AnsioSaNou SiIted-
That reminds US of the story of an Englishman
and Yankee travelling in a very fast express train
in England. The bell began to ring. when the lat
ter asked, whats the matter?'' oh" said the
former, " they have TO begin ringing the bell ten
miles before they get to a station, er else the train
would run by before the bell could be heard.
Wonderful isn't it? l suppose they havn't invent
ed bells in America yet."
why, yes replied the Yankee, " we've got
DSliS, Dut CAN l Use them on our railroads.. We
run so fast that the train always keeps ahead of
the sound the sound never reaches the village till
after the train gets by"
"lndeed!' exclaimed his companion.
Fact" said the Yankee, &" had to give ND bells.
Then we tried steam whistles, but they wouldn't
answer, either. l was on n locomotive when the
whistle was tried. We were going at q tremendous
rate hurricanes were nowhere. and | had to hold
my hair on. We saw a two-horse wagon crossing
the track, about five miles ahead, and the engineer
let the whistle on, screeching like a trooper. 1t
screamed awfully, but it wasn't no use. The next
thing l knew. | was picking myself out of a pond
by the roadside. amid the fragments of the locomo-
tive, dead horses, broken wagon, and dead engineer
lying beside me. Just then the whistle came along,
mixed up with some frightful oaths that l had
heard the engineer use when he first saw the horses.
Poor fellow! he was dead before his voice got to

NAvAL~-On Saturday afternoon, the Prussian
steam sloop of war Fiuetd, Captain Kuhn, arrived
at this port, 81 days from Callao, en- route for
China. She will remain in port three or four weeks
before proceeding to her destination. The Vineta
carries IS guns, and has 800 men. She is the first
Prussian war vessel that has ever visited this port.
In fact, Prussia has not been known as a naval
power until very recently, but now that she has Sc
cured ONE safe ports on the Baltic, she is construct
ing a navy, and doubtless her ships and flag will
ere long be seen in every port. The following is a
list of her officers, for which we are indebted to F..
\. schaefer, Esq, Prussian Consul:
Cdptaiu-EUHS.

ARRESTED-The burglary to which we referred
last week as having been committed at DR.. Smiths
residence, proves to have been done by a native
employed on the Kualoa Plantation. After getting
through with his work Saturdays, he was in the
habit of coming into town and making his deprcda-
tons. thus carrying on two trades at one time. Be
sides the above, he entered Mr.. Kruger's dwelling
the same night and stole some clothing, and is be-
lieved to have entered Mr.. S. NJ. Carriers and Mr..
Jones' dwellings in Nuuanu street. Most of the
stolen property has been recovered. He was very
cool in his operations. After robbing DR.. Smiths
house, he put on the stolen hat, coat, watch and
boots, and thus equipped returned to the plantation
to work. Some jewelry which he stole he gave to
native women. When asked how he came by the
things, he said he obtained them from a Portuguese.
On Thursday he was tried in the Police Court. and
sentenced to five years hard labor-a severe but
just sentence. -
FANCY POULTRY.-Mr. Waterman has a breed of
poultry, imported from Java by DIR. Hillebrand,
which is really a curiosity. 1t is the Jungle or
Silky Fowl rather small in size. with very pecu-
liar, silky feathers. resembling somewhat those of
an emeu or ostrich. The color is white, though
there is another variety of the same fowl in India,
the color of which is generally yellow. They are
remarkably pugnacious, and on one occasion re-
Gently one of the hens, having a breed of chickens,
was attacked by a large rat. She Immediately
showed fight, and flew at the rat with perfect fury,
biting and SCRATCHING it till after a contest of ten or
fifteen minutes, it was left dead. This variety is
priced mainly as a curiosity, the hens not being
good layers, and the eggs are very small.
E3- Among the passengers by the ship .Hdry
Frances is Mr.. J. B. Holden, who visits these ISL
ands as agent of one of the San Francisco refner-
les, to confer with DIR planters on matters pertain
ing to their mutual interests. and who has had large
experience IN the sugar trade. He will probably
visit all the plantations on the group. and our
planters will doubtless find him capable of impart-
ing information OF benefit to them and the sugar
interest generally.
DrE.-The Champion passed a ship or bark on
the 9th. in latitude 30. probably a whaler bound to
these islands. She may have gone in to Hilo or
Lahaina. The c. had fresh s. Z. winds to that lati-
tude, and then struck the trades which brought
her on to this port. -
Es- The bark Comet sailed Saturday after
noon. about five O'Clock, taking nearly a full list of
passengers. and a good freight. We give her Is
days passage over.
STRANGERS FRIEND SoCIETY-The next meeting
will be held at Madame Varigny's in Nuuanu Val
ley on Tuesday afternoon and evening, Oct. c.
