The natives have collected in groups,
reclining on mats in front Of the few
principal houses in the village the Gig
arctic is passed from one to another,
and to the stranger unacquainted with
their language some grave matter is be-
ing discussed but it is not so; it is the
preparations of an orange-rum feast,
and the Hula Hula that hold their atten-
ton. Presently, two or three Europe
ans, bringing large casks with them,
join the assembly; in short time ten
or fifteen hogsheads are collected, and
the women and the, young people are
detailed to gather the oranges on the
morrow. These casks are taken perhaps
two or three miles up the valley, until
the most unfrequented spot is reached,
where they are filled with the juice of
the orange, holes are dug, and the casks
are buried for two days, by which time
the liquor is fermented and ready for
use. On the third day the young people
of the neighboring districts, an assem-
bly, of from eighty to one hundred males
and females, proceed TO the scene of the
revel. 1t is midday; in a shady spot,
where the tropical underground has
been cleared all are seated in a ring.
Here is girl hardly thirteen years old,

another portion of this circle is an
American, formerly sailor on board a
whale ship; his daughter, too, If mis-
take not, mixes in this assembly, and
the natives closing the ring are mixed
with the refuse of civilization. The
liquor is passed into tubs, and each per-
son is provided with half cocoanut
shell, the scene of debauchery and
drunkenness is inaugurated; and in less
than half an hour gallon or more is
drank by each one of the assembly.
The scene changes, and it Is eighty or
one hundred demons that are before US.
Every particle of dress is thrown aside
and the obscene Hula-Hula dance is
commenced; more hquor is drank, and
the revel has fairly reached its summit.
At times the scene is diversified by q
fight for the possession of one of the
fair daughters of the Isle. Night closes
on sight far too horrid to describe, far
too disgusting to write upon.


During the orange season, which lasts
from February to July, the orange feasts
are of frequent occurrence in all the
districts round the island, and it may be

Friends, when you think am like to die,
Carry me where the sea is roaring;
There. ON my last bed, let me lie
And list to the long wave landward pouring


Beating, beating,


And ever repeating
The cry it cried, when it first was hurled,


With myriad shock,


On the barrier-rocks
In the very birthday Of the world.
And If 1 could die within sounds of the sea
The voices of all who e'er loved and knew
me,
To mingle with hers, who Is dearest to me,
Its murmur would bring-to sleep to woo
me


Throbbng, throbbing,


And plaintivcly sobbing,
As erst it sighed when the night and morn


Had faded away

In how deep a sleep, from the vain endeavor
Of longing and life. could rest me-if
The sea its wild lullaby sang forever.

And still repeating
The cry it cried, when it first was hurled.


With myriad shocks,

From gentleman just from the scene of the
occurrence we learn the following particulars of
a tragic affair that took place in the neighbor-
hood of Robertsville, Anderson county, result
ing in mortally wounding mannamed Sam
Collins by Mr.. Davis:


The two men had a difficulty the day before
at pasture which belonged to Davis and q
6rother-in-law of his by the name of Peake.
They all had stock in the field and it seems that
on account of having either purchased light to
Craze his stock or something of the kind that
Collins had an equal right with the others. At
all events he claimed the right and was de-
termined to exercise it and on Tuesday armed
himself with stones, it is said for the purpose of
resisting Davis, but difficulty was ayerted.


On Wednesday morning Collins went to the
pasture field and commenced letting down the
fence prepafatory to driving his stock in, when
Davis came up and told him he should not mt
his stock in again. He had driven them out
bringing the animals there. He paid no at
tention to Davis warning but went on letting
down the fence, when Davis turned around and
went into his house, which was only short dis
tance of, and came out with double barreled
shotgun which he aimed at Collins and emp
tied both barrels in his body, one load entering
his breast and the other in his bowels.


The wounded man was taken home and was
alive on Wednesday evening, though not ex'
pected to recover He was attended Dy Dr
Henry Sineknecht. But little excitement was
manifested over the tragedy. Collins was con-
sldered rather loose character. DAVIS was
very gentlemanly person, though OF very high
temper when aroused. v

The Ouachita Telegraph, speaking of public
opinion, says:


care the men who destroyed it, the proper
persons to restore it3 Can we build up par
ty on corruption and notorious misrule? Can
we save the State by elevating to Office the
men who have designedly and purposely led
us into trouble? Are the people dogs that they
should do thisl We tell the Times, No a
thousand times, No? Not only are there polit-
ical reasons forbidding such step, but there
are high moral grounds which cannot be dis
regarded, that forbid it with every good citi-
zen in the State, unless his moral creed has
been greatly altered in two years. There is,
at this time, public apathy, superinduced by
forgetfulness of what the bad men in the State
have done, that invites insiduous schemes of
bargain and sale with these bad men; but
when the situation shall be analyzed thor
oughly and the evil deeds of politicians m
earthed, as they inevitably will be on the
stump and in the press, the hideous phase of
evil communication will drive the people to
loathing and disgust, and to hopeless apathy
or supreme exertion to be free forever of
corrupt and corrupting influences. The slo-
gans of Reform, Expediency and Police will
not drown the "still, small voice" in every
good citizens heart that will admonish him
that an alliance with dishonest men, in the
distribution of places of honor and trust, is
wrong. Common prudence will tell him that
a man to be trusted must never have betrayed
a trust; that verbal or written guarantees
from such All individual are wholly insuffi-
cient: that faith is shown by work and that
sincerity in good causy requires no pay
ment in advance.
