The Fort-street merchant who STUN
bled and put a story out of joint which
he was telling, is reported to be in a
better mood to-day. His friends are
seriously of moving into the
country if he RECEIVERS his usual lin
quistic health.
The watermelon crop in the vicinity
of Waikiki is reported as being disposed
to charge position during the night If
the Cinnamon who own the melons
catch the fellows who hold them up
during the transformation scene, they
will likely to be handed little salt and
pepper from the end of shot gun.
A curious little fish was caught at
Waikiki last Sunday by some parties
spending the day there. The fish was
caught in net. 1t was about an inch
and half long and half an inch wide
and was almost block shaped. 1t had
a small tail like rats and two little
horns over its jet black eyes. The
color of the fish was of a transparent
white with blue spots under the scales.
1t was a lively little creature and would
almost jump out of the bucket when
touched. 1t has since been killed and
preserved in spirits.
Two school boys, engaged in rather
dangerous sort of sport yesterday
evening on Nuuanu street about three
o'clock. They we're both riding horses
on opposite sides of the road and held
line across the street They then
galloped down Nuuanu street trying to
catch loose horse with the rope. AS
the street was full of school children,
coming from St. Adams College, one
two of these narrowly escaped being
run over by the horse the boys were
chasing. A little of this sort of fun
goes a very long way.
Some men snore and some N0re.
There is man who lives in the vicinity
of Vineyard street, who does the little
base act in such a manner that the
cats Of the neighborhood have organ
lied to protect their ancient rights in
the way of strange, weird night-noses.
After a thorough tuning up of his
understanding" bassoon, which usually
takes place about 10 o'clock every
evening, there is no more peace in the
Silly, starry, bushes Of the voluptuous
night. The neighbors can all testify
these nightly visitations of chronic
nose-trumpeting do often shake the
very fences-nay, the solid base upon
which rests his obese rotundity-until
the very dogs do flee the block where
he sleeps and SHORES and SHORES and
sleeps.
1t was quite little joke that dele
cation was appointed to take several
gay banners to the royal party while
they were on the other islands on the
occasion of the birthday of Princess
Kaulani The delegation, headed by
Col. Judd, went up, but they did
things in the usual Government style,
and did not find out urtil they arrived
that they had left the gay, silken
banners at the Palace in Honolulu. 1t
was sore disappointment to the royal
maiden as well as it was to the portion
of the Government left at home when
it had to fire up the steam tug and
send the gay, forgotten, hushed and
silken banners out to meet the W. q.
Hall when she brought the party home.
Otherwise the banners would not have
been at mast heads huttering gaily
when the powder was blown seward
from the Kings battery. o my
They say that the afternoons are
safest orloversin some instances; that the
person who discovered this fact was moi
in the habit Of going home before din
ner; that the coming political event viii
be argued in the newspapers by those
who know the least about it; that the
royal party came back from Maui feel

method of coming to terms with the
man who has the advantage Of you is
by reminding him that you are the big
est that seventy-five dollars were
blown into the sweet mah0be yesterday
afternoon when the W. e. Hal
arrived; that the sweetest thing in life
is the forgetting of sorrow; that the
talk about the Casino opening is al
bosh; that the gentle dreamer of For
street sometimes hides bank notes ii
her jetty tresses; that the circus vii
not go to the other islands; that a new
phase of the Chinese question vii
be given the public in due time wher
statistics are ready; that the last rose
of summer before last is still in bloom
that somebody will get her eyes oper
if somebody else doesn't look out
that the people who frequent Thoma
Square do not want it turned into
fair ground; that the reason for this i
very simple one; and that thu
coming of events will cast politica

The Circus last night was full 0
