There are Chinese lawyers, loctors, merchants, and manufacturers, and many of them have a very good social standing. “The climate of the islands is the most healthful and equabie that could be lmagined.

Why the weatuaer is so equable there that nobody talks about it. The Sandwich Islander never greets you with any of those remarks about what the weather has been, isor may be, which are so commonpiace in this country. Moreover, there ts no word inthe Kanaka language for “weather.” ‘They take no account of such athing. This language is one of the softest to speak I have ever heard, and I doubt if its equal im this respect can be found. It has nearly twice as many vowels tn proportion to consonants as the Italian, and every Word ends in a vowel. In re- ducing'It to writing, Americans use only A, E, I, 0, u, ra LM, N, P and W. ‘The Hawailans have a very form of gov. ernment, and would be all right if they only had 00d vernors. The constitution is much like that of the United States, aud was drawn by an American, Judge Lee. The kimg has a cabinet, a privy council, a military staff, and a governor for each of the more important tslands. There is a house of nobles and a house of representatives to make laws. The representatives are elected by ballot, and a voter must be able to read aul write, pay his taxes, and have an income of $75 a year. One-third of the nobles and representatives are Alericans. In fact, shrewd Alnericans have a pretty big swing in the kingdom, and are almost as Influential in the palace as they are important: in trade. A good part of the sugar plantations fe owned Dy San Francisco merchants and capl- alists, and it is only a question of thae when some moneyed nabob will depose the bankrupt ruler and install himsit in the Kanaka palace.” ———~+ee. ‘What We May Have to Mieet. POWERFUL NEW NAVY FITTING OUT FOR THE BRITISH GOVERNMEXT. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. About the time when our new crulsers and gun- boats first touch salt water the British admiralty will have, fully equipped and ready for service, fleet of twenty-five armor-ciads, which will repre- sent the highest development, so far, in English ship building. Besides these, a considerable num- ver of vessels of less recent construction, but ex- eellent of their kind, like the Polyphemus, will, of course, form part of the active fleet, while others Which’ are considered as failing short of the re- quirements of the age will form & reserve force {oF the purpose of coast and harbor defense.

This may be said tohave been the turning potntin his career. He deed the government, It ordered him to publish {ts censure for a given number of days in bis own journal under a penalty of 2,000 roublesa day. This censure was worded so severely as to be directly in- sulting to him. ‘he first day fixed for its publication arrived, but the Moscow Gazette contained no bint ofthe matter. The Russian new: rs were astounded at Mf. Katkot's temerity. penalty ‘was imposed and pad for eleven days. ‘The cen- sure was not only but the government ultimately returned the fines, M. Katkoff obtained a triumph. Following clasely upon this event came the Polish revolution of 1863, Aiis prophecies were fulfilled. He was feted and flattered. Deputa- tions of students from all the universities Went to Moscow to congratulate the far-seeing politician and versatile scholar and journalist. Since that ume M.

Extraordinary Powers in the Feeble- Minded. From the Medical and Surgical Reports. Iv is a strange but well known fact that in many personswho are idiotic or but little removed from ‘the mental condition of {dlota, certain powersof the mind may be developed to an extraordipary de- gree. Remarkable precosity in the power of arithmeti- cai calculations 1s frequently combined with a positive defletency in other directions. In institu- tions devoted to the care of feeble-minded children such examples are nearly always present. Detl- clent in some faculties, others are developed voex- ess, Some such can carve and draw with great skill Extraordinary memory is often met with associated with very great defect of reasoning. Qne boy, in reading Gibbon’s “Rise and fall of the Roman Empire,” skipped a tine on the third page at his first 1." Ever after, when reciting from memory the stately periods of Gibbon, be wouid, on coming to the third page, skip the line and retrace his steps, Just as when he first re- committed the passage to inemory. Often the memory takes the form of remember. ing dates and past events. One boy never failed to tell correctly the name and address of every confectioner’s shop he had visited In London, 2nd could as readily tell the date of every visit, "The faculty of number 1g usually slightly developed tn feebie-minded” childreu, while memory is fairly well developed; yet occasionally the power of mental aritumetid has been well develoved. Im. provisation 1s an occasional faculty. Memory of tune isa very common faculty among the [ecble- minded; they readily acquire simple airs, and rarely forget them. Tn hone of the cases of idiot savants has there been any history of the possession of a similar faculty by the parents or sisters or brothers. In ‘one case a necropsy 1s reported by Dr. J. L.

Mate the time by accurate appreciation of its flux. Every forur of mental deviation may be met with in the congenital feeble-minded.

The blood that circulates in human veins is composed of nuin- bers of small corpuscles that resemble animals, and when anything poisonous gets into the blood it be comes just like starnant water, full of living animela that feed upon each other and upon the blood itself, And yet not one person in fifty is free from blood poisoning in some form.
