The Admiralty Case.

Yesterday George Albert and David
Iokua, sailors on the Moiwahine, gave
evidence on behalf of the respondents,
differing little if any from that of pre-
vious witnesses, to the effect that the
lights were properly set and burning
Nehemiah, who was at the wheel when
the disaster occurred, gave confirmatory
testimony in the same line.
Captain Dudoit, of the steamer
Dowsett, was recalled ON behalf of
respondents He admitted he was
near-sighted and having consulted a
doctor for that failing. Declining to
answer further questions, legal dis
cussion ensued, the Court deciding
that the evidence of the witness be ad-
mitted. A test Of sight was applied in
Court, witness stating that he could see
better at night with night binocular.
In cross.examihation he said that he
had never had collision before.
Samuel C. Allen, of respondents,
was put on the stand but withdrawn.
Peha, another sailor of the Moi
wahine, gave similar evidence to his
shipmates.
Captain James Staples, of the Moi
wahine, gave his experience of the sea,
having been coasting in Hawaiian
waters eighteen months and sailed in
other parts of the world, He saw the
Dowsett's light three-quarters of mile
off, and ascertained that the schooner,
lights were burning properly. Wher
the Dowsett was within $50 feet of the
schooner he hailed her to have
her put her helm hard aport, and or

That Trust Case.

Justice McCully yesterday filed his
decision in the case of Albert Trask
and others VS.. Pakiko, that of trust re-
ported here a week ago, ordering a
decree in favor of the plaintiffs. kis
Honor finds the testimony of the de-
tense totally Inconsistent and com
ments upon the evidence of Hon. ]. l..
Dowsett, adduced on behalf of plain
tifs, as agreeing with the circumstances
of the case. Mr.. Dowsett was the
assignee Of two mortgages upon the
premises in question, and conveyed
them without knowing the equities of
the matter. The property in dispute
is a piece of land situate at Kakaako, OF
the value of about $500. The remedy
sought to be recovered is reconvey-
ance of the premises to plaintiffs in
accordance with the prayer of the petit
ton. Kinney & Peterson for plaintiffs,

Policemen in Ireland.

A letter from Ireland in the Cleve.
land Leadey tells how Irelands police
men look and how much they cost:
"The Irish police are, as rule, very
tall men, and there is a regulation as to
their size. They wear olive green uni
forms and helmets, and carry short
swords, rifles and clubs, and Ireland
has more than twice as many Of them
IN proportion to her population as
England, and nearly three times as
many as Scotland. 1t costs every year
over $500, 900 to keep the peace in
Ireland, to only 81, 10000 in Scotland
and about $I7,ooo,ooo in England.
The great majority of the Irish police
are Catholics, and this was the cause
of the continued riot at Belfast. The
Irish police costs England over ST.
900, 900 a year, and it is question
whether, on the whole, Ireland does
not cost more than what she is worth
to England"

THE BILLIARD MATCH.
MoCieery Wins in Forty-eight In-
nings by Sixty-Hve Points.

There was a large audience at the
Hotel billiard room last evening, on
the occasion Of the third match be-
tween Messrs. McCleery and Saylor.
1t was 500 points for $500 a side and
gate receipts, and played under the
balk line rules. AS anticipated the
match brought out much more endur-
ance and skill than those played with
rail-shooting. M'Cleeryopened the game
and won in his 48th inning. SaylOr was
65 behind with one inning less than his
opponent, but as he had made no run as
high as that figure he was fairly beaten.
McCleery made the highest run of the
match in his second inning, namely,
eli, making none approaching that
one afterward. After the 27th inning,
when Saylor made run of 81, the re-
suit of the game was doubtful, as
Saylor was making larger scores in most
cases than his antagonist AT the 10th
inning McCleery was only 10 ahead; at
the 42nd, ID, and at the 44th the dit
ference was reduced to 7. Then after
scoring a 3 and two rs, he took the
cue with determined air, winding up
the match at the sand point and
apparently able to make larger run.
There was splendid playing by both
men, but neither was free from nervous
ness, failing in many cases on easy
shots. Beginning shortly after 8 o'clock,
the match lasted t il 1875. Following
is a complete score by innings, with the
aggregate attained in each:-

A WEIRD SCENE.
Burial OF the Hawaiian Flag with
Military Honors and its
Resurrection.

There is nothing strange to Homo
lulu ears in the military drumbeat, 1t is
as ordinary sound as the strains of the
taro-patch fiddle. Probably, therefore,
few residents would remember three
days after that on Thursday night last
the music of a fife and drum band
went sounding through the streets, un-
less some unusual circumstance was re-
lated to them as being connected with
that fact. 1t was only company of
the Hawaiian army to be organized
out on parade, most people who heard
the sound doubtless thought until the
intelligence passed round yesterday,
that an event of extraordinary interest
if not significance, was coupled with
the incident.
On the night mentioned band of
armed men marched through town and
up Nuuanu Avenue toward the city of
the dead. In the procession there was
state carriage, or vehicle serving that
turn for the time being, and .at its
tanks and tail tripped along a motley
throng, in more or less fatiguish uni
form, drawn to the train by the martial
music. AS the cavalcade approached
The Cemetery, the soldiers reversed
arms and the drums began to sound
with a funeral beat. Reaching the
neighborhood of the Royal Mausolelm,
casket was taken from an improvised
hearse and buried in a grave, 1t was
then dug up again, or resurrected, and
with merry rattle of drum the process
sion went back to town.
This is said to be an ancient Ha-
waiian rite revived, only that in the
"good old daze," as Josh Billings used
to say, it was not flag but the bones
of great man that underwent sepul-
ture. There was such rite performed
twenty or thirty years ago, when one OF
the most imposing professions ever
seen in Honolulu filled the streets.
The commonly accepted reason for
Thursday nights ceremony is that
given below. 1t is said that a dream
was dreamed that greatly disturbed the
dreamer until he had it interpreted.
Some Of the state kahunas, or native
doctors of physic and psychlcs legalized
at last session, were consulted. They
interpreted the dream to signify that
the rule of the haole, or foreigner, was
pau loa, that is to say finished; and, tc
symbolic the tenure of alien sway, the
national flag must be buried; then, tc
denote the revival of Hawaiian suprem
acy, or the Inauguration of the ''natiys
idea" the flag should be disinterrec
and resume its proper place and func
tons as piece of emblematic bunting
There is report of the ceremen,
abroad to the effect that the perform
ance included devotions paid to th'
ancient Hawaiian deities, but thi
lacks confirmation. 1t is to be hopeC
that this part of ii is untrue, for if tn,
laws and usages purporting to havebeel
promulgated by those geni were to be
come regarded now, by any consider
S able portion of the population, as emit
tied to be observed, there would be
serious conflict of jurisdiction between
, them and the established order Of juris
prudence. But if the haole rule is pal
loa, the jurisprudence will be likewise

Singular Case of Paralysis,

Thos. ]. Lavine of Pittsburg went
to the theater recently and sat through
one act of very emotional character,
with legs crossed and locked in the
rungs of a chair When the curtain
fell he drew a breath Of relief, at
tempted to rise, and found that his
right side was paralyzed. He was car
ried home, and is very slowly recover
ing. Doctors suppose the paralysis to
have been caused either by an unusual
tension brought to bear on his brain by
temporary excitement while following
the drama, or by violent check to the
circulation of blood caused by the posi-
ton in which ne had been sitting.

How Light Affects the Blind.

An interesting account has lately been
furnished by NJ. Plateau, the eminent
Belgian physician who has been blind
nearly forty years, of the sensations he
experienced in his eyes. He has no sense
of objective light even when turning his
eyes to the sun. But his visual field is
alway divided into spaces, some Of
which are pretty bright and Others SOM
Der or nearly dark, and which merge into
each other. Their general tint alter
mates, in time, between gray and red
dish. The relative arrangement OF these
different spaces is always the same, but
the intensity of their tints varies. The
central tint seems now rather bright,
now rather dark; abose and below, and
on the left to the limits of the field, there
is sometimes brightness, sometimes dark
ness, but on the right there is generally
a vertical band, nearly black, and be-
yond this space which is nearly always
bright and reddish. These appearances
follow all the movements of the eyes,
which probably do not participate in the
same way in the tints, but d. Plateau
cannot distinguish what belongs to the
other. No connection of the general
tint with the work of digestion Is OBJ
served. The author states that he be-
came blind through looking fxedly at
the sun for some time, with view to
observing his after sensations; it was not
till about fourteen years after this that
Inflammation of the chloroid set in, de-

In the deep stiffness if one listens to
family heard sound, like that of the
ticking of a watch, it will be noticed
that at irregular intervals the tones are
wholly inaudible, while at other times
they are distinctly recognized. Sig.
Raggi, m Italian scientist, has ascer-
tained by experiments on different per-
sons that the intervals of silence usually
vary between seven and twenty-five Sec
onds; while the periods of sound-per-
ception are between seven and eleven
seconds in duration, with maximum of
fifteen. He also found that the variation
was not due to extraneous sounds nor to
the blood circulation or respiration, and
concludes that it results from the ina
bility to keep the attention for long
periods at sufficient degree of tension
for the perceptiod Of faint sounds or pos
sibly to variable physiological recep.

The Formation Of q Feather.

In the skin of fowl, where feather
is to appear, there is to be seen little
pit, and at the bottom of this rises a
little mound, or pyramid. Around
this pyramid certain little grooves
extend, deeper at the base, and SEEM
ing to radiate from one large groove
at one side, all growing shallo~cr, and
finally disappearing at the top. The
whole pyramid is covered with q skin
composed of the same scales, or fattencd
cells, as those which cover the whole
body. In the ordinary process of growth
the new formations on the surface of the
body throw off as effete matt2r the older
portions of the skin; but here they are
retained, and become so closely united
to each other that they form sort of
horny coat, more or less strong (acctri-
ing to its age), over the surface of the
pyramid. As new cells grow at the base,
they push up this little horny protuber-
ance till it breaks at its thinnest point,
which is opposite the large groove.
Then, as new growths still push it for
ward and fattcn it, it assumes the form
of feather, the ridge in the main fur
row, or grooves, form the separate barbs
of the vein. When all this web of the
feather is competed the pyramid loses
its grooves and becomes smooth. All
parts are OF equal thickness, end so hard
as not to break easily, but remain tubu-
lar, and form quill, which is attached
to what remains of the pyramid. The
finger nails, and even single: hairs, are
developed and formed in the same way.
and every one who has injured a nail and
lost it, knows by how long process,
some three or four months, the missing
finish to his digit is being rerroduced.-
