A FINE picture of General Garfield
the well-known racing horse in now
on view in J. w. Robertson & Co. S
window. We notice the artist has
not studied any of the new instanta-
neous photographs of horses in
motion, but has represented him
with all four legs in the air at one
time. We believe the picture is the
property of Mr.. c. Macfarlane.
WE learn that Mr.. Cleghorn has
been given the care of Emma and
Thomas Squares, by the Minister
of the interior. 1t is high
time that some practical man took
charge of these places as in their
present state they are disgrace to
the town. The appropriations voted
for the purpose are $500 per annum
for Emma Square, and 81 800 per
annum for Thomas Square. Mr..
Cleghorn had charged of Emma
Square formerly, but two years and
half ago it was taken from him.
We are sure that he is the right man
in the right place.

is coasting vessel running between
Hakodate or some northern port of
Japan, loaded with dried fish or
some such cargo, bosnd for Toxic,
and having met with rough weather,

sells have no navigating charts or in
strumeuts beyond needle stuck
through piece of cork, which floats
it in u bowl of water. They sail
from point to point, along the coast,
the land and this simple form of
compass being their only guide. Any
sea fearing man will surely say that
barnacles, four inches long, cannot

age There can be little doubt
but that this junk was blown off

back as last years December gales,

they have probably eaten salt fish
from their cargo, and caught some

In answer to Mr.. Brooks inquiry
why the japanese were not asked to
write some letter, Capt. Purcell said
that the mate offered them II piece
of chalk with which to write on the

not to desire to, or did not under
stand what to do with it.

TIE DAYS D0TNGs.
MORNING.
The FREQ Organ Recital.

On Tuesday evening was brilli-
ant success all the sitting room was
occupied and many people took their
stand outside. The whole of the
programme was gone through excel
lently. but from the sacred character
OF the building applause was limited
to looks of pleasure. But the inter-
est excited may be judged when we
say that not sigu of WEAKNESS
crossed the faces of the audience,
and so many Of them remained quiet
in an atmosphere that was simply
sitting. The building does not
seem MS if its system of ventilation
was calculated to promote the COM
fort of large audiences.
And now for the programme.
Ploce 0uG DUNES, Miss Ponti dis.
tinguished herself by her usual vocal
ability. Each selection WIS render
ed with that facility and expression
which we were led TO expect from
her first appearance, and we have no
hesitation in prophesying that a
brilliant future awaits her if she
judiclousIy develops the strength
and maintains the purity Of her sing
ing. Mr.. Taylor's selections were
culled from a varied AMI brilliant
repertoire, and embraced specimens
of almost all kinds, from the severe
" classical to the light and spuril-
ing modern music; but all were
pleasing to the ear. The most inter
csting to the popular taste were,
Ba,istc's Communion in G, the
Carillons and the Flute Fantasia.
The fugue on the name OF Bach is
one of the most interesting to genu-
inc musicians that is known. 1t
may be explained, for the benefit Of
the general reader, that in German
music the note that we call b flat Is
called 10y them B, and the note we
rall b natural is called by them Ii.
So that Bach, hy Il little musical
play upon letters, produced a fugue
on his own name, by using the notes
we are accustomed to cali B Hat, a
natural, G natural, and b natural, or
in the German style, B--A-C--H.
The evenings entertainment clos
ed little after 8 AN. This recital
forms the first of the new series. and
We hope to hear others Of them at
reasonable intervals. Mr.. Taylor
and Miss Pont have reason to be
proud Of their success last night. for
to the true musician success is al
ways measured, not by money or
power, but by fame--thnt, is the
power Of attracting audiences. And
it may be fairly said that Tuesday
nights audience was one Of the most
brilliant ever known in Honolulu.

Perils of Pole Climbers.

A western telegraph pole climber tells
a stirring tale of the hardships endured
by men of his trade. They are often
forced to climb rotten poles, especially
in the rural districts. In one case, when
pole broke under him, he held on to
the cross-piece, and the wires let him
down gently to the ground. But per-
haps the greatest danger is from the
electricity, which sometimes knocks men
from the poles. In damp weather, es-
pecially, they are liabie to receive severe
shocks when they touch two wires at
once with different parts of their bodies.
The climber said: Il tell you it is afear-
full contract to undertake to fix broken
wire on wet day. / have seen some of
the boys kick and squirm on the cross
pieces, and yell so loudly that you would
think they had gone off into spasms. ]
have in my mind one man in particular
who came near breaking his neck. He
was what you call one of your smart
Alecks' It was damp, rainy day in
September when he went up to splice
wire. AS soon as he reached the first
cross-piece he thought he would make
the boys laugh by performing various
antics; SO he set astride one of the wires
near the pole. and caught hold of another.
The batteries attached at the ends OF
both wires We're heavily charged, and he
was so badly shocked that the men were
compelled to go up and take him
down. In fact, the shock almost killed
him.

Lieut.. Commander De Long.
A Bit of History About the Captain OF the
Jeanette.

A Bit of History About the Captain OF the
Jeannette.
A day or two ago Assistant District
Oakley called The Eagle representative
into his office, and fishing out an old
aecount-book from the lower drawer of
his desk, and turning over the leaves,
pointed to page on which was an ac-
count with George w. De Long, and his
receipt for weekly payments. ''There,"
said ssOur John,'' ''that was in 1861.
At that time George W. De Long was in
my law office, in New York, at salary
of So per week. He was bright, smart
boy, and I took a great liking to him.
He was crazy to enter the navy, and
saw the boys taste was very strong in
that direction. He attended the public
school in Greenwich street, and his
teacher gave most excellent account
of his studious character and bright
scholarship. About that time Ben Wood
was in congress, and appointed some lad
to the naval academy. | went to Mr..
Wood and obtained from him promise
that if he had the chance to make an
other appointment he would give it to
me. Wood was friend of mine, but
when he made the promise he had no
idea that he would have q chance to re-
deem it. A few months after De Long
came to my office one day in great ex-
citement, and said the young man Mr..
Wood had appointed had been obliged
to leave the naval academy because his
eyes had given out, and another APP
pointment would have to be made. He
begged me to see Wood at once. / went
to MIR. Wood and recalled the promise.
He remembered it, and, what was bet
ter still, redeemed it, although there
was great pressure brought to bear
upon him to appoint someone else. But
he gave the appointment to De Long
who went to Newport-whither the ma
val academy had been removed from
Baltimore, because of the war-and
passed with credit; but word came from
Washington not to admit Woods APP
pointee. He had made the appointment
a day or so too late, and as he was not
in accord with the administration they
took advantage of the technical mistake.
De Long came back from Newport the
picture of despair, but | hurried him to
Washington with letters of Introduction
to various persons, and he came back
with the appointment, the happiest
young fellow you ever saw. He entered
the naval academy and passed with
credit, and afterwards served on various
naval stations. His subsequent history
we all of course know. The little | did
for the boy was done because | saw the
young fellow had the right sort of stuff
in him, and would amount to something,
and the result shows l was not far out
of the way in my estimate of the lad
Brooklyn Eagle.

He is a man with light beaver over

top buggy, and all of sudden he stops
in the middle of the street and looks fix
edly at his horse. In two minutes fifty
people line the curbstone.

A man steps up to seize the bride
and start the horse, but the driver
shakes his head, and motions him
away
''I'I, bet he's an ugly brute.'
''Of course he is. Look at that wick
ed eye of his!''
The crowd has now been increased by
fifty, and several vehicles have stopped.
''Any body hurt?"

Four men stepped out to give advice,
but they are hastily motioned back, and
a livery stable man in the crowd OBJ
serves:
If that horse doesn't kill two or
three men here, Ishan be much mis-
taken.'
Three minutes more, and the crowd
numbers two hundred. The man with
the gray horse looks up and down the
street, braces his feet, takes a firm grip
on the lines. and softly says, Come,
