GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA.

1f's distinguished Journalist, who.
has written for one paper alone,
1000 editorial articles, spent over
three hours in this city yesterday.
1t was known when the Alameda
arrived that he was on board the
Australia. A committee from the
Representatives of the press in Homo
lulu should have welcomed him, but
when the BULLETIN reporter went to
the wharf he was surprised to find
only one editor present. The steamer
was nearing the wharf, but long
before it got up this lonely-looking
editor jumped into n boat, followed
by the reporter. A glance at the
upper deck being made, sure enough,
there was Mr.. Sala, wearing his toilet
trade mark-a white waistcoat.
Three minutes more and we were
alongside the great writer, grasping
him by the hand and extending an
aloha. He expressed himself de-
lighted with what he had already
seen of the Islands from the vessel.
On being asked whether he intended
to stay over, he replied, it was i'm
possible, as he had to meet his wife
in Melbourne Oh certain day, and
as she ruled the roost he must be
there. The pictures we have seen of
him are pretty correct. He has
somewhat of ruddy face and nose,
showing that his attention to cookery
has not been lost on him. Mr.. Sala
is a very entertaining conversation
alist, full of anecdote and prolific in
striking remarks, and soon makes
you feel quite at ease in his pre-
sence. The steamer was now along
side the wharf and other journalists
were quickly on board to welcome
him. He brought with him presents
and letters to His Majesty the King
and III. M. Queen Emma from the
Baroness Burdett Coutts. Mr.. Sala
was first taken to the Palace where,
in the absence of Major Purvis, Vice.
Chamberlain, he was conducted into
the presence of His Majesty by the
Adjutant of the Household. He
was delighted with his short visit,
and thought His Majesty very enter
tanning and well-read. Mr.. Sala had
previously met the King at dinner
in London. The residence of II. M.
Queen Emma was next visited, where
he simply left his commissions and
card, not seeing Her Majesty. After
satisfying wish of his to have 9
branch of the Bouganvillia vine, he
was next driven to the vicinities oi
the Chinese Theatre, Oahu Prison
and the Fish Market. At the lattel
place he aljghted and inspected ths

Professor Agassiz's lecture upon
the modern theory of coral reefs
will be given at the Y. M. G. A.
Hall on Friday evening. The pro-
fessor's investigations in these
Islands during his present visit will
enable him to speak with confidence
upon the origin and comparative
size of the group, and upon the pro-
bable manner of the introduction of
vegetable and animal life. We
understand that in spite of the
weightyauthority of the Genealogical
Report to the Legislature, he is
unable to support the theory of q
sunken continent.

The EGYPTIAN MAHDi.

The Mahdi is really a dervish who
processes to be a prophet; a being
directly inspired by God and com
manded by him to chase the infidel
out of Egypt. He sends his emissa-
ries in bands of half dozen each
all over the country and these ENJOYS
excite the people to make war on
the foreigner. Wherever there are
Bedouins there also are the Mahdi's S
soldiers: that is to say, the natives
form the Mahdi's army, and will
continue to do so rs long as Allah
seems to fight on his side.-Con'-

finished work, that could be done
just as good and probably as cheap
here, now that everything is down to
bedrock. This is not the first
or second time this has occurred.
When the gentleman in question
built his paIatial residence at Puma
hou, nearly everything was imported
finished. The only reason why the
house was not sent whole from San
Francisco was because he could not
get packing case large enough.
Next they want sign for their mer-
camille house, corner Fort and
Queen Streets: it comes from San
Francisco all ready for fixing. The
wonder is they did not send the
building to San Francisco and have
it affixed there. We next come to
the bank and offices on Fort Street.
Everything that could be brought in
II finished state from San Francisco
was brought, including the fittings
for the bank. Truly the gentleman
must have magician's wand to
make everything appear upon the
scene ready to look at. What makes
the matter more aggravating is the
fact that during the last month or
two, 80 percent or more of the car
pcntcrs of Honolulu have been walk
ing the street with nothing to do. |

there is actual distress. | think the
mechanics as u whole should protest
against this sort of thing. If some
of our leading men would go on with
work these dull times, not shut
down (Which has been done in one
notable case), it would help great
many over the stie. Asyou suggested

now they would get value for theil
money, apart from the duty tho

is not right that the few who have
had the opportunity to accumulate
should hoard what they have got

SPORTING NOTES.
BEACH AGAIN DEFEATS HANLAN, AND
OXFORD DEFEATS CAMBRIDGE.

In the sculling match at Sydney,
n. S. W., March 2Sth, between
IIanlan and Beach the latter won by
six lengths. The race was rowed
over the champions course on the
Palramatta river. The attendance
was enormous, the weather favor
able and the water smooth. Both
the oarsmen were in excellent con-
dition. Hanlan and Beach, after
the start, kept well together for
some distance. The race was close
and exciting and the scullers ap-
preached the turning-post almost
bow and bow. The excitement
among the spectators was great
when pulling with all their strength
for the winning post Beach over
hauled Hanlan and increased his
advantage until the very finish amid
the widest excitement.
The University boat race between
Cambridge and Oxford came off
March 2Sth, on the River Thames,
England. The river banks were
lined with spectators, the water was
smooth and the conditions favored
the Oxford crew. Both got off well
together, but Oxford soon took the
lead and maintained it to the end,
winning by three lengths. The
time of the race was 21.36, a trifling
Improvement over the time one year
ago, when the record was 21.39.
The improvement is not as great as
was anticipated in view of the finer
weather and smoother water.

SYSTEMATIC COLONIZATION.

1t is with pleasure we find that
the discussion recently held in these
columns and elsewhere, upon the
subject of settling the land. has not
been without measure of effect.
A joint-stock company, to undertake
the settlement of available lands on
this Island. has actually been a sub
iect of consultation among several
capitalists. One of them is even
enthusiastic over the proposed un-
dertaking, but, being u gentleman
of some practical knowledge of the
soil and its capabilities, is not likely
to be carried away by any notions of
visionary character. 1t is to be
hoped the matter will not end for
the time in street talk, but that it
will be treated as the important con-
Germ that it is. There is really
nothing more conspicuously lacking
to Honolulu than a thrifty popula-
ton of producers at the back Of it,.
Enough land fit for settlement, we
are assured. is available on this
Island alone. to sustain Il great many
people of the needed class. An
active beginning in the good work
cannot be too soon begun. First let
there be thorough discussion, then
organization. and next well-deliber-
ated methods. One of the very first
aims must be to get the most desira'
BILE Settlers. for results must depend
upon them as much rs upon condi
tions of soil. Failure of initia
efforts in the advocated projcc
would be apt to be far-reaching il
evil results, while success might b
revelation to all the estates of tn
realm, containing the sure promis
of prosperous national future.

world. AS he entered the Office he
noticed q smile go around the room,
but no one offered to explain the
cause. In a few minutes the city
editor sent for him.
"Did you do that Farmers Club
meeting yesterday" he asked.
81 did," replied the future hu-
morist.
"What did you do with your re-
port?"
II sent it upstairs through that
hole in the wall the same rs you did
yesterday"
"The dickens you did !" replied
the city editor wrathily. "Well,
you have played thunder. You go
downstairs. Mr.. Greeley wants to
see YOU"
Downstairs Mr.. Huntley went,
his good spirits all departed and his
heart in his mouth. He knocked at
the door of Mr. Greeley's den and
in response to shrill "Come in and
shut the door after you," he entered
the dingv room. Mr.. Greeley was
writing. He finished his sentence,
wheeled around in his chair, faced
the young reporter and remarked in
his high, quavering voice, "Well,
sir, what do you want?"
"You sent for me, sir"
'I?"
"Yes, sir, that is what the city
editor said.'
"What's your name?"
"Huntley."
"Oh! SO you are the Internal
idiot who wrote the account of the
Farmers Club, are you?'
If he had hit Huntley on the head
with his paste-pot he couldn't have
surprised him more. His speech
utterly forsook him.
"You attended that meeting, did
you?"

"Well, what did you do with yorll

"Didn't you know any better thar
that?"

night before" "
"You and the city editor are botl
fools. What did you write such {
report for? Tell me that?'
"Why, they did just what | sai'
they did, and none Of them know
enough to blow hot soup
"Young man, you shouldn't hav
said what you did," continued tn
great editor, more in sorrow than il
anger. 81 am the president of tina

means. He remained on the stat
for several months. and became on

SpOOPENDYKE.

sMr. Stanley Huntley, who is the
real author of these famous humor-
Gus papers, is a thin, delicate man,
with an intelligent face and n nerv-
Gus, incisive way of talking and act
ing. He is the exact opposite of
Mr.. Spoopendyke, his famous cha
racter. Mr.. Huntley is nearly 40
years old, and began his journalistic
work on the New York Tribune
under Horace Greeley. The second
day he had been on the paper he was
sent to report meeting of the
Farmers Club, which convened in
Cooper Institute. He did so, and
brought down to the Office that
evening racy account of the affair,
which, by the way, was exceedingly
lively. In the course of his story
he managed to call the venerable
body ga lot of dunderheads," and
other choice names. AS he had seen
the city editor send his copy up
stairs to the composing-room the
day before through hole in the
wall, which led to a small elevator,
he poked his manuscript through
the same hole when he had finished
the account, and went home with
the consciousness of having done
his whole duty, and done it we'll.
The next morning he found his
story on the first page Of the paper
under several bold, black headlines,
and he went down to the Office very

"If the State administration had

and sought to restore confidence between

Federal interference been unthought of,
and harmony, friendship and mutual
confidence would have taken the place

Triumph at Terry.

On Thursday, October s, a petition
fer retailing liquor was defeated at
Terry. This was quite triumph for
the temperance people as the applicant
for license was a large merchant, and
one of the most influential persons in
the community. He and his friends
used every effort to succeed, but the
anti-whisky people routed them and won
the field. They are to be congratulated
upon their victory, as they labored dill
gently to secure it. One by one the
man-frans fall
