NEW YORK, April Z, 1866.

The followingis an interesting case of
man employed in an Iron Foundry, who,
pouring melted iron into a flask that was
damp and wet, caused an explosion. The
melted iron was thrown around and on
him in perfect shower, and he was
burned dreadfully. The following certiti-
cate was given to me, about eight weeks
after the accident:
NEW YORK, Jan. IL, 1866.

Founder. l was badly burnt by hot iron
in November last; my burns healed, but
had running sore on my leg that would
not heal. tried Halloway's Ointment and
it cured me in few weeks. This is all
true and anybody can see me at Jackson's
Irou Works, I'd Avenue.

How CHARLEY SARGENT GOES FOR
THE MISUNDERSTANDING the deputies
John Thompson sent out was General
Jubilee Sargent. On his list was Faux
ner, of West Virginia, who lives at
Martinsburg. He had disappeared the
night before TO attend court. Sargent
put literal construction on his orders,
and struck out for West Virginia on
the Baltimore and Ohio road. When
he reached Martinsburg he found that
Buchanan's ex-Minister TO France had
gone over to Charleston, and Sargent
came back to Harper's Ferry and struck
up the Shenandoah Valley. He pulled
Faulkner out of bed, and this morning
as the first rays of the rising sun were
gliding the dome Of the Capitol the
deputy and lis victim filed out of the
Washington depot. Mr.. Faulkner made
his appearance on the floor to-day, LOOK.
Ing very much like man that had dined
on buzz saw. Sargent having turned
over his man, proposed to start for New

B8~ Last week, in Congress, when
some very important measures were
pending, it was found that there was
no quorum present. SO there had to be
call of the House and the Sergeant
alarms, Thompson, sent out to arrest
the absentees. Amongst those absent
from his post Of duty was Mr.. Faulkner,
a deputy named Sargent was dispatched
for him. This much by way Of explain

The treaty had not passed, it is trne, at the
latest date from Washington, but we have no
doubt Of its success, and trust that it is already
a law. 1t was to be acted on as soon as the
Senators returned to their places, several
friends of the treaty having ben absent dur
ing the exciting session of the presidential
convention. Its proclamation here on the 18th
of June will, we think, be found to have been
opportune, reaching Washington at the very
best moment to exert a beneficial influence. We
shall not be surprised to receive the first news
of its passage, via Portland, Oregon, by the
Falzinburg, which was to leave that port
about the end Of June, and will be due here in
all next week.

The Legislature.

The Liquor law of Hon S. Kaai has occu-
pied the Legislature during the past week,
BY the provisions of this law, if signed by
His Majesty, all subjects of the King are put
on an equal footing in regard to the privilege
of becoming intoxicated The distinction
which has heretofore prevailed by which dark
skinned subjects were denied the white
skinned subjects right Of imbibing ardent
spirits is to be levelled. 1t is somewhat
amusing to hear the white subject complain
because in the debate the darker skinned sub
ject has but repeated the argument which has
been made for years against the use of intoxi-
eating drinks. During the debate the Minis
try divided. His Elk. the Attorney General
favoring the bill while His Elk. the Minister Of
Foreign Relations opposed it. The Attorney
General remarked that the traffic in liquor was
disreputable. His Elk the Minister of Foreign
Affairs asked him how about the wholesale
business? The Attorney General replied that
it was equally disreputable
On Wednesday the Assembly was severely
exercised in regard to its consumption of ice.
The rigid economists becoming rabid at the
proposition to. increase the supply to ten
pounds, instead of five A very heated debate
ensued, and on coming to vote the ayes and
noes were called. We have to regret that we
cannot furnish the constituencies with the re-
suit. The most important measures of the
session are allowed TO pass without the appli-
cation Of the test of call for ayes and noes.
The course of the Assembly thus far will fur
nish to the thoughtful 4 cud to ruminate upon,
but we cannot promise anything refreshing as
a result.

DoNF1REs, INCIDENTS, &c.

During the evening Punchbowl was all aglow
with bOnfres, which even paled the full moon.
The display of fireworks. which lasted
for nearly two hours, was not so grand as
on some previous occasions. But the Commit
tee of Arrangements made the best display
that our limited market would Afford
Three salutes were fired during the day-13
guns at sunrise and sunset, with national sa-
lutte of 81 guns from the u S. s. Lackawanna,
at noon, which was responded to by the Ha-
waiian Government firing the same number
from the Punchbowl battery.
The populace generally was imbued with the
spirit of enjoyment, and among other incidents
worthy of notice was an express wagon filled
with gay and festive young fellows who navi-
gated the streets to a late hour, relieving their
exuberance of spirits by an incessant ringing
of dinner bells and popping of crackers.
As before stated, the number of persons on
the grounds has been estimated at 5000, but
during the evening, the number who witnessed
the fireworks was much larger, and among this
large crowd the utmost order prevailed.
The commissary department was very pref
tily arranged and decorated, and over the en-
trance we noticed these original lines, surroun-
ded with a wreath
The stars shall fade away,
The sun himself grow dim with age
And nature sink in wears;
But thou. o 4th ofJuly-irnmOrtaI day
Shall rule the world anh
Have DER Universe the sway"
No wonder that everything went off well I'M
der the inspiration of the embryo poet, whose
patriotism as well as his composition is worth
noticing
Besides the grand celebration in the city,
there were gatherings on a smaller scale in the
country One of these was at the sea-shore
residence of F. S. Pratt, Esq, where there was
a large crowd of residents and natives, to wit
ness some very fine fireworks which were set
off.
Altogether, it was the best arranged and
most satisfactory celebration that has ever been
seen in Honolulu. All who contributed admit
that the money was well spent
During the day many private residences were
decorated with flags and festoons, but among
them none was more conspicuous than that of
DR.. J. S. McGrew.
We must not omit to refer to the two pro-
grammes which Were printed-one for the Tea
Party, at the Adosrtissr Office, and the other in
three colors at the GAZETTE office. Both are
as fine specimens of Typography as could be
executed in America.
The day closed without an accident of any
kind whatever--a record which Can seldom be
said of holiday in Honolulu.
