EE II Will no uOuDl Interest our SulutSe
readers to learn that news (not Officially has been
received of the death of one of the Expresses
Regent of China. This will, of course, cause
the whole of the Empire to go into official
mourning. AS it occurred about the time that
King Kalakaua was in the country, it had prob
ably some effect in shortening his stay, and
likewise interfering with his visit to the capital.
There is more ceremony shown in the act of
mourning in China than in any other coun-
try in the world. No silk garments can be worn
during the period of mourning. The deceased
Empress was one of the widows of the late
Emperor Hienfung, who died in 1861. From
that time up to her death she shared the reins of
Government with one of her sister DOwagers :;
meanwhile there have been two juvenile En-
perors, Tung Che and Kwangsu, the latter be-
ing on the throne at present, but still a minor.
In consequence of the verdict arrived at by the
Coroner's jury at the inquest on the body of
David Paahao, Mr.. C. J. Wall and the Rev. W.
J. Larkin, were arrested on Tuesday afternoon
ON a charge of manslaughter. They were brought
to the station house where they were Immediately
liberated by Mr.. Dayton, on their giving their
word of honor to present themselves at the
Police Court on Thursday at 8 AN. This liberty
on parole was accorded to them in consequence
of an order issued by His Excellency the Attorney
General ad. interim. On Thursday at the
appointed time they presented themselves at the
Police Court, Father Larkin being accompanied
by his counsel, Messrs. John: Russell and S. B.
Dole. The Government not being ready with
any case against them, Mr.. Preston, who appeared
for the Attorney General, asked for an adjourn
ment to Monday morning, which was consented
to by the defendants and granted by the Magis-
trate, |The defendants We're therefore again
liberated on parole.

On Tuesday last Kainina was sentenced by
Mr.. Justice Bickerton to pay a fine of $50 with
$3.50 costs, for practising medicine without IA
license. In view of the mischief which native
doctors have done during the smallpox epidemic
it is to be regretted that only this solitary con-
viction has been secured. Evidence in such
cases is not easy to get at, but it is to be hoped
that other offenders will yet be brought to
justice. Whether a fine of $50 will serve as a
deterrent from the future practice of a lucrative
profession may be a moot question.
- Those who attended Professor Swift's
lecture on "Macaulay's Genius and Writings,r
on Thursday evening, enjoyed a treat unegualled
in its class by anything that has before been
heard in Honolulu. During the course of his
essay, Professor Swift, delivered two recitatious,
one from the Essay on Warren Hastings, and the
other the closing paragraphs of the Essay on
Greek Literature. These were given in an admira-
BILE manner, and excited unbounded applause.
Professor Swift enjoys in common with
Macaulay the natural gift of a splendid memory
which he appears to have assiduously trained.
There was a crowded house at the Lyceum on
Thursday, but should this gentleman be induced
to deliver other essays here, a much larger
building will be readily filled with those anxious
to hear him.

Not a few of our anecdotes of Wit

clergy, all denominations of whom are
at times represented. This time it is

We speak. Through the influence of
presiding elder, WHO, as he thought,
was prejudiced against him, he was
appointed to small and scattered
settlement, when he aud most Of his
friends felt that be ought to have
been sent to some prominent position.
Lamentlng the narrowpess of the field
to which be had been allotted, be was
reminded by friend that he ought
not to be dissatisfied, but rather to
pray that he might see the hand of
the Lord i'll his appointment to just
such place. To which he replied,
Il have-I have tried: brother, to do
as you say; and time and again I
have prayed to the Lord that I uigbt
see His hand iu it, but every time. as

| FORCED CONFESSION,

1t had been q suItry day at Fern
Island. All the afternoon the tree
boughs had dropped under the
tropic glow of the sun, the birds
had huddled silently in bowery
noyks, the cattle stood knee deep
in the delicious ripples of the linn
ped water, and Kitty Crawford,
peeping out from behind the screen
of her Madeira vines, had watched
the party OF picknickers 60 by in
their little pony phatons and the
huge, covered wagon, not without
a sigh.

still more impatient in it's tone.

to patter inexorably down, and a
zig-zag streak of lightning shot
crosswise across the threatening
sky, zone of living fire.

Shall be my lot,
If that wherein my hopes delight

Or day and night, my meat be tears
