Snort In the sandwich ISLANDS.

Hilo is one Of the very few places on
these islands where you can see truly
royal sport-the surf board. It re-
quires rough day and o heavy surf,
but with good day it is one Of the
finest sights in the world.
Tho surf board is n tough plank about
two feet wide and from SIX TO twenty
feet long, usually made OF the bread.
fruit trees. Armed with these, party
of tall, muscular natives swim out to
the first line Of breakers, and, watching
their chance to duck under this, make
their way finally, by the help Of their
undertow, into the smooth water far of
beyond all the surf. Herethey bob up
and down on the swell like SO many
ducks, watching their opportunity.
What they seek is very high swell,
before which they place themselves, ~
ing or kneeling on the surf'board. The
great wave dashes onward, but rs its
bottom strikes tho ground, the top, un'
retarded in its speed and force, breaks
into huge somber, and directly before
this the uri.boarl swimmerispropelled
with speed which we timed and found
to exceed forty miles per hour. In
fact, he goes like lightning, always Just
ahead Of the breaker, and apparently
down hill, propelled by the vehement
impulse OF the rearing wave behind
him, yet seeming to have q speed and
motion Of his own.
It is a very surprising sight to see
three or four mon thus dashed for near.
" q mile toward the shore at the speed
Of IN express train, every moment about
to be overwhelmed by roaring breaker
whose white crest was reared
high above and Just behind them,
but always escaping his ingnlf'
ment and propelled before It. They
look, kneeling or lying on their long
surf.boats, more like some curious and
swift.swimming dsh-likO dolphins
racing, MS 1t seemed to us-than like
men. Once in while, by some mis-.
chance, the cause OF which we could
not understand, the swimmer was over
whelmed; the great comber overlook
him; he was flung over and over like
piece Of wreck, but instantly Owed, and
reappeared beyond the outside Of the
wave, ready to take advantage Of the
next. As uccessful shot launched them
quite high and dry on the beach far be-
yond where We stood to watch. Occa'
sioually man would stand erect upon
his surf.board, balancing himself in tho
boiling water without any apparent
difficulty.

told that few Of the younger genera
tions are capable Of it, aud that it is

swimmers, and to be not without dam

does not go on sitting at Laura's feet

there are bakers and butchers and
babies and tax collectors and doctors
and undertakers, and sometimes gen.

Welded life is not one long amatory
poem, with recurrent rhymes. Of love
and dove, and kiss and bliss. Yet when
the average sentimental novelist has
supplied his hero and heroine with
their bridal outfit and attended TO that
little matter OF the marriage certificate,
he usually turns of the gas, pnts up
his shutters, and saunters of with his
hands in his pockets, as Il the days

are honest dealers in real life and dis

A Te.t case.

A. 7. Stewart, Of New York, recently
sued Christopher Martin to recover
Sl54.66 OF the defendant for q bill Of
dry goods sold TO his wife on the 23d oil
last May. Mrs. Mary A. Martin test
fed that she was the wife OF the defen,
dAnt, and resided OF No. 1853 Jersey
avenue, Jersey City; that on the 10th
Of last April her husband abandoned
her, giving her at the time $40, and that
he gave her no more money until the
Court decreed her Sls week during
tho tendency OF the suit for divorce
that she received this amount from the
Goth Of May up to the 26th Of August,
since which time she has received moth.
ing from him that her husband owned
q house in Jersey City worth 81, 900, one
in Harlem worth IS, 900, q Central Park
lot, and'thirteen lots in Brooklyn, be-
sides a stand in Washington Market.
The articles which she purchased from
the plaintiff, she said, were necessary
for herself and her child.
The defence was that the articles
WeIo uut uuEgbbhlyy 10 tlle bSAAu nSSSn-
sary" is understood in law, for the use
OF the defendants wife, 1t being proved
that they lived separately, and that in
a case where goods were sold to the
wife without the knowledge or consent
Of the husband, he is not liable to pay
for them.
The Court instructed the jury that q
husband is liable for necessary articles
furnished to his family II he does not
supply them himself with the necessar'
les Of life, and in this case it was purely
n question OF fact for the jury to deter.
mine whether the goods were necessary
for the wife and child at that time; and
il they found that they were, the plain.
tiff was entitled to recover such amount
as the jury saw ct to give him, with in.
terest from the time the goods were
sold.
The Jury returned a verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount claimed.
