ii'f he Republican. When u man of superior strength
Mveaker man. the. latter is justified by law and right in
.j? himself. When Stevens advanced on Cill who was
.leaded behind a chair with a pistol in his hand, he should have
coned on the consequences, for Gill had to shoot or bo thrash
like a cur, and he sensibly did the former. But there is a
.leer side to the story. If the young ladies mentioned in the
fides in the Republican -vere respectable, and there is no doubt

JVhlle the Honolulu Republican is a bright ami readable paj
yet it is to be sincerely hoped that it will not rep vat
ly and uncalled for attacks on innocent and defenceless
ies who visit tho Islands. While it may be sport to the
Uleath to the frogs, to
uiid that a young lady's name should appear only twice in
ut, the first on the occasion of her birth, and the second
Mg her marriage. This

i Tho beautiful tradition of tho Hawaiiaus dhat tho Islands ave
convulsed with storms at the death of every great and beloved
' nliiis receiving a startling comtirmation at present. The relations
tbot ween England and the Islands have always been very close and
cordial,' and uo foreign sovereign was so much loveu and revered
by the Islanders as Queen Victoria. That tho news of her death
should be accompanied by the present storm will more strongly

When I was younger, a few thought

happened like this:
"I had charge of the men's furnish

and the pay being first rate and
chance of promotion excellent I was
naturally anxious to hold on to the
lob. One mornhig, however, I was
feeling all out of scu ts and was just
developing an ugly heivdaclie, when
a niau caine in and asked to see some

you've been accustomed to wear.
Just then I happened to look up and
caught sight of a floorwalker stand
ing in a rear aisle- and making
frantic gestures to me with his hands
!'If you'll wait a moment,' I said
to tho customer,, wondering win

"Great Scott, man,' he whispered,
that's the boss!'
"The store, as I should havo ex
plained, was the southern branch of
a New York establishment, and: dur

head of the firm had never before
paid it a visit in person. G6nsequetly
I didn't know him by sight, and my
blood ran cold when. I' realized how
hopelessly I had rammed my foot in
to it. During the next five seconds
I did some (juick thinking, and among
thcr things that came crowding
into my mind was the fact that the
boss had been married only a short j
time before. That gave me an idea..
I'm going back, I whispered it,
the floorwalker, and in a minuto or
two you send one of the boys to nie
with a piece of folded letter paper.
"What are you up to? he asked.
"Nevermind, said L You do ex

The " Reworded M Bible.
Dr. Hayman, an English divine,
not content with the St. James Bible
nor yet with the revised version, has
prepared a "reworded" version of
parts of the New Testament. This
latest attempt to "tinker" the Scrip
vui "s apiear9 to bo meeting with a
very cold reception. Indeed it in
volves no bias of opinion to say that
an examination of the reworded
Testament and a comparison of it
with the. St. James version readily
shows the inadequacy and weakness
of the new attempt. A few speci
men passages will be interesting
hci-i The well-meant purpose of
Dr. Hayinan. is to prcsont the Scrip
tures in a form of words more intel
ligible to the masses than the ruggr d
and often archaic diction of the tran
slation of 1011.
For instance, St. Paul's sentence,
"For that he is dead is free from
sin," is rendered, For the dead to
sin is enfranchised from its pewer."
All day long I have stretched forth F
my hands unto a disobedient and
gainsaying people" is changed into,
"All day long I stretch forth my
hands toward a peoplo refractory
and recusant." Paul's entreaty to
to tho Christians at Corinth becomes
."Exchange a kiss of sanctity
one another," iustcad of "Greei one
another with a holy kisB,"" '
St. Paul says, in the old Version:
"So fight I not as.cai- that beateth
the air. Jktt T kept uhdev my body
anlcVring it into subiectio a;'lest that
by any means, when Triple preached
unto others,. I myself should be a
castaway."' This befellows:
"I accordingly so run as if I meant
to winj and' so plr.nt my hits not as
idly sparring; bu' I' nit home at my
own fleshy frair.e, and I tame it into
subjection; for fear I who proclaim
:the contest tb others should come to
;te rejected ;nyself.
A Big GraashopueiV
A geographical expedition which
et out for Australia from' Boston on
an exploring and mapmaking tour
had engaged a negro cook, who took
rcat interest in everything he saw.
While the party was en route a kan
garoo broke out of the grass and
made for the hori;:on with prodigious
leaps, an event that interested the
colored gentleman from the' Hub ex
ceedingly.
''You all have pretty wide mead
ows hereabouts: I rekons, he said
to the native who was guiding the
party.
"Not any larger than those of
other countries," returned the guide
politely.
'"Well' there' must be a mighty
powerful' high grass roundabouts,
heh?" he insisted.
"Not that I knew of," replied the
guide. "Why do you ask Buch odd
questions? 1
V. hy, i ll tell you, noss. 1 was
