A PURCHASE by THE SOUTHERN

To-day the stock owned by Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Birdsall and Connor
Birdsall in the San joaquin and
Sierra Nevada Railroad Company,
will be transferred to the Southern
Pacific Company. There arc 333, 900
shares of stock in the corporation

giving the management of the cor
poration into the hands of the broad

the road will soon be converted into
n broad-gauge and operated in con-
junction with the Southern Pacific
Road, with switch at Lodi. 1t is
also stated that the road will be eX-
tended into the timber belt of the

CONGRATULATIONS TO HIS
MAJESTY THE KING.

MIR. IL. W. Severance, formerly
Hawaiian Consul at San Francisco,
arrived per steamer Zealandia on a
brief visit to his relatives in this
clty.
Mr.. Severance is the bearer of n
"port folio,'' containing an en-
crossed letter of congratulation,
addressed to His Majesty on the
occasion of his birthday anniver-
sary, which is signed by many of
his California friends, who are in
terested in the prosperity of his
kingdom.
We are informed that this elegant
souvenir was presented TO His
Majesty yesterday by Mr.. Sever
ance.
The design is in elegant silk
plush covers, containing the royal
monogram and the dates Novem-
Der 16, 1S36-November 16, 1886,

ing of the brilliant ohia blossom.
The lining is of crimson satin, and

CURE FOR MOST DANGEROUS

An. intelligent. and trustworthy
correspondent, says the Boston
Transcript, sent lis the following:
"'The smoke of woolen rags is a
cure for the most dangerous wounds.
A lady of my acquaintance ran
machine needle through her finger.
She could not be released till the
machine was taken to pieces, The
needle had broken into her finger in
three pieces, one of which was bent
almost double. After repeated
trials the pieces were extracted by
pincers, but they were strongly i'm
beded. The pain reached to the
shoulder, and there was every dan
ger of lockjaw. The woolen rags
were put over the Goals, and she
held her finger over the smoke, and
In very short time all the pain was
gone and it never returned, though
it was some little time before the
finger healed. This is but one of
the many instances of such cure,

KEEN NOSES WHICH DETECT PERSONS
AND METALS CORRECTLY.

James Mitchell, who died in or
about 1888, in the county of Nairn,
in Scotland, and was born blind, on
November IL, 1895, recognized,
says the "World of Wonders"
different persons by smelling. Mr..
Moyle mentions blind man at
Utrecht who could distinguish
different metals by the different
odors; and Martials records the
case of a person named Mamurra,
who could tell by smelling whether
copper was true Corinthian or not.
Indian travellers have recorded that
certain natives who habitually alb
stain from animal food have sense
of smelling which is so exquisitely
delicate, that they can tell from
which well a vessel of water has
been obtain. 1t has been related
that by smell alone negroes of the
Antilles will detect the footstep of a
Frenchman from those of negro.
Marco Marci has left an account of
a monk in Prague who could tell by
smelling anything given to him who
had last handled it. The guides
who accompany travellers in the
route from Aleppo to Babylon will
tell by smelling the desert sand how
near they are to the latter place.
Nathaniel Wanley in his "Wonders
of the Little World" a famous
old book, gives a particularly full
account of man called John of
Liege, who, when a boy, flying in
terror of soldier in time of war,
passed many years alone in the
depths in the forest of Ardennes
where he lived upon roots and wild
fruits, the psesence of which he
could at least detect from a great
distance by the smell alone. In the
same way he detected the presence
of men long before they came in
sight. - On the Rounds.

one Seemed TO know. The aalioe
that followed this had also its
mermaid, and was manned by five
regal looking Ilawaiians, in helmet
and gay gold colored Wshtles, with a
large model of a fish, labelled "Pi-
moe.'' Then came a modern race
boat, manned by the Kings junior
crew, and a second, by the senior
crew, the crews being distinguished,
the one by white, the other by
striped shirts. The car was
mounted forward with model of
an open mouthed sharks head, of
threatening aspect.
The next section consisted of two
cars, rallied in, and profusely decked
with flags, palm leaves and ferns,
the one carrying Poomaikalani's,
the other Kanoa's hula dancers.
The forward car carried aloft q
banner, Inscribed, "lIula Hcalani
Ka Moi, Nov. 16, 1886" Another
rallied car carried the Reformatory
School Band.
The procession, after filing through
the principal streets, brought up at
half-past 10 O'Clock in front of the
Royal Palace. AS the floats came
in to the grounds, the several rowcrs
and fishermen occupying the canoes,
vigorously piled their oars and lines
rs if engaged in the occupations
they represented. From one of the
canoes a large seine was thrown out,
in which were caught, by arrange
ment, some three or four burly
natives, to illustrate the netting of
big fish.
His Majesty the King, attended
by members of the Royal family,
Ministers of State and other person
ages, occupied seats at the head of
the Palace steps at the main en-
trance. The celebrated "Ball and
Twine Society" in their gay aprons
and regalia, crowded on the ver-
andahs. The different sections OF
the procession halted in front of His
Majesty, and paid their respects.
The principal figure in this part OF
the programme was swarthy Ha-
waiian, representing Kamehameha L.
who delivered a humorous speech
to the Royal party. A sham fight
with spears between bodies Of able
Hawaiians also took place here.
The natives in the procession
were all curiously costumed in imi-
tation of ancient times. Wreaths
and leis of sea moses, myrtle leaves
and flowers were worn by all.
The palace grounds were crowded
by large throngs of spectators, CIV
ing the police enough to do to keep
the route of the procession clear.
Messrs. tehlbehr and Tell, witt
twelve policemen, however, kept
good order and prevented any un-
seemly jostling or disturbance.
The procession marched severa
times round the Palace, and soor
afterwards, retired and disbanded

SATURDAY. NOV. 20. 1856.
Mr.. ARMSTRONC'S LETTER.

A letter written by Mr.. III. r.
Armstrong TO the London Times,
Oct. IA, was handed to us yester-
day afternoon, but too late for pub
lcation in yesterdays issue. This
mornings advertiser publishes the
letter in full, with some sound and
moderate editorial comments. 1t
does not require special knowledge
of the affairs of this country to
detect some egregious errors in MIR.
Armstrong; letter. One or two of
these call for brief notice. First,
the statement that ''several planta-
tions yielded in the past crushing
season as much as six tons, and in n
few instances eight tons, of sugar
per acre, and this during period of
drought which has been uneXampled
for the past 20 years" The error
of this statement is in the conclud-
ing sentences, which naturally i'm
press the uninformed reader with
the belief that if such immense
Yields can be secured "during n
period of drought unexampled for
the past 20 years" better still may
be expected in favorable seasons.
The truth is, that our unparalleled
sugar yield Of the past year is
mainly due to the unusual evenness
of the rainfall, extending in sutli-
cient showers over most of the
period of cane growth, from planting
to maturity. But what impresses
us as the most glaring of Mr.. Arm
strong's Misrepresentation is the
following 81 found during my
stay in the Hawaiian Islands that,
SO far from uneasiness being felt as
to the abrogation of the treaty, the
spirit of independence breathed in
Mr.. Gibson's report is shared by the
inhabitants, be they traders or
planters; and the confidence which
the people have in the capabilities
of the country leads them to re-
ceive calmly and without fear for the
future rumors of the abrogation Of
treaty which, they maintain, has
retarded the extension of their ex-
port trade" Really, this is news to
lis. 1t is remarkable that gentle
man who was II perfect stranger to
the country should learn SO much of
the views and opinions of the peo-
pie, during brief stay of few
weeks, that is unknown to those long
resident here! The people of Homo
lulu are informed from London that
the reciprocity treaty with the
United States ''has retarded the eX-
tension of orr ''export trade;"
that such is the confidence of our
people in the capabilities of this
country that they ''receiye calmly
and without fear for the future,
rumors OF the abrogation of the
treaty." and that ''the spirit of in
dependence breathed in Mr.. Gibson's
report is shared by the inhabitants,
be they traders or planters. We
