TIKI SUMNER DRoUGHr.-From Kauai we learn that
the drought which prevails over the windward por-
ton of the group has extended also TO that island,
so much so that the people in some localities were
compelled to go long distances for water for drink
ing purposes. From the same authority we are in
formed that the crop OF cane now coming Of NJ
LIhue Plantation Is turning ont very heavy-rat-
toons yielding three tons to the acre and first crops
/, proporlonally more.
THE CRUSADE IN SAN FRANCIsco.-The modern
crusade is in San Francisco. and it is directed
against the Chinese immigration. The Chronicls,
always sensational, leads in the movement, in which
however a great many respectable people are en-
gagged. 4 Peoples Protective Alliance 4" has been
organized, in opposition to Chinese employment and
immigration. The .4lfa counsels its readers that the
Chinese have a right under treaty stipulations, TO 90
to America, and deprecates the crusade. Among
other arguments against the Chinese, the Chroatcis
says the leprosy was brought TO these islands by
them, and warns California that il is in danger of
getting the disease in the same way.
Col STEINBERGER.-This gentleman, who was re-
Gently much talked of as a Commissioner of the
American Government to these islands and else
where, appears TO have q lawsuit on his hands.
Says the S. F. Examiner of May 22d:
"For some time past, Colonel a. B. Steinberger
has been n source of considerable worry to not only
the reporters of the daily press but also TO some of
that he was either secret service agent or something
else, and his business on the Coast was not clearly
defined. A suit, which is decidedly singular in more
than one particular, was commenced against the
Colonel yesterday, by VIM. NJ. Lent, to recover
81, 800 claimed to be due on n ~promissory note, and
SI20 for money alleged to have been paid for the de-
PENDANT in the purchase of certain shares of stock of
the Napoleon Copper Mining Company. Yesterday
morning Colonel Steinberger filed an affidavit setting
forth that he never had any business relations with
Lent -
THE DEvOYsHIRE.-In a late y. y. Herald, in an
obituary notice of the late Captain Hovey, an old
packet shipmaster, we find some "reminiscences of
the old ship Deronshire, condemned here some time
since, and now nearly broken up. Captain Hovey
at one time commanded this ship. Says the Herald:
I'm the winter of 1850. while in the DeUonsiire,
he met in mid ocean the Hamburg steamship Helena
Sioman, in a sinking condition, with 175 souls on
board. Other vessels had been sighted by the unfor-
tunate steamer and recognized her condition, but the
wildness OF the storm had seemed to preclude COM
After most labOrious and perilous efforts
Captain Hovey succeeded in saving the entire crew
passengers, but with the loss of one of his own
boats crews, which had swamped while passing on
its errand of mercy. For this humane act Captain
Hoyey received the unbounded plaudits of all classes
of citizens and the press throughout the country.
The cities of New York and Hamburg had medals
struck commemorative of the event, and presented
other suitable testimonials in honor of the intrepid
captain and crew. In the contemporary issues of
the New York journals frequent mention may be
found concerning the remarkable passages of the
Dp5toD shire Several trina pnoda IN tho Dr,pobor

time for sailing vessels on record"
HALEAKALA BOYS ScHooL-The examination of
the above institution, lat Makawao, Maui) came of
on the 18th inst. and was a success. The church
building where the exercises were held, was deco
rated very neatly, and at a few minutes after Q
was well filled with friends and relations of
the scholars. The exercises were opened with an
by the scholars, all of whom-some thirty
three or four-were ranged upon the platform, and
a very neat appearance. They were ex-
lmined by the Principal, Mr.. F. L. Clarke, Mrs.
the Matron-who has charge of some of
The classes,-and by Mr.. H. r. Hitchcock, the In
spector General of Schools. The classes in reading ,
spelling showed 4 decided Improvement, and the
classes in mathematics did very well. The exercises
we're interspersed with singing under the leadership /
Of q native singing master, and there was quite q /
display of good voices. The "arm exercise or /
were gone through with very well, and
The afternoon was devoted to speeches and dialogues, 4
which were loudly applauded. Not the least inter-
ssting part of the exercises consisted of a short drill
N marching, which took place upon the green in
ront of the church. The boys with their drums
marched and counter-marched, and went through a
number of military movements with great success.

better examination of this school since it was
pened. We are informed that applications have
received from q number who wish to send their
to the school, and we think they do wisely who
