A KINGDOM IN REVOLT.

The following is taken from the San Francisco News Letter of July 26th :—: — The Sandwich Islauds is threatened with a bloody revolution, caused by the attempt to lobby a bill through the Legislutim for the establishment of the Hawaiian National Bank — an institution which would have owned the kingdom and the Kanakas, body ami breeches. The levolt is led by the venerable John Thomas Watcrhouse, n wealthy Eng lish merchant, whose British blood is fired with indignation at this at tempt to steal a match upon the too confiding red men of the isle"!. Yea. the grim god of war staUvS about tluoughout Hawaii nei ; the fiery poieaters are burnishing their swords in the tiopical sun, and the white biavea lobeil in silvci fimged malos, ate fiercely anaymg themselves in wai -paint and featheis. The signs aie really ominous, and the " sand lotteis," as the opposition is called by the Government, mean busi ness. Several huge public meetings have been held, inilammatoiy poke's, in English and Hawaiian, haveaiouscd tlie public to the highest pitch of excite ment, and an addiess, signed by o\ei one thousand citizens, lias been picssented to the King, respectfully lequesting him to dismiss his Cabinet. In the mean time His Majesty lemains secluded id the royal palace, and fioni this ulylic letieat commands the Aimy and Navy, holding both m the capacious palm of hib hand, iea.dy at a moment's notice to hull them against the kipi--(lebels), who ate (in woids) assaulting theveiy gates ofr the palace. It is a standing joke that you can't <jot the old white settleis on the [stands to fight oven were you to couple them togethei after the fishion of the fabled Kilkenny cats ; but it must be leinetnbeied that thcie is a floating population of foioigneis who would ask no better fun than the task of gobbling up the Hawaiian Aimy of seventy-five or one bundled men. The Hawaiian Navy is not a lormulablc enemy, being composed of something in the shape of a washtub. Oui latest account fiom the Inlands indicate that the opposition to the Government is very formidable, and, with a mihtaiy leader, a man of dating, leady to fight and win a kingdom, could be organised into a successful 1 evolution. The king is icpoitcd to be ticmbhng in his malo, while Piemier Gibson stands the bi unt of the battle, assailed on all sides, yet holding the foit. Our mfoinient, has just aimed fiom Honolulu, says that city was in the agonies of levolt, but is of the opinion that the whole thing will fi/./.lc out in talk, as "' theie's no fight in the white men theie."

A Studio Sr.cm/r. — Great Painter — " They aie not imaginaiy. All n>y aciobatie studies aie iioin Nature." Cutie — " But that pietuie of a cnous man stand ing on Ins head ?" "Tt is fiom a model." "A model! How under the c.uiopy could any model pose in that position long enough to be sketched ?" " Simplest thing m tho woild."

Svvs a ScomMr Papku : — What an extiaoidinaiy hold tennis has taken to be sure ! One meets men and maidens can yinn racquets wherever one goes. In London, in the subiubs, and all over the countiy the game is ployed by old and young. On Sunday tennis is quite an institution. People with gardens gne tennis-pat ties on Sunday afternoon, and these aie among the most popular functions of the day. Tiains leaving London at mid day on Sundays can ied tioops of young people in tennis costumes, much to the honor of old-tashioned folk. Stiict people in letting their homes for a season put a clause to the agi cement that tennis must not be played on a Sunday. And this often causes the transaction to break down. Koumiss — Koumiss has become aveiy common ai tide of diet with dyspeptic?, and accoiding to the Chicago Re\iew it maybe made at home at a cost of 15 cents per quait. The following dneetions are given for its manufaotme : Fill a quait champagne bottle up to the neck with pme milk ; add two tablcspoonfuis of white sugai, aftei dissolving the same in a little w.itei ovei a hot die ; ,idd also a qnai tor ot .1 1\\ o cent cake ot compi t yeast Then tic the coik on the bottle secuiely, and shake the nuxtuic well ; place it in a 100 m of the tempciatuic of 50 degs. to 0.") degs. Fahienheit for si\ houis, and finally 111 the ice box o\ or night. Dunk in such quantities as the stomach may lequiie. It will be veil to obscive seveial important injunctions 111 preparing the koumiss, and they aio : To be siue that the milk is pure ; that the bottle is sound ; that the yeast is fiesh ; to open the nrixtuie in the morning with great caie, on oceount of its efTcivescent piopoities ; not to drink it at all if them is any ciudle or thickenmg pait resembling cheese, as this indicates that the fermentation has be pi olonged beyond the piopcr time. Make it as you need to use it. The virtue of koumiss is that it lefieshcsand stimulates, with no after reaction from its cflect. It is often almost impossible to obtain good ftcsh koumiss, especially away fiom laige towns. The above makes it possible for any physician to prescribe it. The South Sea Islanders are not bad cricKcteis, as may be inferred fiom the fact that a team of natives at Sin a gave a picked eleven ot the Wairarapa excursionists a good drubbing the other da}'. Some curious facts in relation to the method of playing the game in Fiji and other paits of the Pacific aie gi\en by a correspondent of the Sydney Morning Herald, who says :— '• The unholy game has been intioduced from Tonga, wheic it is called lulddi. The young Bau chiefs engage in it in the most demonstiative mauncr, batting like madmen, and bowling like " demons '—in that one particular emulating SpofFoith. Up in the Wind w aid Isles there are rival encket clubs, and hero comes in the other curi ous fact. The champion club opens and closes its meetings with prayer ! Thcie is no hypocrisy about such proceedings, which arise out of the very simple and matter-of-fact way in which these people regard things of this world and of the other. And so, in sending lately a formal challenge to a rival club, the hon. secretary of the champion association intimated curtly that they had an idea they could beat the other folk at kihliti, and invited them to test the fancy ; and he wound up his epistle by sending his love. Amen !"

"German Syrup." No other medicine in the world was ever given such a test of its curath c qualities as Boschee's German Syrup. la three years two millions four hundred thousand small bottles of this medicine were distributed free of charge by Druggists in the United States of America to those afflicted with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe Coughs, Pheumonia and other diseases of the throat and lungs, giving the afflicted undeniable proof that German Syrup will cure them. The result has been that Druggists in every town and village in civilised countries are recommending it to their customers. ,Go to , your Druggist and' ask what they know about it. Sample* Bbttlss\6d. Regular si?e 3s 6d, Tbjee , doses will relieve any cftse.
