The Adultery case of Captain Trip
is still renamed on account OF the
lawyers being engaged in the Supreme
Court--the case will be doubtless be
continued until the public have interest
in it.
1t is stated that number of petty
thefts are being perpetrated in this
town.. May wc-'bea permitted to en-
quire where our police are--when they
are not asleep you know the mos
quitos are very bad.
Since 1879 each ofthe, feet, of one
Of our esteemed citizens has grown two
sizes longer. He Is now obliged to
wear number IL. We know of no
recent evidence so convincing as this
that the climate Of the Hawaiian Isl
ands stimulates SO much growth.
A horse attached to buggy took
fright at passing wagon on Fort street
yesterday afternoon. In the wagon
we're lady and two small girls. Had
it not been for the presence of mind of
a native policeman, we might have
been compelled to chronicle sad
catastrophy.
There was quite merry time at the
circus the other night when the fellow
who wore the coats and played drunk
was handed in by a policeman. The
poor clown had a lonesome time of it
all to himself, while another of the
ring boys was sent to haul in the police
man and bring the 'orse man back.
The Kings brave cop almost nipped
the arm of the poor acrobat. AS Homo
lulu policeman don't often get exercise
it is asserted that they don't know how
to take hold of man when they have
a chance.
The awning poles which flap at the
ends of the canvass screenes which fend
the sunlight on Nuuanu and Hotel
streets ought at least to be tied SO as
to hold them in position. Day before
yesterday one of these swinging poles
struck a wayfarer over the eye as he
was passing along the street and sent
him home with a beautiful Mansard
roof over his eye. If somebody, who
gets hurt by the carelessness of such
people, others would bring suit, the jury
would only do its duty by going YER
dict for good round sum.
The circus last night was success,
as usual, there was large audience
present but not so large as the night
before. The new programme which
was SO well performed last night was
not in any way an improvement upon
the excellent performance of the night
before, because the troupe makes it
point not to vary the programme so as
to disappoint the public or. raise full
blown expectations for the future.
The La Ps,rAe Equipiose act by Messrs.
Culvert and King was one of the best
things of the evening. The perform
ance, taken as whole, was as good as
any that has ever been offend the pub
lie here and will not be forgotten by
those who will not forget the merry
clown and the prancing horses.
They say : that few people in Ho-
nolulu are trusted with the characters of
others; that the end of the Hawaiian
Government will either be bankruptcy
or annexation; thatthe Attorney General
is looking much better, politically, since
his trip to the coast; that the best peo-
pie in the world are not those who
make the claim themselves that the
sun-burned faces of the boys on Mon
day mornings is dead give:away on
the Sunday shooting racket; that the
ducks should be allowed to keep the
Sabbath, if the boys do not; that the
merriest time ofall the year is midnight;
THAT the Hawaiian political circus must
do both ground and lofty tulnbling if
they wish to fool the people; that the
t"most unkindest cut Of allo was given
the King by his own ministers; that
the string Of the Governments purse
means better times in official circles;
that the sermons preached by Pastor
! Cruzar. are as good as those preached
by Talmage; that the end of the opium
string found in the harbor short time
ago would have led to marble halls if
it had been followed up; that Deputy
Marshall Dayton never takes boat rides
for nothing; that the Government off
Gals ought to get up a crew and enter
the coming races against the Honolulus;
that in this, instance at least they would
have a chance to win; that the most
the people can expect in the coming
elections will be chance to express
their indignationj that the most fun of
the gay boys consists in finding out
whether they have had'fuh or not; and
that the end of official promise is the
breath. that blows it out.
