The severe test to which the Mac Neale &
Urban safe was recently subjected, in the late
fire, in the building occupied by Mr.. George
NJ. Raupp, is conclusive evidence that this
make Of safe can be fully relied upon. On
being extricated from the ruins, this safe
showed the intense heat to which it had been
exposed, the outer shcathng Of the door being
warped and the handles melted off, On being
opened, at Messrs. K. More & Cos, the lock
and combination were found to he in perfect
order and its contents consisting of $1,000 in
cash, books, papers, etc, were in a perfect
state Of preservation. Mr.. Raupp has since
ordered another one Of same sire make. Mr..
c. o. Berger is the Honolulu agent for these
celebrated safes.
In these days when so much deception is
practced in manufacturing articles in daily use,
what can be relied upon. This is especially
the case with reference to a safe, which is the
custodian of va!uables, that, once destroyed,
often cannot be replaced One of the most
severe tests safe was ever subjected to was,
the No. 70, Halls Safe, which was in the
hottest part Of the flames in the recent fire,
which destroyed c. ]. Fishel's store and other
buildings. The morning after the fire the
safe was taken out and the handles and dial
plate were found intact. Mr.. Mott, on learn.
ing the combination, opened ii a, the first
attempt and found its contents entirely unin.
jured. Mr.. Samuel Mott is the agent and will
| fill all orders for these safes.

spirit in declining to accept the munifcient
offer Of Mr.. VIM. II. Vanderbilt, to transfer
to her the mortgage given to him by the Gene.
raj to secure the debt of $4,000 he owed
Mr. Vanderbilt. But we doubt, if there had
been one of the "Lght running Domestic Sew.
ing Machines among the articles thus trans.
ferred, tina; Mrs. Grant would have refused its
acceptance, as it is difficult for any lady to par,
with one after having once tested its merits
