y LECTVRE N PEosPECT-Nr. II. Holsiein, now
residing on Maui.-whom some OF our readers will
DOUBTLESS remember, "A few years back a. a trequent
writer for the press, and a good authority on mat
ters pertaining to agricultuTe-writes TO say that
he has in course of preparation a lecture on" Our
Situation. with reference TO labor and population,
progress and prosperity" From what We know or
the intelligence and ability Of Mr.. Holsteiu, We
doubt not but that be is capable Of producing upon
the topics mentioned, something well worthy OF at
tentiOn. -
MODERN BUCCASEERs-By = recent arrival from
Micronesia. it appears that the notorious Captain
H9yes Is lodging abaut somewhere IN those seas,
with a British mau-of-war, the B1ToSSG, close at his
heels IL fallen in with by John Bull. 1t Is aniici-
paled that he will be detained on q" strong suspi-
cion T" 70 answer for some OF his numerous misdeedS.
But il would be only a continuance of Hayes good
luck-or shrewd managemeut-if he got OF clear.
Pease, formerly a confederate with the nrst named
buccaneer, was some time ago arrested and taken
to the United States, for trial for some crime, but
luckily Tor him the only witnesses againsth him died,
and so he was discharged. He went back to his
old haunts, and is now at the BONN Islands
REPLEN1sHING THE EARrH-H our people at these
islands were only as fruitful as the parties men
toned in the following item, which We End going
the rounds of the American paPers-the problem
of population would be soon solved:
ION the 2Ist of August Mrs. Timothy Bradlee,
OF Trumbull county, Ohio. gave birth to eight chill
dren-Jhree girls and i've boys. They are sill lIv-
ing. and are healthy but quite small. Mr.. Bradlee
was married six years ago 10 Eunice Mowery. who
weighed 2T3 pounds on the day OF her marriage.
She has given birth to two pSir of twins, and now
eight more. making twelve children in six years.
Mrs. Bradlee was a triplet, her mother and father
being twins, aud her grandmother the mother of
Eve pairs of twins. "
\ FALSE ALARM.-Wednesday afternoon report
was brought TO the Marshal that a native at
Koolau. who bad been beaten by a Constable while
making his arrest last Friday. was dying OF his in
Juries. Deputy Marshal Dayton and DIR. Trosseau
Immediately proceeded over the Pail on horseback
TO ascertain particulars. to save the man : lie III
possible. or tn get his dying tatement, After a
brisk ride over an exceedingly muddy road, the
man was found in bed. wrapped up very warmly
in blankets and kapas, with nothing whatever the
matter with him beyond a cold and a slight fever.
1t appears that the man had been caught on last
Friday night, in J5dgrGHte deticfH with q woman
who was somebody else's wife, and running from
the constables got struck with a stick, but not Sc
riously hurt. His subsequently,, going to bed for a
cold, gave rise to the story of Z" another murder"
and a disagreeable ride for Mr.. Dayton and the
Doctor. -
The ELECrIoN-There was a considerable
amount of 40 gentle excitement !" on Tuesday, in and
about WhitEey's Bookstore. over the voting for
President. Two bright yellow placards adorned
one each side of the entrance, on which was in
scrlted respectively-" Regular Democratic Ticket
Greeley and Brown-Hurrah for the sage Of Chap
paqua!' and Regular Republican Ticket-Grant
and Wilson-vote for the Soldier candidate :" Of
course, it was evident enough from the start that
Grant would walk over the course but the occasion
gave rise to a good deal OF animated discussion OF
the respective merits of the two candidates., in
which ii was quite evident that our residents are
as well posted in the politics of the Great Republic
as the majority of those who dwell within its limits.
A few small bets were made. growing out of the
discussion, such as-the rather preposterous one of
twenty to five that Greeley is elected and a pair
of Benkert's boots that Greeley carries the State of
New York. But the Grant men were calmly conf
dent and quite ready to take all bets that were
offered. AT ~half-past four, the polls were closed,
and with becoming gravity the tellers proceeded
to count the ballots, and then announced the result,
