THE GOLDEN CITY.

From The days of ST. Johns revelation
TIE marvellous story is told,
And down ,hro' tne ages has come the
Tie sots OF the City of Gold.
To She !nnocen, hearts Of the children,
To the toicrs who faint meath earth's
To the old who have fought out its prob
lens.
To The dying whose journey is done,
Comes the dream of the mystical city.
With colors and loneliness rife,
Iridescen; its jcwcled foundations,
Fiowtr-borGercd its River of Life;
And the streets Of the city are golden.
And the 2s of crystal appears,
And the sound of the harpors is in it,
And ii knows not of sorrow or tears.
Like mirage out in the desert,
Like the fabric that fashions our dreams.
Like some many -hued m!rrored reflection
The heavenly Jerusalem seems.
We grope mid the types and the shadows,
We fret al it's yelling disguise;
But our hearts cannot grasp or conceive
It's glory is hid from our eyes.
We catch hut note of the music.
A glimpse swiftly passing and faint,
a hint of its wondINuS perfection,
Low whispered to seer ard to saint.
Yet the glow of it shortens the journey,
And our feet tread more bravely the road
Which leads to the sorrowless city
Whose Builder and Maker Is God.
And thus as a gift to the ages
The marvellous story flows or,
And the heart of man rests on the vision
That illumined the eyes of st. John.

Uncle Eric's Presents

IT WAS a radiant March morning

" WAS a radiant March morning,
the ground all mantled with new
fallen snow, the sparrows clamoring
at the window ledge for crumbs, like
bold little beggars as they were, and
the sky bluer than the blucst ribbons
on little Phillis' winter bonnet. And
the children all looked at each other
as they scrambled out of bed.
One thought was in all their minds.
This was the day upon which Uncle
Eric sailed, with his vessel, for the Bcr-
mllda islands.

But he had to jump pretty nimbly to
get out OF the way of the wash basin
full of CASTLE soapsuds, which Nathan
flung at him, in reply to this haunting
speech.

that he was insane. pursued, firing high
to scare rather than wound the fuei-
tive. Johnson jumped into the river
and was drowned before lie was res
cnetl. Careful examination showed
that lie was not touched by a bullet.
1t was proved also by other witnesses
that Johnson was subject to hereditary
insanity. and had been treated in an
asylum before.
In regard to the treatment of the
prisoners at Wardner, DIR. Frances
testimony corroborated that of other
witnesses. He said that they were
given good, wholesome food, care was
taken that they should be comfortably
covered at night. and that sanitary
measures were adopted to prevent dis
case. AS TO the presence of the Fed

Eighty Filipinos Moved Down, While
Americans Arc Not Harmed.

Americans Arc Not arm
Officers who have arrived in Manila
from Neuva Caceras, province of South
Camarines, bring details of a fight in
which eighty Filipinos were killed. The
American outposts reported 300 natives
assembled three miles from the town AMI
Gen. Bell sent three detachments of the
Torty-lifth regiment, with two MaXims,
who nearly surrounded the Filipinos, the
minority OF whom were armed with bolos
and wore carabao hide helmets, coats and
shields. The -l'ilipinos were quickly put
to flight, leaving the field strewn with
armor. Their riflemcn were unable to
shoot straight and the bolomen never
got near enough to the Americans to do
any execution. Therefore none Of the
Americans was wounded. Lieut.. Balcli,
with twenty cayalrymen from the Thirty
seventh regiment, cornered fifty bolomcn
in a river and shot every one, the bodies
floating away. One soldier had his head
struck off with a bolo.
Gen. Bells two regiments are hard
worked in clearing the country. They
meet with many small squads of bolomen
and last week killed a total of 125. Gen.
Bell has issued a proclamation declaring
that he will retaliate relentlessly unless
this guerrilla warfare ceases and that
he will burn all the. towns which harbor
9uerrillas.

being 22,S5O tons: aud thirteen vessels
brought III lumber with Il total Of
9.19S,520 feet. The acquisition of these
islands by the United States has given
an impetus to Honolulu that has at
tracted the commercial interest of the
world. The carrying and shipping to
this port has grown with such rapidity
that the increase of trade in December.
1SaM. compared with December Of 1898,
is something phenomenal.
Figures of the Bureau of Statistics
of the Treasury Department show that
exports from the United States to the
Hawaiian Islands have more than dou-
bled since 1887. and were $4.500.GO0
larger in $500 than in 1898. This shows
the benefits to American producers and
manufacturers of our expansion policy
through Hawaiian annexation. Export

Expansion and Business.

Consul General Haywood has sent to
the State Department the returns OF
Hawaiian trade for 1893. They show
total exports and imports OF S41, 7OO.-
600, of which the United States secured
no less than So, 100000 OF trade. leav-
ing only $4,000 600 divided among all
other countries.
A list of forty articles, all of which
are Of American manufacture or pro-
duction, shows an increase in impor-
tations amounting to SIS, 9 $3.50, as COM
pared with 1898. The revenue from i'm
port duties In 1890 was 100000 in ea-
e Of that of 1893. This is u large
gain when it is considered that almost
all goods imported from the United
States are admitted there free oe duty.
During the month of December, 1890,
the largest amount Of imports ever re-
corded for n month in Honolulu was
received. Sixteen foreign steamers and
forty-eight sailing vessels arrived in
port with cargoes. This does not In
clude the large number Of United
States transports that entered the har-
Dor brlnging stock and quartermaster's
