He thought the lady who was approaching
| was an acquaintance, and so as they APP
preached each other he CALAMITY raised his
hat; as he did so the lady's freezing glare

scratching his head were well meant, but
abortive.

The samples of building stone now on ex-
hibition at Messrs. w. G.. Irwin & Cos Of
| fee show that the laVas of the islands can
| be put to practical use other than the
| building Of rough, dry walls. The speci-
/ mems shown are nicely hevn into shape, and
| for sidewalks, curbs, edges to garden plots,
bases for fountains, garden vases, etc., the
material Is we'll adapted. One sample is
| from variety of lava that resists the action
| of fire to a wonderful extent, and will be
very useful in that respect.
| There seems to be some serious trouble
between the Manager of the Reciprocity

to sign note for $4,000. Now the Manager
advertises that the note was obtained under
| circumstances that render it void. The
| engineer sends US a communication, which
we publish, declaring himself to have always
been we'll treated by Dir. Unna. What that
gentleman has to do with the affair we can
not say.
By reference to our " By Authority -
column, it will be seen that Mr.. r. W.
Meyers has been appointed District Magis-
trate for the Island of Molokai. The ap-
pointment is judicious one, as Mr.. Meyers
is an old resident upon the island, and has
always taken an intelligent interest in the
affairs of the people. His new position will
be also advantageous to him in that it will
enable him to deal more directly and au
thoritively with the lepers who may bt
guilty of misdeeds.
