HAWAIIAN HULAHULAs ABgoAD.-We have not OBJ
served anything in the California papers regarding
the movements of the company of Hawaiian dancers,
which some months ago went over to the coast TO
exhibit their pagan practices to enlightened audi
ences, and which lately returned from thence. In
Wilkes Spirit Of the Times, however, we find a re-
port of the reception which they received at Grass
Valley in their tour through California. Though
the story reaches us in a somewhat roundabout way,
il has lost none of its spiciness or freshness
The HooIA ooLNs.-Accoriing TO the Grass Valley Ma
tionaL, the Kanaka dancers were roughly treated in that burgh.
We give the story as that paper has it THE performance Of the
Hamilton Hall, to an audience tolerabIy large and. in aecor-

extremely ludicruus, but not as obscene rs som pf the spectators
many who demanded their money back. Eggs were thrown a,
one of the dancers, we are tol', and numerous exclamation Of
Misrepresentation were INDUCED in by a portion of the spectators,
who should have taken a hint from our article Of Thursday, and
kept away or, finding themselves vrctlmized, ought to have
manifested their good sense by quietly leaving the Hall. Par
ties went behind the scenes, and such was the interruption that
the performance was considerably abbreviated. The Treasurer
made a speedy retreat, to avoid being compelled to refund some
ciusion of the perfornance, went to the American Horse' where
the company stopped. and wanted to take the Kanaka's wagon,

one keg of sherry. five dozen bottles Of cronk, eight boxes of
cigars, and twenty dollars in cash-the latter being distributed
iudiciously. The affair has created considerable local excite

Of the dissatisfied ones.
HARPER's MAGAzINE.-For choice miscellaneous
