MAorouE hEAoKD1sArnE.-On satur day night,
as a horse belonging to Mr.. H. A. Carter, was stand
ing at the gateway Of his residence opposite the
Methodist Chapel. some light fingered thief came
along and being tempted by the appearance Of the
saddle, which was nearly new, and thinking, perhaps,
that he had a better right to it than its owner, very
coolly took it off the horses back and quietly disap-
peared. On the owner coming out, he was Of course
rather astonished to find his saddle-non est. Such
glarirg acts Of theft and rascality, call for increased
vigilance on the part Of the native police.
CLEAR SIDEwArKs.-It is n rule strictly observed
in civilized cities, that the sidewalks should be kept
clear, especially Of quadrupeds. It is q most COM
mon practice in Honolulu to frequently leave horses
standing for a long time right across the Sidewalk
a practice that is very annoying. especially to the
softer sex. This is q great nuisance, and should be
remedied. -

AMusEMEN Ts.-Tho talented artists, the Bell
Ringers, left last week for a visit to Lahaina, where
they arrived on Saturday morning. after rather a
rough passage. They performed on Monday and
Tuesday, and will return to Honolulu this week, and
probably be here Friday or Saturday morning,
We hope they will meet at Lahaina as liberal a patron-
age rs they deserve. For the last few nights, Mitch
ellis Ministries have been performing at the Theater in
this city, but at present are at the Merchants Ex-
change. We notice that Lee & Benedict's Circus, is
daily expected here. Among the variety of amuse-
ments. the tastes of Honolulu people ought to be
satisfied. -
A Coon JoKE.-An American whaler, burning
scraps to try out her oil in the night, was seen by the
steamship Circassian, and mistaken for a burning
vessel. The Circassian went out of her way to afford
relief. The N. Y Courier & Enquirer says:
"The practice of burning scraps by whalers to try
ont their oil ut sea By night is not common. The in
cident m question, by those who witnessed and heard
it, was said to be AN isolated one. If such n practice
is getting in use, il should be inquired into and abol-
ished. For If whalers are allowed to make midnight
bonfres on the ocean, alluring steamers, TO the res
cue.' they will cry wolf too often for the safety Of
other shipping that may really be in Distress,

THuRIow WEED'y SLATE.--We have pablished,
from time to time, graphic extracts from the
Washington letters Of our own and other corres-
pondents, in which frequent allusion is made to
Thurlow Weeds wonderful slate. II is great
thing, that slate-a remarkable slate "a curious
and most interesting slate-a slate which is al
ways full of the most abetruse arithmetical
calculations, and covered with the most impor
tant statistics-free wool, printing and other
wise.
According to the Weed slate, it appears
that upon the election of a republican Speaker
the Chevalier Forney was to be chosen Clerk,
which Office he stands much in need Of Ac-
cording to all accounts, his paper in Philadel-
phia is in debt to the amount Of fifty thousand
dollars 1t is a very violent and very expen-
sive journal. OF the money already lost in it,
ten thousand dollars, it is understood, came
from the Douglas democrats; ten thousand
from the friends of Fcrney in Pennsylvania, the
men who are inimical towards Mr.. Buchanan
because they did not get the Offices and ten
thousand from the friends of Seward and Weed
Singular as it may seem, we find the friends OF
Seward and Douglas contributing to the sup
port of the same journal. 1t seems now, how
ever, that Douglas has left Forney to his fate,
and gone back to the administration. Forney,
then, is left alone with his new friends, Weed
and Seward, and he must have the pickings of
the Clerkship to pay his debts and keep his
paper going.
The next entry on the slate is the name of
the nominal printer to the House-Sam Bowles,
of Massachusetts. OF course if Bowles is
chosen, Wendell will do the work, and the sur
plus over and above what he asks will be used
by Weed as an electioneering fund for Seward
The job, altogether, is worth million or so;
and Weed will make Congress pay out of the
printing the expenses of grand Presidential
campaign, after the same fashion that Lawrence
& Stone, Of Boston, had to bleed for free
wool. That is the Thurlow Weed slate which
we hear SO much about; and very curious
slate it is, too.

agreat deal that he condenses the important

graphic report Of all the speeches made in Con-
gress before any other journal. The Express
editor reminds us Of a story which we heard of
