a SHARK SToRY.-Kanaka seamen, SAYS the
Honolulu Advertiser, are noted for their
yarns, which are sometimes rather fishy, and
not one iota behind the best of their more
enlightened brethren. The following was
current here few days ago Two native
sailors jumped overheard from the whaling
brig Wailua, (Which sailed from this port on
the 30th December,) when that vessel was
about thirty miles from land, preferred to
run their chances of swimming ashore to
cruise in the Arctic ocean. after having
been twenty hours or more in the water,
they fell in with one of the large sharks
which abound off Barber's Point Taking it
for granted that the monster was actuated
by no deadly motives, and that his errand
was only benevolent one, both the natives
sprang on the back of the shark, and guiding
his head with slap on this side or on that,
headed him direct for land, some ten miles
distant. Being almost fam:ished they picked
off and devoured the small fish which adhere
to the skin of the shark, and enjoyed during
their aquatic ride, such delicious feast of
raw fish as only Kanakas know the luxury
Of Having arrived within soundings, and
finding the fish reluctant to go farther, they
leapcd from his back, and swan safely ashore,
landing at Puuloa. We give the story as We
heard it. only adding that the sailors who
deserted from the Wailua were arrested and
are now in custody, and declare that they
are willing to testify to its truth. The dis
tance swan is probably correct, but the shark
part of the story is rather too tough for this
latitude

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGo.-One hundred
years ago there was not a single white man
in Ohio, Kentucky Indian, and Illinois TIER
ritories Then, what is now the most flour
lshing parts Of America, was as little known
as the country around the mountains of tn
moon. 1t was not until 1862 that the Hun
ter OF Kentucky" the gallant and adventur-
Gus Boone, left his home in North Carolina,
TO become first settler in Kentucky. The first
pioneer OF Ohio did not settle until twenty
years after this time A hundred wears ago
Canada, belonged to France and the whole
population of the United States did not er-
ceed a million and half of people. A hun.
drad years ago the great Frederick Of Prus.
sia was performing those exploits which have
made him immortal in military annals, and
with his little monarchy was sustaining a
single.handed contest with Russia, Austria
and France-the three great powers of Eu-
rope combined.
A Kindred years ago, Napoleon was not
born, and Washington was young and mod
est Virginia Co onel and the great events in
the history of two worlds, in which these
great but dissimiar men took leading parts,
were then scarcely foreshadowed A hun
dred years ago, the United States were the
most loyal part Of the British Empire, and
on the political horizon no speck indicated
the struggle which within a score of years
thereafter established the greatest Republic
of the world. A hundred years ago, there
were but four newspapers in America-steam
engines had not been imagined and railroads
and telegraphs had not entered into the re-
motest conceptions of man. When we come
to look back at it through the vista of histo-
ry we find that to the century which has
events in their bearing upon the happiness
of the world, than almost any other which
has elapsed since the creation Pittsburgh

CAUTION.-FISHs INFALLIBLE HAIR RE-
sT0RATIVE, now so extensively patronized by the
inhabitants of the Pacific coast needs better proof
of its popularity than the fact that certain parties
wishing to build up fortune the foundation it has
already laid have been induced to put up an inferior
article, under the name of "Premum Hair Tonic"
representing it to have taken the st Premium at the
State Fair Marysvile. This is false, as "FsH's HAIR
RESTORATIVE" was the only article of the kind to
which the First Premium Of Diploma was awarded
Justice an article which the proprietor has been at
vast expense to place before the public, Is deemed
sufficient apology for publishing this caution, espec
ally as the vendors of the so-called "Premium Hair
Tonic" have substantially copied the advertisement
OF the genuine article The Diploma awarded "FIsHs
