Minus FEET AND HANDs.-We saw q native woman
one day this week, who was born without either feet
or hands. She was a healthy, cheerful looking per-
son, and was being carried on the back of her hus-
band. As an illustration of the requirement of &C
complishments under difficulties, it may be mentioned
that with her stumps she manages to sew very veil,
and is an adept at playing on the ~jewsharp-
The BEER BusINEss.-One day this week in the
Police Court a Gne of fifty dollars was imposed on

Stationery store we saw the other day a Splendid
portfolio, we should call it-intended for the recep-
ton of ferns. the covers of which were made of the
most beautifully polished kou and koa woods. We
suggested that when completed, it would be a fitting
