CAPTAIN GoDFREY.-We find in the Sacramento
Bee the following relating to the suicide of this
gentleman, who was we'll known to our residents /:
"About four months ago-Captain Godfrey. who
brought the Ajd1 to this port from the East-en-
gagged a room in the lodging house No. 208 Post
street. He was somewhat irregular in his hours,
although never dissolute in his habits, and by his
singular demeanor at times: attracted considerable
attention from ellow-lCdgeIs. His conduct was
always correct. and he was uniformly courteous
and obliging. He was subjeeT to fits of dependency,
and seemed to suffer terribly from some secret
affection. Three days ago he left his room. and
since that time the landlady knew nothing of him
until Saturday morning. About h~alf-past 7 O'Clock
the person who is employed to clean up the rooms
entered the apartment occupied by Captain God
frey, and found him lying dead upon his couch,
dressed in a black su::. A small, haIf-flied vial.
labeled 'Morphine-Poison,' told the sad story.
He had evidently made every preparation for cem-
hitting the rash act, and placed bis effects in or
der with the GOODNESS OF one retiring to sleep. a
photograph of a woman was fonnd in his memoran-
dunn book, and near the picture is written in pencil
"A thoroughly heartless woman On the back Of
the card is the following note:
"The mistress Of d. W, formerly nv wife she
is the cause of my death. C.. GopFREY.v
The deceased. was about 4s years of age. a ma
tive of Providence, R.. l., and commanded the re-
spect OF all who knew him in business circles.n
FIRE WooO.-Why do We not have . statute to
regulate the measuring Of FIRE wood =! In other coun-
tries. older than this. there are regular officials en-
ployed, whose business it is to measure wood, and the
rules prescribed are very particular. Sometimes, in
mid-winter, poor people have to buy as low as a few
feet of wood, and the law and its officers take care
that they get their right measurement. Every house
keeper in Honolulu knows that " q cord of wood, is
often q singularly short cord, being apparently
squared by the size of the dray-or other circum-
stances. - @.t4

NAPOLEON'S DIFFICULTIES AND DAN
GERS-ENGLAND OFFERS A CHANCE
on ESCAPE

NAPOLEON'S DIFFICULTIES AND DAN
GERS-ENGLAND OFFERS A CHANGE
OF ESCAPE.
From the A. T. Herald.
England has offered to the French Emperor
q way of escape from the difficulties and
dangers which threaten his overthrow and ex-
pulson, and there establishment of the repub-
lie in the further prosecution of this war
Englands proposition is simply a treaty of
peace. Napoleon intimates through Lord
Lyons that he is ready to bury the hatchet.
but King William replies to the special mes
senger of Queen Victoria that if France wants
peace she must ask an armistice in the usual
way, or leave the issue to the arbitrament of
war; This reduces Napoleon, then, to the
war or an armistice, and while by war his
empire may be lost, through an armistce
the empire and his dynasty may yet be saved
1t is probable, too, that with very little urg-
ing on the part of her Britanic Majesty the
Emperor will be persuaded even to an ar
mistice.
Why not! Excepting asuspension of hos
tilities with treaty of peace what alterna-
tive of safety is offered to Napoleon? With
the presence of the Prussian invading army in
front of Paris ''the republic" is threatened,
and from present appearances this invading
army will not De arrested till in front of the
walls of Paris Stout old King William, over
difficult line of approach from her eastern
frontier, has passed into the heart of France.
Through a network of fortified cities and
towns, over mountain ranges and difficult
rivers, fighting and routing at every
step the flower of the French army, its
best generals and its best soldiers, the
massive columns of the German Con-
federation have maintained their resistless
advance towards the French capital. Com
pared with the natural and artificial obstruc-
lions they have passed, the obstacles which lie
between them and Paris are comparatively in
significant. They have shown that against an
invading army, powerful enough to protect
itself in the open field, front, fianks, and
rear, detached fortified towns and cities,
mountain defles and river crossings, are no
impediments; that all such distractions NAV
DE swallowed up in the general advance. II
ollows, then, that, having driven the French
army from the strongest defensive lines
which lie between the French Rhine border
and Paris, there is nothing that can arrest
t he advancing German columns except more
tubborn and effective resistance in the open
feld than any resistance they have SO far en-
countered.
The invading army of the Germans is re-
