wrTn the number for December the Californian
concludes its first year and second volume. The
editor says: 50 far MS our patronage IL concern
ed we have met with generous welcome. Start
ing in an inauspicious time the Californian hasyet
made an suspicious beginning. " This are glad
to hear and we think that its second year will be
even more prosperous than its first. A perusal Of
the index for the volume, which IL published this
month, shows what valuable addition to mag
azne literature has been contributed by the Cali
lornidn. In the present number the following will
be found particularly interesting "Savcnarola, "

The American bark Amy farmer, Capt. Newell.
arrived the Sd inst, 1873 days from Boston. She
is n very handsome vessel and appeared at her
wharf after her passage through the Atlantic,
round the Horn and up the Pacific, perfect mo-
del Of neatness and efficiency. II Ia always easy
enough for q smart Captain and crew TO give ship
coat of paint on any fine day towards the end OF
passage but to an accustomed eye the way the
sails are furled, the lead of the running gear and
the condition Of the standing rigging is more elo-
quent than paint, and we know Of scarcely any
ship brought into this harbor in the highly credit
able condition Of Capt. Newelrs.
An ATTEMPT WAS made to enter DR.. McKibbin's
store from the mauka side, on Sunday night. The
burglars first tried the window and pried up the
sash, but baffled by the iron bars inside
They then attacked the door, but failing to open
it, stripped of the moulding OF the upper land
larger panel and bored two holes, one ut either
bottom corner in order TO wrench out the panel,
but here they were beaten again, for the door was
| lined with sheet iron. The instrument employed,
blunt piece of rod-iron, was left behind. The
| attempt must have taken up a considerable time,
| and necessarily made good deal of noise. The
police knew nothing about it until they called
In the next morning. 1t is supposed that the bur
glars were in search of opium. This is the fifth
or sixth attempt on the same store.
| Honolulu and her affairs continue to attract a
good deal of attention in the United States. I'm
der the heading of Sandwich Island Affairs" we
learn from the Deseret Ne,rs of Nov. o. 1880, that
the Mormon Conference here commenced on the
9th of October, lasted for five days of refreshing
religious exercises" Thirteen meetings were held
and Elder b. Cluff lectured on the book of Nor
mon for an hour and half each evening. -Four
Elders" foreigners TO judge by their Names and
ten native Elders, were appointed for mission pur-
poses in this group for the next six months. The
writer is very hard on "Apostate Mormons," who
will he says, always vote for the man that pays
best. We congratulate ourselves and non-Mormon
| readers at the thought that we have not to listen
to Brother ClufT the book of Mormon" for
an hour and half each evening, to say nothing OF
the rest of the sixty speakers who are reported as
having helped to provide the refreshing
exercises"
ON Saturday evening last the California Theatre
Co. gave their first entertainment in Honolulu nj
the Royal Hawaiian Theatre where they will con
tinue to play until the Music Hall is ready for oc
cupancy. The programme, Saturday evening was
the laughable farce, " The Wandering Minstrel
both of which were admirably executed and wer,
well received by the large audience. Where all OF til,
players did well we cannot commend anyone IL
particular. Mr.. Chas b. Wells, j. M. Francoeu
and Miss Eliza Long wel-known in Honolulu
and the other members of the company have al
ready become favorites with the public. On Mon
day evening the company rendered the comedie
"Six Months Ago and "Checkmate" On Thursday
was given the pretty little domestic drama :" Chin
ney Corner in a thoroughly artistic style, no rant
ing or roaring but really good acting,s good tina
we could not help wishing them better theatre an,
a larger audience The latter they are sure of whel
their merits are known.
