PHoNoGRAPHY.-Mr. J. Glendon, a proficient in

accomplishment. For information please apply at
this ONCE. -
AROUND THE IsLASD.-A gentleman who returned
to town on Thursday from a trip around this island
performed in a one-horse wagon, with his family,
describes the excursion as one of the most delight
full imaginable. -
eS- The flags on the different FIRE engine houses
in town were displayed at half-mast on Thursday,

ARRAIGNED-Yesterday Henry Christensen, the

stabbing ARRAY occurred last month, was a~rraigned
in the Police Court, charged under the common
nuisance law with keeping a baWdy house" The
hearing was set for this morning, and bail fixed at
Ave hundred dollars.
CRUELTY TO AN ANIMAL-The story comes to US
that some natives engaged with q horse and cart in
drawing sand from the pit on the mauka road to Ku-
laokahua, beat the horse numerically, he having
fallen with his load, and that he died on Monday, in
the pit, from the effects of the reatment. Don't we
need a missionary from some " society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animalsf"
THE CENTENS1AL-A Philadelphia paper states
that work upon the Centennial ground in Fairmount
Park was begun in July, and is now being pushed
with great energy. A force of FIVE hundred laborers
is actively engaged in digging away at the founda-
tions, and iron and stone for the buildings have al
ready begun to arrive. Arrangements are making
for the prosecution of the labor day and night.
Altogether it has been one of the most agreea-
BILE, comfortable summers we have ever spent in
Honolulu"
Altogether, we do not remember a month in
Honolulu for the last twenty-five years, when the
sun has been SO powerful and the heat so Cypress
i've during the day, and the nights SO sweltering
and uncomfortable, as the month of August last
past. -
THE BRITISH PEERAGE.-We live and learn. And
now we learn from the Gazette that the Queen hay
ing made the Lord Mayor of London a baronet,
this affords a notable instance OF elevation from
the pillow to the peerage." We have always sup
posed that to be made a baronet was to receive an
order of Knighthood, but that one must be created
q baron in order to become a peer. But We pause
to hear again from the Gdzette'S Blackstone.

GONE To FIJL-A new field appears to be opened
for fugitives of American Rings" The colony
in Europe is said to have grown so ineonveniently
large as to be conspicuous and a late San Fran
cisco paper chronicles the fact that q defaulting
county treasurer from that State has turned up in
one of the Fiji Islands, where he has a plantation
and a flock of native wives. The New York Times
cordially that Pacific Paradise to the
lingering friends of Genet, Connolly and Sweeny,
who may be meditating flight and know not where
to go. -
PREPARATIONS are being made on a grand scale
for a party of fifty American Master Masons. under
the auspices of the Royal Solomon Mother Lodge
in the city of Jerusalem, to leave New York on
September IL, 1874, and visit the land of the east,
where the mystic rites are supposed to have had
their origin. The gentlemen will be absent about
Eve months, and arrangements are being perfected
by which the most extraordinary advantages will
be secured by them at a comparatively moderate
cost. During the expedition the party will visit
the Masonic lodges in Egypt, Palestine, Syria,
Asia Minor, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and
Great Britain. Robert Morris, Esq, IL. D., a gen.
tleman we'll read in eastern travel, will act as
~chaperon to the party.
The New York correspondent of the Ledger says
that in that city parties are beginning to divide on
the Beecher business, just as they did on the On
derdonk case many years ago. The whole matter,
in all probability, will ultimately end its way into
the courts. The report now is, that, under Gen.
Buffers advice, Mr. Tilton is to institute an action
for damages against Mr.. Reecher, claiming that
through his wicked instrumentality" his home
has been broken up and his domestic peace de-
stroyed. A suit for divorce at the same time will
be commenced. Mr.. Tilton himself has made a
statement 10 the reporters substantially amounting
to this. =
