THE !, STORM BRD.r-This vessel, belonging 10
the Hawaiian Government. sailed from this port on
the oath of last June, on a voyage to the Pacific
Islands for native immigrants. Since her depart
ure. now one hundred and 6fty-eight days, no It'd
ings have been received Of her. During the
present week we heard a rumor that by the Oc-
tober mail from the Colonies. Mr.. James Campbell,
the well-kuown retired sugar planter. had received
a Queensland paper, containing a statement to the
effect that during the month OF September a brig
anime called the Storm Bird had arrived at a port
in that colony with a full load OF Polynesian
=. labor" and was then r~eitting for another cruise.
We lost no time in interviewing Mr.. Campbell at
his country residence at honolulu. and he fully
confirmed the above statement as having been
contained in the Queensland paper received by
him but unfortunately the paper cannot now be
found. We do not wish TO believe that Messrs.
Jackson (the mastery and Freeman (the agent)
have deliberately absconded with the vessel ; ami
it is just possible that there may be another Storm
Bird. "a brigantine. and in the labor business,
besides our own vessel of that name.

THE New YORK ELECTIoN.-We failed to get a
full file of New Zealand dailies by the Australia.
but we hear that one of the It'll instant, which is
somewhere in town. contained a telegraphic dis
patch from London to the effect that the election in
the State of New York had gone in favor of the
Republicans, and that Cornell, their candidate for
Governor. had been elected. The steamer due on
Monday will bring particulars. The result as
stated is not surprising, in view of the split in the
Democratic party. So far, there would seem to be

hardly " Solid South y for the Democrats.

The BARK fKALAKAUA."-A libel was filed by
Collector General of Customs last week in the Su-

So tins OF opium. containing about three and a half
pounds. because the said opium was Struggled
into this Kingdom on said bark, on or about the I'd
instant. At the time the struggled opium was dis
covered. the ingenious way in which it was con-
cealed in some frewOod shipped from San Francis
co. will be remembered. The case was heard be-
fore Chief Justice Harris, Messrs. Castle & Hatch
appearing for libellant, in the absence of the At
tofney General and MIR. :. B. Dole for claimants.
On Monday last. tue Chief Justice gave his decis-
ion. confscating the bark. After reviewing at
length the evidence adduced. His HoHor remarked:

country for the benefit and profit OF the witness Rit-

II appears to me certain that the opium in question
was imported in the bark KdldkGud with the guilty
knowledge of those in charge of the said vessel.

TRAIN THE BOYS FOR BUSINESS

There is one element in the home in,
structio11 of boys to which, says 4 Boston
paper, too little attention has been, given.
and that is the cultivation of habits of pune
tuality, system, order, and responsibility.
In too many households boys from twelve
to seventeen years are too much admins
tered to by loving mothers or other female
members of the family. Boys lives during
those years are the halcyon days OF their
existence. Up in the morning inst in sea-

mother puts it-in fact, having nothing to
do but enjoy himself.
Thus his life goes on until school ends.
Then he is ready for business. He goes in.
to an office where everything is system. or
der, precision. He is expected to keep
things neat and orderly, sometimes kindle
fires, file letters, do ~errands-in short, be-
come a part of a nicely regulated machine,
where everything moves in systematic.

MANS AGE

Few men die of old age. Almost all die
OF disappointment. passion, mental or bodi-
~ toll, or accident. Passion Kills men
sometimes, even suddenly. The common
expression, choked with passion. has little
exaggeratlon in 1t; for even though not sud-
denly fatal, strong passions shorten lite.
strong-bodled men often die young; weak
men live longer than the strong, for the
strong use their strength and the weak have
none. to use. The latter take care of them
selves, the former do not. AS it is with the
body, 50 it is with the mind and temper.
lie strong are apt to break, or like the cam
die, to run out; the weak, to burn out.
The interior animals. which live, in general,
regular and temperate lives, have generally
thclr prescribed term of years. The horse
lives twenty-five years ; the OK fifteen or
twenty; the lion about twenty; the dog
ten Or twelve; the RABBIT eight the Guinea
pig SIX or seven years. These numbers all
bear a similar proportion to the time the
animal takes to grow to its full size. But
man, of the animals. is one that seldom
comes up to this average. He ought to live
a hundred years. according to this physio-
logical law, for five times twenty are one
hundred; but instead of that he scarcely
reaches, on the average, four times his grow
ing period the cat six times, and the rab-
bit even eight times the standard of meas
urement. The reason for this is obvious
Imam is not the only the most irregular
and the most Incorporate, but the most la
borious and hard worker of all animals and
there is reason to believe, though we can
not tell what an animals secretly feels, that
more than any other animal man cherishes
wrath to keep warm, and consumes linn
self with the fire OF his own secret refec-
tons.

His dress hung loosely upon him. He
wore a dirty brown, rusty coat and waist
coat, brown breaches once crimson, an old
black wig and black wooden stockings al
ways. His wig never sat straight on his
head; they were always black or brown,
seldom powdered, and a comb could have
got through them as easily as through a
quickest hedge. He was terribly short
sighted, and the wigs were generally burn
ed away in front by the candle he held too
near. He ate like a wolf, being wholly alb
sorbed in the act. His eyes were riyeted on

pay the least attention to any one till he

so voracious that his veins would swell and

would drop upon the table. Macaulay, how

were formed in youth when he was poor
and often half starved, and glad to get food
