Where the sun loves to pause
That the night only draws
A thin veil Ger The day
Where simply to feel that we breathe, that we i've,
Is worth the best joys that life elsewhere can sive.'
ARTISTIC Some of our readers are aware that Mr..
Denny, a marine artist of considerable note, arrived
from San Francisco in the Comet, having landed at
Hilo, and visited the crater on his way here. He is
now in the city and engaged in executing views of
island scenery, one of which, a picture of Diamond
Head, with the bay and shore of Waikiki, can be
seen in our office, (the room over the book store,)
where any who wish to see it can do So 1t is a
faithful copy of the original, and one of the finest
pictures of that remarkable headland that has ever
been exhibited here. Mr.. Denny will visit other sec
tons Of the group, and make oil paintings of any
scenery that may be deemed worthy of being copied.
The visit of such an accomplished artist affords an
opportunity of securing fine pictures of our island
scenery, and our foreign residents should literally
encourage an artist of such merit.
NARROW ESCAPES We learn that Mr.. j. III. Black
had n narrow escape from drowning ON Wednesday
last. In company with another gentleman he was
enjoying n boat sail, as only sailors can enjoy this ex-
hilarating sport, when his companion stepped for
ward for something, leaving the boat in charge of
MIR. Black, when the boat went over. After being
sometime in the water a canoe gave them timely as
sistance by which they were enabled to right the
boat and regain the shore.
On the same afternoon, a gentleman on horse
back and a boy on foot, passing through Palace walk,
were startled by a couple of bullets striking the fence
within a few feet of them, accompanied with pistol
reports Some careless persons were no doubt prac-
tcing with firearms, perhaps in anticipation Of trou-
BILE with the Butaritarians.
FoR KAU.-The schooner Kona Packet sailed for
Kau on Friday, taking a second full cargo of lum-
Der for the people of that district who lost their prop
erty by the late earthquakes. The lumber is fitted
into house-frames, with doors, and battens for thatch-
ing, so that all that is necessary to complete each
house after the frame is put up, will be the thatch
roof. In all, eighty-seven house-frames have thus
far been sent up. This method of supplying the ne
cessities of the people of Kau is by far the best, and
the one likely to result in the most permanent good to
the people there. With good houses to protect them
from the weather, and with a constant demand for
the people there should not be as easy if not better
than it was a year ago.
- Late arrivals from Hawaii report no change
in the appearance of the volcano. A correspondent
in Kau writes, under date of June 18th "No news
of any consequence to communicate. We have an oc-
casional shake. At Kapapala which appears to be
over the centre of volcanic activity, the shocks aver
age about four a day. The destitute natives in this
district are mostly lying around, watching every OPP
portunity to steal what they can, trading off the
goods sent to them by the charitably disposed, for
food, eating the food and waiting for a fresh supply
from your city, -
Es- The Missionary packet Moraing Star sailed
at 4 T. NJ. on n six months cruise among
the Micronesia Islands. intending to visit every mis-
sion station, to which she carries supplies. Rev. II.
Bingham and wife. and several native Missionaries.
took passage in her. Mr.. BIS health will not per-
NIT him to reside permanently there. but he will
three or four months laboring with the peo-
pie among whom he was formerly stationed, and
will return in the packet. He is engaged in trans
lalng and preparing Micronesian works for the
press. -
An impression prevails with some that the
salute and ball ON board the .Nohongo are a part of
the programme adopted by the citizens. The pro-
gramme as published is, so far as known, the one for
the day but the salute and ball are separate and
distinct from any action on the part ofour citizens, and
are given by the Captain and Officers alone.
MAUI On Saturday last His Honor Judge Davis
took passage for Maui to hold the summer term of
the circuit court lie was accompanied DIV the At
torney General and several lawyers, whose services
will all be needed there. A J. Lawrence, Esq
who has been appointed Circuit Judge for Maui, vice
A. VI. Kahslewai, also took passage thither.
Esy- BY a card in another column. it twill be seen
that DIR. Beck, of the Anatomical Museum in San
will, during his stay in this city, give
medical advice to any who may wish his services.
His Office is in the cottage next to Mr.. Ritson's
in Beretania street.
