The NUHoU.-This trim little clipper of o journal,
after having been laid up " in ordinary " for several
months has again started out on q cruise. This time,
however, the craft is close-hauled in the winds eye,
on a directly opposite tack from the last, there hav-
ing been a change of the monsoon. She plunges
wickedly in a headbeat sea, and appears to be con-
siderabiy out of trim, having a decided list.
FROM MAUI-Our correspondent at Makawao.
under date of the 10th inst, says: eve are having
very satisfactory weather nowadays, with more or
less frequent showers. Last night there was quite a
soaking rain, that rejoiced the hearts of the planters.
Feed for the cattle is springing up again, and pools
and streams are filling up. Plenty of water in the
streams of Wailuku, Waikapu and Waihee.'' From
Wailuku we are pleased to learn that the accident
which befel DR.. F. W. Hutchinson last week, is not so
serious in its results as had been reported. Though
severely bruised, the Doctor is not seriously injured,
and it is expected will be around in a few weeks.
THE U. S. S. PoRTsMoUTH.-The schooner Fanny,
from San Francisco, reports having spoken the
Portsmouth, surveying ship, to the northeast of this
island, employed ON her duties. She will touch at
Kawaihae for supplies towards the latter part of this
month, and call off this port for her mail, proceeding
again on her surveying duty.
The Fanny sailed on Thursday for Maui and
Hawaii, en- route for the Navigator Islands. Colonel
Steinberger, who is passenger on the Fdnny, pro-
ceeds to the Navigator's Islands on a mission from
the United States Government, and on his way makes
u call on Captain Makee at Maui. His Excellency
the United States Minister Resident took passage for
Hawaii on the Fanny, %purpOsing to return by the
Portsmouth,. -
AN IMPRovENENT.-In these dull times it is graft
flying to see that some one has the enterprise and
spirit to put up substantial improvements on their
property. Mr.. Jas. Robinson has commenced putting
extensive additions to each side of the Old stone
warehouse at g the point which, with the wooden
fgure-head on the makai end has been for so many
years a prominent landmark. The old building was
erected in about 1910, and was long the most
commodious and best building of the kind in the
town. In the large hall upstairs, in 1843, Lord
George Paulet one day christened something over
forty children of English residents. There also was
held q ball to commemorate the rescue of a company
shipwrecked on Christmas Island, in 1847. The old
building is to be enlarged some thirty feet on each
side and sixty feet in length, the walls to be run up
the height of the old building, and the whole to be
made ~hre-proof. -
HAWAIIAN D1CK TURPIN.-There is in the Oahu
~ - IN - /
Hawaiian prisoner, not more than seventeen years
of age, who has fairly earned the above title. In
his native district OF Hamakua where he early
gained a reputation for kleptomania, he first won
fame and attracted public attention by stealing a
horse. For this offense he was arrested and sent
to Honolulu to be held for trial. Here he informed
the Deputy Marshal that the money obtained by
the sale of the stolen horse was in a house in
Pauoa valley, so he was sent there to get it in
company with a policeman. On the road, he
d" broke" for the bush, but was caught after a
sharp chase. For this attempt to escape he got
three months. Sent to Hawaii, he was tried and
convicted of stealing the horse. AT kawaihae on
his way to Honolulu TO be imprisoned two years,
he slipped from the guard in broad daylight, and
ran like a deer for the mountain. Before he could
be followed he had mounted a horse tied out on |
the hillside and galloped off and disappeared up
the gulch. 1t was sometime before he was caught
and brought to Honolulu, when he got a further /
time for escaping. His next exploit was while he I
was employed with other prisoners in digging in a
garden in the valley, when he e" cleaned ont all
the clothing from one gentleman's house aud
secreted it in the clubhouse OF another. Convicted
of this, a further term of Imprisonment was re-
corded against him, and a ball and chain was put
on his leg. This not having been very carefully done,
one day last month be took a convenient oppor-
tunity to slip it of, and disappeared for two weeks,
until he was again arrested. During that time he
lived in an unoccupied house on the valley road,
and occupied his nights in visiting the kitchens of

in various larders would be interesting and anus
ing. On one occasion he made a clean sweep OF
the Police Magistrates cupboard, (f all others)
and got a good haul of cold meats, not forgetting
to take the mustard and pepper. At a Cabinet
Minister'S, however, he had very poor success,
there being scarcely anything edible. But he
