to that of European cities.
The milk of large cities, it is stated.
contains more germs than that of small
communities, but it is probably no more
harmful.

colored boy of the Oak Grove neigh
borhood, was held up by highway
men and relieved of his cash, about
81 in silver. Warrants were sworn
out and placed in the hands of an of
ficer at once, but nothing further
could be heard from the suspected
parties. Constable W.. r. Brame, of
Lafayette, was given a description of
two of the negroes and on Tuesday
he arrested Dave Crawford and Chas.
Griffey and delivered them up to the
jailer of the county. The two will
have an examining trial before Judge
Breathitt tomorrow. They answer
the description of the robbers and the
chances are they will have trouble in
clearing themselves of the serious
charge.

WHARF AND WAVE.

DIAMOND HEAD, Jan. 10.-10P.M
Weather, clear wind, light NV
The Claudine is undergoing re-
pairs.
The second-purser of the Esmer.
elda is an Englishman.
The bark Mohican experienced
a comparatively calm voyage.
Yesterday was the most quiet one
along the docks for many a day.
The bark Paul Isenberg looks
like a new ship, now that she has
been painted anew.
Great crowds gathered around
the docks yesterday to watch the
Esmerelda come into port.
1t was reported that a guard was
to be sent aboard the Esmerelda.
It has not been done, however.
The steamer Waimanalo is de-
serted. She lies at Brewers wharf
without semblance of life aboard.
The tug boat was getting ready
to 60 out after the reported bark
when the message came that it was
a man-of-war.
The bark Mohican arrived yes
terday. When she was announced
many people thought she was the
U. S. s. Mohican.
Several passengers, thinking the
Island steamers were going to leave
yesterday, went to the wharves in
readiness, but no boats moved.
The steam dredge has been idle
for the past week on account of her
men having gone to aid the Gov
eminent in suppressing the rebels.
The officers of the Esmerelda
were very much bothered by the
question "are you going to Japan?"
People in Honolulu think the
Ecueadorean flag is simply mask
and the real destination of the war
ship is Japan. However the off,
GERS firmly deny any such story.
