The Tahiti Disaster.

The Auckland Herald has accounts of
the Tahiti floods, which show them to
have been bad enough, but less awful
than reported in American papers. The
capital city of Papeete had five feet OF
water in the streets, and the fine roads
were destroyed to a great extent. 1t was
the little hamlet OF Papetoa which was
swept away, instead OF the city OF Pa
peete The lives lost were not the
thousands previously reported, but those
OF twenty-siX natives carried off with the
houses Of the village OF Papetoa.

THE CHAMPION CYCLlST.
\ Small House but Brilliant Per-
fOrmance.

\ Small House but Brilliant Per-
formance.
There was an undeservedly small
patronage given Sir. Maltby, the cham
pion cyclist of the world, at his opening
performance on the stage of the Ha-
waiian Opera House on Saturday even
ing. Although the stage was itself too
small to permit Of the best display OF
which the cyclist is capable, yet the feats
he performed were incredible to any
thing but the actual seeing OF them.
Mr.. Maltby appeared first in feminine
attire and many really thought it was a
lady who was performing the very skill
ful gvrations on the bicycle until unde-
ceived by the champion throwing off the
mask at the finish. In his next appear
ance, after doing some Of the finest tricks
Imaginable on the regulation bicycle,
Maltby removed the small wheel from
his machine. To the marvel of the au-
dience and the confusion of ordinary
ideas OF the laws OF gravity he balanced
and propelled himself about the stage on
the single Wheel first seated and again
with the seat taken off and supported
only on the treadles. \ greater feat still
was accomplished, when he attached the
driving gear to the little wheel, and rode
round on that alone. Other tricks were
performed, such as balancing the bicycle,
with the cyclist astride, upon chair.
Mr.. Melville appeared in good aero
battle feats on the trapeze and on ladders.
lie leaped twelve or fifteen feet in the
air from the trapeze to a swing. Also,
he gave some rare good tumbling. Prof.
Berger with the Royal string band fur
nished excellent orchestral accompani-
mentS.
The next exhibition will be on Tues
day evening. Seats are to be had at Mr..
l.. J. Levey's office.

A Penarious Sage.

Russell Sage, the great Wall street
magnate, is said TO be a very penurious
man. There is n story that when he
found what the bill would be for in
vitations alone for his wife's reception.
he decided that they could not afford to
entertain. A gentleman who knows
him well said that it vas impossiblefor
Mr.. Sage TO give away money. .He
worked too hard to get it," he said;
che knows the value OF every penny.
I think often he would be glad TO give;
he wants to, but he simply cannot. He
is a man who has made his " way,
and the force of his early habits is still
felt. Tracy Robinson, the rich poet,
took a fancy TO John Mccain, Sage's
confidential p-oet-secretary, and in
yited him TO 90 abroad with him. Nc
Cam couldn't soc his way clear TO ac-
cept. Well, the day OF Kobinson's sail
ing came and McCann went down to
see him OF. Robinson urged him to 60.
smoothed away every excuse. and
finally Mccain started for Europe with
81 in his pocket. He had a glorious
trip, and when he returned Sage told
him he did quite right TO 90. II am
glad you had the opportunity be said.
and then rather sadly added: .Atyour
age no one would have thought oil do
ing that for me.'n

JUSTICE IN CHINA.
Rather q Rough Thing to BE on the Coles
tial Police Force.

Ch'eug Ch'uug-hsin, a native of the
Chech'uan department in Homon,
bought ten years ago twenty-three pi-
2uIs of m from a neighbor nam
ed Sung Shih-lung, says the North
China Herald, and having no ready
none asked his brother-in-law. Hu
Heng-jung, 10 become security for him
for $50 tao, the price of the article.
Interest was to be paid at the rate Of
56 per cent, and the whole debt was TO
be repaid in nine months, Chen lost
on tn. transaction. and when the time
for payment arrived he was unable to
meet his liabilities, which now amount
ed to 319 tao. He accordingly made
wei his farm Of z mu to his creditor
for 277 tao leaving a balance Of 40
tao still due. Ten tao of this Sung
RENTED on the condition that the re-
mainder should be paid in two months.
Ch'eng did not inform his family OF
the sale Of the land, and when harvest
time came round his father proceeded
10 cap the crop. To this Sung natur-
aliy objected and a lawsuit ensued, the
result of which was that 90 tao of the
debt was struck cut and adecree issued
for the discharge of the remaining 10
tao. The Chen family refused to ac-
cept this arrangement and entered
upon a fresh course of litigation. Hu
Heng-iung. who had gone to Shansi in
the meantime. was wanted as a wit
ness, aud the policemen who were sent
TO search for him suspected that he was
still at home and entered the house in
hopes Of finding him. His mother, a
frail and sickly old woman, was so
startled by their appearance that she
slipped and fell, sustaining injuries
which resulted iu her death q few days
later.
Nothing would persuade Hu Heng-
Jung that his mother had met death by
fair means, and he lodged a complaint
containing a purely imaginative account
of the incident ia the local conrt and
eventually carried anappeal to Picking.
whence his case was sent back TO Honan
for trial. The above facts as elected
at the further examination show that
his action was influenced by affection
for his mother, and he has therefore
only been sentenced to the slight pun
ishment Of eighty blows for bringing
an unfounded action. Though the po-
licemen are not responsible for the
death Of the woman, yet, as it was In
directly caused by their entrance into
the house, they are each to receive
eighty blows and TWO months OF the
caDgue.
