The question of assessing a duty upon
sugar from tho Hawaiian inlands is again
before the treasury department from tho
collector of oustoms at Now ' York. In
tbe caso in point, which is regarded as a
tost case, the collector has assessed the
duty on a cargo of sugar from tbe Ha
waiian islands to tho amount of nearly
$200,000. Protests were tiled against (ho
assessment on the grouud thut sugar was
exempt from duty under the provisions
of the reciprocity treaty with tbe Ha
waiian islnndtj. It was contended on tho
other hand that tho sugar in question did
not come within tho terms of tbe treaty,
as it was of a different class from those
made- on the islands ut the time the treaty
was ratified. In bis report ou the sub
ject tho collector of oustoniB Btates that
the cuho involves questions of fact which
bo cannot undertuko to decido. It is
probable that the question will bo re
ferred to the collector at San Francisco
in order to determine whether the sugar
in question is of a class to bo included
witU the torms of the treaty.
A Seattle dispatch of Oct. 11th says:
The captains and first officers of tho two
vessols, Challongor and Harvester, who
wero arrested for cruelty to sailors have
been dealt with by the law as thoir in
human and brutal couduct deserved, bo
ing placed under heavy bond to await
trial. Ik-nnett, first mate of tho ship
Harvester, was indicted on two charges
of assault with a deadly weapon commit
ted ou the person of one of tho ship's
crew. Lilly, second mate of tho ship,
was also indicted on the same charge.
Tho result of tho examination of the
charges against Capt. Mountford, of tbe
hhip Challenger at Tacoma, resulted in
his being bold in tho sum of 0000 to
await the action of tbe grand jury hero.
Conway, first mato of tho name ship was
held in tho sum of $10,000. Tho treat
ment given the unfortunate men on tho
ship Challenger appears more . inhuman
and horrible at every narration, lu ad
dition to what has already been pub
lished the facts show that ouo nun who
had been so terribly beaten that ono of
bis brokon ribs protruded through the
flesh, jumped overboard and diowned
himself to escape the outrages and tor
tures to which he was subjected. The
crew consisted principally of Norwegians
und Germans, who as a class make very
submissive sailors. The poor fellow
Smith, who shipped as third mate, and
was disrated because be deprecated tbe
beating of the sailors, and submitted to
the most teriible punishments, was ac
quitted on the charge of insanity pre
ferred against him by tbe captaiu. He
will perhaps never again be a well man.
While be as confined in a miserable,
wet, cold, filthy room, seven feet long,
five feet wide and four feet high, whore
Le was deprived of all comforts of life
and subjected to all tbe miserable treat
ment that can be imagined, tbe first
mate, a great burly Liverpool Irishman
named Conway, would take other men to
Lis hovel and comrel them to fight and
beat bim, threatening their lives if they
refused. Every sailor on that ship was
more or 1cm beaten and bruised. Some
Lave their heads broken, others Lave
their arms bruised and broken, and all
axe more or lest used up.

PIZZUXO A RAILWAY CONDUCTOR.
It Un't evory mn tht cn be a twin. Ij
isn't every family tlist can boaat twins. (It
Un't every fuuilljr that wanta them.) It Uu I
every man that would wLu to be twinned, un
ions he wo Bood-bokinif. at leant the idea
would be uUiK'reeable, not only to be 1IM00I1
infj, but to have an ugly counterpart hroOiir
guinfr about to double one's uliare of the
world s illgliU 00 account of one's homely
appearance. ,1.
AndaKaln, who, being handsome (unloM be
was virluoua), would run the riak of having s
bandnoine twin brother liable mistaken tor bim
on various oritlcal occasion; and liable, in
roKuery, to be putting bim into awkward pol
tioua and loaviiig him at his wifl end to get
out of them? .,.,,.
Providence bat not greatly multiplied twin
dom upon the werld, and father aud mother
and the ret of mankind, upon the whole, have
reaon to be thankful. The majority of ui,
fortunately, are nonucha original human
tub, ordained to stand, each upon iu own In
dupendoutiudivldual bottom. And if we aro,
therefore, the more responsible for our own In
dividual moral leakines we got, aUo, the moro
reward for our ows special moral nouudnemi.
Let ns, then, all strive to be water-tight.
We who wore not born twins, aftor the
above philosophio eomrfdoratlons, may look
with perfect nonchalance npou tho story of
Bdward and Edwin Howlpaw, brothers, whom
Impartial Nature hal rendered equal in ago,
and alike in appearance ize, weight, form,
gait, etc ami 1 in almost every other respect,
with the exception that Edward, whom wo will
designate a No. 1, was ol a more serious tur
of mind than Edwin, whom we will designate
as Howlpaw No. 3. Tbe latter was apt to
play pranks at the expense of the former, so
that rognory bred indignation, and the twins
quarrelled very often, in strange violation of
the tacit injunction given by Nature when ulie
barmoulzvd their presentments in so sk'nili
cant a manner. Thus, though like, .thcy'wero
nnliko, and likely to pull in different ways.
No. 1 Howlpaw tried for a time to baflle the
tricks of No. 2 Howlpaw by dressing differ
on tlv; but it became too expensive and uiuhms,
for No. 2 copied the dress invariably, so that
No. 1 must e'en change forever, or allow the
odds to be evoned. The odd wero againt
him. It was odd, considering that ho was a
twin. And how very odd it is that brothers,
especially twin brothers, should wrangle.
Vet, though these twins of ten quarreled,
there was no malice between them. Though
No. 2 often mortified No. 1, No. 1 saw that it
proceeded only from a love of sport, and if an
gry, he suppressed the appearance of discord
for the honor of the family, which was a very
respcctablo one, and paid heavy taxes for the
good of the commonwealth.
Ono day the two Uowlpaws got into the rail
road cars to go and see their rich uncle.
Merion aud discreet No. 1 bought bis ticket
and took his seat. Iloguish and reckless No.
1 took bis seat in another part of tho same
car, hut bought no ticket. He had determined
to liavo some sport before the journey was
through.
No. 1, from long experience, suspected some
thing of the kiud; aud when the conductor
csmo along, gave up his ticket and wont into
the forward car, passing his brother, to whoso
seat tho conductor bad not jot come. The col
lection of tickots had ooinmenced in the rear
car and was proceeding to the first oue.
No. '1 Howlpaw uau seen ao. 1 Howlpaw
glvo up his ticket, and pass him, unseen by
the conductor into the forward car; and now
when tho conductor came to him, he said:
"You havo my ticket, sir."
"I know it," replied the conductor, mis
taking him for his brother.
"I demand it bsck again,'' uid No. 2.
"Why so'r" asked the surprised oonductor.
"Iiscauso you've no right to takes ticket un
til tho journey is finished," said the bold
Howlpaw, looking a volume 01 lawsuits.
"It is the rule of tho road," said the conduc
tor. "That may bo, Bir," persisted No. 2, "but it
won't stand' in law; and now I warn yon here
in tho presence of these witnodses, who havo
heard you admit that you havo tsken my
ticket, that unless yon ruturn it to mo until
the Jouruoy is ended, I shall certainly suo you
for the outragel"
Here was a perplexing predicament tor a
conductor. Tho question raised was new to
the conductor; aud being merely a man of
routine, no mure prepared to argue a point
with a passenger than if hn had been a ma
chine, lie became confused, cast appealing
looks at tho other paxnongers to decido tho
mattor for him, and, finally, fooling insecure
and dreading tho law, he had hoard such
tricky things about it after a few angry words,
ho reluctantly gave audacious No. 2 a ticket
and then sped into the next car forward to Col
lect his tickots and Ms vexation.
'As soon as ho had vanished No. 2, with the
ticket went back in the car to the seat which
his brother had first occupied, and awaited the
result with niorrily twinkling eyes. His fel
low passengers thought he was No. 1, and
thoiiKht ho was a smart fellow to have over
awed a conductor. And so he was.
Meanwhile the chagrined conductor discussed
the question with several friends in the for
ward car; and they sided with him, and told
him he ought to demand tho instant return of
the ticket, or stop the cars and put the fellow out.
Alter this debate the conductor, pondering
over tho matter, resumed the collection of
tickots; and soon, on his way, he encountered
No. 1 Howlpaw, whom ho mistook for No. 2.
"So, sir, you havo followed me into this car,
have you?" 'said the conductor.
"1 enoso to cnange my seat, repnou ao. 1;
"hut von havo roccivod my ticket in tho car
behind."
'I did sir; but I gave it to you again; and I
have since taken advice on the subject, aud now
I demand it back."
'Did you say you gave it back to me?" said
No. 1, with a grave surprise.
"Certainly, because you threatened law upon
me; but the law can't touch me, I find."
"Tho law will touch von," returned No. 1,
much nettled, and in his anger forgetting that
he had ft mischievous brother; nor could he
conceivoof such a trick at any rate. "The law
will touch you it you force tho prieo ol two
tickets from one passenger, ion have mado a
blunder. Mr. Conductor. Traveling so much
in the cars confuses you sometimes, no doubt."
"I want that ere ticket 1" responded the con
ductor in a voice tremulous with rage.
"I don't, for I've given it to you once; and
all I want is my ride, which I am having.'
"You won't havo it out! I'll stop the train."
"Mr. Conductor," said No. 1 Howlpaw, ris
ing, "go with me into tho car yon have just
left, and if anybody says he saw me receive my
ticket back again, rerhaps I'll pay you the
price of it."
"Come along, then," said tho conductor, tri
umphantly, aud they went.
But No. 2 saw them coming; and as, fortu
nately for his game, tho train stopped at a way
station just then, ho slippci out of the back
door, and going forward, re-entered the train
iu the ear ahead.
TI10 traiu started again, and the conductor
and No. 1 made their Appeals as to the return
of the ticket. Of course, everybody mistook
No. 1 for No. 2, and while some testified that
No. 1 had given his ticket, nearly everybody
was positive that he had made a lust about ii;
that they taw him leave his seat, and saw him
take back bis ticket and then go back to his
seat again.
. No. 1 was overwhelmed.
"I did leave my seat, but I loft the car also."
"But you came in again," said several, "as
soon as 'the train started. We saw yon."
"Was there ever such a pack of stupid liars'."
muttered No. 1, looking ferociously at tbe in
quisitive company.
Please to fork back that ticket," insisted
the conductor; "I am tired of this nonsense."
"You are right now, Mr. Conductor," said
several, "though yon were much to blame for
giving it up in the first place."
"Where is Edwin?" refiecti-d No. 1. looking
in vain for him, that he might come to his as
sistance. Hnddenly the solution of the mystery
was clear to him. His agitation prevented it
before.
"Gentleman!" be exclaimed, "mortised as I
am to confess it, I see bow the mistake has oc
curred and will explain it to yon. I have a
twin brother who looks exactly like me, and is
always playing tricks upon me. That brother
ii now in these cart, and be it must have been
who bat perpetrated this Joke and caused the
mistake of identity."
"A twin brother who plays trick upon bim!
A likely story! Ha, hal" laughed many.
"U iitM you belong to a tncky family."
"Oues you tee double, as well a play
double."
"All I ask," porslstcd No. 1, pale with shame
and wrath, "is that you search the cars. You
will certainly find him. We got in together,
for we are going to see our uncle."
"Some pawnbroker," cried some, derisively.
"Of eourse. He' ft sharper, and he's hard
np." But the impatient conductor and No. 1
Howlpaw went iu search of the twin brother,
whom the former believod to be a myth.
Much to tba lurpriseof the conductor and
tho Joy of No. 1, No. 2 was found. He was
having ft whole scat to himself, and calmly
eating peanuts.
Experienced joker as be was, when he looked up
and saw tho anxious face of that brother whom
ho leemod born to torment for having dared to
bo born at tbo lame time with bim, be could
not refrain from laughing aloud; but ho speed
ily resumed bis equauimity, though it was ex
ceedingly cheerful, and offered a baudful of
pesnul to both his persecuted brothor and the
conductor.
They declined, but made their errand known,
No. 1 relating in detail bow he had been mor
tified, and appealing to him to rectify the mis
Uko and restore the ticket.
"1 hare had but one from both of you, gen
tlemen," added the conductor, "and that oue I
returned like a fool."
The Inveterate No. 2 resolvtd not to let tho
joke stop here, spite of tho imploring look of
hi matter-of-faot brother,
Ho he put ou ft graver and half-reproachful
ittpect a ho said;
"Now, Nod, this is is what I call carrying
tho joke a little too far 1 You may play your
jokes on me, as you always do, aud I'll not say
a word; but it is not right to play tricks upon
travelers strangers who are under no obliga
tion to make allowances for you. This gentle
man is well aware that I gave him my ticket
when he first eutorcd tho other car, and that
he theu canio to you and gave my ticket to you;
and since tin n like myself has been mortified
at your shifting and snuffing. If you haven't
money to pay for your own ticket for pitv's
sako give hi in back initio, and I'll pay for
yours I"
The imperturbable audacity of his brother, in
stead of enbouraging No. 1, no actually
caused him to smile; aud, for a moment, he
was incapable of a reply.
Tbe oonductor looked from one to tho other,
and shook hix head iu a hopeless maze, First
be doubted one, theu the other, then both; and
at last he exclaimed:
"Gentlemen, I dou't like to swear; but, for
God's sake, tell me which 1b which for I am
beginning to think I am bewitched, or he
mmed, or bo-Bomething-or-othered."
"You are only betwixtaud between," replied
the col No. 2; "but I am for deciding the
quesiiou. Coiue into the other car. I'll take
the voieo of my fellow passengers."
No. 2 led the wav hack again, followed meek
ly by No. 1 and the oonductor.
The reappearance of the parties let the whole
car in a roar. There were twins aboard, sure
aough; but an the passengers (trove to detect
points of difference, thoy became as much puz
zled as the conductor as to which of the twins
received ft ticket bac .
No. 2 repeated the statement he had mado
to the conductor, and entreated somebody to
swear that he w ain't the one who played the
joke.
"For It is only a joke, I assure you, gentle
men," said he ; "though I don't think it is ex
actly principle, for him always to be playing
tricks on his younger brother.''
"His younger brother !" repeated some one.
"How can that be? Yon are twins."
"Ah!" replied No. 2, "but he has the oldest
hevl, and always did get ahoad of me !"
This way of deciding seniority caused much
laughter; but .the conductor, feeling that
some might be laughing at bim, became rest
less again.
"This may be all funny to you two twins,
and I dou't care which of yon gets ahead of
the other, provided you dou't both get
ahead of me. You are near your Journoy's eud,
and I haven't a ticket from cither of you. Ono
ot you is butubnggiug me; aud if both ain't,
one is humbugging tho other. 1 dou't want to
trouble yon, for you've made some sport ; hut
I will make this proposition to you, that if
ono of you will please to go out and Jump oft"
the platform and break his nock, the other will
he enough of the kind, to satisfy tho world,
aud pay all charges on this trip."
"Oh, pay up, Ned, pay up I" now reiterated
twiu No. 2. --Give him back my ticket, and
give up your own or pay for ono. This is get
ling too seriom to be anything but stupid."
"I think so myself,' said No. 1. "I wish
von had;thought this playing proxy was a tire
soiuo thing, years ago when you have first bo
gau to annoy me," and No. 1, with a lachry
mose countenance, was actually edging away
toward the forward eud -Jf the car, when his
tenacious twin seized hiiu by tho arm.
Where ara you going, Ned '"
"To jump out of tue car!" said No. 1,
fiercely.
"Of courso I You know wo are within a
quarter of a mile of the depot, now ; we shall
stop in a minute, and it will he safo enough
for you to jump. There I we are stopping
uow."
And the train stopped.
"I was not aware of it," declared No. 1.
"You see, gentlemen, how well he can carry
out a joke, lint, Mr. Conductor, believe me,
if is only ft joke. Here is the price of two
tickets. Of course, I pay for him for it is for
tho houor of our family; and now, in Justice to
my own honor, which cannot permit you to
have suffered all this annoyance without some
recompeuso, permit me to present you with
this ticket 1"
And ho returned tho ticket which now ex
plained "which was which." "Now, don't give
it back to me, I beg of you 1"
Aud with a bound he left tho car, followed
by his exonerated brother aud roars of laughter
from all.
Iu tho ht year of tho seventeenth century a
man appeared iu Glasgow iu whom the city
found a benefactor, who has been rather nu
gratefnlly forxotteu. His nann was Wilson ;
he was born iu Flakcficld, end, in as far as ho
is remembered at all, it is by tho name of his
birthplace. He had been a weaver beforo he
served a-Ja soldier in the continental wars; aud
while so serving iu Germany his eyo was one
day attracted by a woven bluc-and-white check
ered handkerchief. It was a lucky moment for
Glasgow when Flakcficld bought this article.
He stowed it away among his treasures, and ho
resolved some day to weave one like it. In the
rear above named he and the prized haud
kerehief. with F'lakeiield's father and brothor,
nettled in Glasgow, and there the ex-soldier, re
turning to his old calling, attempted to pro
duce a wovec blne-aud-white checkered hand
kerchief. After some unsuccessful essays Flako
tield succeeded and the blue-and-white check
ers wero soon familiar all over the country.
There was a rage for the novel handkerchief.
Fresh set-np looms could hardly produce
these articles fast enough, and on them tbe
extensive linen manufacture of Glasgow was
founded.
Some years after the towu-drnmmer of the
c''y was a man who excited much sympathy.
Ti is hunibio oiliohl, iu fact, was none other
thH Wilson of Flakerield, the old soldier and
weaver, whose loom had started into life tho
above-named manufacture. But rival looms,
whose ownes bad greattr capital, beat out of
tho field tho "wabsur body" who bad done o
much for Glasgow. He fell into poverty, and
ail that generous Glasgow could or would do
for bim was to wake him useful (on small pay)
iu his old days as town-drummer! So runs
the story; but it is to be suspected that there
is a dash of romance in the details. About the
time that Flakeneld and bis kinsmen settled in
Glasgow the city was making rapid strides iu
manufacturing importance. From it 12,000
inhabitant, in a monthly cess was ob
tained for the expense cf the war, which
amounted to 1800. It seems incredible, but
it can be proved. The amount of this tribute
made Glasgow second only toEdiuburgh.which
contributed 3880; and thus, in the course of
k century, Glasgow bad advanced from tbe
fifth m th u.-r.rw) j-itv in th kinprium of Scot-
' land. Manchetter Scict.
