News From Samoa.

4 private letter received at Honolulu
from Samoa states that admiral Kim
berly's action has been such that neither
Marty conld fail to trust him. In all his
negotiations he has refrained from taking
sides, although it was understood how
he felt"
"The present German onsul-General,
DIR. Steubel, is doing all he can to pre-
serve the peace; and all the Germans
here are now agreed that Or. knapp's
rule was a series OF mistakes and tyran-
nous acts"
From another source it is learned that
the natives of Samoa are living on rice !;
but, as that diet is too expensive Tor
them, they have scarcely enough to sat
isfy hunger. The people OF New Aea-
at last accounts, were bestIrrlng
linz elves to send cargo of provisions
! B.. ~ GOA, the expense OF which would
/ be hone by subscription.

BASEBALL.
The Kaiulanis Easily Defeated by the
Kamehamehas.

The audience that attended the base
ball match on Saturday afternoon at Ma
kiki was of the usual size, the grand
stand was filled, and number were IN
carriages along the fence on the mauka
side. The game was not up to the usual
standard, as the Kaiulanis have too
many weak players in the nine, and OF
course fell easy prey to the Kameha-
mehas, who have won four out of five
games played this season. Following is
the score:

Generally one disappointment is fol-
lowed by others. A false report on Fri

did come on Saturday, she did not bring

had been made to receive in grand style.

Eggs are now sold in many parts OF
Australia by weight. This fact IS
pointer to the Hawaiian Government,
and an enactment to the same effect
won d prevent much unfairness In the
sale of eggs. Some eggs are three times
as heavy as others; and, when sold by
the dozen, the buyers frequently get SOLD
also. At present there is practically a
premium in the production and sale OF
small eggs.

1t has been suggested that an exhlbI-
ton of Hawaiian products, together with
an aquarium, should be established con-
yenient to the Oceanic wharf. The few
hours, which the steamers stay at Homo
lulu, do not enable the through passengers
to see very much; and, when 1t is con-
silered that each steamer carries an
average OF over two hundred passengers,
the suggestion is worth consideration as
e means q g. vertising the Islands abroad.

Smith promptly constructed a very
comfortable tent with the sails and BAN
boo poles of our boats, and as there was
a good hour before breakfast I set off to
the sea beach to have a dip in the surf
Smith contenting himself with bath in
the quieter waters opposite our camp.
Surf bathing is sometimes condemned as
dangerous if INDUCED in when the sun is
high in the heavens; but, by frequent
experiments, l know It affords pleasure
and health, provided you wear a pith
topee, and do not battle Immediately after
a meal. had brought an old ''mush-
room for the very purpose, and was
enjoying a swim, and the rolling over
which each succeeding breaker gave me.
I was in no hurry to leave the surf, but
the current was setting toward the south,
aid it bore me ere long to the entrance
to the back water, the bar being open at
that time of the year. Presently Smith
appeared on the beach with his gun in
his hand, and he suddenly began beckon-
ing eagerly to me. 1 sang out to know
what he wanted, and his reply was,
''Man, / want you on shore as soon as
possible" ''All right "I'm coming.
Just another dive" This time he shouted
quite angrily "Come out at onceln
So l struck out somewhat lazily for the
shore, wondering what could have hap
pened to the worthy Captain to excite
him so much. He was now gesticulat-
ing frantically, and I began to wonder
whether he had got a sunstrGke and was
delirious, when, horror he raised his
gun to his shoulder, took deliberate aim
at me, and fired! 1 heard the shot fly
over my head, and as he had another bar
rel loaded l swan furiously to land to dis
arm him before he might kill or fatally
wound me. As rushed out of the water
he flung down his gun and elapsed me in
his great powerful arms. You were
nearly done for" he exclaimed. Il
think so, " I replied, for though you are
a good marksman you are not quite a
William Tell, and those shots were IN
comfortably near my head, - I added, not
in good-tempered tones. at was not
you I fired at; it was the sharkln True
enough, while I was swimming in the
smooth water at the entrance to the Ia
coon, small shark had seen me. Smith
having bathed and dressed had come to
look after me and to hurry me up for
breakfast. Fortunately he brought his
gun with him, and at the moment he
reached the beach he saw the danger 1
was in and rescued me as I have de-
scribed. Later in the day some fisher
men found the body of the shark, which
had died of the shot wound from Smiths
gun. 1t was about eight and one half
feet long, and though it could not have
eaten me, 1t could have snapped off a
limb, which would have sufficed. In the
surf l was perfectly safe, but the. vora-
ciOus fish had selected the slack water at
the bar as happy hunting ground, and
he nearly got a prey which would have
been unpleasant for me.-BlaekUood

WORDS OF WISDOM.

How much the wife is dearer than the
bridal
A wise man in his house should find a
wife gentle and courteous, or no wife at
all.
Nothing fatters a man so much as the
happiness of his wife; he is always proud
of himself as the source oft.
A right of opinion is not consistent
with dependence upon another to be
taught what the opinion shall be.
Don't be afraid of wild boys and girls /;
they often grow up to be the very best
men and women. Wildness Is not
vieiousness.
Man will not obstruct civilization by
acting his honest convictions unless they
lead him to interfere with another, who,
by the same right, chooses to act differ
emily.
Fools with bookish knowledge are
children with edged weapons; they hurt
