The mail bag which was sent up from Kapaa to
Honolulu by the steamer james Mckee on Satur-
day the 29th ult. appears to have miscarried,
through somebody's carelessness, as none of the
letters were delivered in that city up to the time Of
the sailing of the james Makee for Kauai on
Wednesday. the ID inst The people of Kapaa and
the adjoining districts felt much annoyed by this
failure to connect and express the hope that
the time may come when the business of the Homo
lulu Post Office shall be run upon more SYSTEM
attic basis. We are informed that it is not the
Post Office but the steamer which is to blame in
this matter. We suffered from the inconvenience
ourselves, being unable to furnish our readers
with our usual stock Of items from the Garden
Island. The mail was delivered 10 the Post
Office authorities Just as the steamer leaving
the wharf on Wednesday afternoon.-ED.

our Issue of last week, but owing to some mistake
about landing the mail the letter did not reach US
till Thursday morning:l
A wedding breakfast was given by Col. Srauld-
ing and lady to Rev. and Mrs. Wainwright on
their arrival at Kapaa, on the 18th inst. On the
day before the arrival of the bridal party, num-
Der of friends and well-wishers met at the cottage
and decorated ceiling, walls and alcoves with deli
cate ferns and the fragrant male. Rare flowers
were arranged in tasteful bouquets, in vases and
upon the walls--and after the busy workers with
their skillful fingers had ceased labor the place
was perfect fairy bower. A horseshoe of deli
cate green, studded with tube-roses and foverets
of pure white, was suspended in one doorway.
Pictures. brackets, ard everything was adorned in
the most artistic manner, and on the morning of
the reception, an eager group gathered at the sea-
side cottage and anxionsly awaited the appearance
of the bridal party. At about 10 4. II. they we're
met at the parsonage door, and though an unfOr-

joyfulness of the occasion. Congratulations and
introductions followed, and pleasant converse filed

generously supplied with good things, well pre-
pared and served, was done justice to by all. 4
toast by Col. z S. Spaulding responded TO by

many wishes that the union thus entered upon
might prove blessing 10 the happy pair-and

The Growth Of the Gun.

Hunting for game was practiced with
bow and arrow only, until in the six
teenth century the Spaniards contrived
the arquebus or matchbox. Here the
match was fitted to a serpentin or
cock, hung upon pivot, and brought
into contact with the priming by a work
ing substantially the same as that of the
modern hammer and trigger. This was
further improved by the German inven-
tion of steel wheel with serrated edge,
fitted to spring, and made to revolve
rapidly, the edge coming in contact with
piece OF pyrites, and, by this friction,
producing the sparks to ignite the prim-
ing. The use of the wheel-lock for
sporting purposes was very general in
the middle of the sixteenth century, and
for a long time it was not improved
upon.
But necessity is the mother of inven-
tion. A band of Dutch chicken-stealers
or of Spanish marauders- is dis
puted which-being too poor to provide
themselves with the high-priced wheel
lock, and afraid to use the matchbox
because its light revealed their where
abouts to the minions of the law, alb
stained from their evil practices long
enough to devise a weapon better adapt
ed to the needs of roost-robbers. The
result was the hintlock, and the pot

Something in the Bed.

Judge Pitnam has habit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he goes
to bed. One night, somehow, it slipped
down, and as the judge was restless, il
worked its way down toward the foot
of the bed. After bit, while he was
lying awake, his foot touched it: it felt
very cold; he was surprised, scared. and
jumping from the bed, he said:
''By gracious, Maria, there's toad OF
something under the covers; 1 touched
it with my foot.
Mrs. Pitnam gave loud scream, and
was on the floor in an instant.
"Now, don't go to hollering and waken
up the neighbors," said the Judge. ''You
get me broom or something, and we'll
fix the thing mighty quick.
Mrs. Pitnam got the broom and gave
it to the Judge with the remark that
she felt as if snakes were creeping up
and down her legs and back.
"Oh, nonsense, Maria! Now turn
down the covers slowly while hold the
broom and bang it. Put n bucket of
water alongside the bed so we can shove
it in and drown it. !"
Mrs. Pitnam fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom uplifted, and as the
black ribbon of the silver watch was re-
vealed, he cracked away Mt it three or
four times with the broom, then he
pushed the thing off into the bucket.
Then they took the light to investigate
the matter. When the Judge saw what
it was he said:
" L might have known-it is just like
you women to go screeching and fussing
about nothing. It's utterly ruined"
1t was you that made the fuss. not
me, said Mrs Pitman.
You needn't try to put the blame
on me-" then the Judge turned in and

One day about year ago, n medium

in the evening, on the side of the Bowery.
A policeman came along. The gentleman
asked the officer what the crowd was
doing there, and the latter replied
grufily:

business, ANYHOW. Move on"
Il asked YOU n civil question: said

officer. lyon move on.
Il won't" persisted the man firmly
'Well, Ill take you in," announced
the cop, and he did.
About II block from the station house
the two met the sergeant, who saluted
the arrested man politely, while the cop
looked on in astonishment. The SER
geant asked what the trouble was.
HE was disorderly and / arrested

face as he spoke.
"You internal fool!" exclaimed the
sergeant, ''don't you know who that

"No," said the officer, family.

"I wouldn't have mortgaged ii, was
the fearful reply. "Suppose j, instead OF
your father, had died, Ned" she con-
tinued. "do you think he would have
been contented with his lot if had
wiled his homestead into other hands
and left him 10 feel himself a burden In
the house of his children? Do you

Ned Huntline did not reply. But his
brow contracted he was thinking,

great change i'll him. No one would have

that me would deteriorate in 80 short n
time from the tidy, well-preserved young
man Of the decade gone by into the
seedy, careless and wretched-appearing
fellow that he now was.
"If the homestead had remained

Ned, nor would have been dependent

1 can't-but 1 wish to impress on you
an important duty before my change

"What is it, mother?"
1T is this: Never wrong your wife,
even on your death-bed, by willing the
hard-earned home away from her; and
never imagine that you can make her
comfortable in her widowhood by de-
priving her of everything else and be-
slowing upon her q daughter-in-law
that she did not choose as her only
legacy"
There was a rap at the door, and O
magistrate entered, bringing the looked

hammer, and had barely brought enough

And the angel swiftly In silence

And they laid the delicate nower-wreaths

And then heaped the cold earth above him
While the ohildren's feet trod light.
