freshed and able to enjoy SOM music in the even
ing. The ladies appeared to excel i'll the art of
hooking their prey, one catching a shark f%orty-twO
feet in length; the only thing one of the gentlemen
caught was a cold through a sudden and unex-
pected immersion in the deep blue briny. The
question is who was it
Yesterday morning as II. r. H. Princess Likelike
was sitting in her carriage in town and waiting for
her orders to be attended to, she allowed her eyes
to wander across the street when her attention was

not-been-to-bed clerk who was sitting perched on
his high official stool calmly sleeping the sleep of
the innocent, nodding his head and ignorant Of
waiting customers who stood around him amused

After a long and interesting article in a late San
Francisco paper describing the Home of the Inebri-
ates, the treatment of patients and how to affect a
cure, the final paragraph read
The fact remains, however, that there is moth
ing that will absolutely destroy the appetite for Ii
quor. Care can restore the patient to health,
treatment can take all the alcohol ont of his sys-
TEN and make of him almost a new person, and, as
has been said, in the great majority of the cases o
patients under 40 years Of age, the cure is perma-
nent. But then that cure is predicated in a great
measure upon the strength of the will power of the
cOnvalescents themselves to resist temptation"
1t seems strange that the sting of a mosquito
should affect some people differently from others
and that the little insect should be blamed for the
large Jumps raised on the bodies of tender citizens.
A lady who has an immense swelling on her hand
said . one mosquito got into my netting last night
and caused about twenty painful and disagreeable
swellings, such az this. 8" Now there is a certain
little animal called a bug which no one likes to be
accused of having in their houses, but which is
very prevalent in Honolulu, and shuns daylight,
making it difficult to prove its presence. 1t is not
easy either TO destroy him after he once takes pos
session of a place. May not the little bug have
been on the raid and done the mischief instead Of
the dear little mosquito whose pleasant and ever
welcome music at once proclaims a time Of rest
and peace, and who luIls us to sleep with his
charming melodies.
Mr.. H. S. Greeley, the late Manager Of the Ha-
waiian Hotel, has been posing to the reporter of
the S. F. Chronicle, as a speaker of public opinion
in this Kingdom, since his return to the Coast. He
says: 'All is serene at present in the social and
political affairs of the islands, although at one time
there came near being a riot over the coronation Of
King K~alakaua, about half of the natives contend
ing that the legitimate title to the throne was
vested in Queen Emma. But the difficulty was fl
nally compromised and Kalakaua was crowned, 10
the joy of Sir Claus Spreckels." Mr.. Greeley evil
