DEMURRER SUSTAINED.

In the Supreme Court this morn
ing, Mr.. Justice Preston gave his
decision in the case of II. A. Wide
mann VS.. Minister of Interior, in
junction to restrain defendant from
grading Halekauila street. A de-
murrer had been filed by the Attor-
ney-General on behalf of the defen-
dant. His Honor ruled that the
grading of the street did not take
property as claimed by the plain
tiff in his bill. A change of grad
ing the street was not an alteration
of the street rs contemplated by
certain sections of the Civil Code.
He therefore sustained the defen-
dants demurrer, with leave for the
plaintiff to amend the bill. The
plaintiff has not decided whether to
amend the bill or appeal to the
Court in Banco. A. s. Hartwell
for plaintiff, Attorney-General for
defendant.-Sept. 20.

THE STREET RAILWAY.

The grading on Alakea and Hale
kauila streets has been at a stand
still for several days, awaiting roll
ing operations for the consolidating
of the layer of material already de-
posted, and these operations have
been delayed by the softness of
the clayey material, which requires
a little drying before it can be roll
ed. The men who were employed
on the grading of the streets named,
are now engaged on the street rail
way works. The reinforcement
causes this work to proceed more
rapidly. The rails are now laid to
near the Government Nursery. The
finishing of the track advances slow
ly on account of insufficient supply
of the necessary broken stone.

This gentleman from the flowery
Kingdom is quite an importer, his
importations consisting of no small
amount of opium and sham shoe,
mostly of opium, wherein he seems
TO do thriving business. Asking
him il he was not afraid of his lille
gal business, he answered: "No,
what for me be afraid? Me heab
sabee, policeman he no can catchee
me, me too smart, me fix i'm all
right, me make plenty of fen of al"
Whatever the meaning may be elk
ing everything all right and of maxi
ing friends" have to leave to the
solution of the reader.
Last week, on the arrival of the
steamer l felt somewhat amused to
watch the antics of two native
policemen, one of whom called his
nose into considerable requisi-
ton to smell at the boxes, they be-
ing on hunt for opium. Noticing
me watching his doings he philoso-
phically put his finger on his nose,
at the same time informing me in a
kind of patronizing and confidential
manner, that a Chinaman had told
him, some other Chinaman was to
receive 40 tins of opium on that
day. Their search proving fruitless
they left later on in disgust. After
they had left, whom should l meet
but Mr.. All Sabee, with a grin on
his face so as to stretch his mouth
from ear to ear. In high glee he
began the conversation Ply saying:
cha, me heap fool him policemen,
he think he heap smart, he sabee
nothing. Me tell 'em one China
man he get 40 tins opium; ha, me
fool 'em." Asking him for the rea-
son of his conduct, he said: ooh
me sabee, me sabee too muchee,
you sabee, plentee Cinnamon ma
uka he sell 'em opium all the time,
me wantee make him heap scare,
s'pose him see policemen go makai
lookee for opium, he heap fraid, he
no more buy, he no more buy, no
more sell, me makee plentee money
then, sell all time; s'pose other
Cinnamon sell too, me no makee
plenty money. Me likee p'licemen

KOLOA, KAUAI, NOTES.

1t is fortunate for the people of
Koloa that the hot spell begins to
disappear, cooler weather setting
in. Even heaven seems to open its
gates again, sending down some
long looked for showers of rain.
A few days of rain will raise the
quantity and quality of our water
supply, The change in weather
seems to show its beneficial effects
already, for our sick begin to i'm
prove. Mr.. Cropp, Manager of the
plantation, is improving in health,
much to the joy of his friends.
A large number of sharks made
their debut lately in Koloa Bay.
Plenty of publ, sort of eel, abound
amongst the rocks in the bay, in
the vicinity of the landing, and are
eagerly sought for and killed by
some South Sea Islanders. Some
of these fish have a length of six
feet. A native told me that some
time ago one of these fish had been
caught that measured more than ten
feet. ms may be more prooaDle
than the story of another native,
who insists that he saw publ mea-
surfing "a feet in length and 2 feet
in circumference, taking natatorial
exercise around the bay of Kipu,
Kauai. This story will certainly
have to be taken with some grains
of salt.
That the tricks of the mongolians
are many and dark, and that the
heathens lose none of their charac-
teristics wherever they are, is clearly
proven by the doings and duplicity
of an Acknowledged celestial who is
in business here. AS don't know
his name / will call him All Sabee.

A TEMPEST QUICKLY ALLAYED.

The following perversion of truth
is from the S. f. Post of Sept. 18th:
Mr.. Volney V. Ashford of Homo
lulu, late Colonel of the Rifles, is a
versatile gentleman. Only a year
ago he belonged to the revolutionary
party and counseled the downfall of
the monarchy. Now he is adviser in
chief to King Kalakaua and candi-
date for Premier.
Mr.. Volney V. Ashford is in
trouble with the majority of the
European residents. His trouble
was caused by an interference with
the work of the Legislature. As
adviser to the King, he counseled
the veto of the Military bill, and the
bill requiring Chinese to keep their
accounts in Hawaiian or in some
European language. The King We
toed the act, it is said, because a
sack was provided for the Kings
private bank account. The Legisla-
ture passed the act over the veto,
whereupon native paper advised
the King to execute coup d'etat
and send the legislators about their
business.
According to private advices by
the brig w. G.. Irwin this article
created a sensation ameng the
whites, albeit the feeling was KEEP
down. Kalakaua got private
warning that annexation to the
United States would be well thought
of by the white people, and he was
told to subside. The Advertiser
printed warning and Kalakaua has
not had anything to say since about
the matter.

WILLIAM WRIT.

This great lawyer was attorney
general of the United States. Chief
Justice Marshall said he was the
greatest lawyer and the most elo-
quent advocate that ever appeared
before him in the Supreme Court of
the United States. He never APP
peared there without being fault
lessly dressed and with pure white
kid gloves and white cravat, and he
never wore the same pair of gloves
in court twice.
He resided in Baltimore, Mary
land, and had large practice there,
as well as in the Supreme Court of
the United States. While in the
zenith of his fame and prosperity,
he became engaged to Il lady of
wealth and high social position in
Baltimore. She presented him with
a splendid pocket handkerchief, in
which she had artistically worked
his name, with her own fair hands.
Writ attended q convivial party in
Baltimore, and unfortunately and
unusually for HIM, partook little
too freely of delicious beverages.
They so far impaired his equability
that he fell on the pavement on his
way home, and slept there. While
in that position, the fair donor of
the handkerchief happened to pass
along, and upon looking down upon
Writ, recognized him and the hand
kerchief she had given him. She
Immediately caused him to be con-
veyed to his home, and refused to
see him ever after that.
A man of wealth and respectable
character was indicted in Washing
ton City, upon grave criminal
charge, and he went to Baltimore
Gao miles distant), to employ Writ.
He told Writ that he would give him
two thousand dollars if he would
take his case, and that if he got him
clear, he would give him two thou
sand dollars more. Writ took the
two thousand dollars, said he would
do the best he could for him, and
hoped he would win, as he would be
glad to get the other two thousand
dollars. They mounted their horses
and rode to Washington-there be-
ing no railroad then, anywhere in
the woodland got there and into
the court room, just in time to sec
the district attorney rise and say,
that lie had found, upon examine
ton, that there was not sufficient
evidence to convict, and he there
fore asked that nolle prosequi be
entered, which was accordingly
done. After retiring from the court
room, the man asked Writ to return
half the money he had given him.
Writ refused, saying, he had receiv-
ed the money as retainer, and I'M
der contract and agreement TO do
the best he could for him, that he
had done the best he could, and
that it would be unprofessional in
any lawyer to return fee, or any
portion of fee fairly obtained after
the lawyer had fulfilled his part of
the contract to the extent that the
client and the circumstances allowed
HIM to do. The man presented a
petition to the court, setting forth
the facts, and asked the Court TO
order Writ to return half the money
| or be disbarred, but the Court re-
fused, remarking that it could not
aid him in violating contract with
his attorney, and that the court sat
there to enforce, and not to violate
contracts.
