A GREAT RIVER.
Marco Polo's Report Concerning the
Yangtse-kiang.

Noah Brooks quotes the following
from the great Venetian traveller in his
series of "St. Nicholas papers. 1.-The
True Story of Marco Polo," in the March
number:
And l assure you this river flows so far
and traverses SO many countries and
cities that in good sooth there pass and
repass on it's waters a great number of
vessels, and more wealth and merchan-
disc than on all the rivers and all the
seas of Christendom put together! 1t
seems indeed more like sea than a
river. Messer Marco Polo said that he
once beheld at that city $4,000 vessels at
one time. And you may judge, if this
city, of no great size, has such a number,
how many must there be altogether,
considering that on the banks of this
river there are more than sixteen pro-
vinces and more than 200 great cities,
besides towns and villages, all possess
ing vessels.
Messer Marco Polo aforesaid tells us
that he heard from the officer employed
to collect the Great Khan's duties on this
river that there passed upstream 2OO,-
600 vessels in the year, without counting
those that passed down! Indeed as it
has a course of such great length and
receives so many other navigable rivers
it is no wonder that the merchandise
which is borne on it is of vast amount
and value. And the article in largest
quantity of all is SALT which is carried
by this river and it's branches to all the
cities on their banks, and thence to the
other cities in the interior.
The vessels which ply on this river are
decked. They have but one mast, but
they are of great burthen, for I can as
sure you they carry, reckoning by our
weight from 1000 to IL O0Ocantarse each.
In going up stream they have to be
hauled for the current is so strong that
they could not make head in any other
manner. Now the tow-line, which is
some 800 PAGES in length, is made of
nothing but cane. IT'S in this way:
They have those great canes of which
told you before that they are some fiji
teen PAGES in length; these they take
and split from end to end into many
slender strips, and then they twist these
strips together so as to make a rope
of any length they please. And the
ropes so made are stronger than If they
were made of hemp.

Thackeray and Laurence Hutton.

In the st Nicholas" Laurence Hut
ton says of his boyhood meeting with
The great English novelist:
The boy, in his time, has been brought
in contact with many famous men and
women, but upon nothing in his whole
experience does he look back with
greater satisfaction than upon his slight
intercourse with the first great man
staying at the Pulaski House in Savan-
nah in 1S53-perhaps it was in 1850
when his father told him to observe par
ticularly the old gentleman, with the
spectacles, who occupied seat at their
table in the public dining-room; for, he
said, the time would come when the boy
would be very proud to say that he
had breakfasted and dined and supped
with Mr.. Thackeray. He had no idea
who, or what, Mr.. Thackeray was: but
his father considered him great man,
and that was enough for the boy. He
did pay particular attention to Mr..
Thackeray, with his eyes and his ears;
and one morning Mr.. Thackeray paid
little attention to him, of which he is
proud, indeed. Mr.. Thackeray took the
boy between his knees, and asked his
name, and what he intended to be when
he grew up. He replied. "A farmer. sir"
Why, he cannot imagine, for he never
had the slightest inclination toward a
farmers life. And then Mr.. Thack-
cray put his gentle hand upon the boys
little red head, and said: Whatever
you are, try to be a good one"
If there is any virtue in the laying-on
of hands the boy can only hope that a
little of it has descended upon him.
And whatever the boy is, he has tried.

If he hoped to win. Unfortunately he
was worried and his actions showed it;
on one or two occasions while speaking
he had given way to puerile bursts of
temper that by no means enhanced his

slurring remarks about his opponent he
would only hurt himself, to which he
responded by the childlike inquiry:

This he practically repeated to a
mixed crowd at Conover's schoolhouse,
in one of the strong Cow Districts on
Friday night before election, adding:
Il cannot believe that parents inter-
ested in the future welfare Of their

she gently reminded him that his youth

to forget the fact that she was practi-
cally defenseless, and that in speaking

CABINET REFUSES PETITION OF

nership-Hagey Social Club offered
Use of Furniture.

The Government has given a final
answer to the stockholders of the Ha-
gey Institute that no charter will be
granted. This decision has had the
effect of making some changes in the
management of the League.
The Minister of the Interior in his
communication to the Hagey share
holders says that he was guided in
his action by the requirements of Sec
tion 1 of Chapter 43 of the Session
Laws, which says:
Joint stock companies for the pur-
pose of carrying on any business or
undertaking, either mercantile, agri-
cultural, manufacturing or buying,
for which individuals may lawfully
associate themselves excepting bank
ing and professional business) shall

ner and in no other
According to j. A. Magoon, the
shareholders held a meeting to dis
cuss the matter. When it was found
that they could not associate them
selves as corporation it was thought
best not to conduct the Institute as
partnership.
'We came to this conclusion" con-
tinued Attorney Magoon, "because we
did not want to incur any personal
responsibility in the operation of the
Institute. We have arranged to have
the treatment continued. The prem
ises will be retained, and the furniture
and fixtures loaned to the Social club
for their use"
"Will the stockholders lose their
money!"
Not necessarily" replied Mr.. Ma
goon. "The institution paid two div
idends of five per cent each since it's
establishment. The gentlemen who
have put their money into the Insti-
tute did not do so thinking it was
good money making proposition. We
did it for the good of the community.
Many have taken the treatment and
while it is true that a number have
taken to drinking again, it must be
remembered that there are several
who have braced up and are now hold
ing important positions since they
graduated. This alone has been
good investment for us. AS long rs
there are patients TO take the treat
ment there will be no question about
the life of the Institute. While the
treatment is q most wonderful thing,
yet patient must be willing to meet
it half way.
But two patients are taking the
treatment at present. The friends of
one of the graduates who has since
gone back on the treatment, are en-
deavoring to induce him to try it once
more, but he steadfastly refuses.

MEANING OF THE TAX APPEAL
BOARDS DECISION.
Works Hardship on the Numerous
Small Planters-Will Likely Go to
the Supreme Court.

The Tax Appeal Board has sustain
ed the assessors as against the plant
ers in the coffee lands cases recently
heard at Hilo, according to the Hilo
Tribune. There is a report current,
however, that the decision of the
Board was favorable to the coffee
men. The Kinau will probably bring
down the correct news, and it will be
awaited with interest, as the cases in
point are very important to the infant
industry.
The whole trouble has grown out of
the action of the assessors in placing
a value on coffee lands. Under the ten
years exemption law, it is provided
that growing coffee on the islands
shall not be taxed. but nothing is said
in regard to the lands uponu which
the coffee is growing. The assessors
thereupon placed valuation upon the
lands, raising it above the wild lands
land in the vicinity, which are not
taxable. This valuation, the planters
claimed, was influenced by the value
of the growing coffee. Without the
growing coffee, the lands would be
valueless, so that the planters claimed
that the assessment was in reality
upon the coffee trees, and not upon
the land, and for that reason was an
indirect violation of the law.
The question is of the utmost i'm
portance to the planters on Hawaii.
They are for the most part men Of
small means. struggling to establish
an industry that may rival the sugar
industry in value to the Islands. The
exemption law was made for the pur-
pose of relieving these small planters
of the burden of taxation but the as
SCISSORS action has deprived them OF
this relief.
There is little doubt but that
the matter will be carried into the Su-
preme Court.
