thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
A presentation of a goblet was made TO Mr..

personalities of all nations, SO that as a matter OF
course, the Fourth being still fresh n their memo

The Japanese man-of-war Rinjio arrived IN this
port Tuesday, 43 days from Callao. She is a fine
vessel, made after a modern pattern and we'll
equipped. She does not appear at all like the
pictures We have seen, of ordinary japanese ships, |
but rather resembles in exterior form the German
vessel Leipzig, which visited this port not long
ago. A number of the men on board the Rinjio
are afflicted with a disease, which was contracted
at sea, and which is a kind OF scurTy. |

also for the best interests of the public, which
must depend upon their promptitude, union and
strength in case of ire.

In the interior of the nsw saloon, opened
Wednesday by Captain Nordberg, the proprietor,
on the corner of Nuuanu and King streets, Mr.,
