The Honolulu Gazette publishes the
following account of recent difficul
ties in Ovalau :
"The great topic of conversation
here, and one which, to my mind, is
of paramount importance, is the pies
ent warlike aspect of the natives: not
as yet toward the white population,
but among themselves. At the back
of this island, and only a few miles
from the beach, Is a powerful tribe
known as the Zicvoni. On the north
end of the island reside another tribe,
both being tributary to Thakombau.
These two tribes appear to have had
some differences, and had fought, the
particulars of which were made
known to the king by a chief named
Cornelius. Upon obtaining this in
formation, Thakombau sent over to
the Levoni men, requesting them to
desist from lighting. Tho reply was
that they would kill the individual
who had informed him of their do
ings, and Avho they soon found out to
be Cornelius. I should state that up
to this time the people of all tribes in
Ovalau had professed Christianity,
and Cornelius was said to be a most
exemplary and pious man, well
known to the missionaries as a native
teacher. Nevertheless, upon Corne
lius making his appearance among
them, he was instantly clubbed, hit
body mutilated and then interred.
Two days after his interment the body
was exhumed, in accordance with ah
old native custom, and a "man oven"
wjis constructed and heated with red
hot stones. Into this the body of
poor Cornelius was thrust and baked
like a pig. And then a barbarian feast
was held by these beastly cannibals,
who devoured every portion of the
remains, picking the bones clean, aud
reserving them as trophies. But this
only whetted their appetite for hu
man llesh-, and they mado another
onslaught on their neighbors at the
north end of the island, and have
killed, I understand, about thirty, all
of whom it is believed have been eat

and is a chief of great renown (the
present owner of the yacht Xarifaj
having some antiiathy to Thakom
bau, takes the part it Is said, of the
Bevoni cannibals, and has supplied
them with powder, ball and muskets.
Meanwhile Thakombau, with the
chivalry which is characteristic of
those powerful Fiji chiefs, sent to the
Levoni to tell them to put un their
war-fences, and to build their forts, as
it was his intention, so soon as he got
his army together, to come over to
them and fight them. His majesty is
now making vast preparations for
this assault. Almost every day, from
remote parts of his domains, war ca
ll oca full of fighting men are arriving
at Levuka, and taking up their resi
dences at the native villages ; and
there must now be some thousands of
them congregated here. Fighting,
indeed, has actually commenced.
The Levoni are said to be escoused in
an impregnable fortification, upon a
rock. Yet it is also said they believe
they will.be vanquished by Thakom
bau, who no doubt will overcome
them and put to death all the ring
leaders, making prisoners of the rest,
who, it is anticipated, will be sold to
tho planters. It must be remarked
that lheae Fiji belligerents are fully
armed with muskets, (many breach
loaders of the newest pattern) and re
volvers, besides their spears and clubs,
and arc most excellent shots. But
they are not drilled, and their war
fare is purely of the guerrilla kiud."

During a lucid interval he made the

At Brussels he gave the pigeons in

AN EliECTIUC JOIE.
Some weeks ao, one of those ille
gitimate sons of science, tho vagrant
electric men, opened out in the street,
with his dial for testing how much
torture his voluntary victims could
stand. To stimulatetrade, he kept a
standing offer of $o to whoever could
stand as much electric fluid a3 the
machine would furnish. One day a
boy presented himself aud announced
that he had come to win that five dol
lars. The man handed him the han
dles, aud started the machine. The '
boy stood it wonderfully. The oper
ator turned the crank faster, and ask
ed the boy how it felt. The boy said
it did not feel at all. The man thought
something must bo the matter, aud
commenced an elaborate tightening
up of screws, and then, commenced
another series of revolutions, which
ought to have produced a current suf
ficient to kill the boy ; still he laugh
ingly assured the fellow that he did
nwu t,vwn-iit;iiee uiosiigmesi sensation.
Out of patience, the man demanded
to see the hands, and the secret was
explained. Tho boy bejonged to the
telegraph ofliee, and had picked up a
piece of insulated wire now being put
up inside the office, and had passed it
up one sleeve of his coat, around his
shoulders, and down the other sleeve,
and then uncovered the ends of the
wire iu each hand. Thus armed h
In the morning when within fif
teen miles of Providence, I noticed a
beautiful villa on tho western shore
of Narragausctt Bay. A fine pier ran
into tiie water.
"Who owns that place?" said I to
a Providence man.
"Sprague."
Just before reaching Providence a
beautiful yacht passed us. She skim
med over "the water as graceful as a
swan.
"There goes the fastest yacht in
these waters," said the Providence
man.
"Who owns her?"
"Sprague."
On landing, I stepped into a horse
car. It was very light, neat and
clean.
"I am glad to see that there is one
company in the United States that
knows how to run a horse railroad,"
said I to my Providence friend.
"This is hot owned by a company.
All the railroads in this city are run
by one individual."
"Who is that public benefactor?"
"Sprague."
On the way up town a number of
large trucks, each drawn by four
black horses, passed us. On the sides
of the trucks L, read the words,
"Sprague Mowing Machine Compa
ny." In the Main street of the town a
number of trucks loaded with dry
goods boxes passed us. Tho trucks
were labeled, "Sprague's Print
Works."'
"Let us take a walk up Hope
street, said my Providence friend.
Hope street was lined with aristo
cratic mansions. One princely resi
dence, with extensive grounds, hot
house aud stables, threw them all in
tho shade. Of course 1 enquired :
"Who owns this place ?"
"Sprague."
"While driving out to Naragnnsett
Park we passed a large factory sur
rounded by several streets of cosy
white houses, all' built alike.
"Those houses were built by one
man for his workmen to live in."
"Who is It that cares eo much for
the workingmen?"
"Sprague."
Arriving at tho park, my friend
called my attention to a long row of
substantial, handsome stables.
"Here," snid he, "all horses intend
ed to participate iu the races are kept
free of expense."
"Who does this hospitable thing?"
"Sprague."
"Now step into the grand stand,
and look over the finest race track
and surroundings in the world."
"Who has douo all this?"
"Sprague."
Just then the bell rang to summon
the horses for a trot. Out came Hen
ry, Hotspur, Elmo and Rhode Island.
They were all beauties. Rhode Is
land was tho handsomest. His skin
shone like black satin. He was full
of electricity.
"Who owns Rhodo Island?"
"Sprague."
I now thought I had a sure thing.
I bet all nrry money. Surely the
hotel' that would win that race would
be Sprague's.
Rhode Island lost the horse that
came in last was Sprague's.

KEVOLTITIOX IS THE IIAHiHOAD
SYSTEM.
The finest engineering talent in the
world has been for years busy in the
andeavor to solve that difiicuife preb
lem in railroading, "What can be
done to reduce the "dead weight" of
rolling stock V."
The American Master Mechanic's
Association, which met in Philadel
phia last year, had a number of papers
read before-them on this all impor
tant question, and the discussions
which ensued upon the point were
among the most interesting of the
proceedings. Since that time (and
probably The germ was planted dur
ing the meetings), the pro3 of the
country have been busy in discussing
the same question, and it has now be
come a settled fact that the remedy
only lies in what is known as the
"narrow gauge."
Mr. Spooner, engineer of the Fes
liniog Railway, in Wales, was tho
first man that built such a narrow
road, connecting the slate quarries
of Festiniog with Port Madoc, thir
teen miles distant, and having car
ried it to a success, expresses the opin
ion that a 2J or 3 feet gauge is amply
sufficient lor the transaction of all or
dinary railroad business.
The common railway gauge of ifeet
S inches is far beyond what is neces
sary for the ordinary requirements of
either freight transportation or local
travel.
In Europe a number of these "nar
row gauges" have been constructed,
as is instanced by the system in Nor
way, where the gauge is 3 feet G inch
es ; in Russia, where lines are in oper-
the Broel
31 inches;
the Mondalazac RraiJroad in France,
29 inches, aud many others, all f
them built after a thorough and im
partial investigation on the subject,
the point of the controversy beiugnot
only a saving in the original cost, but
an after increased dividend to stock
holders in the operation of the road
Very high authority in railroad
matters has come to the conclusion
that every inch added to the width of
a gauge, beyond what is absolutely
necessary for the traffic, adds to the
cost of construction, increases the cost
of working, and in consequence re
duces the useful effect of the railway.
It is estimated that the great ex
press passenger trains of the country,
with their cumbrous drawing room
and palace cars, transport 3,000 pounds
of dead weight per passenger. An
increased beyond anything ever be
fore witnessed during those trouble
some limes. Mr. Yancey arose, and
in a calm, dignified and self-poised
manner peculiarly his own, commenc
ed his reply. He described Mr. Hill
as repeating slanders that had been
uttered against him for the past twen
ty years ; and that all which Mr.
Hill had uttered, had been suiri innu
merable times before by every third
rate polititcian in the country; and
continued by saying, "nature, had
designed the Senator from Georgia as
pn imitator; that ho had been cast in
a certain die, and that it was vain to
attempt to enlarge his dimensions."
Pallid with rage, Mr. Hill mounted
to his feet, and seizing a heavy glass
inkstand, hurled it with all" of his
might and power at the head of Mr.
Yaucey, which, grazing iiis forehead,
plowed its way to the skull ar.u pass
ed on its turious course, craning a
heavy window-facing beyond. With
out turning his head, Mr. Yancey,
who was at the time addressing the
Speaker, continued his speech, delib
erately remarked, "it is always the
prerogative r.f cowards to strike from

MUIU'S TIIE WORD.
(From tbc Savannah Itepublican.)
We think wo see the sigus of an
early and acrimonious agitation on
Federal politics by the boulliern
press. We regret this, and on sever
al accounts. The first is, that we con
sider it unnecessary. Every man in
the South holds substantially the same
srntiments regarding the political sit
uation, and therefore it is unnecessa
ry. In tho second place, agitation
implies that there are material difler
enccsof opinion when there are not,
and is obliged to result in harm. In
the third place, the people need quiet,
and should be kept free from all ex
citement on public affairs. There is
not the slightest danger of their vot
ing away their liberties, unless they
are looked after and kept in a fer
ment, as some politicians seeintosup
pose. The people are all right, aud
will remain so if left to themselves.
Fourthly, the South can now influ
ence nobody by political discussion,
except against herself. The very fact
that we mark out a line for the Gov
ernment will be sufficient to put the
Northern people against it. Master
ly inactivity is our true policy. The

IL was a big time in poker. The first
man flung out his hand all wild, and
SKid in a bantering way to the other :
"Now show out! VVhere are you ?
"What have you got?
"When the first man saw this oth
er invincible ilush he turned as white
as the other man. lie thought he
had mistaken his hand and had lost
the count on a card. lie turned it up
ond lluug it out, and there they were
both tho same.
"Immedirtely there was a great
roar of laughter all around the table;
it was wonderful to see how these two
men behaved. The man who had
turned his cards down fathomed the
joke in a minute, and rushing around
"the table to tho other fellow, put his
hands around his neck, kissed him
aud called him "Johnny."
"Tho man Johnny rose up and de
nounced the world, cards, everybody
wanted to light, and was as crazy
as he had been before the hands were
shown.
"Such is poker at the capital. In
lSt2 President Lincoln said to Gener
al George Stoneman: "Stoneman, I
think of giving the command of the
Army of .the Potomac to Joe IJooker.
What do you think about it?"
"Hooker is a brave man," said
Stoneman, "and has a fine presence,
but I havj seen hinrin deliberate bat
tle, and he did not impress me."
"Where?" said Mr. Lincoln.
"At ilia poker-table," said" Stone
man, "you see, if as where, a man's
whole character, his power to sustain
defeat and loss, his adroitness, his ul
timate strength or weakness. Now,
Joe Hooker was fonder of cards than
any man I ever saw, and vet he nev
er won anything. Why? Because

Woman was toasted in the follow
ing style at a recent military dinner:
"Woman pure as a snowfiake that
falls upon the cold neaks of tie Bo--
tir.n Alps ; beautiful as the houri that
bathes herself in the crystal fountains
of the Moslem paradise ; graceful as
the Peri afloat on her shell smfi' over
the calm waters of the dark blue sea ;
vain, worse than vain, the warning
to guard the heart when intellect
flashes from h-r bright eye, and the
light of the sou! is breathed like mu
sic upon her face."
A dandy of twenty-six having
oeen icrmeu vn oia oac.ueior," ap
pealed to an elderly gentleman to de
cide whether ho should be called old
or not, giving his age. "Twenty-six,"
said the elderly gentleman, "it is ow
ing to how you take it. Now, for a
man it is young enough ; but for a
goose it is rather old."
Young men who use perfumed
note paper and elaborated red and gilt
monograms, tinted cards, embroider
ed handkerchiefs and shirt fronts,
lace neckties and fancy sleeve-buttons,
must not be surprised if they are
considered effeminate and fopo3n.
