CORRESPONDENTS

Ed. The INDEPENDENT:

Ed. The INDEPENDENT:
l wonder how much longer the
Board Of Health is going to keep
up the farce of calling for tenders
for paiai for the Settlement Week
after week we are treated to a repe-
tition of, "Tender for paiai by Mr..
90 and so, for = months, read and
referred to the Superintendent OF
the Settlement" until it has become
30 stale as to be absolutely nauseat-
ing. 1t looks very much like "play-
ing to the gallery;" or an attempt
to make the public believe that
strenuous efforts we're being made
to obtain a supply of food for the
people here, when it was really
nothing more than a show.
As far as Mr., G. b. r. or, as he is
sometimes styled, the Gear, is con-
cerped, it is the pretty general
opinion here, that as long as he can
succeed in blocking it, no paiai con-
tract will be- made. How much
longer he will be able to keep up
his little game, remains to be seen.
Another move in the cameo bluff
has lately been made, in the build
ing OF q so-oalled psiai factory at
Kalawso; though where the taro is
coming from to run it, is mystery
which I think will taxa wiser
head than that of Gar r 'ynolds to
solve. ~ ~.

Landor and His Wife.

Landor's domestic unhappiness was
too well known to be ignored, and 1
have known him refer to the circum-
stance occasionally, but l never heard
him utter word of blame. He said
merely that life was rendered impos-
sible to him in Italy" l have heard
him regret, when contrasting other and
more congenial marriages, that he "un-
fortunately was taken by pretty
face"
Kenyon related to me an incident in
the Landor honeymoon that is signifi-
cant. On one occasion, it seems, the
newly married couple were sitting side
by side. Landor was reading some of
his own verses to his bride-and who
could read more exquisitely ?-when all
at once the lady, releasing herself from
his arm, jumped up, saying: "Oh, do
stop, Walter. There's that dear, de-
lightful Punch performing in the
street. l must look out Of the win
dow" Exit poetry forever!
Landor gave me a characteristic ac-
count Of his parting from his family.
''There was no quarrel" he said, but
he had resolved in his own mind to
leave his home. The evening before, it
seems, he had said, Mrs. Landor, will
you allow me the use of your carriage
tomorrow morning to take me the first
stage out of Florence?" The request
was accorded, no further words passed
between this i'll assorted couple, "and
so the next day | left forever" said

When Napoleon Was Happy.

Here is briefly what Napoleon said
in response to the question what or
when had been the very happiest mo-
ment of his life:
1t was not when he had attained to
the consulship, nor was it when he was
proclaimed emperor and crowned with
the most brilliant and imposing ceremo-
nies and the most gratifying honors ev-
er bestowed upon sovereign, nor was
it at either of his marriages or at the
birth of his son, the king of Rome, the
long desired heir to his throne and the
supposed perpetuation of his dynasty.
1t was earlier in his life than any of.
these events had occurred. 1t was
when, at the age Of 25, as the victorious
commander of the army in Italy, he
heard the shout Of joy from the people
In praise and honor of him, their lib
orator.
Napoleon's highest happiness was in
the joy he experienced in bringing hap
piness to others and before the gall of
selfishness had imbttered his future
career of greatness.

Rough ShOd,

Sir Walter Scott, in his "Hstory of
Scotland" tells tale of a highland
chief, one of the Macdonalds of Ross,
which is worth repeating. This worthy
had robbed of the little she possessed a
poor widow, who, in her despair, ex-
claimed that she would demand justice
from her sovereign If she Jared all the
way to Edinburgh on foot. "It is a
long Journey" cried the robber "and,
that you may make it more comfort
ably, l will have you shod." And he
sent for smith, whom he compelled
to nail pair of shoes to the wretched
woman's feet, just as horseshoes are
fastened.
But the widow was keen witted. As
soon as her wounds permitted her to
set forth she hetook herself to Edin-
burgh and, obtaining admission to the
presence of James l, informed him of
the cruel treatment she had undergone.
The king, justly angry, ordered the ar
rest of Macdonald and of IL of his
principal adherents and caused iron
soles to be nailed to their feet. Thus
equipped, they were exposed to the pub
lie for three days and then executed.

as he had sat the first Sunday of his ar
rival there, gazing at the pretty face of
Cissy TriXit in the pew opposite him
and wondering who she was. Again
he saw the startled, awakened light
that came into her adorable eyes, the
faint blush that suffused her cheek as
she met his inquiring gaze and the con-
scious, half conceited, half girlish toss
of her little head as she turned her eyes
away, and then a file of brown China

gibberish, interposed between them.
This was followed by what seemed to
be the crashing in of the church roof,
sitting heat succeeded by long,
deadly chill. But he knew that this

struggle to his feet to see Cissy's face

FulhIlnent,

There was a man who worked all day
And sat up late at night,
And toiled and planned and schemed away
To gain the dizzy height;
He longed to have the right to stand
High Ger the crowd and hear men say,
AS, looking up, they saw him there:
How great he is, how grand!'
At last, when he was bent, when care
And toll had marred his visage, when
The mold of time was on his hair,
He stood high up o'er other men,
And, listening, heard the passers-by
Say, lightly: what queer old guy"
