bert Waller at auction last week. Mr.. WIS expert
ence in the business is a guarantee tina: in his
hands the Family Market will maintain its popu-
larity with the public.
A PoErIcAL DRUSK.-The police found a man last
Saturday night reclining in a pensive attitude in a
gutter. He was a native, but when aroused be
spoke English as well as the whisky would allow.
He struck a stage attitude and exclaimed in cultural
tones-"O Anna, why dids't thou leave me thuslyi
o tigers heart, wrapt in a woman's hide, a-h.h -h 80
fAnd they took him of TO the lookup.

present Royal Family and their infant daughter,
were placed on hearses and transferred by ~torchlight
and with a guard Of troops from the cemetery at
Kawaiahao to the Royal Mausoleum in Nuuanu
valley, under direction Of His Ex. Gov. Dominis.
CoMPLnENTARY.-Tbe Gaseue, in an editorial
paragraph says that the Guards we're entertained at
Capt. Hassinger's residence at Kewalo, on Monday,
and did good shooting at q target. The inference
would naturally be that friend Hassinger was the
Captain Of the Guards-but he isn'ta And again, IL
is hard on the Guards when the editor in the same
breath says that 4" there was the usual number Of
accidents, most Of them attributable to drunkenness.' -
Really, we had given the company the credit Of
being composed Of sober men. But we suppose it is
all owing to the GazeIe's way Of " putting things"
IT DID'ST Huron Monday. as two ladies we're
driving out Of town past the Kawaiahao church, q
little boy, ONE six or seven years Of age, one Of
a group playing by the roadside. ran suddenly before
the wheels Of the carriage, which passed over him
before it could be stopped. The ladies screamed as
they felt the wheel lift. and as soon as possible turned
back, expecting TO see the lifeless form Of the boy;
instead Of which be was found unhurt and playing
as lively as before. They wished to take him to a
doctor TO be examined, but he insisted that he wasn't
hurt.
