TEF We hope for an arrival from Frisco during
the coming week, but knowing ones on the cor
ner'' assure US that it is needless to look for the
Comet till after the LIST November Certainly not,
if she had such a passage over as the Cambridge
was having. This latter vessel was spoken by the
Geo. Houlqnd Oct. 10 Oh days out from HOnolulu)
in Lat. 20, Long. 1859 40-sbout 45O miles from
Honolulu, having been becalmed there three days.
This would give her about 40 miles per day TO the
locality where she was spoken. The Yankee which
sailed six days after the Cambridge. stands a fair
chance of overtsking her. Perhaps the vessels COM
ing this way have had better winds than those
bound 70 the coast.
SUGAR YRo4 LAHAISA.-We are indebted TO Mr..
Oudinot, for a key Of sugar manufactured by
Messrs. Campbell & Turton from cane grown on his
arm-the identical cane that grew so fast that the
rafting leaves kept boarders awake o nights in the
neighborhood. We saw the cane with our own eyes,
measured the stalks 101 inches around, and hear It
has turned out p tons of sugar TO the acre. This
article more nearly resembles the San Francisco
- coffee sugar" than any thing we have seen. 1t
certainly is a superior article, and a credit to all
concerned in making or growing It.
GERMAN ASSIvERsARY.-The German residents
observed on Moniay evening the anniversary Of one
Of the most celebrated events in their history-the
battle Of Leipsic, which began October Is and ended
October IS, 1913. The battle was fought on the
plain of Leipsic between the allied armies and Ma
poleon, and resulted in the defeat of the latter. One
historian says The three days battle fought in
Leipsic was the grave Of the French Empire" The
display of fireworks on the evening alluded to was
very creditable, and the bonfire lasted for at least an
hour. -
- The first autumn rains fell last week, and
abundant showers are reported on this island and
Maui, and probably they extended all over the group.
With the rainy season. light winds and Gains set in,
and the public will miss the steamer Rilduea. The
.n5tie was three days getting down from Lahaina,
and the Emma Rookie was six days from llilO to this
port. The Warpick, with 90 head of sheep and a
crowd of passengers from Molokai. got out of water,
and was supplied from the JNtttie. The MOI
WahiRe, was also FIVE days from Hanaiei, Kauai, to
this port. -
APPLEs.-This delicious foreign fruit is very
abundant on the coast this year; and so low-priced
(SI so TO S2,5 n box) that it is a wonder to US
that more are not imported. The Daring brought
some so boxes Of the finest we have ever eaten here.
We learn that Messrs. Bolles s. Co. intend to have a
regular supply sent from Oregon by every packet.
to be picked and packed expressly for the islands
This will ensure their coming fresh and in good
order. II is almost the only foreign fruit that
can be safely imported, all other varieties being too
perishable. | -
= The .. S. Frigate Lancaster, bearing the flag
Of Admiral Bell, arrived at San Francisco, on the
18th of September, from the Southern coast. We do
not learn that she WAS to visit the islands, but as it
was part of Admiral Bells plan last spring to come
here, it is possible that he may do so.
