Since the departure of the Ajax on the 5th inst,
we have to report the following arrivals Ships Beau
Meade and Sapphire, bound to the GuAnO Islands,
bark vesta for HOngkOng. and bark'tine Grace Rob
,erts.
The latter vessel is from Puget Sound with cargo
of Nor lumber to Walker Allen, and viii load
in the Hawaiian Packet Line for San Francisco.
The Hawaiian bark Queen Emma from San Fran
cisco and Jane Falkinburg from Portland, are fully
due
The Hawaiian brig 6amehameha is under char
ter to take cattle to Tahiti and will sail in few days.
The harbor is at present rather bare of foreign ship
ping, the Grace Roberts and Morning Star being the
only foreign vessels in the harbor.
We have but little to note in the way Of trade and
to give quotations Of sales Of goods would be more
imaginary than real With the few wants of the
country and plantations just this
cannot expect to do much, while the prospects in
gard to shipping are becoming less every day. The
guano aud coal vessels about all the shipping that
we may expect will require much in the way Of sup
plies for some time. The steamers generally come
well supplied 10 outfits both from San Frapciseo New
Zealand and Sydney.
The Wonga wongo, according to the timetable
leaves San Francisco to-day and will be due here
the 10th inst.
The City Of Adelaide from Sydney via Fiji will be
due on the 2lst.

ATTEMPT TO COMMIT SUICIDE.-A Swede named
Smidt, who has been employed here for several
years painter, attempted to commit suicide on
Monday by taking arsenic. 1t seems that on Friday,
while INDUCING 10 spree with convivia friend,
misunderstanding arose which resulted in fight,
in which Smidt, being the aggressor, inflicted serious
injuries upon his friend. He was arrested and
brought before the Police Magistrate on Saturday,
when the investigation was postponed until Mon
day morning. On Monday the case was tried and
Smidt remanded TO prison for sentence on Tuesday.
The turnkey after locking the cell in which he was
confined in looking at him through the grating, saw
him open paper containing small white powder,
which he emptied into cup of water or tea which
he had in his cell, and drank it. Being suspicious
that the man had taken poison, the turnkey at
once reported the circumstance to Mr.. McDuff in
the station house, who Immediately went to the cell
where Smidt confined. Having been told by
the prisoner that he had taken arsenic, Mr. McDuff
Immediately sent for the assistance of Dr. Hoffman,
Smidt refused TO take the antidotes prescribed and
was necessary to force to compel him to do So
which having the desired effect, Mr. Smdts attempt
to get rid of himself simply resulted in causing him
several hours of intense pain and probably of thor
oughly SOLDERING him.

CHANGING THE sUBJEcT.-A good joke is told OF
little four earold fellow who, having disobeyed
bis father, was about to undergo the penalty
switching. The father deliberately prepared rod,
while his son stood sad and silent spectator. As
the parent approached to the unpleasant duty, the
boy started at brisk towards q neighboring
hill The father pursued, and for time the young
ster increased the distance between Them but grad
uay his strength began to fail aud when he reached
the hill and began to ascend be soon lost his vantage
ground. Nearer aud nearer the irate father ap-
preached and just the top of the hill was reached
and he came within arms length of the little fugi-
tive who was ready TO fall from exhaustion, the bow
quickly faced about, dropped to the ground, and
with an Understandable cast of countenance exclaim-
ed: Papa, that-makes sellow-blow-don'ti it "
This Changing the subject" was so extremely lu-
dierous that the father laughed heartily over the
strategy which his hopeful son exhibited. and the
rod was not used.

which is longer than her usual trips and was occa-

passage up of thirty-eight days The principle item
Of news received by her is the loss of the English
clipper ship Napier, which went ashore at Bakers
island on the morning of April 24th particulars OF
which will be found among our sbip-news. We I'm.
derstand that she was insured. 1t is probable that
the value of vessel and cargo (she had nearly com
peted loading) will not fall short Of 100000 The
crew, together with what articles were saved from
the wreck, arrived in the Ward. She also brought
up number of laborers whose engagements had ex-
pred, among whom several deaths occurred on the
passage. The Ward returns to the islands on Fri
day with laborers and supplies. The ship George
Green which was at Phoenix Island when the Ward
left was the last vessel to load there as everything
was to be removed to Enderbury's on the return OF
the schooner. The ship Leibig which went ashore
at Bakers Island in Nov last, burned up to get
her out of the way there was no prospect of her
going to pieces

happy to notice the arrival of Rev. W. Lobscheid,
who is en- route for Hongkong, his former place
of residence. His career in China, where he has
resided for twenty-three years in connection with
the Eastern embassies, with the emigration of the
the Chinese, and an author has obtained for him
an extensive and enviable reputation. His last

Chinese Dictionary was issued by the Hongkong
press, work of 2O65 pages, a copy of which, for
warded here, is in our Government Library. DR..

FROM WNDwARD.-The return of the steamer
from windward does not furnish much excitement
Of late to those who in the habit of meeting
when she arrives at her wharf, anxious to learn what
news she brings and who arrives. Her arrival on
Saturday last afforded but little news worthy OF
mention from any part Of her route. Lahana has
recovered from the recent scare which caused a
short-yed sensation in that usually quiet town, and
has relapsed into its former dullness The Kilauea
had large freight, although her passenger list was
not so large usual, there being only few cabin
passengers and forty-eight on deck.

A STATEMENT is going the rounds of the Califor-
mia papers TO the effect that the imports into this
Kingdom in 1870 exceeded the exports by consid-
erabie amount. By reference to the Custom House
statistics it will be that the fact is quite the
verse of this statement, the exports having exceed
ed the imports by nearly half million dollars.

4th inst from San Francisco, bound to the Fiji and
Navigator Islands, and continued on her voyage on
the 9th 1t is supposed that her voyage is partly
connected with the loss of the brig Kentucky, which
was reported in the vicinity of those islands short
time since. She had on board quantity of building
materials and varied cargo valued at $500, and
several passengers for Samoa. 1t is probable from
what We can learn, that is the intention to estab
lish settlement there for trading purposes.

DREAMS AND REALITIES.

o Rosamond thou fair and good,
And perfect flower Of womanhOod,
Thou royal rose of June,
Why didst thou droop before thy time
Why withGr in the first sweet prime?
Why didst thou die SO soon?
For, looking backward through my tc.rs
On thee, aud on my wasted years,
cannot choose but say,
If thou hadst lived to be my guide,
Or thou hadst lived and | had died,
'TwCrc better far to-day.
0 child Of light, Q golden head
Bright sunbeam for one moment shed
Upon life's lonely way
Why didst thou vanish from our sight?
C11ld they not spare my little light
From Heavens unclOuded day?
0 friend so true, 0 friend so good
Thou one dream Of my maidOnhood,
That gave youth all its charms
What had | done, or what hadst thou,
That through this lonesome world till now,
We walk with empty arms?
And yet, had this poor soul been fed
With oil it loved coveted
Had life been always fair
Would these dear dreams that nc'cr depar' !,
That thrill with bliss M inmOst heart,
Forever remble there?
II still they kept their earthly place,
The friends held in my embrace,
And gave to death, alas
Could have learned that clear, calm faith
That looks beyond the bonds Of death,
Aud almost longs to pass?
Sometimes, think, the things wO see
Are shadows oI the things to be;
That what We plan we build;
That every hope that hath been crossed,
And every dream We thought was lost,
In heaven shall be fulfilled, a.
That even the children of the 5rai-
Have not been born and died in vain,
Though here unclOthGd and dumb;
But on some brighter, better shore
They live, embodied QyeTmOro,
And wait for us to HoH,c.
And when on that last day We rise,
Caught up between the earth and skies,
Then shall We hear our Lord
Say, Thou hast dono with doubt and death
llcncelorth, according TO thy faith,
Shall b3 thy faiths reward.
-MuJc Cary.
