of ]. S. Walker, Secretary.
WE are informed that Clint's fine view of Homo
lulu in 1871 has changed hands. This picture
should occupy a place in our historical archives,
giving, as it does, a very correct and pleasing
view of the Capital of the Kingdom.
THE winds have been swinging around the
circle " in a curious manner for the last few days.
The L. P. Foster left here Wednesday morning with
the trade winds to help her off, and when outside
encountered s~outherly winds. Look out for a
kona before long. -
+ CALM-The Moi Keiki was five days on the pas
sage from Kahului. Cannon says it requires a
great capacity of imagination 10 suppose a worse
Purgatory than to be {" cabin'd, cribb'd, confined"
during a calm on board a Hawaiian c-Oaster-roasted
on deck, and smothered below.
I'VE stepped into Fishers cabinet warerOoms
yesterday to look at a new sarcOphagus prepared
for the remains of Kamehameha III. The case is
made of the most elegant and lasting woods that
the islands produce, and the design is very hand
some and appropriate.
LEGAL NoTIcE.-In the matter of the Estate of W.
H. Pease, late of Honolulu, petition of J. w. Austin,
uullll dbO4 AA HA OAoNA ~ SA
the Island of Kauai, known as Haena ; hearing be-
fore the Supreme Court at Honolulu, on Monday,
March 4, at 10 a. NJ. -
LAssOING DoGs.-We notice that the police are
again to be seen provided with short ropes, with
which they lasso the suspicious looking dogs who
can't give a satisfactory account of themselves. One
advantage of this is that it gives the native police the
appearance (however illusory) of having something
to do. =
SMALL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES are complaining
that the bakers loaves have got wonderfully small of
late, and the bakers declare that -four is dearer than
usual, owing to regular supplies not having been
forwarded by the last steamer from San Francisco, and
the steamer didn't bring supplies because she was III
a hurry. =
ENCOURAGEMENT IN \ Coop CAUsE.-We under5
stand that two prominent gentlemen of this city
have signifed their sympathy and good will to the
Good Templars by presenting Ultima Thule Lodge
with the sum of 5000 and that another gentleman
made the same Lodge a present of two handsome
rugs for the floor of their Lodge Room.

Francisco paper, that Capt. Luder Hopken, the sole
survivor of the ill-fated brig SbeHehef, has not
been forgotten in his misfortune. and acknowledges
the receipt of S27I from sympathiZing friends. He
is randy recovering from the effects Of his long
fast. and may again kick the beam at 22O pounds
APPEALED AGAIN.-Mrs. Waahia, the woman who
has the reputation of being a sorceress, and who was
fined on Saturday last in the Police Court the sum Of
500 for p~racticing medicine without a license, hav-
ing appealed to Judge Kamakau, where the sentence
was confirmed, has now appealed to the Supreme
Court, to try her chances with a jury.
A CUNNING party of one started from town yes
terday morning, and this morning we received an
invitation to partake of a supper of broiled koLea-
most delicious of game-fat and juicy, with a
favor of Woodcock. They may be described as
:. concentrated bliss " on toast. FoI obvious rea-
sons we refrain from giving the names of any Of
the expectant participants Of the feast. .
FIsHERNAN's LUCK-Last Tuesday a large shoals
of the white fish known in Hawaiian as a~hoiehoie, :
came into the harbor and were sporting about very
carelessly near the fish market, when they we're sur
rounded and captured-a whole boatload. \ market
man bought the lot for $50, and in FIVE minutes sold
them again at an advance of.S1O. 1t is refreshing
to hear that some one has made ten dollars in these
dull times. -
CALLS FOR A CoNsULrATIoS.-Mr. J. y. Paikulis
the Representative elect for the district of Waialua,
Oahu, has a notice in the KuokoG Of to-day, calling
upon his constituents to meet him on the 2lst Of the
present month, and give their views as to the course
they wish him to pursue in the Legislative Assembly.
lie adds that he will then carefully weigh between
their demands and what the government policy may
be, and act according to his own judgment in the
matter. Nobody can say but that is fair and manly.
