as a circumnavigation of the globe. His
Majesty is not a circumnavigator but if you
want an expressive phrase, he is a ~circumterres-

cester, and take note.
c A neighbor wants to know something
about the statute. which is to be placed upon
the vacant pedestal before the Government

to place there a copy of a statute, that foreign
editors in this country shall possess a correct
knowledge of the English language.

q On Sunday morning last the first service
was held in the new Kaumakapili Church. The
lower part of the building was fitted up with
temporary seats and was filled to overlooking by
an attentive congregation. Mr.. Henry Water

Spouse to his call for subscriptions to the Build

u Pieces of charred wood of the cocoanut
tree have been brought up from a depth of $50
feet, from the artesian boring which is being
made for the Government at KamOiliili. These,
like similar fragments brought up from a depth
of 240 feet in Mr.. Jaegar's we'll, were found in
clay Immediately below a thick bed of coral rock.
At $50 feet, still in the clay, n fossil shell-pro-
badly a erebratula-was found but only the
internal cast has been saved, rendering identif-

Society held last Saturday evening after the
literary and musical portions of the programme
were concluded, the congratulations of his
friends present We're given to the new Chief
Justice, and there was a unanimous call upon
him for an address, with which he complied. In
the course of his remarks, he referred to the
views which had been held by some persons as
to the political or quasi-ministerial character of
the office of Chancellor, which is united with
that of Chief Justice, and said, for his own part,
he should be content if he could serve his
country faithfully as the Chief Justice of her
Courts. The land will rejoice in a Chief Justice
solely devoted to the administration of justice.
BH| Two ladies had the ill luck to suffer a
capsize in King street on Saturday afternoon
last, and one of them lost her watch and the
other a wrist stud, losses which they did not in
the excitement of the moment notice. When
the things were found to be missing and a
search for them on the scene of the accident
had proved ruthless, the police were informed Of
the matter and took prompt steps to trace them
by visiting all the shops where such articles were
likely to be offered for sale. Amongst others
Chung Kow was interviewed and when he heard
the watch described, Immediately identified it
with one that a native had offered to sell to him
a short time previously. He subsequently
found the native and handed him over to the
police. The man, Paakauea by name, tried tc
defend himself by a statement that he nm
meant to keep the things till they were
tised, and that he did not offer thu Eli
sale, but that Chung Kow had 8
hand when he was taking me 1890

So for it which he had r
