A Mo.ser of Twen,y-NIne ChiIdren.

Mr.. "ADyERTIsER "a correspondent OF
yours, in your last weeks issue, referred to
the large families among the native Mexican or
Spanish Californians of a former generation.
Recently l met a person from San Francisco, con
nected with an old family Of California. and she
stated the following facts in my hearing She
was well knowing to the fact that there were
now living in California three native females of
the class referred to by your correspondent. Ono
of the females was the mother of twenty-five
children, another the mother OF twenty-three
children, and the third was the mother Of twenty
nine children. The latter, at the age Of about
fifty, remarked that she had given up all hope of
becoming the mother of the . thirticth." She
was heard to say that she thought it a virtue TO
have children, and on that account she felt en-
titled to the highest seat in Heaven. At any
rate, she should ask st. Peter for it,! s.uno)

Merrill, which arrived on Sunday, that Kaanaana,
the native who was indicted for arson, in setting fire
to Hobron's plantation, was convicted. and sentenced
to nine years Imprisonment at hard labor. A num-
Der of other criminal cases were discontinued. One

BURGLARLY OF A PUBLIC HousE.-Last Saturday
night, some one broke into the Empire House, and
got away with a lot of liquors, some ten gallons. The
larceny of spirits in small quantity is often heard of,
but ten gallons is unusual. The party is probably
preparing to have u good time during the coming
holidays. -

which We have been allowed to peruse, we learn that
on the 10th inst, the body of a young native man.
named Waipalani, was found hanging to a tree on

doubtedly a suicide. but no cause is assigned for the

ANOTHER RoBBERY.-On Monday night, or some
time early Tuesday morning, a lodging room on Rose
Lane. occupied by a discharged seaman, who had
lately provided himself with a S25 outfit of clothing,
was entered by some thief, and all the young mans
wearing attire was distracted. Look out, all who,
according to Honolulu custom. sleep with doors and
windows open-thieyes are about.
RECKLESS DRIVING Attention of the authorities
should be directed to the reckless manner in which
some of the natives drive their ox-carts through the
streets at break-neck pace. They sway from one
side to the other, the driver sitting on the cart, and,
unable to direct them, as would be the case with a
pair of horses, is urging them on with cries and
lashing. 1t is q wonder that accidents do not hap
pen, seeing that one does not know exactly on which
side of the narrow street to dodge the horned cattle.

Weddings.

There are all sorts OF weddings and
marriages it would take many pages to
register them from the marriage of true
minds to that of a couple of money bags.

are two masked figures, tricked up

He chose her out and paid for her. What
Il sweet face it is What high bred calm !.
And then, again, come the happy lovers
two and two as they pass before the
high affairs. the long white wells OF the
brides sweep along the gray aisles of the
churches; their happiness lightens up
the faces looking ON. Then, perhaps,
some blooming young girl comes up,
bringing crutch and a bronchial Wheeze,
and it now and then happens that a
youth appears, leading a wig of false
plates, set of artificial teeth. and half Il
century of bones to the altar The dis

How Napoleon Went 10 Field.

European papers state that the baggage
of the French Emperor, which preceded
him to the seat of war, looked more like
travelling hospital than like the traps
of general. 1t contained among others
a large medicine chest. three kinds of
bathing apparatus, an invalid's easy
chair. a stretcher OF peculiar construction,
and great deal of other medical and sick
room apparatus The horses OF the En-
peror which were sent to the front ware
most carefully selected from the Imperial
stables by the Emperor's valet. He picked
out the tamest and gentlest brutes he
could find, and even went so f. as to buy
some horses. not SO much for their beauty
and spirit for they show very little OF
either, as for their meek and gentle
demeanor Before they were sent to the
front they were exposed to Il great deal of
artillery firing to accustom them to the
roar of cannon, the only thing their rider
will probably hear Of the battle, and this
took the large vestige they possessed away
from them. The valet was also most par
ticular in examining the saddles destined
for the use of His Majesty, had all double
