trained horses attached 10 this Circus la the even
ing the grand feature Of the whole entertainment

Is Of itself well worth going to see.
MOONLIGHT NIGurs.-The testimony Of everybody
who has travelled aud whom we have heard discourse
on the topic Of moonlight nights, is conclusive 70
the effect that Hawaii nei is peculiarly favored Of
Luna. The clearness and purity Of the atmosphere
which prevails ut these islands and the delicious
mlldness Of climate, combine 20 more than rival the
famed and poet-sung skies Of Italy, What IL more
delightful on one Of these Quiet, soul-inspiring nights
than n boat sail about the harbor. or a ramble or a
drive at Waikiki, or into the suburbs anywhere,
with pleasant company,-or, if you like, alone with
glorious naturel The queen Of night is at her full {:

The Historic NAMES AGAIN.-Last Monday the
captain of the .Ntlie Merrill discovered that he
had a stowawsy on board. secreted down below in
the recess behind the cabin stairs. Inquiry led to
the discovery Of the lovely Desdemona, wife Of
Othello, alias Luis Gonzales, who was thus intending
to fly TO Maui and put the Oahu channel between
herself and her lego lord The rnpfain of the MI
fie, instead of rejoicing in the opportunity to succor
a damsel in distress, most ungallantly proceeded 10
inform the police, and Desdemona was cruelty drag
ged from her hiding place, and restored to the Gus
tody of the jealous Moor. 1t appears on investiga-
ton that the un-Christian Lopez, who serpent-like,
first brought dissension into the matrimonial garden
Of Gonzales, aud all his woes. is at present sojourn-
ing at Maui, and it was for the purpose Of joining
this illegal lover that the frail If not fair spouse Of
the knight of the sorrowful countenance slowed her
self away in the run of the .NSftie. Truly the
course of colored love don't run smooth in this in
stance. -
