were piled up in the street proved too
much Of temptation to the pifering
propensities Of some persons, and owing
to the sudden disappearance of guam
tity of the building material watch
has been placed there.

They say that the young buds of
Hawaiian society are blooming very
fast; that the muchly looked for and
long expected political reform is coming
on apace; that there will be mighty
and valiant political battle fought this
fall, where the Kalakaua dollar will take
the place of the ancient goddess Pele;
that ferneries are becoming quite the
style in Honolulu among those who can
afford them: that there is to be a private
expose made before long Of the private
opium deals in semi-official circles; that
the weather yesterday was as treacher-
Gus as Government promise; that the
boys of the telephone office are the
bellies of the season; that the average
chicken thief will steal rooster as
quickly as hen, provided the rooster
will keep still; that the rain interfered
yesterday, somewhat, with the conve-
niences OF the Palace jewellers; that the
best way to obtain Government office is
to keep asking for it; that the much
talked Of cable to San Francisco will
not be laid until the Panama canal is
finished; that the Government ought to
pass bill establishing telephone com
munications between Oahu and the
other Islands; that if such thing is
done committee of citizens should be
appointed to see that the politicians
don't steal the money; that the young
man who carries a bottle of snakes in
his pocket ought to be able to keep
them out of his slippers; that the Ha-
waiian political "mugwumps" is thing
that is likely to turn up during the
coming campaign; that the Premier
will Immediately tie a string to it, if ii
does, and lead it into the political back
yard; that Jimmie Boyd resembles the
poet Whittier; that the man who laugh:
and the woman who crys are very much
alike; and that Road Supervisor Hair
ought to be ashamed to go out on the
streets he has built with his little dunn
carts
