Losr-The following is inserted for the sake of
"sweet charity and for the benefit of the parties
concerned: The Police Judge of Lahaina, who left
his Office on or about the 18th of April, and has not
yet returned, some of his friends think he has gone
to attend the Legislature. Anyone returning said
Judge will be rewarded with q copy of the new laws
that are to be passed this session.
The Gazette has again got itself into trouble with
the legislature. Its remark. that the division of
His Majesty's salary in the appropriation bill, into
separate items was too thin to deceive even I" the
most stupid legislator was regarded by some of
the Honorable members as personal to themselves,
and yesterday morning the Objectionable sentence
was solemnly discussed before the House.
A CHAMPION SWIMMER SAY.-A communication
from W. H. Daily, the champion swimmer Of the
Pacific Coast. has been received. and in which he
states for the benefit of himself and the public at
large, that the party who swan a race here lately,
with a native. and was beaten, has no claim to the
name of Daily, but is really one James Maben, and
whom the champion himself has already defeated.
Mr.. W. Fl. Daily also says that he intends to visit
the Islands in the near future, and as he has the
reputation of being a first class swimmer, we hope
he will, and try conclusions with some of our boast
full natives.
