Found After Twenty-Seven Years.

EC.P. Warner has recovered the gold
watch which heslost twenty-seyen years
ago. He remembers all the clrcum-
stances regarding its loss, and said
that it was in the town Of Taylor,
CortIandt County, i'll October, 1870.
He said that he looked at his watch
atgten minutes to IL o'clock, while he
and his hired men were husking corn.
Then he said that he guessed that
they would husk another shock. The
cows had wandered into the meadow
and he went to drive them of, and
then he missed his watch. They
searched the field, and could find no
trace of the watch. Mr.. Warner
valued it highly. It was made in
London by F. H. Cooper, eight years
previous, and was worth $50. Afew
days ago Willie Parks was digging
potatoes, when he dug the watch up
out of a hill. His folks remembered
that it belonged to Mr.. Warner, and
he at once obtained it. The bearings
were rusty; the glass face and the
hands were missing, as was the ring.
The remaining parts were gold and
were furnished. Syracuse IN. ~

I ,e at a means Of communication
among the graduates of the common
schools. many Of whom have no other
language in common. Thus 1T IS
creaping into the homes of the people,
even. When the children learn even
crude English from their mothers, the
teachers task will be much simplitied.
For many years there have been schools
in Honolulu, and Hilo especially,
adapted to the needs Of the children
Of English-speaklng parents. Lately
similar schools have been opened in Il
number of otbar locations, and still
others will be opened shortly. These
are not essentially different from
schools of similar grade in America.
\ regular public high school is in pro-
cess of organization in Honolulu, the
greater number of the departments be-
ing already in working order. The
endowed institution known as Oahu
College, has long offered full prepare
ton for any college in America, and
many of its graduates have entered
leading American colleges ID advanced
standing.
But the English-speaking children
do not enjoy a monopoly of the privi-
leges of education beyond the common
school course. The Kamehameha
Schools, with their magnificent equip
ment and no less magnificent endow-
ment, are open to those of native
Hawaiian blood and to no others.
Manual training and industrial educa-
ton are leading features of these
schools, and few similar schools IN
America are so well equipped for work
on these lines.
The natives are very fond of music.
The guitar on account of the ,softness
of its tone, is their favoriteH instru-
ment. The royal Hawaiian band,
which a few years ago made q tour
through the United States, was COM
posed of native Hawaiians, all of whom
we're accomplished musicians.

Ten thousand were in the public

Smugglin. Didn't Pay.

A young man in Rhode Island, the
owner of a yacht, was recently pun
ished for an attempt at smuggling.
He took his yacht to Halifax, Nova
Scotia, last summer, and while there
purchased some $4,000 worth Of sui

brought to this country, and then
found he could not dispose of them
without detection. He finally became

would find him out, SC he went to the

Randolph's Body in an Oaks Embrace.

Randolph was carried to Virginia
and buried under the pines Of Roam
oke in the midst of that solitude
which he had always craved in life.
Many years later his remains were re-
moved to Hollywood Cemetery IN
Richmond, and handsome monument
placed over them by John Randolph
Bryan.
In making the removal it was found
that his body was buried no less than
eight feet in the ground; the triple
lead coffin WAS with difficulty removed,
as the roots of an old oak had burst it
asunder and wrapped round and
round his body, holding him in a long
embrace close to the State he had
loved so well.-Philadelphia Times.
