BRILLIANT ENDORSEMENT.
BY Health Journal of New York, Aug
ust "a, 1881. A. Davis, Md, Editor
and Manager.

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend, for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in its use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior
excellence is a very wholesome bever-
age. Physicians often have occasion
to prescribe a pure beer for cases of
debiltation, and they can safely order
this beer, made by the Capital Brewing
Company.
L. H. Dee has in his keeping the
American Journal of Health and can
be seen by anyone.
This beer can be had in bottle or on
draught at the HOFFMAN, corner of
Hotel and Nuuanu streets. A large as
Bortment of the very best of American
and foreign liquors We are pleased to
Sell you and give you value for the
Nnefit of your health.
Yours, L. H. DEE,
Proprietor of HOFFMAN.

ANOTHER SHIP OVERDUE.
MAY HAVE BEEN THE VESSEL
BURIED AT SEA.
The Paul Isenberg is out Hundred
and Fifty-Seven Days From Ham
burg, Germany.

The ship Paul 1senberg, owned by
Hackfeld & Company of this city, is
considerably overdue from Hamburg,
Germany, and a good deal of anxiety
is felt regarding her. The report OF Il
ship having been seen burning off Cape
Horn adds to the anxiety, as the iden-
tity of the ship has not yet been learn
ed. though the disaster was reported
some months ago.
The Paul Isenberg has made several
trips here from Germany, once covering
the distance in 107 days, under COM
mand of Captain Wuhrmann, now of
the Marie Hackfeld She left Ham
burg on the 18th of June last, so that
she is now 157 days out, and has not
been spoken. The ship that was seen
in trouble off Cape Horn was sighted
at about the time when the Isenberg
should have been there, but there were
several other vessels due there also.
The Charles +. Moody was one, and
when she failed to arrive it was thought
that she was the burned vessel Then
the Moody arrived all right and the
speculation was narrowed down to two
or three other vessels. The Cyrus
Wakefield and Paul Isenberg were two
ships mentioned as possibly having
been burning as reported. The Paul
Isenberg has a cargo of general mer-
chandise, consisting largely of Christ
mas goods 1t is easily possible that
she has gone, as the Moody did, by way
of the Cape of Good Hope, in which
case she may not reach here till after
Christmas.
The ships Poseidon and Arthon and
the bark H. f. Glade are also about
due here, consigned to Hackfeld e
Company from English ports.
The Cyrus Wakefield arrived in San
Francisco on the 18th of this month,
PIC days out from New York, via Stan
ley. She brought the dead body of her
captain Frederick Y. Henry, who, it is
suspected, was murdered by the first
mate, though the ships log tells of his
having been killed by an accident dur
ing a storm.

AMERICAN GIRL OUTCLAssED.

THE girls of Honolulu are handsome,
black eyed damsels," writes a Kansas
soldier boy, but they hardly compare

complished swimmers, however, and for
a nickel will dive into the water at any
time. 1t does not take them long to
undress, for what garments they wear
are very light and short at both ends.
If you throw a silver dime into the
water where it is twenty feet deep they
will dive in head first and bring it up.

Road DRAINAGE That Drains.

One authority on the subject of road
draining claims that in prairie soil a
good road can be obtained for II months
in the year by simply putting in a good
system of tile drainage, slightly round
ing the road bed and sowing grass seed
SO that the roots may aid the drainage.
If the road surface is to perform the
service of a roof it must be protected
from the action of the narrow wagon
wheels. A sharp turn is alwaysi in bet
ter condition than the straight portions
of the road. A little thought shows at
once that this is due to the. fact that the
front and rear wheels do not follow
each other and therefore do not form
ruts. A slight difference in the length
of the front and rear axles of
wagons with the use of wide tires would
accomplish more for roads, considering
the expense involved, than any other
one thing.-Western Plowman. ~

that they would be not only fired upon,
but pursued 40 soon a. the British
could man their boats. So, when the
fugitives were fully out Of sight in tbs
fog. Beman steered the galley directly
across East river to its western shore;
and as it was night by this time they
turned their course in the opposite d.
rection from what their pursners would
take, and silently skirting Manhattan
island southwark rowed completely
around the little city OF New York.
This was an extremely hazardous
thing to do, for the course carried then
close along the front of the Battery
and under the very guns of several big
frigates. Now and then they were
hailed by sentinels from land or ship,
but Beman, having prepared himself to
answer by questioning guards and Of.
ficers on the Whitby, replied in such q
way as to avert all suspicion.
Within an hour or SO the galley struck
into North river, and here the tide was
running in their favor. for it set north
ward in mighty current. Before morn
ing they were beyond danger. and
within few days had arrived, some at
Washington's headquarters and others
at their homes. While their pursuers
were searching the stretches of East
river and the shores OF the Sound for
them, these Yankee rebels were march
ing triumphantly onward to enlist
again in the struggle for liberty.-La-

would run ashore somewhere and ar
ford an opportunity fer the Americans
to escape. But the rattling Of chaia
in raising the anchors reached the ears
OF the night officer on one of.the frig-
ates, and before the Whisby had fairly
begun to move yawl filled with ma.
rines came alongside, and the under
taking was frustrated.
But so enfeebled BY rigid confine-
ment and low diet were most. of the
prisoners that probably many of them
would have persisted even had they es
capped. They had not endurance to
march across the country to their
friends. Thus it was plain that anv
attempt at general escape would de-
feat itself. 5 = h
Finally Beman decided to include q
few only of his harbor comrades, and
hoped by quietness and swiftness to
get off without awaking much .oppo-
sition. To this end he selected the
seven OF his companions best fitted for
the attempt, and, rehearsing his plans
to them, obtained their hearty support.
He had observed that every evening
just before the change of guards gal
leJ came over from British headauar-
tiers in New York, bringing lieutenant
with orders for the night and sometimes
letters or wines and delicacies for the
officers of the ship. This galley was
manned by only two oarsmen, who gen.
orally, while waiting for the lieuten-
ant, came on deck to chat with the
guards and prisoners. and left their
oars in the small boat.
Swung above mems heads over the
deck of the Whitby, and designed for
special emergencies, were other gal
leys, each of which, as our plotting ca D.
tive had discovered while 'clamberinp
innocently about the place, contained
oars; these might come into play. And
here it should be added that the eight
Americans engaged in the plot were all
familiar with boats and rowing.
considered, Beman awaited favora BILE
occasion to undertake the perilous ad-
venture.

salt Dressing for Lawns.

Wherever lawns are highly manured,
as most well-kept lawns are apt to be,
a dressing of salt. sometime during the
winter will greatly benefit. them. Salt
in small quantities, as it must be used
when applied to land, is one of the best
solvents known.> We are so used to put
ting salt in extra amounts to harden
and pickle vegetables that we are apt
to forget that in very small amounts it
rots them. Try it on some cut potatoes
for seed, as we knew a farmer once to
do, and see the effect. He rotted a
whole row of potatoes in this way, so
that two-thirds of them never came UP.
Salt is especially valuable to release
mineral fertilizers that have become
inert in the soil.-American ultivator.

Burning Of Muck Soils.

It is frequently found that mucl.
soils, even after the most careful drain
ing, are still unproductive. The fer
tilizing matter which they contain is
in unavailable condition for plants. A
common practice in Ireland and in Eu-
ropeans countries is to pare the surface
and after drying to burn the organic

Mrs. Washington was so tickled at
the banter that she fell to laughing,
andswas joined by her favorite parrot,
perched near by.
"Ah, Lee" said the general, not at
all rufaed, ''you are a funny fellow.
See, even that bird is laughing at YOU -
That there was suspicion of truth
in Lees implied accusation of ,closeness
at bargain is borne out in the we'll
known fact that Washington was one
of the keenest men at a horse trade.
It is also told of him that, having
settled for job of plastering at his
home, he afterward found that he had
overpaid the laborer. by Il shillings.
Meanwhile the man had died and his
widow had married again, but the gem
eral collected the overplus of her Sec
ond husband.
One had to be careful in marrying
widows those days. If a widow wished
to clear herself of her deceased hus-
bands obligations, the second time
she must be married with nothing on
her but her shift. It is supposed that

thing besides at her second nuptials,
