fall to his neck and form a screen to his eyes. He is constantly keeping the rattle going and singing (principally about me) in 8 most flat tering manner, in which performance his friend joins, but the latter confines himself to singing. He has other use for his hands, which carry two baskets full of manioc flour, banghi pipe and spare rattles For the first hour they staid at my heels. All the time they kept up the rattling and singing and told me it was what they came for, and that they would thus entertain me until we reach ed Kasembi, four or five days off. spoke to them firmly, but kindly; told them their music was excellent, but must be heard at a distance to be prop erly enjoyed. The distance pointed out was about ten miles away. My musical friends took the hint good naturedly. but at times they break out into their boisterous ntertainment.- "Glave In the Heart of Africa" in Century.

The Dissertation of Scenery.

Ten years ago, we are assured, hardly
 letter of the alphabet could have been
 deserted, either on the Surrey or the Middlesex shore of the Thames, but now
 mills, wharves, hotels, chimney stacks and sheds seem to vie with one another in the exhibition of these huge painted placards, which are an abomination to the eye and an effectual bar to the inn provement of London from an Bsthetio point of view. But if any one is san- guine enough to suppose that "business men" will give up the system on the ground that, while it annoys other peo- pie, it does not benefit themselves, we are afraid he is doomed to disappoint- ment. The people who go to the expense of putting up these plaoards must know best whether they are of any use, and it can hardly be believed that they would continue to spend money on them un- less they were. Whether many among them would be found public spirited enough to sacrifice the advantage de- rived from such creations to the. mere love of the beautiful-whicb, unhappi
 ly, has not that influence among Eng
 lishmen which it possesses in some other countries-we should be disposed tC | doubt.-L1ondon Standard.

pArnoN1zE LOCAL INDUSTRIES.

"Patronizc local industries and keep
your money Mt home," are some OF the
methods suggested by the Ogden
Standard for building up the State.
The most striking illustration of the
paralyZing effect of condition which
induces the residents of State to
spend their money abroad is found in
the State of Nevada. Her mines, says
the Standard, have produced over
S600,000,G00 i'll gold and silver; her
ranges have supplied the Pacific Coast
with beef, and materially added to
the wool product of the nation; her
marshes have yielded great quaint
tics Of horaX. salt ami soda, yet tue
State is dependent upon the outside
world for everything her people use
and all that her people wear. The
millions from her mines. ranges
and marshes have been used to beau
tify other homes and other lands
and the greater part OF the State is
still IL desert.
Within the boundaries of Nevada
says the Standard. are 20, Goo, 900 acres
of land suitable for Irris:a ton and 30
COC COO acres afford the best grazing
land ia The wo:.i: the HumhGiit river
flows 800 miles through The centra!
part Of this vast domain and is con
tiguou, - millions OF acres of fertile
soil but needing reclamation to be
co ne highly fructircrous; the Truckee
river i.'WS more waters than the
sire ans of Utah; the Sierras are
clothed III dense forest of stately
piEes; yet with all this, her popula-
ton has never exceeded $4,000 and is
now only $4,000, including Chinese
and Indians lad one tenth of the
wealth produced been retained at
home. which home Industries could
have accomplished, the assessed value
of the State would notnow be less than
S4O,OOO,n00 nor the population less
than that of Salt Lake City.
What the Standard SAYS of Nevada
is too true. 1t is Il fact, deplorable.
but nevertheless true, that the mil
lions produced by the Nevada mines
have been invested outside the State.
Tho fashion has been for those who
made money iii mining. cattle raising
wool-growing or any other industry
I'D Nevada to take that money out of
the State for investment. Only one
wealthy man came to Nevada to help
develop its resources and he incurred
the deadly enmity of cotcria of pol
itcians by doing so. While the State
produces millions of pound" of wool
and thousands of hides annually, there
is not a WOODEN factory nor tannery
in Nevada, and this too in the face of
the fact that there is general COM
plant of the high transportation
charges for wool, hides and other
commodities out of the State and for
manufactured products into the
st ate.
Our people. or ut least cOnsidera
BILE number Of them, seem to perfer
imported articles. They will buy salt
with the Liverpool or some foreign
brand upon it, in preference to the
home product. though the latter If
chemically pure. They buy flour
made i'll California, though the home
product is equally as good, and the,
export live hogs to San Francisco anG
import bacon and hams from st
Louis or Chicago, and yet complain
OF eNorbitant transportation rates.

THE PROPOSED HOTEL.

The news that the first class,
modern hotel that has so long been
on the list of long-felt wants" is
to be a tangible realization of the
near future will be glad tidings to
many people of this country inter
ested in increasing the tourist ira
vel. And the number interested,
directly or indirectly, in tourist
travel takes in about all the pOpu-
lation of the islands. In the mind
of the travelling public the hotel
accommodations constitute one OF
the all-important items in making
an itinerary. Unfortunately the
Hawaiian Islands cannot boast of
having reputation for the high
est grade of hotels. Why this
state of affairs exists we will
not attempt to say, but it is never
theless a fact, and, when in the
face of an ardent advocate of the
Hawaiian Islands as winter re-
sort, there is thrust a searching
question as to our accommodations,
the poor man usually throws up
his hands. One reason for present
defects may be in the failure of the
merchants to cooperate as they in
tend to do under the new scheme
that is soon to be launched. Such
a combination as the one proposed
ought to assure success, and it is
not exaggerating the failings of
mankind for excellence in the sur
roundings of their hotel homes, to
say that an hosiery, up-to-date in
all it's appointments will bring
as much transient trade to
the Islands as an occasional
outbreak Of the volcano. Science
and climatic surroundings count
for a good deal, but how many re-
sorts are there that attract crowds
of people simply by the high class
hotels. Gable or no cable, volcano
or no volcano, give Honolulu the
modern hotel and we will get the
tourists.
