ANOTHER horrible railroad accident (!
Our dispatches yesterday morning told the
sad story. Railroad employees disregard
schedules, run in their own way, regard
less Of orders. Souls are launched into
eternity in the most horrid manner. Men
are scalded 10 death, maugled and torn.
\ CHASTITY sacrifice is offered to the spirit
of improvement peculiar to this fast age.
Stringent laws are demanded, for the
severest penalties known, for the punish
ment of public carriers who have so little
regard for human life.

Steamship Costa RIGA

The public was ogreeably surprised by the arrival
from San Francisco on Sunday morning last Of tho
above vessel, belonging to the Pacific Mail Company,
and under the command Of Capt. w. F. Lapidge.
formerly known to our community as Master Of the
Montana, and q favoritc with the travelling public
The Costa RIGA came down in nine and a half days,
during four Of which she encountered a strong adj
verse gale. She showed herself an excellent seaboat.
and experienced passengers speak highly of her
stea1iness in a sea-way. Since her arrival she has
been visited by many of our residents, and the gen.
eral opinion is expressed that she is just the vessel
for this route. She is built of iron in tho most
thorough manner, having been launched at Will
mington, Del, in 1868, and has all the modern appli-
ances for safety and comfort Of passengers. She
measures 1857 tons. and has o carrying capacity of
1900 tons cargo, and accommodations for ninety
cabin passengers. She is a propeller, Of a beautiful
model, is brig-rigged, and steams ten knots on hour,
on an average. 1t is to be hoped that the Pacific
Mail Company. the owners Of this fine boat, will
continue her on the route, for there can be no cues
ton but that the traffic and travel will prove remu-
nerative, provided that che is run with regularity.

IT Is reported that there are instances of per-
Sons known to be lepers on The other islands, who
have recently anticipated the action of the author
tiles in their cases, by coming to Honolulu of their
own motion and putting themselves under medi-
cal treatment here, thus evading the law which
requires their apprehension and examination, and
eventual deportation. If this report, which
comes to us from good authority, should prove to
be correct, it is a state of things that should not
be allowed to exist a single day. OF what use
will it be for US to make a pretense of Graduating
the disease if the work is not done thoroughly?
To allow any person, no matter what his rank or
circumstances, of whom there is good reason to
believe that he has leprOsy to continue at large
among the people, would be the most wretched
species of trifing.

HIS MAJESTY AT THE HospTTAL-Our King as
may naturally be supposed, takes a deep interest in
everything that pertains TO the welfare of his native
subjects, and omits no opportunity to express his
kind consideration and sympathy for those who are
afflicted. AT the Queens Hospital, a few days since,
His Majesty was present on one of his visits, (Which
he makes occasionally in q quiet, unassuming man
ner) when an operation was performed on a native
man for amputation of the arm. The kind, cheerful
words that were spoken by the King to the sufferer
evidently had a wonderful effect, and did him more
good than could have been accomplished by all the
tonics in the dispensary. 1t was q pleasant sight to
observe the g%ratifed looks of the patients as His
Majesty passed through the wards, with kindly and
courteous words to all. By such acts is true nobility
exenplifed.

up, and after few social shifts at Brother
Iliggins's dog began to examine the hlnd leg
of the latter with his teeth, apparently Tor The

animated contest cnsued, and one OF the con-

separating the animals, His efforts were not
wholly successful. He would snatch at the
ler of He gins's dog, but before his hand got
there the yellow dog would be on that side,
and would probably take an incidental and
cursory bite at the dcacons hand. Brother
Higgins paused in his discourse and watched
the deacon. Then he exclaimed, Spit in his

A SLUR ON YREKA-FoX, the corrcspon
dent of the New York HeraM in the MOdoc
region is genial, whole-sOuled fellow, and
not by any means badlOoking. He tells the
following story at his own expense, with much
gusto. There was a ladies' fair recently at
Ireka, and Fox made himself popular with
the ladies. Among other cXCtements there
was cane which was to be presented
to the handsomest man in Yreka, the votes
of the ladies determining who that was.
Somehow or other the cane was voted to Fox,
who mOdestly accepted it. Just as he was
about to leave Ircka, Il denizen of that flour
ishing city came up to him and said: "FoX
old boy, | believe that election was squar; |
don't believe there was any stutfin' votes, or
anything of that kind I'd be sorry TO believe
it. | don't mind your taking away that cane,
and I've nothin' but kind teelin's towards
you, but-lm sorry for Ireka. It's pretty
