A CURl?uTor?M?NITY. THE LEPER SETTLEMENT IN TUE ISLAND OF MOLOKAI. BIRAN QB AND STARTLING SIGHTS AMONG TUB BANISHED UNFORTUNATES. Tho most startling and extraordinary community on tho face of this earth is to be found on tho Island of Molokai, ono. of tho small islands comprising tho Hawaiian group. Tho community is composed of tho lepers found amongst tho inhabitants of tho Other islands and compelled by tho law to resido OD Molokai. Of tho many fo roigo ors who visit Honolulu thoro arc low who have nn opportunity to visit tho leper settlement. Tho government is very strict in grouting permission, and but tow outside prominent journalists, soiontilio mon und an oooasional tourist of distinction can receive tho neces sary pass. A WEIRD MUSICAL GREETING. The pnesago by stoamors from Honolulu to tho Island of Molokai occupied about ton hours, tho channel being somo eighty miles wide Tho first point reached is Kalaupa pa, tho landing for tho lepers. At this placo, when'distinguished visitors aro expected, a string baud, composed of lepers, greet tho visitors with plaintive, mournful music, well fitting thoir isolation from tho world and tho grief, a wo should think, within thoir hearts. As wo look on tho faces of tho musicians tho music seemed weird nt timos, os if coming from thc mystorious caverns of death. For wo can hardly im agino that intelligence, that tho divino harmony of music, cnn bo attributes of tho unfortunates stouding before us and, strange to relate, apparently "as happy os tho day is long." Tho flesh on their faces is rolled up in masses of ruddy, coppor-oolorcd huo, tho oyofl protrude through smaller layers, and tho hand, looking short and stunted with tho disease, scorns as if it could not hold tho instrument. Tho players arc young, middle-aged and old, ull in tho medium stages of leprosy; that is, tho affliction is painfully visible, but thoro arc no running sores, nor hove hole? been eaten through feet, hands or body. When th oso nativo musioians havo finished playing they rush lo groot old companions, and many is tho hearty "aloha" (lovo to you) which passes between tho lepers and their friends. Crowds of nativo lepers aro on tho beach extending thoir hands and oxpvcssing a hearty "aloha" to those they greet. STRANGE PHYSICAL REACTION. Tho unfortunato express tho greatest joy ot mooting old friends, and, ns is common with Hawaiians and other Polynesian tribes, will sit down and ory with exoess of pleasure for a quarter of an hour at a timo. When tho flood of tears has passed away they are ia an instant transformed into tho most laughtor-loving mortals. They scorn to forgot thoir physical condition and revel in the < most unbounded joy. Thc contrast from tears < to smiles is a vory strango physilogioal ? roaotion. Tho foroigu tourists who look i on all this aro often subject to tho wit and ( badinage of tho lepers, and especially of tho t young women. Fortunately a young and I roystoring leper girl will approach a for- < eigner and extend her hand for a regular pump-handle shako, but it often happens that tho foreigner, though not lacking in gallantry, will fail to respond through f'eor of tho loper's touch. Then tho girl will burst out in a saucy laughter, and finish up with tho expression of "Makau oo," (you oro afraid.) Ail tho natives join iu, and oxolaim, "Makau kola haolc," (that for eigner is afraid.) "Moi nei oo, a mo boni honi kana," (como hero and let us kiss lovingly,) was tho taunting salutation of a charming littlo loprcss, whoso offliotion hod not blotted out tho traces of beauty in hor chook nor dimmed thc lustro of her large, soft, dron ni y eyes. Tho gontloman nd dressed courteously declined tho proposed neotar, when all tho lopors present, mon and women, had a hoarty laugh at his ex penso. A POLISHED LEPER GOVERNOR. Tho lopor Qovornor is a man of un doubted intellect, a lawyer by profession, and tho best orator in tho Hawaiian king dom, whites inoludod. Whoever has visited tho Sandwioh Islands has hoard of "Hill" ?logsdall, as ho is popularly called by foreigners, but officially known os Gov. llogsdalT. Ho it is who is chief oxooutivo at Kalawdd. Ho is n half-oasto, his motlier being a nativo and his father an American. He speaks English and nativo with per feotion, and hos somo koowlodgo of Fronoh. His kn owl cd go of history is remarkable, and ho is wolf road in gonoral literature Ho is apparently forty fivo years of ago, of light groooful build, polished in his man nora, and, liko ali Hawaiians, hospitablo to a fault. Ho first discovered that ho was aflliotod with loprosy in a poouliar way. It was on tho Island of Hawaii, ot his homo, whilo hunting up points on a law ooso. By nooidonfc tho ohimnoy of his lamp foll off, and although it was almost red hot, ho '?? suddenly picked it up nod ploocd it on tho lamp. Looking at his hand to nco if it was : * ? burned, as any person would under tho circumstances, ho discovered that thoro was not a trace of a burn, much less the first palo ful sensation. It flashed upon his mind that ho was oilliotod with loprosy, and at onoo, with tho true heroism of tho soul, he informod thc authorities, and voluntarily consigned himself td perpetual exile from wifo, family, friends oed tho world, but ewin.; to his talents and high position, nod hoing slightly uflliotod, ho might havo cs oapod, but ha preferred to obey tho law. TUB LEPElt SETTLEMENT/ AND ITS BUR WOUNDINGS. The valley in which tho lepera oro located is nearly two milos ond a half long, and ap parently from a half milo to a mito and a half wido. On ono side is a mountain rango, impassable except at ono point, and thoro tho exit is very di Moult, having to bo accomplished by tho aid of ropes and cling ing to tho branches of trees. On tho other sido is tho forovor agitated ocean. Thus tho lepers aro secluded not only from tho world, but from tho inhabitants occupying tho other portions of Molokai. Thoro havo boon a fow csoapos of Icpors through tho passage indicated, but it has alway?) boon n wonder how thoy oould manago to csoapo by so stoop, precipitous and dangerous aa opening. When captured thoy aro re turned, but no penalty is inflicted upon thom. Thoro is nu abundance of fresh j water on tho East sido of tho vnlloy, a largo water pipo furnishing a supply for thc hos pital nod for othor purposes. Tho valloy is of volcnnio origin. Ono of tho extinct orators is about a half milo in diameter, and 150 feet dcop. Tho middlo of tho oratcr is a boautiful littlo lake, emeral io its hue. Tho water is reported to bo us salt us tho sea, and contains two or three kinds of Uah. Tho nutlvcs say tho lake is unfathomable, and that it is rod from tho son. Glancing at tho valley ns a whole, it is most admira . bly fitted to tho purposo to which it is allotted. Tho climate is genial, and if at times warm in tho summer, tho nights aro deliciously cool. In nil tho Hawaiian, islands ibero is not another location'80' porfcot for a leper settlement as this. J HOW THU LEPElltJ MVE AND FIND AMUSE MENT. The douizons of iho loper settlement' manage to onjoy themselves in ninny ways. They havo their balls and parties, at whioh thoy trip tho light fantastio toe, both in nativo nud Europcnn stylo. There aro 277 houses iu tho valloy, mostly built by tho government for their comfort There aro' two Hornau Catholic chapels nod ono Catho i lio church; also two sohool houses^ where tho young aro educated. Mnuy of tho lepers who oro nblo to work havo taro patohos, whero they plant taro, and thus procuro a supply of fresh poi, a delicacy doar to tho nativo palate. Thoy nearly all own horsos, whioh thoy at times drivo at n furious roto. Tho nvorago kanaka, no mutter whero you find him, is euro to ride his horse to death some day or another, and tho women, in this respect, aro tho samo as tho mou. 'But this is ono of their great enjoyments, and they will indulge in it oven amongst th o lepers. When not horso riding, planting taro or othcrwiso engaged, tho lepers do u littlo legitimate louting around "tho country storo," whero they barter and trade, and keep inquiring for letters whonover a vessel touches at Kalau papa, tho ouly landing nt tho settlement. No vessels nro permitted lo touch thcro except on special business connected with tho lepers. Whenever a vessel touches it is n kind of holiday for all tho natives who aro nblo to ride down to tho landing. When foreigners arrive tho natives nro suro to reap n good harvest, because, though thoy chorgc nothing for tho uso of their horses, it is tho custom to pay tho owners whatever you seo fit for this kindness. Some of tho natives manage to accumulate a littlo money by trading and speculation. Senatorial Fees. WASHINGTON, April 5.-Tho roocnt roport of thc Union Pnoilic Railroad Com pany to tho Secretary of tho Iutorior, show ing tho expenditures of tho company for tho yoars 1870 nnd 1877, contains some highly interesting documents, whioh throw a good deal of light on tho present opera tions of that road, and thc Contra! Pacific's , Railroad bot'oro Congress. It is now about two years and a half sinoo tho movement was first begun in Congress, to require those roads to crcato a sinking fund to in demnify tho United States for their advances ! >f interest, and to moot tho principal of thc 1 subsidy bonds. This m o vernen t followed ?ooo nftor tho Unitod States Supremo 1 3ourt, at tho Octobor term, 1875, decided 1 ;hat tho act of March 1873, did not chango ?ho terms of tho not or 1S6-1, by whioh tho 1 Government was allowed to retain one-half 1 >nly of thc compensation for services ron- 1 lorcd to tho United Statos, to bo applied lo ,lio payaient of the subsidy bonds. At tho 1 lession of 1875 and 1876 rosolutions on tho ' lubjcct of indomoity to tho Government < yoro offered in tho Houso of ltcprcsoota- ' ,ivos, in which Messrs. Lawrence, of Ohio, ind Knott, of Kontucky, mado a roport on ,ho lQth of March, 187(3, with a bill in- ? ,cnded to protect tho Governniont iuicrcsts. 1 Similar resolutions of inquiry woro brought forward io tho Sonate, and on May 20, ( 1876, Mr. West, of Louisiana, mado n report from tho railroad comtnittoo, whioh svos decidedly in tho intorcst of tho rail roads, and intended to protoot thom iu their spoil. On tho 12th of July, 1876, Mr. Thurman, in bohnlf of tho judiciary oommittoo, madora roport recommending a bill similar to ??at now boforo tho Senate. Owing to tho Into period of tho season, and tho proBSUro of a Presidential oleotion, this bill did not como to n volo, but nt tho noxt session, namoly, 1876-77, tho mattor onmo up again, though without results. At thc prosont session it has boon ono of tho standing topics. All this timo tho railroad companies havo boon on tho alert, bosicging Congress, maintaining a powerful lobby in Washington, and bringing every imaginable influonoc to boar upon Congressmen, social, politioal and athorwiso. Congressman, both poor ondhonorablo, havo boon unconsciously oapturod by porsons who woro soorotly tho agonts of tho lobby, and improssod with n bias in favor of tho railroads, who, if thoy had waitod for tho formal roport of tho oommittoo and tho oaroful sifting of faots in debato, would havo responded nt o noe to tho oaueo of justioo and honosty. Tho roport of oxpondituros by tho Union Paoifio Company oovors tho poriod whon they havo boon dreading action by Congress whioh would ootnpol thu surrondor of a portion of their largo earnings to form a sinking fund. I hour that it wea with a good dotti of diffi. o'alty that Soorotory Sohurz was oblo.to foroo this report out of tho oom pa ny, and tho fact that bo has forood it may sorvo to explain tho animus of tho rooont bitter assault on tho Secretary in tho columns of. tho Now York Tribuuo. lu tho first place, thc sum of 812,000 WOB paid to W. E. Chaud lor, ostensibly for counsel foes, but what Court he appoarcd in has not transpired, unless it wa s in and around tho Capitol lobbios. ? company employing suoh omi nont lawyers as Staughton, Burtlott and Storrs would have no ucod for Mr. Chand ler. Tho sum of tcu thousand dollars for professional scrviocs was paid to Messrs. Shcllabargor and Wilson, nttorueys, resi dent in Washington, and of counsel gener ally for Wells, Anderson and tho carpet bag persuasion. It will bo remembered that Mr. Jeremiah M. Wilson and Samuel Shel labarger woro members of tho Credit Mo bilier Oommittoo number two, which, years ago, investigated tho rascality of these two companies in tho construction of their road, and made a most scathing report to Con gross. Liko Mr. Chandler, thoy havo a good doal of inilucnoo io Congross. Another payment is that of $20,274, made on tho 27th of Ap? il, 1877, to Dillon, to reimburse him for moneys paid out for legal services. No vouchers aro exhibited for these payments by Dillon, nor is it known to whom Dillon paid tho monoy. It was made to him just after tho sossion of 1870 77 dosed, and was probably intondod to cover what he spent boro that wiutcr. Another extraordinary payment bears dato 21st March, 1877, and consists of $6,500 paid to Mr. Jamos. F. Wilsou, of Iowa, for legal sorvicos in connection with suits io Illinois nod Iowa. Aocording to tho report of tho Interior Department to Congress dated Ootobor 25, 1877, Mr. J. F. Wilson was a Government director of tho Union Pacific Railway for tho year ending Juuo 80, 1877, oiubraoiug tho very timo of thc payment to him for legal services above ?tated. His uamo moy bo found along with four others hpponded to a very mild nnd flabby report for tho period stated. There aro no reports of expenditures by tho rdad for tho present session. This is tho time when tho largest lobby has boen in tho field Jay Gould uud Huntington not daring to trust tho groat matter to subordinates, but coming to Washington to conduot thc cam paign iu person. It is believed that a report of their payments for tiiis session would pan out particularly rioh. Hut while tho railroad lobbyists aro educated in tho sohool that every man has his prioe, it is asserted that thc policy upon which they prefer to act is not to pay cash in hand, but to givo what is oallod a "put" or "call" ot? their own stocks. For instance: if tho Matthews' bill had passed both houses, ao cotding to tho computation of a Treasury oxpert it would havo yielded a bonus to tho railroads of soino fifty-throo millions of dollars, uud Union Pacific stook would have jumped at n bound from seventy-nine to ono hundred. A promiso thcroforo to deliver n certain number of shares nt tho current rate toan influential man, in or out of Congress, would ho n bonanza that would greatly stitnuluto his activity. This is reported to have been tho way that Gould carriod tho Erio bill through tho New York Legislature. WASHINGTON, March 29.-Tho House Elcotoral Committee displayed its wisdom to-day by adopting the torin of six years for tho President, and tho feature of ineli gibility. Tho iden is borrowed from thc permanent Confederate Constitution; but tho honornblo imitators aro probably not uwaro that tiio ablest men of thc Confede rate Congress at lliohmond were generally of opinion that this and tho other changes mode by them in thc old Constitution woro unfortunate, and proved tho reverse of improvements. That this was tho view taken of these changes, I can state from personal knowledge Tho House committee also voted down by a tie voto Mr. South ard's plan to abolish tho electors, and sub stituto a direct voto for President, with tho aliowanco to each candidato of his propor tion of tho electoral vote. This feature will oomo up ogain. It was also voted aflirmativoly to abolish thc electors, and to voto dircotly for President, tho ma jority candidate to havo tho tobi elcotoral vote of tho Stato. Tho House Committee is proceeding on thc idea of amending thc Constitution in this respect. Tito Senate Committee, on thc contrary, is going on tho pinn of making its chongos in accord meo with tho present Constitution. This makes its work much moro difficult, especially in tho matter of providing for tho caso of double returns, or disputed returns. Mr. Day ord is contemplating the offering of it proposition providing that questions of disputed votes from a stato shall bo referred Lo tho Senators and members of Congress from tho Stato in question, and that their locisinn shall govorn, unless overruled by both Houses of Congress. This is in ac jordanoo with tho plan of Mr. Jefferson, which has only recently como to light. A BAD MEMORY.-"Mary, my lovo, do you roincmbcr tho text this, morning?" "No, pa, I never can romombor tho text; I hove such a bad moinory." . "By tho way, did you notioo Susan Jones?" joined in Mary's mother. "Oh, yes; what a fright! She had on her last year's bonnet dono up, a pea-green silk, n black mantilla, brown boots, an imitation of Honiton collar, a lava braoolot, hor old oar rings, and suoh a fan!" "Well, my dear, your memory is ocrtainly ?bad.'" NEW YORK, April 9.-Ex-Govornor Moses, nrrostcd on a ohargo of forgory, was boforo tho Supromo Court to-day on a writ of habeas corpus. T?io ease was adjourned till to-morrow to givo tho District Attornoy timo to preparo a roturn to tho writ. Tho Distriot Attornoy roooivod a dispatoh from Albany stating that Govornor Robinson had granted tho requisition, and that tho oflioor having tho papers in ohargo was on his way Now Zork. A fowyoars ogo in Cauaanoho County, Texas, a numbor of domostio ohiokons deserted thoir owner, took to tho brush, and tho woods aro now full of wild ohiokons. They aro numbered by tho thousand, fly liko hawks, and oro huntod os gamo. The latost Parisian suicido is rcoordod of a young man who killed himself because his undo had fallon hoir to 860,000 franos. This is equal to tho Englishman who leaped into tho dark booauso his was tired of buttoning and unbuttoning his auspondow. Ci o ml Society* Many parants who havo 8009 and daugh ters growing up aro anxious for thom to got in good soototy. This is an honorablo anx iety, if it iutorprots good eooioty oftor souao lofty fashion. Parents, your daughter is in good society whoo she is with girls who oro sweet and puro and true hearted; who aro not vain or frivolous; who think of something besides dress, or flirting, or marriage; between whom and their paronts thoro is oonfldonoo; who aro usoful as welt us oruumoutul iu tho house; who cultivate thoir miuds, and their hands to skillful workmanship. If society of this sort is not to bo had, then none at nil is proforablo to a wosthloss article. Seo to it that you impress this ou your children, and abouo all, that you do not encourage thom to think that good society is a matter of flub clothes, or wealth, or boasting to bo somebody. As you vnluo your soul, guard her against these miserable counterfeits; and impress upon her that intelligence, aud simplicity, and modesty, and gooducss aro tho only legal coin. Tho samo rulo holds for boys as for girls. You woud havo those outer into good society. Do not imagino that you havo accomplished it when you havo gotten thom in with a sot of boys whoso paronts are woalthior than you, who dress better than you or your boy can afford to, and who prido themselves upon thoir sooial position. Good society for a boy is tho sooioty of boys who aro honest and straight forward, who havo no bad habits, who aro earnest and ambitious. Thoy oro not in a hurry to bo men. They not ambitious for tho company of shallow, heartless women, old enough to bc their mothers and aro uot envious of their friends who fuooy there ?3 something grand in dul ling all tho edgo of their heart's hope upon such jaded favorites. There is nothing sadder to seo cither young mon or women priding themselves upon thc society which they enjoy, when verily it is u ])oail Soanpplo that will choke timm with its dust, when they need somo frouorous, juioy fruit to cool their lips and Blay tho hunger of their souls. A Troublesome Verl?. An educational journal thus describes tho trouble a Prc no hm an had with tho verb "break." "I begin to understand your language better," said my French friend, Mr. Dubois to mo, "but your verbs troublo mo still; you mix them up so with prepositions." "I am sorry you dod thom so troublesome," ivas all I could say. "I saw our friend, Mrs. Murkosoo, just now," ho continued. "Sho says sho intends tu break down housekeeping; am 1 right there?" "Break up housekeeping, sho must have laid." "Oh, yea, I remember; brook up houso {coping." "Why docs sho do that?" I nsked. "Because her health is so broken into?" "Broken down, you should say." "Broken down? oh yes. And indeed, tinco tho small pox has broken up iu our ?ty--" "Broken out!" "She.thiuks sho will loovo it for a few Yceks." "Will sho leoro hor houso alone?'* "No; she is afraid it will be broken irokon-how do I say that?" "IJrokon into." "Ceatainly, it is what I mean to say." "Is her sou to bo married soon?" "No; that engagement is broken-bro ;on-" "Broken off?" "Yes, broken off" "Ah, I had not heard that." "She io vory sorry about it. Her pon nly broke thc uews down to her last. week. im 1 right? 1 nm anxious to speak English roll." "Ho merely broke tho nows. No propo ilion this time." "It is hard to understand.
