From the San Francisco Merchant we learn that
our townsman, Mr.. W. G. Irwin. has gone on a
short visit to the Atlantic Coast.
Drafts for salaries due are promptly paid at the
Treasury. What is the schoolmaster growing
about? Has not his salary been paid?
The city is full of leprosy.' This was a nice
statement for the pretentious organ of planters TO
How many visitors, and how much capital will
such statements attract to our shores?
A contemporary amuses his readers with an inn
aginary dialogue between Pilipo and the Premier.
The whole story is invention from beginning to
end, without a particle of foundation. Our contem-
porary, however, considers that a tissue of lies,
may sometimes answer a purpose better than the
truth.
The orsaa Of American Republicans in the ISL
anas, now happily converted to Democracy, says
that we g clear the fence with a bound" because
we express thu opinion that we have many
friends in the Democratic ranks We never said
anything to the contrary; but he and his set are
sadly exercised and feel considerably in the ''cold"

Our neighbor referring to a certain party SAYS:
HE can become a scandal to the community, and
the Premier can yet embrace him as a brother
He no doubt fully appreciates the Premier's all
embracing charity as he and a collaboration i'll
journalism have done things that were a scandal,

can extend to them the friendly nod and shake of
the hand.

Haiku - claims that the difference between
running ones self for the Legislature, or trying
TO run a friend in on ones account, is so great that
it is an instance of notable mendacity,' to rep
resent the one case as iii any way corresponding
with the other. And Haiku ;" says that if the
Haiku planter " had run on his own account he
would have got in. However we don't think that
the cakes and beer, and beef and the band, that
would not run his friend in, would have done
him any better service: The Haiku planter can
vassed the bellies of the Maui electors, but their
hearts rejected him and all such.
The San Francisco Merchant says that the Chron-
icLe cannot make up its mind whether sugar ought
to be dearer or cheaper in this market, so it assails
our retners for one cause and the Hawaiian plant
es for another. 1t is like the drunken Lancashire
fellow who, going home late, told his companions
he would lick his wife for wasting fire and candle
if he found her sitting up, and lick her for not
staying up if she had gone to bed.
From Maui we learn that Mrs. Edward Walsh
narrowly escaped serious injury while out riding
last week, through the carelessness of a Chinese
servant. The man had taken off the wheels of the

nuts The consequence was that the wheel came
!. off as soon as the carriage was started the horse
was frightened and ran with the vehicle thrown on

He is the sugar king of San Francisco and of
the islands, is an American of German descent,
and has shown himself to be a very shrewd AMI far
seeing man. 1t cannot be denied that III the way
of developing its resources he has done much for
the islands. In times of need he has brought to
the islands capital which otherwise would not have
fOunI it's waV there. but he has used this means tn
increase his hold ON the islands and establish his
sugar monopoly i'll San Francisco. lie has on the
Island of Maui the largest sugar plantation in the
world. He expects during the coming year to

The San Francisco He1cIuHt says that buying
our sugar in Manila or China. as before the Ha-
waiian treaty, means no business for our mechanics
nor our merchants, nor any of our local industries.
Reciprocity with Hawaii has made that kingdom a
better customer to California merchants, manu-
facturers, foundrymen, lumbermen, lime-burners,
b~rick-makers ~dairymen, farmers, stOck-raisers and
fifty other trades than any county i'll the State of
the same population. Reciprocity with Mexico
and Central America would be worth ten times
that which the Hawaiian treaty gives us. This
birthright of our people, the right of beneftting
by our ability or position, the Chronicle would sell
to Eastern sugar rehners for II mess of pottage.

Two of the most celebrated journalists i'll Cali
fornia died recently within 4 week, viz: Fred
erick MacCrellish, on the 31st of October, and

MacCrellish was the senior proprietor of the Alta
California, with which journal he had been con-
nected since 1854. As a journalist he sought to give
his paper the impress of his own ideas. He was
we'll known and highly esteemed in San Francisco.
with whose welfare and interests his labors were
always identified. His death will be as deeply re-
GREETED by the public, as it is lamented by his re-
latives and more immediate friends. He died of
of the lungs, from which disease he
had been a long sufferer. Mr.. Sim0nton died at
his home near Napa. He commenced his career as
a journalist by reporting for the american ReptJ-
IicaR. and afterwards went to Washington to re-
port for the Courier and Enquirer. He went to
California in 1850 to establish a paper, but not
being successful, he returned to the editorship of
the Courier and Enquirer. In the following year
the New York Times was founded by Mr.. Slmonton
and Mr.. Henry P. Raymond. Some time after
this, he was appointed editor of the San Francisco
Bulletin, and 1867 he was chosen manager of the
Press. His remains have been for
warded East for interment.
