Ar THEIR Old TRCAS AGAuH.-By the San Fran
cisco papers we learn that the sailoriawyers have
begun 10 trouble the whaleships there as usual.

DO say that if whaleship masters persist in visiting
san Francisco. they must expect TO find trouble
with the lawyers there. The truth Is, unless San
francisco whdlenen are treated like gentlemen on
the cruise North, and fare like the officers, they
commence i suit for cruel treatment on their re
turn 70 port, and cause the ship to incur a heavy
bill u expense, or compel the captain To compro-

WILD HoRsES-On Monday afternoon as three
young ladies were riding through King street in
one Of Wards carriages, driven by a native. the
horse took fright. ran away, and the result was a
general s~mash-up of carriage and contents. No
lives were lost nor bones broken. but how they
escaped with simply severe bruises is q miracle.
The same day. as we were leaving the scene of the
above accident. the horse of a native took freight,
and landed the rider very uncercmoniously in the
road. He fell from his horse like a log of wood.
and for a moment We thought there might be a
death 10 chronicle. But he fortunately survived
the heavy fall. -

MECHANICS-There seems to be q scarcity of
good mechanics. especially on the other islands of
this group. so great Is the demand in some
places for masoHs and carpenters. that nrrsnns en-
tIreiy unaccustomed 10 trowel or plane have TO
take hold and do the jobs required. and work not
stands still for want Of mechanics.
Five carpenters arrived in the Murray last week.
and all found employment on Hawaii Immediately
on landing here. Wages range from two TO four
dollars per day, according as to whether the men
find themselves or not.
70 An exchange says that an old whaleman,
who believes the story that JEFF. Davis J'4b5ered
when he was caught by their lanccrS. suggests
that he be put on board a whalcship and tr;el there.
The same remark would apply as well to old Wad-
of the Shenandoah. and if he ever does get on
board one of our whalcrs, he will be passed into
TIE hlubberroom in double quick time.
