Morgan, which ar- rived here yesterday afternoon after passage of sixteen days from St. Croix, reports that since leaving Cape Hatteras, seven days ago, a shark about twenty feet long followed the vessel and did not leave it until she came to anchor of the beach in the harbor yester- day afternoon.

More Bodies on the NarraSansett-TheO Of.
 RcinI Invasffaafinn.


 Two bodies have been found in the after cabin of the wreck of the Narragansett now at Cold Spring, L. l., those of men between twenty-five and fifty years of age. One is five feet eight inches tall, the other six feet :; the latter had his hair cut short and was clean shaved the former had black hair and was slightly bald. In the pocket of one was a silver watch, patent lever, made by Mir. F. Tobias of Liverpool, No. II ,97O. A coroner's jury viewed the bodies, which were taken to Oyster Bay, where aninquest was held last evening. The headless body which came ashore at Great Neck, Waterford, June 22, and, after an inquest which failed to identify it, was buried there, has been identified as that of Dr. O. K. Sammis, of Deer Park, Suf- folk county, l.. I.
 Inspectors Hovey and Beckwith will begin an official investigation into the cause of the disaster to the steamer Narragansett next Thursday morning in the Superior Court room in New London. The manner of con- ducting the investigation has not yet been outlined, and the inspectors are not prepared to say what witnesses will be summoned It is probable that several days will be con stunned in taking testimony.

Canned Corned BeeE-A Family Poisoned
 -AH R R&eoveriur

Mir Otis Cook, his wife and a little daugh. ter were poisoned Sunday morning at their home on Benton street by eating canned corned beef They partook of the meat for their breakfast, and about one hour later were taken violently ill and Dr. Hastings was sent for. He almost immediately decided that they were poisoned by eating the can ned meat He promptly treated them for poison and they began to get better. Mon day morning the mother and little. girl were up and about, but MT. Cook, who ate more heartily of the meat was unable to get to his work, though much better than he was Sunday.
 There are large quantities of canned meat sold, and this is the first instance in this vicinity that has come, to our knowledge, whereby the consumers have suffered i'll ef- fects from it's use. Of couase, as this is an exceptional case, people should not be too nasty in condenning canned meats. Hartford

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1880-09-18

l. WE HAVE heard, from time to time, with
Rev. l.. Lyons to prepare and publish a re-
vision of Andrews Hawaiian Dictionary.
We, and we are sure many others would be
glad to aid in every way so valuable an
undertaking. Hawaii occupies a position
of primacy in Polynesia, and her language
deserves and ought to receive the fullest
attention, not only at the hands of linguists
and philologists, but at those of all who
love the country and nave made it their
home. There are many scholarly and
thoughtful men here from amongst whom
a Professor of the Hawaiian Language
might be selected-a working professor, not
a mere tutor-to whom might be confided
the task of making an exhaustive reseach
into all the Polynesian dialects. The vari-
ations to which the language has been sub
jected in passing from one group of islands
to another are of extreme Interest to the
philologist, and it is only by a minute
study and comparison of them that the his
tory of the migrations of the race will ever
be ascertained. European and American
scholars labor under immense difficulties
when they attempt to grasp such a subject
without personal knowledge of the people,
by whom the various dialects of the Ian
guage are spoken and of the peculiarities of
the countries and climates they occupy.
If ever the work is done properly, it must
be on the spot and by some one who can
devote himself wholly to it.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1880-09-18

: THE rainfall experienced on these Islands
is amply sufficient to render fertile every
acre of their surface that is not occupied by
bare lava, if it could only be controlled and
directed. 1t comes irregularly, but chiefly
at certain seasons of the year, bathes the
mountains, run from them rapidly, and
finds its way to thes sea before it has effected
one 1.-THE of the good we want to secure
from it. We cannotc control it's coming, but
but we might lengthen its stay and distri-
butte its benefits more equally. Storage
reservoirs might be constructed at very
moderate expense on every one of the ISL
ands. By means of these the surplus fall
of one season can be rendered useful when
the natural supply fails. A reserve force,
available when most needed, can be secured
in this simple way, which would be of in
calculable benefit to the country. Private
enterprise may here and there dc some
thing OF this sort, but as the water springs
and streams belong of right to the people,
there will always be extreme jealousy when
the right of diverting water from its natu-
raj channels is conceded to individuals. Pri-
vate enterprise also will not undertake to
store water for the public benefit, unless an
ample profit on the undertaking is conced-
ed. Moreover the very places where a con-
slant supply is most needed, are the last
hat private capital will chose for such an
undertaking. 1t remains then evident that
II anything of a practical nature is to be
done in this matter, it must be treated as a
national question. No public work hat
could be undertaken is so likely to return
both directly and indirectly a profit to the
national treasury han that of providing a
constant supply of the greatest, simplest
and cheapest of all fertilizers, where now |
abundance alternates with distressing
drought, and agriculture is p~araIyzed for
want of water during great part of the |
year.
