No impositi6S should be intlicL-
ed in the way OF nsgIeeting the
denomination of the coins which King
Kalakaua, of the Sandwich Islands, is
having made in this country. Being not
altos ether initiated in tho use of his own
money, the king, laboring under the

THE vivacious Parisians, among whom
everything relating to Franco seem te
occur, are nothing without pleasure. The
facts that the third republic stands On &
