A Terrible ,Jump.

CHICAGO. H., March Sc. O'Hara, su.
perintendent of the Pullman Palace Car
Company, while delirious from erysipelas
which affected his head, overpowered his
two colored attendants this morning and,
deliberately raising the window of his
room in the sixth story of tine Palmer
House. jumped out into the rotunda With
nothing to arrest his fall, he would doubt
less have been killed, but in his descent he
encountered four skylights, each protected
by wire netting, and passing through all
these distractions he reached the bottom
with slight injuries, so far as could be as
certained.

One of the industries along the
Shannon river, in Ireland. is the capt
ure and cultivation of eels. The TAX
ing of forty-thousand in a single night
sometimes occurred years ago; but the
present product is much less, owing to
the drainage of the country and other
influences. At Castle Connell are five
immense tanks, in which the eels are
kept alive and allowed to grow, the
dead and weak ones being dipped out
every morning by means Of large land
ing nets, and sold cheaply to poor peo-
pie.

Reckless Driving.

Last night, at half past eight o'clock
another exhibition of reckless driving
was given by two hackmen on Nuuanu
street, at the first bridge Seven per
sons, among whom were two women
and child, we're nearing the bridge
three going one way and four the other,
when the two hacks were first seen by
a PRESS reporter, racing toward town
along the street. Both hackmen were
trying to obtain the lead and drove
furiously over the bridge almost en-
tirely filling the narrow roadway at
that point. A lady and gentleman were
forced into the ditch at one end OF the
bridge, in order to avoid the danger
and the remaining persons IN The way
were driven back to the sidewalk IN
front of the Chinese stores. The PRESS
reporter tried to see the numbers OF
the hacks, but failed; one OF Them
however, was driven by a white man
and the other by native.

The Campobello Benefit.

The subscription series of Campo
bello Concerts closed last night This
troupe has met with recognition that
must be highly gratifying in point of
enthusiasm. But the Wanted musical
taste of Honolulu has received shock
from the prices for seats. Knowing
that Honolulu has not done itself JUS
tice, several of our leading citizens have
rendered benefit to Signor Campo
bello and company to take place Wed
nesday night. Attention is directed to
the advertisement of prices Of seats
which will show that the Benefit is
within easy reach of all.
The Campobello Company deserves
we'll from our lovers of music. Their
careful response to all encores, their
unclouded faces, with small houses in
front, have rendered the artists favor
ties. The artistic merit of the gentle
men and the unstudied and artless
manners of the young ladies, must be-
speak for them the admiration of the
community. 1t is to be hoped that a
rousing house will greet the last ap-
pearance of the company.

Last Nights COMFORT.


The curtain rose at 8:I5 last night at
the Hawaiian Opera House. A small
audience, unworthy the fame and ex-
cellence of the troupe, was seated in
front. The first selection was trio
Allegro, 9Th Symphonic, Mendelssohn,
rendered in exquisite style by the
Misses Joran-Miss Pauline playing the
violin and Misses Lulu and Elise pianos.
Being encored they returned beauti-
ful piece Astounding in whispering
tones, which we're interpreted in a
manner as artistic as the composition
itself Signor Lencioni then delighted
the audience with happy rendering Of
an aria Miss Elise Joran then played
three selections and responded to an
encore. 1t is impossible for one who
is not musical critic to do justice to
this "Infant Phenomenon's" execution,
but it is entirely possible for everyone
hearing her playing to be delighted,
although without the ability to anal
we the delicious sensations produced
The ripping and rapid tones which the
instrument sends forth seem like the
carolings of joyous bird. Miss Paul
inc then played Souvenir du Bosphore
Vieuxtemps, with touch impressi-
bly, sweet On her encore the tones
from her bow we're sweet, soft and
affecting. The violin seemed to voice
human emotions of tenderness, rapture
and grief, in alienation. Miss Lulu
oran next rendered L'Invitation la
Valse, Weber, at the piano. This
piece is of the dreamy revery style, en-
livened at times with flashes Of vigor,
then softened by series of ripping
cadences to relapses into the dreamy
style once more. Miss Joran is not
only thoroughly conversant with the
instrument but she has the most cor
rect conception of the music itself
Now came the gem of the evening. A
selection from Gounod with the voice
of Miss Spring, the violin of Miss Paul
inc and the pianos of Miss Elise and
Lulu 1t was SO sweetly rendered that the
audience fairly forgot the usual applause
allotted to the young ladies. But il
did not forget to recall them. A duo
on two pianos by the Misses Pauline
and Elise Joran closed the first part
The second part consisted of selection:
from the Barber of Seville" in which
Signors Lencioni and Campobello anc
Miss Spring in costumes, sang with un
usual taste and effect.

plates in colors of various Hawaiian
flowers The work has been extens-
lively sold by subscription and an in

ceived per the steamer Zealandia by

store, where subscribers can now obtain
copies This is certainly one of the
most valuable books in the botanical
line ever published about Hawaii
and should receive liberal patronage
from the residents of these Islands.

Advance In Sugars.

New YORK, April 23.-The strike Of
workmen in the Williamsburg refner-
les has doomed the price Of sugar.
GRADUATED sugar was quoted at PC
Saturday last; yesterday it reached ~
c. 1t is said prices are sure to advance
still higher. The stock of refined
sugar on hand amounts to practically
nothing Business has been slack and
dealers haveR been buying sugar in
quantities just sufficient to supply the
demand. Now that the country de
mand has increased, the strike has
caused prices to advance out of prop
ortion and cost Of the natural course of
trade. Raw sugar was quoted at S
II-I6c on April I4th; yesterday it was
sac. This shows slight advance in
the cost Of raw material, which is not
accounted for by the present strike,
but which will account for something
of the advanced price of refined sugar.
The strike, however, has tended to very
much strengthen the advance,

Fine Work.

Messrs. Castle & Cooke of King

which is deserving of attention from
the fact that as a specimen of home

work in the blank-book making line
that has ever been imported from
abroad. This sample of 'home in
dustry of competitive kind" may be
seen for few days at the bindery, be-
fore it is delivered, so that those who
have been in the habit OF sending
abroad for such work can see what
manner of home manufacture they are

surpasses similar work done at the
