WAR "REMINISCENCES.
VISITS TO THE ARMY.

Mai, Gen. Howard Tells Of Some Expe-
riences-"Ihc Skeared vlrginlan."
1t was not my good fortune to- have
known Abraham Lincoln before l look
my regiment the Third Maine volun-
teers, to Washington, and encampcd II
on Meridian Hill, near Columbian col
lege, the first week Of June, 1861. The
officers of the regiment, after our ar
rival, took great pains to have . good
evening parade about shutdown on every
fair day; and so, as to Burnside'3 en-.
campment Of his Rhode Island brigade,
in another part Of Washington, and but
terfeld's Twelfth New York on Frank
lin square, visitors from the city every
evening came in carriages to witness
the exercises. Sometimes cabinet off,
GERS and members Of congress sat in
their carriages and observed us while
the parade went on. Mr.. Lincoln him
self came two or three times and looked
on with evident interest; but before !
had finished my part Of receiving and
conducting the exercises be had rid
den away. SO that did not then make
his personal acquaintance.
A little later there was some consul.
tation q army leaders by cabinet on
GERS in the presence Of Mr.. Lincoln at
the white house, and Twas among them.
At that time l must have been intro
duced to the president, but think only
In hurried way, as we came together
into the middle room and Immediately
took seats. Several officers took part
In the conversation. remember only
that Mr.. Seward answered proposition
from me in such way that IT made me
feel very small and very young. Inow
only recall the fact Of young mans
modification and his resolution there
after to hearken diligently and say
little.
The next occasion when observed
Mr.. Lincoln was after l had been pro-
noted to brigadier general (Septem-
Der, 1861; and while waiting orders at
Washington Mcclellan had q grand re-
view, and l crossed the long bridge
and went over beyond the Arlington
Heights to view the handling Of the
troops en- that occasion. l met some
old army acquaintance with ladies',
also looking on from nice position.
As Iapproached was made to feel that
my presence among these oldtime
friends was not welcome. These ladies'
and all about them were in sympathy
with the rebellion, and laughed at me
as o new fedged brigadier on the Yam
kee side. Mr.. Lincoln's curious ap-
pearance on horseback with his long
stirrups and his hat apparently on the
back Of his head, was the cause of all
sorts of satirical and unkind remarks
among my neighbors. As already es-
teemed him highly, ] quickly left them.
1t was while returning to Washington
after that parade that al officer COM
planned to Mr.. Lincoln Of Gen. W. T.
Sherman, who had threatened to shoot
hin for some misconduct, u he repealed
the offense. Mr.. Lincoln told the officer
in a quiet whisper aside that Sherman
was a man Of his word, and might do it.
Surely the officer must not again give
him the occasion.

been the means of keeping and
distributing considerable of
money in the country. In these
new industries the cheap labor
that has been so much deplored,
as the fountain of a great deal of
the competition in trade and
skilled labor, has been found VAL
liable to a degrees that makes it
appear less of an unmixed evil
than would otherwise be the case.
When all is said that has been,
however, it must be conceded that
the stress of competition, in lines
of trade and industry apart from
the agricultural interests, is too
great from the source of labor
immigration. In the interest Of
social and political development
upon western models all legitimate
checks should be applied to pre-
vent the increase of such compe-
tition. With regard to Chinese
and japanese who are now free
from contract and under no bonds
to return home, absolutely nothing
can be done to prevent their en-
tering into any private line OF
business or employment. There
is legislation enough, if it be en-
forced, to prevent any further adj
dition to the number of Chinese
in the country, excepting for ex-
clusively agricultural or domestic
labor under contract. There is
no such preventive measure to
check the transfers of japanese
from the ranks of contract labor
to those of free competition, but
it is in the power of the Govern
ment to put stop to the importa-
ton of Japanese under public
auspices and encouragement. This
would be some slight impediment
to the threatened overwhelming
of ordinary trade and labor with
japanese immigration. Above all
! things the Government should not
have Chinese or japanese en-
ployed on public works. These
claims of what should be done
are not presented out of race
prejudice against either the Chi
neses or Japanese, but in simple
justice to the native children of
the country and people Of the
races that have given the country
its civilization, therefore have
prescriptive rights as against
other foreign nationalities in
governing the affairs and the
destinies of the country.

Put ring around the word
OPPORTUNITY the occasion
makes it. Never in the his
tory of mercantile transac-
tons in Honolulu have the
people had such a golden
opportunity to select lamp
as to-day. Al manufacturer
who had moro than he knew
what to do with, more than he
had space to pat them, wrote
US of his troubles. We had
none of our own so we
listened to him. Our stock of
lamps is the result of his tale
of woe and you get the benefit.
A black lamp that will give
a bright light is not a fad, but
style that will remain until
"New Hawaii" shall become
old. Being sombre in color
they furnish with any decora-
lions you may have in your
room and any color shade that
suits your fancy will look
well on the lamp.
For a dinner table nothing
furnishes the table better than
black banquet lamps. We have
them, not cumbersome, but of
a height that will beautify
rather than detract from the
other features. We have piano
lamps, hall lamps, boudoir
lamps and every other character
of lamp that ever was made.
The prices are so low that
it would injure our business
to put them in this column.

Timely Topics
REFRIGERATING MACHINES
AND CREAM SEPA-
RATORS.

Now that the Fourth OF July
celebration is over and people
are settling down to business
again, we desire to call the
attention of the residents of
the Hawaiian Islands to a few
matters of interest.
We have lately been APP
pointed sole agents for BAR
BER'S REFRICERATING MA
CHIMES.
This machine can readily be
arranged in creameries, ETC., so
as to cool cream, milk and
water to any desired tempera-
ture down to and below freez-
ing, as also to hold a we'll
insulated butter-room at any
temperature desired above 90
degrees, only requiring the
running of the machine from
four to six hours per day,
which is the usual time that
the other machinery in a
creamery is operated.
In addition to creameries,
these machines are also adapted
for use in produce houses,
meat markets, hotels, club
houses, etc. Their perfect work
has been demonstrated fully
in the past two years in a large
number of creamerieS in differ
ent portions of the East, and
more particularly in the EIgin,
ILL.,, district, as we'll as in butter
houses in Chicago, New Or
leans, and elsewhere.
The cost of operation is no.
minal, as the charge of ammo
MIA furnished with the plant
should last a year or more
without recharging, and will
cost only about $500
The DE LAVAL CREAM
SEPARATORS are now in al
most universal creamery or
factory use the world over,
and in the past few years the
Dairy or Baby sizes of these
machines have almost as COM
pletely revolutionized general
dairying as had the larger
machines previously the cream
cry industry.
The De Laval Company now
presents to the public a smaller
type of its latest and most
improved Alpha" machines
intended for household and
small dairy use, and designed
to confer in its new field the
same inestimable benefits of
centrifugal separation of cream
from milk as have the larger
machines in their respective
spheres.
No more fitting and des-
criptive term could we'll be
applied to this little machine
than the name which has been
so aptly given 1.-THE "Hum-
ming-Bird." 1t is very small,
very compact, extremely sim
pie, easily understood and
cared for, safe and durable. 1t
possesses every advantage to
be found in any of the larger
alpha" machines, is so ex-
tremely easy of operation by
reason of its new method Of
obtaining motion as to be
designed mainly for use by
women and children, and is
absolutely thorough in its
effectiveness. 1t need simply
be said that it fuIfillS every
requirement of its purpose.

ASIATIc COMPETITION.

puppets dhu hSdlu Ou WIG obicOOo
that Chinese competition in labor
and trade is not a circumstance to
the japanese article. Whereon
somebody in a position to know
great deal of what is going on re-
marked to the editor, that people
who say such thing do not know
what they are talking about. He
instanced the building trade, in
which he said the Chinese were
walking all round the Chinese.
Certainly there is no indication
along our business streets that the
japanese are running out the Chi
nese, although it is clear that the
number Of japanese stores sprung
mp in the past few years, added to
the Chinese long a leading ma
tionality in trade here, has added
Just so much to the competition
that the American and European
dealers, both wholesale and retail,
have to encounter. At the same
time, while there have been re-
markably few failures among
either white or Chinese storekeep-
ers, and none of any great magni-
tude, in long period of years,
several japanese stores of con-
siderable pretensiops have gone
under or out within a compare
lively short time. One of these,
that of an individual trading I'M
der high. sounding corporate
name, had the elements of q good
sized swindle in it. Moreover, in
the past ten years or since an
anti Asiatic agitation took form
and force, though spasmodic in
its operation-we have seen de-
cided increase in trade conducted
by white firms. Those long es.
tablished have come to require
larger and better stores, new ones
have entered the arena and quick
y acquired-in advertising Ian
guage-''a fair share of public
patronage" and there has been
seen the inauguration, with
evident success, of special stores
handling but one line of goods.
Indeed, it would seem to have
been fully proved in Honolulu
that competition is the life of
trade. Some of the earlier estab-
lished firms are perhaps not do
ing so much business as they did
few years ago, and no doubt
have to be content with smaller
profits on what they sell. Yet
they all seem to have a more or
less satisfactory degree of pros
peiity, and the purchasing public
come in for advantage in the re-
duction of prices.
What is the secret of such an
expansion of general business,
with strenuous if not fierce COM
petition all the while? Simply
there has been q steady advance
in developing the resources of the
country. Each succeeding year,
almost, more money has come in
to the country in exchange for its
products, and goodly share of
the enhanced increment has been
put into the soil to swell the in
crease. Besides the enlarged area
o. sugar cane fields, these years
have Witnessed the rapid develop
ment of coffee cultivation. There
is no doubt that great deal of
capital not gained from Hawaiian
soil has been broughtinto the coun-
tgy to fatten this young industrial
giant, as we'll as not little do
mestically earned money put to
the same purpose which otherwise
might have sought foreign invest
ment. There is no more heard in
tho land the voice of the syren in
viting domestic capital to the
