earth by an Australian convict. who had
escaped from a passing ship. With his
keener faculties, he outdid the savages
in his depravity. The coming of the
missionaries was an offence to him, and
he hated their pure teachings and plot

their goods. A school of porpoises came
into the bay, many were caught and a
great feast followed. The convict Mar

Mr.. Armstrong gave him medical attend
ance and nursing, but his miserable life
was spent. His was the first Christian
burial in those parts. The savages would
throw chicken and breadfruit into his
grave. lest the hungry soul return to tor
ment them. When the grave was well
covered, a chief stepped up and said:
why were you so kind to this man,
who would have killed you if he had
not died?" The reply, "Our God tells US
to be good to our enemies and love
them" astonished the cannibaIs, who
were in the habit of roasting their enc
mics. This practical sermon was telling
in it's effect and not another human be-
ing was served up on that island. I have
often heard my mother liken this expert
ence to Daniel in the lions den. Only
power divine could close those cruel
mouths. This distant mission station
was abandoned as a sort of forIorn
hope and the three families returned to
Hawaii. Caroline Armstrong Beckwith

night, lest the little one be spirited away
to become the queen of the Cannibal
Islands, possibly.

 But how can there be subjects and vassals in the United States? Colonel Bryan has often goaded himself into madness by ths question. But that was before his hula hula coronation Now that he is king of the Midway he may take a different view of things.

No other state but Florida has pro- duc.d an ell region that yields refined
 petroleum-the com TOO mon kerosene of PHENOMENAL commerce, all ready OIL SIGNS. to burn in lamps.
 The nature of th.s phenomenon may he explained by re- calling the circumstances connected with the discovery, some years since, of diamond fields in Arizona. The enter pdsing spectators who carefully lre- pared these fields for discovery W re a little hard up for diamonds in the rough and unpublished state, and made tn mistake of using one or two 3,ones which had evid5 ntly cen thr0uG1 lhc hands of Amsterdam lapidaries. Tie mistake of the promoters of the Flo"l Ia oil speculations has evidently been simiar. T. is we'll known Una, in spec ulative enterprises, time is a valuable would undoubtedly have been found in sufIici5nu supply, with time, to render the surface indications in the Florida region all that they should have been, it was undoubtedly difficult to obtain a large quantity of crude oil all at once In Florida. Therefore the indications had to be rendered somewhat too phe- nomenal with refined petroleum. How ever. before the discovery was made that some of this oozing largess Of na- ture. which runs in the wagon ruts, had been to northern refineries and back. some 5OO,CO0 acres Of land had changed hands. Though there is un- doubtedly too much refinement in the methods of the Fiorila specu!atoIs. they do not seem to be without re- suit.

 We do not know that Brother Rog- CTS information is true. but If it is we may easily see why d5mocratic news papers are excluded from the prison The territorial penitentlary is at the same time a punitive and reforma- tory institution.

 There is, it is true. not much in the Courier that ia demorallz' ing. but at the same time there is lit. tie more that is edifying. It is i'm portant that the short reading time oi the convicts should be employed to tn, best advantage.
