He DDS'T AND He DID.--The Oakland News
tells this true story of his Excellency:
"The German Committee invited Governor
Haight, together with other prominent public men,
to attend their peace celebration. He informed
them that it would be impossible for him to attend
in consequence Of 'other engagements When he
the magnitude and splendor Of the pageant, the
repentant Governor slipped out to the City Gardens
and showed himself among the crowd. He was
seen by Teutons, but was not recognized sufficient
ly to be invited upon the high place among the no
nored guests but supposing him to be dry, the Com
mittee took bis Excelleucy to the refreshment sa-
loon to get some lager beer. When desired to
make a speech there the Governor declined for the
very extraordinary that four others had spo
ken In the meanwhile Collector Phelps made
rousng speech and the enthusiastic German citizens
appeared like mad, the Governor hanging back like
poor boy at a constructing. We greatly fear
that Mr. Haight's cake is all dough, so far as the
larger and smaller German States are concerned"
A DERIVATION OF "GESTLEMAE.p-In the age
of valeutiniab the converts to Christianity in the
Western Empire consisted chiefly of the middle
classes in the towns. The agricultural population
still adhered to the traditions and suRrstitions
of their ancestors with such teuaciy, that the word
"Pagans," which literally signifies the inhabitants
of the rural districts, became generic name for all
classes OF idolators. In the higher ranks, the
Christians were chiefly found among the officers
of state and the ministers of the imperial court,
who were for the most part unconnected with the
patrician body, and owed their elevation either
to their military services or imperial favor. The
old patrician families, who affected to trace their
descent to the great aristocratic houses of the
ancient republic-the " Gentiles," they loved to
call themselves-adhered to polytheism, which
now alone afforded any external evidence of their
hereditary rank; and hence ''gentileman," came to
be used ndifferently for man of exalted birth or
polished manners, and for one who rejected the
truths of Christianity.

| THE PERTIs CIRcuMsTANTIAL EvIDESCE.-A
remarkable case, showing the danger of trusting i'm
picty to circumsantal evidence, has just been con-
cluded in Toledo Nearly three years ago, Robert
Sharp found dead, with shot and slugs in his
brain. named Harrington, who had been on
intimate terms with the deceased, arrested for the
murder. The testimony was wholly crcumstantial,
but so skifully worked up by the detectives, that
Harrington convicted and sent to the penitenti-
airy. His lawyers had become interested in the case,
and, although Harrington was poor man they de-
termined to fight his to the end. After long
and arduous struggle through the District and Su-
preme Courts, order for new trial was obtained
and that trial has just closed.
The main points in the evidence on which he was
convicted were the apparent correspondence of the
shot in the body of the dead man with that in the
shOtbag Of Harrington the correspondence of pieces
of newspaper found near the scene of the supposed
murder and assumed to be part of the gun-wadding,
with torn paper in Harringtons residence and
piece in his vest pocket and that the motive for the
murder be found in the alleged fact of Sharps
having come to Toledo with several hundred dollars
of money, which Harrington knew. and that no one
else was so intimate with Sharp On the second trial
it rendered doubtful whether there was similar
iy in the shot 1t clearly proven that the pieces
fpaper alleged to have been picked up at the scene
of the murder not there at the time of the find
ing of the body, for day or two afterward, and
the inference was unavoidable that they were put
there by the detectives to aid them in "workng up"
the case against Harrington. 1t was further proven
that Sharp destitute when he arrived in Toledo
and that Harrington was doing his best to aid him
in procuring employment. To crown all, an abb
was clearly and satisfactorily proven. Harrington
was declared innocent, and the jury voluntarily gave
him letter, signed by every member, repeating in
emphatic terms their belief of his entire innocence of
any knowledge the supposed murder and bearing
testimony to his uniform good character. The public
sentiment unanimously conceded with the verdict
The former employer of Harrington ediately took
him back into his service
1t causes an unpleasant shudder to reflect that a
perfectly innocent man. of good character, suffered
two years of degrading punishment and narrowly es-
capped an ignOminous death, for crime of which he
knew nothing. 1t is another warning Ofmplicit trust
in wholly crcumstantial evidence, and protest
against the detectives in " working up case against
one they choose to suspect C7ereIand Herald.

sKATSe RIxKs.-It was not long since that the
idea of skating except the in the winter of cold
climates would have been rdiculed; now, however,
skating Kinks is becoming very popular in localities
where ice is unknown. except where i is imported

Kinks are made with smooth board floors, where ap-
parenty much pleasure is taken by the exercise

or ponds. We do not see why thing of the kind in
proper locality here would not 60 to make up

The REGATTA.-The several boats owned by the
various members of the Honolulu Yacht Club will
have trial of their sailing qualities to-day at Il NJ.
Considerable enthusiasm prevails among the members
of the Club, as several new boats will be entered
of which claim to be very fast We believe that
a larger number of boats are entered for this race
than for any sailing match which has ever been had
here, and the public may expect to witness excit-
ing scene. We give below the names Of the boats,
together with the of the gentlemen to sail each

siderable difference in the size of the boats, it is
derstoOd that allowance of one minute to the foot

cock and Capt. J. NJ. Dat viii act as Judges. It
is difficult say which is the favorite or which will
be the winner. We hope the weather will be pro-
pitious and all will have a good time. The steam
yacht Sedan will follow the sailing yachts to provide
against accident There seems to be general desire
to heat the Henrieta as she is looked upon as for
egner, having been built East and only recently ar
rived. She is considered by her owners and those
who have sailed in her decidedly fast saer, and
we imagine that the other boats entered will have
lively time in beating her.

TIE KILAUEA. : This vessel was shove down"
last week, and it was found that the damage
sustained by her her recent misfortune at Mookai
was less than it was supposed to be- The only
serious repairs necessary to be made has been the
replacing of the keel, which is being done in very
substantial manner by Messrs. Foster & Co. In
consequence of the slight nature of the repairs
made the steamer will be in a condition TO resume
her trips much sooner than was anticipated when
she returned from Molokai.

marshes near the residence Of Capt. Luce, Waikiki.

particular not to shoot them, bat rather lend

doing their duty by preventing unlicensed marauders
from preying upon game which is protected by law

RATHER LATE.-The bark Eugene returned from
sperm whale cruise on Friday last and transhipped
her OIL amounting to about zoo barrels of sperm, to
the Syren. She sailed on Monday afternoon for the
Arctic, taking 4 number of letters and packages
for the feet north, it being generally supposed she
is the last of the spring feet. Such is the case
however, there three other vessels still expected
the Europa and Emily Morgan from a cruise, and the
AwashOnks from home. The whaling in the Arctic
during the past few years has been done late in the
season. consequently there is not the same necessity
for vessels arriving north as early as formerly.

small sized cook before the vessel returned.

The past week has appeared more lively than has
usually been the after the departure of the
steamers which has generally been the dulest part of
the month. During the whole of last week, the
presence of many persons upon the streets from
large vessel like the Jealous and the arrival Of an
other war vessel the latter part of the week, has
helped somewhat to change the general appearance
things for time but now that both vessels have left
may expect the usual routine of quietness until the
arrival of the next mail steamer.
