the Samoa Islands.

Ayes, the Samoa Islands.
B.-Some more, but what islands?
One of the sailors of the whaler
Hunter, while butchering blubber ON
board the vessel several days ago,
fell on the slippery deck and struck
clcaver with his right hand, making
an ugly cash between the thumb and
index finger. The wound was dress
ed by DR.. McKibbin this morning,
and although the cut is not neces-
sarily dangerous, it will require
several days to heal.
Mr.. Henry Allen, resident of
Canterbury, New Zealand, who has
been travelling through California
the past year, having visited four
teen counties, was homeward bound
by the Mararoa, and seemed to be
making good use of his trained
powers of observation during his
brief stay in Honolulu. Among
other places he called at the BULLE-
TIN office, and received file of
papers to further inform him of this
country.
JUSTICE Bickerton, in discharging
John Good, tried for assault and
battery, held that he was acting
under orders from his superior
officer the Marshal, and being
pressed back by the crowd was
justified in using his stick. His
case was different from that of the
three Chinese charged with similar
offense in connection with the same
affair, as they were not officers nor
called upon for assistance by an
officer. Neither had any informality
in the affair aught to do with this
case, whatever might be the result
in civil action on that ground.
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 9th.
POLITICAL meetings are raging on
King and Merchant streets this after
noon.
HONOLULU dogs so tire themselves
barking at night that they cucumber
the sidewalks taking needed repose
in the morning.
In Wiseman's window is a fine

rounded by Representations of not
able scenes in his career.
DIR. John Brodie was elected this

Hospital, as assistant physician in
place of DR.. Henri McGrew, re-
signed.
HoN. w. G. Parke, administrator,
has been authorized by the Supreme
Court to sell certain real property of
the late Jean M. Daigle, for statu-
tory reasons.
Mr.. j. f. Smiths house and lot
were withdrawn from the sale by
E. p. Adams & Co. this morning, no
satisfactory bid being given. The
furniture brought good prices, and
the mare and colt $3.50.
A FEAT of patient strength was
performed by native this morning,
in leading three frlsky but obstinate
mules, a fourth cutting capers loose,
down the Palama road and across
the bridge to the reef. Four little
girls and an infant boy assisted by
twisting the tails of the animals
when they refused to advance, as
they frequently did.
In Harper's Weekly by the last
mail is scene of a rehearsal for the
american Opera" drawn by Chas.
Graham. In the center of the pic
ture is grand stage scene from
"Orpheus," with the likenesses of
the Hawaiian Nightingale" Miss
Montague, "Juch," "Hastreiter"
and "L'Allemand," prima donnas,
around the border. The portrait of
Miss Montague is we'll drawn.
THERE are two skating Kinks at
Kohala, Hawaii. One is owned by j.
Smith and the other by native.
Both are said to be coming money,
especially on Saturday nights.
Another rink is being built at Kappa
hau, Hawaii, and, with Smiths Hilo
rink, the country is without doubt
amply supplied with facilities for in
dulging in the dubious pleasure of
skating. On the completion of
Kapahau rink, the Hawaiian Islands
can boast of seven such places, and
enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that
this country is keeping pace with
the times.
