Alex. Mackintosh's Paper.
The marriage of Louise Kapiolani.
daughter of Mr.. Eugene R. Folsom Of
the Honolulu Customs, to Willis Tay-
lor Knowlton, of Maiden, Mass, took
place at Los Angeles, Cal. on Easter
Tuesday in the Church of St. John. The
rector, the Rev. B. w. X. Taylor, Off
ciated. The Rev. Henderson Judd well
known in the Islands since his visit
here last year, gave the bride away in
the absence of her father. The young
people will make their home at
Maiden, Mass. Miss Folsom now Mrs.
Knowlton was born in HilO, where her
parents then lived
It has often been asked by visitors,
why. with such an abundance of flow
ers no flower shows were held. We
suppose it is because there are flowers
all the year round, and that almost ey-
erybody's garden is a flower show. But
should there not be a festival of flowers
/ a Fiesta" at least once a year. There
/ is nothing in Nature, which can bring
more Joy and gladness into the heart
than flowers. 1t was pointed out to u.s.
that the new baseball ground would be
| a fine place for flower show.
A most interesting letter appeared
last month in one of our local con-
temporaries from the pen Of Hawai-
ian lady. in which the complaint was
made that Hawaiian women did not
get their proper share Of the employ
ment necessary to afford them susten-
ance and comfort in life. The letter
itself was a revelation to us, because
in our long residence in the Islands
we have never yet heard of ntive CIR
or woman being in want Of employ
ment. Those who needed work coulC
always get it, as nurses, teachers OF
seamstresses. We have enquired, anC
advertised again and again for young
girls for various employments, bu
have as far as we remember never re
ceived a reply from a Hawaiian. W.
wish the writer of that letter could SCI
these lines, and communicate with tn
editor of this paper.

The Marked Decrease in Numbers OF Oxen
and Sheep in Maine.

The matter of the marked decrease
in the number of oxen in the State was
being discussed, "Wednesday, ana James
Plummer, clerk of the board of State
| assessors, showed how fast they were de
| creasing.
According to the first report of the
board in 1892. there were $3.50? oxen in the
State. In 1896 there were l5.273, and in
1891 there were but l0,323 which shows an
alarming decrease in the one year. This
| is accounted for by the fact, that in the
fan and winter of 1896, there was such Il
scarcity of hay, that the farmers did
anything to decrease their stock, in or
der to get hay enough to last what Of
their stock it was absolutely necessary to
keep 1T also goes to prove that the
greater part of the oxen sold, went into
the hands Of the butcher, rather than to
some more wealthy farmer
OF course those who are posted in aGri-
culture, and matters pertaining TO cattle
know whether or not this decrease is for
the good of the State SO it need not be
moro fully discussed here.
There has also been a large decrease in
the number OF sheep in the State, and
those who sold their sheep in the hard
times when they were 50 cheap, arc now
bemoannS their fate, since these ami
mails have nearly doubled the value III the
past year.
In 1892 there were 80, 6o2 sheep in Maine.
In 1896 the number had decreased to 30
$50 and in 1891 that number was de-
creased to -. l2S
1t is said upon good authority there
are not enough sheep to eat up the refuse
