HAWAIIAN GAZETTE: FRIDAY, "a

without that liberty he preferred death.
So the men of the South, the men who
were devoted to honor and to the ma
ton, felt that the principles for which
they fought, the liberty Of the State,
were correct.
Mr. n. w. McIvor, ex-Consul to Yo-
kohama, continued along the same line
of thought, State rights. But the
rights of the Union, and it's preserva-
ton in its entirety, were above all.
The Union was even now extending its
boundaries and soon, he hoped, the Ha-
waiian Islands would be included.
At the close of Mr.. McIvor's re-
marks Commander Green announced
a recess, and generous supply Of re-
freshments was passed to the mem
bers and their guests. In the early days
of the camp fires the somewhat limited
menu of army camps was in vogue. 1t
was an attempt to preserve the recol-
lections of the days in the early SOS
when the diet was pretty much the
same every day. But the digestive ap-
paratus of the veterans, toned down by
tropical fare, suffered somewhat from
strong coffee served in tin cups and
biscuit and crackers eaten off tin
plates, so the more appetiZing edibles
such as were served last evening, were
substituted. After a pleasant hour
spent in conversation the company dis
banded.

The mysterious American at King
Arthur's Court was powerful because
of his knowing what nobody else knew.

that rheumatism is caused by impurity
of the blood, and that Mother Seigels
Curative Syrup cures it, he could have

THAT MASTERFUL YANKEE.

The writings of Mark Twain are full
of instruction, as well as humor. Pos
sibly you have read that wonderful
story of his called "a Yankee at King
Arthur's Court" The hero is a skilled
mechanic, the foreman of a great fac
tory in America He is accidentally
killed, as we would say; but, instead
of getting his body deposited in the
grave, as happens to the most of us, he
comes to life again, and finds himself
at the Court of King Arthur in Eng
land in the sixth century, 1900 years
before he was born. That was a time
of deep ignorance and superstition;
people were but children then. So
with his knowledge and his nineteenth
century training he soon becomes mas
ter of everybody and everything. He
controls the Government and runs the
whole country-eXactly as a college
professor would be superior to all the
children if he should take it into his
head to join class at parish school.
Now let us see what this idea may
mean to you or to me.
In the autumn of 1873 Mr. James
Murphy, of 40 Townsend Street, Dub
lin (present address 5 Synnott Row,
Synnott Place, Lower Dorset Street,
had a severe attack of rheumatic fever
and was under treatment at the Sir
Patrick Dunn's Hospital for three
months. Then he left the hospital, but
not the man he was before the disease
fell upon him. Afterwards he was
never free from it. For a while he
would be comparatively well, then
down on his back again 1t would de-
pend on the weather and other circum-
stances, you see.
OF his worst times he speaks in this
way: my ankles and feet were hot
and painful, and would often swell to
three or four times their natural size.
Occasionally the pain extended to the
hips, and l had to be swathed in wad-
ding from the thighs down to the an
kles. In this way-now able to get
about and now confined to my bed
suffered for oUer serenteen years. The
joints of my fingers and toes became
displaced, or seemed to be So"

thus disabled is immense, and while
rheumatism is peculiarly the disease
of adults and old persons, the young
(even children), do not escape it. If
the disease were only understood-but
let us not get ahead of our story.

Murphy, 81 had a dreadful attack, and
was confined to bed for seuenteen tceeks.

DUGUAY TRoUIN.
French Cruiser Comes Into Port
From Tahiti.

The French cruiser Duguay Trouin,
with Commodore Fort aboard, arrived
in port shortly before 9 a. m. yester-
day, after a pleasant, but uneventful,
trip of about II days from Tahiti. The
Duguay Trouin arrived here on the
2Sth of September of last year and left
on October I'd, bound for San Francis
co. She is bound the same way this
year, but instead of returning to the
South Seas, where she has been off
and on for quite a while, she will leave
in about a week and expects to get
orders in San Francisco to proceed
home.
After anchoring on the Waikiki side
of the U. S. S. Philadelphia, the Du-
quay Trouin saluted the Hawaiian flag
and was given the usual answer from
the shore battery. Then she saluted the
flags of the Admiral and Captain of the
U. S. S. Philadelphia, respectively.
The French cruiser is REGISTERED at
$500 tons, has 10 large and II small
guns and a crew of $50. She has been
on the Pacific station for the past six
years, and it is probable that she is
now on her last cruise. Most of her
time has been spent in the South Seas
The officers of the Duguay Trouin
are as follows:
Commodore Fort.
Commander Pugibet.
Aide-de-camp, Lieut.. McGuckin de
Slane
Paymaster Rauch.
DR.. Landens.
Engineer Legaux.

Walked After His Head Was of.

DIR. Loye, the French physician, who
has greatly interested himself in the
question, What passes in the head of
adecapitated human being?" relates the
following remarkable story, which he
says was taken from the archives of the
Vienna courts: 1t was in the year -
that Schoenenburg, Il well known bandit,
and four of his associates were caught
and condemned to death They were
already OH their knees ready to pay the
penalty of their bloody deeds by sub
uniting to the awful fate of decapita-
tion when Schoenenburg addressed the
judge, asking that his four companions
might be pardoned on certain condi-
tons "If," asked the bandit, "after
am behcaded, L get up and walk to the
first of my comrades, will you pardon
him"" The judge thought that he was
pretty safe in complying with the re-
quest. Then, continued Schooner
burg, "if 1 walk to tho second, the
third and the fourth, will you pardon
them also?" The judge replied that if
such miraculous feat could be per-
formed no would obtain pardon for the
other three also. The bandit was now
satisfied, and, bending his head. he re-
ceived the fatal blow. Instantly the
head rolled down in the sand, but to
tho surprise and horror of all present
the headless trunk arose and walked
alone. Aimlessly, it appeared, the body
walked around until it passed the first,
tho second, the third and tho fourth
condemned bandit, when it fell down
and became motionlcss. Query, How
could u headlcss body Think"
