A Trip up Nuuanu valley and it. Re.uIt.

One or two people were rather surprised few
days ago TO see remarkable looking vehicle wend-
ing its way up Nuuanv Valley 1t had somewhat
the appearance Of travelling 81 ow. There were
certain mysterious looking implements dashed on
al the back which gave II the appearance of dis
abled brig making for harbor while on the seat
were two individuals certainly not costumed in
the latest Paris fashions, whose knees were nearly
doubled up to their chins in consequence of the
numerous baskets and bundles which the fore
part Of the buggy contained. TIE little BOYS
turned out and cheered as the strange conveyance
passed and then Owed into their mothers rooms
% beg for quarter to 90 and see the Punch and
Judy men. The kanakas looked on with wonder
ing eyes and said T" ia la ha 7; but then every
thing IS 30 be expected from tine crazy foreigner
The horses SHE'D and the very COWS lifted up their
tails and straightway bolted. Only John China
man met the extraordinary vehicle with unmoved
lace ana stolld features, his mind intent on
'makee dollar But IL wasn't a travelling show
IL was only artist and or amateur out for
day in search OF the picturesque. In evil
ment the amateur had been struck with violent
desire OF spelling clean white paper and holding
out the magniiicenCe of the view TO the artist he
IN an equally evil moment joined him. Dodd was
interviewed, and he refused TO let anything with
four-whees go over that road, so in n two-wEeeed
trap the victims started. The fun began very
shortly after the start, the lashings of the anna
teurs easel gave way and there general
stampede 10 catch the pieces. Then there was a
crash of crockery in the lunch basket but take i;
all m all they got along pretty well for the first
mile or 50. Once passed Mr.. Woods residence
however, and they began 70 appreciate why it was
that no four-wheeler was fit to 20 up. The only
question in the minds of victims. was whether it
would be better to keep on the road or 90 down
% the bed Of the stream and drive along that.
They finally concluded to keep on and if any one
will take the trouble to step round to Whitney a
ko5ertson's window they will what kind of a
keep on it was. At one moment the horse seemed
the point OF falling backwards onto the trap at
another telescopes had to be got out to try and
discover If anything could be OF The beast at
the bottom OF some yawning abyss. Then one
wheel would playfully spin round in the air while
the other would be wading through n rat about or
feet deep. A sensation somewhat of the same
kind as causes Sir Joseph Porter 10 "seek the |
seclusion that a cabin grants " seized upon the |
stomachs Of our two travellers, and finally they /
ANONYMOUSLY rolled out and led their poor suffer
ing beast FOR the last half mile OF so.
Arrived % the Pal, they luEched in the pre-
sence OF tie police guard, there stationed, who |
took n greater interest in the proceedings than |
they did IN the numerous Celestials who were con
siantly passing and repassng. When the party
proceeded TO business the e fOrce" subsidized
by the amateur 10 carry up his paraphernalia
while the true artist comfortably tucked his trans
under hls arm and master of the situation.
The myrmidons of the law carefully guarded the
paint siashers for the rest of the day, and we
ready 20 aver that no smallpox was spread by
them. How much was taken across by the pas
sengers We are not prepared to say, they were two
hundred feet OF more below the feet of friends
who c0nld therefore give no report neither could
the police. The pleasure of the day was some
what msrred by the prospect of that road. it
weighed like a pail upon the spirits of the unfor-
tunate victims. Finally the shadows began to
lengthen on kaneohe Beeia, and Kaaaea the

had obtained two excellent sketches and the anna
teur had produced wonderful work which has
been YariOusly labelled by those who have seen it.

With these spoils they returned. We must draw
p veil over that journey. The artist walked con-
siderable distance. rope being occasionally
thrown 20 HIM TO help him out of the ravines. The
amateur gave If up altogether and joined the
cavalry. The trap was conducted to town by
Young friend who seemed to have but small regard
for his neck. Result of the expedition, two
sketches, daub much Anglo Saxon, sore bones,
