onies to this port. Maze Johnson of
the s. c. Allen Will assume command
as master.
The James Makee came in from Ka-
paa with a load of rice yesterday
morning She sailed again for the
same port in the afternoon.
Capt. Clarke, formerly of the P. NJ. S.

Pigeon Point. 90 miles south of San
Francisco. will be second officer on the
o. s. S Australia this trip.
The steamer Kinau is having an ex-
tension put on to the room space on
deck. This is nothing more than a
neat 12x12 smoking and card room
astern. which will contain a neat Ii
brary and four tables for the accom-
mediation of the passengers.
The r. NJ. S. Miowera, Charles w.
Hay commander, left Victoria 6:15 p.
m. on the 10th of November. After
clearing the straits of Juan de Fuca
the ship ran into strong southwest
gale, with heavy seas running, which
continued until the 10th, during which
time the ship had to be kept at re-
duced speed. From the morning of the
18th to her arrival, moderate winds,
with fine weather were encountered.
She arrived in Honolulu at 11:30 p. N.
of the 18th.
r The P. NJ S. S. City of Picking came
into port at a. m. on Tuesday with
9O719 tons of general merchandise for
this port. This had to be discharged
from three matches, but before doing
this it was necessary to shift some 400
tons of through San Francisco freight
before even package of Honolulu
freight could be moved. All of the
freight was discharged and sorted out
on the Pacific Mail wharf, the San
Francisco freight was returned TO It's
place, rs tons of coal was taken into
the ships bunkers, and she was ready
for sea at 5 p. NJ. This breaks all
previous records of dispatch in dis
charging vessels, and Archie Gilfillan
has the deserved credit of being the
prime mover in the good work.

INCREASE OF THE NORWEGIAN
MARINE

In communication to the London
Times, of September 23d, w. Leatham
Bright prominent British shipowner,
has the following: Steamships under
he Norwegian flag have Increased from
395 with 246. 669 gross tons in 1S90-91
to $50 with 446,3S4 gross tons in 1895
90. 1t is a well-known fact that, owing
TO the doubtless weIl-meaning but al
together unnecessary restrictions of
the Board of Trade, a British steamer
is not allowed to carry as much as
foreign steamer by 200 to 300 tons At
the same time Loyd's insure a foreign
steamer and class her without putting
on any restrictive load-line. There are
today, should say, $50 to 200 steamers
under the Norwegian flag built by
British capital, manned by Norwegian
sailors, exempt from paying income
tax, shipping fees and discharging fees
on crews, and Board of Trade fees,
which are heavy, for inspection, etc.
Now, under the Norwegian flag none
but Norwegian sailors can serve, hence
the British sailor is excluded from
BritiSh-Owned boats. Is it not time
that Parliament should make some lit
tie attempt to foster the greatest inter-
est in the country instead of loading
it with absurd and sentimental restric-
tons? There would be no difficulty in
providing a seaman's nursery in the
mercantile marine.

From the Shelbyville Gazette.
Two remarkable cases of longevity were
recalled recently by a conversation between
several gentlemen in this city. They were
discussing the death of the Rev. George
Mccall, the veteran Baptist preacher when
it was automatically stated that Mr.. Nc
Calls great-grandfather lived to the ripe
old age of ore hundred and twenty-seven
years. He was bachelor at one hundred
and took a notion to get married. He car
ried out his idea and was married. Three
sons were born to him, and he lived to see
the oldest son old enough to vote.
This was considered remarkable, but q
gentleman in the crowd, whose character
ard standing, relIgiously and socially, are
above reproach, told an authentic account
of the life of his great-uncle who was one
of Georgia's pioneer citizens. This old gen.
tleman lived to be $50 years old. He lived
in a log cabin, in the northern end of which
was cut a square hole. The old man turned
the head of his bed to that hole, and slept
that way in the Warmest and coolest
weather. His wife died when he was about
ninety years old, and for many years he
lived as a widower. At the age Of one hun
dred and fifteen he cut an entirely new set
of teeth, and at the age of one hundred end
twenty-three one morning he saddled his
own horse, sprang into the saddle and rode
thirty miles to address widow and to ask
her to be his wife. He evidently was re-
jected, for he rode back that day and lived
seven years longer.
