Three festive young men OF Homo,
lulu started out day before yesterday
morning to explore the hills in the vici
nifty of Kapena falls; while sit
ting and viewing the scenery, ram
pant bull suddenly approached them
from behind and they barely saved the
expense Of buying new clothes, and
propably saved from serious injury by
the bull hesitating as to which one he
would attack.
OF interest in connestion with the dis
establishment controversy in England is
the estimate that the settled revenues
of the ordained servants of the establish
ment are about 10000, 900 per an
mum. If disendowment we're to be
conducted with the basis, as in the case
of the Irish Church, it is computed
that between life incomes, private en-
dowments, and the value of fabrics and
advowsons, something like 5oo,ooo,-
900 would have to be given to the
ministers, members, and patrons of the
Church of England.
The Lnso HaWaiiano, No. IL,
came out punctually this morning on its
regular time with interesting
news, both foreign and local. 1t also
contains the list Of Portuguese letters
remaining in the General Post Office,
and several noticeable letters from the
other Islands, prominent among which
there is one written by man in
Hamakua, thanking Messrs. Renton
and Ross managers of the plantation,
for the extreme good care taken OF
him, when suffering from an accident
to his eyes. The fenilleton is made
out, this time, of some very
pretty poetry.
Complaints are being made by diff
ferent parties that people are again
tying their horses to the fences on
Nuuanu and other streets, thereby
blocking up the sidewalks. Yesterday
evening complaint was made at this
office by gentleman and lady who
were forced to take to the street
to get around horse and buggy which
some thoughtless or Indifferent citizen
had tied across the sidewalk in
front Of the Temperance Hotel This
nuisance Of tying horses across the
sidewalk has become almost as much
of custom as fast driving; both ought
to be stopped by the authorities. If
citizens would carry knife and cut a
few horses loose it might check the
nuisance.
Yesterday evening a respondent
Chinaman was noticed sitting on the
curb of Nuuanu street contemplating
the beauties of the gutter, when a
benevolent citizen came along aud the
following conversation ensued (Be-
nevolent citizen STOPPING beside
Chinaman) care you sick John ?"
"Me no sabe." "Have you lost some
thing, John" "Me no sabe." "Then
what's the matter, John, can.I help your
"Me no sabe." "Do you want work
John' if So" "me heap sabe that
you allie same Government; you ask
Chinaman if he work then hire Japnee
why you no rub your hands to-
gether when you talk like the other
man who brings Chinaman here to
fool them allie same natives, sic /" The
benevolent gentleman saw at once that
even, the Chinese have the presnt Ad-
ministration down fine.
They say: that the leaders of the
"Intelligent and Independent Opposi-
ton" are too shrewd to formulate
and publish a policy, which would i'm
mediately be stolen by an Administra-
ton that has none of Its own; that the
best thing the present Administration
can do is to "play honest" for a while;
that the dedication of the new Chinese
Y. M. c. A. will mark new period
in Chinese mission work in Honolulu;
that the fern collecting business threat
ems to become new industry in the
Hawaiian Islands; that the Christmas
gift question can easily be settled by
looking over the fine stock of Christ
mas goods on exhibition at Thrum's
store on Fort street; that the best in
vestment for small capital is banana
patch; that the authorities are contem-
plating the question Of putting stop
to fast driving; that society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals could
find lots of work to do in Honolulu;
that some Of the literary lights Of
Honolulu are contemplating a joint
production in the form of local opera
to be performed by home talent; that
the policy of the present Government
is to follow the lead of the Opposition;
that the only fault which the people
generally find with the present incum-
bent officials is their incompetency; that
some of the present under-officials are
doing their bestto rectify the mistakes of
their principals; that the theory of
social reform among the natives is one
of general interest 70 the best classes
of our citizens; that those who apply
for relief to the charitable institutions
of Honolulu are, in nine cases out of ten,
really worthy of being helped; that
those who advocate the importation
of cheaD labor into Hawaii ore INV
