COMMENTS ON OUR FIRST APPEARANCE" Why,
that paper has turned a regular somersault-oh I
yes. thought so-sound on coolie yet, though
" Well, don't know the appreciation Of the Master
and Servant Act is a good deal quali6ed-neyer can
make that paper as il was, when w. had it-was by
all odds the best commercial gazetteer Of the Paci6c.''
Never mind, you ID ought to give him a fair trial,
this is only the first number, who knows, but under
present menGge it may eclipse its former glory
You know it never did suit everybody even under
its former able editorship.'' "Do you expect that a
newspaper is going for 10 90 to suit everybody
" Why, yes, the thing is just as easy as rolling of n
log." "How-make a stew, with each persons
ingredient, as for example, a little co0lte for this one
little Master and Servant Act for another. n little
OF the act to mitigate for a third, few slight re-
Elections on the Government and its Ministers for a
fourth, twitting Of the Gazette as a natural conse-
quence for a fifth, then season with charcoal for n
sixth, and sweeten up high with No. l sugar, to end
all, and II that don't make a ~palatable mess for the
dear public, then we don't know what will" "And
II the new editors can't please everybody. then. like
the man out west who couldn't keep a hotel without
getting pay from his boardcrs, let them sell out 10
somebody that can, Such were q few of the com
ments we heard on Saturday morning ON our usual
beat around town.

SOMETHING New UNDER THE SUN-THE Press AND
PRoGREss.-As long as the press has existed in this
kingdom as one Of the recognized estates, still it was
left for a late arrival, now a confrsre of a leading
journal in this city, to show the ancients the proper
position of the press before the Courts. This gentle
man, in a most ~felicitous manner, at the opening Of
the Supreme Court ON Monday last, stated to the
Court that familiar as he was with the usages of civil
lied countries, he noticed a radical deficiency here,
that no provision was made for the accommodation
of reporters in the Court room. Is it not strange
that we have been 80 long cropping, benighted, in
sensible to this great want till the light Of this south
ern constellation breaks in upon US, and teaches us,
all of a sudden, what ought to have been required
long ago. The Court very courteously conceded the
privileges, and ordered the Marshal to make the
proper arrangements-that official being enlightened
as much as the rest of US. Who says that the motto
of Benefits DUN was not propheticf Advance,

The CANDID WITNEss.-On Friday afternoon, much
amusement was created in the Supreme Court by a
very elderly Hawaiian gentleman, called in a native
ejectment suit. The old man in a former suit be-
tween the parties had been witness for the plaintiff,
and was again called in the present action by him,
but it would appear, that for some reason or other,
he had changed his colors, and when asked if he did
not state so-and-so in the former trial, quickly re-
piled, Yes, 1 was one of these witnesses on that
occasion, who lied for your CLIENT" Here a general
smoker, including the whole house ensued. amid
which the witness was Withdrawn, the learned Coun-
sci declining any further examination.

shin was once considered n useless hulk, but her
mission has been learned, and she is now EN-
ployed in laying ocean telegraphs,-a work for
which no other vessel ahoat is so well adapted.
In addition TO the proposed cable across the
Pacific, a new corporation has been formed in
London to lay submarine cables with all the lead
ing points on the west coast of South America.
Starting from Panama, this line will touch Peru
at Tumbez, where it will connect with the land
lines of the National Telegraph Company OF
Peru, and passing southwark to Chilli, will con-
meet with the telegraph lines of Chill, the Argen-
tine Confederation, Uruguay, and Brazil. From
Panama this line will communicate, across the
isthmus northward, with the lines of the West
Indies and Panama and the international Ocean
Telegraph Companies, through the West Indies,
to the United States and British America.

of the teachers desk. Reader, has father Time
sprinkled your head with snowfakcsr go and look in
al a school and take a look at rosy cheeks, bright
eyes and curly heads. Have care and disappoint-
ment soured your temper ? look upon the happy faces
of childhood. Has age and sickness made you halt
and feeble, watch the children when at play at inter-
mission time, and ask yourself, "Were you not once
like these ?' Dream back the plays you played, the
romps you romped, the lesson that would not stick,
the boy you pinched. How often has the wish
been uttered, "I wish 1 were a boy once more"
There is no brighter, no purer, no spot more hailoW-
ed in our lives, to which memory can bear US back
than childhood's happy time-the homestead and the
school. Happy the man who, from the toll and
cares, the greed and passions of the world, can ind
time in dreams of memory to live over again an hour
of childhood's joy. OCCASIONAL.
