JACK ashore - is a proverbially happy fellow.
People are sure to look for . fun alive F" when they
see a group of seamen rolling up the street for a
days run. Nor are they often disappointed.
Whether they elect to charter a craft on wheels to
take them on Il cruise to Waikiki; or up the valley,
or cast anchor alongside some c%ongenial spirits i'll
bar-rooms and saloons, or start on a "jamberee ="
around town, they are sure to have u good time.
Of course they can get into all - argument" some
times, and settle it up "ship-shape and man
fashion" with a few blows, but upon the whole
they do very little harm, and have a heap of fun.
The most sport perhaps, is found in a short
voyage on horseback. Jacks his own captain then,
and all he asks is - wet sheet and a fair wind, -
and he will log ten knots every hour, even if he
does get thrown on his beam-ends and have to be
towed back into port. It's worth something to
hear q genuine Jack tar roar out a ballad or two
for the amusement of his mates. 1t makes no
difference whether he can sing or not, he will give
you the best he's got, and be cheered by a chorus
twice as long as the song itself and three times as
noisy. He generally manages to steer clear of the
statiOn-house, and is ready to go aboard when his
liberty is up.

He was too drunk 20 drive and had no lights. A
policeman took possession of horse, cart, and man,
and whilst he was driving them to the station
house the cart was run into by an expressman, who
was driving some ladies to church. Fortunately
the damage was confined to one of the springs of
the cart-the ladies only got a good fright.

An attempt was made on last Saturday night to
/set fire TO the premises occupied by Captain Norl-
/berg on Liliha street. The captain was awakened
by his wife who told him that some one was trying
to get into the house. He ran to the window on
the windward side of the house, and smelt the
found, but the noise heard indicated that some one
had been trying TO force open the locked gate i'll
the lattice work. Whoever il was heard the people
moving in the house and left. II is evident from the
fact that within three weeks Captain NOrdberg
has had a valuable COW and horse poisoned, that
some one is working against him very maliciously.
This last attempt has induced the captain to try
TO get a house in SOME oruor quarter of the city
where there Is more protection to be had from the
street.

\ FRIEND brought an alligator pear into the
sanctum on Tuesday, and remarked, as he laid it on
the table, that the Hilo crop was remarkably poor
this year as regards size. This may be so; but we
are inclined to believe that what is lacking in
quantity is made up in quality. We have tasted
the specimen left with us as a matter of course; for
il Is a well-knOwn fact that conscientious editors
and druggists always taste everything brought into
their offices, and we think that the ''Old Brown
Windsor flavor predominates over the common
yellow Bar soapy taste and texture of the fruit
in ordinary years. Then, too, The leathery skin is
thicker, and the inedible nut larger in proportion
TO the soft portion lying between the two, than
usual: and So, considering all these points of excel.
lence. We can hardly say that we agree with our
friend i'm nrnnomncing this wears crop inferior.
