= An unsatisfactory state of things exists
among the Chinese who have arrived per Lydia.
They are all still on board the steamer, and re-.
fuse to go ashore unless allowed to land freely
on the wharf. They were all satisfied whilst the
vessel was outside the reef, and for sometime
after she came inside but became FESTIVE
after conversation with several scow-loads of
their fellow countrymen who were passing on
their way from the quarantine Establishments to
island-bound schooners. Some 300 of the immi-
grants who came under contract with Mr..
Spreckels, and about 40 who are " uncovenan-
ted passengers, are willing to go to the quaran-
tine stations ashore, but the others having
threatened that they will kill the first man who
puts his foot over the ships side, they are
eight or ten ringleaders, and although not desir-
GUS to resort to anything like force if it can be
avoided. The consignees intend that if persuasion
does not suffice, a charge of creating disturbance
shall be laid against these men. Yesterday MIR.
Irwin Representing Mr.. Spreckels) Mr.. Afong's
son, Mr.. Loo Ng awk and Mr.. Wong Quai, went
alongside and had a conversation with the men.
They acknowledged their contracts with the
% big plantation and said they were ready to
carry them out, but they would not go to the
quarantine stations because they had been told
8 these are the barracoons in which you will be
put and sold to the plantations" They were
willing to land on the wharf and sign their new
agreements but no persuasion or argument could
their objection to the " baracoons."

PETITION.

HONOLULU, March 70, 1881.
MAY IT PLEASE Your ROYAL HIGHNEss We
your humble petitioners, earnestly entreat that
the case of Paulua, now under condemnation for
murder, and sentenced to be hung on Friday,
the 10Th inst, be reconsidered ; as we feel as
sured that there are mitigating circumstances to
be brought forward, now better understood than
at the time of trial. Therefore we earnestly
pray Your Royal Highness to interpose the
royal prerogative of clemency, at least SO far as
the granting of a reprieve for a time or the
combination of the sentence of death for a term
of imprisonment.
We humhly pray Your Royal Highness, that
the life of a fellow-being, and fellow-citlzen be
spared"

An Ohio Girl Marries q Chinaman
Columbus (O,) Journ,

A very interesting event took plac,
at Wesley Chapel last evening. it bein,
the second wedding in this city il
which a Chinaman and an American
woman were the contracting parties
| The groom was Wan Koon, bette.
known as Ben Hope Lee, and the bride
Laura Cleary. They were attended by
Wah Hing, Wah Lee, zee Wing, Jane
Gu and Jow Hong, and Misses Heller
and Belle Cleary, of this city, sisters o.
the bride, and Miss Ida Davis, of Chill
licothe. The ceremony was performed
in the chapel by the Rev. A. G. Hirst
in the presence of large audience
The affair soon became noised about
on the street, and there was great
rush Of people to the church, but most
of them arrived after the ceremony
was over. There was, however, a gen
eral prom enading around to congratu-
late the parties. During the ceremony
the mother of the bride was greatly af-
fected, and it was, throughout, seri,
GUS ceremony, but after it was over all
were gay and lively. The bride is IS
years old, and was born here. Her pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs James Cleary, live
at No. 527 East Friend street. Mr..
Cleary is plumber by trade, and the
family is in good circumstances for Ia
boring people. The bride had been
working in her husbands laundry for
the past year, and she is highly spoken
of by all who knew her. Ben Hope
Lee was dressed in full conventional
style, and the bride in black silk, with
lace trimmings. The presents were
very rich, consisting of seven-stone
cluster diamond ring, worth 800, from
the groom; diamond ear-drops and
gold bracelets from Jow Hong, and
others of less value. The brides pres
ents In the way of jewelry were rich.
She wore an elegant gold watch and
chain which her husband had present
ed her some time ago. After the con-
graduating at the chapel, the party re-
paired to Schneider's restaurant.
There were twenty guests at the tables,
and an abundance was served, includ-
ing wines from all parts of the globe.
The Chinese rice wine was pronounced
the best ever tapped in this locality.
The tables were served in all that could
be obtained. The parents of the bride
are Catholics, and it is stated that Ben
Hope Lee will espouse that faith.
There was a social gathering at the
home Of the parents Of the bride in the
evening. They will board at the Capt.
tai Hotel, and the husband has an am
pie bank account for the future.

LEAVING THE FARM.

And so the time has come, my man,
The end we've long foreseen, ga
When We must leave the dear old farm,
With all its meadows green;
The mortgage is foreclosed, they say;
And might makes always right,
But this is not the end we saw
When we began the fight. ..a VI
How often in the eventide
We've planned for future days
When we could send the girls to school
And drive our span Of bays.
Ere then we thought nice new home
Would lend an added charm,
1t looked no easy then to pay
The mortgage on the farm.
But years passed on and troubles came;
think wen always mind
The summer that you broke q leg
y And got almost blind; HW
We scarce could pay the interest. .,
With doctor bills and ALL
And hired help for everything CIT
From early spring till fall.
The "corner lot" has cost US, man,
A hundred dollars clear
For every acre stumpcd and fenced,
II seems so very queer. "#
/ know we've moro than paid the price
OF every rod ofland,
Yet we 60 forth in our old age
With helpless empty hand.
To every foot OF this old farm
We're bound by priceless bands;
The orchard and the shading elm
Were planted by our hands;
The claim" we hold within our hearts,
Wrought out with honest toll;
The counterpart our spirits hold
No sheriff can despoil.
Yet it is hard. God knows how hard,
To leave the dear old place, f
And know that stranger hands will soon
Old landmarks quite efface;
But then dear man, it is not long
Well need home below,
Wen bide the "house not made with hands, "
Where healing waters flow.

Fatal Explosion.

The steam boiler at Risks foundry
on Front street corner Auction, ex-
ploded yesterday with fatal results.
Ed r Hopkins, foreman of the ma
chine room and in charge of the en-
CINE at the time, and W. H. Holder,
solicitor fthe firm we're both killed.
Frank Cubbins, son of Mr.. John
Cubbins, John Adams. John Hoyle
and Day Williams were badly injured,
others sustained slight injuries. The
boiler was lifted clear from the
ground, tore its way through the
building, glanced on the sidewalk and
knocked hole some dozen feet in the
wall of the county Jail. The side of
the machine shop where the boiler
stood was badly wrecked by the flying
missiles. In the inquest held upon the
victims by Esq. Quigley gave their
opinion that the death of the
two men was caused by employing
an incompetent engineer, who allowed
the water to run out Of the boiler.
Among the narrow escapes was that of
a drayman, the wheel of whose vehicle
was dashed to pieces by the flying
boiler. The verdict Of the jury of in
quest is regarded as rather hastily
made up, as the information shows
Mr.. Hopkins, the engineer in charge,
to have been careful and very com
petent engineer and foreman, and that
he paid the penalty of his life for the
jury's alleged incompetency, though
really no more component man than
he could have been found. Mr.. Hop
kins was directly over the boiler when
it burst. He leaves a wife and three
children, residing at No. 10 johnson S
avenue. The other man killed left no
family.
It is stated, however, by those fa-
miliar with the boiler, that it was
condemned some ten years ago, after
having been long in use by Mr.. Ran
dali; that it was afterwards taken down
to President island and used for a
period, and that during the few
months it has been operated at Risk s
it has never worked in a satisfac
tory manner.

How the CentrnI Orgnn TaIkes u,

The Nashville American has at last
heard something about the proposed
injunction, and with powerful com
posure remarks:
1t was given out in Memphis that a
fiat had been obtained. A sensational
dispatch about such charges as any
body can put in bill and some peo-
pie can swear to was sent to the New
York Herald. All this was precisely
in the short" line. Bonds were sold
short here, as we said would be done.
The scheme, however, did not work
to any alarming extent. Some of
those who sold had to draw out at a
loss. The political shorts will fare as
badly. When this scheme was started
here we pronounced it a desperate
financial and political game. 1t was
not improved by the subsequent
touches it got in Memphis, and Jack
Williams name gave it no additional
standing. The character of the move
ment is such as we have stated il to
be. Comment upon the matter in its
aspects as a legal contest we defer
until the bill is filed.
