ARorrihIe r.xnerience.

The steamer W. c. Hall arrived yes
terday afternoon, bringing four of the
sailors who were saved from the wreck
of the schooner Pohoiki during the late
storm. Two of them, Kalili and Hoa,
have each lost an arm, bitten off by
sharks, and are now at the Queens
Hospital. The other two, Kaaliaaina
and Kekai, are uninjured. 1t appears
that when the schooner upset all were
precipitated into the water The Cap
tain's wife, Kealoha, and sailor, Kaulu
were never seen again. A shark first
attacked Captain Paahau and took off
half of one leg, while another one took
the remaining half. A short time after
his other leg was bitten off. The
ferocious fish also attacked two of the
sailors, with the result stated above.
The four sailors managed to get into the
schooner's boat and also got the Captain
in. Besides losing both limbs, his side
was badly bitten. The sailors wanted
to take off their clothing and bandage
him, as he was bleeding badly, but he
would not let them, as he said he could
not live long. He lived for two DAYS,
however, but was gradually failing all
the time. After he died the sailors said
some prayers over his remains, and then
committed them to the deep. Most of
the time the boat was filled with water,
and it was not until the fourth day after
the schooner went down that land was
reached.

T0-DAY's PAPER.

With tO-day's paper we publish two
full-page supplements containing a
summary of the worlds news up to
the sailing of the Mariposa from San
Francisco. One of these is devoted to
the incidents connected with the
death of General Grant, which was
circulated by us in the business quar-
tiers of the city on Saturday. The
general news supplement contains
much interesting matter, one side of
the page being occupied with an illus
trRted advertisement of performances
by the circus company now visiting
Honolulu. In our regular sheet we
print picture of General Grant, with
an obituary notice; also a notice of
the death of Henry A. Pierce, formerly
United States Minister Resident at
Honolulu and afterwards member of
the Hawaiian Government; together
with a brief outline of the career Of
Sir Moses Montefiore, the great jew
ish phiIanthropist and eentenarian,
and a kindly mention of poor "Joe"
Tilden's death from the San Francisco
merchant" The general and local
news in to-day's ADVERTISER is un-
usually interesting and complete.
Planters and agents will find our
sugar report exhaustive.

Pointers Playing Rail

The long talked-of baseball match
between the teams of the ADVERTISERS
and Saturday Press" was played at the
Makiki grounds on Saturday morning.
There was quite crowd out to witness
the game. AS might have been ex-
pected, good many base hits and errors
were made ON both sides. The team
from the ADVERTISER led on hits, and
had their catcher only been able to hold
the ball, would certainly have won the
game. AT the end of the eighth innings
they We're four runs ahead, but when the
Press" team took the bat in the ninth
innings, they made seven runs, while
their opponents failed to make any
more. The score at the close of the
game stood, Saturday Press" %;

The Rice Market,

The San Francisco correspondent of the
ADVERTISER writes that there is but little
to report concerning the rice market on
the Coast, except the arrival of a ship
ment of Japanese table rice, which was
the first ever imported into San Fran
cisco. This has tended to depreciate
prices for Hawaiian, and to stop further
overland shipments from Carolina, and
will be an important factor in regulating
futures.
Quotations for Hawaiian were &c. to
exc, drop on previous prices.

GENERAL GRANT DEAD.

The Mariposa brought news of the
death of General Grant. AS this had
been expected for some time past the
announcement did not cause much
surprise. 1t had only been a question
of days with him after the fatal dis
ease, which slowly ate away his life,
developed itself. That he lived so
long as be did was entirely due, under
Providence, to careful nursing and
skiIful medical attendance. He passed
away peacefully, surrounded by his
entire family, on the 23d of July, and
was to be buried with great pomp in
New York, on the banks of the Hud-
son. on the Sth instant.
1t as impossible, in a short article:
to do anything like justice to the
character and career Of this remark
able man. He has filled so exalted
place on the worlds stage that to
barely mention the leading incidents
of his career would fill all the space at
our disposal. Suffice it to say that
Ulysses S. Grant was the most sue
cessfui General of his age; that he
was as free from personal ambition as
he was full of patriotism and love of
liberty; and that in his civil admins
tration of the affairs of the United
States his mistakes were the result OF
his guileIess. nature, played upon sue
cessfulIy by men whom he loved and
trusted. His faults ever leaned to
virtues side.
Posterity will do justice to this
great man, who has laid hums.iitv at
large under eternel obligations to
MIN. II Vs. mis- courage, persistence
ana military genius which destroyed
the Confederacy, and rendered posi-
bic the reconstruction of the Union
pom an immutible basis. A con-
geries of sovereign States before the
war, the United States emerged from
that struggle a United Nation, pre-
serving all the distinctive features of
State Government, but with all the
wea kness of the system eliminated.
It is doubtful had Lincoln lived, |
great and grand man as he was,
whether similar lines of policy would !
have been pursued. Johnson's policy |
is well known, but he was baff1ed. It |
remained for Grant, in the direct |
Providence of God, to perfect the work |
of unification and reform which his !
sword had rendered possible. AS
soldier and as President his career
moe ar1ua17u diGtiuOuisbad and aouaIlv
beneficent.
His death is national loss. Presi-
dent Cleveland aptly says in his pro-
clamatiOn announcing the sorroWful
tidings: "The great heart of the
Nation that has followed him with
love and pride does now in sorrow
mourn him, tenderIy mindful of his
' irtues, his great patriotic services,
md of the loss created by his death"
No event since the death of Lincoln,
by the hand of an assassin, has
;ouched the American heart like
his; not even the tragic ending of
5arfield's promising career.
Throughout the werld the event is
egretted; and here, in Honolulu, We
ejoice to know that memorial SER
,iees will be held to his memory on
next. It would only be a
-raceful and fitting recognition of the
nournful occasion for all public and
,rivate business to be suspended upon
hat occasion.

Mayor Low, of Brooklyn, in recent
mayorality contests has proven him
self to be such an exceptionally pop
ular candidate for Office that the
eyes of many republicans of New
Yorl, have been turned to him as
the one man who could successfully
lead them in the gubernatorial fight
in that state this fall But then
hopes on this score have been sadly
blasted by Mr.. Lows recent flat re.
fusal to become n candidate at their
hands. In an interview with The
New York Tribune he expresses him.
self as follows upon the political sit
uation:
From my standpoint the most serious aspect o
the republican defeat Of last fall is in this that II
was IA defeat received at the hands of its young
men. In Massachusetts there were several con
splcious instances where the father supported
cordially the republican ticket and the sons de
,,lincd to do so. Illustrations of the snme sor

1t was strongly claimed that or

Roach would be able to force the
government to accept the dispatch

his friends went so far as to conf
IDENTIFY claim that Attorney General
Garland would so decide when the
question was referred to him for his
opinion. The opinion of the attor-

however, dispels this delusion. He
holds that the action that the board
couldn't bind the government, and
that the large sums of money which
have been paid Mr. Roach can be re-
covered 1t was surely sorry day
for Roach when the administration
changed hands. With VIM. f. Chan

when twenty tlve years of protection has re-

most miserable failure, it ought to
be about time for its advocates to
quit holding it up as the great pan

more liberal system have something
to say about raising a revenue for
the government and tiding over and
avoiding hard times. 1t is mistake
TO look to legislation to create pros

laws has been to burden and handi-
cap the self-sustaining industries OF
the country for the benefit of the
confessedly improbable industries

these burdens were only removed,
