Here is another girl and young
man case reported by the Cherokee
Sentinel: "A well known farmer,
who ought to know better, horse
whipped one of his daughters, a
bright and handsome young lady,
on our streets in a crowd of hun
dreds, her offense being that she
was walking with young man
whom he did not like. There was
great indignation among the peo-
pie, especially the farmers, and we
heard men threaten to mob him,
aud others to have him arrested.
The streets of a city are no place to
whip children, especially young
women. We know nothing of the
Young man, aud only withhold the
name of the man for the sake of his
daughter, who 10 an estimable
young moman. However, thous-
ands of people know him, as he was
the most talked of man in town on
the Fourth of July"

stan,ns Of Hawaii.

Philadelphia Times: Hawaii, Uncle
Sans new colony In the Pacific ocean,
Fable stamps. The early issues Of most
Countries and Islands are desirable and
command good prices, but those OF Ha-
exception bring the highest prices of any
tolony In the world. The 2-cent stamp OF
;she first Issue is universally recognized
IS one Of the rarest, varieties IA existence.
lhe enormous sum Of $500.
This greatSrarity was issued In 1851, -four
Years after the first government issue of
he United States. From six to ten speci-
mems are known, though a few more may
txtst which have not been taken from
heir hiding places. The stamp has
..iot always brought such an enormous
AJffcE. bMtsonly since IT became known how
Lew specimens existed. The last one to
asoi1e upon the market brought the fourth
age stamp-ss,5ooAand was actually sold
70 q European collector for that sum. Like
al the rarest postage stamps, the best as
;ortment Of the 2.cent Hawaii is to be
worlds largest and most valuable ac-
ssumulation of postage stamps. In 1t are
several magnificent specimens, as we'll as
of the scent and 1s.cent stamps
VI the same Issue. This collection cons
.fains many of the rarest specimens known
g exist. and y estimated to be worth
upwards of $1,000. 600.
The scent and 13-cent stamps of the first
fssue are also very scarce, but do not
bring nearly so high a price as the 2-cent.
The scent in average condition Is worth
from $500 to $500, while the 13-cent sells
At from $50 to $500. There are many more
Nf these in existence than of the 2-cent,
vet they are very rarely seen in collec-5
lions. q
The second Issue of the Islands. and the
aext in point of rarity, appeared In 1858.
two years later. This consisted of but
two stamps, scent blue and 13-cent red.
Various kinds of paper were used In the
issue. The most valuable specimen is the
5-cent stamp ongthick paper, having a
list price of $50 unused and SIS used. The
work OF this issue is very crude, N the
issue has frequently been counterfeited.
The third series was issued in 1859. and
consisted of. three stamps, 1-cent, 2-cent
