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

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. That young
ian, her son, is a fine fellow; u breaker, I
bink."
"A broker, aud a ycry fine fellow. Good
ay."
So muoh tor tho verb "to break."
