The following minute, relating to the late Mr..
Horace Mann, was entered upon the records OF the
club
The members of the Hawaiian Club desire to record
their appreciation Of the character and labors OF
their late associate, Mr.. Horace Mann. While the
purity and usefulness Of his character, worthy OF the
honorei name he bore, had won the regard and atiec-
tion Of all whom his modesty would admit 10 . knowl-
edge of his worth, his services IN his chosen depart
ment Of science gave promise Of great usefulness
and distinction and it seems altogether fitting that
the friends of Hawaii, which was the scene of his
early laborS and Of his first recognized success, should
acknowledge their deep sense Of the loss which they
have sustained III his early death.
ATTEMPT To FIRE 4 VESSEL Bliven of the
whaleship Eii=gbch Smith, informs US that an at
tempt was made to fire his vessel on the 4th instant,
while off the island of Maui. About seven O'Clock in
the morning, il was discovered that the lower fore
hatch was of, which being unusual, parties were
sent down 10 ascertain the reason. ON reaching the
hold il was found that Il fire had been built abreast
of the hatch, but from some cause it had gone out.
The hatch was left off to give "A chance for a draft Of
air diu II Is strange llll the attempt WAS u SUI
ceSsful. -
OUR Observation-Disclosures differ, some are modest,
others not SO modest. Some claim the right to make
a public use OF the most private entertainments at
times in such a gross manner as to be annoying to
sensitive, retiring people. Our jenkins. was indis-
posed on Tuesday evening and was consequently
preserved from the temptation which aSsailed the
Jenkins of another local paper. Items are scarce,
which may be offered as an excuse for the other
Jenkins, and to those to whom il may be necessary
the same excuse is offered for this item.
The mail steamer Idaho, which arrived early
yesterday morning, had a long passage Of twelve
and a half days, having encountered head winds the
entire passage except the first three days out from
san Francisco. She brings but few passengers,

and about 300 tons OF general cargo. She will prob
ably leave again for san Francisco Wednesday next.

one years since, and who has never left that Island
