Yesterday afternoon one of the
English man-of-war's-men hired a
horse to see and enjoy the sights of the
town. He was seen by a passer com
ing along Hotel street, trying to induce
his fiery steed to go, and was asked,
"What is the trouble1" He immedi-
ately replied. "The old blooming
bloody luggar of an old 'orse won't go.
A half dozen native children were
engaged yesterday on Merchant street
playing Smuggling opium" 1t seems
to be catching. These youngsters were
playing" that one yard was the sea
and that the next one to it was Homo
lulu. The merry smugglers we're get
ting the best of it at last advices.
Moral: The child is father OF the man..
At the lecture on General Grant,
given Monday evening, September
aSth, delivered by Major Dane at the
". M. c. A. Hall, the avails, after de-
Quoting actual expences were one hun
dred and three dollars and seventy five
cents, which is to be divided equally
between the two organizations before
mentioned. Many thanks to Major
Dane.
1t was rlmored on the street yester-
day that as there was no more money to
to pay the band boys with, there will
be no more note blowing for some
time to come. 1t is pity if it turns
out that "paternal Government can
not even afford to pay for its own am
usements--but then it does its own
blowing to be sure, as almost every
body else does.
If the young gentlemen who pulled
pistols on each other the night before
last on Beretania street will be consid-
crate enough to use them the next
time they get mad, they will do the
community in general great favor
provided always that they shoot
straight. By the way, how is the law
about irresponsible persons carrying
deadly weapons
An old native relic was found in the
Waianae Mountains a few weeks ago.
1t is made of smooth, polished store,
is about fourteen inches long, round,
and tapering from the centre to both
ends. What it was used for and what
age it belongs to are merely con
jectured. The gentleman who found
it will probably place it in the Gov
eminent museum.
1t is reported that Mr.. Jim Sherwood
who drives the Waikiki bus has de,
cided to get large patent mouthpiece
for his fish horn, SO that he will be able
to wake people up three blocks away,
instead of one as at present. 1t is
further reported that this designing bus
man intends to build monument to his
cheek, in the memories of the people
by asking for donations to said paten,
mouthpiece.
The Board of Health has lately been
engaged in fixing water pipe which
was making swamp back of the store
of Goo Kim. The Board of Health
has done all it could in this instance
with the limited funds at its disposal
by turning this filthy waste into small
water.closet vault back of the store o.
Mr.. T. G. Thrum. The next move o.
the property owners will probably be tc
have this new nuisance abated.
Last evening about seven o'clock q
hack driven by Chinaman ran into
the stone parapet of the first Nuuanu
street bridge. The hack contained two
native women and child. When il
struck the parapet it was careened and
the child was thrown to the ground ano
received several severe bruises about
the head. Instead of helping the

his hack. The child was picked up by
a passer and the women took it away
Since Mr.. Henry Hart has re6tted
the Elite Ice Cream Parlors on Hote
street and has succeeded, by importing
a first class confectioner from San Fran
cisco, in improving the grade OF Homo
lulu creams and iced drinks, his trade
has so materially increased that almost
every evening right merry crowd O
young people may be seen enjoying
themselves behind his doors. One o.
the neatest things in the new parlors i:
the unique automatic soda fountain. Il
is real treat to ye tired and thirsty
scribes to drop into Henry's about
eleven p NJ, and fill up on dish OF
two of mixed ice creams.
They say that the sharks seen II
