iB- We had the pleasure of examining some
specimens of the tallest sugar we ever saw,
the house Of Messrs. w. &. Irwin & Co., KaahG-
manu- street, in this city, or that perhaps eve
grew anywhere. The bunch of specimens consist
ed OF about dozen pieces the longest of which
measured Is feet. This cane was. grown on the
plantation Of Messrs. P. Milton 81 Co., at Olowalu,
Maui. We were informed that there is about forty
acres Of cane as tall as the specimens examined,
and it is too tall to stand erect; but is well flied
with sacarine matter and will yield about seven
tons to the acre. THE above is an extraordinary
yield of cane, and only goes to show of what the
Hawaiian Islands are capable in the way of rails
ing cane. We have heretofore said that we can
beat the world in raising cane, and these specimens
from the Olowalu Plantation confirms the state
ment- just think of seven tons of sugar to the
acre? Where in all the world can such yield be
obtained Atthis rate single acre ofcane viii pro-
duce about Is, 400bs, which at 81 cents per pound
win realize upwards of 81, 800 This is what we call
doing big thing, aud shows what can be done by
good management and attention to business

The rumor that England is sending 80. 900 men
from India to operate in the of the Russians in
Armenia, by Lake Van, is evidently groundess.
Such force could only advance by way of the Per-
sian Gulf, and the permission of Persia would be
needed before it could traverse its territory. This
permission has not been received, and the Shah, alb
solute in his own dominons, is guest of Russia.
Indeed the court of Tehersn is said be complete
ly under Russian influence. Moreover, there does
not to be any advantage in sending an
army corps to so distant point from its base of
supplies. 1t would be isolated, and unless cooper
atiDg with Persia, could not effect anything. The
Turks in that region have no power. This rumor,
which originates in ST. Petersburg. is probably in
tended to stimulate the feeling in Russia.
If the Russians or Fenians thought they could
steal march upon the Dominion of Canada Nova
Scotia they must be convinced by his time that they
miscalculared the chances. The frontier line and
strategic points of the Dominion in a thorough
state of defense and heavy battery is to be mount
ed by Colonel Irwin, R. A, to command Victoria
and Esqumault harbor. In addition to this land
defense the turret ship Thunderer has been ordered
to reinforce the British feet in these waters, and
fast covette is on the way out. England has already
ten ships of war upon this station, which can be
reinforced in fortnight three weeks at the out
side from the China squadron. in telegraphic

CONWAY AND CARLrLE.-Moncure D. Conway il

enthusiastic admirer and with whose intellectual if
he is intimately acquainted. Since he went to Eng
land he has been a constant visitor to and close
friend of Thomas Carlyle, who has very actv,
liking for the rtualstie and clever American. Fol
years Conway has been getting materials for and
preparing the biography ofthe sturdy Scotch conoc-
last, who has suspicion of the fact and would be
very indignant if he knew it. having declared again
and again that he wants windy word mill biogra
pixies of him. that his active life. if there has beer
any value in it, will be the best thing he leav,
to posterity. Conway holds different idea, and il
already well advanced in his work, which ough
to be very interesting he had ample facilities and
because hardly anything is known of Carlyle's pri

American about forty-fve, the biographer is likel.

AN UNFORTUNATE WoMAN.-A New York doctor
has daughter who is now % years old-a perfect
ly formed woman, with the exception OF her head,
which is that of pigs Her mother died in giving
her birth. She speaks half dozen languages per
fectly. She is thoroughly educated. Being debar-
red from all human association by her misfortune,
she has sought and found partial alienation IN the
cultivation Of art in all its forms. She has of
, the purest, highest and truest souls. She goes
out in closed carriage and with her head closely
muffled, and she speaks without any trouble but
owing to her peculiar formation OF her throat,
mouth and nasal organ the sound of her voice re-
sembles very closely the squeaking of pig.

IMPROVED TMEs.-The Boston Post says: With
nearly two hundred million of coin in the treasury it
will be perfectly easy to bring legal tenders to an
equality with gold. We may surely count on i'm
proved times after this and not have to wait for the
day of actual resumption either. With an enlarged
market for our domestic productions the situation
would be almost without drawback. a sound cur
rency is of the first consideration of pros
porous state of trade but open and free market is
the stimulus and promoter of the interests of
skilled industry. We shall hope that reformed

LIFE LENGTHzSED.-In all countries and all lati-
tudes the well-to-do live longer than the poor by
Gus influence OF an anxious mind on the bodily
health, the anxiety for to-morrow's bread. PEN
stoned persons live indefinitely long, poor-houses
of Great Britain can any day turn out large army
of men and women among the eighties and nineties
who have been in those institutions for twenty and
thirty years, owing in great part to an habitual
feeling of confidence that ample provision is made
for the future and the mind is at rest but it must
not be forgotten that the cleanliness the plain
food, and the regular habits, compulsory in those
institutions, contribute greatly to the end.

The END DRAwETH NIGH. The time designated
in The resolution for the Introduction of new bills in
the Legislative Assembly having expired it fair to
presume that the session Will be brought to close
about the end of the present month. The Assembly
has been in session since the Both day of April SO
that if ii should close at the end Of the present
month, it would have occupied just three mouths
quite long enough We opne. For all practical pur.
poses think it would be well If its vacations
longer than at present provided by the organic
law. The truth is the world is governed too much,
and the same remarks might be applied to the
Hawaiian Islands with equal force.

A CuriOus speech.

Gen. HrGHEs made rather curious open
ing Of his speech in defence Of JESSE Bill
LINGs. Jr. He told the jury that ii he should
meet one Of them alone he would hardly
know him. Considering that he has been
sitting in front Of this same jury. only a
few feet from them. for the last two or three
weeks, we should say he must have re-
markably poor memory Of faces.
Next he said TO them:
Your minds are made up Nothing that tx
sad bg counsel on either side irW att Il tedth-
cr's freight 10 the erii,nce IN this case"
If Gen. HUGHEs believed ths-lf he felt
certain that his words would be only as the
idle wind, possessing less weight even than
a feather-how could he conscientiously go
on talking for two days, OBTAINING the tired
Court and jury, and prolonging uselcssly
the agonizing suspense OF the prisoner?
The defence is compimented as able. and
1t may be successful; but the words we have
quoted seem idle in the extreme, and mean
inglcss. They put the author who followed
them in such prolonged speech in an in
consistent and even ridiculous position
