FLOWERS FOR GRAVES.
AN AGED wANDERER AND ms
PECULIAR MISSION.
To Decorate the Resting Places of the
Behcadcd-From Napa valley, Cali
fornia, with Roses.

An arrival by the Australia adds a
character to the water front. The
passengers name is Maj. Christie. He
is from Napa valley, CAL, and looks like
a little old man OF the mountains. The
Major is mild hammered and extremely
pleasant. In conversation he wanders Il
trihe at times, but there is no harm in
the aged waif.
Major Christie has as personal bag
gage 1000 rose sprigs. These he brought
to plant upon the graves of
those who had been beheaded. As
he finds no fresh mounds fashioned in
carrying out a royal edict, he will sell
the plants. The old gentleman is at the
Oceanic dock, where Mr.. Whitney has
given him space and Mr.. Sanders and
the Customs people kindly assist him.
He has many varieties of roses and will
sell them cheap.
The visitor says he is Union veteran
and that for twenty years he had a
homestead in Napa valley. Adversely
impoverished him and now he is a
wanderer. From his talk it is evident
that he has followed Hawaiian affairs
closely. He has been with the Pro-
visional Government, but says he is now
ready to smoke the pipe of peace with
all. In speaking of the events of last
winter the major becomes quite excited.
He has been trying to get to Honolulu
