Messrs. West, Dow, & Co., No.
los, Fort street, have taken time by
the forelock and are among the first
in the field in openings new stock Of
goods for the Holiday Trade. 1t
would require column Of our paper to
furnish sufficient room to describe a
tenth part Of their choice assortment Of
useful and ornamental articles suitable
for gifts, etc. Therefore we advise
those contemplating purchasing Holi-
day Presents, or household fittings, to
visit their store and inspect the elegant
stock of pianos, organs, music boxes,
furniture, pictures and engravings,
bronze statuary, clocks, cutlery, port
monies, purses, ladies' bags, toilet
articles, toys, etc, before purchasing
elsewhere, rare opportunity is offered
to buy many Of these articles at auction,
by attending the auction sale to be
held at the store Of West, Dow &
Co., next Saturday evening, 2Sth
instant.
The Bulletin in Yesterdays issue
makes happy allusion to the typo
graphical errors" in the DAILY PRESS.
We admit the truth, but account for
these errors by stating the fact that the
compositors Of the PRESS set up o,1gi-
nal matter, which is, in many instances,
SO badly written by our contributors as
to be scarcely legible, especially
At night when nearly all of our work is
done, whereas the Bulletin has the adj
vantage Of setting up by daylight
chiefly from printed copy which they
scissor from the morning dalies. How
ever we pardon their wit, inasmuch as
in this very article from their nimble
pen, they have introduced new
method Of spelling carcass viz, ea,1ase
"People who live in glass houses
shouldn't throw stones" AS we have
said before we have neither time or
room to spar with the Bulletin.
Two ambitious Cinnamon INDUCED
in display Of the "manly art" on Nuu-
anu street near Beretania last evening.
The cause of the row could not be
found out but it was evident from the
way they "hammered each other that
it was no trihing matter. One John,
stood in dignifed attitude, defending
himself in manner that would have
done some of our local "sloggers'
Justice, but for all this display of science
mis- beauty was seriously marred by the
too occasional collision Of his face with
his opponents fists. But John number
one, was not accepting these numerous
attentions without returning the COM
pliment with interest. While John num-
Der two was whacking away, John
number one would let fly his left which
invariably came in contact with the
nasal organ Of John number two with
such singing effect as to bring the
water to his optics. 1t is difficult to
tell how the affair would have ended
had not valiant policeman made his
always impressive appearance which in
duced the contestants to consider the
affair "a draw"
\ O Laso HdaOaiiano, No. II, is jus,
to hand in good time. The first thing
to be read is large quantity of varied
news from Portugal and Madeira which
cannot fail to be Of great interest tc
the readers of that paper. Then the
next noticeable feature is a goodly
amount of news from the other Islands
near'y all Of them original, which speaks
we'll for the popularity OF the LnsO' and
the increasing number of its cores
pondents. We notice that the Luse
reproduces letter lately published in
the Gazette advising people here to
get naturalized for the purpose Of
taking part in the Government of the
country our Portuguese neighbol
advise it readers to reflect on the
matter, and to follow the advice, if they
think it to their Advantages it un
questionably would be- This is al
important step in the right way, ano
might be of considerable bearing OF
, the political situation on these Islands
, The local news continues to be we'll Sc
, lected forthe kind of readers who pa
tronize the Lnso, and for their speca
, recreation there is column OF nice
little stories.
They say: that the Aiameda vii
bring interesting news next Saturday
if she gets here; that no man in hurr,
ever tried to cross Honolulu stree
without coming up against hack or
: wagon; that the heft Of political opinion
, is against the present Administration
, that the turkeys forgot to hold con
Z vention this week to protect their owl
! interests; that the fire at Waikiki, day
\ before yesterday, demonstrates the neet
: of fire company and water facilitie
