SIR Il have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt, on the 18th inst, of your despatch No. so. of
the 10th inst, containing a transcript of the des-
patch of the Hon. Hamilton Fish, Secretary of
State, to Your EXcellency, dated at Washington.
9th December. 1872, informing Your Excellency of
the very generous and complimentary arrange
ments made by the United States Government for
conveying His late Majesty Kamehameha V. and
suite from this port to and across the continent of
America, on his way to Europe, a journey that His
Majesty had contemplated in search of health to
which you add that Rear Admiral Pennock. with

suitable preparations for the objects indicated in
the foregoing. was on the eve OF her departure

received and also stating that you are instructed
by telegram from the Hon. Secretary of State. of
date December 25th, to tender the coincidence of
the President of the United States on the late event
of the decease of King Kamehameha Fifth.
Had it been given to His late Majesty to choose
the mode of conveyance for the voyage and journey
that he looked forward to with so much hope and
interest, and the persons to have charge Of the
same by sea and land, he could hardly have planned
anything better adapted to secure safety, comfort,
respect and enjoyment, than was so kindly provided
by your Government. in anticipation of his wishes.
This delicate act of courtesy on the part of the
authorities at Washington, is only in keeping with
the kindness and friendship that has invariably
characterized the action of the Government and
people of the United States towards those of Ha-
wall. and will be regarded by His Majesty's Gov
eminent and people as a new pledge OF q continu-
ance OF those good relations that have not been,
and should not be, interrupted.
1t has given me great pleasure. Mr.. Minister, to
lay your despatch before His Majesty King LUNA
LILO and | am by him commanded to assure you
that he fully appreciates the compliment paid to
the Hawaiian nation IN the generous provision
made by your Government for the convenience and
qualification of his late lamented cousin and pre-
decessor. and that be has perfect confidence in the
good will and sense of justice of the Government
and people that Iour Excellency so wOrthily rep
reseuts at his Court.
His Majesty further instTucts me to request you,
Mr.. Minister, to communicate to His EXcellency
the President of the United States, his thanks for
his expression of sympathy in the sorrow that rests
upon himself and his people, because of the death
OF His late Majesty.

to you. Sir, the high respect with which l have the

THE ELECTION To-DAY.-The polls will be open at
the Court House to-day, from 8 A. NJ. till 5 p. NJ,
for the election by the qualified voters of a Repre-
sentative for this District, in the place of Mr.. Judd,
who has been appointed Attorney General. As there
is no probability and only a remote possibility that
the member to be elected will have an opportunity
to sit before the election for 1874, there is but little
interest manifested among the people, so far as we
can learn. We hear, however, of several candidates
reported as intending 20 run, among whom are, the
Rev. J. P. Green, and Messrs. KeaWehunahala, Ks-
kina and Robert Charlton.

What a Dog Nose.

We know of no more singular case
of canine sagicity, says the Hartford
Times, than one which was related to
us a day or two since. The gentlemen
who owned the dog lived, at the time
the occurrence happened, in Southing
ton. 1t was good while ago. His
dog, fox-hound, was bitten in the
nose by red adder. This is snake
whose venomous quality is only infer
ior to that of the rattlesnake. 1t will
always kill man.
The dog, though bitten, continued
to assail the snake, and succeeded in
killing him. To the surprise Of his
owner, who had witnessed the combat,
the dog then turned and fled at his
best speed for home, the home being
two miles distant The people at
the house saw HIM come rushlng up
the road and plunge into the open
cellar-way.
There they found him energetically
paving up the moist earth of the eel
lar bottom, and into the hole thus made
he stuck his nose, and then, holding it
there, he paved more dirt around his
head, so as to bury his face and head
out of sight.
They could not call or coax him
away, and there he stayed-so far as
the family were observers of him
for two days, with his head and face
buried in the moist ground in the eel
lar Then he come forth, all well.
How did that dog know that singu-
lar treatment would save him?

A CHEAP RIDE.-About the best
story told lately is ola wealthy New
York German and Hartford livery
stable keeper who was 10th to let his
best rig to stranger. The German
was bound to have his ride, and agreed
to buy his horse and sleigh, and when
he returned the stable keepe" might
refund the money. This was done,
and the team returned and money re-
funded, when the German started to
90. "Hold on," said the man of
horses, "you have not paid your horse
hire !" Why, my dear sir said the
New Yorker cody, Il have been
driving my own team this morning!
