The whaler Cape Horn Pigeon wen
outside yesterday afternoon. She will
cruise about for day or two and vii
then return to see if the officers have
caught any more of the men who de
serted this week. Yesterday morning
one deserter was caught slowed away
in Fowler's yard and during the after
noon two more we're caught at the
same place.
Boys, be careful how you play ball
after dark. One little urchin down al
the wharf last night came very near
having one of his eyes put out by con-
tinuing his catch game of throwing his
ball high into the air after night-fall.
The little fellow at first thought he
had been struck by bomb charged with
dynamite, bnt happily soon recovered
with slight injuries.
There was a good deal of loud talk
interspersed with profanity among lot
of sailors in the vicinity of the Homo
lulu restaurant on the corner of Mer-
chant and Nuuanu streets about dark
last night, but owing to the ready re-
Spouse of a number of native police
men there was no blood shed, so we
are again compelled to cut short what
at first promised to be an A No local.
Parquetry work is now being made in
Honolulu for the first time. 1t is being
manufactured for the residence of T.
R. Lucas on Beretania street. The
paquetry is made Of ash, walnut and
koa woods which will extend around
the side of the room. The word
" Aloha is to be placed near the front
door and will be done in the same style
Of workmanship. The work will be
executed by Mr.. J. Moore
Yesterday morning as one OF our
society bellies on Nuuanu avenue was
comfortably seated in her carriage for
drive with gentlemen friend, she dis
covered in her haste she had forgotten
to supply herself with lap robe +;
whereupon she called to her Chinese
servant to 60 and fetch the forgotten
article, at the same time making
motions as if spreading the robe about
her. The Celestial, with the remark,
"me heap sable lap robe," went cheer
fully tripping away in obedience to his
mistress request. Two gentlemen driv-
ing by in another carriage had in the
meantime halted to exchange greetings
with the couple at the gate. Just as
the conversation was becoming inter-
esting, the Chinaman put in his
appearance upon the scene with a
good sized thirteen hoped excelsior
hustle, which he threw into the lady's
lap. We refrain from describing the
tableau that followed.
They say that the Government
party is so confident of success at the
coming elections that its leaders will
not admit there is any chance of failure;
that the truth is generally told with the
best grace when it subserves personal
interests that breach of promise suit
will be brought soon; that the best
chance for the opium ring is to keep
things dark that the circus will have
another crowded house on Saturday
night next; that the paper-mill enter
prize would pay here if the necessary
capital could be gotten to put it
through that the saloons are becom-
ing more careful lately in closing upon
time; that the base ball mines will be
split up and recognized next season
that the men who violate the
Sunday law ought to be brought to
the scratch; that dove shooting by the
natives and Others ought to be stopped
by the authorities; that the circus will
be under royal patronage next Saturday
night; that chinese vendors should be
prohibited from carrying their baskets
and poles on the narrow sidewalks; that
the Opera troupe will give as good
performance if not better one tonight
than was given last-night; that the Sa-
ratoga House is looking up; that the
stores on Fort street are beginning to
look Christmas-like and attractive; and
that some hack horses know more than
their drivers.
