were students at the Polyteehnicon. Berlin, and
who had lately been ordered back to Russia, have

mines of Siberia, on the charge of belonging TO
secret societies.
PARIS REsrAURANr-Thi neat, airy and pleas
ant establishment on Hotel street, fourth door west
from Fort street. was opened last week by NJ. De-
jean, and those who like their food properly
cooked never leave it disappointed. Dejean is he
cook, par excellence, of Honolulu.
STILL ALARN-On Monday afternoon, about
~halt-past five O'Clock, an alarm of fire ran through
the streets, caused by the explosion of a lamp in a
Chinese shop on King street, near Maunakea. En-
gines Nos. l and 2 were on hand in a few minutes.
but their services were not needed.
Ma. II. w. SCHMIDT assumes the vacancy in the
partnership of H. Haekfeld & Co., caused by the re-
tirement of Mr.. Furstenau. Mr.. Schmidt is a gen.
tlemsn of superior business ability. and highly
esteemed by all who know him. His advent to the
firm will prove an additional element to the public
stimatiOn of this enterprising house. 4,
CAT FIsH-Mr. NJ. ]. Rose, the enterprising car
rage manufacturer on King ST.. has received per
City of Sydney, one hundred half-grOwn black cat
fish, fifty being in good order, which he has planted
in the clear, cool streams of ManOa Valley. Mr..
Rose hopes, in due time, to be abls to supply to a
moderate extent those who know how to appreciate
this delicious fish.
New ADvERTIsEMENTs.-Money spent by enter
prislng men in advertising their business, thus
bringing their establishments prominently to the
notice of the public, is money well and legitimately
invested. Many q large fortune has been acquired
by judicious advertising. ]. 7. Warehouse, c. F.
Wells, ]. H. Lynch, and others, whose announce
ments appear in to-day's paper, evidently recognize
this fact.
QUITE a number of old residents who have been
absent on visits of health, pleasure or business, re-
turned to their Island home by. the last steamer,
among whom we notice the names OF Mr.. p. g.
Jones and family, Mr.. IL. Schmidt, Mrs. J. B.
Atherton and children, C. NJ. Cooke and family,
G.. c. wilkins and wife, Mrs. Louisson and family,
Mrs. H.. Warehouse. Miss McInerny, Miss McIn-
tyre, J. T.. Waterhouse. jr., II. Cornwell. ETC., etc.
BUGLARY AND THEFT.-Some time early during
yesterday morning, the bedroom of Mr.. p. Jones,
at the foot of Pauoa Valley, was entered by thieves,
and Il gold watch and chain stolen. 1t is valued at
about $500. A circumstance not favorable to the
lthiefs' selling the watch is the fact that Mr.. Jones'
name is engraved on both cases. N. B.-LOok out for
your premises in these days, for there are lots of new
California Cinnamon about.
EJUBILEE-Next Friday, the Goth inst. will be the
hfftieth anniversary of the ordination of the Rt. Rev.
DIR. Maigret, Bishop of Arathea. as a priest. On

this city. After the service q lunch will be offered
in the church yard. The Catholic clergy, without
further invitation, will be happy to see all their
friends at this festival, by which they desire to rem
der the honor due their venerable chief.
MUNICIPAI--The want of n municipal govern
ment for Honolulu was shown by a little matter
apparent to every passer-by on Hotel street, not a
dozen blocks from Fort street, the first part Of the
week. A pile of lumber completely covered the
sidewalk. one end Of which extended diagonally
into the street some four or Eve feet. A nice little
stumbling block in the path of the unwary or near
sighted! Severe accidents-even broken limbs
have resulted from much slighter causes.
HAVE CARE.-On Saturday evening a lamp in
the establishment of Griffin s. Dwight suddenly
exploded, the oil running to the floor in a sheet t. Of

guisbed the fire before it had time to do any
damage. We notice this trifing matter to warn
the many people who are in the dangerous habit
of leaving lamps burning in their houses when
they go out for an evening walk or a neigbborly
call.

satellites, the organ grinder being one of the most
pernicious of the latter. One of them paid our town
a visit the first of the week, bat we hardly think he
will reap much of a harvest here.
KERsoKSE OIL.-It is now becoming known that
even the best brands ofkerOsene oil depreciate in quail
ty by age. There are immense quantities of the most
fsvorite brands now in store at San Francisco, which,
from their age, are almost Unsalesble if newer oil
can be obtained. These old oils are forced OF at any
price, large quantities being sent in this direction.
Customers should be careful in purchasing, and buy
only Of responsible parties who will not deceive them
by selling an old, and therefore inferior or dangerous
article.

on the street at the fact that our Governor should
thus be made to do duty for two gubernatorial divi-

legally or otherwise. With the present facilities for
frequent communication between the Islands there is
