The many friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. d.
Strong will be glad to hear OF the great sue
cess Of Mr.. Strong's sister who wen, to Paris
several years ago to continue her ar, studies.
The following is taken from the French cor
respondent Of an Eastern paper " |, is Of an
Western girl. Miss Strong, Of San Francisco.
She came out here few years ago, and
entered the studio Of Van Marcke, the cattle
painter, and the greatest living master in that
line, her forte being the representation Of
animals, She studied hard and faithfully, and
last year she sent her first contribution to the
''Salon." 1t was study OF a large dog, lifs.sre,
and, though licking in finish, the general cs-
celence OF the work and the evidence of talent
that Is displayed caused the kindly and cour
teous colonel to interest himself warmly in the
young painter, and moved, too, the jury in her
behalf. At all events the picture was accepted
and was hailed as a work full Of promise. Van
Marcke himself shows the deepes, interest in
his gifted young pupil, and has counseled her
to paint sheep and cattle instead Of dogs, as the
former subjects afford wider scope for talent.
The young student has now gone To live in the
county, to study her new models from the
life, and, Il the half that | hear Of her talent be
correct, America may have given to the world
the true successor to Rosa Bonhcur. Van
Marcke thinks so highly Of Miss s,Iong's talent
that he has positively forbidden her to pain
any pictures Tor sale as yet, desiring to train
her hand and eye to the highest point Of arts
tic excellence before she gives any of her SorI

The biennial report Of the attorney general
is at hand. The rhetorical display Of the docu.
ment is something remarkable, and is fully H.
lustrated with the following English;
Sentence from page 4 1.-The well-known
and numerically few exceptions Of Chinese in
telligent, gifted who are without prejudice OF
hatred to other nations now among you and
constituting OF a small and respected portion
OF this community make the truth that a
rule they are undesirable residents, more strik.
ing Now this reminds one Of tina, other
sentence quoted by Mark Twain in his laugh
able preface to a Portuguese and English
guide to conversation; "We expect then,
who the little book flor the care what we
wrote him, and for her typographical correc-
ton that may be worth the acceptance of the
studious persons, and especially Of the youth,
at which we dedicate him particularly" 1t is
not to be inferred from this comparison thai
the attorney. generals English is worse thar
his report, but that both have done clever
man gross injustice. Mr. Neumann ought IL
read his proof more carefully God save the
King IONA.

Honolulu, May 20, 1854.

The races Of last Saturday have created con
siderable talk during the week, not a, all com
mendable to those who managed the affair.
The opinion prevails that there was something
radically wrong somewhere, which interested
parties are responsible for. OF course express
sions OF disapproval from those who lost their
money on the race are of less value than those
coming from unabiased sources but in this
case the opinion obtains generally that the
whole thing was put.up job. The action OF
the Hawaiian Jockey Club in the matter since
the race relieves it from censure. and places its
officers beyond suspicion. The club has acted
wisely in suspending Mr.. Billy Ioran Tor three
months and ruling his horse off the track.
The individual members of the club talk freely
on the matter, and all that have talked WITH
or whose opinions l know, unite in stating
that the horse, George Treat, was pulled, F"
and would have taken the race if he had been
properly driven. Other men, both in and out
Of the jockey club, have told me that Billy
Iioran has since admitted before witnesses
that he could have shut the other horse out il
he had wished that he was told to let the first
heat go, etc. This all seems very strange
when one considers that Mr.. Horan is the
reputcd owner of the horse George Treat, and,
] in fact, holds a bill Of sale for him. The
jockey club has taken this view Of the matter,
and after a hearing on Wednesday morning
last, at which Mr.. Hoan was invited to eN-
plain. it took summary action, which, it is to
be hoped, will be a warning to those VINO
attempt to violate the track rules and impose
on the public in the future.

The commercial interests ct the Hawaiian
Islands, and especially Of Honolulu, have Of late
SO increased in importance that the periodic
publication Of directory has become necessary.
The work this year has fallen into good hands,
as the arrival by the last steamer OF Mckcnney's
Hawaiian Directory Tor the years 81 shows.
The new Directory is great improvement OF
the last one published. It forms neat and
thstefully gotten up volume Of about 400 pages,
substantially bound in boards, besides the al
phabctically arranged lists OF the inhabitants
Of the islands and much information OF interest

handbook " The advertisements are numerous,
and are printed upon tinted paper and card

give the volume an attractive appearance.
However, in turning over the pages both
typographical and editorial blemiShes appear
which mar, to some extent, the quality ana
symmetry of the work We are told, for in.
stance. on page 3s4, that W. II. Rice
owns, among other things, "iS mules

missioner and is fully conyersant with the
details of the Office. He has been large
" instrumental during his term of office

ferred to the Lincoln p~enitentiary at forty
cents per day. 1t has gone into history
hat he had some trouble in accomplishing
this on account of judicial interference,
by a judge now out of office.
This is the first time that the commits
missioners have been required to file a
bond, which by law has been fixed at 81

Miscegenation is something alike dis
tasteful to the whites and blacks of our
city, yet there is apparently the worst kind

afternoon they kicked up a lively fracas
between themselves on Eighteenth, the

woman was cut in three places by the man

were cut in her ebony face, her arm and
her wrist. The wounds, though serious,
are not fatal. A local surgeon dressed
them, but the woman was. very r~eticent

The rarest of all western wild game is
the Rocky mountain wild goat. Their
range is confined to our sister territory OF
Idaho. But three pair of the young have
been captured alive since pioneer times.
The last pair were taken last June by
Jack Delyard, an Idaho guide and hunter,
and purchased from him by G. L. Taylor,
of our city. They arrived by express, in
excellent condition, last evening, and may
be seen this morning until 9 o'clock at the
Inter-Ocean hotel. Mr.. I. will forward
them tomorrow to R. U. Soulde, esq.

the best stocked private parks in the east.

In the great storm of week before last,
Nh. G. 7. Seabury made a long trip and
when within five miles from his ranch he
became blinded with the fast beating
10 which was continuously hurled in
his face. Loosing control of the reins of
his team, the animals darted away, throw
ing him suddenly out upon the ground.
Fortunately, a gentleman who was riding
with him at the time of the mishap and
who did not fare SO badly, succeeded in
stopping the horses, and going back,
found Mr.. Seabury totally blind, beside
somewhat bruised, He was removed to
his home and carefully nursed, but for
nine days he remained blind. He has
o recovered his eye-sight and will soon
be around. His face was also badly bis
tered. In his misfortune, he has the
sympathy of his many friends, and they
all rejoice to receive the assurance that his
complete recovery is nigh at hand.

Regarding the speedy completion of the
Denver & New Orleans railway, at the
recent meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce in the first named city, Mr.. Jacob
Scherer, president of the Colorado Cattle
Growers association, said:
know if this road were completed to-
day that there would probably be POO, 900
head of cattle shipped from Texas to Col
orado and Wyoming this year. The cattle
men of Texas, Colorado and Wyoming
have been for six weeks working with the
different railroads to get rates to ship
round by Kansas City, Union Pacific and
Burlington & Missouri. So far, | am
sorry to say, we have not been able to
accomplish any rates hat are satisfactory.
If this road were made we could afford to
ship them a good deal better than we can
drive them, and the way the thing is turn
ing now, it is going to be difficult to drive.
They are making Instructions in the trails,
which will make it very difficult. If we
had a straight road from there to Denver
they would all be shipped, and | do say
and believe that 200, 900 head would be
shipped this season if the road was built.
