HAWAIIAN ZOOLOGY.



Tia. Rri;ish Assoriatio, Desip0us %
Making Investigations ON th'
Ground.
Prof. D. Sharp, f. r. S.. has writ
ten to Mr.. A. Hoffnung, Hawaiiar
Charge d'Affaires in London, regard
ing a project of the British Associa.
ton for the Advancement of Science
to investigate the zoology of the
Hawaiian Islands. The letter is
dated from the University Museum
of Zoology and Comparative An
atomy, Cambridge, and states that a
committee has been appointed by the
Association ''to report on the present
state of our knowledge of the zoology
of the Sandwich Islands and to take
steps to investigate ascertained def
ciencies in the fauna" Prof. Flower,
G. B., Director of the British
Museum Natural History, is chair
man of the committee.
The committee is of opinion that
the zoology is but imperfectly known,
that it is of great scientific interest,
and that it ought to be further in
vestlgated. That the only way to do
this is to send naturalist to the
islands to explore their natural his
tory as thoroughly as may be found
possible, and TO transmit the objects
obtained to England to be examined
and reported on by competent
authorities.
The available means is first grant
of 200 from the British Associa-
ton, but it is hoped to obtain grant
of fl00 from the Royal Society, and
that these grants may be renewed
for one or more years. These sums
are not regarded as sufficient for the
purpose; however, and the Hawaiian
representative iD London is request.
ed to solicit the assistance of the Ha-
wailNn Government, and of any resi-
dents in the islands who may be able
and willing to promote the objects of
the committee. 1t is represented
that if the Hawaiian Government
would make grant to the naturalist
when in the islands, such grant TO be
expended in the islands, this in addi-
ton to the sums supplied to him by
the committee would add, to small
extent, to the wealth of the islands
rather than diminish it.
Prof. Sharp says "The know
ledge as to the natural history of the
Hawaiian Islands that has already
been obtained, incomplete as it is in
several respects, has been found to
be deeply interesting; and it is
thought that the attempt to render
this knowledge more complete should
be made as soon as possible, because
of the danger that the more charac-
teristic and peculiar features of the
zoology may become obIiterated by
the progress of civilization, as is
well known TO have occurred in some
other islands and to some extent
even in the Sandwich Islands them
selyes.'

SUPREME COURT.
January Term MIR. Justice McCuEy
Presiding.

Presiding.
TUESDAY, Jan. 6.
The King vs.. d. Iosua, selling
liquor without license. The evidence
was conflicting and the jury returned
a verdict of not guilty.
WEDNESDAY, Jan. Z.
The King VS.. Maiao (k.) The de-
PENDANT was charged with attempting
to commit rape, on the person of
native girl, about eight years of age,
ward of II. K. II. Poomaikalani,
the defendant being one of her SER
wants. The jury rendered verdict
of guilty without leaving their seats.
The Court in passing sentence said:
Maiao, among foreigners this offence
of which you have been proven gull
ty very clearly, is one of the worst
in the whole criminal calendar. When
it is committed in foreign countries
the whole community is so indignant
that 1t is very apt to rise and take
Jne HE OF tne man VINO mas commit
ted the crime al once. That is
against the law, but it is done. Every
man who has little daughter is
reused to indignation by thinking
what might be done to her.
Now, as | have said, that is the
feeling among the foreigners and |
believe that it is the feeling among
Hawaiians, and that from ancient
times they protected the chastity of
young girls before the advent of
Christianity here, and the Court in
tends to vindicate that principle, and
imposes upon you fine of ten
(SlO) dollars and imprisonment at
hard labor for the term of five years,
without costs.

CHINESE PlEkTtS.


Capture n British steamer or the
Oh ma Coast Captain POcocK and
Others Murdered.
The S. $. Oceanic brings news of
a fragrant act of Chinese piracy, COM
mitted on the British steamer Namoa
of the Douglas Lapraik & Co. line.
The Namoa had on board PAT Chi
nese and five or six Europeans, when,
only forty-three miles from Hong
kong, she was met by eighty-iive
pirates, who asked to be taken on
board as passengers. While the
officers were at lunch, at | 10 p. M,
the pirates in four bands made a
general attack on the steamer. They
filled the cabins with stink pots.
Capt. Peterson, lighthouse keeper at
the "Lamocks,' who was eating on
deck, was instantly killed, and
quartermaster was shot and thrown
overheard.
The engineer was shot in the wrist,
but, reaching his room, he got his
his revolver and shottwo of the
pirates dead. Capt. Pocock was
in the saloon and was told that
if he submitted to the ships being
looted no harm would be done
him or the passengers, but whenever
he stepped out of the saloon he was
shot dead.
The pirates got abou, $50, 900 from
the officers, passengers and crew.
They then smashed every boat and
turned the steamer toward the coast.
Five miles off the coast they gave
their accomplices ashore the signal
of three whistles, which brought
out six junks into which the
booty was loaded. Before leaving
the steamer they tossed bag con-
tanning 5000 TO the fireman, as a re-
ward for his assistance in drawing
the fires from the boilers.
The Namoa was taken back in her
sorry plight to Hongkong by the
chief officer. A British man-of-w war
was Immediately despatched in pur-
suit of the pirates, and it was re-
ported that some of them were cap.
tured. The BULLETIN is indebted for
this story to Mr.. W. l.. Roberts. who
obtained it from officers of the
Oceanic.

The Vigil.

The clock strikes twelve. Into the past
Another year has flown,
And time TO come must reap Of that
Which this dead year has sown.
And when the reaper shall go forth
The harvest morn to greet,
Full well know that he viii find
The tares among the wheat.
For chilling winds and rain full oft
The loaded warns attend,
Though only blue snd tender skies
Above the seed-time bend.
All well the dead days come not back;
But had only known
How many more than must reap
Where only I had sown.
That some may plant where others come
To sit beneath the vine,
And some must aye the vintage tread,
While others drink the wine.
In those dead days that come not back
Nv hand had taken heed
Against the binding of the sheaves
To SOW the better seed.
The clock strikes One-from out the East
The New Year comes apace;
The birthright of a hope divine
Shines on his fair young face.
Whatever else may change or fail,
Whateve, else may die,
Hope lights the fire of sunrise in
Each New Years reclining sky.
She bids the fsltering faith 90 forth
Across the fresh-turned sod,
To scatter seeds of love and truth
And leave their growth to God.
And though the hand that sows the seed
May be no longer here,
Its fruit shall fail in harvest time
Some other heart to cheer.

Company IS Coming

Bend your knees at worry's shrine
In intense devotion;

Cram the engine, get mp steam,
Set the wheels a humming,
Make them whirl, and whir and whIz,
Company Is coming"
Raise Il dust in every room,
Set the atoms flying;
ScOld the children, rout the cat
In the corner lying.
Rap those restless baby hands
On the window drumming;
Every window must be clean:
Company is coming"
Leave no object in the house
In condition normal,
Make the very cradle look
Prim, and stiff, and formal.
At the oven scorch your face,
Have the stove just blooming"
elk up something ''good to eat"
Company is coming"
Cram the engine, keep up steam,
Keep the wheels a-humming;
Scrub and scour, and bake and stew;
Company is coming"
Labor till "nervous" pulse
In your head is drumming,
Till you ache from head TO foot;
Company il coming
When your guests arrive, ii will
Make their pleasure double
To perceive you've put Yourself
To world of trouble.
Then, although you feel you've done
More than you were able,
Fail not to apologize
For your house and table.
This i hospitality
That the wheels be humming,
Rest and comfort banished, when
Company is coming"
