GOING DOWN FOR NICKELS IN THE HONOLULU HARBOR. A Natatorial Matinee that Nearly Bank­ rupted the Proprietor of the Hhou --Good Racing for the Grand Prise. H ono LI'I.I', Marell !)—It would be I bard to determine at what age the ¡ brown-skinned Kanaka urchins learn watched tlie hand with which 1 tossed the coin toward them. Occasionally I gave the smaller fry on tbe outskirts of the splashing, grab­ bing throng u chance by throwing coins so close to them that they man­ aged to intercept them before the big­ ger lads could make their fish-like rush­ es in the direction where the coin had disappeared. One little fellow, who was nothing more than a chubby infant, aroused my sympathy very much. It was evi­ dently his first season In the water. I doubt if lie could walk steadily, and I dropped a nickel in tbe water within two feet of his breast. Tlie diminutive paddler tried hard to get below water, but Ills effort was a failure. He was too short in the legs and arms and too rotund in tlie body and he came to the top spluttering and blubbering ut his non-success. “Him can’t swim yet,” shouted an­ other lad to me in an explanatory way, and then turning quickly to tlie small­ er boy he said, “never min’,I fin’ him” and disappeared below. He returned in an Instant and handed tlie sad faced urchin a nickel, and I feel convinced It was not the one lie made pretense of diving for. Before bringing tlie natatorial mati­ nee to a termination I organized a flfty yards swimming match, for which tlie prize was twenty-five cents. There were fully thirty competitors, mid tbe manner in which those coffee colored tots sped through the water was a rev­ ■ elation. Tlie favorite stroke was ail over baud movement in which the swiniultr changes rapidly from side to side, while some of the aquatic sprint­ ' ers covered more than one-half tlie dis­ tance under wates and raced in strong i at the finish . The lad who won had only a abort head to tlie good, and al­ ' most alt the others came to the post in a bunch. Noticing that I was becoming sated with the display, one of tbe lads asked me if I would like to see some bigli div­ ing. I intimated that I would and a 1 couple of the wharf rats clambered to the top of a wliarf building, the ridge 1 of which was fully tliirty-flve feet from the top of the water. The foremost lad gave one downward glance and . jumped. He turned gradually in tlie air, striking the water head first, mak­ ing no more commotion than a com­ pact piece of metal of conical shape. The oilier boy struck tlie water feet first with the same bullet like “zip” and stayed so long lienenth the surface tliat I liegan tu tliink something had gone wrong. He eventually bobbed up above tbe water immediately beneath where I stood, ami as the look in his big eyes undeniably inquired “How much is that worth?” 1 threw him a 1 quarter and cleared out while I liad car fare left.— IF.

Tlie name of the intoxicant produced and used by the Indians of Arizona is Tlzwln. It is manufactured from the fruit of the Sahuara or giant cuctus and its use or abuse is common to all the Arizona tribes. The Indians say that its mode of manufacture and use have been hand­ ed down through unnumbered genera­ tions of their ancestors, and so It may be concluded that it was known to tlie prehistoric races. Tims another stigma is removed from the long suffering white man, who lias been accused by the Bostonians of teaching ills poor red brother the use of fire water. With the facts before us it appears not only probable but certain that long before Columbus discovered America and contracted tlie disgraceful habit of chewing and smoking tobacco from tlie natives, the art of painting things red was well known in thequiet streets of the Zunl villages and tlie ave­ nues of the seven cities of Cibola. It was doubtless, even at that venerable date, no uncommon sight for tbe good housewife to ste the partner of her joys and sorrows come reeling to tlie doorstep making night hideous witli bacchanalian song. The sahuara, (Cereus Giganteus), is tlie largest and most remarkable of the cactus family and is peculiar to Arizo­ na. It blossoms in May or June, hav­ ing large star like towers of pure white witli a golden center. In July or Au­ gust the fruit is ripe. It is pear shaped being attached to the limb at its point­ ed end, and when mature turns a bril­ liant red and splits open at the top and sides like a chestnut burr, exposing to view a luscious red pulp tilled with mi­ nute black seeds. It resembles straw­ berry jam. In taste it is somewhat like the raspberry, though nqt quite so sweet. As soon as tbe fruit ripens the squaws and children travel miles over moun­ tain and plain to gather it in large bas­ kets, which they carry on their heads. As these giant cacti nre from ten to fif­ teen feet in height; much of the fruit is out of tlicit- reach, and Is left for tlie woodpeckers and blue jays, which are extravagantly fond of it, and frequent­ ly indulge to sucli an extent as to l>e- eonie stupefied and unable to fly for a time. Tlie squaws, however, easily gather as much as they want from tbe smaller plants by means of long poles witli wooden hooks lashed onto the ends witli which tlicy pull down tlie fruit. The gathered fruit is deposited day by day at a common center, where it is pressed and the juice collected into big earthen ollas where a modicum of wa­ ter is added. These ollas are stored in a closed dark room, where a slow fire is kept up for several days until the liq­ uid begins to show a foam on top, a sign tliat it is fermenting. It has then attained the desired intoxicating power and word passes from mouth to mouth, from village to village. As soon as the welcome news arrives all hands knock off* various other kind of loafing and hasten to the tizwin camp to put in their time in the impro­ vised barroom, stupefying themselves with frequent draughts of liquor, and dancing or fighting between drinks. Tbe squaws and children, who never are allowed to join in the revelry, man­ age to get their fun out of the affair by climbing to the low roofs of the wicki" ups and viewing the drunken revels of their lords and masters, Tlius the or- gy continues night and day until the supply is exhausted; and by this time tlie passions of tlie Indians, naturally fierce and cruel, having been inflamed a hundred fold, some one in the crowd utters a war whoop, and they leap on their {tonics and are off on a raid agninst the whites. The Apache is at liest but a devil but when his blood is heated witli tizwin the father of evil himself is a gentle­ man In comparison. As sahuara fruit ripens only once a year it is a whole twelvemonth between drinks with the Indians and all tbeir worst outbreaks have occurred in the tizwin season. The old settlers who still manage to worry along in that sunny dime have good reason to re­ inember tizwin time and its regular re­ currence every summer. To them it recalls many a fierce outbreak of the Apaches. FOOD KEPT FOR AGES. Eaten at a Queer Feast Given by a Brns- «eln Antiquarian. “I have eaten apples that ripened more than 1,800 years ngo, bread made from wheat grown before the children of Isrealite passed through the Red sea, spread it with butter that was made when Elizabeth was queen of England, and washed down the repast with wine that was old when Colum­ bus was playing barefoot with the boys of Genoa,” said a gentleman at the club the other evening. The remarkable “spread” was given by an antiquary named Gorbel, in the city of Brussels, in 1871. The apples were from ajar taken from the ruins of Pompeii, that buried city ta whose peo­ ple we owe our knowledge of canning fruit. Th« wheat was taken,from a cham­ ber in one of the smaller pyramids, tbe butter from a atone shelf in an old well in Scotland, where It bad laid in an carthern crock in icy water, and tbe wine came from an old vault in the city of Corinth. There were six guests at tlie table, and each liad a mouthful of bread and a teaspoonful of the wine, but was per­ mitted to help himself liberally to tbe butter, there being several pounds of it. Tbe apple jar held about two-thirds of a gallon, and the fruit was as sweet and the flavor as fine as tliough put up yesterday. AMERICAN COATS OF ARMS ! ESTABLISH A HERALD'S OFFICE IN WASHINGTON.
