Tho Infallible Man of Molokai.
ED. The INDEPENDENT
In last weeks report OF the Board
of Health Superintendent Meyers
relates the death OF six beef cattle
soon after landing from the steamer.
This is good; we like to see these
things shown up, And the Board
of Health ought to know everything.
We would like to ask Mr.. Infallible
Meyers, Did he report the cattle
killed on the pail when he himself
supplied the lepers with cobble-
stone meat. Forsooth he did not
not much.
This bruised pail meat was duly
scraped Up, carried down, and
rammed down the throat Of us poor
fellows, take it or leave it. Hungry
people have no choice. That man
in Kamalo says it has taken Meyers
twenty years to think about resign.
ing; that is good, the cackling of
Meyers is better than none at all;
it shows an uneasy conscience, and
his resignation may be effected
about 1000 A, D., the poor devils
that are alive will then rejoice.

ED. The INDEpENDENT:-

ED. The INDEPENDENT
You are aware OF all that has been
said about the Kaunakakai school
house aud its discreditable bearing
on 81 Infallible Meyer. The latest
phase is this: A certain letter signed
Truth was published in your pa
per on March 22ud. The Infallibe
Meyer has another son.in-law at
Kaunakaka, he, like "Kupa Hawaii"
holds up his umbrella to shelter his
father-in-law, Meyer, and accuses
the teacher OF writing this letter.
This local son-in-law attacks the Ka-
unakakai school teacher aud trumps
up lot Of childish charges against
him. The Infallible is notified and
forthwith he comes rushing down
and "court- the teacher.
Wonderful to relate, Tor years back
until March Is aud 70 of this year
the Infallible Meyer, school agent,
never knew where the Kaunakakai
school-house was, all at once this
official develops marked activity.
You may draw your own conclu-
sions, Mr.. Editor, as to the cause OF
this activity-"Revenge." 1t is now
said the local son-in-law wants to be
teacher at Kaunakakai; perhaps the
Infallible knows something!
Thanks to The INDEPENDENT. 1t
will keep before the public the acts
of the tyrant, Meyer, aud how he
appears on Molokai.

To Drive Out Borers and insects.

Mr. Ewing, who has been visiting his son-in-law. c. F. Prather aud family, few weeks, gives a never failing remedy for rejuvinating apple trees and causing noxious insects to disappear from them. as follows: With q knife cut q cross in the bark of the tree near the roots and after turning the corners of the bark thus cut back bore 8 hole with small bit deep enough to reach the heart of the tree, then fill this hole with flour of sulphur, plug it up with limb of the tree, turn back the bark and tie 1t to place so that 1t will grow together nicely Mir, Ewing declares that this treatment will cause the tree to grow more thrifty and drive out all borers or insects from the tree and cause the fruit to be perfect and free from worms. It can do no harm and is well worth trying.

Buttons are certainly as ancient as
the siege of Troy, in the ninth century
before our era, for, both in that unfor-
tunato city and at MyccnR, Dr. Schlie-
mann discovered objects of gold, silver
and bronze which could have had no
other use than that Of buttons. In me-
dimval times the clothing of the common
people was generally fastened with
wooden pegs of the type and form Of
those resorted to in emergencies by the
country boy of the present day. Buttons
covered with cloth were prohibited by
George |, in 1870, to encourage the
manufacture Of metal buttons.
