It rewinds one of Horace Greeley's plan for getting rid of the Canada thisthr. "Cultivate it as a garden plant, and some denied bug or other will be cure to come along and eat it." Wheat grows in but a fow places on the inlands, little valleys in the elevated plateaus. As to moisture, the climate cannot be dtacribed ia general terms. Old mideuw nay in a jocular way that m ono djstrirt the rainfall is 17 feet a year, in another 17 inchee, and in a third l-lithof an tncu. I saw places which certainly looked a, if rain had never fallen on them, la the best sugar lands irrigtiun u uocea&ary, but In many plaoes very little is required. Domestic animals thrive, a rule, especially berses, of which the native stock is very hardy and capable. It apitears to have been a case of survival of the fittest." All the tender cns wwre run to death at the start and only Che tcughest mares left posterity. Aftsr all, the great product the isianli ii the taro root, from which pei is in sdfr.

Decently prepared, however, it is quite palatable.

Duriugtny tay there King .ill was even as one of us in many an excursion, and at poi suppers it was not very uncommon to meet native Indies "got up regardless" in silk und delicate pougee done in the "tie back" btyle. and wearing the monster chignons which were the fashioa SO
years ago. Of all our pleasure excursions those to the Waikiki beach for bathiug by moonlight were tho most pleasant, and the requirement in costume were much the ame as at Long Branch. Back in the secluded distnete. however, the natives of both sexes took to the water without tho formality of putting on "suits." The Kanakas are described by scientists sä "belonging to the Polyaesian branch of tho Malay rare," which means, 1 take it that thoy aro Malays modified by long
residence uniting "many islands (polncesia). and therefore swimming is about as natural to them as walking to na. Brighain Young told me just before I left Salt Lake City that they were like the Amcncan Indians descendants of tho ancient Israelites who had "backslidden" and beea cursod and turned dark accordingly If so. thoy have slidden back a great deal further thaa they are ever likely to slide forward again. And this makes it fittiug to cross witfc a fow words ou the political question. This is not tho first time by several that Hawaii baa in a measure been revolution ired. From 16S0 or thereabouts to 1843 it was sharply contended for by various powers. In 188 the French compelled King Kamehameha HI to pay a large sum in gold and held the kingdom in duress till it wss done. The American merchants raised and paid the money, and thus saved the kingdom for the time. In 1W3 the British censnl Richard Charlton, and Lord Oeorge Paulet overthrew the kingdom in effect, compelled the king to retire to the mountain forests and raised the British flag.
HAWAIIAN EATINO FOt. The Americans, however, prevailed upon the British cabinet to annul these cts. And if Hawaii is now annexed, what? The Kanakas are about as wall qualified to run a republican government as so many school children of the intermediate grade. The boys of any Faiglish or American high nchool are ten times better qualified. The Chinese are not eves x. tVinmrVit nf as VOtCXS. Eamsllv 8
all the other dark peoples. The Portuguese are somewhat better. Evidently, if annexed. Hawaii-Kei cannot be a stats
or even a territory. The lota amenomno ha iimored from the start
