A ParIer Nufsauee.

Mr.. EDIRoR Il am disposed to run q tilt
against q very genial favorite in household ac-
commodations - the rocking chair. "Wha a
eurmudgeon"-some reader of these lines will
exclaim: "He don't want to lay back in a free
and-easy seat and rock and lull his Tags and
cares away"
I do like a rocking chair to flop down into-a
broad seated, broad armed one and with my
arms lolling down, and one leg thrown over an
arm of the swinging seat, whilst / propeI q lit
tie with the toe of the other-not caring a ID
how things go, is what 1 do like. But I dou't
like the rocking chair in the parlor when 1 call
upon a lively talkative lady, or when something
of the kind calls to see me. She will oscillate
my head iato an everlasting ache. Now, here
is q lady, she has called to see me, she gets into
mothers rocking chair, she fixes my attention,
and l am all eyes and ears at her service while
she talks and rocks, and rocks, and rocks. My
head gets dizzy with the pendulum in skirts be-
fore mel shift my line of vision a little so as
to relieve the strain on the retina; but the ever
lasting rock is increased to concentrate my OBJ
servation.
Some time ago l called at the Hawaiian Hotel
upon two nice ladies, recently arrived from the
Coast, I am sure they were both pleased to see
me, they adjourned to the broad verandah and
got into big rocking chairs, imported by Herbert,
and, in a jolly way, started off in high glee to
talk about mutual friends-the one lady trying
to forestal the other in her information to me

also to our mode of selling the same, charging only
for the ACTUAL WEIGHT of the gold used, and not
for the base metal comprised in springs, key pipes,

accompanies each one of our gold cases, which
plainly indicates not only the gross weight of the

In EXPLANATION OF THE ABOVE, we desire to say
that the old plan of charging for the gross weight
of the case, as if it were all gold, worked well
enough as long as the manufacturers were content
with the amount of brass and steel actually re-
quired in its construction but when the business
was degraded into q contest as to who should get
the most base metal into the least quantity Of
gold, and call it q GOLD case, then the time came
when, in the interest of dealers in American
watches, it became necessary to adopt q plan of
selling, showing the buyer exactly how much GOLD
each case contained. In adopting this method, we
act in conformity with the earnest wishes OF the
leading houses of the trade, some of whom have
already undertaken to carry out the same idea in

were split and blown away. Some time during the

The Late Mrs. Lucas.

We have the pain to record the death Of an old
resident here, Mrs. Lucas, wife OF Mr.. George
Lucas of the steam planning mills. The deceased
lady had accompanied her husband to the Coast,
and was taken i'll of pneumonia in San Francisco.
Mr.. Lucas took passage home in the d. G. Murray,
but Mrs. Lucas's ailment did not abate during the
voyage, and she died at m. Wednesday, the vessel
being then becalmed off the eastern end OF this
Island. A boat was sent ashore at Waimanalo,
and news of the sad event telephoned to the family,
with a request that the steamer Waimanalo might
be sent round. This was done, and the Waimanalo'
with the assistance of the Pele, which vessel went
out at q later hour, towed the ID. @. Murray into
port, where she was berthed soon after 8 p.m. at
the wharf opposite the Custom. A coffin having
been prepared beforehand, the body was removed
to Mr.. Lucass residence in Kukui street at once.
We tender our sympathy to the bereaved husband
and family, and shall be Joined in doing so by
every one who knows them.
THE funeral of the late Mrs. George Lucas took
on Thursday afternoon, moving from the house
in Kukui place shortly after 80 pm. There was
a very large concourse, especially of ladies, friends
of the deceased, at the preliminary service held by
Reverend DIR. Damon at the house. The respect
in which the deceased lady and her husband are
held here was shown by a large number of mourners,
the end of the long procession being still below
School street when the hearse arrived at the
Nuuanu Cemetery.

Fire Department, at their regular monthly meet
ing, held last evening, passed the following re-
solutions -
Whereas the hand of Divine Providence has
been heavily laid on our respected Ex-Chief
Engineer George Lucas, by the removal from
our midst of his beloved wife, and we who have

household afflicted by this dispensation there

Resolved That we sincerely condole with
our Ex-Chief and the members of his beloved
family on the deep affection with which it has
pleased Divine Providence to visit them, and

orders all things for the best, and whose chas-
tisements are meant in mercy.
Resolved That this heartfelt testimonial
of sympathy and sorrow be forwarded to Ex-
Chief Engineer Lucas and his family, and pub
