The past has been the most quiet week we
have known since New Years. We attribute
it to the fact that our mechanics and artizans
are very busy at their various labors, and the
farmers and gardeners have work from early
till late, the pleasant weather and’lateness of
the season urging them to economize time.

to the horse’s discomfort.

for Monday evening, May 12th, as “business
of importance is to be transacted.” What
the “important business" is we have as yet
been unable to learn, but as the so—called
Greenback party of this place is breathing
its last, maybe the meeting is intended for a
sort of funeral. “What was it begun for, .so
soon to be done for."
Thomas Merrill, of this place, had a nar—
row escape from serious injury, on Wednes—
day last. He was waiting on a customer in
East Bridgeport, when a runaway team
attached to a heavy wagon came dashing
along and collided with him, demolishing one
of the wheels of his wagon and injuring the
others more or less. Mr. Merrill was thrown
out of the front part of his wagon and over
his horse’s back to the ground, and strange
to say was not injured in the least, but the
damage to his wagon will amount to about
twenty d .;llars. ’

that the bridegroom intended that they
should not. The ceremony was performed

the western rivers, a steamboat pilot blun-
dered into a false channel and found him-
self land-lockcd. For a time he was loath
to admit the misguidance, and kept assuring
the captain that there was “a way out.” At
last the situation became too obVIous for
denial. The pilot was driven to’acknowl-
edge his bad steering. “Captain,” he said,
"there is a way out; but I guess we Will have

Life on the Sandwich Islands.
001- C. H. Judd, Secretary to King Kala-
kaua, of the Hawaiian Islands, is stying at
the Union Square Hotel, the guest of Wm.
N. Armstrong, both being sons of pioneer
missionaries to the Sandwich Ileds and
also old schoolmates of King Kalakaua. Mr.
Judd’s father was G. P. Judd, M. D.. who
went to the Islands as a missionary in 1828
and soon afterwards became the adviscrcf
the King and the chiefs. He organized the
finances of the Government and was Minister
of Finance almost to the , time of his death,
about 1867. The Rev. Dr. William Arm-
strong, of Pennsylvania, went out as a mis-
sionary in 1831 and remained at the mission
until 1848, when King Kamehameha induced
him to become Minister of» Public Instruc—
tion, a place he held until his death in 1859.
Almost his first act was to establish a private
school for the education- of the children of
the chiefs and of the ofilcers of the Gavern-
ment of foreign birth. Classmates together
at this school were King Kalakaua, the
dowager Queen Emma and the three previous
kings, and besides Colonel Judd and Mr.
Armstrong, their brothers, Albert Judd, at
present Chief-Justice of the Hawaiian Su-
preme Court, and General Armstrong, who is
at the head of the colored school at Hampton,
Virginia. William N. Armstrong, in a recent
conversation, gave many particulars concern-,
ing the growth of commerce and society in
the Islands and Mr. Judd’s mission to this
country. -
Col. Judd was reared and educated at the
Islands, while Mr. Armstrong, like most ’of
the sons of the missionaries, was sent to the
United States and educated at Yale. He
relates that when he visited the Islands, 9.
year ago, for the first time in twenty-five
years, he entered the Court House at Hono—
lulu one day and found two graduates of
Yale sitting as judges, while the Attorney-
Gcneral was a Harvard man, and the counsel
for the defence was from Yale. Alumni of
Yale, Harvard, and Union Colleges were.
among the spectators. Colonel Judd, who
was staff officer of the proceedingfing, was
appointed Chamberlain to Kalak‘aua. This
places him in'charge of the crown lands
rented out to tenants, who contribute a large
share of the King’s income, the Legislature
voting him only $22,000 a year. He super-
intends the personal affairs business of the
King. He has come to the United States
mainly on personal business, including the
purchase Of several flue Kentucky trotting
horScs, intended for his large herd farm on
the Island of Oahu, where he has a drove of
short-horn cattle imported from California.
The reciprocity treaty with the United
States, Mr. Armstrong thinks, has been of
great advantage to the Hawaiian Islands, as
well as of greatbenefit to the Pacific Coast,
which has received the entire crop of sugar
of the Islands, and could dispose of three
times as much. The exports of the Islands
have nearly quadrupled in three years, con—
sisting of machinery and supplies, which in
value offset the sugar importations to the
-coast. The most valuable sugar lands on the
Islands have been taken up and planted in
cane. A large majority of the planters are
foreigners, principally Americans, in great
part the sons of missionaries. The sugar is
of a superior quality, the juice being very
clear and as if it were already partly refined.
Mr. Armstrong thinks there are not enough
sugar lands on the Islands to make them a
very important factor in the sugar industry
of the world.
Business betwecn thmlands of the group'
has greatly increased. Five years ago there
was only one stgamer in the inter-island
trade. Now there are six, and two more are
being built. The present population of thé
Islands is 52,000 natives and 7,000 foreigners.
From present appearances the native popula—
tion, which is gradually disappearing, will
become extinct in about fifty years. When
Dr. Armstrong took the census twenty-five
years ago. there were 77,000 natives. The
problem being solved is whether the natives
can live side by side with the Anglo-Saxon
race. Tthe native is generally indolent, and
without business habits of any kind. For-
eigners are getting possession of the lands,
and control all the business of the Islands,
and are slowly pushing the natives to the
wall.
The demand for laborers on the sugar
plantationshas led to the importation of
Chinamen. At present the natives show no
hostility toward them. 'It has been a source
of trouble. that they have come without wives,
as in California. The Government and the
press are discussing’the question of supplying
these Chinese with wives from China, but it
the Chinese emigrants are of the very lowest
class of Chinese. The foreign society of the
capital, Honolulu, consists of about 2,500 to
3,000 Americans, English, French and Ger-
mans. who are disposed to be clannisli, on
account of the rather important diplomatic
establishments, Ambassadors, Ministers and
Consuls forming centres for as many differ-
ent society groups. There is always a large
number of men of-war of different nations
in port. Those who move in official society
are in the main persons of education and
refinement who have seen a great deal of the
world. At the King’s reception manners are
very courtly, and the company is often
accomplished and brilliant. The King is one
of the few monarchical rulers who have had
a business training, having practiced law
before he became a sovereign. He is making
efiorts to elevate the people,a‘nd endeavoring
to introduce improved methods of agriculture.
King Kalakaua is an eager reader of French
and English magazines and newspapers, and
carefully studies The United States Patent
Ofice Gazette, in which patents are fully
illustrated.
Mr. Armstrong permitted the fOIIOWing
extract to be made from an autograph letter
written by the King to him in February last:
“I have interested myself very much in
reading your articles in “The Southern
Workman,” especially the one on the preju-
dice of color. While the white folks openly
show their dislike of the colored races, the
colored races conceal their dislike,but exhibit
it in another form, and should you continue
the articles you should add that the Kanakas
(native Hawaiians) show their dislike and
prejudices in another form. As for instance,
they call the white folks a haole, which being
interpreted means a white pig or a white hog.
So when Captain Cook first landed here,
being white he was immediately set down as
belonging to the grunting species. This may
be irreverent to the white folks and to those
who keep up the prejudice of color, but they
are the facts with the Kanakas, and when
their passions are a little aroused in dispute
wiIh the whites here, they very frequently
make the remark: “Ka ! Kalli haole pupuka
incl—ughl what an ugly white pig.”
“Speaking ofprejudicc against color, al—
though we are very dark as a race, we have
the same repugnance to the negro race that
whites have, and I attribute it more to the
difference in species than to anything else.
Aloha mn' loa (the greatest affection for you.)

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a Safe, we wish to call your
our Safes possess over all otlitxs, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
1st. Our “PATENT INSIDE BOLT WORK”
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely. by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oiLor clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our “PATENT HINGED CAP” cOnsists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a. thumb-screw,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank Safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Locus on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
4th. All our Safes are IRON-Liam) INSiDr,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
w ter in our filling without danger of the
Sn e’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the very hard. nature of our filling, pre -
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and wflhout inside
doors. In the great Boston-fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a. complete list of our Safes exposed,those that
that were successful, and 'for months chal—
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
Safes, and our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a. Safe better than ever before,
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a. safe to keep that which may
have cost a. lifetime to accumulate, the best is‘
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.
