HAWAII'S QUEEN DETHRONED ,1'oKY OF THE REVOLUTION AT HONOLULU The following account r.f the revo l'llion lis from "The Hawaiian Gazette" .f Tuesday, January 17: "Saturday .furnoon, Jannaryll, between 1 aud l! o'clock, the comninnity was startled ly the inform ition that a coup d'etat was in j repress, ami that the Queen was iudeavorim; to force Lit cabinet to sign a new Constitution, which bIio idea proposed to promulgate iruniedi itely to the people. The inform ation waa at first disbelieved by some I nt it was speedily confirmed. The l ulitical changes of the lust few days, the renewed vote of want of confidence t be secret at tempt made by the Queen l.i sei ure the overthrow of her Minis ttts, and her secret interviews witli re-i-ird to a new C institution hud been f It by some to give a hint as to what was to be looted for in the ftiture, and many shared iu forebodings. '.in Saturday tnoeniuir rumor was busy, and it was fr. ely stated that a new Constitution wan to be promulgat ed iu the afternoon. At h meeting of business men, held in the room of the Chamber of Comm-rce, referenee whs made to this poi-stbility, lint still it was not gen ra ly believed until in the aiteruoon the unexpected hapooHed, and doubt was tianstormed into cer tainty. Three dins before the coup J t tat was at eaipted a geutliuun, t-ho enjoys the confidence ot tho Qn-en told one of the members of the Cabi net I who was then in a private station) thi.t a blow was to be struck, and that tlie persons of tun ministers wouid be secured. Iu anticipation that the pnseut Cabinet would not make any resistance to a revolutionary blow, the precaution of arresting them was not taken. Saturday rooming one of the Miniatra received positive information that a blow was to he struck that after noon. Ho immediately proceeded to consult two prominent citizens on the course to be taken. Alter a confer ence the gentlemeu referred t) advised the Cabinet to refuse to sign the Con stitution and to decline to resign if their resigtation should be di mande 1. The prorogation of the L. gisluturo was the lat chapter in the story of t e naming. It went otT tatnely and quietly enough, but those who wero acquainted with the real situation felt that the Government and Nation were sleeping on the cre.st of a volcano. lntbe afternoon immediately after the House had been prorogued, Hni Kal uiaina marched over to the palace and presented a new Constitution to the Qneen with a pt-tilino that the seme be praraolctated to the people as the fumla mental law of the land. The matter of the new Constitution and petition had been prearranged, and it is stated that ita promulgation had been prom ised two weeks previously, and a mem ber from Lahaiua, William White, bad been actlvTy working up the move ment. A large crowd of ilawaiians had gathered around the pnlaeo gates and in the grounds near a flight of steps, and natives w re also gathered in large groups in the Government bndding yard and elan here in the neighborhood. The Queen retired to the blue room. She was seated at a table, at' J 1 dressed in the magnificent morning costume, with a sparkling coronet of diamonds. She at onee presented to them a draft of the new Constitution, demanded their signatures, and declare her inten tion to promulgate the same at once. Attorney General Peterson and Minii ter ot the Interior Colburn decidedly refused to ('o so. and Ministers Corn well and Parker, though more hesitat ; iv, joine I their colleagues in their refusal. All the Cabin- t now advised and even strongly urged Her Majesty not to violate the law, but sli4 was not to be dissuaded from her revolutionary course. Bringing her clinelied hand down upon the table Queen lailiuoka I mi said: "Gentlemen, I do pot wish to bear sny more advice. 1 intend to promul gate this Constitution, and 'lo it now." Proceeding, she ti Id tha Cabinet that unless they abandoned their re sistance at once she would go out on the steps of the palace nnd 1 11 tno ex cited crowd tnere assemble 1 that she wished to give them a new Conrtitn tion, but that the Stiiiis'ers were inside the palace hinderiug her from doiug it. The Ministers rem-rabered the riot at the courthonse. arid the fate of the unlucky representatives that fell into tho hands of the mob. They knew what this threat meant, and I efore it could be put into execution they fled for their lives, l-'rom the Government .Building the Ministers immediately sent word al out town asking the cit izens what sn port H e Cabinet could expect iu its re-istauce to the revolu tionary movement begun by the Queen, The leading citizens of every polit ical complexion hurried together at W. O. Smith's ollice, and wliie tht ir numbers were every instant a;i metite l by fresh accessions, held a hurried consultation as to the course to be pnrened. There was t'it one mind among those gathered together; traiU s ' men, luwyers, mechanics, merchants were of ono opinion L'nnnimity of sentiment reif ned such as has not been witnessed here for years, an I it was agreed without n dissenting voice that it was the duty of every citizen, without distinction of party, to support the law and liberties ot the people and to re list the revolutionary encroachment? f the Qneen. Messages to this effect ore at once dispatched to theCabim t. The Ministers now visit e I the palace again, not without apprehension that tney woimi be taken into custody; even if they suffered no bodily harm. Great pressure had been brought to bear upon Her MajVsty to induoe to go no further, and to retrace the revolu tionary steps she had already taken. While her troops stood drawn up be fore the palace, waiting for the 6ual word of command, the Queen hes itated. The conference in the blue room lasted a long time, wuile the re sult trembled in the balance. She could not be induced to give np her unlawful project but finally consented, with bitter relu stance, to a temporary post pom tnent of the premeditated coup. "The Queen was sn exceedingly an pry woman when at 4 P. M. on Satur day she returned to the throne-room, wuere were assembled the Hui Kalaiana, with most of the native tnemnersof the Legislature, Ihe Cab inet, the G yernor of Oaku, the young Princes', Chief Justice Jndd and Jus tice Hick erton, the staff, the ladies of the court, the Kabiii bearers, etc. She ascended the dais and spoke substan tially as follows: Princes, Nobles and Representatives: I -have listened to thousands of the Toices of my people that have come to me, and T am prepared to grant their request. The present Constitution is full of defects, as the Chief Justice will testify, as questions regarding it hare ho often come before him for settle ment It Is so faulty that I think a new one should be granted. I have prepared one, in which the right of all have been regarded a Constitu tion suited to the wishes of the people. I was reaily and expected to proclaim the new Constitution to-dav, as a proper occasion for it, and thus satisfy the wlhhes of my dear people. But with regret I say 1 have met with ob stacles that prevent it. Ketnrn to your homes peaceably and quietly and continue o look toward me aud 1 will look toward you. Keep me ever iu your love. I am obliged to postpone the granting of the Con stitution for a few days. I must con fer with my Cabinet; and when, a'ter you return home, von may see it, re ceive it graciously. Yon have my love, and with sorrow 1 now dismiss you. 'Mr. White replied, thanking ttie Queen and assuring her of the love of the people and that they would wait patiently nntil their wishes should be fulfilled. The Queen rospouded with thanks and 1 ft the throne-room. Mr. Kauuamauo then began in a loud voice an inflammatory harangue, which was suppressed. He demanded the lives of the memhera of the Cabinet who had opposed the wishes of Her Majesty, an. 1 declared that he thirsted for their blood. A few minutes later the Queen went ont upon the upper balcony of the pal ace and addressed the crowd. She tol 1 them t nit on account of the per fidy of her Ministers she was unable to give them the Constitution which she had promi ed, bat she would take the earliest opt ortnntty of procuring it for them. The crowd then gave three cheers. "Hejiresentativo White then proceed ed to the stejis of the palace and berau an address. He tola the crowd that the Queen and Cabiuet had betrayed them aud that, instead of going home peaceably they should go to the pulaee and kill and bury her. Attempts were made to stop him which he resisted, saying he would never close his mouth nntil a new Constitution waa granted. Finally he yielded to the expostulations of Colonel Boyd aud others, threw np his hands and declared that he was 'pau' for the pre ent. After thib the au dience dispersed. ".News was brought to the cii'zens down town that the attempt to carry a revolution through had for the moment failed. However, appreciating the fact that the had only just begun, they did not disperse, bnt continued to discuss the emergency. A committee of public safety whs formed, to which further consideration of the situation was dele gated, after which thd meeting, which had been animated by one heart aud one soul from the beginniLg, dis persed. AIont 5 o'clock in the afternoon the United States ship Boston landed about 300 nie-j. Each man had two be ts ot cartridges around his waist and was armed -with a rifle. The men marcbeu up to the office of the Consul General of the United States, where a halt was made. The marines were de tached and sent to the American Lega- j tion, in Mahana a- e., while the sailors j m .relied ont along Merchant st., with two Catling guns, and made a halt in front of J. A. Hopper's house. About sunset they moved to the grounds of J. B. Atherton, and, after a stay of several hours, returned to Arion Hall, where they camped over night. "A political meeting waa held last night at the Government Building, at which, besides the Cabinet, Paul Neu mann, Marshal Wilson, It. W. Wilcox, E. C. Macfarlnne and Antono Kesa were present. The editor of the Bul letin, Daniel Logan, was sent for. "Friends of the Queen assert that ber actions of Saturday are due to ad vice furnished bv Kahunas. The mem bers of the Hui Kalaiaina were violent ly augry when they learned that the Queen had weakened nnd would not give t hern the new Constitution. They were an 'abject-looking lot as they marched in King St. The revolutionist party held a meeting at the palace on Suuday morning. The Queen called in the Hawaiian pastors who were pres ent to pray that she might keep her throne, aud told them that evil-minded foreigners were trying to take it away from her. j "The early arrival of the Boston o it an important figure in the proceedings ot Saturday. In the opinion of many the presence of the warship prevented the promulgation of the Constitution. 'The new instrument which ihe rev olutionists wish to proclaim is really the old Constitution, which gave so much power to the sovereign. One of the Olivers of the household guards was heard to say that they had enough 1 arms aud ammunition to kill every Haole in the country. Representative Kau liamano stood on the palace steps on Satin day and wanted the natives to murder Ministers Parker and Colburn, beca. se they did not support the rev olutionary sehen'e." T he commissioners from the Provis ional Government this morning re ceived an invitution from the San Fran cisco Chamber of Commerce to meet the directors of that body and discu. s the situation of aflairs with the mer chants. T he invitation was accepted, and the Chamber of Commerce will probably adopt resolutions asking the United States Government to annex Hawaii. A mania for monogram" now per- vades London. They figure every-1 where on window curtains, portieres, ' carriage rugs, furniture, and drinking glasses, aud even on jewelry. i WUY A CEUTAIN SEA FISH IS ALL OF A JELLY. Once npon a time the King of tht Dragons, who had till then lived as i bachelor, took it into his head to pes mimed. His bride waa a yonnf Dragonette, just 16 years old, lovelj enough, in very sooth, to become tlx wile of a king. Great were the rejoic ings on the occasion. The fishes, bott great and small, came to pay their re spects and to offer' gifts to the newly wedded pair, and for some days all wait feasting and merriment. But, alasl even Dragons have their trials. Before a month Lad passed the young Dragon qneen fell ill. The doc tors aosed her with every medicine that was known to them, but all to nc purpose. At last they shook then heads, declaring that there was noth ing more to be done. The illness must take its course, aud she would probably die. But the sick queen said to her husband : "I know of something that will cure me. Only fetch me a live Monkey's liver to eat and 1 shsll get well at once." A live Monkey's liver I" exclaimed the K np. What are you thinking of, my dear? Why, you forget that we Drag ous live in the sea, while Monkeys live far away from here, among the forest trees on land. A Monkey's liver I Why, darling, you must be mad." Hereupon the ycung Dragon Queen burst into t. ars. "I only ask you for one suiad thing,' whimpered she, "and yon won't get it for me. I always thought you didn't really love me. Oh! I wish 1 had stayed at home with my own m-m-m-mamraa and my own papn-a-a-a!" Here ber voice choked with sobs and she conl.l say no more. Wei!, of course, the Dragon Kin? did not like to have it thought that he war nnkiud to his beautitnl young wif . So he sent for his trusty servant, tin Jelly-Fish, and said: "It is la'her a ditlli'ult job, but what 1 want you tc try and uo is to swim across to the 1 m J andptrsnade a live Monkey to come here vi itli yon. In order to ante the Monkey willing to come you cau tell him how much nicer everything is here in Dragonland than away where he lives But what 1 really want him fot is to cut out hi- liver and use it as medi cine for your yonng Mistress', who, at you know, is dangerously ill." So the Jelly-fish went off on hi! Strange errand. In those days he wa; just like any other fish, with eyes ami tins and a tail. He even hud little feet, which made bim able to walk on the land as well as to swim in the wat r. It did not take him n:nn,v hours tc swim across t o the country where the Monkeys lived, and fortunately there jnst happened to be a fine Monkey ski piug about among the 1 1 a cues ol the trees near the place wuere the Jelly-Fish landed. So the Jelly-tish said: "Mr. Monkey, I have come to tell you of a couutry far m ro beauti ful than this. It lies beyond ihe waves, and is called I'lag. chin.l. There is pleasant weather there all the veil round, there is always pleety of ripe frnit on the trees, atd there are none of those mischievous crestnres called Men. If you will come with me 1 will take von there. Just get on my back." The Monkey thought it would be fun to Bee a new country. So he leaped on the Jelly-Fish's back, and oil they started across the water. Bnt when they had gone abont half-way he bepaa to fear that perhaps there might be some hidden danger. It seemed so odd to be fetched suddenly in that way by a stranger. Ro he said to ti e Jelly Fish: "What ma 'e yon tliink of com ing for me?" T he Jelly-Fish answered: "My Master, the King of Dragons wants yon in order to cut out your liver, and give it as a medicine to his wife, the Queen, who is sick." "Oh I that's your little game is it?" thought the Monkey. But he kept his thonphts to himself and only ssid: "Xothing could please me better than to be of service to their majesties. Bnt it so happens that 1 left my liver hang ing to a brunch of that big chestnut tree wLich yon found me skipping alMint on. A liver is a thing that weighs a good deal. So I generally take it out and play abont without it during the daytime. We must go back for it." The Jel y-Fish agreed that there was nothing else to lie doij under the circumstances. For, silly creature that, he was, he did uot see that the Monkey was telling a story in order to avoid petting killed and hav ing his liver used as medicine for the fanciful yonng Dragon Queen. When they reached the shore of Monkeyland again the monkey bound ed off the Jelly-Fish's back aud up into the topmost brauch of the chestnut tree, in less than no time. Then he said: "I do not see my liver here. Perhaps somebody has taken it way. But I will look for it. Yon meantime, had better go back aud tell your mas ter what has happened. He might be anxious abont you if you did not get home before dark." So the Jelly-Fish started off a secor d time, and when he got home he tol. I the Dragon King everything just as it had happened. But the King ilew into a passion with him for his stupidity and hallooed to his cllicirs, saying: "Away with thia fellow I Take hiui ami bent him to a jelly 1 Don't let a single bone remain unbroken in hid body!" So the officers seized him and brat him as the King had commanded. That is the reason why, to this very day, Jelly-Fishes have no bones, but are just nothing more than a mass ol pulp. As for the Dragon Qneen, when she could not have the Moukev's liver, why, she made np ber mind" that the only thing to do was to get well with ont it Translated by B. H.

In the cookery of fresh meats the fact should be remembered that the appli cation of salt or water to their cut surfaces always draws out their juices, and their exposure to a moderate or slow heat has a like tendency, besides drying their natural moi: tnre; the more rapidly a piece of fresh meat can be cooked the more of ita natural juice and flavor it will retain. The addition of a little vinegar to tough meat sofrens its fibres; salt hai dens them, and at the same time extra Is their juices, and deprives them of more or less nutri ment. Tho drying of meat without smoking simply expels the juices by evaporation, nnd hardens the fibre with less destruction of its nutritive proper ties than recurs from the process of pickling, sa't.ng, or smoking it. ROlST BEFF. The washing of meat for rongtin? or baking is simply a matter of prefer ence; if the meat has been projicrly Bhinglit.-red nnd stored it will be clean a'.d wholesome under ordinary con ditions of temperature; auy torn or bruised portions may be trimmed off, nnd the surface of tlie meat wiped with a clean, rlamp towel. Washing or si liking meat in water draws out its juici-s, and imm irs its nutriment, food v Ine, snd general Appearance. After the me it is projwrly cleansed, put it into a deep pan, jnst large enough to coutaiu it, and place it in a very hot oven, or before the fire to brown. As goon as the stu face is brown, season the meat with salt aud pepper, and finish cooking it. In a hot oen fifteen minutes to a p. mid is the time usually allowed; it gives the meut a tine flavor and color, and preserves the juices, which are ui) er.it l e to a good roast. Tlie n eat may be busted with bntte- or iripp'ntrs w-hil.) it is being cookjd, but water should uot be used; the practice of putting water in tie pan wi'h h meat is not advisable, because the water n verean heut to the temperature cfll.esiirf .ee of the meat, and conse quently, whtrever it comes m contact with it", the result is so far to soften the broan outer surface, as to peru.it the juice to eseape. Any steam in the oven b .s the same tendency to withdraw t e juices. hen pravy is desired, place the meat after it is dure on a hot dish, and make the gravy as follows: Set tne dripping- au over the tire, firs' pour ing out all but about two table 'J oonfnls i f the drip) inps; next, stir i to the I an a hMipini; tut lesj i onfnl of flour, ' and stir it until it is brown; then gradu ally stir in sbout a pint of boiling WHter; stir the gravy nutil it boils, season it palatably, and then serve it w i t la tho meat. ! 'i hese diri etious will answer for the roastu.g of any meut. I FRITiD BKFF AND POTATOES. Use tor this dish odd r a t beef and mRshed potatoes. Cut the beef in rather thin eli'CR, aud see that the potatoes sre free from lumps and highly rnsoued; have ready over the tire a ; trying-kettle half full of fat hentinp, snd some rraeker or bread crumbs and beaten egg; first put the slices into a frying-pan containb g a little hot bnt- ' ter, and fry tl em sliphtly; then spread some mashed potatoes on lioth sides of the tlices, mil ibem in the crumbs, and ; then try them brown in the h t f .t: when they are done take them np ith a skimmer, lav them for a moment on brown paper to fne them from grease, ind then serve tli. in hot. JIFAT AND 1'OTATO PIE. "h( p a quart of any cold meat fine; reason it high y with salt and pepper, nnd pnt it into a butter d earthen baking dish. Chop one peeled onion very hue, fry it for tno minutes with a t'il li spoo' ful of drippings, aud pour it over the meat. WLihs choppi g the meat and frving the oniou stew any bones from the me t in a cupful of cold gravy, or use water if no gravy is on band, aud then strain it over tlie n eat and ouion; cover tho meat ai inch thick with cold mashed potatoes, smooth the top, brush it over with beaten epg, and bake the pie for half an hour lu a moderate oveu. MAIiVUND BAKED HASH. Tor this dish use equal parts of cold 1 corned beef ai d any kind of cold ponl- try chopped fine. To one pint of each add the raw yelks of two eggs, one tables; oonful of butter, one quart of potatoes peek-d and mashed, one onion . peeled and grated, and enough hot w derorgruvvofany kind to moisten the U:ii; season it palatably with salt salt and cayenne, stir in palatably with J twoegi'S beaten to a stiff frotu, and then put the hash into a bn'tered earthenware dish, and take it in a ' quick (Tin for twenty minutes; serve the hash hot in the dish in which it was baked. BROILED BEEFSTEAK. Icrnpe the surface of a steak with the back of a kuife to remove any bits of bone reniaiumg alter cutting it; tiira off tho tough on'er skin ami all grislle and exi-ess of fat, the natural proportion of fat bemg about one tuird the steak; wipe the steak with a damp cloth, but do uot wash it, because that would detract from its flavor and nu triment; place the steak on a gridiron close to a very hot fire and quickly brown it on both sides When it is brown on both sides fin sh coolior it ; to ine ieiren a gree. ami then a nson it with salt, and pepper. Abont rtftien minutes at a very l ot tire w II cook a steak an inch aud a half thick medium rare; twenty to twcit--five minntvs will co k it moikn to y well done. When it is done to ine desired de gree, put :t on a hot i latter, sea.' on it with salt, pepper and butter, and serve it at once. BEEFSTEAK AND OTSTERS. For a steak of from two to three pounds nse a quart of ousters, from which all bits of shell have been care fully removed. Br jil the steak with out salting it, as quickly as possible, I lacing it close to a very hot fire; as soon as it is brown season it with sa't and pepper, pnt it on a hot platter, and put oer it Ihe oysters; lay on tho oysters abont two table spoon fnls of hotter cut in half inch pieces, and put the dish in a ve y hot oven, nntil the oysters are done, which will be as soon as their edges begin to carl. Then serve the ciisa hot at once. BEEFSTEAK AND FRIED OMOSt, Have ready over the tiro a frying ke'tle partly full of fat; peel and slice six white on'ons, and throw each one as it is prepared'nto the hot fat, and fry it golden brown; take np each onion before frying another, putting the fried onions into a colander set in a plate on the back of the stvi ; con tinue to fry the onions until all are done. Jli antime put between the bars of a donb'e pridtron a po'terhone steak at least an inch thick; broil it for nix minutes on each side, at a hot fire, season it with a!t and pepper, lay the fried onions on it and seivnithot. It is always be. ter to buy a thick steak, even if" it is cut in two pieces, for separate cooking, than to have the meaf in n large thin slice. BEEFSTEAK AND 0X10X3. Choose lurf e white onions, and peel and slice a dozeu while the ateak is cooking. A round sirloin, or porter house steak, with very little bone may be used, in weight about two pounds. I'nt a 1-rgo frying pan over the fire and let it get so hot that a bit of butter dropped into it will sizz as soon as it touches the pan; then put the steak into the pan and quick y brown the under side; tnrn it over, season it with nalt and pepper, put the onions around it so that they touch the pan, an t turn ever the pan a dish or a cover that just fits it. Let the steak and onious cook nniil they are brown, and then serve them hot, both on the same dish.

Years ago, as the story goes, the north ern shore of Oneida Lake was an In dian reservation. The land north of this reservation was owned by a fain- . ily named Belknap. The elder Bel knap dreamed that in a grave in the Indian cemetery there was a crock con- , taining immense treasure, and that he was to go there with pick and shovel and turn around three times to secure the crock. He was so ntlected by the dream that he concluded to ferret out the mystery. He had no difficulty in finding the, : xact spot indicated in his dream, and promptly began his labors. He finul ly came in contact with some hard sub stance, which proved to be the crock. 1 Overjoyed at his good fortune, he for got the injunctions of his dream to turn around three times and seize the crock, when he was stunned by a flash of lightning. He was confined to Ms , bed several days from the shock. The crock disappeared. Ever since that time a brilliant light has appeared and reappeared at regular intervals as if keeping guard over the spot. This I year the light has been more brilliant ' i than ever before. Although the story ' may be untrue, it is certain that a weird and supernatural light makes its . appearance over an Indian's grave on i the shore of Oneida Lake. It appear to be a ball of fire about the size of au orange, and sways in the air about twenty feet above the ground. Some people have tried to go near enough to it to discover its nature, but upon reaching a certain point it disappears. How To Get Throngh Money. j We are promised," writes Jarnes Payne, " the autobiography of a young gentleman which is said to be entitled, How I Got Through 300,000 in Eighteen Months.' This is certainly ; quick work, but it docs uot beat the ' record. Compared with the good ,old times when 40,000 used to change hands in St. James Street in a single night, 16,000 a mouth is a slow rate of pecuniary phlebotomy. Still, if speed in expenditure is a virtue, the operation must be allowed to be creditable. A promising yonng states man, who made many experiments in this science, has left on record what he considered to be the quickest way. He had kept race-horses, and every thing else(except, by the by, his terms at Lincoln's Inn, about which there was a pretty story), but he came to the conclusion that keeping a newspaper which couldn't keep itself- was the best wcipsj." .....
