GopEY's LADY's BooK-The May number of this
elegant monthly Is received. The enterprising Cooley
appears determined to lead the van. We have often
spoken of the Lady's Book, and our subscribers who
do not take it. know its character already. But we
venture to say that there is scarcely 4 P~aterfamiiiaS
among them who is not already Il subscriber, but will
be coaxed TO take it, if the wives or daughters get hold
of the Nay number. The beautiful fashion plate,
containing four figures in colors, several pages of
fashions, and an infinite variety of patterns of en-
broidery work, Sc; all attest the unwearied industry
and consummate taste bestowed upon the embellish-
ments of this magazine. The letter press is equally
valuable. No man should begrudge the subscription
price at which the Magazine is furnished to sub
scribers in these Islands.
TARGET ExCURsIoN.-The Rifles turned ont on
Monday last for target practice on Waikiki plains.
Private Cobb made the best three shots, once hitting
the bulls eye, and twice hitting just outside of it
some Of the best shooting we have ever had in Hon
Olulu. We hope the corps will have a little more
of the war spirit infused into it during these war
like times abroad, and turn out more frequently for
drill and parade. Peace principles are decided
ly paramount here in Honolulu, when the uniforms
of both government regulars and volunteer soldiers
allowed TO gather dust and moths. a little
more grape, Capt. Brown or we shall lose our
name and renOwn.
