is the lazy mans friend, the busy mans
assistant, the lovers, appeal court over
the stern parent, the hackman's.. boon,
the reporters delight, the creditors ex-
cuse, the policeman's aid, the officials
apology, the editors reserve, the fire
mems alarm, the public makeshift, and
the stockholders bank.
Yesterday morning about half past
eight o'clock, a hackman ran over a
Chinese fruit vendors basket which the
owner had left near the curb on Emma
street while he had gone into house
to ask "what you wantee ~ One of
the baskets, which contained musk
melons, was smashed, and the other
was upset scattering the small fruits in
the gutter. This is not the first time
that hackman has been known to
make mash"
Just previous to the departure Of the
Ma,Iboso, Mr. F. l.. Clarke was com
missioned by two gentlemen of wealth
and culture, returning to their homes
in England, to procure and forward to
them seeds, cuttings, and notes of all
indigenous Hawaiian plants that, in
his opinion, would be interesting or
valuable to grow underglass in England
Mr.. Clarke informs us that there are a
number of fine things to be had here,
which he hopes may be induced to
grow as varieties in some of the conser-
vatories abroad.

The fourth number of q LnSo la.
aoaiian0 appeared yesterday morning,
giving full news from Portugal,
Madeira and the Azores, letter from
Portuguese working on Paia Panta-
ton and over two columns of such
local facts as are of interest to the Por-
tuguese colony. The Portuguese COR
respondent from Paia is logially con-
else in his description of the manner in
which the workmen are treated on that
plantation and reduces to very small pro-
portions the right, if they had any, for
the japanese to complain it must be
very satisfactory to Mr.. Welsh, the
manager, to see himself sustained by
white laborers. Among the local news,
we note that the Portuguese in Homo
lulu are thinking Of organizing a FIRE
company, which would be a good
sequel to the other project, announced
in the late number OF the LnS0 of form
ing Portuguese band.
Something novel in the way of sports
will take place here on the first of
October next. Mr.. James Steiner and
Mr.. Dan ]. Lyons, Charlie McCarthy's
handsome clerk, have laid a wager Of
$50 side that each can beat the other
wheeling hand-barrow around the
island of Oahu. The race will start
from in front of Charlie McCarthy's
cigar store at six o'clock on the morn
ing of October Ist Mr.. Steiner will
go by way of King street and the Waia-
lua road and Mr.. Lyons will trundle
his hand wagon by the Pail road. Both
gentlemen will carry their own provis-
ions and an alarm clock to wake them
up. The conditions are that each man
shall have six hours rest out OF every
twenty-four hours, and it is understood
that there is to be no soldering on the
route. Arrangements have been made
by the PRESS to report the time made at
different points along the route and a
diary of the trip will be published when
the boys get back, if they are not ar
rested by the natives and sent to the
Insane Asylum. Member Riddell, of
the Post Obit Club declares he
wouldn't make the trip for 5000
not bit Of it,
