HAWAIIAN FUNERAL The funeral pro-
cession which accompanied the corpse of the
son Of John Piioki "a chief on Saturday last
was novel and unusual sight, and illustrates
the fondness of the Hawaiians for display.
The escort partook somewhat of ludicrous
imitation of royalty, consisting first of the
lads horse with its equipage, saddle, &c and
with pair of d-topped boots strung across
the saddle. Then followed the hearse, and
after it two hundred females, all dressed in
deep mourning and mounted on horseback in
Hawaiian s:raddle fashion. Each female had
a string of yellow lauhalas (wreaths) around
her neck, with long black riding dresses,
reaching to the ground. After the females
came about one hundred and fifty men, also
on horseback, all dressed in black, with Grape
on their left arms. After passing through tie
principal streets, the procession went out to
the new tomb recently built by Mr.. Piikoi, ON
his farm at Waikiki, where tents had been
erected, and after the coffin was deposited in
tue tomb, feast was served up in original
hawaiian style Pacific Commercial AdUsy-
tISeT.

anecdote which deserves 10 be added 10 The
celebrated "Chapter on Hats" as Calculated
to show the VaiUe, if not demonstrste the
beauty Of the present fashion. We take IL from
the " EchOs Paristens" Of the Courier Dc,
Etats Unis.
"A band Of some twenty brigands lately
attacked, upon the road leading from Sofa TO
SamOkow, in Bulgaria, eleven travellers, mer-
chants and others The robbers proceeded to
plunder their victims, when there appeared in
the distance, three men wearing long boards
and bearing upon their heads sf0Ce funReks
UUryaur)-such arc the terms Of the report
As Is the custom in Turkey, only the high
tunctionaries are permitted TO wear full boards,
and as the European style of hats is little
known In those localities, the brigsnds became
frightened and Aed.
Inc three persons, who at q distance b ad
saved the party Of eleven, were no moro nor
less than three unarmed English journeymen

From the samo source, we derive the follow.

i" An actress at one of the Partisan theatres

INFAMOUS GERMAN PRoYER would
seem as if the collectors or inventors of prov
erbs must have been of the male sex, or if
proverbs come by inspirstion-in other words,
if the VOE POpuit is the FOE DeE, as, indeed,
the proverb says-women must be a very fsul-
ty set Of creatures, ss We find them represent
ed in list of some two or three hundred prov
erbs of collection Of thousands made by an
anonymous and indefatigable German writer
The following are a few of those about the
women:
Women have long hair and short wits
There Is only one bad wife in the world,
but every one thinks he has her.
When the man spoons in and the woman
shovels cut, the household must soon fall
through.
4 woman can spill more with thimble than
the man can draw with bucket.
A woman always keeps secret what she
does not know.
1t is easier to keep bag full of aeas than
4 woman.
There are only two good women in the world
the one is dead, and the other is not to be
found
Echo in the woods rainbow IN the sky,
And woElan's beauty soon pass by,
He who beats his wife, drives one devil out
and ten in.
Eo Who beats his wife, beats his left hand
with his right.
Rich wives make poor children.
