the handsomest dress. The stock of under
clothing is large and varied. and in a climate

selection and wear Of these garments. There are

cRocxERY n GLAsswARr.

Mr.. L. 5. MossMAN has been established
in the crockery and glassware business, on the
corner Of Nuuanu and King streets, almost ever
since there was a corner there. They have
always been known to have ON hand just the
kind of goods ia their line that people want, and
this year their display Is uncommonly large aud
fine. We notice first some beaHtiful lOwer-p pots
and jars in Maiolica ware. These have been re-
ceIved in pairs and single specimens. and those
who wish to decorate their rooms and verandahs
with their choicest flowers grown in the choicest
receptaclcs can find here an opportunity to secure

ranging from black and gold To bright and pleas

with bright flowers, ~hand-painted on their
smooth surfaces, aud ~rivalling in form and colors

fine articles we pass on to an assemblrge of vases;
vases ia glass and porcelain of various beautiful
shapes and decorated with charming devices. We
particularly note n pair OF tall porcelain jars that
bear on their gracefully shaped sides colored in
green and gold. panel pictures exquisitely
painted and there fixed by firing. so as to be as
imperishable as the jar itself. Near tins beauti-

eide between these two pair of vases when seen
together than it would BE to select either from a
larger group. Mr.. Mossnan calls our attention
to the new designs in presentation or

our own particular coffee or ea-cup. and
here we can choose for ourselves or another from
a large number ornamenSed with notices of kind
import, or, what are even prettier and newer,
embellIshed with odd or familiar figures. We
notice that the prevailing taste for delicate orna-
mentation that now prevails is extended to these
articles. and We find a simple spray of flowers
laid over a more family traced fern frond or grass
head to be very pleasing. Next to the cups with
their accompanying saucers stand some very
handsome d~ecanters and water carafes. There is
a wealth Of design and trained skill displayed in
the manufacture and finish of this ware. There
can be no more beautiful material, when hand
'somely finished, than clear glass in which to hold
the water we drink-or the other fluids that
others indulge in. When there is added to the
surface such ornamentation as the ~lapidary i'm
parts, and we see the finished vessels displayed
as they are in Mossman's store we feel that we
need 60 no further in our search for the beautiful.

that are original and highly ornamental, and we

ing calculated to hold IA bountiful supply of water,
and the bowls being of ample size, we can wish
for nothing better in tins line. There is one

AND kUKUI ORNAMENTS.

Some years ago Mr. EckART came to Homo
lulu, bringing with him a fine taste trained to
the manufacture of jexelry in many curious and
beautiful designs. He did much to improve the
taste of the people I'm his art, and to this day We
find Mr. Max EcKART, established at Nos. lib
and lis Fort street, manufacturing most beautl-
full articles Of jeweIry. More especially does he
exercise his art IN the production of delicate and
original articles from the kukui nut and shells
We are, many Of us. familiar with the necklaces
and armlets that have been made from the
kukui nut by the natives, and many Of them are
very pretty. Mr.. Eckart takes these nuts and
mounts and pOlishes them until they resemble
beautiful jet ornaments in lustre and blaekness.
We have seen n butterfly with kukui nut wings
set with delicate golden and euameled spots,
with little diamond eyes and golden antenna,
that were simply exquisite. Anything into which
the material can be cut and carved can be made
by him, and IN the setting and finishing of shell
jewelry he is particularly skillful and original.
For a mementO Of the Islands in the shape OF
Of anything we have seen. Any one having some
one thing that they prize as a relic OF the past,
or as peculiar to the Islands, can trust to Mr.
Eekart's taste to have them mounted and en-
belIished IN gocd taste and workmanship. In
Mr.. Eckart's store can be consulted Flitner's
standard clock for time, and in the show cases
are very many handsome articles oil jewelTy. The
choice selection of plated ware displayed IN the
large upright case at the back of the store COM
prises many desirable articles selected with
much care.

CLOTHING, MATS, AND DRY GOODS.

Notwithstanding the fact that there are IA
number Of establishments in Honolulu filled with
IL large variety of goods Tor wear and ornamen.
tation, our old friend Mr.. ). MAeNIN has re-
turned from the coast bringing with him a very
choice and varied stock of clothing and Quitting
goods, with which he has filled not one, but two
fine stores. In the nholesale store in the Beaver
Block. Queen street, there is being placed a stock
selected by Mr.. Magnin with especial reference
to the wants Of city and country dealers on these
Islands. Mr.. Magnin has had a long experience
i'm this market, and has made his selections this
season from the best lines Of goods on the coast,
with the especial purpose OF presenting every
thing new and novel. The ruling fashions in
cut. color and material have been consulted by
him in the line of mems and youths clothing.
and the long lines of jaunty. tasty aud fashionable
coats, pants and vests excite our admiration and
afford no excuse to any one for not being we'll
dressed. Especial care has been taken in the Sc
lection of goods IN this line that are the best TO
be worn in u climate like this, and we lsok to
see more well dressed people in the streets during
the cominS season than ever before, and Mr..
Magnin will probably secure - large share OF this
patronage by exhibiting just such articles as are
wanted by all. The retail establishment, in
CumpbelI's Block, Hotel atreet. just around the

everything that is manufactured for the work

embraces every variety OF knife and fork that is

A Terrible Death.

About three months ago the wife of Mr..
Kennedy Gray an engraver, residing at No.
1916 Van Buren, street, was bitten by a mad
dog, and few days since hydrophobia set in,
resulting in her death yesterday morning. II
appears that she discovered the dog, large
black one, on her stoop, and attempted tc
drive it away, but the brute snapped at her and
bit her hand The rabid canine sprang at her,
and she then caught it by piece of broken
rope, which was around its neck. The dog was
too heavy for her to throw it Off, but she
managed to keep it from fastening its teeth in
her throat, though, as it snapped from side to
side her hands and arms were severely LAGER.

The brave woman then caught the brute by
the lower jaw, and undertook to hold it until
help could come, but the dog broke away from
her and ran. In the yard it attacked a small
dog belonging to the family, but did not sue.
coed in biting it. On the street it succeeded
in biting several stray animals before citizen
shot it. One of the dogs bitten has since bit
ten lady living in the vicinity, and the neigh.
borlrood is greatly excited over the affair.
Mrs Gray went to Van Burens drugstor and
had her wounds cauterized. The wounds
healed rapidly, and Mrs. Gray experienced no
trouble till last saturday, when she became
sick. The following day she was seized with
spasms, and DR.. Philon c. Whidden was sum,

critical condition and with marked symptoms

The usual remedies were applied, but moth

what was administered was given simply "a

displayed great loathing for food, and the
sight of water threw her into spasms. The
least noise disturbed her, and breath of air
was sufficient to put her into commissions She
realized the hopelessness of her case from the
first, and few hours before her death called
the family about her and talked to them, re-
calling her life and eyhorting them to live a
useful future Her remains will be taken East
