FROM LINGUISTIC TO PUCILISTIC.

In the good ancient days of
knight-errantry two old buffers en-
gagged in mortal combat over a dis
pute as to whether certain shield
was silver or gold. They looked at
the object from different sides, and,
as it was got up on the principles of
bimetalism, both were right and
both were wrong. This incident
had its counterpart in an occurrence
that happened yesterday near the
stone bridge out on the Palama
road. A party of Cinnamon, five
or six in number, travelling from
town, engaged in a dispute over the
proper Specification of a certain
English phrase. The wrangle be-
came very warm, it seemingly not
occurring to the disputants that,
while single word in their own
mother tongue is often capable of a
thousand meanings, there was d
possibility of strange tongue being
so ambiguous as to admit of two
different shades of meaning in a
phrase. At all events, the discus
sion waxed hotter and hotter, until
the leader upon one side of the
question entirely lost his self-con-
troll. He suddenly drew off and hit
the leader of the opposite side a
singing blow in the face. Then
there was war in Palama for the
space of two minutes. Blows were
exchanged with great celebrity, and
Chinaman pulled Chinaman about
the kings highway by the queue.
1t was indeed queuerious battle
Mongolians fighting tiercely for the
integrity of the leading Caucasian
vernacular. Not only, too, was it a
war about words, but largely a war
of words. Each combatant We'd
with the other in proving his superb
GRITTY in English erudition by hurl-
ing curses and bad names at him in
the language of Shakespeare. AT
length one of the belligerents,
weakening in the struggle, began tc
shout "EIaul in," and then theil
comrades, evidently considering
there was enough of Johnson, Web
ster, Worcester and Marquis OF
Queensbury for one day, interferet
and separated the valiant linguists
"Anglicizing the Chinese" is ap
parently keeping well up with thu
process of "Asiaticizing the Ha
waiian Kingdom" if the episode
above narrated is criterion.

IMPORTANT TO LIQUOR SELLERS.
A PROMINENT LIQUOR MERCHANT Is
SUED FOR $4,000 DAMAGES, BY
THE WIFE OF One OF HIS Gus
TONER'S.

A Hawaiian statute, the existence
of which is perhaps not generally
known, has just been made use of
by one of the class for whose pro-
lection it was provided. This morn
ing Mrs. Frances L. Jackson swore
out complaint before Mr.. William
Foster, Clerk of the Supreme Court,
against j. H. Lovejoy, and petit
toned His Honor Chief Justice Judd
to cite him before the said Court, to
answer in suit for 800 actual
and exemplary damages. Com
plainant alleges that defendant has,
within eight months last past, I'M
lawfully, by selling and giving to
Andrew p. Jackson, her husband,
spirituous and Intoxicating liquors,
deprived her of proper and adequate
means of support, her husband being
at times incapacitated from work
and his property and means being
spent to purchase liquor of the de-
PENDANT; and, further, that she has
suffered great distress of body and
mind by reason of the acts of the
defendant-in person and property
and means to the amount aforesaid,
in contravention of her private rights
under the laws.
In pursuance of this complaint
and petition the Chief Justice has
issued a summons to j. ii. Loveioy
to appear and answer to the charge
at the October term of the Supreme
Court. The papers were to have
been served upon the defendant
this afternoon.

A CHINESE express carriage, No.
1T, collided with Wilder's coal cart
yesterday afternoon on Fort street
near the Custom House and the re-
suit was disastrous for the China
man. Both shafts of the carriage
were broken and the harness totally
demolished. The carriage horse
became free of it's leathern bonds
and bolted for uptown. There were
three Chinese passengers in the ex-
press at the time of the collision, and
they vacated the vehicle with celes-
tial agility. Each driver claims
that the other was to blame, but the
coal cart being heavily loaded should
have had the right of way.

IT is satisfactory to learn that the
trees on the top of Punchbowl have
not been wantonly cut down by any
one. The circumstance which gave
rise to the statement published in the
DAILY BULLETIN on Monday was the
removal and cutting up of some trees
and parts of trees which had been
broken down during the great gale
that did so much similar mischief
lately round Honolulu. This removal
was made on the authority of His
Majesty the King.
