COAST GOLDEN ROD.

imperial beauty, with thy glowing plurnes
Tossing and waving in the salty air
Queen of the sea-uprising from the waves
Like old-time Venus with her golden hair,
Shaken in vain By every sudden storm,
Torn rudely by the bitter autumn gale,
Still do thy blazing torches proudly stand
AS beacons, reckoning to the far-off sail.
From the tall cliff thy hardy blossoms
bend,
Watching the white ships as they come
and go
Like tender ghosts of many a sad farewell
From those we loved and lost but yearn
for so.
Tell me, brave golden rod, art thou content
To dwell all lonely by the dreary main
While thy sweet inland sisters bloom In
peace
In sheltered nook or sunny western plain?
Swift comes the answer to my waiting soul,
Borne on faint echoes from the restless
sea:
I'm nothing but a simple flower of earth,
Willing to bloom where God has planted

ONE MACHINE GUN.
Properly Worked Is Equal In Enect
to TWO Hundred Rifles We'll
Handled.

The destructive power of the ma
chine gun as compared TO the small
arm even in large numbers has been
the subject Of interesting trials
abroad, ports Of which have reached
the navy department here, says the
baltimore sun.
That one machine gun properly and
effectively worked is equal to 200 rifles
in the hands of as many soldiers has
been amply demonstrated. Each shot
from the machine gun works greater
injury also to the body struck than the
small bullet Of the army rifle, and its
range is far greater.
In recent trials 80 marksmen were
chosen to compete with the Hotch
kiss eight-miIlmetcr gun, which has
lately been widely adopted in France
and Germany, The ranges fired werc
from 100 10 500 yards. At 500 yards the
90 riHcmen, each having five rounds in
depcudently, obtained "a hits, or %.
per cent. of the number Of rounds
fred, Thirty-two men were then
chosen from among the 50, and these
had to fire each eight rounds in 80
seconds. Under these conditions "a,
or 1879 per cent. of the rounds ex,
pended, were recorded,
The machine gun was then brought
into action, and in Is seconds fred eli
bullets, making AS hits. 1t was
shown from the results that the ma
chine gun was far ahead in hits made
and rapidity of fire, No such practical
tests Of the relative merits of the ma,
chine gun and a number of small arms
have been made before,

His Majesty Mutsuhito, emperor Of

RARE STAMP OF CIVIL WAR.
Chicago MIN Possesses n Valuable
One That IL of Interest to All

While there are undoubtedly hun

lists, Robert Moeller, of 400 Austin
avenue, thinks he has in his posses
sion one of the rarcst Of all, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean. Mr.. Noel
ler's curiosity is a United States
especial value consists in the fact
that it went through the war of the
rebellion.
The post Office facilities were not
always of the best with the armies
in the field at that time, as many "A
Chicago man and woman can very
clearly recall. When letters were
mailed from the front in those times
it often happened that the only can
ceiling apparatus at hand for the

the way the stamp in Mr., Moeller's
possession was cancelled. Across it's
face is written "T. A. r., % Dec,
ls63." The letters stand for "The
Army of the Potomac"
Mr.. Moeler thinks that his stamp
is very valuable, and in view of the
prices that have prevailed for Ger
tain stamps in late years it probably
is. Some OF the English one and two
cent stamps are now selling for as
much as 500 and 5000 apiece, and
American stamps used by the army

recent Spanish war are being sold at

knowing there was more to come,
but making a pretense of turning out

THE MURPHY UNION.

It was the misfortune of the Murphy
Club to have started wrong in the mat
ter of expenses. Rooms at high rental
were leased and nothing was too
good" for the organization. Under its
new and wiser management, the Club
or Union as it is now called, has cut
down the monthly rental from 800 to
$50 and is shaping it's general scheme
of outlay in the same economical fash
ion There will be no splurge and no
humbug-nothing but hard work and
plain living in the cause of Gospel tenn
perance.
To guard against financial mishaps,
Theodore Richards has become trustee
for the Union and will look after its
property interests. The needs of the
organization are not so much cash as
furniture and other utilities required
in the new headquarters, Queen Emma
Hall. The final business object is to
become self-supporting. We have no
doubt that, if this plan succeeds, Ho-
nolulu will get substitutes for the
saloon that will do a work of genuine
reform in the community, giving the
social attractions of the well-regulated
saloon without the alcohol.
This being the case the moral element
in Honolulu can do no better than tC
help the Francis Murphy Temperance
Union in every feasible way.
