SOMEWHAT GREEN

AT HoNoLrIu-Rooer Barry, the California Temperance
Legion, and w. p. of the Sons Of Temperance, is at Honolulu,
lecturiug on Temperance. 1t looks like sending Goals to New
castle. this sending temperance lecturers to a Kingdom where
liquor is not allowed to he made or sAd.-Ahd.
The ltcmizer of the Alta has evidently never
visited Honolulu. or he might have known that the
boot is on the other leg. Liquors are freely sold in
Honolulu and illegally manufactured all over the isl
ands. and are altogether more abundant than water.
Mr.. Barry. who returned to san Francisco in the
Comet, VII he able to %enlichten the press there
on the subject. The prolibitory law applies to
" natives of this Kingdom while there is no re-
%striction to foreigners or foreign born subjects.
DEATH OF Rev. j. :. ENERsoN-On Tuesday
last. the Rev. John s. Emerson died at Waialua,
Oahu. of a~popleXy and partial paralysis. This
was the third attack of a~pcplexy which Mr.. E.
had sustained. the first having occurred in 1859.
the second in 1868. and the final one in lsG7-four
wears elapsing between each attack. He came to
these Islands in the missionary reinforcement of
1872. with the late DIR. Armstrong. Mr.. Rogers the
printer. and others. and with the exception of three
years spent at Lahainaluna, has resided c|ontinu-
ously at Waialua. as the pastor of the native church
there. He was a native of the State of Maine. and
was about CO years of age At the time of his death.
\ SMAsH-UP.-Las Thursday, as a horse and
buggy belonging TO Messrs. Along ~ Achuck, we'll
known Chinese merchants. was standing in front of
their store on Nuuanu street, a mischievous native
boy came along. beating a tin can. The horse.
which is an imported animal. took fright at the I'M
usual noise. and started Off up King street. at a
furious rate u~psctting and smashing the buggy.
which was a very fine one. leaving nothing intact
except the wheels. The horse was also consider
ably injured about the heels in kicking himself
clear of the wreck. and did not stop running until
he got to Manoa.
\ NEW Ron, PAc5ET-We understand that the
schooner Fr,uter. owned by c. \. Williams Il Co.
having been put in thorough order. will be placed
on the route bctweed Honolulu and Kona. She
will be under the command of that veteran coaster.
Captain Lorenzo Marchant. who in former wears
was so well and favorably known as master of the
old hekUdVOhj. in the kona trade. The residents
of that part Of Hawaii will doubtless be pleased to
hear that the Captain is going TO return to his old
route, aud we opine that the new packet will prove
an advantage to the travelling public.

pal of the Royal School. gave a second exhibition

purchase of a melodeon and chemical apparatus

rcction Of Prof Kinney, with the able assistance of
Miss. Mary Cooke. is. We are pleased to learn. in a
tlourishing condition.
VINO GETS w?-Whalemcn will remember that
the wreck Of the ship Jptayio was deserted last
fall in the Arctic. and when last seen was floating
safe and sound. She had 1900 barrels of oil on
board. which. even if the vessel went 10 pieces.
ought To b. somewhere in that region ashore or
afoat.-or perhaps in the hands of the Indians.
There may be a chance for a e fat take il the
