THERE is a difference between one who dsfsrs to
an opinion, and one who turns a deaf ear to the same.

ont in uniform on Wednesday last, and performed
escort duty at the funeral of their late comrade. Mr..
Andrew Hall, firing three vollies at the grave.

BETA was born in France, on the 30th OF October,
1898; that he is q Catholic; and that his ancestors
came from Genoa, in Italy.
PLEAD GULTY.-Al of the crew with one exception,

BREAKING UP.-We learn from Molokai, by the
arrival of the .Moikeiki last Thursday, that the
recent stormy weather has resulted in breaking up
the schooner Ka MOI to such an extent that she will
prove a total loss. -
A New ORDER.-We learn that the colored resi-
dents of this city have organized themselves into a
secret association of the mutual benefit order, known
as the Sons of Carthage. The objects of the Order
are mutual assistance and improvement, and there
fore worthy of respect and encouragement.
ERRATUM.-In the case of Komohai VS.. KaLele,
the decision in which in favor of the defendant ap-
pears in the Gazette this week, we are requested to
note that the Counsel for the plaintiff was Mr.. Dole,
and for the defendant, who recovered judgment, Mr..
McCully. Their positions were inadvertently changed
in the published report.
LAU OLIvA.-We have received the first number
(new series) of the monthly paper in the native
language with the title of 1.-the Olive Leaf" 1t is
neatly printed, at a subscription price of only 80
cents per annum, and is conducted by the Rev. H.
Fl. Parker, which last is a sufficient guarantee that
it will prove a good family paper.
ACTION on THE BoND.-Yesterday in the Police
Court, Judgment was given in the case of the Min
lister of the Interior VS.. Geo. c.. Siders, proprietor of
the Bank Exchange, (fned last week for violation Of
the law in furnishing liquor to natives), the bond

appeal was noted to the Supreme Court.
SCHOONER AsHoRE.-The schooner Hattie went on
shore at Hakalau, Nawiliwili, Kauai, during squalI
on the 9th inst. By last accounts she was lying
easily on the sand beach, the masts having been cut
away, and strong hopes are entertained that she viii
be got of. We understand that Mr.. D. Foster, one
of the owners of the Hattie proceeds to Kauai to-day,
per schooner Odd FeIol, to make the effort.
PUNAHoU JoURSAL--By a slip from the editors of
this enterprising juvenile newspaper, We are sorry
to learn that owing to "a combination of circum-
stances - the publication is suspended. At the same
time we are pleased to u learn that ga plan is on foot
for the issuing of q real literary paper to take the
place of the defunct PunahOu Journal In adj
vance, we bespeak for the proposed enterprise a
cordial reception and a solid success.

A DIsCovERY.-An antiquarian informs us that
the recent heavy rains have unearthed an important
and interesting discovery, being nothing less than
the original bed or foundation rock of the streets Of
Honolulu, first laid down by an ancient road-maker
named Tom Harding. who is said to have fourished
some twenty or more years ago. These old roads
were formed of pounded coral rock, are declared to
Notwithstanding the lapse of time and the vast
quantities of loan that has been heaped above them,
nearly as good and seryiceable as ever.
Our sANcTUM is open at all times to our friends,
and we ch~eerfully recognize the obligations we are
under to a curious and communicative community
in that we are ready and willing to welcome all who
&c wish to see the editor provided that our visitors
do not abuse the privilege and ourselves at the same
time. "Be courteous, friend Bilkins,'' was our mild
reply to that venerable gents abusive language to
US Yesterday, when he interviewed US anent our jokes
of last week Be courteous, and you will be
happy Courteous @ shouted he; "Look here,
Mister Editor, 1 read all the papers published here,
and my opinion is that if you amt a pig-headed-put-
your-foot-in-it, you're nert door to one !"
MASONIC DEDICATIoN.-The brethren of the Mystic
Tie, residing on Maui, have taken a step in advance
of their brethren of the metropolis. They have not
only fitted up a very neat lodge-room, at Wailuku,
but have added a reading-room, bathroom, bed
rooms, and other conveniences for the use of brethren
residing at a distance. The property is their own,
and free from debt, except to the members Of the
lodge. Having received a charter from the Grand
Lodge of California, the ceremonies of consecrating,
defeating and instituting the lodge and installing
its officers will take place at Wailuku on the 29th in
slant, and will probably be public. We have been
requested, on behalf of the members Of the new
lodge, to invite all brethren who can make it conven-
lent to leave their homes for a few days, TO be present
| on the occasion. We hope there will be a good dele
/ CATION from Honolulu. Those leaving here by the
steamer of the Goth need be absent only five days.
