PoKrENr OF HIS MAJEsrY-Severa of the Amer
lean illustrated papers have recently given what
has purported 70 De a likeness Of King L.unalilo.

Of James Olis against Thos. Long. Anne Long and
: Ale1. Mcguire, were tried by jury, and veriicts rem
dered for plaintiff. with nominal damages. Before q
native jury, Kino Kamai was tried and acquitted on

CAST Up DY THE SEA-Last Monday, at Hsuuls,
Koolauloa, on this island, there was found on the
beach, left by the tide-a poi bucket, two pair
wooden pants, one pair denim do, a woman's dress
and a ehemise In the pockets of one of the pants,
was a bundle of fsh-hooks, and q native pipe and
tobacco. During the prevalence Of stormy trade
winds. such as We have experienced for some time
back, there is generally a powerful current setting to
windward among the islands. 1t is therefore supposed
that these articles, stranded on the windward side of
this island, came from the boat that was capsized in
the MolOkai channel a week before.
All SAFE-The schooner LuJtd, Captain Ballas-
tier, which sailed hence for Starbuck Island, Nov.
9th. and for the safety of which fears have been
entertained. is reported by the brig William II.
allen all right at TAHITI. \ letter from Capt. Bal
lastier to the owner of the schooner, J. |. Dowsett,
Esq gives a full report of his cruise. 1t seems
that after going to StaTbuck Island, he made three
trips, carrying stores, men, &c, to Caroline Island,
a new guano deposit to be worked by the company
owning the former island. Mr.. Thrum remains in
charge of this new station. with Gfty laborers. The
vessel then went to Tahiti, which port she left
March 25th, for Huahine and Caroline Island,
where the Captain has to lay a buoy, and then
proceeds on to this port. Caroline Island lies due
north of Tahiti, five days sail, in about lat. 10 s,
and W. long. $50. The schooner onght to arrive
here about the end Of this month.-GdzeH
The MORNING STAR.-This missionary packet,
which has been laid up ia our harbor for some months
past, will, we learn, be dispatched about the 10th of
May. on a voyage to the Islands of Micronesia, to be
absent probably nine or ten months. On her last
voyage to Micronesia, she was only absent l37 days,
and did not go so far to the westward as had been
desired by the missionaries, who were anxious to
extend their operations among the groups in that di-
~rection.l During the past year, those groups have
been visited by slave vessels from the Fijis. Rev. Mr..
Sturges, at Ponape, under date of May ID, 1872,
writes as follows "Two slavers have called here.
One came in fpr supplies, the steward left, and gives
shocking reports Of stealing and shooting all along
in Eastern Micronesia. They have gone west. 1t is
fearful to think of the hate and revenge in store, and
likely to be visited on the Morning Star viii not
something be done to put a stop to the movements of
such desolating craft ?'' 1t is to be hoped that
British cruisers have e~fectually put a stop to them
this. -
\ DoCTOR DO5ED.-Last Wednesday, an old ma
tive named Hiona, was arraigned in the Police
Court on a charged of practicing medicine without
a license. Perhaps a more appropriate charge
would have been one of manslaughter. 1t ap-
peared by the evidence that an otherwise healthy
native man was taken sick with o pain in the breast
most likely inflammation of the lungs-when
liiOna happening along, declared himself a doctor,
ana offered To cure the man. his terms were $40
81 down, and the balance when the cure was
complete. The terms were accepted, and the doc
tor went to work. His FIRST prescription was a mix
of rum and ava, applied externally, rubbing
the patient from head to foot, and doses of the same
administered internally. This was continued from
night till Wednesday morning, when the
mans e%xtremities and face began to swell
badly. Wild ginger root and sugar cane, pounded
together, and moistened with urine, was then used as
IN embrocation. The swelling increased. and sup
Duration of the legs ensued. Meantime the doctor
various mummeries with 4 switch made
IF a Ii leaf. which was to draw out and thrash away
he disease. On Thursday morning, very naturally,
he man died, and after he was buried his relatives
came TO the conclusion that the doctor had killed
i'm, and complained to Deputy Marshal Dayton.
The Magistrate imposed the full extent of fine
slOO-eguivalent to 400 days Imprisonment, and re-
yretted that it was not in his power to send the doc
or to prison for the remainder of his life. Isitnot
strange that there are yet among the people, some
will allow themselves to be duped by these
horrible native quacks?
