ABOUT eight o'clock pm, on Tuesday the long
looked for comet was seen by Mr.. George W. Macfar-
lane, by the aid of a telescope of four-inch aperture.
The comet was seen near the western horizon, not
very far from the planet Venus, but preceding it.
The tail was conspicuous. Mr.. Macfarlane's glass
is a very fine one purchased by him in London. 1t
was originally made specially for the use of a
scientific gentleman.
ANATIvE boy named Mekia, about sixteen years
of age, was arrested last night while in the act of
endeavoring to get into the ~dormitary at the Hawai-
hao Female Seminary. He was given in charge by
the Lady superintendent and will have a chance,
to-day, of explaining his reasons for such improper
conduct. Several similar attempts have been made
lately and frustrated, but this is the first time the
offender has been caught.
FROM information received by the Police, they
searched a Chinese wash house, just behind the
Government buildings, in Queen street, and found
eleven tins Of opium. They kept an eye on the
party suspected and arrested him as he was coming
from the steamer Suez, last evening, and found
on him six small tins. tie turned out to be the
chief cook of the steamer-a Chinaman-who con-
fessed to having brought ashore the other eleven
tins.
THERE was a good attendance at the special
meeting of the Guild of ST. Andrew, held on Thurs
day evening. After devotional exercises, an address
to the Warden. Rev. T. Blackburn. B.A., and Mrs.
Blackburn, drafted at the request of a committee
of the Guild by Mr.. L. Rain Walker, was approved,
and it was arranged that there should be a social
meeting of the Guild before the Rev. Warden
leaves Honolulu, and that the ladies' branch of the
Guild should be invited to join it. The date of
the meeting was fixed for Thursday, July 6.
A CHINAMAN, who gave the name of All Sing, was
arrested on Thursday afternoon in the Fish Market
for stealing money, Some one standing by saw
him grab a pile of coins from one of the stalls,
When searched but one dollar was found in his
pocket, but during the operation four others,
which had apparently been in his pants, fell down
to the ground. No more could be found, although
more was believed to be missing. When, however,
he answered the inquiries as TO his name, ETC.,
made at the station house. something peculiar in
his style of speech was noticed, and a little gentle
compulsion caused the production of q gold So
piece from the back Of his mouth.
THERE was quite a large increase in the attend
ance at the Fort Street Church Revival Service
last night. Several new gospel songs were sung.
Mrs. A. F. Judd sang as a solo, q Out of the Ark"
DR.. Damon led the audience in prayer. Rev. n.
". Lane, Md, of Seattle, w. r., made an adj
dress founded on the first chapter of Nehemiah,
in which he emphasized the necessity Of earnest
ness, sterling manhood, and a thorough prepare
ton for life and death. Prominence was also
given to the need Of united effort and a courageous
meeting of opposition. Mr.. Hallenbeck followed
in a brief exhOrtatiOn. The after-meeting was
quite large, and very interesting. Tonight Mr..
Hsllenbeck will speak, taking for his theme, Good
Tidings."
All SING, who made the attempt to smuggle
opium into the Kingdom by the Lady Lampson,
was convicted on Thursday of the offence, and fined
$500 with nine months Imprisonment at hard Ia
Dor. Mr.. Morrill, gave evidence that when he
searched the Lady LampsOn for opium on the
morning of the goth instant, lie found a box of it
under q pile Of coal near a bulk head. This con-
tanned % tins. He then arrested defendant and
another, and continuing his search found another
box with 60 tins in it. The first lot was just under
defendants trunk. As to the subsequent discovery
of 100 tins in the forepeak it seems that All Sing
tried to bride the turnkey at the Station House, All
Kiona, TO get It off the vessel and sell it for him so
that he might be able to employ counsel. Mr..
DAYTON gave evidence that defendant had told him
that no one else on the ship or down here was in
terested in this smuggling. He and some others
put the money together and he was to bring the
opium down and divide the results with them. In
the case of the other man arrested in this affair 1
mol. pros. was entered.
