| Accounts come from the Colonies
OF E. Cecil Thompson, the pseudoaris-
tocrat who insinuated himself into the
confidence Of many Honolulu tuft-hun-
tiers, and whose surreptitious leave
taking on the Australian steamer. to-
gether with some Of his other exploits
here, was revealed in this paper last
October. He managed to attach him
self to fellow-passenger whom he had
met here, who was induced at Sydney
to lend him money upon the pretext
that his trunk, containing a $4,000
draft, had been left ashore unknown TO
him at Auckland. His loose change
was all gone, and he had not even
change of linen--such was the sorrow
fu plea that prevailed With the loan
thus obtained, Thompson took himself
oil to Auckland, and his benefactor
had not heard from him at last accounts.

The Portuguese paper made its APP
pearance last night ahead of time, and
with several surprises for celebrating
Christmas, which is a very popular feast
amongst the Portuguese people. The
first surprise is view of Honolulu, from
a plate kindly lent by Mr. Thrum from
his Annual. The second is that the
LnSo Hanaiiano counts this time, its
columns, instead of twenty, giving SO |
much more space for readable matters |
The articles seem also specially well |
selected for the circumstances; and |
begin by presenting the editors Christ
mas and New Years best wishes TO his
increasing readers. The Christmas ar
tlcle is from the able pen of Rev. Father
Clement. The prognostics of next year
follow with an exquisite and appropri-
ate story for "feuilletin." Abundant
news is given from Portugal and the
Azores, whilst the locals are also quite
lengthy. This interesting issue is closed |
by articles on Portuguese centenarians,
which appear to be quite numerous; on
the Mormons, and on the most ancient
colonizers of America, which are claim
ed to have been people from the Azores.
We congratulate Mr.. Marques on his
success.
