England via New Zealand. was hintcl at as having
had something to do with his departure. All these
rumors. We con assure the public. are wholly un-
founded. and 80 Ear as we can learn. Mr.. Hopkins has
len in the capacity OF a private gentleman. and VIII
travel in such capacity alone. We're we disposed to
be ccnsorious. We might turn back To the pages Of the
Polyn.siaH. rake up some historical passages. and
draw u moral t~hcrcfrorn, that would DC instructive To
all. But We pass It by.
VALLEY wATEr-Our attention has been called
several times To the condition Of the water furnished
10 the town TO drink. \ few days since We drew a
,umblcr full from n faucet, to satisfy our curiosity.
and found it actually alive with insects chasing each
other like rats around an empty meal bin. These in
sects we're visible to the naked eye; but placed under
a small maguifying glass they appear Of a size alto
gcthcr too huge to pass through ordinary threats.
How long since the reservoir has been cleaned out we
know not, but are sure IT needs attending to. The
health of the city should not be sacrificed for the sake
of economy. The GdSste furnishes its readers with
an analysis of the Puma mineral waters. If it viii
now obtain an analysis of the Nuuanu drinking
water, and find what proportion consists of animal
culc, or animal matter Of any kind, the solution viii
be of more general interest.
An ORDERLY CREW. The Deputy Sheriff states
that during his connection with the police force, now
upwards of ten years, he has never seen n more
orderly crew than that Of the TuseGrOrd. This is a
well deserved compliment, as many citizens We're un-
aware that the crew of this vessel had liberty on
shore during their stay in port. The men enjoyed
the usual pastime of horse riding and even racing,
but the latter was INDUCED in on the plains, where
they were informed they could ride as fast "a they
chose. If sailors would remember this rule, they
would fall foul of the police less often.
THETA Chinaman on Nuuanu street lost a
watch and money on Thursday morning, and notified
the police of it. 4 diligent search was commenced;
but conscience or something else forced the thief to
return the property. The Chinaman on sweeping
out his store the next morning found the watch ON
The floor, it having been thrust under the door.
D.....- .v-.,r ywar.laS Ghnull make a ngfp of the
makers name, and number of the watch, that the
police may have a clue. The number of this watch
was given as 1870, when in reality it was 26,O!O.
A yEw WHALER.-Wc have seen a photograph Of
Messrs. Hackfeld s. Co.'S. new vessel, Count Bis
marck, which left Bremen August ! for this port.
She is IA finely modelled vessel and makes a beautiful
picture. This is the second new whaler built for
this house. \ third one is building, to leave Bremen
in the spring. This is the proper way TO carry ON
the business from tbs port-obtain new vessels built
expressly for the service and place them ia charge OF
the most successful men in the fleet. There will be
no such word rs fail to an enterprise thus carried on.
SAN,SG TREFs.-Our attention has been called TO
the misnomer of .s Monkey-pod" given to the beau
tiful shade tres 50 prominent on the valley road.
The Latin name of the family or class to which it be-
/ longs, tTiuSitAtis ~ ohn -lVN'
belonging TO the family number about one hundred.
The correct name of the tree to which we allude is
Samnng, which is more c~uphonius and should be
adopted. =
TT We see by the san Francisco Times that
HENnY TioMrsON, of this city, who went to san
Francisco IA few weeks since To enter the practice of
law, has been admitted by Judge Dwinelle 10 practice
in the fifteenth district Court in san Francisco city.
MI. Thompson is Hawaiian born, but is an American
citizen the same as though barn in the United States,
and ms such is entitled 10 the privilege of practicing in
American Courts on the same conditions as n person
born ia the States.
